Chapter 39: Katana
I unsheathed my katana and looked at it. The katana didn't have any noticeable traits at first, that was until I saw that it had eyes. The Katana looked as surprised as I was.
"You can hear me? It's been years since someone's actually been able to actually hear me talk!" The blade said.
I turned to see if Steven saw what was going on and was relieved to see that he was as shocked as I was. We both could see and hear the blade.
"Who, no, what are you? Because you're sure as hell not a normal katana. I remember the blacksmith saying something about how this weapon can use magic but I thought that was it." I said.
"I'll tell you all after this is over. For now let's win this thing so we can go to the tournament. While that Daz person was talking I felt the presence of another weapon just like me close by. Now go left, I saw a couple of ribbons over there." The katana said.
I did what the katana told me and began making my way towards my left. Thankfully the buildings were close together so I could jump from roof to roof without any trouble.
"There's a couple of ribbons down on the street by the stalls." The katana pointed out. I nodded my head and jumped down from the roof.
I grabbed the two ribbons and looked at the numbers on them. One had seventy-two while the other had fifty. I put the ribbons away in my bag and began searching for more.
"There's another ribbon on that statue to your right. Go get it before the event ends." The katana said.
I turned towards the statue and ran over to it, grabbing the ribbon which was located on the statues face. I looked to see how much the ribbon was worth and saw that it had twenty written on it.
"There's no more ribbons in this area. I suggest to climb back on top of the rooftops and begin searching for more." The katana suggested.
"How do you know all of this? Is this the kind of magic that the blacksmith was talking about?" I asked the katana.
"I'm not using any form of magic, I'm just finding ribbons by looking around. I have eyes so I'm capable of seeing things. Now stop asking questions and start looking for more ribbons!" The katana said.
I made my way up to the rooftops and began searching for more ribbons. While running across them we crossed paths with Ashe and Julia who seemed to be having trouble finding any ribbons.
"All the ribbons have been claimed. Wow, that was faster than I expected. Everyone please return to the arena that you played capture the flag in." Said Daz's voice.
"That was quick. I hope our other teammates found some ribbons." Said Steven with a worried expression.
I looked at the katana and saw that its eyes were gone. It looked like just a normal blade now. I let out a sigh and put my weapon in its sheath and made my way towards the arena.
