Warriors Journey•Rise of the Demon part 3
chapter 3- Three Pilliars of Exsistence

"Your first step to becoming a Demon Guard member is choosing your weapon. Think hard about this because you'll be stuck with this class of weapon until death That's what makes this process so special. Your weapon will be apart of your very being…until death".

Kenshi tells Ben of the ways of the Demon Gaurd. He stood surrounded by Demon members, no longer dressed in black. They were dressed in their regular clothes as they shouted different weapons names at Ben. Ben really had no idea what weapon would be good for him. He'd never used or even seen weapons. He'd only seen King Polo's staff and that wasn't even used for combat.

He took a long look at the weapons that were lined in front of him. Long swords, short swords, battle-axes. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought. He took Kenshi's word for it, the weapon he chooses would be with him till death.

Ben speaks to himself inside his head." What would work for me? What does the adventure inside me want? What would King Polo do? Wait, he's a pacifist. " Then he spoke. He shouted his weapon." Katana!", Ben yelled. He had chosen the katana because he had a vision of King Polo, his ideal, using a golden katana. He wanted to be just like King Polo.

Kenshi started speaking," Right. Let's go to Keji". Ben and Kenshi started to walk down a hill with a little stone path. Luckily this one had brick stones. Unlike all other paths on the island. Very quickly, they arrived at the black Smith's forge. The building was made of stone bricks, just like the path. The buildings were built under a slope and tiny trees were growing around it. It was hidden and cozy.

As they opened the dark door, the smith, Keji, was already working on a piece. He stopped and stared as if they interrupted his process. " Keji. We got a katana ", Kenshi said as if a demand.

The man who sat on a metal bench in front of his forge was named Keji, the Royal Blacksmith. His job was to make weapons for the Demon Guard. He had a black beard from the ash of his glowing forge. His face was smudged with ash and coal. He looked at Ben and said," This one". He pointed, still with one hand on the blade that was still white-hot." Your katana will be ready in three days", he said with joy and a smile. Ben didn't expect him to be so nice. Kenshi was the meanest person he'd ever met and Keji looked meaner, but really wasn't.

" Thank you", Ben said to Keji. Kenshi led Ben out of the forge and back up to the training grounds. They walked into the tent that King Polo and Ben were in two nights ago. Kenshi walks behind the desk and opens the chest. He pulls out something wrapped in clothe. He pulled the cloth off quickly to reveal a gold and white scabbard. ...
