Aether, sometimes referred to as the "sword of time", is a silvery metal hook wielded by Marethyu in place of his left hand. It was created by merging the Four Swords of Power on the Pyramid of the Sun in Danu Talis in The Enchantress. Aether is an incredibly powerful catalyst of Elemental magic.

Appearances & Significance[]

The Enchantress[]

In The Enchantress, Josh Newman is left behind at the Pyramid of the Sun to complete the prophecy. He combines Clarent, Joyeuse, Durendal, and Excalibur into Aether and destroys Danu Talis in order to fulfill the prophecy.

In doing so, he becomes Marethyu, or Death in the language of Danu Talis.

Apart from The Enchantress, Aether makes only minor appearances.

Curiously, although stated that only 'two that are one', after learning all Five Elemental Magics can unite Four Swords into Aether, it was Josh alone that united them. This could be a goof due to Josh not mastering Earth and Aether Magic. This could also be metaphorical, since Clarent and Excalibur are, in fact, 'two that are one'. It is possible that in process of fusing swords, Excalibur and Clarent('two that are one') fused first, thus allowing Joyeuse and Durendal to fuse along for the first time ever. This also explains why Air Sword and Earth Sword never fused together, although they stood near each-other for years. Or the 'two that are one and the one that is all' could be considered to be just the Sword of Aether, because it is the combination of all magical elements that would mean that it is its own twin, and since Aether is the combination of all the magical elements which make up the world, that could make the Sword of Aether the 'one that is all'

Powers & Abilities[]

So far we only know a few powers and abilities:

  • Leygate Creation - The Hook is capable of creating leygates.
  • Elemental Magic - The Hook gives the user the ability to control all five elements to an extremely high and powerful level.
  • Immortality - The Hook grants immortality, as shown by Marethyu living for many millennia.
  • Shadowrealm Creation - Marethyu demonstrated the ability to create Shadowrealms using the Hook, creating the Pleistocene Era Shadowrealm.
  • Knowledge - When Marethyu first created the Hook, it was described as gaining hundreds of millennia of learning and history in a short space of time.
  • Invulnerability - The Hook grants the wielder invulnerability. This was shown when Marethyu was struck with a powerful energy blast from a vimana, but was not injured and only knocked unconscious.
  • Alchemy (Possibly) - In the Pleistocene Shadowrealm, Marethyu was able to transform Palamedes's sword into a length of wood without effort.
