#1

Blue energy begin to surround Jaehwang as he was testing out a skill. Next to him was the spirit who looked over and said,

“We have to tell them about it.”

“Yes. We have to take care of this. Everything should turn out fine…”

Jaehwang said in reply as he finished up testing the skill. Looks like everything was going good so far. However, the spirit didn’t seem so confident about it.

“Are you sure? The both of us are supposed to handle so much of this? Do you think we can do it?”

Pong! Pong!

-Well, no. Ow! I think I did something wrong.

He said as after testing the skill but injured himself a bit.

“Introduce it again.”

“Alright. Let’s see.”

Jaehwang said after a quick healing.

-Doesn’t it seems like something’s blocking it a lot?

-Hmm, could be… What could it be? Maybe try something else?

-Okay.

Jaehwang said in reply to the spirit’s suggestion.

He and the spirit had been training every day to prepare for the raid.

“Jaehwang.”

The spirit said.

“What?”

-How are you gonna do this?

She asked.

-Things like this could easily not go as planned.

Pong! Pong!

Jaehwang continued to test the skill before replying,

-I know but, I don’t think I have much of a choice anyway.

“Hey, have you seen my tiger anywhere around here…”

A random guy came and asked him.

“What?!”

“It’s okay, you don’t have to be afraid of it, it’s trained. I just need to find it.”

He assured.

“Please tell me if you see it anywhere.”

“I will.”

Jaehwang replied.

“Thank you so much.”

The guy said before rushing off.

-Anyways, at least you have Baekren to help you this time.

-I guess.

-Isn’t it a relief?

-Whatever.

Jaehwang replied. It wasn’t a secret that he did not like Baekren and wish he didn’t have to work with him.

“Come on, you could end up really enjoying it.”

“I wouldn’t count on it…”

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Jaehwang and the spirit then went into an empty office and made a phone call.

Beep…

“Can Rumi please come to the office.”

Jaehwang said through the office phone and Rumi came knocking on the door a minute later.

“Hello.”

“Come in.”

She softly opened the door and walked in. instead of sitting in the chair across from Jaehwang she stood next to it.

“It’s okay to sit.”

“That’s okay. I’m fine like this.”

She insisted.

“Alright. I just called you here to talk for a bit.”

“Okay.”

Rumi then decided to sit down and Jaehwang placed a weapon on the table.

It was a sword. The moment she looked at it, her eyes lit up.

“Is that…”

“The magic sword. It’s a special artifact, one of the best.”

“Indeed.”

“Can I take a closer look at it?”

Rumi asked.

“Sure.”

Rumi then took a closer look at sword looking fascinated by it. A rare special artifact like that wasn’t common to come by.

“Is it…”

“I know from when I found out it, it’s important to find the owner.”

“It’s not yours?”

“No. It’s a shame it has to be returned but it’s the right thing to do.”

The artifact could only be activated and used when in the hands of its owner. That’s why anyone couldn’t use any weapon.

“Okay.”

Rumi said still admiring the sword.

She was also clearly disappointed to know that it would eventually have to go

“Alright then, let’s find the owner. Are there any plans you have to find him?”

“Yes.”

Jaehwang answered.

“But, is there any way I could check if it works right?”

“Hmm. I don’t know, that may be a bit difficult.”

Jaehwang said. He couldn’t think of anyone who could possibly be able to test it out besides Gwanjae and that wasn’t even a guarantee.

“Are you sure you can’t do it?”

Rumi suggested.

“Me?”

“Yea, it shouldn’t be that hard for you to figure it out.”

“Uhh, I don’t think that will work.”

Jaehwang said after taking a quick moment to think.

“Come on, just pick it up, focus and see what happens. I wouldn’t be surprised if it worked. At least give it a try.”

“I don’t know…”

Jaehwan replied hesitantly.

Rumi looked a bit disappointed. She picked up the sword and glided her hand across the side of its smooth and shiny blade.

Then, out of nowhere the sword suddenly started to vibrate.

“Huh,,,”

Whooshh

Light began to emerge from the sword as it continued to vibrate ad she held it in her hand.

“Uh, what’s going on?…”

She said in a bit of a panic still while still holding the sword. Jaehwang was too shocked to do anything but watch.

-Wow… That’s it… That’s what it needed….!”

The spirit said.

-What?

-Just keep watching.

Swooshhh…

The light from the sword grew bigger and brighter.

Blue energy emerged from the sword and started to form a shape.

It looked like a giant snake. The giant snake then wrapped around her and opened its mouth wide showing all its sharp teeth.

The blue energy filled the entire office room.

-It’s the snake. The power of the sword.

-The snake?

Jaehwang asked.

-You thought it was just like any other artifact?

-It’s another passed down magic weapon?

-Of course. It’s one of the oldest but still one of the most powerful.

-Ah…

The spirit explained to him everything about the sword.

Although he still didn’t fully understand what was going on Jaehwang continued to watched in amazement.

“Watch closely.”

The spirit said appearing next to him in human form.

“She’s gonna be alright though, right?”

Jaehwang asked.

“Shhh. Just pay attention.”

The spirit replied.

She then disappeared back into his head.

#2

No one was sure how much time had passed by so far.

Suddenly, it was all over.

Rumi fainted and fell onto the floor along with the sword.

Jaehwang then picked up Rumi up off of the floor and into his arms. Looked like the spirit was right, she was the owner of the sword. It must have been passed down from her family years ago.

If that was true then that means she could be just as powerful as Jaehwang. Or even more powerful.

-Jaehwang, do this person a favor.

The spirit said.

-Okay.

-It should be easy to gather the energy.

She then noticed Rumi’s arm.

-It looks like a tiger mark… That could only mean one thing.

-No way…

Jaehwang replied in shock.

The Sword Owner, The end.
