2nd Sword | Demon Eater

Drip...

Drip...

Drip...

The sound of water constantly hitting against a smooth surface repeated smoothly, yet surely.

Though the place was so dark one would barely be able to see five meters infront of them, a boy was currently laying there upon the small pond, his breathing soft as he slept peacefully.

However, he would have to awaken sometime.

"Nggghhh...where am I?" (Y/N) rubbed his head as he sat up, keeping one hand clenched on the dark blue katana beside him.

"Last I remember...I was fighting that demon. I used some sort of technique...what was that? How did I even know how to use it...?" (Y/N) groaned, rubbing the back of his head in an attempt to soothe the incoming headache.

Looking around, (Y/N) first realized he couldn't see very far, sighing and turning his eyes towards the katana in his hands.

"This blade...it's my way to get out of here! From what I can remember- I did something strange using it. However, I could easily tell whatever I did was powerful- so I need to master this power." (Y/N) muttered as he looked at the glowing blade, standing out in the dark abyss.

"It's really dark here though...where did I go exactly?" (Y/N) shuffled to his feet, before stomping slightly on the ground, trying to gain a rough look of his location. And from the sounds that traveled and returned, (Y/N) assumed he was in an open area.

"Then there's this..." (Y/N) glanced at the waterfall behind him, it being the reason why he hadn't died from the fall.

"No use in staying here, anyway...I need to figure out just where I am exactly." (Y/N) narrowed his eyes before taking a guarded stance, slowly moving forward. His left hand rested on the sheath of his katana, meanwhile his right hand rested on its hilt, prepared to brandish it at any moment.

Tap...

Tap...

Tap...

(Y/N) felt a bead of sweat roll down the side of his head as, unconsciously tightening his grip on the hilt of the katana at his side. His light footsteps were all that he could hear in the darkness.

"It's so quiet here...the sound from the waterfall has become so faint all I can hear is my own footsteps and breathing..." (Y/N) thought as his icy blue eyes darted around, hoping to catch a trace of anything within the darkness. Of course, that was quite hard as the darkness took most of his view. He didn't use his sword as a source of light due to attracting unwanted attention. Firstly- if this place was connected to where that other demon was, then it was likely there were other demons here.

If they were to ambush him, he would most likely perish before he could even react.

Secondly- considering how dark this place was, his sword would make him a beacon to any attacks if light suddenly appeared in this place where darkness reigned.

"It doesn't help that everywhere I look it seems like the shadows are moving...wait, shadows?" (Y/N) thought, before he swiftly drew his sword.
