Yet again I wondered and found the abandoned area. This was really it. I walked in and something caught my eye. Now I see what lie ahead of me in this sanctum. A sword, a blade with a black hilt stuck into the very ground, deep in to the ground.. Designed with spikes coming out of the sides looking like wings but all pointing down, with the direction of the bland and at the very bottom of the handle something caught my attention. It couldn't be, could it? The Wolf insignia of my family. ReichDerWolfe's family insignia on a blade in the middle of the Forbidden Forest. Why? This made no sense. This blade looks like it had to be formed by giants. it was massive with a long hilt that looked as if it could fit my hand. I approached it ever so slowly. I grabbed the handle of the sword and the spikes opened outward on each site of the handle and then wind hurled around me like a rapid tornado. My long coat that I wore since the day I left ReichDerWolfe flapped wickedly and my long hair blew all around and I felt this energy enter me. A power I've never felt before.

"AH!" I yelled as the hurricane flew around my body. I grabbed the hilt with two and tugged up as hard as I could. After ripping this beast out of the ground I flew backward landing on my back with it in my very hand. I stood up after the giant shock and even with the sword being almost 5'10 altogether, almost as tall as me. It was light, it had some weight but barely anything. looked down at the wolfs eyes as they shined green on the handle now. The isignia's eye's sparkled like bright green flames bursting. A green emerald now also shined in the middle of the spikes on both side of the hilt. I wanted to test this sword out. So I took it by one hand and swung it and effortlessly cut the tree. Barely any power behind it and a 15 inch tree sliced right into two. I sheathed the sword but noticed something when I did. The spikes curled around the emerald and the insignia's eyes no longer shined. Confused I reached for the blade again and I grabbed the hilt and the spikes unravelled and everything had a glow again. 

"So it's by the contact of my hand. That activates the sword, how interesting. That energy it surged into me, what was it?" I pondered this with blade in my hand. I could feel a new essence flowing through me but had no idea what it was or even how to acknowledge it. I started spinning the blade between my fingers above my head and just admired it for a second but when I realized what I was doing the blade was spinning so fast it wasn't even spinning in my fingers anymore but viciously whirling on my palm. So fast the tree's whipped away from me. Is this what the sword injected into my body? The power to wield it? But this wouldn't make sense......would it? I spun in back into the strap on my back and the spikes curled around the emerald again the the glow doused out. I just walked out and back to where I would ponder on this new found weapon.
