Saying goodbye to the Girls, and Kunou, it was time to say my farwells to one last person.
I stared into her warm eyes, that look reserved for me and me alone.
"I have heard what you are doing. You will embark on a seemingly dangerous endeavor." Meridia greeted me with a slight displeased tone.
"That's debatable. I'm just investigating something for Gramps. He only mentioned some interesting facilities involved that I would enjoy researching at. Thought it would be a good break from the normal nonsense that's been popping up."
She pursed her lips as if not believing me. "I do not enjoy this feeling of uncertainty."
"For someone like you, it's just a single blink of an eye, and i'll be right back like nothing happened." I reassured her with a little smile.
She stared at me and blinked, slowly. "It appears you are correct. Good, now you may stay until I allow you to leave."
I could not resist the amount of cuteness he was giving up as i walked forward, wrapping her up in a tight hug. "It's not like you can't contact me. I'll be sure to check in with you, give you an update, how about that?"
"Hmph. It will suffice, i suppose." She said quietly. "....I will keep an eye on your other paramours, so you need not worry."
"I know you will." I kissed her forehead. "I love you."
"And I you, my foolish man." She let out a sigh, laying her head against my chest. Her hand slowly went to mine, more specifically, she touched the Ring of my finger, reaching into it. Dawnbreaker appeared for a moment, then disappeared another.
"....Are you telling me i'm not allowed it back until I return?" I chuckled.
"Don't be ridiculous." She huffed, pouting cutely. "I.....believe it is time I enhance it. I will not have my sword fall short of your others. I never intended it to be more than a weapon to bestow upon my mortal champion, thus I never considered powering it beyond mortal limitations until now. I will make it into what you call a Divine Construct. A fitting term for the weapon I shall bestow upon you." She said rather proudly.
"Are you going to reforge it?" I questioned, interesting in the process. "And how does that work? Is it made of a tangible material, or was it crafted from your essence?"
"I used a spark of my Light originally, dulled and darkened to what the standards of mortals may consider to be excellent in comparison. Now, it accompanies my true form, incubating in my primordial light."
"....so it's inside you right now."
"......must you make everything sound lewd?" She blushed a little. "Here is my Sword. It will not lose to any other weapons you acquire from now on."
I kissed her nose as she huffed again, taking it with glee. "Thank you, really."
Just holding it, I could that the sword was significantly stronger than before. I had to be more careful when using it for now on.
"I decided to copy that Noble Phantasm of yours. Call its true name and you shall deliver a cleansing light unlike what was previously possible."
"Were you jealous of Excalibur?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I am not jealous!" She quickly tried to deny, but I saw through her charade.
"Thank you, again." I admired my new sword once more before putting it away. "I'll put it to good use."
"Good. See that you do." She sniffed. "I expect you to return without problems now that I have bestowed upon you such a wonderous merit. You may thank me by continuing to annoy me for many years to come."

Someone made me realize on Discord that I completely forgot about doing this before setting out to FGO. So, here we are, a small retcon of Meridia upgrading Dawnbreaker.
