Sir Swift (A Sonic the Hedgehog story)

Chapter 5 - Use The Sword

Edward Spytion's mouth dropped down, exclaiming his surprise to what Swift has accomplished. All the people were left speechless until everyone started cheering, like they were all having the greatest party of their lives to the M.A. Sonic and the mouthy sword.

Meanwhile, at the castle of Galotum the Queen has realised something bothersome."the 6th barer..." Lee-ana stood up from her thrown and called out frustrated, "Someone bring me the Black knight at once!"

Alchemy Village

"You're all leaving your home, but why?" asked Swift with a confused look on his face.

Edward Spytion said. "Nothing against you of course, but we must leave while Queen Lee-ana's Dragon is still unconscious. If it wakes up, then we're in..." Edward stopped talking and just like everyone, mines the ones who weren't Alchemists. halted everything they were doing while whirring faces that said run and scream.

Swift said with a low brow. "The dragon is waking up behind me, isn't it?"

The gray dragon grumbled to life and it started to stand on its legs. When it opened its yellow eyes the dragon spoke groggy voice. "Wh-what has happened? the last thing I remember-"

"Hay! Down here!"

The dragon lowered his head to Swift and said. "who are you, blue Hedgehog... wait, are you the one who freed me?"

Swift replied with his fist on his chest. "My name is Swift, Swift the Hedgehog. And this sword's name is Calasear."

"Calasear? One of the 7 sacred blades but those can only be wielded by...? Wait, you're not a Knight of Order are you?"

Swift reinsured The Dragon"No way big guy, in fact, Calasear and I are going to over throw Queen Lee-ana and after that help get Galotum to the way it once was.

"Swift you say? I am Shrash" the Dragon nod his head to thank Swift before speaking again. "I've seen many things transpired when Lee-ana enslaved my mind. Dragons and Wizards alike being hunted down, families having less to eat and I haven't seen any child play not once."

Calasear said "many things have changed over the generations indeed but not for the better. there is so much to teach my squire, as he is now there is no chance for to go against the more formidable Knights of Order. he won't even last a second when facing Lee-ana herself.

Swift replied with a half low brow. "Did you forget who just turned into a blue tornado-saw blade?"

Daniel Alcken called out to his people, "Everyone, the Dragon is no longer under Queen Lee-ana's spell! We are saved by Sir Swift. The time to celebrate is now!" the rooster claimed so happily.

"But he's not a..." before Calasear could finish his train of thought, the Alchemists of the village grabbed Swift and took him to an oval-shaped house. Where he and Swift would wait for the celebration to begin.

The silence in the rocky room ended when Swift said, "Are you okay Calasear? You seem a bit lost."

"It's just this kingdom used to be so glorious back in the day. All its people were at peace, until Lee-ana waged war. 1300 years later, monster knights now roam the land. Hardly any joy for the children or trust for people, aside from their own kind. Has Galotum fallen so low?"

Swift sighed while lying on the ground, "Aren't you supposed to be Calasear? You did say your name means "wise-steel," so use all that wisdom of yours. But if you want the answer: it's only temporarily for the people and the kingdom.

Calasear felt conflicted, "How can you be so confident that Galotum will go back to the way it was such a long time ago."

"It's simple, my mouthy sword. It's because I have hope; and you to teach me what it means to be a true knight."

Just with those words Calasear smiled and felt now at ease. At night fall, the villagers celebrated in honor of their savior and that a new hope had finally come. Swift attracted a lot of attention for saving Alchemy Village. As for Calasear, he told tales to the children of Alchemy village of what the Knights of Order were like before Queen Lee-ana came to power. Even Edward Spytion was enjoying himself and this was just the beginning of something new. As for the gray dragon Shrash, he flew off back to his home to tell the story of how a hedgehog freed him, expecting to meet Swift again.

The dawn broke out and Swift was packing his bag, getting ready to go meet Nimu.

The M.A. Sonic smiled, "All right our next adventure is waiting for us."

Swift left a note for Amanda Spytion. It thanked her for her hospitality and for letting them sleep there. But if they were to beat Lee-ana, he would have to continue his journey of mastering Calasear's magic and honing his sword skills.

Swift moved at incredible speeds until they came across a foggy forest which Calasear knew very well. "We're here at last, my young knave." Calasear said with relief.

"A foggy forest? Aren't we supposed to get to Nimu as fast as possible?"

Calasear rolled his eyes, "This mist is part of Nimu's defense so that she won't be found. The fog creates terrifying illusions to keep wicked souls out."

A mysterious voice came from the fog, "Walk straight and no harm will come to you, Blue hedgehog."

Swift pointed into the fog. "Okay, who's behind the fog?"

The person that came out from the fog was the M.A. Amy rose a.k.a. Nimu the pink lake spirit. She showed a hand gesture that beckoned them to follow her.

Swift wondered who that girl was, "Okay Calasear, let me guess, that girl in the fancy dress was Nimu right?"

Calasear replied "Indeed, now please follow her, knave."

As Swift walked on, through the mist he found a lake with Nimu standing in the middle of it on the water. It was a bigger shock when Swift realized he was standing on the lake as well.

"W-w-whoa, how is this even possible!? Wait, I just remembered – I can't swim." Swift said with tremble in his voice.

Calasear was surprised. "You don't know how to swim? I did not know that."

Nimu calmly ignored Swift, "Calasear, it's been a while since your last visit here. I'm also aware you brought this handsome hedgehog to train him how to use a sword such as you."

Swift whispered to Calasear, "How in Galotum did she know about that?"

"Personally I'd rather not know how she knows these things. And you should focus on what's going to happen to you if you don't master wind magic properly." Calasear told, first confusingly now playfully. Swift panicked, "What's that supposed to mean?"
