“As I was saying…” The mer cleared her throat. “Seeing that you were busy killing those crabs, which is convenient for us as they make troublesome nocturnal predators for us, I decided to not disturb you.”

“Predators? Hm…” the Summoner spoke with a calculative mien. “Not to disturb us, or for the convenience that we’d eliminate them for you?”

“Spare me the complaining,” the merpony spoke with outright sternness. “I’ve went out of my way and made several arrangements and to give you…” she began motioning her hooves together, forming an illuminant orb of energy.

A pool of water, just about the size of a person, began to swell up from the ground, it's waters faintly permeating a blue glow. Emerging from the waters was something metallic, protruding its tip from the crevice of foreboding waters. It was as thick as a stick, but not so much that it'd be effortlessly snapped--it was about the size of a lance's base.

It finally emerged from view, the triple pronged skewering tips that was without a doubt a trident's. The multi-pronged weapon casted off the luminescent liquid from it, revealing its golden surface laced with blue crystalline shards embedded into it.

Seaweed with an unnatural pigment of yellow hung loosely from it, seemingly binded in knots as to prevent them from falling off. These water indigenous strips of plants appeared to let out sparks of lightning from them in a timed interval of a couple of seconds.

Where the prongs meet with the handle was some sort of gem that was much bigger than the shards present around the base of the trident. It was much more bigger and was opaque with a blue hue.

"...that. Behold." The merpony slithered towards it, leaving a trail behind her. Grasping it within her hooves, she rose it high, causing it to reflect the sun rays much more intensely causing it to emanate a golden luster. "One of the marvels of the Merponies."

Casually, she arced it down, grabbing it by the middle of it. Stretching her hooves back, she tossed it at the Main Character's direction.

With a flinch of eight or so people, excluding Audrey since she has an innate habit of disregarding danger, the Main Character stiffened his stance.

The trident simply landed before them, piercing deep within the ground, sticking upright, ready to be used.

Grasping the base of it, Ral spoke suddenly as the sensual feeling of lightning suddenly grasped around the Main Character, "Compatible with the element of lightning... This. Will. Be. Amazing."

"W- wait!" the Summoner spoke out towards the mer who was turning around, heading towards the ocean. "This... this is nice and all, but what we really need are allies-"

"What do you think I'm doing?" The mer began to descend into the waters, her shoulders being barely able to reach the surface. "I'll get you willing soldiers. Give me time."

"And... she's gone," Malideus announced, seeing that the mer has already delved into the abysmal waters. "We'll have to come back here later on for that promised army."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-" Ral suddenly gained control, wielding around the trident around, swishing it from right to left , up and down in one hand. "Staff of Vodahmin," Ral spoke, looking at the Staff held in a firm vice within the Main Character's left hand, "return to inventory."

The staff lit afire with a pure white light, completely being engulfed by it. Completely obscured within the radiance's stretch, the Staff disappeared, leaving behind dissipating embers of light from where it once existed.

"Wait- voice commands?" Vaati spoke out. "How did you know that the inventory thing responded to voice commands-"

"Lucky guess," replied Ral, before returning his attention to the staff.

“I say its time for… An experiment!” he shouted out, somewhat giddily as he was suppressing his urge to rapidly shake around like a schoolgirl.
