After teaching me all the theoretical knowledge that he knows, which to be honest, isn't the best amount, he finally did a practical lesson with me.

"Today, you'll be trying to put a soul freshly remade after reincarnation into a sword. making it into a honedge. I hope you remember the steps?"

"Yes father"

Soul bending was an extremely delicate process. do it wrong and the soul will snap and corrupt itself, luckily corruption of the soul doesn't mean much as the soul would fade out of existence a couple of days after stored in a room. so although it wouldn't do much, it's still sad to see

walking up to the workbench, Avan saw a specifically made sword designed to hold a honedge.

"Honedge is fairly simple when it comes to soul inserting. all you have to do is pick a soul with a strong colour inside of it. preferably dark blue or green. It's also good to mention that the stronger the sword it's held in, the stronger the Honedge born from it."

souls had colours incased into the blue outer shell. the colour of the inside of the soul meant the personality of it for example

Green - Kind

Blue - Brave

Orange - Cowardly

Red - Corrupt

Black - Evil

White - Pure

Purple - Prideful

Yellow - Strong-Willed

etc.

The more strong the colour, the more intense the feeling the pokemon will hold. Although reincarnation wipes all of the memories and the sense of feeling, Be it Human or pokemon, their emotion still engrave it into their soul.

"Driftblim, Please get me a split soul"

A split soul is a mixture of 2 different personalities.

there's also 3 different mixtures of a personality called a compound soul but those are too frail to work with like beginners like himself.

"drifffffft" Nodded the drifblim as it slowly passes the soul with care.

prior to popular belief, Driftblim is a kind of pokemon that shepherds and helps sick pokemon and people alike. the stories of it kidnapping children are all just myths and never were confirmed.

the soul he was going going to put into the sword was a split between Green and Blue this was because Aeglishlash is normally meant to be royal guards. It also said that the kings and queens that preceded the ideal and truth tyrants were gifted a honedge by my family every generation handcrafted from a talented member of my family.

of course with the passing of time, this tradition died down but it's still just a fun fact to point out to you, Mr Nobody

feeling the soul in his hands, Avan then quickly draws an Ouroboros seal onto the sword and then puts it onto his arm, engraving it deep into his flesh. 2 seconds later the seal popped up on his arm

The ouroboros seal. A seal showing a picture of a snake eating its own tail, signifying death, life and rebirth showing the eternal cycle of reincarnation

Luckily, the engraving on his arm is a one-time thing. which is fortunate since the pain his arm is in is immense.

Finally, the hardest part of the ritual inserting the soul into the sword.

the next step is to do hand signs similar to Naruto to seal the soul.

this easy to say and hard to do. even if one pinky finger is a millimetre out of the place the ritual will not be complete

luckily however, I was able to do it without a hitch.

Suddenly, however, there was a gust of wind encasing the room

"What's going on!" Avan said to his father who stood there with a creepy smile

"It's a soul mutation. only meant to happen to the creator of the ouroboros technique and the person 100 years ago. every time you do a soul bending ceremony not only will the pokemon become shiny, but it will also be significantly stronger than normal. however, that's nothing compared to the last benefit of soul mutation. something scientists call the battle bond. it all started with a talented trainer from Kanto called red. although soul bending is a way to get a battle bond achieved, there are also different ways such as having your soul interconnected with the pokemon in some way or another. in this form the pokemon will be synced with the trainer in a way mega evolution could never do"

suddenly the gust of air condensed into a thread, shooting at Avan heart and at the sword at the same time.

However, instead of hurting, he felt oddly relaxed as he felt his soul interconnect with the sword.

once the thread hit the sword, the sword went under a metamorphosis

The sword became longer and shinier as an eye slowly appeared. the dull grey like blade became a Dark crimson red and the handle and shaft became Pure purple which is different from a normal shiny honedge. the scabbard became pure polished platinum which is also different from a honedge shiny eye, which is normally purple, was blue, matching mine.

Honedge can't talk but they can make a clinking sound by slamming their scabbard into their sword, this means there happy if they have their eyes close

seeing me it closed its eyes while clinking its sword with what I imagine to be a happy expression
