The ride outside the mountain was only a few hours and as soon as she made it out she opened a map where a black line showed her the way to where a red "X" was marked and by the looks of it the terrain was merely safe as long as she kept to the path

"Well" Kenzy mumbled as the morning mist seeped into her skin and the cold was settling about her

"Might as well start off" and with the click of her tongue Spade headed East towards the home of Farmer Steve the friend of her Father who started the revolution of Mianite

Speaking of Kenzy's Father...he was at the time of forging the black metal that he had gotten at the black market with Steve and had just finished shaping the word that was as wide as a tree trunk that went straight to a point and had a strange creature with fangs that looked like Kenzy's and had emeralds built into it for it's eyes that reflected back just like... he shook his head while praying she was far away for the carnage that The Lady Ianite had informed him about last week as well as the commission for this sword for his daughter even now with Mianite's army just a few miles away he still forged until it was shaped and the handle bound in purple leather that fit to her approval which echoed in his mind before he did what he had to do next

"By the balance of Justice that is swift and harsh let this sacrifice let not be in vain" he spoke with words dripping with magic and than turned the point towards his heart and as the shouts of attackers filled the village and the skies blazed with fire as he took a deep breath "and with this final and true act of love let this blade become infused with the blood of a Demi-Gods caretaker" and with that he took the blade within his heart and let the blood run down the engravings giving it the one power that can overlook anything...love

After taking the final piece of her armor off of her body Kenzy looked into the fire as she laid back on the soft ground underneath a blanket and her black cloak man blanket it was old but trustworthy and that was always in her saddle all ready to go for whenever her Father...by the Gods she already missed him but she would be able to come back she then looked upon the sky and saw the bright stars she always saw and felt a pang in her chest and a feeling of guilt came over her

"What if everything went away Father and you truly went away who would I go home to feel the love from and be side by side with?" it was a question she asked as the years went by and as she became stronger she noticed her Father become slightly weak in both mind and body for he didn't do as much work in the forge as he usually did from the time she was littler Kenzy sighed she couldn't worry about him he would look after himself and she would come home to him knowing she got the job done yeah she would get it done she told herself as she closed her eyes and letting sleep overtake her

"This is all that's left of everything?" Mianite said as he walked among the rebellion camp hidden deep within the mountain and looked upon the ash and dead bodies that was scattered about

"of course sir Lieutenant Al said proudly for his men had done their jobs

"What about the leader the one who hid as a blacksmith with the woman?" there was something interesting about the woman as if the magic about her was huge yet she never used it or if she even could

"The body got burnt he had died of an sword injury and fell into the forges fire" Manite nodded looking about the cavern knowing it was his brother who built this place for their sister's followers the last of them he hoped and with that he turned

"Let us leave" Mianite said with a smirk thinking the woman had died in the attack as well but little did he know she was miles away sleeping under the stars and under a certain person's watchful eye

Kenzy awoke that morning to see her fire out and the morning sun rising on the horizon knowing she still had a long way to go she got up and put her armor back on the metal cold against her forearms and her head

"Man Spade this is so weird without anyone about" she said softly to her horse that was close by eating grass

"So so weird" because usually on trips with her horse she was with other people who always had food prepared by the time she was up and everything was packed up as well making things easy when the sun touched the horizon but she had food and with a reattachment of the cloak and her blanket retired to her saddle she remounted Spade and rechecked her map which was showing she was close

"By the end of this afternoon we should be at this Farmer Steve's Spade" this caused the horse to huff as she put it away in a saddlebag and grabbed his reins

"Better get going Spade otherwise it'll be a longer trip than it will seem" and with that Spade dashed away leaving nothing but a dwindling smoke column rise into the sky
