The Phantom Sword

Chapter 1 : The New Wielder!

"He's dead.....The 9th wielder he's now dead, He died while protecting the whole world and he succeeded" said Zield in grieve, " But Zegrath can be resurrected again and those darn Black Sages will do anything to get him resurrected again!" said Reeve in anger and agony. "True but our job as White Sages is to keep defeating them no matter what It takes and no matter how long it takes and even If they are greater in numbers, The Phantom Sword will now choose it's new wielder and I just hope that whoever it may be, He or she should make the good their ally not the evil. The 6th wielder, That bastard made hell break loose but he was stopped eventually." said Zield.

Three weeks later, " Come on Leo, Lets go to the nearby garden and practice sword fighting with some sticks! " said Gawn in excitement, " Yeah yeah I'm coming..." said Leo in boredom and both of them walked along together to the garden that was nearby in a city surrounded by citizens everywhere and this famous city is known as "Ekasa", The capital of "Catruania". Once Leo and Gawn reached the garden they started practicing and Leo who is known to surpass everyone in sword fighting in his age which is 17, Excelled Gawn and gave Gawn light bruises. "Hey, What's the big idea. You're killing me with that stick and I'm only 10!" said Gawn and Leo replied " Very funny Gawn you're not even that injured and you told me you wanted to become the one of the members of the Warriors in Catruania...." said Leo with a smile in a mocking manner, " Well the sun is about to set and I'm going back home or else mom's going to kill me instead, See you around Leo.", said Gawn and rushed back home covered in sweats all over his body. " Man what a weird kid...Well better get going.", said Leo to himself and as he was about to walk to his home a strange green light appeared right before his eyes and Leo stopped and covered his eye's as the light was to intense to see clearly, A shining sword covered with green scintillating aura appears on the ground and Leo glared at the sword for a while until it stopped glowing. " Man what a sword and where'd it come from...Well I guess I can sell it at a high price and buy some good stuff for mom and me.", Said Leo and he couldn't easily pick the sword as it was intensely heavy. "Am I picking up an anvil or something, Besides from all the swords I have wielded this one is absurdly heavy." said Leo while struggling in picking up the sword and somehow managed to pick it up and placed it upon his shoulders gently to easen the burden that his arms were carrying. " Well off to the Ekasa's biggest market, This sword is pretty weirdly crafted and what's the creepy skull placed on the sword's pommel and this strange orb attached to the sword's fuller but I'm pretty sure It's going to go in the market in a high price.", said Leo as he questioned himself and Leo continued to walk on the path where it was going to take him to the famous market in Ekasa.

Leo finally reached the famous market in Ekasa with the newfound sword that he was carrying on his shoulder, While walking his way to the market the crowd was shocked by seeing the sword that Leo was carrying but some with out knowledge weren't shocked. People around him started fussing about the sword that Leo was carrying with him, " Is that really the phantom sword?" said the citizen. " A fierce looking skull on the sword's pommel and an enchanted orb on the sword's fuller, It has to be the phantom sword!" said other the citizen, " No, the boy made the sword like that to sell it on a high price or probably to scare the people here. That runt!" replied the other citizen. Everyone was going wild upon the sword Leo was carrying, Leo was surrounded by people talking about him and the sword he was carrying, " Man what's with all the attention I'm getting, Does this sword belongs to a royal member If so I'm in deep trouble!" said Leo to himself but seeing that none approached him he went to the famous blacksmith in the market and showed the sword to the blacksmith's man, " This sword... No It can't be, Get out of here you cursed boy! " said the Blacksmith's man to Leo. " Wait what, Can't you just buy this sword from me and why're you calling me the cursed boy?" replied Leo but the Blacksmith's man shouted once more to Leo to get away from his workshop, Leo went to several Blacksmith's in the market and got nothing but people yelling at him to get out of there since one of the past wielder of the phantom sword left the world with fear when they looked upon the sword but some didn't fear the sword nor the wielder and accepted them for whoever he or she was. Leo kept on visiting other blacksmith's but got thrown out again and again with the same response until he reached an old blacksmith's workshop on the far end of the market. " Don't tell me you're going to shout at me for no reason and throw me out of your workshop as well." Leo asked the old blacksmith's man, " And why would I do that boy?" replied the old blacksmith's man to Leo, " I'm asking people to buy this sword from me but everyone keeps kicking me out and I don't have the energy left to carry this sword around anymore. So will you please buy it?" said Leo to the old blacksmith man and Leo showed the sword to the old blacksmith man and the old blacksmith's man was covered in shocks and chills. " Well isn't this quite a coincidence, The 5th wielder of this sword also came to me and asked me to buy it. " said the the old blacksmith's man and Leo in complete confusion questioned the the old blacksmith's man, " The 5th wielder of this sword, What're you talking about and why does everyone's eye's wide opens when they see this sword? " replied Leo, " You don't realize do you boy? " said the the old blacksmith's man, " No I don't get it, Can you just tell me already about what's going on with this sword?" said Leo in curiosity. " This is the phantom's sword and I'm not mistaken about it and now do you get it don't you boy?" said the the old blacksmith's man, " No way... Am I the 10th wielder of the phantom sword? " asked Leo, " Yes, Indeed it seems that way. " replied the the old blacksmith's man.
