Forged on Fire!

“Why are you staring in the sky?” the child asked the Elder. The Elder drew his attention from the Faeon night sky to the little child and said mildly, “Should you not be in bed, young one?”

“I cannot sleep,” the child replied. “What is in the night sky, Elder?”

The Elder looked at the child for a long moment, then nodded and had the little boy sit next to him. “In the past, every year the Ancient Gods would send the sign of the ruler down to Faeo. This sign was to be forged in the holy fires of winter's farewell and everyone who carried this sign was protected from evil thoughts. During the years of Chaos, however, the Gods forgot about it. But now there is knowledge that the Gods have decided that the people have waited long enough for it. Tonight is the night where this year’s sign is supposed to be revealed.”

Looking at the Elder with big, bright eyes, the boy asked, “Can I sit and wait with you here, pretty please? I will be really quiet! Pleasssseee!"

The Elder smiled and said, “Go and tell your parents about it and then you can sit with me.” The boy scuttled away and returned shortly. Upon arrival, he quietly placed himself next to the Elder and both stared at the sky. How long they sat there no one could tell. Suddenly the boy jumped up and pointed at an increasing fiery light up in the sky. It became so intense, that even the Elder began to shake with excitement. It was a great spectacle to watch the fire twirling and forming, changing shape, until finally a sign appeared crystal clear in the sky: The Ruler's Sword!

This event happened last night. Now the Elders in the capitals call their blacksmith and artists to work. Their task is to forge the Ruler's Sword 2018 in the holy fires of winters farewell, which are now about to start.
