Chapter 10: The Star Blade

The First Year, October

Lonliness... something Kaylie thought that she would never experience again when she met Kvar. Of course she didn't trust him but he had seemed friendly enough at first. She guessed that was what her mother meant by never talk to strangers even if they seem nice. Not only was Kvar a total stranger but he had seemed nice from her stand point. At least until he started doing terrible things right before her eyes. She still harboured some guilt deep within her soul. She sorely missed Anna and Kratos. It'd almost been a year since she'd last seen them. Well, more like she lost them or at least Kratos. She knew that if she hadn't made the stupid mistake of revealing where they were to Kvar or if she had just stopped working with him althogether, she knew that she'd still be with them. She found it quite difficult to take the punishment herself.

Although she wasn't completely alone. Her great white elven bird, Procone, was always by her side. The bird had been with ehr since her mother, a full elf, had given it to her. She still remembered the story her mother had told her about the guardian of all races and about the many animals the elves kept in touch with. She smiled into the sweet forest air near Iselia. She was staying with a dwarf named Dirk for the moment. She'd be leaving in about a week to go Palmacosta and distract Magnius.

Her job was actually quite simple. All she had to do was make some flashy attacks on Desians then run and go into another area that would seem like a good place to hide for awhile. She had just recently severly disrupted Forcystus' ranch so she needed to move on and fast but not before them finding out that she wasn't from Iselia. None of the villagers had seen her when she flew over the little town on Procone so none of them knew of her. She knew that the Desians weren't so heartless as to take out a tiny little village that had nothing to do with the assult.

She suddenly laughed to herself as she remembered what she did. The ranch, because it was new, had the poorest security. She had snuck in over the main gates by jumping a few cliffs then attack and killed the only guard out watching the hostages push rocks. She had released the hostages outside and carried them all to Dirk's. He had already agreed to help out since he was the only dwarf on the face of all of Sylvarant that was reachable. He helped the ex-hostages with the Key Crests for their exspheres and those that wished to help fight kept them on and those that wanted to be rid of the demonic jewels took them off. Later, Kaylie and a few of the hostages assulted the ranch. They came pretty much tore the place apart setting free every hostage they could find in the building. They ran for it when Forcystus showed up and Kaylie only ended up with a minor injury.

Later that same day, she helped carry a few people to the cities that they wanted to go to. It took her about two weeks to get everyone where they wanted. She surprised when she heard that some people had wanted to go to Luin. Even after she told them of its ruin they still pleaded with her to go and so she took them. The longest ride she found, were the passengers wanting to go to Hima. She had no idea what they wanted to do there but it was none of her business and so she left them.

She sat on a log just outside out of the dwarf's house when she saw heard shouts and screams coming from Iselia. It sounded like major choas to her as she stood and shouted to Dirk that she was going to go into Iselia. As she walked into the little village she gasped. The Desians were heartless after all. They invaded the little village just to find her. Now she was angry. She walked straight up to a Desian and poked his shoulder. When he turned to see who it was he shouted a warning just before Kaylie punched him, knocking him out cold. She didn't move after that. She could feel all of the weapons from the Desians being aimed at her. Now she was in trouble.

--------------------------------------

The First Year, December

Desians and the Renegades... Anna was never able to tell the difference. Kratos had said that there were no Desians in Tethe'alla at the moment but the Renegades who resembled the Desians most likely were. Anna had no idea why the Renegades would come after them now but they were here and so she swung her sword in an attempt to block as one them thrust their sword at her.

She was using the Star Blade that Kratos had given her for her birthday for the first time. She absolutely loved the sword. She had never felt so aline in battle before. Normally she would struggle to even keep up with her opponents but now she was finding it easy. She killed the one she was fighting and began to fight another one using a crossbow. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, Anna thought as the cut right through the bow. The Renegade ran for his life.

Anna was eight months pregnant and even in ht midst of battle she was excited. Kratos and her hadn't decided on a name yet but they were planning to... eventually. She visited a doctor in Flanoir and found that they were having a boy. She smiled as she remembered that. She was so happy that on the way back to their house she telling Kratos everything that he could teach him.

Anna suddenly stopped what she doing. The baby kicked. She felt it for sure. She turned to see how Kratos was doing forgetting completely about her opponent. The Renegade's blade came down just as Anna looked back but she was defenseless.

That's when it happened. She heard a slight tinkle like a tinkle of bells and the sword moved to block on it's own as she and the Renegade stared at the vibrating sword in wonder, fear and confusion. The Renegade attacked again the sword blocked on its own then suddenly swung itelf into the Renegades chest. Anna felt the baby kick again but at the same time the blade tinkled but continued to vibrate. It suddenly twisted her around to block an attack from someone behind. The sword battled on its own as it merely pulled her hand and arm where it wanted to go. She noticed Kratos look back at her as the blade swung itself where it wanted to go and she merely shrugged in confusion as the vibrating sword killed another Renegade. Once the battle was finished, the blade stopped vibrating and tinkling all together.

"Anna, that was incredible! When did you improve so much?" Kratos asked his wife as they headed back to Flanoir.

"I swear, Kratos, that wasn't me fighting back there. There is something strange about this sword. When the baby kicked the blade tinkled and then started vibrating and all of a sudden it's fighting on its own!" Kratos gaped at Anna and put out his hand for the sword and Anna gave it to him He swung the sword once, not feeling anything when Anna felt the baby kick again. The sword tinkled and began vibrating again. Kratos felt his being swung in all direction suddenly with grace and power. The virbrating stopped when Kratos put two hands on the blade.

"There appears to be some type of magic in it," Kratos replied once they had walked through the entrance to Flanoir.

"Magic? But why would there be magic in it? Wasn't the customizer who made this human?" Kratos thought for a moment. Then sighed. Why hadn't he noticed this before?

"He knew about the Flamberge. Extremely few humans know about this blade and I do believe that nearly all are in Tethe'alla not Sylvarant. He was either an elf or a half-elf. He must have put the magic in it himself."

"Well is there anyway to stop it? I mean that it can get kind of annoying when the Star blade tinkles and then vibrates everytime the baby kicks."

"You mean that's what made it start?"

"Well so far it seems so." Kratos was deep in thought until walked into their home and Anna went to sleep. Kratos knew she was tired especially fighting wen she was eight months pregnant. What worried him was the sword. What purpose was the magic in that sword?

---------------------------------------

The Second Year, January

The customizer fell back in his chair in Izoold. He still made swords but no longer for others. He made them just for show. After he had lost his prized magic sword to that strange mercenary he had given sword making for his inspiration was no longer there. He had also been recieving strange visitors to his new home. A few Desians came in asking if he still had that sword and when he told them that someone had taken it from him they simply left without causing any damage at all.

Someone knocked at his door and he got up to open it. Someone shoved him aside and walked in themselves. He considered that rude but decided not to say anything about it. He looked to the person who had walked in. He had blue hair in a ponytail and wore a cape. Whoa, this was definetly weird.

"What do want?" The former customizer asked.

"I want to know what type of magic you put in that sword of yours. Someone had it and used it to kill some of my troops. The survivng troops say that it had began tinkling and vibrating while a pregnant women was using it." The customizer laughed.

"If she was pregnant then of course it would do that! I made sure that the blade had a respect for young life so that when it killed, it would kill only to protect the youngest life. So if that women was pregnant and the baby kicks, the baby's presence would be made to the sword and the sword would take complete control over the fight."

"But if she wasn't pregnant?"

"Then the blade wouldn't react to anything and she would simply be in control of the entire battle."

"I see. What else would the blade react to?"

"Ah many things concerning the child I would guess. It can react to words, movements and even names." The blue haired half-elf thought for a moment before turning towards the door and leaving.

"I thank you for your time. I assure you that I or anyone else from my base shall be disrupting you anymore," he said before closing the door behind him and leaving a very confused half-elf inside to star at the door.

"Well, I'll be..." he whispered to himself as he sat back in his couch.

--------------------------------------

Kratos paced back and forth. Anna was with the doctor in labour and what could he do? Absolutely nothing but panic as Anna went in and out of consciousness. He couldn't hear any noise for the walls were sound proof. He thanked the doctor for that. He would have been even more worried about Anna if he could hear her. While he was in this distressed mood he heard someone walk down the hallway and began to clap. He looked up to see Yuan, smiling at him. Kratos glared back.

"What are you doing here?" Kratos asked.

"I merely came to see how you were faring and also to report some findings about that Star blade. You know the one you gave to Anna?"

"Well what did you find?"

"Well it turns out that the sword's magic forces the sword to have a respect for young life. So because Anna was pregnant at the time you were fighting with the Renegades the unborn babe was the youngest life there. Once the baby's presence was made known to the sword it reacted and the magic tried to defend the baby. Basically, the baby saved Anna's life."

"I see..."

"There's more. The blade can react to anything as well concerning that son of yours. So it may even be helpful when choosing a name since you haven't thought of one yet. Also, that blade will be intent on keeping your son safe from harm. That would also mean making sure that you and Anna are safe since you two are the only ones who can nurture him. The sword can only merely protect him from the physical dangers in the world. Hey, let me see that sword for a minute." Kratos unsheathed the blade and handed it to Yuan. Yuan took the hilt but the moment he Kratos let go of the sword he knew that he was in more a little bit of pain. He shouted out in pain as the blade shocked him and he dropped it suddenly. Kratos took the blade and looked at Yuan's hand.

"Hmm strange. The sword has never done that before." Yuan took his hand back and turned to leave.

"Remember, Kratos, magic never lies," Yuan said as he left leaving Kratos slightly confused. The doctor came out soon afterwards letting Kratos to come in and see Anna. Anna smiled at him as he walked in. He sat next to her as she passed the little bundle to him.

"Anna, I've never held a child before."

"Nonsense! He's your son and you'll hold him!"

"But, Anna, I might-"

"Trust me, Kratos. You're not going to drop him. I'm here so don't worry about it!" Kratos took the baby that was wrapped in blankets and held him at arms length. Melanie was in the room and she laughed as she walked up to him and forced him to hold the child closer. The new born yawned and fell asleep in Kratos' arm and not once had he even showed signs of going to cry. At least not yet.

"There now isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen, Anna?" Melanie asked her as Anna giggled.

"It sure is."

"So what kinds name were you two thinking of?" Melanie asked as Kratos turned to Anna.

"Well, I was thinking of maybe George..." Anna said.

Nyiiiiiiiii...

They all froze. Kratos handed the baby back to Anna as he unsheathed the Star blade. Once again it was vibrating and making a very shrill sound. It was like a pitch scream.

"I guess the sword doesn't like that name?" Melanie guessed as Anna handed the baby to Melanie and took the sword. She held it straight up.

"Then I'll guess we'll just let it help us then. Say random names. There must but be one that this sword'll like," Anna said as they all began thinking.

"Bill!" Melanie exclaimed.

Nyiiiiiii...

"Andrew!" Anna shouted this time. Kratos kept silent.

Nyiiiii...

"Kyle!"

"Macalastor!"

"Bob!"

"Jack!"

Nyiiiiii...

"What kind of name is 'Jack'?" Melanie asked as Anna shrugged.

"I'm just saying random names. What kind of name is 'Bob'?" Melanie chuckled. Kratos finally decided to take a guess.

"Lloyd..."

Tinkle... tinkle...

They all stared at the blade as it continued to tinkle like bells. It didn't stop vibrating either.

"Lloyd," Anna repeated as the blade continued but even louder. It suddenly stopped as the baby coughed slightly. Anna and Kratos smiled at each other.

"So I guess that his name is Lloyd?" Melanie asked.

"His name is... Lloyd Aurion."

-------------------------------------------------------

Me: wow that took me a little while.

Anna: Why is that sword so weird?

Me: ha ha sorry but I like magic swords! Especially when they are possessed although this sword wasn't exactly possessed.

Anna: But seriously though what kind of name is Macalastor?

Me: Hey, thats one of my friends names!

Anna: oh well uh... it's an ok name...

Me: meh anyway until next chappie! ;)

Anna: Please review and she'll update faster.
