Offspring of Nowhere (Centaurworld Fanfic)

Chapter 10: The Sword

Keres watches from the clouds as the family was walking in the rift and she growls, "So...the Nowhere King has a family? Would be a shame if something happened to his precious children." She watches as they walk on the rift, and she flies down, wearing her hood and she follows them from afar, spying on them. She watches as Elk picks up the twins and carries them, and he chuckles and Keres slowly gets closer to hear their conversation. Elk smiles at his children and he stretches, "So what should we do now?" Adalie shrugs, "I don't know. What about you two?" She ruffles Divoky's hair and he giggles, and Aldara gently grips Elk's vest, "What is there to do?" She looks up at her dad and he smiles, "Well, not much except looking around, or seeing what's being sold."

Keres watches and she almost got too close, and Divoky looks at her, "Hello there!" She freezes and Elk and Adalie turn around and look at her. She hides her face and coughs, making it sound raspy, "My bad. Just...trying to get through." They let her pass and Keres quickly walks, looking at the ground and Elk speaks, "Do you need any help ma'am?" "No!" She clears her throat, "No, no thank you. I can manage." She continues walking, avoiding eye contact and Elk looks at Adalie, "What was that all about?" She shrugs and they continue walking and Keres sighs in relief, "That was close. Way too close." She continues and flies onto a roof of a booth, and watches around her then hears a noise.

She looks and sees a crow flying to her with a note in its beak and she takes it out and reads it. 

"It's ready. Meet me at the lake in the human world"

She sighs and quickly climbs down and heads back to the portal without being spotted. The crow follows her and she sneaks inside the portal and gets out into the human world and she runs to the lake. The blacksmith was there, waiting with something wrapped inside a cloth and he sees her and stands up, "There you are. I thought you weren't going to make it." Keres takes off her hood and sighs, "So, where is it?" He unwraps the cloth and there was the sword in hiss hands and she looks at him, "That looks like an ordinary sword." He smirks and holds it in his hand, and a green spark appears and the blade now illuminated a green flame, fire around the blades. Keres looks at it in amazement, "Wow you weren't kidding." He chuckles and hands it to her, "Be careful, this thing is very powerful.

Keres holds it in her hands, the soft vibration of the magic within the blade and felt the soft heat of the flames near her face. She swings it around a bit and chuckles, "Oh this looks like it can cause damage." The blacksmith takes it, "Watch this." He swings it at the tree near them and stabs it through the bark, and the blade wasn't chipped or bent, and the tree's bark was burnt. Keres's eyes lit up, "He'll feel so much pain." The blacksmith nods, "Indeed he will. He will feel his insides burn him from the inside out. It won't take him long to die." She chuckles as she sits on the grass, looking at the blade, "I even found out that he has a family."

The blacksmith looks at her, "As in...children?" She nods and he looks away, "It's been that long eh?" Keres sighs, "Indeed it has been that long...and it's been that long since I've been without my friends who were like my other family..." She touches the blade gently and the blacksmith looks at her in silence, and he opens his mouth to speak but hears voices in the distance, "We should go." She gets up quickly and follows him away from the lake and they go to Keres's camp and rest there. Keres looks at the blade more and chuckles, "I think I know a way to lure him to me. But I need some extra hands in order to do so. I'm sure I have a few of my army that survived, I just gotta get them back, then we can get the plan to be put to action."
