Chapter 1 - Weapons forged of blood

He couldn't look away, he just couldn't.

He saw how his parents were stapped.

He saw how they begged for thier life only to get stapped again.

Corren felt numb. The Elavari were not ones who expressed grief or sorrow, but this broke something inside him.

He waited as he saw his parents get killed, organs taken from thier bodies.

Corren didn't have to wait long as the harvesters soon left.

Corren waited until he was surebthey were gone before crawling out of his hole in the bushes and walked over to his parents corpses.

What he saw sickend him.

His parents lay on the ground, chest torn apart, blood pouring out from thier countless wounds. But he saw it, thier hearts, still intact and left there.

"As my father had said the heart was not valuable to humans." Corren thought.

He had no time to waste.

He carried a knife and slashed his parents hearts in two.

He saw the black shard his parents had talked about and knew the weapon he was making.

He got the shards and placed them on the sand, as he used his finger to draw a weapon. It was a scythe but insted of a stick there were long metal chains that could snap together to make normal scythe.

He expertly cut the horns on his fathers head as a black liquid poured out. He carrid that black liquid back anf forth until the lines in the sand were all filled, he then placed the dark shard in the middle. The black shard emmenated a small humming as the liquid solidified and turned into steel, only the blade remained black.

He let it rest in the ground an he broke the blade of the knife. He put the hilt on the ground as he carved the hilt in the sand. Again using the black liquid he filled it with it and put the shard in it. As it solidified he cut of a piece pf cloth ans wrapped the blade of the knife with ot as je pivked up the knife. He then went over to the 'Reaper' that had solidified ashe snapped it to make the scythe as he held iy ib his left hand, knife in his right.

He knew what he had to do but he had to wait.

He left left home as he went to the bushes close to his house and laid down his weapons and slept.

The next day he woke up and quickly went hunting.

He soon noticed a lone deer and unwrapped the knife. The knife was pitch black and had a warm sensation. He followed the deer until he saw it eating and then threw the knife at it.

The knife struck the deer in the stomach as the area around the knife went black. Since the knife dried in a warm place the black liquid became poisonous.

Thr deer screeched as it fell over.

Corren didn't waste time.

He rushed the deer and pulled the knife out of its body only to stab it repeatedly.

The deer died quickly as its eyes rolled back as Corren feasted on it.

Corren had kust finished eating as he heard chatting getting closer. He hid In a bush as he saw the pwople that killedbhid parents.

They were 8 of them, but abandoning all logic he followed.
