66 Void Blade (1/2)

Standing near the completed blade Samantha places her hand on the pitch black blade feeling overwhelming amounts of obsessive love, the blood that mixed into the Void metal was not hers but mine. I did not know what she wanted the blood for and I did not ask, they have gotten better at blocking my future sight from watching their every move. But now that the blade is complete I see all that it sees, feel what it feels the connection is like a clone of me was just created.

”Lady Samantha that sword seems to be alive the blade is getting darker. I don't know what emotion that is but it is powerful enough to gain complete control over the area around it! What a superb ability! Thank you for helping me create this weapon I will never forget this.” Said Thain walking forward under the suppression of the blade.

Looking over at the struggling man Samantha provides a sheath for the blade eliminating the suppression, allowing him to come to inspect his work more closely. ”You did most of the work besides I also wrote my signature on the hilt.” Samantha said as she passed the sheathed sword over to Thain. Looking over the sword he finds that the blade is already destroying the sheath that is trying to contain it. ”What a powerful weapon Lady Samantha your blood is truly too powerful!”

Samantha just smiles not saying anything as this is a gift to show her affection towards Dashnell.

Thain excited beyond words holds the blade in his hands as he moves around lifting it up and down like a trophy. Little does he know he helped create a evolving self aware weapon, Void Metal was a material he heard about in legends that came from space never in his wildest dreams did he think he would get to forge a weapon out of this dream Metal. Void Metal comes from the center of the Void were a war caused the Void to shatter sending chunks of Void Metal into different Realms. But Thain could care less about this at the moment, he achieved many of his dreams here today and before he could drown in his success Samantha takes the blade from him and walks towards an open gate.

With the weapon no longer in his hands he comes back to his senses as he follows Samantha out of the gate, walking through the gate he ends up outside the Trial Tower appearing once again in the center of the military camp.

Clap Clap Clap

As applause from his surrounding shock him, Thain straightens his back walking out of the blinding light of the gate before he comes to realize he is standing on a stage. ”Congratulations Thain you are the first to pass the test within the Trial Tower! Well you would have been if you exited thirty seconds ago.” Said Prince Vesta as he he pointed to the Couple on stage who he remembers as Jacob and Liz.

”Your excitement for the blade cost you and me both Thain! Hahaha just kidding well done apprentice.” Said Samantha as she heads up to stand besides Vesta.

Becoming numb to the rush of information Thain looks at Jacob who he can swear appears much more mature and older he also spots a few kids behind the two, twins at age 10-11 and a little girl who looks no older than 5. Looking at Samantha with a look of absolute confusion he says. ”Did we take 15 years to create that blade!?” Shaking her head she tells him that time was sped up for those two by the Emperor, this helps Thain calm down slightly as he takes a look around at the empty field in front of him. Turning around he sees the Prince and Princess along with a few guards that should have been the ones clapping earlier, looking around he spots that the Emperor is nowhere to be seen.

Waking up Derrick looks around to find himself in a forest, at first he calmly gets up but he soon finds himself inside a familiar cage. To his side is his parents as well as his wife and a younger version of himself, tears line the edge of his eyes as blood drips from his clenched fist. ”Remember child fear can halt growth and could even cause death if encountered at the wrong time. To pass this trial is quite simple kill the cultist, rush into the cave and fight against the Monster who took away your parents!” A voice echos out inside Derricks head.

Standing up he grips his sword as he destroys the cage, hearing the sound of shattering wood nearby cultist rush over to find out what is happening inside the camp. Looking over to were the noise originated they find a youth killing their fellow cultist while making his way towards the Cave entrance, seeing this the stronger and more calm among them organize the others to help lead the youth into the cave.

”Push him towards the cave he is a Heaven Realm expert let Alba deal with him!”
