THE BLIND SWORDSMAN

CHAPTER 1: ASTA'S BEGINNINGS

In the Forsaken Realm or the outskirts of the Clover Kingdom, there is a small village named Hage. It was the dead of night, most of the people were asleep except for Orsi Orfai, also known as Father Orsi. He was whistling a cheerful tune as he was sweeping the dust from the floor. As he placed the broom back into the corner, he was going to rest until he heard something coming from outside of the church.

He opens the door and looks down to see two infants in baskets, crying. He quickly picked them up, placed them in the church and lit the fireplace using his magic. The two infants stopped their crying.

"Ah, there we go." Orsi said as he closed his grimoire. "Those two have finally calmed down. Now let's see who we're dealing with."

Orsi removed one blanket cover to reveal a black-haired child, sleeping calmly with a blue necklace, which has a design of a gold cross and 4 stars in each corner. On his onesie, It reads "Yuno."

"Okay, Yuno. Now for the other one." Orsi removed the other cover to reveal a gray-haired child. He was squirming around, trying to get comfortable again. He started to whimper until Orsi soothed him and helped him back into comfort. He then got a closer look at the boy.

One thing he noticed right away was his face. On the infant's face was a scar-shaped mark that extended from his left to right side, covering both his eyes and reaching from his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose.

"Interesting..." Orsi then looked at the onesie and it read "Asta."

"Okay, Asta. Well Asta and Yuno, looks like you two don't have to worry any more. Starting today, This is your new home."

A Few years Later

Asta is now 6 years old, sitting outside of the church he lives in. He didn't really do much or in better terms, can't really do much due to his situation.

Asta was blind, as evidenced by his grayish eyes.

For all his life, all he saw was nothing. He doesn't know what his father or his family look like. All he could do is imagine what they look like based on how they sounded or what Yuno would described to him. He can't forget the fact that he can't really walk without the help of his family. It wasn't the blind part that he was upset about, it was the fact that he couldn't be much help to the others.

What made him more upset was the fact that he can't do magic, which everyone can do. This is just great for him. Not only was he born with the inability to see, he also had zero mana in him so performing magic was a no go for him. The blind part didn't upset him as he has been blind for a long time but the magic part still affected him. Asta then hears someone walk through the Church door.

"Asta." Yuno greeted him.

"Hey Yuno."

"Father asked me to deliver this letter. Want to come?" Yuno asked.

"I mean, is it okay with father?" Asta asked him. Yuno went to go talk to Father Orsi and he came back a few seconds later.

"He said you can go, but you have to stay close."

"Ok, I'll come with." Asta said.

Yuno grabbed Asta by the hand and led him to the other town. When they made it to the town, They dropped off the letter to the man and started to head home. In town, it was snowing and the boys was shivering.

"It's cold out here."

"I wished we had jackets." Yuno added. "So Asta, are you feeling ok? I've noticed You been down recently."

"... No, Not really."

"Is it because of the...?"

"No Yuno, It's not because I'm blind, I have gotten used to that. It's that I can't use magic."

"Asta, it's not big deal if you can't use magic."

"Easy for you to say. From what I heard, You're very talented with your magic."

"Asta, you know that doesn't matter to me. Surely, something good will come to you."

All of the sudden, some random drunk man walked in front of them.

"Hey Kid, give me your necklace."

"What? No, it's mine." Yuno said, holding his necklace. The drunk man got close as Yuno backed up, holding Asta's hand.

"Yuno, what's happening?" Asta asked as he doesn't know what is occurring.

"I said, GIVE IT!" The drunk got close and pushed the boys down. He then went to Yuno and took the his necklace.

"HEY! ITS MINE!" Yuno then got up and tried to get it back, but the drunk kicked him back down.

"Stay down kid. Didn't your parents teach you about respecting nobility?"

Yuno then started using his magic.

The drunk laughed. "What are you trying to do? Go ahead and try. if you do, you're dead."

Yuno was tearing up. He had no idea what to do right now.

Asta was getting angry at this drunk man. While he struggled to do so, he managed to get up and Without a second thought, he just ran towards the sound.

He managed to grab onto the man.

"Give his necklace back!"

"Hey, Let go kid!" The Drunk elbowed Asta on the side of his head. Asta fell to the ground, with his head ringing. He then got back up slowly.

As Asta was trying to concentrate on the sound of the guy, He saw something.

In his vision of black, He saw what seems to be energy coming from what he assumes to be Yuno and The drunk guy, as it looks like energy coming from their bodies. He also noticed that their energy looked different as well. Asta was startled and wanted to know what he was looking at.

He then figure it out. What he was seeing was their energy.

"Fine. Have it your way brat." The Drunk used his magic as well. What Asta noticed is that the drunk's magic wasn't a lot.

"Yuno, use your wind!" Asta shouted at him.

"B-But Asta, he's a noble."

"I can see his energy. It not as strong as you think." Asta said, which surprised Yuno.

"What was Asta talking about?" Yuno thought.

"Just Trust me." Asta said.

Yuno trusted Asta and started to add more mana into his wind. While it wasn't big, his wind seemed to have scare the noble.

'How? How is this kid's magic more than mine right now? What is with that other kid?' The noble thought.

"Here, take it back. I don't want it." The noble threw the necklace back to Yuno and walked off quickly.

"Asta, How did you-" Yuno then saw Asta fall to the ground. "ASTA!"

Yuno picked up Asta and rushed him back to Hage.

Back in Hage

Sister Lily was outside, wondering where Asta and Yuno is at. She then see someone running towards them. Her face soon turned to scared expression as she saw that it was crying Yuno carrying a unconscious Asta on his back.

"Sister Lily! Asta has passed out. He needs help." Yuno said. Lily then rushed the Yuno inside with Orsi sitting in front of the fire place. He saw what has happened and went to go help them as well.

"Yuno, what happened?" Father Orsi asked with worried tone while Lily was using her healing spell.

"Me and Asta delivered the letter and this drunk guy was trying to rob me." Yuno answered with a scared tone in his voice. "But we managed to scared him off."

"How you did that?"

"Asta told me to add more to mine."

This answer confused both Orsi and Sister Lily.

"Yuno, what do you mean?" Father Orsi asked in concern.

"The drunk guy was using his magic, but Asta said that he saw his energy and that there's wasn't much behind it."

Now the response Yuno gave them was shocking to say the least. Asta groan and sat up, holding his head.

Asta sighed, rubbing his head. "What happened?"

When Asta opened his eyes, he saw the energy coming from Yuno, Lily and Orsi.

"Uh, you guys are glowing."

The three looked at each other in concern. "Asta, I'm about to try something. Let me know what you see." Orsi then released more of his mana.

"I see a lot of energy coming from yours than Yuno's and Lily's. Father, what's going on?" Asta asked, getting a bit scared.

"Asta, I think you're sensing our mana."

"What does that mea-" He tried to get up but his he held his head in pain.

"Asta. For now, just worrying about getting some rest." Lily said as she helped Asta lay back down. Everybody decided to got to bed for the night.

Asta stayed up a bit, trying to figure out this new... feature of his. He don't have mana, but he can see it. He looked around the room and sees that everyone's asleep. Yuno, Nash, Recca and the other kids there, He was seeing their mana. Asta was amazed by what he was looking at, he was seeing different colors for the first time ever and each one had a different flow.

He then sees one of the children's energy flow different. He looked at the energy to see that the child was twisting and turning. He didn't know what was going on until he decides to close his eyes to think on what is wrong.

When he closed his eyes, What happened next he couldn't believe. He was sensing them now. As he focused, he saw a better mental image of what's in front of him. He saw not only the energy from the bodies but the details of them. But so far, the only details he see was the blanket and his siblings. He looked at the moving child and he saw the energy it was emitting as if it was trying to tell him something. The energy was... uncomfortable.

Asta sees that the cover wasn't covering the child, So he tried to walk to the child using his sensing. When he got to the child, he covered him up and walked back to his spot carefully.

As the child snuggled in the blanket, Asta see the energy of the child change its flow to a calm and relaxed one.

With the problem dealt with, Asta laid back down and fell asleep for the night.

And that was Chapter 1. So what do you think about Asta's unique gift? What do you think about the story so far?
