I'm releasing my Chapter 1 of Clash of the Swords. Hope you guys like it, enjoy
Chapter 1: Chosen
I’m hiding. Hiding from what or from whom. I can’t tell you my current position or why I hiding. Just know I’m hiding. I can’t make any sudden movements or I’m............... I’ll just leave it at that.
I’m trying to feel if anyone is skulking around the boulder I’m hiding behind. No one. I then tell myself not to peek or look but I couldn’t control myself. My body stiffened as I slowly turned to peek around the boulder and I saw a dark figure run from one tree to another. My heart skipped a beat and my right leg moved. Even though I knew it wasn’t loud, in my head it sounded like a tree collapsing.
“Who was that?” I said to myself. “Did they find me?”
Then I heard a noise that I thought was a wild animal but was best fit to be soft footsteps .
“Ah, man.” I whispered softly. “I gotta run for it.”
The footsteps got closer, like a lion after its prey. My instincts told me to run and be able to live for another day but I didn’t move. I eased over to see who was there. Twenty feet away was a person. Our eyes met or at least I thought they did. But that didn’t matter because I my cough gave it away right after that. A soft cough but enough to be give away where I was hiding.
“Holy shit.” I said to myself. “ I have to move now!”
But before that action found time to go along with the thought I felt a shadow over me. Suddenly a hand grabbed my shoulder. I let out a loud wail. My voice echoed throughout the woods. I sat still as the figure chuckled and said these very clear words, “Finally got you Clash.” I jumped away from the his grip and flew backwards on the ground. Only until I looked at the guy face did I smile.
“Charm, come on bro!” I said jokingly. “You didn’t have to scare me like that.”
“Yeah I did,” Charm replied laughing. “ I didn’t want to take it too easy on you. I mean you scared the shit out of me last time. Jumping from a tree and tackling me. We were only playing hide-and-go-seek.”
“Whatever, did you find Victoria yet?” I said as I dust off my shorts and stretched.
“Nope, but I think I know where she’s at.” Charm said in his Mr.Obvious voice.
“Think, we know where she’s at.” I said smiling as we walked to find Victoria.
You see, Charm was my teammate as well as my friend. His blue eyes and blonde hair made a lot of girls like him. We both studied the art of the sword under Master Wu. Master Wu was our sensi. He was chosen to train us secretly with the monks from the Hiruzen Flame Temples. I know, you don’t understand a thing. I’ll tell you actually what the monks told us. Many, many (yeah, this long), many years ago the world was encountered with a great evil in the form of a man. His name was Yan. Yan and his army was taking over the world with brutal force. Taking nations and rights aways from the people. There’ were 5 nations in all. They were called the Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, and Earth Nations. Each nation resembled the type of swordsmen in that nation. Yan was close to achieving his goal until 3 legendary swordsmen with special abilities went against his power and were able to defeat him and his army. They returned love and goodness back into into the world. Due to the divisions of the Nations from this short war they decided to combine all the 5 Nations into one. Thus creating The United Nations.
After creating the United Nations and new balance,1 of the 3 swordsmen noticed that all the worlds evil did not vanish with Yan. It was born inside men kind in the form of hatred, greed, and lust for power. And if fomented it could become a threat again. So they warned the United Nations of this new evil presence and to seek them in their youth whenever the time came. Without knowing what this meant the United Nations continued on with their new lives. Even though things still looked good after the deaths of the three swordsmen greed, land, wealth, and power divided the United Nations which caused them to split back into Elemental Nations. But one nation, the Lighten Nation, couldn’t just have their own land. Instead they pillaged other Nations for gold, more land, and power. And as their power grew the numbers who feared them did too. To this day they are longing to have all the Nations under their control. With only the Fire and Earth Nation to go there mission was near completion. So the monks of the Hiruzen Fire Temple gathered and began to question what the 3 legendary swordsmen meant by “seek them in their youth” many years ago. Only until Master Wu came to the answer that it would most liking mean the 3 swordsmen were reincarnated into the new youth or children of the generation. With this as their only idea the search began. The monks traveled around the world for years in search for the new children. Looking for similarities, they found a connection between Charm, Victoria, and I. When the Lightning Emperor found out about this plan he immediately sought out the 3 legendary swords that the greats used to fight the evil. Those three swords were scattered across the globe in the deepest and dangerous locations on Earth. He also sent his army out for us too. Little did he know that the search for the swords were done years ago, when the previous fire monks noticed the return of evil has started. With the swords and the 3 reincarnation of the greats “we” were ready to start our training. The monks took us to a hidden area where Master Wu would train us in the Iza Forest which is located in the Fire Nation. And this is where the new chapter is written, or so says the monks.
So yeah, we’re suppose to challenge the Emperor's power and army in order to restore balance to the world. I don’t know how 3 teenagers are going to do that when we still haven’t even touch the three swords. We’re still being tested to see who’s going to get what swords. I turned to Charm as he began to say something.
“So who do think is going to get the lightningflamerita sword?” He said kicking the dirt as we walked. “I mean Master Wu did say that today he was going to choose who best fit it. Personally, I like the lightning and fire combo idea. Hopefully either you or I get it.”
“Yeah, cause if Victoria gets the two type sword all hell is gonna to break loose.” I said laughing. “ But you seem to be more of the earth type swordsmen you know. What’s it called, the uh, earth, earth-something.”
“The Windearthrita sword.” Charm said correcting me. “But I’m not that much into earth. I like complete force and striking first. And that quality fits the lightningflamerita sword. We’re suppose to meet Master Wu at the temple when he rings the bell right.”
“Yeah,” I said as we started turned west and went into that direction. “I bet Victoria is gonna get the Aquarita sword. She’s going to get the lamest element of all.”
“Water isn’t that lame bro.” Charm replied.
“Okay, so I’m going to slap you with a water blast.” I said. “Wow, I’m so wet. So cool. Hell no.”
“True, true.” Charm said back. “ It seem to be the weakest element unless you can really use it. That’s probably why that Nation fell first.”
“Probably.” I said looking up to see if we were close to the spot Victoria always hide at. “And the two strongest nations still stand. Fire and Earth. Fire represent all day bro.”
“Repping the Earth Nation all day son,” Charm said throwing up the Earth Nation symbol.
“Whatever.” I said nodding my head. “We’re here.”
By here I meant the tree she climbs and hide in every time when we went off to play games. It was a rather large tree that had the names “Charm + Victoria” carved into it. The names were rather big, like she wanted someone to see it. Charm leaned against the tree and looked up. I looked up too.
“Oh where or where is Victoria,” Charm said in a funny but fake voice.
“Yeah!” I added. “Is she in this same tree on the same branch looking down on us in the same spot.”
“You found me Charm!!!!” A feminine voice yelled.
Just then Victoria jumped from the tree right in front of Charm. Her blackish -blue hair smelled good as it straightened itself out.
“Found,” I said. “More like targeted.”
“Was I talking to you.” Victoria said in a rude voice. She then turned back to Charm. “How did you find me?”
[email protected]
Charm backed away even though Victoria tried to seduce him by pressing her body against his. Which was typical. If I was Charm, it would have been a different story.
“You already know how.” Charm said nodding shamefully. “No point in hiding in the same spot.”
“Treated,”I said under a quick cough.
“Clash, just uhh.” Victoria said ignoring me. “Charm, but seriously, I hide in a different tree. Did you see the carve I did, its in a different spot. So a different tree.”
“No,”I said. “Same spot equals same tree.”
“Lets go guys.” Charm replied leaning up from the tree. “We should be heading for the temple soon. The bell sound should be-.”
Suddenly a loud bell rung loudly. It ringed out about 3 times and that was it. My ears were still ringing after it.
“Damn,” I said. “Looks like we got a psychic here guys.”
Charm smiled. “Guess I am.”
We both started to walk away with Victoria walking behind Charm. As we walked through the woods I realized that it wasn’t as scary as most people say it is. It’’s actually interesting. Wild life is great. But then Victoria started to say something. And whenever she talks it’s either about her love for Charm or how much she hate me.
“So Charm, “Victoria said. “ I want you to get the lightningflamerita sword. You’ll be able to beat the Emperor with it.”
“Oh hell no.” I said getting a little angry cause I heard this about 50 times already. “Why do Charm have to get that sword. I’m just as good as he is. Damn, you’re ignoring as hell.”
“Charm, in your dreams you are better, wait. Not even in your dreams are you better than Charm.”Victoria said while rolling her eyes.
“Ya know what, I don’t give a care.” I said. “Go ahead and talk about ya love for Charm. Like its not obvious he doesn’t like you.”
“Victoria,” Charm said. “I’ not feeling it right now. Damn guys, stops arguing,. Victoria I know you want me to get that sword. Can we get there first.”
Victoria became quiet after that comment. In silence we kept walking. I guess the pressure of what sword we were going to get was getting to Charm. Because it was surely getting to me. So basically 2 of us are going to get a sword that had 2 types while the other gets the lame water type. Hopefully Victoria gets that one.
Once the forest started to opened up we started to get a view of the temple. The Caiz Temple was surround by the forest we were playing in now. And since the temple was in the middle of it, it was a great spot to stay hidden from the Emperor. Plus it wasn’t even marked on any map which made it better. As we started going downhill toward the temple we start to see the gates and brick wall that surrounded the it. Once we got there we walked through the gates and into the Courtyard. The Courtyard was where we trained. And that just including running and fencing. It was filled with our training equipment. Just seeing this made me shake because I was nervous. My life was about to be determined in the next 20 minutes. I managed to continue walking.
“Lets check the main hall.” I said since Master Wu said the Monks would also be here. They agreed and we walked into the temple doors. The temple itself wasn’t that big. It was about 50 feet in height and the 100 feet in width. The courtyards were just 50 feet by 50 feet also. They had gardens and bushes planted to have a nice scenery. It seemed to have one of those ancient castle looks, with things made out of gold and expensive rugs and curtains, and couches. I mean this temple was where one of the legendary swordsmen came to relax from the world in the time of peace. Good thing only the monks knew where this place was. Hell, I would steal from here.
Once we walked in we saw a 5 foot man with short white hair wearing a plain white robe. He was talking to 2 monks. Master Wu stopped as he motioned to us to come over. The monks turned and I recognized them. They were Karze and Olito. They had on their yellow and red clothings and were completely bald. I never understood the bald part but who cared. And because they were balded it was hard to tell the difference between them.They were two of the 5 monks that transported us to this temple. They were responsible of keeping us safe. This time they didn’t have their swords with them. But that was when I noticed they were carrying 3 swords.in their hands, each of them in there on case. Olito had 2 swords in his hands, one had a shiny blue case while the other had a green and light blue case. Karze has the red and yellow case with the sword. The handle had an epic design. With the red and yellow engraved and going around the handle. The shine on the yellow made it look way better. The other swords had their own designs on the handle too. So it was obvious to know which one was which.
Victoria, Charm and I bowed ½ way and the monks did the same.
“Hope you three been well.” Olito said smiling. “ It seems that way by the smiles on your faces.”
“You all waited for this day since last month.” Karze said. “And if your training with Master Wu has gone well then you surely will be able to use the swords you are given.”
“We trained long and hard for this.” I replied. “ Can’t wait for the decision.”
“I’ve been well,” Charm said acting all proper.
“Same here.” Victoria said.
“So let’s get down to business.” Master Wu said. “Should we start the decisions?”
“Yes, no time to waste.” Karze said as he straightened up. “Let’s start.”
“Master Wu,” Olito replied. “Since you know them better you can begin with the descriptions while we announce each when you are done. You can start with Victoria. Since you all are trained in the basics of swordsmanship the swords should recognize your energy and glow.”
That sounded weird but I stood still, holding in everything I wanted to say.Victoria jumped at the sound of her name but calmed down.
“Sure.” Master Wu said as he walked in front of us since we were all lined up. “But first let me review some things to you all.”
The monks nodded in agreement and Master Wu went on. The sun shined brightly through the window. Signifying that it was morning.
“As you know there are 5 different types of elements that a sword can have.” Master Wu began as we nodded in agreement. “And for each sword there is a stone that is put inside each sword. But in these 3 swords there are no stones. Your power inside of you is stronger than any other.It just that you haven’t unlocked it yet. But that power will awaken the sword you’ll get. Even by having that power it’ll still recognize it. So don’t worry about it not being unlocked yet. Are you following?”
We all said yes in unison. The monks smiled and he continued.
“Now there are 3 levels to every swords. After each level is unlocked the sword transforms into its next form. This differentiate the weak from the strong. Level 3 is the strongest and its rare for most swordsmen to get to that level since it takes years to master a sword element. Your swords are in its level 1 stage because when the Greats died it transformed back, and the monks from that time hid them around the world. Even though are all will have a level one sword it is said that your abilities are even stronger than a level 2 swordsmen. It is said that it’s faster to unlock these swords than any others. The monks and I are all level 3 swordsmen, so you are well protected.” Master Wu breathed and continued talking. “Now there are also secrets to unlock the swords true power. That you will have to find out. But this is important. Even though you all will stop this new evil presence together. The one who have the lighten flame rita sword is destined to fight the Lightning Emperor. Why? Because only the lightenflamerita sword was able to fight Yan sword and win.”
“So you’re saying the other 2 are just back-up.” I said confused.
“No, I’m saying that the LFR sword is stronger than the others. And its power was only able to match Yan sword.”
“Then it’ll be easier to defeat the emperor since he don’t have Yan sword. We can all fight him and whup his ass.” Charm said giggling.
I agreed with Charm. If the Lightning Emperor went against all three of us he’ll lose. Its not like he had darker evil than Yan had himself.
“That’s where you’re wrong Charm.” Master Wu said. “He does have Yan sword. And since he can fully control all of his abilities, he can control its Dark Magic.”
“What!!!?” We all said together. Now this just changed the game. If he had Yan sword and unlocked the darkness power this was a whole different battle. The Greats were way older than us when they fought him, and 2 of them almost lost. And as we speak Yan was conquering countries of the two remaining Nations. Our time was running out.
I’m hiding. Hiding from what or from whom. I can’t tell you my current position or why I hiding. Just know I’m hiding. I can’t make any sudden movements or I’m............... I’ll just leave it at that.
I’m trying to feel if anyone is skulking around the boulder I’m hiding behind. No one. I then tell myself not to peek or look but I couldn’t control myself.

I agreed with Charm. If the Lightning Emperor went against all three of us he’ll lose. Its not like he had darker evil than Yan had himself.
“That’s where you’re wrong Charm.” Master Wu said. “He does have Yan sword. And since he can fully control all of his abilities, he can control its Dark Magic.”
“What!!!?” We all said together. Now this just changed the game. If he had Yan sword and unlocked the darkness power this was a whole different battle. The Greats were way older than us when they fought him, and 2 of them almost lost. And as we speak Yan was conquering countries of the two remaining Nations. Our time was running out.
