Chapter 5:
Sacred Blade of Ice and Earth
After the pine tree incident, the group went back in the house and got some
rest. Zelos was still paranoid about the “rabid porcupine” so he had his Last
Fencer near his bed. Colette shared a bed with Llyod. Kratos slept in the room
next to them, making sure nothing could come and attack anybody. Sheena was
still awake. She was much to anxious to go to sleep.
She walked out on Llyod’s balcony. The house had become much
bigger, as Dirk began to expect more company. He was devoted to help take care
of the new world. Sheena was thinking about that; the new world, but she was
more deluged in the thoughts of Derris-Kharlan. What was waiting for her, the
voice, was its owner up there? She had many things passing through her head,
that she didn’t notice Kratos come up behind her.
“You should not be worried.” he said, coming closer to her.
Sheena almost jumped at him, but then calmed down, “Sorry. Ninja reflexes.
Anyway, how can’t I?”
“I’ve been to that area,” Kratos replied, “The angels are gone. I may not have
an idea what is up there, but I am sure you will be alright.”
“But it’s a huge place, there could be…” Sheena stammered.
Kratos put his hand on her shoulder, “Do not be afraid. Even though the Chosen
of Tethe’alla is foolish, he is skilled in combat.”
‘It’s him I’m worried about’ Sheena thought to herself, ’What if I mess up? What
if … just like in Mizuho, I cause another disaster?’
She had a look of fear and sadness on her face. Kratos took out something from
his clothes.
“A blade?” Sheena looked puzzled, “I fight with cards…”
“I know this.” Kratos said, “But enemies up there will do anything to slay their
opponent. This blade.. Is special. It is the Katana of the Frozen Earth”
Sheena could see this was no ordinary blade. It had an azure
blade, and a golden brown hilt. She felt its icy aura flow through her, but that
wasn’t all. She could feel a spring of life within this weapon. She had never
felt this way about any weapons; not even her cards. She knew she could handle
blades very well(she was a ninja after all) so she accepted it.
“This blade has chosen you, Sheena. Take care of it well.”
Sheena called her thanks to him as he left, and she knew the previous owner of
the blade wasn’t Kratos, now.
It was obviously Raine. She always kept things in good condition,
and on the end of the blade was a small shred of paper on the Balacruf Dynasty.
Sheena laughed, Raine holding a blade. She never saw it during the travels with
the half-elf siblings, but she knew Raine would be ready to use it to abuse
anytime. Maybe that was the reason why she had it. No, it was Raine, after all.
It probably had some historic symbolization. But then, how did Kratos get it?
It could be a mystery never solved.
A/N: Well, it will be. Thanks for reviewing MoonCannon. Keep R&R ing people.
Also, this isn't really a side quest. Read this okay?
*Raine walks up*
Raine: What gives you the right to taking my beating sword.. Err a sacred blade
away from me? *Angry look*
TimesHalt: Ok, leaving now. Bye!
Raine: Get back here!!!
