"What's happening with the sword?" Princess Anastasia demanded.
"It's… Recognizing me as its owner." Alexander said.
Princess Anastasia frowned slightly, but didn't say anything about it. She was still distracted and affected by the news that her gentle grandpa was once a ruthless murderer of his own siblings as well.
Very soon, the sword stopped glowing. Alexander looked at it with great interest.
He gave it a few swings, and found that it had perfect balance, as though it was custom made for him. Additionally, he felt a really strong connection with it, as though it was part of him.
"I feel like it's a part of me." Alexander muttered. "Maybe…"
Whoosh!
The sword disappeared.
"Hey! Where did…" Princess Anastasia began.
Whoosh!
The sword appeared once more in Alexander's hand.
"Woww… That's awesome!" Princess Anastasia breathed out in wonder.
