"And you say that you go by what name?" The old man inquired.
"Omega." Kronos answered.
"Aha! Come this way and bring those two of question with you."
The man turned and led Kronos through the rooms and corridors of the temple. All the strange seemed excessive but when they came across a staircase Kronos began to catch on to what the monk had done. It was a unique maze as instead of leaving out in a 2D plane they had entered a hidden 3D plane. The entrance to the hidden staircase had been covered up by wizards' magic.
After some walking they came to a large chamber filled with scrolls and strange items. The monk moved towards a rack of scrolls and brought out a large black scroll and a small teal colored one. He bode to Kratos to lay the two weapons on the longest of the tables in the room. Kronos did as he was told laying Rho's Halberd down and unsheathing his sword he placed it and its sheath on the table next to the other weapon. The monk in turn rolled out the larger scroll. With his hand he moved over the Horimono of Kronos' sword and then a similar one that was on Rho's halberd.
"They are just what I thought they were. You my friend have in your possession two of the most powerful weapons ever made...." He started reading the scroll that was laid out before them interpreting it as he went. "It is said that a large meteorite was found beyond the Caliast Sea. It contained a peculiar type of metal— or material that seemed like such – That could nullify the works of magic and of men. Then things get blurred out until a man or woman came. It doesn’t clarify a name or gender. But a person came, of whom found the secrets of manipulating this material. They did not share the secrets of this discovery, but instead they closed off the area. And for almost three quarters of a century nothing was heard or seen of this person until one day the person visited upon the people. Now the ones whom remembered him caused quite a commotion and in turn the unknown person brought a select people, 15 to be exact, from all around the lands to present them with a gift. When they arrived this person gave to them all weapons, forged of the material of the meteorite, and for his self, he kept a sword, which is claimed to be the strongest of the weapons. Together they were called the GodFall weapons. And to each a person he presented to them gauntlets so that they may tap into the hidden power of these tools –“
“I have those!” He piped in but then contemplated. “But why or how do they actually work? I mean I have used them before but well—they do work— it’s just why it that they can work is?”
“Good question, however I do not know the answer. They are just some kind of material that is compatible with the material of the meteorite. Anyways shall I continue?”
Kronos nodded.
“Alright, well this is the end of the story but there is more text here that explains about the weapons and the gauntlets. It says the more exposed a person is to the weapons through the gloves they start to retain a name of the original owner…Oh, no I misread that. It says that the wielder starts to retain the name of the weapon and be called that in turn. In your respect you have taken the name Omega, however this is actually the name of the sword. The other weapon is called…Now what was it again. The halberd type was called…..”
“Rho…It was the name the owner called himself, so it must have been the weapon’s name.”
“Ah, yes I remember that now, thank you.” The monk rolled the scroll up and grabbed the slightly smaller one. “Now, it took time to track down any information that I could on the weapons. What I found however is very good information on all sixteen of these GodFall weapons. They seem to all have a property that exemplifies the sixteen key aspects of existence. Here this chart shows the names, the properties, and the type of weapon that the GodFalls are.”

“Now don’t forget, using the weapons with the gloves may affect your mind in an unknown manner, so be careful.”
“Don’t worry I will be mindful of how I use my blade.” Kronos affirmed. “Once again thank for all this help and especially for the scroll as well.”
“Worry you not. It is of no troubles.”
In respect Kronos did a fist in hand salute bow to the monk whom retuned the salute with a great smile. Then having all he needed Kronos turned and continued on his way.
