********************
As Athena researched the Middle Sivan, she discovered that it was not just any ordinary sword like the great seer said. It was an ancient weapon, with a long and mysterious history. There were legends that spoke of its power, and of the two swords that were its counterparts. The Middle Sivan was said to be the sword of healing, and it was said to have the power to restore life and undo great wrongs. Its twin, the Low Sivan, was said to be the sword of destruction, and it could bring about terrible ruin.
***********
Athena was determined to find the other sword, the Low Sivan. She knew that together, the two swords could bring about great change in the world. As she continued her research, she came across an ancient text that told of a prophecy. The prophecy spoke of a time when the two swords would be reunited, and a new age would begin. Athena was convinced that she was destined to play a role in this prophecy, and she set out to find the Low Sivan.
***********
Athena's search for the Low Sivan led her to an old and crumbling library, deep in the heart of the city. She spent days scouring the dusty shelves, until she came across a small, leather-bound book. The book was old and faded, but as she opened it, she saw that it was filled with intricate illustrations and strange symbols. It was a book of magic, and it told of the sword she sought. The book told of a hidden crypt, deep underground, where the Low Sivan was said to be kept.
**************
She followed the instructions in the book, and she ventured into the dark and winding tunnels beneath the city. She walked for hours, until she came to a door of solid stone. With trembling hands, she opened the door and stepped into a cavernous room. And there, before her, was a stone pedestal, with a sword resting on top of it. The sword was long and narrow, with a blade of pure black. It was the Low Sivan, and it was just as the prophecy had described.
***********
She reached out to touch the sword, but as her fingers brushed the blade, a bright light filled the room. The sword began to glow with a white-hot light, and a voice spoke from within it. "You have come for the Low Sivan, and you have shown courage and wisdom in your journey. But to wield this sword is to accept great responsibility. Are you prepared to accept this responsibility?" Athenabhesitated, but she knew that she could not turn back now. " I am Athena" , daughter of Zara and Liam, chosen by the moon goddess to restore balance between worlds,a great responsibilities hangs on my shoulders,"yes I deserve the low Sivan,"she said".
***********"
"Very well," the voice said. "Take the Low Sivan, and wield it with care. For you are now the guardian of light and the protector of the innocent. Use the power of the sword wisely, and remember that with great power comes great responsibility." Athena lifted the sword from its pedestal, and as she did so, the cavern began to shake. A great crack appeared in the ceiling, and the walls began to crumble.
*********
As the cavern crumbled around her, Athena clutched the Low Sivan close to her chest. She could feel the power of the sword coursing through her body, and she knew that she had to escape before it was too late. She ran from the collapsing cavern, and as she did so, she felt the power of the sword guiding her. She ran through the tunnels, and as the ceiling began to collapse behind her, she found herself in a room she had never seen before. It was filled with books, and in the center of the room was a pedestal, identical to the one in the cavern.
"Another mystery to unlock"?,she asked no one in particular,while starring at her environment..
"I'm .....so tired...
