The Dungeon Tree

"I'm aware that your katana isn't just a normal katana. Your weapon is what is known as a Genmochi. I'm sure you've sensed the presence of one nearby. Though I do carry a Genmochi, the one you sensed is someone else." Daz said.

Daz reached for his blade and unsheathed it. The blade had eyes just like mine did. The blade stared at me for a moment and didn't say anything. I looked at Daz and saw that he was looking at my weapon.

"Don't just leave me in suspense, show me your Genmochi!" Daz's weapon said, startling me. I reached for my katana and unsheathed it.

The two blades stared at each other for a moment while me and Daz watched them. For the next few moments the room stayed completely quiet.

"Ok, I think that's enough awkward silence. Right now we need to discuss the third person here who had the Genmochi. I set up this whole event in an attempt to find another Genmochi user like me and luckily I found two." Daz said.

'With what the blacksmith told me about these weapons I wouldn't expect to find other users so quickly.' I thought. I let out a small sigh and put my katana back in its sheath. As we stayed in the room I heard the front door open. I turned to see who opened it and saw a girl with blue eyes and blonde hair.

"I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" The girl asked. I removed my katana almost instantly and prepared myself if anything were to happen.

"John, the energy I'm sensing is the same as the one from earlier. I also don't think she's here to talk, just look at her." My katana said.

I looked at the girl and began feeling a sense of dread. The girl let out an evil smile which caused me to freeze up. Thankfully Daz shook me out of it.

"I've already killed three Genmochi users, I think I can take on two at once." The girl said, removing her blade.

The girls weapon had a grey hilt and the blade itself was a crimson color. The girl let out a wicked laugh and began to run at us. The girl attempted to slash me but I blocked it with my own blade. As our blades collided it became apparent that the girl was stronger than me. Before anything else could happen, Daz jumped in and knocked the girl away from me.

"You two seem to be pretty good with your weapons. Out of respect for your strength I'll give you a name to call me. At my bandit group they called me Crimson because of my blades color." The girl said.

After Crimson was done talking she rushed at me and Daz once more. I prepared my sword for another one of her attacks but instead of attacking me with her sword, she kicked me away and tried to attack Daz.

"John, I have an idea. I'm not sure if it'll work but it's our best shot at causing her to flee." My katana said.

"I'm willing to try whatever it is you're talking about. So tell me what I need to do and how it'll work." I told my katana.

"Before I can begin I need you to do something real quick. I need you to hold her off for ten minutes."
