Lei patted her face and looked at the reflection in the creek. A swaying figure stood on the bank, with a beautiful long sword strapped to her waist.
The glory of the past - a weapon given to the girl by the Knight. It is said to be a sacred object crafted by the Lake Fairies in Avalon of Fantasy Land.
When the sword was handed over, he said to Lei:
"This weapon can only be wielded by a girl with a pure soul? Why a girl, you ask? Um, well...
"Right! When I say pure soul, I don't mean the flawless kind seen in natural diamonds, because their beauty is a gift from the heavens.
"I mean the kind of purity that comes from countless battles, like that of steel. And you are one of the very few."
Lei had already noticed.
When she transformed into light to escape, pain and power quickly found her. It was as if they had been chasing her all along during her escape.
