My sword is coated in a special metallic coating that makes it unbreakable. The sword is also decorated with precious stones that you have never seen before. The first lesson…raise the sword!

"Excellent. Now, let's proceed with our journey. Kael?" The young beautiful boy I remembered from yesterday approached, holding an object draped in maroon fabric. "Your Majesty." "My swords," the king demanded. Kael handed over the bundle, and the king carefully unwrapped it, revealing two impeccably polished swords. The blades caught the morning light, shimmering brilliantly. A lump formed in my throat as I pondered whether the Dark King possessed the ability to read thoughts. But he was truly an unpredictable man and killing him wasn't going to be easy.

But Luna's unwavering determination never wavered, and they pressed on. Suddenly, they came upon a massive chamber, its walls adorned with intricate symbols and ancient markings. In the center of the room, atop a stone pedestal, lay a majestic sword, pulsating with raw energy. Luna's eyes widened with recognition. "The Sword of Light," she whispered. "Legend has it that this ancient artifact has the power to banish darkness." Amelia approached the sword cautiously, her hands trembling with anticipation.

One of the hands moved up my back. I felt Adrian's presence behind me, rage and panic wafting from him. "STO-" A sharp intake of breath was heard from everybody when I grasped the sword beneath me and cut straight through the ankles of one dark one. It fell over, black blood spraying over me once again. All the other dark ones jumped back in shock.

It was peaceful. "You've learned the lesson." She reached for my hand. The moment our fingers touched, she dissolved into silver light. The darkness inside me disappeared. Not because it had been destroyed. Because it had been accepted. The illusion shattered. I stood once more before the Guardian. He smiled proudly. "You understand."

He twisted the blade cruelly and her blood pooled on the floor as its metallic scent lingered in the air.

“It responds to intent, to truth. If you doubt its power, see for yourselves.” Lyra closed her eyes, focusing on the images she wanted to project - fragments of her vision that the stone had revealed: the looming army of the Shadow Order, her father trapped and fighting for survival, and the kingdom itself under siege. The stone’s light intensified, casting golden rays across the room. The air thrummed with energy as shapes began to coalesce above her palms, forming vivid, shimmering images.

"If you allow yourself to survive here any longer, he will only break you down until there is nothing left. You need to beat Archie to the punch. If your entire existence is going to be reduced to endless torture in this house, then it is better... it is so much better to just end it now. Let the suffering finally stop..."

There’s no room for mercy here. “Please, just give up already. I just want—” she suddenly stopped talking when I swung my sword to her chest and was able to hit the umbra stone hiding in her cleavage. I held the handle of my sword tightly and straightly thrust it to the center of her chest without any hesitation. My weapon reached the stone and a sound of a broken glass followed. The collision caused a strong explosion that made thrown away into the air.
