The Last Elfin Part 3

“Yeah, but it is the only thing that I know how to play, and if anything has a chance it’s that melody.” Shinto said as he place the flute against his lips and began to play. As he did the symbols on the rock began to glow one after the other glowing brighter and brighter. Then there was a flash of light and the rock was gone and the sword lay on the ground in front of Shinto. “Well go on pick it up.” Tristan said as he got to his feet and walked over to Shinto and looked at the sword. “Alright here goes” Shinto said as he bent down and picked up the sword and looked at it more closely. “Look it’s the same symbols that were on the rock” Tristan said as he saw the sword close up. Then Shinto tore his sleeves off and tied them together to his pants to carry the sword. “Let’s go my mom will start to worry if I’m not home on time and if she gets to close to the gangs turf there is no telling what might happen to her!” Shinto said as he began to run back towards the town. “What about the sword, you can’t just expect to walk into town with it and not draw attention to yourself.” Tristan said as he walked through the entrance of the town. “Well I’m not just going to leave it behind. What if it’s part of my past what if this is a chance to find out who I am!” Shinto said as he ran ahead passing multiple members of the gang along the way. “Shinto wait up!” Tristan yelled as he tried to catch up with him. “Hey Shinto stop!” The leader of the gang said as he jumped in front of him. “Where did you get the sword?” He asked looking at the sword. “I found it stuck in a stone in the forest.” Shinto said as he ran past him trying to get home as soon as possible. “Hey Tristan what’s up with the sword? How did Shinto get it?” he asked as Tristan walked up to him tired from trying to catch up with Shinto. “It was stuck in a stone back in the forest. He used his flute to free the sword which was engraved with something written in elfin.” Tristan said trying to catch his breath. “Did you say elfin?” he asked looking at Tristan as if he were crazy. “Yeah it was written in elfin, I’m sure of it.” Tristan replied as he started to lean against the wall. “Come with me now!!!!” he said as he pulled Tristan by the arm into his house. “What’s this about?” Tristan asked still confused on what was going on.
