Chapter 8: Chapter 8 The dream



" come on Ambroz , you've been cleaning that sword for a long time now . Come out here with the rest of us and have some fun" xander said , addressing a tall handsome man .

William was wondering how he had gotten here . One moment he was sleeping soundly then the next he finds himself in the middle of this conversation with this man who was addressing him as Ambroz.

" Ok I'll be right with you guys since you keep on insisting , but first i have to make sure that my god slaying sword is in top shape in case any issue arises " William answered but he was also surprised that he answered the man involuntarily.

Suddenly William rose and sheathed the black blade with thin red stripes running along it .

It took a moment for William to realize that this was not his body and he was only a spectator. William or rather Ambroz was currently in a large but dimly lit room .

He was wiping the edges of the sword he just referred to as the god slaying sword with a white cloth.

" Just make sure you come out , the others are also expecting you" xander said as he headed out .

Ambroz continued wiping the blade when suddenly explosions were heard outside .

" We're being attacked, it's the dark lord's army" Ambroz heard someone shout from outside midst the explosions.

Ambroz immediately rose and headed out to see for himself what was going on .

Ambroz was immediately greeted by the sight of people fighting . There were two groups present , one which had similar armor to which Ambroz was donned in and the other dressed in full black armor .

Ambroz body brimmed with power as he unsheathed his sword and immediately joined the battle . William was surprised since the same energy that filled Ambroz's body was the same energy he felt back in the village.

The fight progressed and it seemed like Ambroz and the others were the ones who had the upper hand but suddenly two mysterious men appeared out of nowhere .

They both gave out an eery aura . Ambroz turned and faced the two new arrivals.

William heart skipped a beat, weren't this the two men who killed his entire village . William's blood began to boil and he just wanted to leap on them and avenge his parents.

Ambroz sized them up ,he didn't want to charge in carelessly since he could sense a dark miasma surrounding their bodies.

all of you prepare to die , your struggles are futile " one of the men spoke and the miasma that was surrounding their bodies suddenly bursted forth and covered the entire area .

Previously the land was covered with lush green grass that made everything look so beautiful but now everything was dying .

The dark lord's army seemed to have gained a significant boost in strength and now Ambroz and the others were on the losing side .

Suddenly William woke up "what a dream" that dream felt so real and familiar .it felt like he had once experienced it all.

This time William didn't oversleep but still everyone was not present everyone except Arya of course .

Arya was waiting for him to get up so that she can give William the gold coins given to her by her parents.

William didn't refuse the money since he truly needed it and Arya also made sure to say that it was a parting gift from her parents so that William could not refuse it as it would be rude to refuse a gift.

After saying goodbye to Arya William went on his way.right now William was strolling the streets of frostfire city .to say the truth he hadn't really come up with a plan on what to do next .

William couldn't get his mind off that dream he had last night it felt so real .and he could tell this Ambroz also had a grudge with the people who killed his parents .

William passed by a building that had a sign written blacksmith on top of it .He suddenly had a feeling that he knew about blacksmithing but didn't know from where.

"Let me take a look inside " William decided to take a look since he was already there and maybe he could also get a sword while he was at it.

The bell at the top of the door chimed as William entered the blacksmith store .

" Welcome customer , how can i help you ?" A short bearded man spoke over the counter .he looked like a dwarf but he was definitely human, the muscles on his arms were clearly visible .this showed that the work of a blacksmith required immense strength in crafting .

" I would like to purchase a sword " William said , he just wanted to look at the swords since he really needed a good weapon.

The dwarf man pointed a wall that displayed a variety of weapons " there is a pretty good sword here," he was referring to a long sword which had a thin but sharp blade .

" The blade is too thin and eould be suitable to a person who has an elegant sword play or else the blade would just snap" William spoke surprised that he knew all this.

" I was just about to say the same " the dwarf man was surprised that William knew the the property of the sword . Most people would only focus on the quality of the weapon while buying them while forgetting to check if they are compatible with its play style.

"In that case , none of this swords here would be suitable for you but I'm sure you already know that " the dwarf man spoke .

All the swords on display were for the same sword play ;one with elegance.

" Follow me to the back . Today is your lucky day" William followed the man to the back.

At a wall there was only one weapon on display and that was a sword that gave out an intense yet unnoticeable killing intent " it's my latest work . I've named it the maker of widows ....i wasn't planning on selling this sword but since your knowledge with the sword is impeccable i know that you will put this sword ro to good use "

William approached the sword and took it down from the wall . He immediately felt like it was truly meant for him . William had made a decision to buy it .

" How much is it ?" William asked .

" It will be one gold coin" the dwarf didn't want to swindle William and told him the actual value.

William paid upfront since he had the money and then left the shop
