Chapter 2 - The black blade

As Leon was searching for a tavern to live in he saw a person by the street selling old stuff which were all rusted and useless.

" Leon gasped Wait that sword is that the one" Leon originally ignored the sword thinking of it as trash but then it caught his eye as it was glowing a reddish aura around it.

Soon he went up to the man and asked him about the price of the sword and he replied by saying " what is a child Like you going to do with the sword here rather take this candy bar and go home"

Leon just realised that he is still a 6 year old child so he tried to act cute and said" I want to buy this sword as a gift for my brother as he is going to attend the black lion academy the day after"

Swept up by the cuteness the man said "if that's the case you can have it for free I was thinking of throwing it out as it is useless"

Leon thanked the man and then ran off to the crowd thinking how did this sword end up here he recoiled I clearly remember this sword being held by my sister Celen Astion who was known as the (Northern Tigress) who slayed 21 dragons on one slash with this sword.

He could see the resemblance of the blade to the one his sister used before he regressed then he wondered about the red aura that was surrounding the blade earlier.

Soon he found a tavern to stay in. The owner was shocked when seeing a child renting a room and paying that means he will be staying at the tavern for some time.

After settling in his room he examined the rusted sword wondering how this sword became capable of killing 21 dragons in one slash he did everything he could but still he didn't get the reaction he was getting earlier when he was passing by the stall.

Then he poked his finger from a splinter by the table "ouch!! My finger " As blood was dripping from his finger it landed on the sword which released a huge amount of magic from it then it transformed into a dark substance entering his body which made him faint from the pain as he was only 6 years old.

Later when he woke up he found a tattoo on his hand shaped like a sword and the dark substance was gone. He waved his hand and out of nowhere a large black blade appeared from his hand immediately the sword shrunk befitting his body size shocked he waved his hand again and it just disappeared .

Then he thought that the sword must have attached to his body to only be triggered when he waved his hand and must have adjusted to his body. Soon he went to the forest to try out the sword and practice the manual he got from the library by subjugating monsters in the forest.

He entered the forest and was confronted by goblins blocking his way he spoke this is a perfect opportunity for me to test out the sword. He swung the sword and it sliced the goblin and the tree behind like butter.

Leon who was shocked by the sharpness of the blade didn't notice the goblin lunging from behind him which fell in it's own trap and died.

Later Leon found a area to rest and practice his swordmsnship in the forest there he noticed that there was a mansion in where no one lived and he found a note left on the door Titled [ The previous owner ] it says

"Whoever finds this mansion can keep it I have no use for it now by Razo Layren" It was spacious and had a liabary inside it full of books of magic control and faster spell casting also sprit magic .

Leon thrilled about the idea of learning magic. Started learning fire magic basics and settled in the abandoned mansion after he got his money back from the tavern also bought food and spices that can last him a long time.
