Arlan and Oriana were ready to return to Griven by the afternoon. Duke Alissin came to bid them farewell, but he brought something with him.
"Your Highness, this is for you," he said as the knights placed a long wooden box on the center table. The Duke explained, "These swords belong to your family and were likely used by your ancestors, Your Highness. I found them long ago and kept them safe because they are like a rare treasure. I believe you might like to take a look at them."
Oriana's eyes brightened. "I would love to see them."
A knight had already opened the box, revealing five different swords. Four were longswords used by men, while one was a short sword.
