Chapter 18- Origins Of Vengeance
Mini Bert and Grace approached a large snow hill at the end of the long trail up the mountain. "Well this is annoying, looks like the path it blocked." Grace said, Mini Bert shook his head and began climbing up the snow pile. "Oh." Grace said as she climbed after Mini Bert.
They reached the top of the snow hill, Grace stared around at the small town of wooden houses, she saw little children running around after each other with sticks taking shots at each other,"Ohhh, look at how happy the children are playing" Grace said hapily, "This is Belaria, those children are training, most of the people here are warriors, the remainder of them are sages and monks." Mini Bert replied, "Lets go, I'm not sure how much time we have, Jenso's house is just over here." Mini Bert said gesturing for Grace to follow, they passed the large wooden houses to come to a smaller one, Mini Bert swung open the door.
"Oh hello Mini Bert, how did you get through the barrier? Is Kinami with you?" Jenso asked as he got up of the floor and set the soup he was eating down, "No, Kinami is in the hospital, I used this to cut through your barrier." Mini Bert explained holding up the Vengeance blade, Jenso flinched at the thought of what could put Kinami in the hospital, then he looked at then Vengeance blade and fell back onto the floor. Grace and Mini Bert were startled at his reaction, Jenso began to shake, he brought up a shaky finger and pointed at the Vengeance blade, "That...That sword! It's the Vengeance Blade isn't it?" Jenso asked shakily, Mini Bert nodded, "Why do you hold it? It will devour your emotions!" Jenso yelled, Mini Bert rose his eyebrow, "What do you mean, I've used this sword alot, it's never taken my emotions away." Mini bert replied, "Wait. How did you know what it was?" Grace asked "That blade was created here." Jenso replied, "Good. Thats what I thought, now, just how was it created?" Mini Bert asked as he sat on the floor.
"Very well, the Vengeance blade was created from several materials found within the Belarian caves, it was used by a powerful swordsman that had appeared one day seven hundred years ago. He easily tore through the homes of our ancestors, striking terror into their hearts, scarring us forever." Jenso explained, "I'm sorry for all of that pain you suffered, but what does tat have to do with the Vengeance blade NOW?" Grace asked, "You're right, I should get to the point. You see, when Kenji defeated Marine with the belaria saber he began to admire the power of the materials in the Belarian caves, so he settled here, spending his days collecting materials, and using them to forge powerful weapons. Fearing that Kenji could lose control and destroy them, the Belarians drove him out of the mountain, and with him, nine of the swords he created, all except the Belaria blade which was used by belarians as defence, no one knew what became of Kenji, but when the knight arrived using the Vengeance blade, he easily overtook the Belarians, but after several days the knight was found asleep with the balde still in his hand, when he awoke, the blade had reverted to a smaller form, and the knight had no memory of what happened, and left leaving behind the blade. one hundred years later the same thing happened, also leaving us with another blade, we dispensed of these blade by giving them to travelers." Jenso explained.
"So, Kenji created the Vengance Blade...and a second one, but why?" Mini Bert said, "They believe that Kenji was driven by the power of the materials he lived with." Jenso replied. "Well thank you Jenso, I found what I needed, now I need to find the second Vengeance blade." Mini Bert said as he turned to the door, Grace followed him, "Bye Jenso, Thanks for all your help." Grace said as she stepped out the door, smiling and waveing good-bye.
Mini Bert and Grace were walking back away from the mountain since they had both exhausted their technique power on the force field, they were oddly silent, "There are things in Jenso's story that just don't add up." Mini Bert spoke out, "What do you mean?" Grace asked "Well, why would Kenji send two knights to destroy Belaria, why would he give two of the most powerful swords to just anyone, why is it that there is a Vengeance staff, but was never spoken of? It just seems on." Mini Bert explained, "Well we'll wait to get back to pioneer 2 before we discuss it anymore, lets just enjoy the scenery." Grace said quietly. Mini Bert's phone rang, "Hello?" Mini Bert said as he opened the cell phone, "Mini Bert, they've suceeded in destroying the sages of energy and water, hurry back to pioneer 2, only the sages of light and spirit remain, we are very close to eradicating Rannu!" Rannu's voice came through the phone, then went off. "We have to hurry back to pioneer 2." Mini Bert said begining to run, "So much for enjoying the scenery." Grace said sarcastically as she ran after him.
