The Saviors : Wrath Of The Sabers

The Clan of the Swordsmen.

The successful accomplishment of the first phase of OLR had brought great relief to the family. They were also very worried about Joeret despite the reassurances of Sam. Paul would spend most of his time worried, sitting beside the resting body of Joeret. Paul was genuinely shocked and awed by the healing skills of Sam, despite seeing it several times. Joeret's wound had been stitched neatly and the wound was almost healed within just a week. 

She would occasionally gain consciousness and she and Paul would have a long conversation, before she fell asleep again. Sometimes they would talk about her wound and sometimes they would try to reduce the openings in the strategy for the second phase.  Whenever Joeret opened her eyes, she would be relieved to know that her beloved was sitting next to her bed. Her feelings for Paul got stronger by the day, as she realized how much he cared for her.

"An amazing healer, Sammel," she heard Paul saying one such day.

 It had been ten days and nine nights since she had been injured and her wound was completely healed, leaving behind a scar on her chest. Sam had suggested five days of rest to her, so she might recover the energy her body had used up in the healing process. 

"You will be filled with awe when you learn how amazing he really is," she replied.

 "I suppose you say that because you know more about him than the rest of us. Enlighten me," he said.

Joeret had used her time healing by trying to recall where she had heard the name Ralicana before. The feeling of familiarity had been bothering her ever since Sam had introduced himself, and after recalling her entire life several times, the memory had come back to her.

"I had been wondering for a while why his  name felt familiar. When I first came to Earth, I wandered with Cree and the others, but I used to look around alone whenever we stayed at a certain location. "  she said.

Paul remembered the traveling with everyone, the memories of Creator. It felt strange to him - seeing the world from the eyes of someone else. He had gotten many gifts from Creator passing his abilities to him. He could have used the power of Creation, if he wished, but he never did. He felt as if the powers weren't his own to use.  

He had also received the power of immortality, which he could not control. If he were to receive an injury, his body healed it against his will. Creators memories were the most peculiar. Only the memory of his travels on Earth were clear;most of his memories of mutaforgia were blurred or blackened, as if they had been placed in a locked cabin in his mind. 

"I once heard a rumor about the clan of swordsmen, and as luck was in my favor, ,my very next stop was close to one of the villages of the Ralicana. I wandered to the village alone, and I wasn't welcomed. "  she continued. 

"I was imprisoned and kept in jail for days but after inquiring me and investigating me for days, they found I was of no harm. I was let free and I helped the clan with many things, and I had earned their trust. I was there for no longer than a week, and before I was about to  leave,  the chief of the village had called me to her cabin to properly apologize. "

"I was left alone in her cabin for a short while before she arrived. Curiosity controlled my body and I looked around inside the cabin. It was a rather big cabin, almost like a hall. The walls were painted white and the hall was decorated with many swords. There was a book placed next to some very unique swords and I never could resist a book."

" The book was titled 'History', and as the name suggests, it told of the legendary history of the Ralicana clan. It talks of a man with incredible power with swords. He is said to be the founder of the clan. His skill with swords was said to be beyond imagination. He could slice a mountain in half by just slashing his sword once, and that too when he wasn't at his full power. " 

Paul was now interested and a feeling of curiosity grew inside him. He was also surprised about how Joeret remembered everything so clearly. 

"Sounds like a person I would like to meet," he said, trying to add to the conversation.

Joeret smiled and continued, "The man had a lifespan longer than that of ten humans combined, approximately 1600 years. When he had reached the unbelievable age of a thousand years, he realized it would be useless to let his powers go to waste. As life progressed, he found a woman and he fell for her. After years of pursuing his love, she finally agreed to marry him."

"Even strong men are weak before love," said Paul.

"They lived a happy life and had seven kids, each possessing 1/100th part of their fathers ability. Their mother died as a normal human. She lived a long happy life and died at an age of ninety. The founder continued journeying the world, and it is believed he created life out of nature. He manipulated wind, air and soil to give life to ninety three children, male and female, and gave them a part of his powers each," Joeret continued.

"Each of those children were equally strong, and they each had a unique name. They mated with other humans and soon formed an entire nation of strong swordsmen. The fifth, sixth and seventh generations of Ralicana opened their nation to the world, providing aid in times of war but that tradition was ended by the ninth generation."

"What about the eighth generation?" asked Paul.

"They proposed the idea of ending the tradition, but they couldn't take much action." she informed.

"It is a tradition in the Ralicana that those who are believed to be equally strong as the kids of the founder, are given the names of the children of the founder. They are treated as special warriors, for their abilities are truly exceptional. They are collectively known as the NaWaria. "

"With time, the nation disbanded and the clan traveled across the world, living in villages. Despite them leaving the nation, none of the branches of Ralicana had abandoned the clan name or the traditions." she said.

"Are you trying to say Sam is on of these NaWaria?" asked Paul.

Joeret's expression became strict, "No. Throughout the history of the Ralicana, this has never happened before. No one had been given the name Sammel."

"Why?" asked Paul.

"No one has proven themselves worthy of it. Sammel was the name of the founder of the clan. The ultimate swordsman," she concluded.
