The Art Of Sword

Sunz looks around and all he sees is a room covered in white with a window looking out to all the darkness and asks the other version of himself “Who are you and where am I”, and he answers with “I am not you, I am your ability so called me Sword and we are inside your mind right now”.

Sunz: So is this the first time we come in contact?

Sword: Come here sit down and I’ll tell you your history with me

Sunz agrees come sit on the chair and Sword starts to show the important events throughout Sunz’s life with the projector. The screen shows 3 important events. First before Sunz obtains his wooden sword, second is the rainy day, and finally today.

Sword: let’s start off with how we first interact do you remember what happened before you obtained the sword?

Sunz: I obtained the sword when I was 3 from the doctor because I told Mom and Dad that I had a dream where I was some cool-looking guy holding a sword and I was fighting many people who also wielding a sword.

Sword: You see anything weird about it?

Sunz clasped his hands together, rested his chin on his wrist thinking for a sec, and said: I don’t think so kids have dreams all the time.

Sword smirk: Yes kids can dream but at 3 years old you can remember the dream and describe it that accurately and can still remember it until today.

Sunz surprise: Okay that is very strange but how is that our first interaction?

Sword changes to a new slide now on the screen is the picture of the cool-looking guy in Sunz’s dream: As you can see this is me I was showing you who you can become and we called this “The Tutorial”.

Sunz understands what’s going on but still has some questions: But how am I supposed to know that I have an ability when my dream is just like an action movie?

Sword changes the slide to “Step to obtain an ability” which contains pictures and arrows pointing in one direction the pictures go by order of a kid sleeping =) the kid dreaming about fire =) kid waking up =) kid have fire hand.

Sword: I know you understand what this means but I will focus on 2 pictures “Kid Dreaming About Fire and Kid Have Fire Hand” We can control what your dream will be before you obtain your power but that also means we can make the dream as chaos or simple as we want, so the example here kid dream about fire have fire ability but the kid could also dream that they touch their parents and the parents turn to ashes or the kid dream about having someone showing them how to use their ability.

Sword: But it also depends on the ability because if the ability is complex the dream doesn’t show all of its potential, even we don’t know its full potential.

Sunz: Wow you are good at explaining this!

Sword: Well it’s only the general but thank you!

Sunz: So the next two events are what unlock the potential?

Sword change slide to rain event: For the rain event it’s different, it reignites your ability because your ability wasn’t in the right habitat and you were clueless about your own ability.

Sunz points at the slide: So on that day when I saw what Jihu did with my sword the ability was telling me that, I could do it too and I can see the world with a new perspective.

Sword congratulates Sunz for his fast learning: That right just like all genius you were suffering from burn out and all you need was the inspiration to reveal a new path or in gaming terms if you're tired of playing as a sneaky assassin then change to being an 800 lb gorilla that eats RPGs for breakfast.

Sunz laughs: Nice reference so now what about the final event it's still clueless to me.

Sword change slide to a video: So before I start the video I will tell you the basics of your ability ok?

Sunz nods and Sword starts listing: You can understand sword skill very fast, you have a higher chance of winning against opponents wielding sword, and… you can copy abilities.

Sunz wondering: The last part you sound unsure. Does my ability have an unknown skill you don’t know?

Sword starts the video showing Sunz his match with Unknown and stops before it ends: Apparently, you can copy people's abilities and use your sword as the catalyst.

Sunz: Ok so that's why you sound unsure but I guarantee that I can’t copy anyone's ability. But were you the one that was controlling my body during that fight?

Sword: Yep and I’ll tell you this, your body is not strong enough to perform these complex skills it was all me your ability so I suggest that you start training now so you can constantly perform those skills.

Sunz: You’re right and now with a clear view of my journey I can’t wait to see the result with each step.

Sword: Well class is over do you have any questions for me?

Sunz: Will I be able to see you again since you are my mentor after all?

Sword: There are chances that you might see me again in your dream because that is how we communicate after all.

Sunz and Sword shake hands and everything disappears bringing Sunz back to reality and the first thing he saw was blood dripping on the ground and down to his sword and when he looks up he sees the Butler one hand pushing Unknown back away from his attack and one hand with a bloody white glove holding on to the sword blade.

The Butler said with a calming voice “Young master are you ok” and looked at Sunz seeing that he was confused about what just happened and called Jihu to help Sunz “ Young man come help your friend he is pretty shocked about everything that just happened”, Jihu comes over remove the sword from Sunz hand, put it back to the sheath and start repeating “Sunz you ok man, can you hear me” while checking on his pulse, pupil and see that he is ok just a bit shock.

The Butler takes Unknown back to the car sits him down and gets the emergency kit to treat both of them and walks back with the kit to check on Sunz and tells Jihu to bring Sunz into the car so we all can have a chat.
