SWORDTEMBER DAY 18: GLASS

The Alchemist’s Last Resort, of tempered glass and sharpened ooze 🧪💧 "'Okay, this one if you're hurting,' The alchemist pointed to a thin vial where a swirling velvet red liquid whirled, 'This one for if the shadows start murmuring' It pointed to a champagne glass of brilliant white, small specks of glass twinkling in the dim light. "and this one-" The little figure shuffled across the floor of the wine cellar. It was not much more than a jangle of limbs under an intricate tapestry of a cloak. "I wont say this again. This one-" Three bony arms emerged from the silk, pointing to a more modest bottle. Purple shimmering liquid bubbled up against the cloudy glass. "Dont drink this one."

Glass sword! At least glass bottle? This definitely wasnt me getting jealous of the"potion" prompt on the other swordtember list

Yesterday's sword!

A sword forged in crystal, with the uncanny ability of fixing itself upon break and the ability to reform into a plethora of shapes. However, those who dare handle it will face the meddling of a watcher, a crystalline undead creature. Said being has seen the weapon pass countless of times as inheritance, and had never managed to get in proper touch with any of them. Most discarded their voice as hallucinations, or early signs of dementia. That was up until the last of the heirs got her hands on it: She saw the spirit trapped into the sword as it was, and made a pact with them, seeking their help in exchange for their eventual freedom. Neither of the two expected a deep friendship to come from such deal, though.
