The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

• Using A Sword

The sun hung high above the premises of the Daligarth's Academy For Incarnates. A light breeze rustled the grass of the fields which were filled with Student Bearers training, playing or conversing in cliques.

Spheris stood in the open field, clutching a practiced sword in his hand. It felt awkward, heavy as usual, and very unwieldy — like it wasn't meant for him.

Ever since the Abyss, Spheris had struggled with swords, and it was frustrating. Each time he picked one up, it seemed to pull him off balance, throwing off his swift, fluid fighting style.

But Spheris was one to see a difficulty as a challenge, and so he was set on mastering how to use a sword no matter what. At least to be sure he wasn't missing out on an efficient weapon.

Spheris had finally admitted to himself that if he was going to Craft a weapon, he needed to at least understand how to use a sword. That way he could know whether or not it would be a mistake to choose another weapon.
