(morada)broken Blade Chapter 1&2.docx

CHAPTER 1 The Meeting The sound of blades echoes in his mind while he walks in the path of dirt on his way home. Returning in his room at the inn he saw a letter on the floor just outside in his room that has a red stamp on it, inside of the stamp is the symbol of lions head and under that head is cross sword that has a shield on the center which symbolizes a paladin. Hinatsu expeditiously opened the letter and the first thing he see is “We found her.” He quickly gathered his things in the inn and set foot to the eastern border. On his way he saw a girl that has troubling look on her as if she is lost her way to something he approached the girl and Hinatsu ask “Are you lost miss?” she quickly backed away from him and tried to pulled something in the stick like figure covered in cloth then she ask “get away from me.” He quickly replied and said “I’m just trying to help you.” Then she lowered the stick liked figure and said” oh… I’m sorry I thought you were going to kidnap me or something.” With a troubled looked Hinatsu asked “why would someone like to kidnap a girl like you?” The girl quick replied “Don’t mind that tiny detail, by the way do you have an extra map that shows the way to the eastern boarder?” Hinatsu replied “Sorry, I don’t have an extra I only have one map. The girl replied “That’s too bad, I lost my map here. “ Hinatsu asked the girl “do you want to tag along with me?” the girl quickly replied with a straight face “Can I trust you?” he quietly starred the girl and said “If you can’t trust me, then I will do something that can make me earn the trust that you need.” She asked Hinatsu “what is your name by the way?” Hinatsu replied “Hinatsu Senju” She laughed loudly and said “what kind of name is that.” Hinatsu replied “what is your name then?” she replied “Cecilia Lighthope” Hinatsu said “If you are going with we better leave now” She quickly replied and said “Wait I’m just going to buy something for our journey.”

Cecilia told Hinatsu to stay put and quickly left, He stood in the same place for a long period of time then Cecilia finally got back and she is carrying a bag full of herbs and food. Hinatsu asked Cecilia “Why did you buy that much and how much does that cost?” she replied “about 900Ruppies” Hinatsu is shocked on how much she bought with her money. Hinatsu packed the stuff they only needed and sold off the stuff that will be useless and they left the village. On their way to the next village Hinatsu felt a something was wrong and when he was about to look behind him something was thrown in the wood towards them and it exploded and became smoke screen. Hinatsu quickly grabbed Cecilia hand and said “don’t let go” she hold his hand tightly and they run away but the pursuers out run them and blocked the way then Hinatsu whispered something to Cecilia and chanted “oh… darkness inside manifest yourself into a blade that destroy my enemies with ease” A powerful gust of wind blew from where they are and after the wind settle she opened up her eyes and she saw Hinatsu holding a broken blade that has only single edge and surrounded by 3 people that have been cut down, while Hinatsu run towards her Cecilia fainted. Cecilia woke up near a fire and quickly stand up then she saw Hinatsu playing flute. Hinatsu notice that Cecilia has woken up and tried to go near her but she backed away Hinatsu said”your reaction is normal for a person who didn’t experience in a real battle” Cecilia replied ”did you really killed those men out there?” Hinatsu replied “yes” She is observing Hinatsu and stayed quiet for a minute the she asked another question. ”What was that blade you are holding earlier?” Hinatsu replied” Murasame is the name of the blade is the broken blade.” She whispered “The demon’s blade” Cecilia said “So you’re demon’s blade” Hinatsu nodded and said”at dawn we leave and after that you decide if you’re going to stay with me or not” Hinatsu said the words with a straight face and with a serious tone of voice.

CHAPTER 2 The Choice Cecilia is thinking hard if she’s going to stay with him or if she’s going to leave. Hinatsu called Cecilia and they left the camp, on the way to the next village they remain silent until Hinatsu asked “why are those people trying to kidnap you” Cecilia replied “I can’t say it at the moment this should be discussed indoors.” Hinatsu replied “this must be very important if you can’t say it out here!” Hinatsu whispered “be quiet” they keep walking then a person wearing a black cloak is approaching in front of them Hinatsu quickly summoned Murasame and form a defensive stance covering Cecilia at his back. Cecilia quickly uncovered the stick like figure and it was the sword Misteltein. The sword Misteltein is the sword that can annihilate anything. Hinatsu is shocked that the blade in front of him is one of the 7 sacred blades. Hinatsu didn’t notice but the black cloak person blink in front of him and tried stabbed Cecilia on his right side but Hinatsu reacted quickly and blocked blade using his broken blade but the cloaked man quickly recovered and slashed his blade to the right side and it hit Hinatsu left arm. The blade that Cecilia carries has been stabbed in the grown and her skin turned pale as if here mana was quickly exhausted. The cloaked man quickly fled away then Hinatsu quickly run beside Cecilia and hold here then said “why did you draw the blade?” she replied “I thought you needed some help so I tried use this blade again” Hinatsu quickly checked her pack If she has any item that can return a portion of her mana Hinatsu failed to find anything that can replenish Cecilia’s mana. He used his blood and draw a rune that create a link that connects the flow of their mana. Hinatsu used the link and transfer his through a kiss in on the run at her forehead. Cecilia quickly regained her consciousness and saw Hinatsu is looking her

straight “How did you get a hold of that blade?” Cecilia replied “Before ‘I’ll answer that question we should get you healed first.” Hinatsu agreed to Cecilia suggestion. Hinatsu lost conscious and passed out Cecilia tried to use the potion she bought but it didn’t do anything. Cecilia carried hinatsu to the village and asked the villagers to help Hinatsu and one of the villagers helped Cecilia carrying Hinatsu to the inn and they put Hinatsu into the nearest room. Cecilia stayed beside Hinatsu until one of the villagers found a doctor and Identified that Hinatsu’s would was reason why he is in such state because the blade that slashed his left arm was covered in poison luckily the poison can be removed by the doctor with the antidote, Cecilia asked where can she find the ingredients and the doctor replied “don’t worry, I got the antidote here” with a sign of relief the doctor apply the antidote on the wound. “He is alright now, all he needs now is time to rest.” She thanked the doctor and stay beside Hinatsu. Hinatsu woke up and heard a lullaby then he his head in the side and saw a girl that has long red hair and has a voice as if a warm gentle fire shields from the cold darkness. Cecilia rushed toward to the bed and asked Hinatsu if he’s alright and Hinatsu replied “I’m fine, how about you.” Cecilia replied “I’m alright because of you” Cecilia is look at Hinatsu and said it with a serious tone of voice “Hinatsu I’m going to stay with you until the end of this journey” Hinatsu nodded and said “Ok, I will protect you” Cecilia blushed while she is looking at hinatsu face.
