The Last Elfin part 4

“This is about the sword that was marked with elfin letters, the one that Shinto is holding.” He said as he started to look around on the shelves franticly. “What are you looking for?” Tristan asked getting more confused by the minute. “A book my father gave to me that can translate the elfin language.” He said as he pulled a very tattered book off of the shelf and placed it on the table. “Why would your father give you a book like that?” Tristan asked still puzzled. “Because a lot of legends revolve around the elfin culture and because of that a lot of things that you need to know about them is written in elfin.” He said as he opened the book to see if he could find anything about the sword in it. “Look its right here!” he said pointing at the sword. “What dose it say about it?” Tristan asked as he stared at the sword. “Well it’s called ‘the hero’s blade’ and is said to carry elfin knowledge within It.” he said as he read what was written below the picture of the sword. “Is that all it says?” Tristan asked. “No it also says that only a person with elfin blood running through their veins can wield the blade. It is a legendary sword that was once held by the fierce warrior Krad, Hey look at this picture of him!” he said as he stared in amazement. “That looks just like…..but it can’t be…Shinto” Tristan replied astonished at what a resemblance Shinto had to Krad. “Well there must be some sort of a connection between this Krad and Shinto and this also proves that Shinto is an Elfin.” He said as he closed the book and picked it up off of the table and put it into a sack. “Wait, where are you going?” Tristan asked as his leader walked over to the door. “Tristan my name is Rai; no one else in the gang knows that. I want you to choose a new leader and come with me to get Shinto and leave this town and discover who he is.” Rai said standing in the doorway waiting for a response. “I know not who to choose as a leader, we have always just followed you.” Tristan said as he walked over to door. “Have the strongest fighter; the one that lost to Shinto; take over. We must leave now so run home and gather your things I’ll be at Shinto’s house when you are ready.” Rai said as he walked out the door towards Shinto’s house with only the clothes on his back and the book in his hand.
