I have been asked by many an elf if I am related to the General Nicholas Rune of the Dark & Light War. They always have a hard time believing that I am the real deal. However, when they see the scar on my chest where I was struck down in the Battle of Sarsastra, amazement always overwhelms any and all doubt. Just about always, they hesitate before asking a question as though I would pull a sword out of thin air. All their questions were pretty similar. "How did you become such an amazing soldier?" or, "You were unstoppable! How did you get so strong?" As I would recount how I had been lucky to run across some very special weapons, they would scoff and laugh until they realized it was no joke. Honestly, my career as a war general only lasted as it did because of those special weapons. No. They weren't just special. They were legendary, and that is no figure of speech. The weapons were very, very hard to acquire. Then again, they were the weapons of Alfheim legend.
