A new Sword
One week later, Jin wakes up early in the morning washes himself and gets dressed skipping down the stairs to the dining hall for breakfast, Jin’s mother Jun looks at him.
“you woke up early today, is anything special happening? “ Jun asked with a smile and a knowing look in her eyes.
Jin sat himself down on a chair, started eating his food and answered. “ You know grandpa Yi is delivering my sword today, also i believe he will bring me the spell casting books he promised“
After breakfast Jin was wandering around the mansion not knowing what to do while waiting for when his grandpa Yi would arrive. Just when Jin was thinking of leaving for his hidden training ground he heard his grandpa Yi laughing and shouting in a calm tone. “ Jin I was looking for you.“ As Jin turned around, grandpa Yi was already putting his hand on Jins shoulder. “ We need to talk“ Grandpa yi said while pressing down on Jins shoulder. Jin looked up at grandpa Yi and nodded his head. “Follow me.“ Grandpa Yi said and started walking.
Jin followed and noticed they where walking towards their ancestors hall. Seeing this Jin asked. “Why are we walking towards the ancestors hall.“
Looking at his grandpa Yis back, Grandpa Yi stopped, turned around and answered him. “ The ancestors hall is the only place where nobody can disturb or listen on our conversation.“ Jin understood it was something important and followed grandpa Yi to the ancestors hall.
Inside the ancestors hall grandpa yi closed the massive doors looked Jin in the eyes before revealing a plain looking ring and explained. “Jin this is a spatial ring inside i put your sword, both spell books and a book about mages and warriors, just drop some blood to bind the ring. “
Grandpa Yi took a deep breath and continued. “Jin listened to me. It is very important that you dont reveal the spell books to anyone. “
Jin nodded his head and answered “I was not planing to. Anywas we promised, remember. “
Grandpa Yi smiled and continued. “Jin, children younger then ten are not allowed to have any spell books. If people found out that you already can cast spells only problems will come with the news of a seven year old child capable of such feats. “
“I understand. “ Jin answered.
Jin looked at the two elemental spell books he was given by grandpa Yi, one was to conjur air around his hand and throw it creating a sharp blade of wind the other book was a earth spell to manipulate the earth with is elemental essence to create and form objects.
After looking through the books he sent them back into his ring and withdrew his first sword the katana, after feeling the perfect weight and seeing the perfect length and width of his new black katana Jin asked his grandpa Yi what his new katana was made out of.
Grandpa Yi looked at Jin while smiling and explained. “This sword is made of a black ore which when used to create a sword or any kind of weapon and depending on the smelting and crafting method it is unbreakable. Luckily for you, one of the only people that knows this technique in the whole sky continent just happened to be passing through emerald city, and he his a good friend of your old grandpa. “
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
“Thank you grandpa Yi. “ Jin said, then asked. “Why did you not make one for yourself when your friend already was in emerald city? “
Grandpa Yi laughed saying. “I wish he could, but it is a very rare ore and we only had a big enough black ore for one short sword, two knifes or two daggers or a sword big enough for a child, you.“
“Then I will treasure it always, and keep it with me.“ Jin said smiling from ear to ear.
Grandpa Yi started laughing again while looking at his grandson. “Oh i almost forgot, another reason the black ore is so special is it can gather and enhance all elemental essence. If you look under the hilt I asked my friend to incase one earth and one air crystal, so you can also use it as a magic staff. Now go and familierize yourself with your new sword “
Jin nodded, gave his grandpa Yi a big hug then left.
A child was moving fast then slowed down, flowing from one place to another with a black katana. Then he suddenly stopped in the middle of his training ground and the katana dissapeared.
He was standing completly frozen, not moving a finger, but around his hand air was gathering and getting denser, the next second a branch fell down from a tree it was cleanly cut in half. Jin had mastered the most basic of the wind blade at a frightning fast pase.
The gathering of the air around my hand takes to long I need to shorten that, maybe I should try gathering the air around my katana and see what that will create. Jin thought.
The next second the black katana appeared in Jins hand, air gathering around the blade of the katana. Jin slashed his katana towards the tree in a downwards motion, the wind blade flew straight through the tree.
Yep that is much stronger then my basic wind blades, tomorrow i should try some different approaches. Oh I also need to test out some earth manipulation as well. Tomorrow I will check in on father to see if he is teaching that idiot of a second prince something else, then i will countinue with my magic spells.
This was going trough is head as he walked towards the mansion to sleep, he had spent all day on the training ground even skipping dinner.
Oh I forgot I need to name my katana, wind cutter no, maybe fast wind, hmmm black wind yes black wind sounds nice. I will call her black wind. Jin thought satisfied with his naming sense.
Next day Jin was standing at his usual place overlooking the imperial training ground, watching his father training the idiot prince in the imperial art of the spear. The next month Jin was spending his time going from the imperial training grounds to his own hidden training ground learning the imperial spear while also training in his flowing sword, the imperial sword and his magic casting.
He now could manipulate the earth in many different forms, but realised when using black wind it amplified his own magic multiple times. Two new techniques was created with the help of his black wind. He could easily create a thin shield wall of earth and some spikes shoting out of the ground. But while using black wind to penetrate the earth, and then pouring earth essence through his black wind, he could make spikes 360 degrees around him with a distance up to 20 meters.
