Dragon Star: Journal 1

Chapter 1: The Blitz Gem

Today, was of course, a day in which it started to snow. I grabbed my coat and walked outside to the sparring area. Satanyuu was there waiting for me. He had a Nodachi gripped in his hand. It was his most powerful sword, "Sendon Houragon Maboui".

The wind howled as he unsheathed it. I had my Nodachi by my side as I unsheathed it as well. I bared it at Satanyuu. He walked towards me, but he hesitated as he bared the elongated point of his Nodachi at me.

"What's the hold up?" I asked as my coat flapped in the wind.

"Sorry...I zoned out there for a few seconds." Satanyuu answered.

"At what?" I asked angrily.

"...Let's just go!" Satanyuu ordered as I proceeded on slashing at him. He spun upwards as he sword slashed wildly at me. I blocked with ease as I slashed at him. I just barely slashed a piece of his clothes. He was able to kick me backwards with extra momentum.

I crashed onto the ground and skid backwards. I got up and brushed myself off.

"Sensei," I said. "You're holding back."

"Oreidan...You know I'm growing old." Satanyuu stated.

"Still, you are so much better than this. Is something clouding your mind?" I wondered.
Satanyuu didn't answer me, so I took that as a chance to attack. As I charged at him, he pushed me sideways and kicked me against a wall that was close to my home.

Unfortunately, this is where my adventure was about to begin.

I smashed against the wall hard as more white fluffy snow covered the ground. My eyes suddenly became hazy as my mind began to fade. I saw Satanyuu come through the ever increasing white snow with his sword held high.

Normally, I would protect myself and block him. But, my body seemed to be getting weary as my arm began to lift into the air. I, somehow, held it across my chest in some effort to defend this weary body.

As I did this, sadly, Satanyuu slashed at my block. When his sword collided with mine, I heard a lock and key mechanism activate. I regained consciousness as I realized the sound was coming from the hilt of my sword. It had opened up, and created a small diamond shaped hole in the center.

"What is this?" Satanyuu asked as he stood where he was. The air was as still as my breath as two seconds later, a bright green light shot out from the diamond shaped hole. It obliterated Satanyuu and as I saw his body disintegrate, I noticed he had dropped his blade and forced screams poured out from him as this was happening. They reverberated off the air and into my ears.
I still remember that day...perfectly, matter of fact. That was the saddest point of my life as I saw the sword of my master lie on the ground in front of me. He was the only one I had left and one of the only people who I cared about...And he dared to care for me back.

'He's dead...and...' I hesitated as I thought to myself. '....I have created the murder...How could a sword,' I held it up to my face. 'Kill the very man who taught me and raised me from the very start of my life?'
My mind became blank as I became tense. I had to find a reason why I killed him. But, just as I thought of what had happened, my Nodachi glowed the exact same green light, it was glowing minutes before.

As I looked at the hilt again, a green gem had appeared within the diamond shaped hole that had formed within the hilt.

"No..." I was stunned at what I had just achieved. My heart raced as I dropped my Nodachi. "No...How can this be?! DAMN!!!" I shouted as I dropped to my knees.

I had achieved the very gem that Satanyuu told me to stay away from. The Blitz Gem...I now hold the infinite power of Lightning, rainstorms, and wind within the hilt of my sword.
