Chapter 24: The Legendary Swordsmith!

Blaze's POV

"Whaaaattttt!?" I replied.

"Thats right, Night left to Velder." Mayumi replied.

"Why didn't you stop him!?" I replied.

"Hmph, its was his decision to go to Velder. Even if he knew that you would be pissed." She replied.

"Well this is bad. He could get assaulted." Nyte replied.

"He could get jumped, by those guys from before." I replied.

"He could starve to death." Ara replied.

"Um, Miss Ara. Night's not that stupid to leave himself hungry." Mayumi replied.

"You're right lets hope for the best." Ara replied.

"Also, Night told me that he's obtain a fief from the king and he wants us to meet him there." Mayumi replied, she then showed us the coordinates. We then packed up and left Hamel castle. I then noticed Evia staying.

"Hey Evia, aren't you coming?" I replied.

"Sorry, but I'm the princess of Hamel and I have duties as the future heiress to the throne." She replied.

"I'll stay here too. To see if Night comes back" Ara replied.

"Alright, I'll see you two later." I replied. We then headed out to Hamel and to the East. Hoping to find the land that Night was talking about.

Night's POV

*Grumble* *Grumble*

Man I'm so hungry how did I get into this mess.

Three days ago

"So if I head into the forest, I'll reach Velder before sundown alright." I then headed into the forest.

Two Days ago.

"Okay, maybe its take about one day to reach it." I replied. Continued walking in the forest.

One Days ago

"What the hell! I've been walking in the same place for hours." I replied.

Today

I was starving. I knew, I should have packed some trail mix. Before I left. Now I'm going to get eaten. I thought. I finally was knocked out from hunger.

"So Hungry." I thought. After what seem liked hours. A voice replied,

"Hey are you alright?!" A female voice replied.

"Hungry..." I replied. She then gave me bread.

"Here, eat this." She replied. I then grabbed the bread and ate it.

"Thank you." I replied.

"Its no problem, we need to help each these time" She replied. I looked at her, she yellowish-green hair and had pointy ears.

"Excuse me, miss? Could you be an Elf?" I replied.

"Why yes, I am." She replied.

"Oh but please, forget that you ever saw me." She replied. I then nodded my head.

"Anyway whats your name?" She replied.

"My names Nightwing Hann." I replied.

"Wait did you say Hann?" She replied. I nodded my head again.

"Then perhaps, could you be related to Ara?!" She replied.

"I'm her younger brother." I replied.

"What, Ara has a younger brother?! I thought she an older one, nice to meet you! I'm Rena.I'm sure, that she told you about us, when she was in the Elgang." She replied.

"Um Noona, didn't really told me anything about the Elgang." I replied. Rena, then fell down on the ground.

"Really?!" She replied. Rena seems childish, for an adult.

"Uh yeah." I replied.

"Say how old are you?!" She replied.

"I'm 16, maybe 17 soon." I replied.

"Wow, for a sibling. You seem pretty young, for Ara's old age." Rena replied.

Ara's POV

I started to have a shiver.

"Something wrong, Ara?" Evia replied.

"I just have this odd feeling, that someone just called me old now." She replied.

Night's POV

"Um she's not that old." I replied.

"Well whatever. What are you doing in the elven forest anyway?" She replied.

"Um, I saw the sign at the entrance at the forest that this was the quickest way to Velder." I replied.

"Well your wrong? Some joker, switch the signs recently and it was mistaken for it." She replied.

"Oh man, I'm lost." I replied panicking.

"Calm down. I know a way out of this forest and you'll be at Velder. Follow me." She replied.

I then followed her out of the forest and in just a half-a hour. I was out. I then saw Velder, up ahead.

"Thanks Rena." I was about to leave, when she stopped me.

"Wait before you go, I got to erase your memory of you ever seeing me." She replied. She then was about to cast her magic, however my arm started to burn up. I then pointed at something.

"Hey look, a cat!" I replied. She then turned around letting go and replied,

"Where?!" She replied. I then ran away to Velder. She then turn around and noticed I ran.

"Hey get back!" She started chasing me. I ran as fast as I can, Due to me being curse. If I'm inflicted with any magic abillity my arm will start burning up.

I went inside Velder, and ran as fast as I can. Away from her. I looked behind and saw her jumping from the buildings.

"What the hell!?" I shouted.

"Get back here!" She shouted.

"Nooo!" I'm then ran through and alleyway, and saw a weapon shop. I then entered it and hide in it. She then passed me. I then sighed in relieve and a voice replied,

"May I help you?" A voice replied. I turned around and looked, I saw a man with red-hair and crimson eyes.

"Oh its you." He replied.

"You're the man, who save me." I replied. He then walked towards me and helped me up.

"Names Elsword." He replied.

"I'm Night." I replied.

"Well, do you need anything?" He replied. I then noticed, that this was a blacksmith shop. I then showed him my broken blade.

"What happened to it?" He replied.

"I was fighting a person, and he struck my blade hard enough to snap it in half. Can you fix it?" I replied.

"I can, however this will cost you. 50,000 ED." He replid.

"Wha, that much!" I replied.

"Well, this is a finely crafted sword after all, plus the blades is made of rare metals. That are expensive and rare." He replied.

"Oh come on, give me some slack!" I replied. Suddenly, he got hit in the head with a broom.

"Jeez, papa. Scamming our customers." She then looked at me.

"I apologize, he tends to scam people. If he see's weapons that look uncommon." She then gave a hand, to shake.

"My name is Elsi. I'm sure you met my cheapskate father." She replied. She had long red hair and a few purple hair streaks. She had violet-crimson eyes and was 4 years younger than me.

"I'm Night." I replied. I then shook her hand.

"The original price for repairing 500 ED, but will give you a discount of 250 ED as an apology." She replied.

"Thank you." I replied, I gave her the money and she began to repair the weapon. I then sat next to Elsword, he then replied,

"So how's your wound." He replied.

"Oh its fine." I replied.

"So you have a daughter?" I replied.

"Yeah, I've been taken care of her and quit being a Knight and became a blacksmith." He replied.

"I also taught my daughter, how to use a sword like me and she surpassed me. She's also a master blacksmith." He replied.

"What do you mean by master?" I replied.

"When she was about 5 years old. She started created a weapon and successfully made a broadsword. I was surprise, it took me about a month to perfect a broadsword. So my daughter's mostly been doing the crafting in my place." He replied.

"You must be lucky to have a daughter like her." I replied. She then came out, with my blade fully repaired.

"Here your blades all fixed up, I saw some spiritual energy in it. So I decided to mix with a few magic metals. So you can imbued it with spells if you know magic." She replied.

"I forgot to mention she's also a magician as well." He replied.

"Wouldn't her mother be a magician then?" I replied. His eyes widen, with gloom.

"Of course Aisha, I took her own daughter. Away from her, when she was born." He replied.

"Wait, you mean Miss Aisha?!" I replied.

"Yeah, I sort of propose to her when we were younger.13 years ago, when Elsi was born. I took her and left. Without notice." He replied.

"Wait so you're saying..." I looked at her daughter and compared her to both Elsword and Miss Aisha.

"Now that you mention it, there's a resemblance." I replied.

"Well, is that all?" She replied.

"No, there's still more." I replied.

"Mr. Elsword, please train me even further in the way of the sword." I replied.

He then took a deep breath and replied,

"Why's is that." He replied.

"Well..." I then removed the bandage from my right arm and showed him my marking.

"Thats a magic curse." He replied.

"Yeah, I sort of been affected with it. Now I can't use magic." I replied. Elsi, then interrupted.

"Can you not use magic, or does it start burning up, when you tried to use magic?" She replied.

"Its start burning up." I replied.

"Then its not that you can't use magic. This curse takes double the amount of mana. To cast magic, she then unroll her sleeve and she had markings as well.

"You too." I replied.

"Look." She replied, She then grabbed her blade and focused her right arm on the blade. Suddenly the sword is imbued with a white-purify aura.

"Dad, imbue your sword with fire." She replied. Elsword, then imbued his sword with fire magic and she then strike his sword and the fire from the sword disappear.

"What was that?" I replied.

"Its a ancient magic technique called dispel." She replied.

"It cost a really low amount of mana to cast. Plus you can imbued it on your sword to cancel out magic attacks coming your way. However, with this curse. You'll be much weaker to magic attacks." She replied.

"Wait so your saying anyone can learn it?" I replied.

"Only people that are cursed, with the magic markings can learn it. It seems you qualify to master it." She replied.

"Alright, then teach me. How to use it. I want to learn the origins of the dispel techniques." I replied.

"Fine then. Starting today, you are my pupil for the next half year." She replied.

I nodded my head, and prepared myself for tomorrow.

Blaze's POV

"We finally arrived!" I replied. The fief, had a great atmosphere and a lake, that was perfect for swimming. The house was designed as a japanese style giant houses, not mansion or castle. But ones with a dojo and a hot spring.

"Now, all we have to do is Night to arrive." Nyte replied. We then, packed our stuff and did things normally until Night would return.

Night and I knew, that this battles just beginning.
