=You do realize you could just add the hilt yourself and then hand the sword over to Lythero, right? Like...this isn't a test, it's just the sword itself releasing waves of power.=

=So...why?=
'Because this entire ritual has been going too smoothly and I want to see if this motherfucker has the balls to grab destiny by its family jewels as well. Besides, cultivation is weird like that. Sometimes you end up in a situation that might as well be someone else's personal trial.'
=Huh...=

'Okay, I just need to attach the hilt to the blade and pull it out of the furnace,' Lythero repeated to himself as he imagined surmounting the test before him. 'Sounds easy enough.'
