The Ancient Blood Spear is a, currently, unnamed spear discovered in underground ruins within the Forbidden City. Other than being a sturdy spear, it does only one other thing: pull blood toward the tip. As a result, the spear is especially dangerous to any living being and even stabs to the extremity can render a body without blood in seconds.

Celestia currently possesses the Ancient Blood Spear.

Overview

The Ancient Blood Spear can be wielded just as a normal spear. The tip is slightly longer than typical. This allows it to be almost as useful as a glaive with slashes. It is made of solid metals of sturdy, durable construction. It is resistant to aging as the spear survived an untold amount of years in the ruins below the Forbidden City. The pole of the spear is adorned with gold. The tip, when cleaned of the ancient blood on the spear, is silver in color.

Effects

The runes are etched into the tip of the spear. The runes activate upon touching any blood. Once activated, the spear will pull blood toward the tip.

If the spear is fully embedded into a being of flesh, blood is pulled at such speed that it can create a vacuum within a being - thus pulling even more blood from the body. At that point, even if the spear leaves the body it could continue to pull blood unless the stream is broken.

The spear can easily drain all the blood from a being's body. Even grazing blows from the spear could drain more blood from a being than what would be normally done.

Blood pulled by the spear collects at the tip and remains there until after a minute of no additional blood touching the blade. Once the rune deactivates, all the collected blood just falls even if it touches the spear once again.

History

The Ancient Blood spear resided within an Forbidden City ruin for an untold amount of years. A stone carved mural above the spear showed many ancient people of the Forbidden City wielding spears similar to the Ancient Blood Spear. The depictions stabbed the spears into carvings of people with reptilian tails and the blood of these being falling into a pool. A dragon in the mural was shown to be in chains.[2]

The spear rested on a pedestal that had some contraption that would activate when the spear was touched. The pedestal would attempt to clamp the touching person's arm and then stab a needle into their arm. [3]

Tereth Adathar moved fast enough to avoid being clamped by the mechanism, yet as a result the needle could not draw blood. As a result, the ruin unleashed mummies. However, Tereth was able to drop blood on the needle - which stopped the mummies immediately. [4]

After that, Tereth took possession of the Ancient Blood Spear.[5] Once he returned to the surface, he passed it to Celestia.
