Living Sword

5 Chapter 5: To Cheer Him Up

"There was a noble man — a soon to be ruler of a kingdom...

In the age of 18 — he should have displayed such great talents expected in him but within his existence, he doesn't have any weapons who choose him. Even the cheapest bamboo stick don't want him.

His long secret-love friend laughs at him because of that. She was a girl with no family background but because a rich family adopted her, she can get close to a royalty.

3 years passed again and there is no sign that he can get any weapon.

Years passed again and all his family's descendants raced towards the throne while he can't do anything about it because he is powerless.

The cycle repeatedly hold until his eldest cousin take over the throne and make him a bait in the waging war as well as the others.

The old friend went with him, like him, she also don't have any weapon which is unnecessary too in that time. Women don't need a weapon, her husband can take of her.

The ground breaks and darkness arrived, with only 3 thousand troops, they might not even stand a chance. The roars of shadow overwhelmed the battle and the prince who stopping himself to show fear, tear fell on his face as he defended himself with such raw attacks.

And then he was wounded and about to be killed when she stood between them and gave her a smile. Her golden brown hair started to flicker the bright colors of blue as she said the words...

"Use me"

She, herself, turned into a weapon — a beautiful diamond sword who shows superiority against others. He can't believe at first but with the enemy in front of him, he grabbed it and kill him.

The war ended with unexpected result — they won.

She turned back on her human form as she explained everything to him.

They brought home the victory and he started to compete with others to bring back the throne who is supposed to be his." Kiara said.

Hako laughed.

"How ridiculous!" He said.

"And why is that?" she asked irritated.

"How can a human became a weapon?" he said.

"Ever heard of Diamond Spirits?" this statement made him quiet as he answered with a "No".

"They were the Spirits who have a human body and a power to become a disastrous weapon. They can also live in both human and spirit dimension, and from all the spirits, they were considered royals and masters by the spirits and throne-seeking weapon for Weapon Masters — in short they were fearful and powerful. They chooses its own master, they can come through calling them but sometimes, they are hard headed and acts more like a master in their own terms" she answered.

"But in other point of view, they are considered extinct. Maybe one in a billion?"

"Is it supposed to be cheering me up?" He asked.

"Do not work?" she asked confusingly.

"I thought that maybe it will work because once a weapon chosen a master, other weapons will back off and got him out of the list of eligible candidates"

"It is not rather true that there is weaponless master but it is just the faith that either destroyed it" Kiara said in deep thoughts.

"No matter how we look into it, it is just too theoretical to believe" he said as he left her there.

Kiara just smiled and lean her back against the apple tree.
