Dance Of A Thousand Blades

verything as fate and finding a new life, at the same time becoming powerful and doing what is right.

Noahs eyes closed as he waited for the next part of the message from the cantankerous old man.

[Good for nothing genius, heed your mothers words, live like a coward, just like how you let a woman trick you into the closet, I bet you want that. She is alive, all Tender Knights will live, I will make sure of that. But they will die, and the whole island will be erased unless you take back what was stolen from us. If not, just go and have a family and left your Tender family to rot in the cold cursed underdark]

Noah hates this old man with passion. There were never kind words from him. The old man treats the whole family as a tool for his gain, he crushes everyone, including his parents whenever they are against him.

And, Noah has the misfortune of being his only squire which was the most horrible experience he had ever since he was born.

Everyone was proud to be a genius and happy but Noah has never considered his abnormal talent as a blessing but only a curse.

Sadly, Noah wasn just a genius fighter but also a genius when it came to cognitive ability. He matures faster than all his peers and can reason and make relative decisions that most adults could do.

For that reason, he knew, if he removed all the annoying parts of his grandfathers message, he, Noah, was truly required to embark on obtaining whatever that was stolen to save what remains of his family.

”Underdark! The one I knew? ”

[No. That was a replica Seven Leaves made. The real one was worse!]

[Whos mission will you take? Your Mother or Grand Father?]

”What kind of question is that? my mom, of course… ”

[Well, I guess Im not needed]

”… The old bastard just emphasized what she said! ” Noah said as he made a fist. His stamina was recovering but he can fight without taking a pill. But fighting wasn what worried him, it was how he could go about finding the whole damn thing.

[Hmm. What do you mean!]

”Your brain, if you have any, can read between the lines of that magnificent woman. So shut off and tell me how to do all this

[Even your Grandfather shows me respect, kid]

Noah just then turned and went back to the town. He began to think of ways to gain information.

He might be strong but unnecessary killing might not be the answer to finding the items. He doesn even know what it was!

[You are hard to deal with]

Noah ignore the voice

[Fine. Im no human, and I don care about pleasantries, its just that your grandfather has ethics and I presumed you might have some. Anyway, I know the stolen items and I can feel them from miles away]

Noah stopped moving and said, ”Don talk about him. ”

[Oh! Okay! And I want you to listen to my advice. I have no power to force you, even if I have I won . My job is only a guide]

”Okay! ”

[The first thing I wanted you to do was to help me. You can do that by sitting in place and recovering your stamina.]

Noah didn do that but just threw a pill in his mouth. All his fatigue vanished and his stamina returned full.

At the same time, he felt weakened considerably. That was when something appeared out of thin air. After a closer look, Noahs eyes widened in surprise and said, ”Are you a portable tower? ”

[Yes, Im]

”Woah. I never thought we have something like you. I only read you in books! ”

[If others knew, do you think your family will be safe for long?]

Noah will have said his grandfather was strong but then he hated the man.

[Your grandfather isn the strongest in the Knighthood. He was just an Elder with countless experiences that help him out of trouble]

”Hmm! ” Noah lost interest and just walked away.

[You are going the wrong way. My scan shows me we are in the City Of Squire. Its a border city that has many towns under it, and they specialized in one thing, training squires. The next thing you should do is to get to Oak town]

”Why? ”

[Because in that direction I felt a strong connection with one of the items]

Noah nodded and then asked, ”What will I do if I reach there? ”

[Join a Knighthood!]

”Over my dead body! ”
