Ancestor's Treasure(2)

After his grandfather was done talking, he stopped. Only then did Jim notice that they had reached a dead end. His grandfather then tapped on the wall in front of them in a strange and complicated manner.

*creak*

The wall started to split into two whilst making a screeching sound like a door being opened. Even before the door will open his grandfather said,

"Behind these doors are the ultimate treasure that our ancestor left us!"

"Hmm!", Jim nodded. He wanted to see how magnificent the sword and the long-chain will look.

*creak*

Finally, the wall opened.

However, when saw what was beyond the wall, he put on a disappointed look. He was very disappointed.

Jim imagined that the chain and the sword will be placed in a magnificent room. However, what he was seeing right now showed what he thought was wrong.

Not only were the treasures placed in a magnificent room, but the treasures were also even placed on the floor.

That wasn't what made him very disappointed. What made him more disappointed was the fact that the so-called treasures left by their ancestor were not emitting any kind of feeling!

The broad sword looked like a normal iron broad sword with no design apart from the strange markings on it.

As for the chain, it was even more disappointing than the broad sword. It was similarly silver in colour. However, it did not have any strange markings on it.

Seeing the disappointed look on Jim's face, his grandfather said,

"Don't be disappointed That normal looking sword is a magic conductor. We don't know its level though. However, I can tell you that it has a very high level. As for the normal-looking chain, it is more magical! It is unbreakable. Even though it looks normal it is very dangerous. Now, go and try to take it."

"Hmm", even though he was unwilling, he knew there was nothing he could do about it, so he went forward and touched the broad sword.

*Paa~!*

The moment Jim's hand touched the broad sword, it began to emit a very beautiful silver glow. Moreover, it was giving out a very ancient aura.

*ta* [fx for falling objects]

Seeing that, Jim was so frightened that he left the broad sword and stepped back. However, what surprised him was that, instead of the sword falling to the ground, it hovered in the air and then moved straight towards Jim. Seeing the approaching sword, Jim was so scared that he nearly shouted. Yet at that moment, the sword suddenly stopped in front of him.

It stopped. Moreover, it was still in the same position without moving. Jim then felt a strange connection with the broad sword. It felt like he was missing a body part. That body part was exactly the broad sword.

" Jim, do you feel any connection with the broad sword. Like it was your missing limb or something like that?", his grandfather asked. Turning his head to where his grandfather was, he saw that his grandfather had a very anxious look on his face.

Seeing that, Jim smiled and said,

"Yes, feel that connection."

"Really, have you tried controlling it? If not then try to control that missing limb.", his grandfather suddenly became excited and even urged him to control it.

" I can't. I have already tried!", Jim said. He had tried that the moment he felt that connection. However, he noticed that he couldn't even move the limb. It was like the limb was too heavy.

*sigh*

Hearing what he said his grandfather sighed whilst shaking his head in disappointment.

"Then try the chain too. If you can make a connection with the sword, then you can definitely make a connection with the chain!", Jim's grandfather said.

"Hmm", Jim nodded and then proceeded to pick the chain up. The same thing happened. However, the chain emitted a very strong silver light. Even more than the broad sword.

After everything was completed, they exited the room.

"Grandpa, I can't always let the treasures follow me like this right? Where should I put it? " Jim asked after they got out.

"Oh, you can just place the sword at your back and then tie the chain around you in an X-shape.", his grandfather suggested whilst smiling happily. One could see that he was very happy.

"Okay, then I will do it that way.", Jim said and proceeded to do what his grandfather said.

" Okay, then will be going home now.", Jim said to his grandfather after doing what his grandfather said.

"What?! You can stay here! It's already late! Aren't you scared?", his grandfather said with unwillingness.

" Don't worry grandpa, I will be okay! Moreover, I have to prepare for school tomorrow!", Jim said with a smile.

"Okay!", his grandfather said with unwillingness written all over his face.

So Jim went home at night making his way towards his home under the light from the moon. He was on guard. He didn't know if his stalker would return or maybe another person would be following him. However, after walking halfway home, he realised no one was following him so he relaxed a little bit.

As for his parents, they didn't say anything after Jim returned home. It was as if they knew what had happened already.

So Jim just went to sleep after he returned home. However, if he knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly because of his elemental spirit, he wouldn't have slept.
