*There is a small puff of ozone and then there is a somewhat surprised looking Ginta in the Nexus. He glances at the PINpoint in his hand before a small grin stretches across his face.*

*Wendel's smile fades a little, however, as she hears his question, and she nods shortly.*
Yeah... I got to see one of the 27 True Runes in action, back during the war.

27 True Runes? I think I remember you saying something about a rune cannon. Is it anything like that.

*eyes widen* Wow, these runes sound kinda like... well, shikon shards. Maybe a bit more powerful if they grant eternal life. That's some crazy stuff.
*He looks at the rune then twitches at the mention of wind powers.* Wind, eh? I've definitely seen how that kinda thing can cause a lot of destruction.
*looks back up at Wendel* So... what did it do? *very curious*

Then this... *gestures* ...It was like a wave of black and violet light, almost a fog -- but it shot out like a cannon from the back of the Cataclysm, and the most horrible screams tore through the air... I'd never heard anything like it before. And it completely wiped out the enemy ships... it cleared up so quickly, but the water was already still, like there hadn't been anything there at all...

Dear gods that is some frightening power, isnt it? So, what kind of power was behind that rune? Like a negative energy or what?

...I also learned that it didn't quite work the way the True Runes have always been said to work. Instead of making its bearer almost immortal, it sapped their strength every time they used it... until they finally turned into ash and it moved to another body.
*looks down* ...I didn't learn about any of this until after it looked like we'd lost Lazlo.

*headshake* That's some pretty big consequences, too. This Lazlo... he was the one bearing the rune?

*nods* Yeah... Lazlo was our captain, and the leader of the Vepar. He used the Rune's power to shield us from a backlash when Fort El-Eal collapsed... when the light cleared, he was lying on the deck, and wasn't breathing. ...We set his body adrift in a boat, on the king's orders; apparently, Lazlo had wanted it that way, if it was possible, to avoid having the rune jump to one of his friends...
But somehow, he survived all that, and was brought back to Obel by the ship that found him after he recovered. *shakes head* I still don't understand how he managed it... Guess the rune had something to do with it.

You and me both. In fact, I was so relieved at the time that I passed out right on the spot... Y'know, given the fact that me and my buddies were all unconcious by the end of that it's a really good thing that Kagome-neesan and Inuyasha were there to get us out of harms way.
