Chapter 5

Caepron heard a deep male voice in his head the moment he touched the handle of the sword. He whipped his head around looking to see who in the world was talking to him. "You foolish boy, I am right here!" Caepron turned his head towards the sword in confusion, now he started to feel a presence inside the sword. "Yes, the one speaking is I, the Sword of the Mountain!" Caepron had taken his hand off the sword now as he was baffled and startled that the sword was talking to him. "How are you speaking to me?" "I am the Heart of the Mountain, a Sword forged by the greatest being ever to exist, and also the only warrior to defeat me in battle!" The voice started laughing as he proudly described himself and how he came to be. "You wouldn't happen to be talking about Adrollis, would you?" The sword's laughter died as soon as the name was spoken. "How do you know that name, boy?" The sword's tone became threatening and a bloody aura formed around it, showing the amount of death and lives it had both witnessed and caused. Caepron, now having his bloodline changed, had a few slight changes to his attitude and personality. For one, he didn't, or better put couldn't feel fear from any being anymore, the arrogance that Adrollis had as the strongest being carried over to Caepron. Another trait is his fearlessness and courageousness in the face of an enemy. And finally, something that Adrollis developed, and something that Caepron had also slowly developed but hadn't realized yet, his love for a battle with stronger opponents. So instead of him being scared of the bloodlust that the sword was giving off, a weird, almost demonic smile slowly crept on Caepron's face, one that one day would scare any living or nonliving being that ever encountered it.

The sword at first didn't notice it, but slowly it started to notice that instead of fear in Caepron's face and stature, his face and eyes showed something that the sword hadn't seen since its original owner, it saw the bloody battle lust and hunger for a fight that Caepron knew he couldn't win. It was the look that the sword would only see on one being before going into battle, it was the face that it's master Adrollis would make. Excitement, with the bloodlust-crazed look on Caepron's face tied with the excitement, it was the scariest face anyone had ever seen on Caepron or Adrollis's opponents had ever seen. Caepron grabbed the sword and held it up in front of him like he was about to fight someone. "As the carrier of Adrollis Bloodline, and as the only being alive that has this bloodline, you shall be my sword, the sword that scares even the deadliest and scariest beings alive." Caepron didn't realize it at all, but as he started talking, an aura that he didn't know he had started to come out of him. It kept spreading and spreading, becoming so thick you could almost cut it with a knife. The sword started to tremble, but not with fear, but with excitement. It felt it, it felt that aura that Caepron was letting off, it was this arrogant aura that Adrollis had shown to many beings in his time. The sword realized that Caepron wasn't lying and that he was a descendant of Adrollis. The sword started to chuckle as it realized that life was about to get fun again. "Boy, as a being that was beside Adrollis until he died, I have seen many things, beings fall, empires rise and disappear, and I have been waiting for someone to come along and make life exciting again. If you think you can wield me, then follow the code." Caepron's face looked confused. "What code?" The sword chuckled and then a stately aura of a warrior burst forth, scaring anything within 100 miles away from them. "I Follow The Warriors Creed! I Will Stand For The Oppressed, To Fight Injustice, And To Light The World With A Light Of Truth. I Am The Warrior King, A Being Who Stands Above All. With This Code, I Shall Stand Before All As The Next Ancient King!" Caepron was confused, but he took a wide stance, held the sword with the tip in the ground, and looked to the sky. As he did, something inside of him started to come up, a small piece of his mind started kicking in, something that Caepron had always buried and never really looked at. The Sword felt the change and became scared, but before he could do anything, Caepron said the creed…. Or at least some sort of creed. "I Am Caepron Anderson, This Is My Creed! I Shall Bow Before None, Serve No Other, And Never Run Away. I Shall Defend My Home And Protect My People! This Is My Creed!" When this happened, lighting in the sky started to rumble, and the world's mana and magic started swirling around Caepron. The sword started laughing madly like it had seen something it should never have seen. "Boy! I like you, You have the arrogance and aura of Adrollis, I believe that you will lead the entire plane to new heights!
