Even before I realised, hot warm tears started falling down from my eyes flowing down my face before falling in the air and landing on the ground. I wasn't ready, I had thought that I was ready but I wasn't.
Before any one could notice, quickly wiped them away, but it wasn't fast enough and Raumia had noticed.
"Zeit, Are you crying? Did you have a secret girl you're always meeting and she broke your heart?" Raumia teased me.
"Something just got in my eye." I replied while still rubbing my eyes.
"You sure? It seems like you're crying over a girl."
"Raumia, you can't be the one to talk you literally got your heartbroken and came back home crying last month." Hestia came to my defense.
"Hey, I told you that was because I failed the entrance exam for the Blades of Gyrofil Tournament."
I had always gone out in the weekends to train and go to the library too, As well as on weekdays. I would go to the library or go train my telekinesis after school.
"I told you many times Raumia, that I just go out to go to the library or training." I corrected Raumia's earlier statement.
"Lies." Raumia blurted out.
"You still want me to talk about the time you got heart broken twice in just 1 month?" I said with an annoyed look.
"Wait, No!"
"Well, come and have dinner now Zeit all of us were waiting for you." My mom said with a smile that I could never get enough of.
The rest of the dinner went fine and okay except the part where my dad and Raumia kept teasing me. I would've gotten annoyed if I hadn't felt this feeling for a long time and the fact that Hestia kept coming to my rescue and kept saying comebacks against them.
After dinner I laid in my bed thinking about what to do next. This town was going to get attacked by the man known as the 'Pirater' he was called that due to the reason that he would steal people's spiritulla which would give the victim a mental side effect or disorder.
I remember my mom telling me stories about 'Edward the Pirater' it sent chills down my spine, thinking about his victims. And my sister was one of those victims and I was determined to prevent that. The big scar on his right eye just made him more scary.
He came and attacked around in August which is a few months from now and also on my birthday. Safe to say that was one of if not the worst birthdays of my life.
Those memories of the Pirater killing my precious little sister Hestia still haunted me to this day. I needed to prevent it from happening again no I must prevent it from happening again.
I needed a weapon first preferably a sword first, there was no way i could defeat the Pirater without a weapon. He was a really strong awakener probably around high 5 star level at the time.
He had an ability known as the dreams of thieves which allowed him to steal someone's spiritulla or sometimes even relics. His relic on the other hand though, was probably one of the most powerful.
His blesser was Hercules, the bearer of the 12 labours. And it granted the ability known as a the 12 labours.
The ability, The 12 Labours allowed it's user to activate one of the labours at a price. It is one of the most powerful buff relics. It granted superhuman abilities and also weapons.
In our case Edward, his most used labour was the first labour the Pride of the Nemean Lion, which allowed him to gain significant strength and also the hide of the Nemean Lion. It was his go to labour due to the price just him being really prideful and bearing the weight of the heavy hide which limited his speed and agility.
Edward's weapon of choice was the blade of extraction which allowed him to extract energy from any spiritualla and use it at will. I used this weapon in the future after his death and it was a very powerful weapon.
This blade of extraction was a katana like weapon with some bandages wrapped around the hilt and the blade wore cracks where red energy or aura was emitted. The colour of the aura would change depending on the element.
Back to the topic, I needed a weapon and a good and strong one at that. There was no way I could defeat Edward with a normal sword. But there is still some time for that. There was still 3 whole months left.
Just then it came back to me, the treasures of cities, the most treasured weapon in the the cities. Each city always had one and in Gyrofil's case it was no different. Gyrofil held the weapon known as the Blade Of Arthur.
After being lost in thoughts for a while, I finally fell asleep. It was a quiet, dark and peaceful night. This kind of night was something I hadn't experienced in a long long time.
When I woke up, it was still sunrise, so I took the time to enjoy this sunrise for a bit. The sun shining through the tip of the mountains with a beautiful yellow and orange. These colours lit up the empty and dark night sky, like cheering someone up after they got a bad day.
After enjoying this sunrise, I went back downstairs to eat breakfast before heading again. I had gotten over meeting my family again thanks to all the thoughts and crying last night. I had to make sure they knew nothing about this.
It seemed like my mom was the only one awake
"Good morning, mom."
"Oh Zeit, morning and look at you all of a sudden waking up so early."
Oh don't tell me even mom's going to start teasing me now.
"Hmm, did your little girlfriend want you to wake up earlyyy?" My mom said with a grin.
Yep my mom is going to start teasing me too.
"No way, I just wanted to enjoy the sunrise."
I mean I woke up early for no reason and enjoyed this sunrise so I wasn't lying. My mom had the spiritualla, hater of liers which is a lie detection skill.
"Seems like you're telling the truth."
"Hell yeah I am there is no way I would be interested in anyone right now.
After that, I helped her get the breakfast for the family ready. After it was ready, I ate first to leave early since I did not want Raumia or my dad also teasing me about waking up early.
"Oh are you about to leave Zeit?"
"Yeah, I do not want Raumia also teasing me about this."
"Oh okay, be safe son."
This blade of Arthur is not exactly Excalibur, it is sort of like a replica. The real Excalibur has a large curved guard where as the blade of Arthur has a small curved guard.
For the actual blade the Excalibur's blade caves in from the ends of the guard almost like a triangle well it would be if the bottom part was straight. But the Blade of Arthur's blade was like any other swords blade except it had ancient writing on it.
I headed to a black smith to see if they had any good swords. I would come and take this if I couldn't free the Blade of Arthur from it's bindings. The Blade of Arthur was binded by chains and only those who were worthy could free it.
As of now it is stored in the underground chambers of the academy of Gyrofil. Anyone could walk and try and if they were worthy they could keep it.
The black smith had some blades that come from outside of Gyrofil so I was mostly looking in that section. I came across a weird looking dagger.
I took it out of its sheath and the blade went inwards from the guard in the middle there was a weird orb not really an orb more like a circular gem, a circular blue gem and two sharp objects came out from the sides of the gem.
"Oh that blade, that's a pretty bad dagger, it can't really do anything." The person working there called out.
I sensed it was a unique weapon and recognized it from somewhere. It was the dagger of growth. This dagger grows with it's owner and more aura poured into the gem the bigger the dagger grows.
"Most people can't even take it out of its sheath and pretty dull and useless. So I can give it to you for a cheap price."
"I see." I said that on the outside but internally I was practically jumping with joy to have gotten a good blade for a cheap price. But I didn't want to buy now I needed to test my luck in the Blade of Arthur.
But first i went to the library to get some books about Edward the Pirater and the Blade of Arthur. I needed to research about them first.
When I walked into the library, Clair greeted me.
"Oh hey Zeit, here to study and read some books again?"
When Clair asked me that I decided not to read them now since my first priority right now was to test my luck on the Blade of Arthur.
"Oh, no Clair, I came here to borrow some books." I replied
"Oh okay, tell me if you need something or if you need to find a book." She said that with a warm smile.
A smile that was strikingly beautiful, I didn't even get time to admire that beautiful smile of her yesterday since I was in such a rush. She was pretty popular with the boys and this was one of the reasons.
I went to find the books of Edward and Blade of Arthur. After some searching around, I found the book was Arthur Pendragon, where stories about him and his sword Excalibur were mentioned. And in the later parts the replica of Excalibur' The Blade Of Arthur was also mentioned.
But no matter how much I searched I couldn't find books about Edward The Pirater. So I decided to ask Clair.
"Umm Clair, could you help me find a book of Edward the Pirater?"
"Oh Zeit, unfortunately we do not have books of Edward the Pirater yet, we were planning to get some so we might have them in around a few weeks or so." Clair replied
"Oh thanks Clair."
Great I just wasted my time trying to find this book when it wasn't even here. So I just borrowed the book of Arthur Pendragon.
After that I decided to go to the academy of Gyrofil and to my suprise no one was there. Usually a lot of people would be here testing their luck on the Blade of Arthur. Even though the dagger of growth was a great blade, I doubt that I would be able to defeat Edward with it.
There was a guard dressed in a long white coat with what seems to be a long sword strapped around his waist. So I went up to him.
"Hmm? Who are you and state your business here." The guard asked coldly
"I am Zeit Fuermado, and I attend this academy." Oh shit I forgot today was a weekend.
"It is a weekend, the school is not open so what are you doing here."
"I came here to test my luck on the Blade of Arthur." I replied
The guard laughed before regaining his composure to talk to me again.
"Hahaha, you? A kid? Well good luck with that." The guard replied mockingly before opening the gates to the basement.
I went down a flight of stairs it was dimly lit with some lights in the walls. After what seemed like a few minutes the flight of stairs ended and I came Infront of a giant door.
When I open the door I saw a large circular room. There was what seemed to be a pathway leading to the middle where the Blade of Arthur laid levitating in the air due to a lot of chains restricting it.
besides the pathway and the circular platform where the Blade of Arthur was, the other parts had dropped down into a giant hole. The room was dimly lit with blue lighting and red lighting coming from the circular platform.
I walked across the pathway to the BoA and got a tight grip on its handle. I felt a ton of energy and aura on the blade but I continued to try to unseal it. It started budging but just then I got a shock in my right hand so I jumped backwards.
On the palm of my right hand I saw a mark of what seemed like a sword stabbed into a dragons head then some golden text appeared on my palm reading "The Blade Of Arthur Shall Remember You".
