In pursuit of greater power, Azure and Storm venture to the once slumbering city of Azys Lla. A floating continent of legend now opened follow the defeat of Thordan, this place was once the foremost center of research for ancient Allag. Master Craftsman known as Gerolt and his assistant, Jalzahn, traveled to this ancient land to further develop their weaponsmith. By harnessing aether they are able to craft powerful weapons, that follow ancient blueprints and are living replicas of former legendary artifacts. Upon hearing of these tales and being the ones who opened the gate to this labyrinth of history to begin with, the two meet with the weaponsmith and he agrees to forge them what were once called "Anima Weapons".
This, however, was no easy feat. The materials needed to craft them were some of the hardest to obtain metals in the world. Through countless trials and long days of grinding... At last, all materials were obtained! "Get over here, you two." the rigid blacksmith hollered at our two heroes. "Go ahead and place the materials there, I'll get to work." suddenly another voice called out "Not so far, you muscle head!" Gerolt's assistant, Jalzahn stepped forward. A very old book he hand he shook his head. "Yes, we do have all the materials we need, theoretically." He closes studied the pages before him and pausing briefly before looking at Storm and Azure. "However! There is one thing mentioned here you forgot, aether oil." Gerolt looked stunned. "Huh?! I know for sure I did not see that on the materials list... Why do they need this oil?" The apprentice smiled and closed his eyes "Fool! You may be a master smithy but it is I who is the scholar! The oil, it's so they can wield the weapon in the first place! Without it, it's energy is too destructive to even hold!" Finally coming to an agreement, the two decided together this final material was needed after all, unfortunately it's one that's extremely hard to come by. There are tales of an expert adventurer in Limsa Lominsa, so the two set out to find this master of the arts.
Upon arriving, Azure spots a shiny vase in a shop keeper's window. "Oh! Storm! Check this out." his eyes widened with awe. "It's BLUEEEEEE!" he tended to have a fondness for the color. Storm, reluctantly shook her head and the two stepped in the shop. A pink haired Miqo'te walked past them. "You two! I've heard all the stories about you!"
