OLD FIRE KING:- [Awake with the sound] "What is happing?....what is the light coming from?...and what is with the sound?"

[He looked at the bed and found Araya is missing.]

OLD FIRE KING:- " What the hell,where is Araya?"

[Suddenly he saw the source of light and went near the gate.]

OLD FIRE KING:-"How come there is a secret passage that even I don't know.I have to see it. But first, I need to find Araya. Where has he gone?"

[Suddenly his eyes were caught in a stair.]

OLD FIRE KING:-"That's Araya. But what is he doing there? No, I have to save him at any cost."

[He chased after Araya and went down the stairs.]

OLD FIRE KING:- [In shock] "What..How..how is this possible? This sword..this sword… how could it be here? Isn't it lost 6000 years ago?This sword was supposed to be the strongest divine weapon. But why its has no aura anymore ..just like a levelless sword?"

[Araya crawl toward the sword and old fire king noticed him]

OLD FIRE KING:-" My little Ancestor, please don't touch the sword, it's dangerous. You might get hurt. Stop right there Araya….."

[Araya touch the sword and the sword showed lowest level of power and back of Araya shows the same symbol as the symbol of the sword. Then vanishes when he took his hands off.]

OLD FIRE KING:-" Am I having hallucination? That sword just now show a sign of lowest level artifact. But why Araya's back has same symbol as the sword. I need to know the secret. ]

[He hugged Araya and lift him up and then try to take the sword with him for study it's secrets.But alas..]

OLD FIRE KING:-"AWWWWWAWW…"

[The was thrown away with a brust of energy and unable to touch the sword.]

OLD FIRE KING:-"What is happing?.. why can't I touch the sword and even thrown away?..But only weapon spirits are capable of doing this. But a levelless sword ,how could it have a spirit? I will find out the truth sooner or later ."
