Ewwo! Just here to say a few things before we really get started. This is actually NOT a fanfiction story thing. It is my own original idea but I had to choose a series or something so I chose one that sounded closely related to my story. Second...that's it XD Well, let's do this!

Shadow's P.O.V

I stared at the sword in my hand. It's blade caught the small sunlight that snuck through cracks in the walls and windows. The room was dark and filled with swords. All the blacksmith tools were in a corner and all the swords hanging on the walls neatly. My sword was in my hand but the other was in it's case, strapped to my back.

I took in a deep breath before beginning. The sword sliced through the air swiftly and I spread my feet apart. I spun in a circle, drawing the blade close to me as a defensive position and the jabbed it forwards sharply. I held the sword out, battling with my imaginary enemy.

I imagined the enemy try to strike my legs and jumped in the air, landing on the ground softly and gracefully. I dodged to the side and swung at the invisible, nonexistent enemy. I pictured the enemy moving swiftly around me and immediately, I swung my sword towards the ground, spinning around. My sword hit another, creating a loud clang. I gazed at the owner of the other sword.

"Careful there, Carmen." David Sparrow laughed. He was my mentor, the blacksmith. He didn't mentor me in swordfighting though.

"I'll be careful. It's not like I'll kill someone with Hellfire." I said. David laughed.

"Is Hellfire the name of your sword?" He asked. I nodded.

"Hellfire and ForgetMeNot." I explained. David smiled at me.

"You know, you're sixteen and I've been thinking a lot about what I could do for you since it's our ninth year as mentor and , I decided on something." With a huge grin, David reached in his satchel after setting down his sword. He took out a pale cloth that looked like it was wrapped around something. I stared at the cloth as he handed it to me.

"What is it?" I asked, gazing at the cloth.

"See for yourself." David said. I unwrapped the cloth to reveal the shining blade of a dagger. I gasped, running my fingers down the black and silver handle.

"Whoa! It's amazing! I'll call it...Little Prick." I exclaimed. I smiled at David. He smiled back.

"I knew you would like it." He said. "Now come on, let's go take a walk. We can talk along the way about your apprenticeship."
