I nodded, and took out so paper to draw a sketch. I wanted to draw the Moon Blade, and show it to him. As the Royalty, he might've encountered it. Finished with my drawing, I showed it to him while asking "I'm looking for this sword". He took the paper, and looked at it. After a while, Roland said "Yea, I've seen a few of them. They seem to be really popula… Hmm?". He looked at the drawing again, and exclaid "I know this sword! I saw the exact sa sword, that you just drew. The popular ones looked a bit different, but this one looks like... Why are you looking for it?".
'Jackpot' I thought, and replied "Because it belongs to . It was stolen from a long ti ago, and I want it back. Who has it, who has my sword?". He laughed, and replied "This is good, this is very good indeed. I will tell you, who has this sword". I waited for him to continue. Roland said "Liana, she is in possession of that sword. I can guarantee that she will not give it back to you". I quickly asked "What does she look like?".
He was a bit confused, and said "Em.. She is quite tall for a woman. Large breasts, blonde hair, and green eyes. I guess her face is rather pleasing to look at, although I hate to admit it". I draw up sothing, and passed it on to him. Roland was shocked, he said "It is her. Have you seen each other before?". I snorted, and replied "Seen?". I extended my right arm, and said "More than seen".
He asked "Did she do sothing to your arm?". I said "Yes, cut it off to be precise. I finally found her. This is just too good, not only did she cut off my arm, she even has my sword?". I lost control over my emotions. Without realising it, the whole house was enveloped in my Aura. I only realised what was happening, when Fox squeezed out "Stop…". I quickly stopped my Aura, and apologised.
Roland was scared, and shocked too. He said "You are much stronger than before… Did you perhaps…". I didn't answer, and said "You want out of this place? I will give you a way out. If you do sothing for ". He replied, "If you want to steal the sword, I..". I stopped him, and said "No. I want you to lure her to a place, where no one will obstruct ". He asked "And how am I supposed to do this?". I replied "Your problem. I already know what I wanted to know. I will get my sword back, with or without your help".
He thought about it, and said "I wish for her death, believe . But I will not go back there. I prefer to risk it now, and flee, rather than return there and probably die. My answer is no". I appeared next to him, and tapped on a few pressure points. He fainted, while I said "Suit yourself". Fox asked "What are you going to do with him?". I replied "Nothing. He is just asleep. His problems are his, not mine. Although he is not a coward and can think for himself, if he chose my side, his future might've been brighter. Anyway, let's go. I already know who has my sword, and I will make sure it returns to my hands".
We walked through the streets, towards Paul's smithy. Fox asked "That is how you lost your arm? Because of that woman...?". I replied, "It has to be her. At that ti, she didn't have my sword. This can only an, she got it later sohow. Not that I care, the sword belongs to anyway". Fox said "Don't be reckless, alright? I know it's your sword and all, but think about it. You can't just go in, and kill soone. Especially in the Imperial Palace. There are people stronger than you inside".
I smiled at Fox, and said "I'm no idiot. I might've tried breaking into the Academy, but I'm not going to repeat that with the Imperial Palace. I will think of sothing. With Roland's help, this would've been much easier. Unfortunately, we can't count on that guy. No matter, I saved his life, and he provided with information. Now, we go our own separate ways".
Fox nodded, and said "Good. Don't be stupid and reckless. The sword is going nowhere, there is no rush". We soon arrived at the smithy, where Paul was waiting for already. I told him that I wanted to talk first. Paul agreed, and we went to his office. He asked "What's up?".
I replied "I found my sword". Paul was shocked, and then smiled. He said after a while "So you found it… I'm sorry Nex. I didn't want to tell you, who has that sword". I was stunned, and asked "You knew?". He nodded, and replied "Yes. I was afraid to tell you. With so much rage inside you, I could imagine what would happen if you stord the Imperial Palace. You being here, is a good sign".
I asked "How long were you planning on keeping that from ?". He shook his head, and replied "As long as it was necessary. You might be disappointed, but I can't allow you to throw your life away". I sighed, and said "I'm not going to throw my life away. I will think of sothing later. For now, I will stay here and learn how to smith. Knowing where my sword is, I feel more at ease". I could tell that Paul was relieved when he heard that.
I recalled sothing, and asked "Why are you so concerned about my rage, my anger? Everyone would be angry in that situation". He shook his head while replying "You are different. Your father was the sa. When your father was angry, even his Aura beca savage and filled with killing intent. Only thanks to your mother, Raz was able to learn how to control his anger. When we first t, I saw the sa anger inside you. Who knows, maybe you also need soone to help you control it".
I was lost for words. 'So the Aura that awakens when I'm angry, is my father's? Does that an, I inherited his Aura?' I asked myself. I wasn't sure whether it was possible to inherit Auras, or whether I coincidentally awakened the sa Aura as my father. I asked "Can people inherit Auras?". Paul was confused, and replied "I never heard of anyone inheriting an Aura. It's sothing that every human has to learn by themselves. Why do you ask?".
I said "Because it is possible, I have the sa Aura, as my father had". He was shocked, and asked "You an, you also have an Aura when you beco angry?". I nodded, then replied "Yes. I can't really control it, and it only awakens when I'm really angry. My vision changes to that of red, and I thirst for blood". I could see his expression, it already told , that in fact it was the sa Aura. The Aura my father had.
After a while, Paul finally said "This Aura is treacherous. Refrain from using it… ever. It can drive you mad, just like it would your father. I told you, if not for your mother, Raz would die a long ti ago. That, or he would be a wanted man. This Aura only spells trouble". I nodded, and said "I'm kind of aware of that". Paul sighed, and said "Alright, it's ti we return to our lessons. Focus on smithing, and forget about that Aura as well as the sword. You are still young". I nodded, and we left the office.
Fox was waiting outside. I asked her, "You don't have any lessons with that Lady Mirabel?". She shook her head, and replied "I have a day off. Besides, I can tailor anywhere I want. I will stay here, and keep you company. Later I'll make you so food". I nodded, and thanked her. She replied "It's nothing, you don't have to thank ", but I wasn't thanking her for the food. 'Fox, you being there with , helped quell my anger. Who know what stupid things I might've done, if not for you' I thought. Wasting no more ti, I walked up to the workbench, and began making ingots.
