The Weapons had little in the way of rules—whether in how they lived, how they fought, or what they were.
Elian Reed, the original Forged, commands both Living Metal and the Dominator variants. Everything he does with them is recorded—memories etched into metal, preserved forever.
This meant that anything Elian had done before, Living Metal could do again—easier, faster, stronger. Such memory inheritance was the foundation of both Charade and the gear Elian used. But more importantly, it allowed the entire faction to evolve collectively.
Sons and Daughters of Metal and Soul were an innate talent given to every Weapon. The first of them, Fluffy, was a natural at changing her form. It was she who shed the body of the Snow Wolf in favor of humans.
Fluffy smiled, blood steaming off her knuckles. She let the groaning bodies slump to the floor and began striding toward Elian and Bianca—each sway of her hips punctuated by the echo of whispers.
