The Dragon Blade

Chapter 1x2 - The Beginning

The blade whipped through the air slicing the head of the creature. Blood streamed out and a loud thud was heard as the body fell to the ground on top of Zane. Zane with widened eyes and dry tears stared at a man with long black hair. The man sheathed his katana and took a quick prayer. Emotionless eyes stared directly into the man's eyes. The man bowed down and said with loyalty in his voice
"I'm sorry I didn't get here earlier, kid" 
In no time the man vanished into thin air. Zane's eyes flew through the forest and saw nothing.
"A-a demon slayer?" Zane whispered to himself. Immediately, Zane's eyes widened and his jaw dropped as he realized that that was a demon. Revenge in his eyes, Zane stepped up to the head
"I-I'm sorry..." The demon said with tears running down his cheeks. Zane shouted in sorrow as he kicked the head flying. Panting quicker than ever, Zane fell to his knees with only one goal in his mind.

One month later...

With a droopy body, Zane stepped in the cabin and stared outside the window at his family graves. He stood up straight with widened eyes and shouted
"I can't keep doing this!" Zane packed his bag with food and water. He ran straight into the woods expecting to find something. He slowed down and grunted as he twisted his ankle. He held in his pain and began to jump his way forward. Tears streaming down his face, Zane didn't stop. Zane rubbed his eyes and saw a big cabin in the middle of the woods. Curiosity took over and he stepped up to the door and knocked. Nothing was heard. He sighed and stepped down the doorstep. Just as he began walking a creek was heard and the door was open. An old man with a beard down to his knees stood there. They stared at each other and forced Zane to speak.
"I-I'm Zane" He struggled to say. The old man stared at Zane with emotionless eyes as he slammed the door on his face.
Zane sighed and turned his back to proceed to wander in the woods. Before Zane could move a giggle was heard coming from the trees. A young and pale girl was sitting on the trees with a knife that she licked. Zane trembled as he stared at the pale girl with blood around her eyes. She cut her tongue and immediately she disappeared. Zane felt a breeze on his neck and quickly realized it was her breathing. He closed his eyes with shaking legs. The sound from an unsheathed sword was heard and blood splattered in front of Zane. His whole body trembled as he turned his head staring at the girl's head on the ground. Zane looked up as he saw the old man from before looking down at him.
Zane formed a smile on his face and put his fist on the air. With a childish voice, Zane shouted
"That was amazing, old man!" 

The old man scoffed as he sheathed his katana. He walked up to his doorsteps and Zane immediately shouted with pride in his voice
"Please train me!". Zane bowed with determination in his eyes. The old man stood still and said 
"You are too young" Zane fell to his knees and sorrow covered his face.
"Please..." Zane said almost bursting into tears. The old man stared at Zane and rubbed his forehead.
"If you can't complete the first day, you're out," The old man said. Zane burst into tears and ran up to the old man trying to hug his leg. The old man sighed as he stopped him with his hand. 
"Get some sleep, we begin tomorrow morning," He said as he stared into Zane's eyes. Zane jumped up and down as he went to bed.
"What am I doing..." The old man spoke to himself.
