The Demon Queen's Knight Vol.2

The voice

As Aber and Aloandra enter the room where Aber heard the voice... And it seems the thing that roared didn't see them

"Alright, this place seems safe" said Aber

Aloandra sat down onto the ground "we need to find the exit.. this place is too dangerous"

Aber looked at aloandra..he know that this is his fault, if he didn't follow that voice they wouldn't be here. And at that moment he realize that the voice that he follows first is the same voice that call him into this part of the cavern  

The young drunitian would look around the place to see who is calling him it's when he heard it again

"Over here"

Aber and aloandra look into the dark corner to see someone wearing tattered black robes, old and wrinkly hand holding onto a wooden staff base to his voice.. this is a old man

"Welcome to the abyss young one"

"Who are you? And why are you calling for me?" Aber asked the old man

"I am someone without name... I am the keeper of this part of the abyss..waiting for the chosen"

"The chosen?" Aber ask

"Yes..the chosen..the one that will be the wielder of this sword, now young man, can you pull it out from its restraints?"

He would step away and reveal the word tied up by chains behind him

"I have been waiting for someone...it's is my duty..and you..you can hear my voice young man..you may be worthy"

"This is very suspicious if you ask me, what if that sword is cursed!?"Aloandra spoke "that would be a big problem Aber"

Aber looks at the sword "don't worry...I don't think he's lying..."

"Aber!.." knowing that she can't stop him "fine..but let go of it when you feel something wrong alright?"

Aber nods before walking towards the sword, he can already feel power flowing through the blades of the sword..but he doesn't know what it is

As aber hold onto the the sword's handl then and a sudden burst of mana suddenly blows like a wind enough to push Aber away

"Stop it Aber! That's too dangerous-" aloandra was about to pull Aber away but she was stopped by the old man, blocking her way with his staff

"Wait young lady...trust him" the old man said

The old man was right, the sudden burst of magic didn't move Aber a bit as he pulls the sword snapping the chains holding it in place

"I..I did it.." Aber look at the sword..a pure silver sword... The edges are that of color red...

Aloandra approaches Aber "are you alright!?"

Aber looked at aloandra and nods "I don't feel anything..."

"Congratulations..young man" the old man claps "you are now the wielder of the sword... That sword doesn't have a name..but perhaps you can give it one"

Aber took a glance at the sword again "crimson edge..yes, I'll call it that"

"Really? That's the best you can think of?" Aloandra said with a smile

"Well...yeah"

The old man smiles "well then young man..I will live that sword to you" and then he disappears..he slowly fades away

Aloandra's eyes widen "w-wah- is that old man a ghost!?"

"I don't know either..but we need to get out of here!"

As the two walk outside...the thing chasing them is finally gone and so they located the exit..and they would see a staircase going up

But then...the thing that they heard last time is blocking the way...
