Hope you ll enjoy it and don't hesitate to leave a comment. Enjoy !
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
Over two thousand years, this is the time I spent in this world, waiting for my mistress to find me. A few years after being separated from her, I awoke, I was alone in a strange room full of ancients things in the form of a sword. I later learned that it was a storage room.
Sometimes someone came and threw some used furniture, weapons, armor... Many centuries passed, I was alone in this room, nobody ever noticed me.
One day, fell through a the roof, it was a black haired young man in his teens. He was covered of injuries all over his body and his sword was broken.
Another man with two big horns on his forehead came down from the hole with a purple sword tainted with blood, it was a man with a large and muscular body.
Seeing him from afar would make you think he was ruthless and wicked; but this man was crying and from his voice was filled with regret.
Demon man : " I am sorry... I don't want that, but this is for my country's survival. Why must we wage war just for our gods sake ? Why won't they let us live in peace ? "
Human : " I understand Demon King, but I still can't die here; I have peoples waiting for me at home. " He said before taking a lying sword on the ground and swinging it at the demon.
The Demon King only blocked it with his purple sword and the human's sword shattered, but he didn't give up and took many others sword and tried again and again. The eyes were filled with pity and sadness, it was obvious that he didn't want to kill that man.
After many attempt, the man finally grabbed me, I was covered with dust because of the centuries I passed in this room. The man swung me and I collided with the demon's purple sword, I felt that it was trying to suck my power.
However I didn't let it do that, it's power was weak; I had inside me the residue of power left by my mistress training and when her mother made me. I used this power to suck all the energy who was inside the demon's sword.
His sword's color turned from purple to white before breaking, everything happened within a few second and the strength of the man's swing made me slash through the demon's muscular body. His body fell to the ground, he desperately tried to get up but it was in vain.
Demon King : " I can't fall here, my peoples life depend on me ! "
The human walked to him and placed me at his throat.
Human : " I am sorry but be relieved, I will delay the information about your death. You people will have enough time to prepare their defense. This should dissuade the human from attacking. " The Demon King smiled at the human.
Demon : " Thanks you youngster... "
The man cut the demon's throat to shorten his suffering and slashed one of his horn.
A few years passed since then, the man lived in a forest near his country for some years before going back. The demons already prepared for an assault, the chances for the humans to win was near zero, when he went back to his country, he told his story to everyone.

He was hailed as an Hero and founded his own country, and I was venerated as an holy sword. Of course he omitted the fact where he delayed the information and the kindness of the demon king. At his death, he gave me to his son who did the same for many generation, within all those centuries I saw the true face of humanity.
The church always tried to obtain me, saying I was the creation of their goddess. They sent many assassin to kill my wielder, but only a few fell; they were all trained to be great swordsman.
I sometime fell in the hand of some vicious prince who I killed by absorbing all their mana, they though it was a disease.
Within all those years, I only waited for one person to come and claim me, the only one allowed to truly wield me. After living five centuries in the country they named after the name they gave me, Kiel; I went to sleep, waiting for my true owner to appear... Until this day in that cave.
I felt her power flowing into me, when I woke up, I recognized her. Two thousand years passed since the rift, and she almost didn't change... She maybe grew about a few centimeters, but I knew it was her, my Mistress.
She imbued me with Dark and Light mana and swung me against the dark sword of the Dragon King, I absorbed the dark mana of his sword and passed through it. When my mistress though it was over, I felt something strange coming from behind her; the Dragon King used the mana in his own soul to make an Earth Spike and threw it at my Mistress.
Kiel : " Behind thou Mistress ! " But she was too slow, the spike would have touched her before she could react.
I used all the mana she used on me and transformed into a human form and blocked the spike.
Mistress : " You... Who are you ? "
Kiel : " This one waited for thee for over two thousand years... Mistress. "
Mistress : " What do you mean ? "
Kiel : " It's normal that thou don't remember this one, when you lost me in the rift I still didn't have a conscious. But this one still remember everything from back then... If thee still didn't understand, the name those human gave to me is Kiel. The holy sword Kiel. "
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
After listening to Kiel's story, the others who were fighting against the Dweners outside came.
Isendel : " Did you manage to kill the dark wizard ? Every Dweners outside turned into dust. "
Shina : " It wasn't a dark wizard but the spirit of Shoral. "
Isendel : " Shoral ?! You mean the Dragon King Shoral ? I see, I finally understand his goal. He wanted to get his body back from us. By the way, who is that woman behind you ? " She said pointing at Kiel.
Isendel : " Her soul is strange, I never saw something like this; it look similar to a dragon one, but stronger. It's form is also somewhat different so I don't think it's a dragon. "
Estiel : " Why does she have Kiel in her hands ? " She said staring at her.
Kiel : " May this one introduced herself mistress ? "
Shina : " ... Please do so. " Her manner of talking feel somewhat strange.
Kiel : " This one's name is Kiel, it is the name you human gave me. Nice to meet you. "
Estiel : " ... You expect me to believe you ? "

Kiel : " Maybe this will convince you. " She said before turning back into her katana in my hands.
Estiel : " Okay, now I have an headache... We came here to beat a dark wizard who terrorized the forest, and now I learn that our holy sword transformed into an human and she call Shina her master... "
Fiona : " At least, funny things always happen when you stay with Shina. We will never be bored. " She said trying to cheer Estiel who looked as if she had given up on life.
Estiel : " I wish I had half of your optimism. "
Shina : " Well then, we still need to find the first group of elves and Arias's father. "
Arias : " It's useless... they are already dead. Dweners are creature made by infusing dark magic in a corpse. "
Shina : " You mean that every Dweners we killed were the corpse of your father's group ? "
Arias : " Exactly. " He said with a few tears coming out of his eyes.
Isendel : " Now that we are done here, I am returning to my kingdom. Take care. "
Eniel : " Let's return too. "
When we returned to the village, the villagers who stayed behind welcomed us; they were all worried about our situation. The elves who went fighting were mostly teenagers and injured peoples who couldn't go with the first group.
We celebrated our victory all the night, it was the first time since I came here that I had so much fun. In the few days I stayed here, I had to make the round with Arias while Estiel and Fiona were playing around... I wanted to join them.
I only remember half of the party, I remember dancing with Estiel and Fiona, but mostly with Eniel who chased all the boys. After that Kiel came to me with something some juice and after that I don't remember what happened. I just woke up embraced between Eniel and Kiel who wouldn't let me go.
I tried to ask around what happened yesterday, but nobody answered; all the villagers became red when they looked at me while the woman just hugged me with a red face saying yesterday I was sooooo cute, even Estiel and Fiona did the same... Seriously what happened ?
While we were preparing to depart, Eniel asked the villagers to give her many bottle of the juice I drank, she told me to drink it whenever I was thirsty. But as she said that she had a little smirk on her normally expressionless face. They all agreed with her... Someone tell me what happened !
Arias : " Do you really want to leave ? You can stay with us if you want, you don't have to go. " Arias said somewhat sad.
Shina : " I know somewhat who is worried about us and searching all over the world, I need to find him... Also who know what he may do if he doesn't find me. "
Arias : " I am sorry, you may be strong but you still are a group of child; your parents must be worried. We gathered a lot of provision, it should last a month. If you continue walk one week in direction of the north, you will find Delfia, one of the biggest elven city. From there you may find someone who will accept to bring you back to your home. I wish we could give you some money, but we secretly live in the forest; we don't have even one piece. "
Shina : " You don't have to worry, we'll somehow manage. "
Elder : " You may try the Adventurer Guild, you should be able to make some money there. "
Fiona : " Thanks for everything, we will go now. "
Arias : " Come back whenever you want, for us you are now part of this village. "
Estiel : " Good bye. "
All the village was present for our depart, they all bowed to us while we were walking; they children who were Estiel's and Fiona's playmate were all crying; they waited until we were out of they sight to finally disperse.
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
On the road, we encountered many dangers; we were ambushed by many monster, but after looking at Eniel most of them ran away.
Fiona : " I never heard of monster running away. "
Eniel : " I recognize this place, this is where I trained; they saw me back then. "
Estiel : " Saw you do what ? " She asked suspicious
Eniel : " ... "
Estiel : " Why do you keep quiet ? "
Eniel : " It's better if you don't know. "
Fiona : " Estiel, give up; there are thing you are too young to know. "
Estiel : " You are younger than me ! "
Shina : " Let's camp here today. " I said pointing at a open place nearby, the sun was already almost set and we can't move the night with the monster nearby.
We set up our tents and started to eat, but I can their eyes on me.
Shina : " D-Do you need something ? " Their stare is scaring me.
Kiel : " Mistress, you must be thirsty, allow this one to give you a drink. " She said as she gave me a cup of juice.
Shina : " I-Isn't that the juice you gave me yesterday at the party ? "
Kiel : " No, this one is different and totally safe; you don't have to worry. "
Eniel : " You can drink it Shina. " She said approving.
Nuya : " It is a hundred perrcent safe ! "
Shina : " I don't like the look in your eyes girls... "
Fiona : " You don't have to be afraid, we can drink some with you. " She said with her scary smiling face.
Shina : " You only show this smile when you want to pick on me ! " I said convinced.
Estiel : " She won't drink it... No choice girls, plan B ! "
They all jumped on me, immobilizing me. Fiona came to me with the cup in her hands.
Fiona : " Now be a good girl Shina and open large. "
Shina : " I hate this smile !! "
Estiel forced my mouth open and pinched my nose and Fiona forced me to drink the juice... It's taste is really sweet.
They all released me, looking at me and expecting something... I feel hot... What is that juice
Shina : " *Nyaaaaa* Big sister... Could you give me someone to drink please. " I said looking at her, my voice feel weird.
Nuya : " Success ! "
Eniel : " Here take some water. " She said as she gave me cup.
Fiona : " Why doesn't she normally act like this, her teary eyes who make her seem like she is almost crying and her childish voice... We are lucky Veyna isn't here. "
Estiel : " I never thought you would be like this Fiona... But I can somehow understand how you feel, I never saw someone as cute as Shina drunk. "
Shina : " What are you talking nyaabout ? "
Kiel : " It's nothing mistress, please ignore them and take another cup " She said as she gave me another cup of juice.
Nuya : " Yup Yup, drink more Mistress ! "
Shina : " Thanks Kiel... " This was my last memory of this night.

The Destiny of a Mortal God (Hiatus)
Currently on hiatus, in part because I'm unsatisfied with how the story was starting to develop, and even though I had ideas how to run it, I still made mistakes far too big to correct them. Secondly I'm currently stressed about university, and sincerely, I don't see myself keeping this project. I may or may not retake this project or even start a new one, but one thing's for sure, it isn't happening anytime soon (Meaning until june, aprox, or until I can keep up with class). ... Lyon Ironblood, 19 years old and orphan, is taken by Kronos from the present Earth to another world, where he shall fight and struggle to get stronger so that he shall acomplish the mission Kronos assigned him. He shall fight gods, demons, dragons and monsters and even mortals who surpass those. But to do so he shall receive, though only after he proved himself worthy, a power beyond imagination. This power will not be handed freely to him, and he'll have to work hard to develop it. He shall receive the X-Men System. A magic system designed to enhance Lyon and give him the mutations from the X-Men serie. He shall start from scratch, with powers that will seem less than a mere human, and develop them with effort, to surpass the gods. [I don't claim ownership of any of the X-Men powers or characters, neither the cover, only thing I claim are the ideas which make the story and put together their powers, how they'll develop from scratch to even higher worlds than they were suposed on the series, other than that, all X-Men characters named (which I'll try to avoid to a certain point) are not of my property]
