The Sword Handle Is Not Ordinary

[A/N: I realized that most of the novel I read on this platform is first pov and when I try to write in first pov. writing becomes a bit easier. I don't think I will change much of the first ten chaps I post before but I will start writing in a bit of first pov so the story be more centered towards the mc. Hope u guys don't mind :3]

----------------------------------------------------------------

The journey was pretty boring with no danger whatsoever. As The day started to end and the beautiful twin moon emerged accompanied by countless starts to brighten up the night. The demon knights have decided to set camp for the day inside a natural-looking crater surrounded by a nearby mountain canyon.

.

[A/N: Basically look like this]

.

I saw the people start to set up camp and preparing the meal for everybody. I have been looking around in the direction of the dark forest all this time because I keep getting the gut feeling that something is going to come and cause trouble here soon.

But of course, a gut feeling is just a gut feeling. I might just be overthinking from stress and tiredness from the journey maybe.

.

And I don't want to alert the villagers that have basically fear written in their eyes to be more scared than they already are.

I have also noticed that some of the demon knights have also been keeping a lookout from the back so this makes me less worried actually. Because if something were to really attack then those demon knights will immediately send a warning.

---------------------------

After the meal, I noticed that old man Titan seems to have some sort of those big shots meeting. I never really thought about it but old man Titan might be someone important if he can join in a meeting with those high-ranking demon knights.

.

Tiana have fallen asleep immediately after the meal. Probably because she was tired from the long journey. Actually, all the kids seems to be tired from the journey while the adult seems to be just fine. Probably because adult demons have higher stamina I guess.

.

Anyway, All the demons seems to be really worried of this so-called magic beast stampede. And even though they usually have their eye on me inside the village. Now they seems to be not paying that much attention towards me anymore as their survival is more important.

.

The demon villagers might think that I didn't notice it but I noticed that they have been keeping their eyes on me for a while now.

Except for old man titan, most of the adult here seems to be wary of me. I mean, I understand that a complete stranger comes into some secret village of the demons then of course they need to be careful.

.

Now that their attention are not focused on me I decided to do some secret studying somewhere secure. Truth be told, during the journey, my mind actually been thinking of the sword handle that bastil give me.

I'm not sure why myself but there's a feeling of nostalgia that I keep getting when I think of that particular sword handle.

.

I found a small cave and decided to check the sword handle out inside of it. All this time I never get to properly look at it because I was busy thinking of my journey and after getting attack by that ape. I lost consciousness and end up at some demon village that have been surveilling my every movement from the shadows.

.

Now that I'm safe from their prying eyes I bring out the ruby ring that I hid Inside my cloth.

It's really weird, I feel like I'm on drugs and was about to sneakily have some of those white stuff or something when I was about to bring out the box containing the sword handle.

.

The sword handle truly looks beautiful. looking at it I just can't help but bring out the kid inside me. Although it's embarrassing nobody is watching me so I played slashing the air with the sword handle while making some of those slashing sound effects.

.

" Ouch! "

.

I accidentally bleed a bit because of the sharp part of the handle. Upon making contact with my blood I realized that the sword handle is getting hotter for some unknown reason. And suddenly the wing part of the handle starts to flap and it turns into some sort of burning wing. Then a sword made of golden light was formed. It looks like a lightsaber from star wars now.

.

[A/N: Basically look like this]

.

I was disgusted and shocked by the sudden flapping of what I have thought as a wing decoration and accidentally throw the handle and to the walls. The sword starts to appear then and it thrust its way into the wall during my throwing because of the shock session.

.

[My Lord, why did you throw me away? Did I do something wrong?]

.

To my surprise, The sword starts to talk now. and of course, even though on the inside, I have a surprised look. My facial expressions just won't show it.

.

I was curious now because I'm pretty sure a talking sword is not normal. If you saw a talking sword then it's either you are delusional or have gone crazy.

.

I'm sure I'm still sane so I'm going to ask some questions to the sword anyway. This is a world with magic after all so a talking sword might just be a rare thing here.

.

" What are you? "

.

I ask the sword and again my tone my facial expressions both of them are just so cool for some reason. Is this one of the perks of being a vampire lord to achieve full mastery in the arts of being cool?

.

[I'm Aria your loyal sword, my lord. Don't you remember me?]

.

"Aria?"

.

I was a bit dumbfounded by her answer because I never have a talking sword ever since I step foot in this world.

---------------------------

As wen jun and Aria start to have a conversation. The black gorilla that have been tracking wen jun by scent have arrived at the now empty Tamon village.

.

The gorilla was filled with wounds as he was actually been hunt down by the other two overlords. The black gorilla knew his end would come soon anyway so he at least want to avenge his boss before the fight of the two overlords end and he became the next target

.

It was filled with rage. as it knows that he just missed wen jun as his scent was still strong. Even though his injuries slow him down a bit. He is still one of the apex predators of the famed Dark Forest. With determination in its eye. It than just dash towards the scent of wen jun following it's trail.
