Sorry guys, this isn't a new chapter but I just realized I didn't explain why Ike still has Ragnell. Instead of returning it to its rightful place, he hesitated.
Ike looked at the powerful sword in his hands. He knew it wasn't his right to keep it but what if he did? What if he needed it again? A blessed sword was nothing to just keep. It was sacred. He wondered if his thoughts were really his own or if they were being pushed on him by something else, someone else. He shook his head, trying to clear but it didn't do any good. He was sick of making choices, always doing the best he could for everyone else. Would it be that bad to do something for himself? His hands shook. Why should he give it back? Was it not a gift? His anger built and he knew his common sense was becoming hazy and was soon to be lost. He didn't care. He sheathed the sword and made a final decision: he would keep the sword but it would be last resort. He would use his fists and dagger before he ever used Ragnell.
Alright. That's all you get. The next chapter is coming together pretty well and I'll try, try, to get it up by this coming Friday or Saturday. Don't quote me on anything though.
