[ His eyebrow raises, then he grimaces at the man. Another question, then, to add to the pile: why is this place summoning monsters from Claude's past?
At the question Kahlil follows Claude's gaze to the yasi'halaun's blade. ]
It's from my world, but it's not -
[ but it's not is when the blade seems to spasm in his hand like a living thing, defying physics and reality as it extends further and further out, impaling Nemesis in the shoulder and continuing to grow, reaching through muscle and sinew in Claude's direction. Kahlil instinctively drops the hilt. There's a sickening series of cracks as the blade seems to splinter along its shaft like curling branches, like a rib-cage of a creature the size of a draft horse, then the size of an elephant. What was once a straight blade continues segmenting into a spinal column, and from what was once the hilt ruptures many, many sets of legs. ]

STOP! [ Kahlil shouts as though he has any control over this corruption. The pointed end of the blade, the last remaining piece that still looks anything like a sword, continues toward Claude, stopping right in front of his face. It splits, continuing to defy any sense of reality as it reshapes and grows into the skull of some aquatic predator.
The empty sockets stare down at Claude, pausing for a half second before striking. ]
