Pardon my interest, Player, but what sort of plans did you have for that Kromede's Flame of yours?

If you melt it down, you know, you can compound it with the Sword of the Judge to make one very strong weapon.

Player: "How can this be done?"

You'll need three things, Daeva.

The first is Kromede's Flame, which you already have. The second is a skilled and accomplished blacksmith...and that would be me, the legendary Ukon.

And third, you'll need the Sword of the Judge for me to refine.

Player: Accept.

Consider yourself blessed by Ariel, Player. I normally wouldn't bother with an unpaid project like this...but I'm making amends for some past actions.

Absolution has its price, you know. And since you're the first Daeva-in-need I've come across, the honor of my help is all yours.

Start at the Fire Temple in Asmodae. You'll find the Sword of the Judge there with Kromede the Corrupt. Get that, and I'll do the rest.

Player: "Sounds like a good plan."

I told you it wouldn't be that difficult, Player.

Now, hand over the Sword of the Judge and Kromede's Flame, and I'll get my anvil warmed up.

Player: "Here's everything you need."

You have some reservations about my abilities, Daeva?

I practically invented the art of blacksmithing, but you're going to stand there and question me?

Just hand me the Sword of the Judge and Kromede's Flame, and I'll show you why I am considered a legend. Remember: both need to be in your Cube!

Player: "A legend is simply a rumor."

Whew! Kromede's Flame is a bit tougher to work with than I imagined, but it's finished. Just as promised and stronger than ever.

Here, take your refined weapon, Kromede's Sword. Don't hurt yourself with it, Player.
