Exion

Chapter Ten

"Blood magic is said to be the most pure form of evil magic that can exist in our world. It can do many things from disturb the dead to summon otherworldly beings. It is forbidden in the mage's circle and it had been for many eras. Eventually it was forgotten and nobody continued it's practices. That was until a rogue mage discovered archives full of dark magic teachings. This mage, known only as Beo, was capable of destroying whole continents with ease. He quickly rose to power worldwide and conquered all. Everyone was enslaved to him, but a young hero set out to end his reign of terror. Nobody knows this hero's true name but he was known as Wolf by the people, due to the way he would take down enemies, ruthlessly killing them with great agility. He set out to end Beo and his tyranny. He went through hardships to reach this enemy but he eventually arrived and faced Beo. Their battle lasted days until both fighters realized they were evenly matched and both launched final attacks which collided and shaped the world we know today... I don't know where I'm going with this story and I kind of forgot some details which I tried replacing but it's really not coming together." Liam commented.

"So this whole story was pointless!?!"

"Hold your horses, I'll try and remember the important part... oh yeah! Beo died during the attack and Wolf survived. Wolf managed to marry and had only one son whom would be the father of the next hero: Cruz."

"Wait, my father is this guy's son? I never even met my parents, let alone knew they were somehow important."

"Yes, it sounds a little made up and quite frankly, boring, but I did forget the awesome tale that went along with it."

"But wait. If the bad guy was dealt with, what's the use of another hero?"

"Oh right! That was the next detail. So Beo left all his work to his apprentice at the time, whom was only a child at the time but Beo sensed amazing power emanating from this child, but once again, it wasn't from them but instead the offspring that they would create."

"Let me guess, this offspring's name is Edrick?"

"Yes actually. You've encountered him before I presume? That's quite interesting. Well, long story short, you both are to fight each other and this doodle signifies your victory, hence the pose with both thumbs up."

A large clock appeared behind Liam and it began ringing.

"Looks like it's time for you to wake up. Do well Cruz, I believe in you! Oh and you're going to need this too."

Liam quickly put his hands on my arms and I felt a sudden surge of energy rush through me. And like that, everything faded to black. When I awoke I was laying on Cyel's lap as she sat down in the meadows.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"Oh you hadn't returned for quite some time, so me and Purrcy went to look for you and there were found you lying on the ground unconscious." Cyel stated. "Oh and you were holding this blade."

I got up and went to grab the sword. This time nothing happened but it still was glowing it's crimson red color but as I held it longer, the red color began turning into a blue color.

"Does that mean the sword is evil no longer? Now it's a good guy!" I joked.

I gave the blade an inspection and compared it to mine to see which one was the better sword. Obviously enough, the glowing one exceeded mine in every aspect. It was made of harder material, it was sharper and lighter. Overall, it had better offensive and even defensive capabilities. I placed my old sword in my back holster and equipped the new one. I could feel it's power even while holstered. This blade is really going to hurt. Good thing it won't be aimed or swung at me.
