Chapter 2: Pyra's curse.

Let me explain how things work, depending on what land you were born in, you have a weapon or force attached to you, and it becomes part of your soul so, in The Land of Swords, your sword reflects what kind of person you are. But it's also very valuable to a person, we can by swords from a shop, or even hilts, what hilts do, is they change attributes of your sword, like colors or the look, but it can also change the form or power, but the best bet is to always use your original. But our blades, are attached to our beings, so they never break, and they're easy to control and use for their welder.My swords name is

"Gaea!" Terra called out, summoning her sword to her hand.

 The man running at us stopped, oh so your already able to use your blade? That's quite amazing!"

Let me cut in for just a sec before i continue telling the event, I almost forgot to say, just because your bade is easy to use, doesn't mean that every one is skilled.

I just side stepped, and he tripped over his own feet. He got up again, "Damn kid, JUST DIE ALREADY." He started swinging at me, I ducked at his first swing, and rolled out of the way at his second. For about seven minutes this continued with me dodging his swings and stabs, his sword was pretty small, so he was quick. But eventually he tired.

I got up and looked at him," Is that all you got?" I walked slowly towards him trying to taunt him. "Kid, your getting on my nerves!" He got up, but instead of coming at me like I expected, He turned and slashed at Regen, and gave him a pretty nasty cut to his face. It cut upwards at his  eye socket, but it miraculously missed his eye, but it got his cheek and eyebrow. He screamed and fell down, which gave me a chance to get him. I ran forward with my blade, Gaea, ready to swing, but he ever so easily turned around and swung, sending my sword flying from my hand, and it crumbled, returning to my soul. "Kid you've just ran out of luck"

"No, it's you whose ran out of luck!" We all turned around to see a large man walk through the shop door and into the alley way. I guess everyone knew who he was, because Regen, Pyra, and even the man attacking us was wide eyed and speechless. The man attacking us looked around, "It's not what it looks like, I swear!"

It was over in an instant, in a split second the man who came from the shop, ran him through, puncturing his heart, "We don't except criminals of any sort in this city, especially those who hurt our young. He pulled out his sword and the man fell, dead. "DAD!" Regen cried. "It's okay Regen, it's over now."holding Regen in his arms. He turned and faced towards Pyra, "Are you okay Pyra?" He nodded. "Good, and who is this?" He turned towards me, and looked at me for a second," Oh you must be Terra, I'm sorry this had to happen on your first day. I met your father earlier, he'll be at the academy. We'll head there after I check out Regen's eye." He walked over and sat next to him, and hugged his son before proceeding to check out his eye. "It'll be okay, but theres going to be a permanent scar." He lifted Regen on his shoulders and looked at me and Pyra, "Lets get going."

We went through the shop and down market street, market street lead directly to the academy. " Your father should be right outside Terra," when we arrived my father had rushed out instantly "DADDY!" I yelled, giving in to the feeling of the moment. "Thank La Sombra del Día. Are you alright?" he looked at me, than at Pyra and Regen. "Oh no, what happened to that boy?" Regen's dad looked at him, "This boy is my son, thankfully I made it in time." My dad stared into nothing, and now that i'm older I realize that he was probably imagining what the situation would have been like if it had turned out bad. "Wait a minute. How did you know where to find them?"

Regen's dad looked down, and sighed. "It was because of Pyra, that I was able to find them, in fact it's because of Pyra that this entire thing ever happened. But it wasn't his fault."
