Biography

In the ancient chronicles, one can read the beautiful tale of the Seeing Swords, weapons only the most powerful and courageous warriors could wield. Their blades were indestructible and enchanted with unique personalities selected by their owners. The weapons' strength matched the skill of their bearers. These great heroes of the past were reportedly invincible.

But time erases the memory of even the greatest feats. For many years, no one has spoken of the “living” swords, and the secret of their origin has remained a mystery.

And yet the unusual weapons returned to the people: just before the start of the war, a mighty warrior descended from the mountains, armed with one of the Seeing Swords. The broad-shouldered, fire-haired giant would not give his name but claimed that he was born of an ancient mountain clan.

The Highlander gave his catalyst to the lord: a whetstone, with which he lovingly smooths his sword during the rare times of respite between battles, discussing his slain enemies with his beloved weapon. The warrior speaks more with his sword than with other people, and only by piecing together some scattered hints can his story be determined. The bearer of another Seeing Sword entered Highlander's home at night and summoned to battle the head of the family, keeper of the ancient weapon. By the time the guards arrived, the battle was over and the intruder had fled.

The Highlander's father lay mortally wounded. He died in his son's arms and the boy took up his father's sword and swore to track down the killer. Now vengeance will ever be on the edge of his sword, until it is sated with the blood of that vile murderer.
