The leader of our clan extended his right hand towards the stick and took it in his hand. Slowly turning towards me, he handed me the stick. I wanted to take the stick more than anything else, but when I took this stick, I would be under great responsibility. Seeing the cautious look in my eyes, the leader spoke to me,
"If you fight with this stick, we can show people that our lineage is still fearless and strong. Carry our name and show people what we can do."
With these words, I had no choice but to take the stick. I slowly brought my hands to the stick and examined it a little. I had never seen such a stick before in my life. The stick was quite thick and the wood was perfectly elegant. I couldn't wait to take it in my hand. I grasped the stick with both hands and pulled it towards myself.
