2 Five Swords

"I choose the five swords"

"Son are you sure. After you choose this weapon you will not easily be able to change your weapon."

"Yes, dad I am sure. I like the chaos of it."

"Well then for the next year until you turn five you will be training with our clans only other user of the five swords, he also happens to be your grandfather and one of the most powerful people in the clan. You will meet him tomorrow"

"Ok, Dad. See you tomorrow"

The next day in the morning my dad came to grab me for the first day of training. Once he got me we walked through the palace for about ten minutes until we were at the core of the entire place. As soon as we walked through an arch the world changed. On the other side of the arch, we say hills rolling into the far distance and water even past that. It was like a whole new world, but as soon as I looked up I was shattered out of that reality. The sky was a deep black void with purple and blue streaks running through it. On the other side of the gate, we saw a cottage that was nestled inside a forest. Raising above the forest a mountain rage stung up and rose into the void.

Dad and I walk to the cottage and knocked on the door

'knock knock knock'

After we knocked we waited for thirty seconds and the door swung open into the inside. We saw a main room and a kitchen followed by a hallway with three doors running through it. I assumed one was a bathroom and the other two were bedrooms. Next to the door was a man that appeared to be in his mid-forties. I knew however that he was not, as he was my grandfather.

"Gold, how are you, my boy," Grandpa said with his booming, jovial voice

"Hi, Grandfather I'm good, how are you."

"Good good, but I'm excited to start to train you. People have rarely ever chosen the five swords as they are the hardest of all the weapons to uses followed by flying knives. Are you ready to begin your training"

"Yes Grandpa, I am ready"

As soon as I said those words the best and worst time of my life started. The first day of training was hell. First, Grandpa made me run to the ocean and back. Before this, I had never trained before so it took me almost two hours to finish. Once I got back to the cottage Grandpa gave to the set of five swords that Dad had when I was choosing my weapon.

"Gold, these five swords are what we call a growth soul weapon. This means that they are both soul bound and able to grow with your strength. Soul binding means that you will now be the only wielder of these swords form now until they chose a new master to serve under. Being a growth type weapon means that the swords grow with your needs and ability. As these swords were forged by a Bear clan blacksmith with a metal affinity they are some of the strongest and sharpest blades one can own. They breached on the legendary rank for weapons. Oh and I forgot to tell you about the ranks of weapons didn't I. Well so they go from common, uncommon, rare, epic, mythical, legendary, supreme, immortal, godly, and finally primordial. The highest rank weapon the Dragon clan has is a godly weapon and it is the one that your dad has. I, in fact, don't exactly know what it is because your father has never shown anyone it but your mom. Growth type weapons have a potential. As your blades have an almost legendary potential it means that they can grow to almost reaching the legendary rank, we call this pseudo-legendary."

Once Grandpa gave me the blades he made we wear them all the time. begin a four-year-old I was about four feet tall. The five blades were currently each three feet long. All of them were an identical brushed steel and were relatively simple except for the carved inscriptions running down the blades.

For the next three month, all I did was train my body with the weight of the swords. After the three months, I grew another six in and could run from the mountains to the ocean without an issue three times. I was also doing both agility and strength training at the same time but Grandpa told me that the most important things for a five sword user are endurance speed and mental capacity. While training my body I was also training my mind. Grandpa made me while I was running to do things like math or spelling or ever sometimes reading. After a while, these became easy for me so while reading grandpa would start to have conversations with me and I was supposed to run, read, and converse at the same time. At first, this was super had but at the end of the first three months, I was rather good at it.

By the end of the year, I could wield two blades at a time without an issue. As I had not unlocked my qi or mana I could not use the other three blades but I was using them as training weights. Grandpa told me that I had reached the level of what most people would call an expert in dual wielding. As this was not my goal I didn't really care but I liked my progress.

When a year finally passed both my mom and dad came to take me back to the palace and surprisingly my Grandpa came as well. I knew that he had not come out of the pocket dimension, I found out what the world was called from grandpa, for over a hundred years. It also turns out that my grandpa is 357 years old and has 27 children: 17 boys, and 10 girls. My dad is the youngest, now 37. When we passed through the gate we were lead to giant chamber with a pedestal and glass sphere on top of it.
