Succession

Epilogue

Somewhere in Bern lay a gravestone. There was a circle drawn about the gravestone, with three swords plunged in equidistant to each other, forming an equilateral triangle – there were small tablets in front of each of the swords.

First, there was a Light Brand. Below, the epitaph read the following:

To the rival, I understand.

Turning sixty degrees, there was a very special sword. It was called the Wo Dao.

To the sister, I remember.

Finally, the last sword was remarkably heavy and sharp. Steel blade…

To the student, I forgive.

In the center of the three swords, a large tombstone was filled with miniscule text. However, the essence of the text was this:

These three have done what no other could have. Together they have slain the Sword Demon. All three gave their life to do so and shall be missed. From the demon's ashes awakens a saint – the second coming of the Saint of Swords. He has accepted the line of Succession and now bears one truism – thou shalt not kill…

Fin.
