"The Hero Makes the Blade" is a tale of courage, tradition, and transformation. It follows Alia, a young girl from the village of Eldoria, who dreams of becoming a soldier in a world where such aspirations are forbidden for girls. Despite the restrictions placed upon her by tradition, Alia's spirit remains unbound, and she practices combat in secret with a wooden dagger gifted by her father.

When a fearsome dragon attacks Eldoria, destroying the king's army and threatening the villagers, Alia seizes the opportunity to fulfill her destiny. With her wooden dagger in hand, she ventures into the forest, seeking the means to forge a weapon of true heroism. Guided by the whispers of the forest and the spirits of old, Alia's wooden dagger is transformed into the Blade of Eldoria, a symbol of pure courage.

In a climactic battle, Alia faces the dragon with nothing but her wooden dagger, now known as The Dragon's Bane. Through her wit and bravery, she exploits the dragon's weaknesses and ultimately defeats the beast, saving her village and earning the respect and admiration of all.

Alia's victory leads to her recognition as the Hero of Eldoria, and she is honored with the title of Knight. Her story becomes a legend, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of societal expectations, and her wooden dagger, The Dragon's Bane, stands as a testament to her bravery.

Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)

The Sword's Song by -Nynaeve

ONC#2019 Long List The legends spoke of it, the myths whispered of it too; tales of a sword, forged in hope and wrought in despair, drawn out in light and quenched in darkness, made by a simple blacksmith, yet a blade so powerful that it could even destroy the Gods. It is believed that the swordsman worthy of lifting this sword was a true warrior, one who would be rendered invincible. And those who survived the battles fought alongside this warrior, swore that they could hear the blade sing. It was during the darkest battles, where the very existence of the world was threatened, that the blade would find its blade master, the warrior who would need it to fight the battle, to hope for a chance at victory. At least that is what was believed, for no battle seemed dire enough to have the blade appear in the last four thousand years. Four thousand, one hundred and sixty five years after the last recorded tale of the battle,where the blade had appeared, sixteen year old Aindri, much to her shock and delight, discovers that the legends are true and the myths are facts. But then what the myths guarded was a fearsome secret; for the sword to be rendered powerful, it needed a sacrifice, a price to be paid, willingly... Completed.

Good and evil are not so easily told apart, not everyone is to be trusted, friends can die and a happy ending is all but guaranteed. Will Velvet be able to find her place in such a world? Can she become the hero she admired in her storybooks and pass on her knowledge of magic to others as she always wanted?
