LEGEND OF THE TWIN SWORD

Episode 2:The missing sword 2

The emperor stepped forward, his golden armor reflecting the light above. "Mo Tianye"he shouted. The Demon Lord tilted his head slightly, as though mildly curious. "you humans are very noisy," he replied lazily. "last time i came here, you tried to posion me with bad wine." A disciple in the back muttered, "That was senior Brother Chen." senior Brother chen immediately pretend to faint. The emperor ignored the whispering and raised his sword. "you slaughtered thousand across the northen provinces .today, the five sect will end your tyrann." for a moment silence filled the valley. then the Demon Lord brust into laughter, not angry laughter, not even cruel laughter, just amused " he said. He raised a single hand. The wind suddenly exploded outward. BOOM.

Thousand of soldiers were thrown backward as thoughtkick by an invisible mountain. Even the sect leaders staggered, one of the elders coughed out blood.The Demon lord sighed. 'i was hopping for a challange." master Limgyun clenched his teeth. "This monster... his cultivation has already reached the Heavely Demon stage." Even sword saint Bai, famous for his unmatched swordmanship-frowned.

"If we fight directly, "he said quietly, "we willlose." The leaders gatherd quickly. "what do we do?" Lady Yue asked. "we cannot allow him to rule the world," Abbot Wughen said calmly everyone turned.

An old man stood there, learning on a crooked wooden staff. His beard was so long it almosttouched the ground, his robe looked older than most of the sect leaders. one disciple whispered. "Did someones grand father get lost?" The old man glared at him. " i heard that." The disciple immediately hid behind three other people.

The emperor stedded forward respectfully. "senior... who are you?" The old man strocked his head. "my name is not important? the old man ignored then. "What matters," he said slowly, "is the Legend Of The Twin swords."

The sect leaders exchanged glances. "Twin swords?" sword saint Bai asked, the old man nooded. "Thousandof years ago, before the demon realm rose to powe, two divine swords were forged one carried the power, of the sun, the other carried the the power of the moon" "Their namies were yang soul and yin heart" legend said that when the the two swords were united, they possessed the power cut heaven and earth themselves lady Yue frowned.

"if such sword exixt why have we never seen them?" The old mans expression grew heavy "Because forging them required....a terrible price" The wind howled softly. "what price?" the emperor asked. The old man spoke slowly "to forge the twin swords, the soul of twin children must be sacrificed." The entre assembly froze. "A boy and a girl,"he continued. "Born from the same blood... their spirit pure and perfectly balanced," sillence fell even the wind seemed to stop, finally one young disciple whispered nervously. "so... basically...... The sword needs sibling to become...sword juice? The elders next to him nearly fainted. The emperor frowned deeply. "That is...a cruel method "yes,"the old man said quiently. "cruel. But it is the only weapon capable of killing the demon lord."

The sect leaders fell into deep thought. meanwhile, the demon lord stood far away, watching therm like a bored cat observing mice argue about philosophy. finally the emperor turned back to battle fild "The emperor turned back to the battle field."

"prepare the formation," he ordered. the five sect joined their spiritual power together. Golden light shot into the sky. Runes appeared across the valley burning stars. The Demon lord raised an eyebrow. "oh?" for the fight time, he looked slightly interested.The emperor shouted, "seal him!"

Chains of spiritual light erupted from the ground, wrapping around the demon lord like dragons made of lightning. BOOM

The earth cracked. The Demon lord struggled for a moent then stopped. He looked down at the chains and sighed. "you people really don't like giving up, do you? But slowly... The chains tightened. Even the demon lord could not break free immediately. The emperor breathed heavily. "it worked..." Swod saint bai nodded. "for now." The old man's expression changed. "where are the swords? The emperor frowned. "what do you mean?" "The twin swords," the old man said."They were sealed in the heavenly vault after the last war." Everyone looked toward the imperial guards. The guards looked at each other. "your Majesty..." The emperor's voice became dangerously quiet. "yes?"

"The heavenly valt.... was opened last night." A cold silence speardacross the valley. "And,?" the emperor asked. The guard swallowed."The twin swords...are missing." Lightning struck the sky. in the distance, the demon lord slowly began to laugh again.
