While Swift and Calasear were dashing through the country they came across two signs pointing in two paths, the one on the right said Boar Mountains & the one on the left said Castle Town.

"So... which way oh wise one?" Swift asked Calasear in a sarcastic tone"

"The Boars don't trust outsiders since Queen Lee-ana came to power. So we'll have to stay at Castle town till we can meet Nimu, the Lake Spirit. And where we shall begin your training my young knave."

The M.A. sonic wondered, "Wait, thee Nimu the lake spirit, the one that helped craft the 7 sacred Blades with King Leo, that Nimu?"

Every child in Galotem and two other kingdoms were told of the legend of King Leo and the ones who helped to forge the sacred blades.

Calasear responded, with his eyes turned to Swift, "Indeed."

Swift took Calasear by the hilt, and ran to Castle town at Wind-like speed until they came to their destination. This had a rather unlikable surprise in store for Calasear.

"What in dragons breath happened here?" Calasear exclaimed in a shocked tone.

"What's wrong, Calasear?"

"The front gate has been... destroyed. But only a dragon or powerful magic can break through Castle Town's mystical walls. Dragons are wild but they never attack good people – only evil. I suspect Queen Lee-ana has done this."

As for Swift, he blurred into the town with Calasear in his right hand without any one seeing him. Then they came across a young blacksmith who is the M.A. Tails, also known as Tailsmith Prowl. "Where did this gust of wind come from!?" Tailsmith shouted while using his arms to cover his eyes. And when he lowered his arms, Tailsmith met Swift on that day.

"Who are you? I never saw you here before." the M.A. Tails asked.

"Who, me I'm... just a traveller from a far away land."

"All right, but wait that sword, May I hold it for a moment sir?"

Swift replied, "Hmmm... sure why not."

Swift lends Calasear to Tailsmith, and the young fox examined him from the tip of the blade straight to the end of the hilt. It felt cold to his fingers. He remarked,

"I have never seen a sword this well crafted except once. Each of the Knights of Order possess one of the 7 sacred blades. Each one of these has their own different magic's. Where in Galotum did you find this, wait...are you a knight?"

"He's but a squire, for now I mean!" Calasear shouted out loud.

"What! A talking..."

Just before Tailsmith finished his sentence, Swift took Tailsmith and Calasear across Castle Town for him to explain some things to the young black smith in a more private location.

"How, when, what!?" the M.A. Tails showed a confused face.

"Easy there, let me explain. First let me tell you my name. I'm called Swift, Swift the Hedgehog."

And after 30 minutes of explaining, Swift got to the end.

The M.A. sonic said with a friendly face, "so that's our story hope you can understand."

"Hmmm, makes sense but where are you two going to stay. If I may ask"

Their faces showed they had no idea where. To slip, eat, or to sharpen Calasear.

"It's my first time out of the Wight Woods so I'm really lost can you help us."

Tailsmith said, with a cheerful face. "Shore you two can come with me, and I'll tack you to the Black Smiths shop."
