Elendor was infact a great sage and also a holder of a secret ore

He stayed in the village for 3 days teaching kael about the work of blacksmith although he had magical powers kael felt a different aura from him compared to what he sees in people of the village on the last day was Elendor was set to leave he told kael that he would face challenges and when kael asked in what way he didn't answer disappearing into thine air

Kael confused went back to the workshop plundering on the words he had heard saw an ore the same as the one he saw on the Man sword like staff ,kael was confused but he felt a strange sense of connection to the ore and he forgot about the words

He then set out to explore the ore and shape It into something weild able as he heat the ore it gave a strange aura that he didn't understand but that made him more curious to shape the ore to the finest sword he can .

Kael spent three days making this sword as the ore was a different and special type when he was finally done he held the sword up it was light as a dry wood he wielded it and felt a connection to the sword

Afterwards he took it out to keep it where the knights come to up their new swords many nights came along the got attracted to the sword but non could lift it

After so many trials kael came and saw the sword still there he wondered why no one liked it not knowing it couldn't be wielded

He took it back and kept it as his own although he couldn't fight that good ,he was encouraged by the swords aura and kael also thought for the first time he wanted to weild a sword
