Swords

The next day, Kaji got permission for Roswall to go to the place where his village once was. He wanted to see if there were items he could salvage, maybe a memento of his or the twins' parents. He wanted to take Ram, and Rem with him, but after thinking about it he decided against it for now. After all, they were still kids, and this might bring back memories they didn't want to remember. Kaji was thinking of bringing them here next time he goes here.

The travels didn't last long; it took him a couple of days to reach the forest where his village once was. After entering the forest, Kaji walked around while remembering his childhood. He wanted to return here because he remembered the chief of the village. Telling them stories about a katana, a sword that could cut through anything and everything a sword wielded by their ancestor.

Kaji couldn't just leave the sword in the hands of those maniacs, but he doubted they had the brain capacity to search the village for anything of use. While walking through the forest he saw his village, he quickened his step. Soon, he stood at the entrance to his village, he could see burned houses all around, some were still standing, some were nothing but black burned coal.

Kaji started walking around the village, but he was surprised for one reason, he didn't find the corpses of the Oni tribe. He was confused, after all, the weapons were still laying on the dusty ground, while not even one body could be seen. But his scenes picked something up, he could feel some sort of energy. He started walking in the direction of the energy, and soon he stood in front of a small temple, where the Oni prayed and made sacrifices to their ancestors.

The temple was small, its size was about that of a tiny shed, Kaji entered the temple and felt the energy in abundance. He didn't understand why, he felt this now, but it felt like mana, but different. After looking around Kaji didn't find anything that was giving off energy, he only found some old books and some random stuff.

Kaji decided to sit down and calm down, thinking about the story that grandpa chief told him before. While deep in his own thoughts, Kaji didn't notice the energy he felt before, starting to swirl around him. It was as if the energy was inspecting him, and soon under the floorboards, a red light started to shine.

Kaji couldn't think of anything useful and opened his eyes, to see a bright red light shining from below him. He took a step back and smashed the floorboards, he didn't care much for the floor, as he reached out for the source of this light. He pulled out a black box, while through the small spaces red light shined.

He didn't hesitate and opened it immediately, as the box was opened Kaji could see two different swords wrapped in white cloth. He unwrapped the cloth to see an ordinary-looking katana, he looked at the other sword to see a strange-looking sword without a sheet. The second sword had five different runes engraved on it, Kaji didn't know what they meant but, the moment he touched the sword he fell unconscious.

The moment he lost consciousness, the swords started floating in the air, as some sort of energy started binding them to the boy. After a couple of hours, Kaji woke up to see an empty black box, the swords were nowhere to be found. He started wondering what happened, but decided to try and feel the energy he felt before.

He tried to sense the energy, but it was gone. After a couple of minutes he realized that he knew the names of the swords, but how did he know that? Kaji decided to try and say the names out loud.

"Yorukaze, Ryuusei no Ikari!" Kaji said and the two different swords appeared in his hands.

The more ordinary-looking blade Yorukaze, the blade of the night wind. Kaji somehow knew what the blade could do, this sword can manipulate wind, and the darker the night the stronger the wind. The second sword that looked more demonic, Ryuusei no Ikari, was a sword that could absorb the blood of one's enemies to become stronger, letting the wielder control blood and shadows.

Kaji was surprised by their ability, when he thought about some of the most powerful beings in this world. There was nothing to brag about right? If only Kaji knew the true power of these swords.

After calming down, Kaji thought of the swords disappearing and they vanished. Kaji went outside the temple, to once again lay his eyes upon the burned village. He started looking through every house, to see if he could find anything of importance. After a couple more hours, Kaji had collected everything he could find. He collected books, scrolls, and anything he deemed important.

After he was done with his search, he decided to go back to the Mathers mansion. It took him some time to go back, but the travel to the village was worth every minute of his time. Now Kaji was a lot more confident, he had two decently powerful swords, all that was left was learning how to use them.
