Chapter 13: "The First King's Sword"

Later on that night, William explained how there is a sword that's in Bilbo's Cave and it will take a team effort to retrieve it," So we will set out before the sun comes up, in that cave can be tricky but I think we can maneuver it, Evan and I have been in there before but not too far in, So we will meet up there in a couple of hours so get some rest and be ready in the morning," said William.

So the time came, Zeph was late, " do you think he is coming?" asked Rose, " he will be here just give him a little more time," said William, soon after that Zeph appeared.

"Ok let's go," said William as they entered the cave it was pitch black so Rose used a light spell "Illuminus," said Rose and the darkness was no more, after walking for a couple of minutes they came upon a three-way, William choose the one to the far right, as they made their way through the cave the water at their feet was getting higher so Zeph parted it with air manipulation, William was excited.

" I want to learn how to do that," he said, They kept on going until they came upon a two-way, " let's go this way," said William as he was pointing left, at the end of that path there was a vast opening between that end and the entrance of the tunnel before them.

So Zeph told them to stand close to him and he used Air Sphere a ball of dense air surrounded them and it drifted over to the opening of the tunnel, " finally, we are here now," said William " What is this place?" asked Evan, William replied, "This is the tomb of the First King."

They were shocked, There was a great oval-shaped rock and a sword laying on top of it, as William made his way closer to it he triggered off a trap and two boulders were coming at him from both sides, " look out William!" shouted Rose, he evaded them by jumping into the air, they crashed together and he landed on top of them, he jumped off and where he landed triggered off another trap, the ground beneath his feet gave way.

He then used his air manipulation technique and walk across to the sword and took it up, William felt an incredible surge of power coming from the sword it surging throughout his body, then Zeph, Rose, and William saw some flashes of the past, "What was that?" Asked Rose and Zeph, "Our Future," said William.

"Let's get out of here," said William, By the time they got out half of the day had already gone, later on, that night William showed the sword to Thomas and said to him, " with this sword and the help of my family I will rebuild the kingdom," Thomas could feel the energy coming off the sword, it was intense, he asked Thomas what was his job back in the Central Kingdom, he replied,

"I was a senior captain in the King's army and I was also the trainer of new recruits,", " Okay so that explains why you're such a good teacher," said William, " yes my Prince," said Thomas " you knew I was the prince and you didn't tell me," said William, " yes but it wasn't my place to do so," said Thomas.

" I understand, thanks for training me, I want you to accompany me, Rose, and Zeph on a mission a few days from now, I want to rid the city of the soldiers that are there and liberate the people, their suffering has rested upon me," said William.

Thomas was delighted, he had always wanted something like this to happen so he was more than willing to accompany the young prince, William had already asked someone from his village to go and check out the area, how many soldiers were there, and when they changed shifts.
