“Xiga Yaggr is the name of the boy that was destined to wield me, and only he has the ability to unleash the divine powers that was imbued into me.” answered Tharg.

“So you are saying that in my hands, you are only a normal sword without any special powers?” asked Serol as they walked south towards to Path Lark Icur, the elven archers’ domain.

“Yes. I recommend that you use any other enchanted weapons that you may have. ” replied Tharg.

As Tharg finished this sentence, a group of Cyclops emerged from the distance, looking really angry after they saw Serol holding Tharg, the Sword of Three Souls. Without any hesitation, they drew their weapons and proceed to charge at Serol.

“It seems that the Cyclops patrol is back. Two … four … six … half a dozen. Yup, that is the patrol all right.” said Tharg.

“You didn’t tell me anything about Cyclops patrols!” shouted Serol while he took out a small wooden replica of an archery target from his belt pouch.

“Well, I was going to but they showed up before I get to do that.” Tharg shot back.

As the blood thirsty Cyclops patrol charges forward, Serol held onto the small archery target and recited some arcane incantation, effectively casting the spell True Strike. He took aim and launched Tharg towards one of the Cyclops like a spear, impaling one of the Cyclop’s eye.

Much blood gushed out as Tharg went right through the Cyclop’s eye, the tip of the blade coming out from the back of the Cyclop’s head as well as some of what appears to be the Cyclops brain matter. The remaining five Cyclops seem to slow down a bit, taking a more cautious approach after the first Cyclop collapsed to the ground with an earth shaking thud, which is now obviously quite dead.

“Did you really have to do that?” asked Tharg who is not quite amused.

“Oh stop complaining, I still have to deal with the remaining five!” answered Serol as he put back the small archery target into his belt pouch, while drawing a butter knife.

“Hah! Are you going to use that little knife against the Cyclops?” laughed Tharg.

“I took out the Cyclops that was guarding you with this Cyclops Slaying Knife, gonna do the same to these.” replied Serol who is now holding the knife which is glowing brightly reddish now.
