Chapter 7: The seventh step

Power, strength, confusion many things were flowing through my mind as I unsheathed the blade I felt them all at once as I awoke from what I though was a dream to find my-self back at my house "but that was impossible" I thought, I was dead but as I looked around I saw the back of the man who had spat on me a soldier of sazakuri and my hatred returned my mission clear: Kill sazakuri. I got up but realised I had something in my hand I remembered that I was carrying my sword to begin with but this sword wasn't mine, to be precise it was the sword in my dream but still in its sheath, then the voice returned "use me" it said "use me to kill that man" and without a second thought I did I gripped the sword and released it form its sheath. Power was what I felt when I did so as I was enveloped in red aura which reeked of blood I approached the man and shoved my sword through his back he looked surprised at me as he said" d-d-d-demo-n" and I severed him in half. I stood there looking at the carcass below me as blood seeped down the sword before I heard other whizzing sound and I looked in the direction of it "dodge" the voice said and so I did I moved out of the way as an arrow pierced the house's façade I looked around and spotted the bowman of Sazakuri's army, I began to run towards him but I was suddenly in front of him he looked at me with surprised sight as he reached for his tanto in his belt but before he could I cut him down I then looked at the carcass and then at the sword "what are you" I asked it

"I am the demon of the sword a god of sorts and you shall call me Kitsune" he said

"and what shall I call you hmmm?" he continued

"I don't know I said I forgot it" I replied

"then I shall call you Raiden" he said and so it was.
