lol I just wanted it to make an impact on the reader. If it was the most precious object that the toads had, i had to make it look like it.OH! I'd forgotten about the Great Sage. This fic makes me excited about the upcoming chapters once again lol.. I had been getting bored with where the series was going. o_o
Story was freaking awesome, except for the golden sword part.. I would have used a different weapon, and I wouldn't have made it golden. In this day and age, we are drifting away from the whole mentality of "super cool and shiny object = uber powerful" ... xD
cheers
