Flame watched as he walked off and then let out a long sigh. Crap she thought and took a big breath, then turned to the computer that wanted the information from her. Damnit, why did she gave to give up her ticket? She closed her eyes and brought the awnsers to mind.
12-298-58. Geeze she hopped that was right. She frowned and then awnsered the other questions that were asked her. She winced at the end of every awnser but no alarm sounded.
Finally she was done so she turned and walked to the door, she knocked on the door three times. She glanced back, wondering if maybe she was missing something.

From outside the door, Prosper frowned. Could the young woman have accessed her Account so quickly? Did she not want to sit and think about what she had just received?
Frowning, Prosper opened the door, only to hear the sound of the mechancial arm retrieving the box. He cleared his throat to catch Flame's attention before pointing her towards the conveyer belt that now carried a metal box. He gave a nod and then quickly shut the door.
Strange... he had thought that it was quite apparent that the box would be retrieved within that room. Perhaps he had been uncleared. Either ways, Prosper waited outside more nervous that he might have glossed over the procedure too quickly for Flame to have understood.

Flame's ears flicked as she heard a noise behind her, she turned and walked over to the box. She looked over to the box and walked over slowly. She picked up the box slowly and looked it over. It was big, and long.
Suddenly she remembered the 'key' she got. She pulled the feather out of her pocket and then carefully put it in the special lock. She never seen a lock like that before. The box clicked open and she pulled the key back as she pulled the top all the way open and looked inside.
"A...sword?" she said confused, reaching down to grab the hilt pulling it out, "A rusty sword" she muttered looking closer, her thumb testing the point. It was really dull but still servicable as a weapon.
"Why the hell would my family give me a sword?"

For some reason, the young woman made the manager and guard antsy. They were worried. She appeared to have no clue in what she was suppose to do and they took pride in their company and what they did. Micha, the guard, patted Prosper on the shoulder before shooing him away towards the more comfortable area. Reassuring him that he would open the door for Flame once she gave the signal that she was ready to leave... again.

Flame was confused, she didn't understand what was going on. She looked the sword over carefully, wondering why her family would have an old sword. If it was valuable it would of been kept in better shape, if it wasn't vauluable why did they have it in the first place?
Centuries old...how long had her family been rich? She didn't know that as she rested the blade again. finally she put the sword back in it's box and closed the lid. She pocketed the key and picked up the box, walking to the door.
She knocked the times, and wiated for it to open. "Will anyone awnser my questions about this sword?" she asked the security gaurd when the door did open.

Without a word, Micah pointed Flame in the direction where Prosper sat, waiting for her. He watched the young lady go on as he closed the door and resumed his position.
At the sound of foot falls, the manager stood up and greeted the Owner some what kurtly. Gesturing for Flame to seat, he took one as well and picked up the papers he had with him.
"Are there any questions before I begin or would you like me to start my explaination first?"

"Well I have questions but I think I need to ask my family those questions" she said truthfully as she sat down. She glanced at the sword and then over to Prospher. She took a deep breath.
"Go on with your explication" she finally decied. She wait till he gave his explination and then she could ask more intellgent questions. She ran a hand though her hair, feeling a bit antsy.

Nodding, Prosper began the long process of explaining what details he could to the new Owner. He explained that Past Legacies had a large magical factor to it's operation and how they had sealed the soul of the family legacy into the Heirloom and that it would one day manifest into a child, as well as the Key into an accompanying creature. Prosper explained the importance and value of the Account Record and how it should be kept up to date.
It was a good forty minutes before the manager was able to take a breath and stop. He waited to for any questions that his explaination might have birthed.

Flame became a lot more itnrested when a child was mentioned. A child, someone for her to care for agian? Oh how she missed her little babies. Now a new baby, how wonderful that sounded. She was a bit more friendly when his speach was ended.
"What soul was I given?" she decied to ask, "And why was this given to me? I mean I know you told me that it has to do with my family but..." she tried to think what would not be too presonal for someone who was and would proably remain to be, a stranger.
"My family and I are far from close, I don't know much about their legacy. Why not give it to someone who does?"

"I am bound by a contract created many centuries ago. I cannot give you the information yet and even once I do, I cannot answer all your questions. Take the Key and Heirloom as a clue to your family legacy. You will have to resarch further into your family history yourself for the answers that you seek.
"The answer to your last question is that it is time for the Account to enter the world and so to you it was sent, though if you decide to not keep this Account then we can rearrange things of course."
Prosper watched Flame, waiting to hear what her response would be. He wasn't sure if she wanted the Legacy and Key or not. She had no obligation to accept them, but it was time and if he knew anything it was time.

That was alot of words that told her nothing, Flame noticed.Why were suits good at talking about nothing for a long time? Her father was a master at it. She remembered long lectures that not only taught her nothing but she felt like he was talking in a different language with all the large words. She shook her head.
"No, I want the account, and key" she asured the man. Though if she wanted to know more it meant she was going to do something she pent most of her life trying to avoid. Talking with her father. Well she do it, she was willing to make sacrfices for her children.
"If I take the accoutent will I be called back to here at some later date?" she asked him, "Will I end up signing anything?"

"Yes and yes. There will be the official certificate to sign and then you will be called back at the time of the growths. Not all the growths but at the one's that are necessary. One of them being when the Heirloom manifests itself into a baby.
"Now if you would like to have the papers completed. All I need is the Legacy's name."
He waited with a pen poised over the certificate on the front page of the Record.

Flame sighed, okay signing things, she have to take careful time to read everything over. If she learned anything useful from her upbrining it was to always read over contracts. Don't just sign things, that's how you get most law cases. That or by signing nothing at all. Flame nodded slowly, then blinked.
A name? Right now? Aw crap! she closed her eyes and then looked up, "Is this a guy or girl?" she asked suddenly. A sword, certianly seemed male. She asumed it for now, but if it was a girl? Damnit she hated just having to geuss.
"Julia if it's a girl" Flame suddenly said, "Merric if it's a boy" Merric was a find strong name, and Flame was always fond of the name Julia.

"Merric it is then."
Quickly Prosper wrote the name and signed his own. He then passed the Record and pen over to Flame, indicating for her to sign beside where he had.
"Once you have signed this that will be the end of the transaction. I will contact you when it is time for you to stop by again."

So this was it, Flame mused as she quickly signed her name in unreadable scrawl. She kind of prefered that because then people just tended to call her Flame, as she prefered, for now though she simply stood.
"have a nice day" she said and nodded. She had to get home. She grabbed the box and pocketed the key agian. "I'd shake your hand" she said, "I'm afraid I'll drop Merric. Damn I hope I can fly like this" she muttered to herself and turned to leave. So she had a male...sword.
It's great to have a child again.
