A beautiful Black sword

When Theo lay down in the  floor and making plan for  tomorrow, it was slightly dark outside. He got up and start making food from some left over meat, that he kept when hunting yesterday.

Theo used to hunt small  beast like Rabbit and rat and sell his pelt and meat to earn his living, Cause he can't always do odd jobs, especially during winter. Most of his earning from odd jobs comes during the spring and Autumn where there used to be lot of work.  and it is beginning of the spring season when most of the sect used to recruit new disciple.

As Theo wait for the left over meat to cook, he went to the place where the trap he set up was. as Theo check all the trap, he said to himself," no luck, ha.. i guess it is the start of  the spring season, most of the animal didn't get out of their build, knowing how cold was the winter,". He sigh and feeling little bit dejected he went to his home.

Theo's house look like shed, where there  is only single room, and Theo used to cook food outside on the yard. As how can  anybody expect from 12 year old boy to build a big house. Theo build his House at the age 10, when most of the children play wit their toys. Before that he used to live in the alley of town.

After having his dinner, he lay down in the floor, thinking about his day. He soon fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Theo woke up and start doing some stretch up. As he body felt little numb after sleeping in the floor. He went to the stream and freshen up so that he could go to the town.

The town he live, i mean near his house is called Red forest town. It is called Red forest because during Autumn the forest color used to be Red, as if the someone painted it Red no one knows why. And during this season most hunter don't go to forest to hunt, because the spirit beast used to mostly active at that time. As for Theo during this season he used to live in the town in the fear of spirit beast. spirit beast are those who can used qi while taking, they are intelligent beings who can cultivate.

After freshening himself up Theo walk out of forest to the town, It was in the morning as there was not much people in the gate of town, Theo got into the town very easily or else he would have to wait. As for not asking for entry fee from Theo because, they knew him, because of his odd job i.e. delivery them some food sometimes.

Theo went to the same Restaurant where he ate yesterday for breakfast as some people used to say," Growing men must  eat three meals a day", after eating his breakfast, he went to the blacksmith shop to get himself a sword for practice.

Upon entering the shop an old man working at the forge while hammering the iron said to him," seeing you here brat, i think u didn't get yourself in in any sect". After hearing the old man Theo sighs said," They told me i am trash, and i don't any talent in cultivation ". Hearing that Old man felt pity for him and said to Theo," why don't you take the day off brat"

Blacksmith is one of the job Theo used to work regularly and it is the place where Theo used to stay during Autumn and winter. Otherwise he used to stay in the forest in his shed. as for why he didn't live there, it's a freaking workshop, and every person in his life wants a house, thats why theo build himself a small hut in the forest.

hearing the old man saying that, as if feeling little happy, Theo said to the old man," ohh.. hearing what you said old man jiang, guess i will take the day off, by the way old man jiang i am taking one  of the sword from the rack". The name of the old man with whom Theo was talking is called "Jo Jiang". but every body in town used to called him old man jiang.

Hearing what Theo said, old man jiang said to Theo," brat, what will you do with the sword, dont tell me you gonna become a bandit", after  listening to what the oldman jiang said, Theo didn't get any offended, instead with a smirk in his face he replied," aye... Old man jiang it is only for protection purpose, don't tell me You want your precious worker to be get killed by some wild beast, as you know where I lived isn't it",

"Cheeky brat, where did you learn to blackmail others,", after saying that he sighs and talk again," get it from left side rack", Theo walk to the left side of counter to get sword as the sword in there are mostly useless sword (i.e. not good quality one or low level common sword). He knew himself that he cant buy a good sword as he have to buy body tempering technique too with this little amount of money.

As he tried to pick  a sword he saw a beautiful black sword in the corner of rack, Theo mesmerized and uttered," what a beautiful black sword", suddenly from back he heard the word," isn't it beautiful, to sad the cultivator from whom i got the sword told me that this sword cannot cut anything, its dull sword". Suddenly as if deciding something Theo decide that he will take that sword.

Theo walked out of the blacksmith shop shouting," Thank you, old man jiang"

Hearing Theo word he muttered to himself," what a fool, boy"

Actually who knows, what kind of sword is that.....nobody knows only destiny will tell.
