"What? What is it?" Don was glancing over towards Phil, confused. "Come on, don't keep me in the dark. I can see it's a sword, but still, is it special?"
"Yes. It's the Legendary Sword Gala."
"Gala? Like the apple brand?"
"That's exactly what I thought, too," I spoke as I wiped my mouth. The whole time they were rummaging around, I finished my chicken and was moving onto the broccoli.
"An apple brand? What are you talking about? This is the famous sword that had slain the infamous Titan Doravo. Made from the purest Mythril and created by the Dwarves. Then magically enchanted by the elder elves. They are not many swords like this anymore. Legend states that it would choose its master when the time arises." Phil took the sword in Don's hand, and he scrutinized it. "The blade is still sharp and clean. Not even a single blemish. How did you get this?" Phil admiringly stated, he then turned to glance at me, taking in a deep interest in what I would say.
"I don't know. I always had it." I shrugged my shoulders.
"So, did you slay the Hero Tokeum to acquire this?" Phil asked, looking at me strangely. "How old are you even? By chance, are you over thousands of years old?"
I snorted. "Hey, I'm not that old. Plus, I didn't slay anyone. I haven't even passed.…" Now I really didn't know how old I was. Should I say I was twenty-five or sixteen? Or am I a thousand years old? "Uh...sixteen?"
I should've come out and said I was twenty-five. My wishful thinking of becoming young made me say something so oblivious that it made me cringe.
"Sixteen? The first time I met you, you said you were older."
"Well.… I mean, I'm twenty-five. You got me." I placed down my fork. Ugh, I gave such sensitive information away. Being forever young.…impossible.
"Twenty-five? Your kidding, right? Do dragons grow that fast? You were a child outside this town."
"Look, I said it was a curse. This is what I look like."
Phil still didn't completely believe me.
"Holy cow! There is another one!" Don was having a field trip as he excitedly got on his knees and pushed through the gold to fish out another weapon, a scythe. He reached over, trying to touch it but was suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Yeowch!" He shook his hand and held it back. "Which one is this?"
"Mockingbird," Phil whispered under his breath. "Another item that was thought to be lost in history. The scythe that slew the ten thousand-headed Hydra. The Hydra Kingdom will pay a fortune to hold this in their hands. So, this is where it has been all this time."
Don whistled. "Berry. I'm going to say this again. You are one lucky girl. From wealth and now to two legendary artifacts. This is just insane."
"Young mistresses do not just have two." Tart proudly spoke with his chest held up high.
"Not j-j-j-just two?" Don's voice dropped in disbelief. "So, you're saying somewhere in here they're more?" He gestured his hands throughout the entire room, filled with gold.
"Mhmm. Young mistress is strong, powerful, and elegant. She is the-"
Coco did a roundhouse kick, making Tart fall forward onto the ground silent. "Why don't you just tell everyone how many things that she has why don't you, you brat?!" She spoke with distaste towards Tart. She glowered down at him with a menacing look that would freeze anyone.
"Damn it, Coco!" Tart was shakily getting back up his feet. "Do you have to always use violence?!"
"Yes. You deserve every piece of pain I dish out to you."
"What?! That's not fair!"
"Shut it, brat. Before I put my fist down your throat."
"So, how many legendary weapons are in here?" Phil slowly asked, wondering what she would say.
"I will not let te-"
I raised my hands to stop her. "It's alright, Coco. They're not the type to spill out such information. Right, you guys?" I examined their expression and body posture to see if they would move unnaturally. Even with a small flicker of movement or twitch, I was sure I could catch it with my dragon eyes that I had just switched into.
"Don't worry about it. It's not like I'm going to go slaying monsters anytime soon." Don shrugged his shoulder as if he didn't care. "I like what I'm doing right now, and I'm not in a hurry to run outside and kill myself. No point in trying to get killed over some sword that I'll probably use as a picket fence."
My lips twitched. Used as a picket fence? I couldn't help but laugh inside my head, Don was the type to do that.
"I honestly wouldn't say I am not interested in such a sword." Phil stated, "Legendary swords choose their masters. Right now, in my hand, I feel nothing. Also, I'm not the type to blatant speak about what you have to others. I don't like trouble."
"See." I glanced over towards Coco. "So far, they're not going to do anything stupid." Though, I wouldn't completely trust Phil. He is a soon to be Demon Lord and who knows what kind of Demon Lord he will be.
"I understand young mistresses. This is your castle."
"Thanks, Coco. Plus, if they do say anything, you know what to do."
A glint of understanding dawned on Coco as her smile turned malicious. I suddenly had a horrible feeling when she gave off such a devious grin. "I understand young mistresses. I will make sure nobody else knows."
"G-g-great." I stuttered and gulped. "So how do I find them all?"
"You just need to call them out."
"But, I don't know their names.…"
"Young mistress," Coco chuckled. "This is your space. All you need to do is think about them."
"Oh." I felt a bit stupid that I didn't realize by now that this whole castle was my space. I was already learning something new every time I live here. Without a further thought, I followed her direction. Standing up, I moved away from the table, I thought of only the Legendary artifacts present in this room.
The weapon in both Don and Phil's hand glowed pure white. They zipped out of both their sides and floated over towards me. Other Legendary artifacts made its way out from under the gold and flew over. Seven majestic weapons of different colors and sizes danced in front of me and circled around me like birds. I used my skill to identify all of the swords.
Legendary Hammer Bone Crusher
A legendary weapon imbued with a fire element. Used in the battle against the legendary creature Phoenix. The great Hero Doron bathed the weapon in the Phoenix's blood. Doron was the one to smash through the core of the Phoenix fire and slew the Phoenix. The weapon chooses the master to wield its great power. Only the chosen Dwarven Species will be able to pull out all of its power.
Bone Crusher was a giant hammer that was jet black. On the hilt were three feathers that fluttered in the air. Red fire erupted all around it, making it difficult to even get close.
Legendary Sword Starlight
A legendary weapon imbued with the power of the stars and the sun. A mysterious weapon that is created from a meteorite. It can increase or decrease its weight and change shapes into a thinner sword, and no other ability has been recorded. The weapon chooses the master to wield its great power.
Starlight was a large sword that was half the size of a full-grown man. Its edges were rough, but I could tell that it could still cut through a body just fine. Though this sword made me wonder how much power it had. It had a slight pull of energy that I couldn't help but feel a bit drawn too.
Legendary Holy Sword Gala
A legendary weapon imbued with holy light. It has been once held by a legendary hero that slew a mighty demon, Leviathan. The weapon chooses the master to wield its great power. It was once held by the Great Hero from the Divine Species, Toekum. For forty days and forty nights, the Hero Toekum and the Leviathan fought till the Hero overcame the monster. Doused in the blood of the first Leviathan, it has the power to confront and slay its descendants. Only the chosen Divine Species will be able to pull out all of its power.
Gala was a medieval type sword that had a beautiful sheen to it. One look and I could tell that it was made by a master craftsman. I even noticed that they were additional information that I didn't see before till now.
