Chapter 1: The Sword

Chapter Text

"Take me up"

Kill the Sorcerer who dared to break the law.

The one who used magic, the forbidden art of all.

The magic that corrupts and twists and causes harm.

Don't think twice, this might be your one last chance.

 

"Cast me away"

To live in peace or to live in fright.

You can put me down now or later, the one choice to find.

To have a swift end or the endless battle to come.

Sooner or later he will die. Why not find peace and end it here'n now?

 

Those were the words engraved in the sword.
