Chapter 4:The Adventure Begins
Night on the Celestial Plain was Moon shimmered in the sky,as if it was just an illusion. The air was cool,and you could hear night birds singing in the distance.
Axem sat against a tree trunk,still shocked at his new 'body'.
Why did this have to happen to me?I'm just some normal,C-average kid.He thought to himself,drifting off to sleep.
The sun rose in the distance,it's brilliant beams casting off the inkiness of night. Axem awoke with a yawn,stretching like a dog. He looked around sleepily,and noticed Waka and Amatertsu walking towards him.
"Arise,serviteur!It is time!"Waka proclaimed,playing a little tune on his flute. Amateratsu gave a happy bark.
"Time for what.....?"Axem asked,drowsiness still in his voice.
"Your quest,of course! By the way,have you ever used a Glaive before?"
"What's a glaive?"
"Just a fancy word for a sword."
Axem stood up,bursting with energy."I get to use a sword?!Sweet!"He said,his tongue hanging out.
Waka held out his hand,and a burst of light temporarily blinded anyone in the area. On the prophet's hand,was a long Blade. It's metal colored Jade Green,and in the orb-like guard,wind moved freely."I grant you the Kusanagi,blade of legends. Use it well."
Axem took the blade,and gave it a few practice swings. The last one,it slipped from his hand,and missed Waka by an inch.".......Do you even know how to use that thing?"He mumbled.
"Yes. The pointy end goes into people I don't like."
Somehwere else on the Celestial Plain
Axem approached a gigantic iron ark,his mouth open with awe."This will take you to the mortal realm."Waka explained,stnading next to Axem."It's been through many hardships. It only has enough power for one more trip."
"And,it's mine?"
"Correct. You won't be able to come back until your quest is fufilled."
Axem had Kusanagi on his back,and a sack that seemed to have the power of infinite space."Be warned,it will be dangerous. Hyakuhei's wickedness has spread all over the lands. The very soil itself will try to execute you."
"Such a great pep talk......"The hybrid said,then his ears perked up."Wait,won't people get freaked out by me?"
"Oh,no!Your true form will only be visible to the pure of heart,and those who still believe in the gods."Waka explained,shoving Axem into the entrance of the ark."Good luck,servituer."He said, smiling. Amateratsu seemed happy and sad at the same time,staring at her heir.
The door closed with a mechanical click.A humming sound began as the ark powered up,lifting off the ground. Axem's journey had begun.
