Chapter 24 - Legacy

(Chapter unfolds:12" Abyss")

Nobaya explained everything he knew to them. The sword each of the four received was a symbol of their inner strength.

​After some time, as Nobaya walked along the veranda, he sensed someone standing outside alone. When Nobaya looked to see who it was, he saw that it was Jinso. He was staring out into the distance.

​"Jinso..." Nobaya called out.

​He walked over and sat down beside him.

​"Everything will be alright, Jinso... none of it will be your fault."

​Jinso looked at Nobaya, who continued, "I have a rough idea of what you are thinking, and I know it's not a good thing."

​"What?"

​"Fire... isn't that what's inside you?" Nobaya asked. Jinso gasped and stared at him.

​"But how...?" he asked, unable to believe it.

​"Jinso, the power that entered this sword you possess does not choose just anyone quickly. Generally, those who have wielded this power were not like you," Nobaya said.

​"How so?" Jinso pressed.

​Nobaya settled down beside him and began to tell him an old story that he knew.

​"Many years ago, while this land was crushed and oppressed under the grip of the Shapta, they arrived here for the first time.

​The arrival of the Sapahansthe warriors who became the nightmare of the Zeks and their leader."

"Initially, no one believed them. They asked if such powers truly existed within humans.

​However, the Sapahans asserted that only they could prevent the escalating crisis.

​It was during this time that the Shapta attacked someone directly one day, but that person easily escaped the Shapta's grasp,"

​"Who was that?" Jinso pressed.

​"Daisurya..."

​"Daisurya?" he asked with confusion.

​"Yes. It was Daisurya who first miraculously encountered the Shapta and successfully attacked it.

​On that day, Daisurya not only struck the Shapta but also destroyed one Zek.

​What shocked everyone was the examination of the destroyed Zek's body. The body had been eliminated only after the curse within it was completely wiped out."

​"How?"

​"The intensely fierce heat emanating from that Sapahan's sword was the reason."

​"Then that... Morikara...?"

​"Yes, that was the Morikara Sword. The power you have received, Jinso, is not one that chooses just anyone.

​There are many more hidden powers within VESHTRA. The subtle transformations and forms of the elements are contained within VESHTRA as powers. Some of them share similar properties, while others are entirely unique.

​The Abyss Flame is one of the unique ones. Only two people have achieved it so far:

​One is the legendary warrior, Daisurya...

The other is..."

​"Me..." Jinso whispered.

​"The power of Fire does not choose anyone easily, Jinso. If the Abyss chose you, there must be a reason."

​Nobaya got up to go inside.

​"Even though the Abyss has chosen you, for it to fully accept you, you must understand it. Otherwise, you will never be able to control it."

​Nobaya went inside.

​Jinso took his sword in his hand and looked at it. It was no longer an ordinary sword; it was now the powerful "Morikara Sword".
