They spent days training and working. Gale had gotten fairly good with working the new material but he hadn't mastered it and that was Ceru's goal for him. Keiko had yet to return to the shop and they had buried Miko in the secret room. Gale made a tombstone out of a piece of the shops stone wall and carved in: "Fought with honor and rests in peace. May we find each other once more in the next life." They had cleaned up the shop as well and had even begun to rebuild the walls while they weren't busy. Soon they had spent a week in the town. Gale had just completed his ninth set of perfect swords. "Good job Gale." Ceru looked over them. "Yes. Im proud of you my son. Very proud. These are flawless. Best ones yet." Ceru handed them back to Gale. "What next?" Ceru smiled. "You train. You have mastered the materials that I spent two years to perfect." Gale's siblings smiled. "Now you get to fight us. Prepare to lose for once." Koujin stepped up. Gale looked down at the swords. Their blades were black but gave off a faint red glow. The guards were covered in grey fur which resembled that of a wolf's. The handles were wrapped in white cloth which was heated into place. Two long pieces came off of each of their handles and hung about half of foot from them. "Heh.... If you think so." Gale walked outside of the shop and raised his swords. "Who is first?" Koujin stepped forward. "You are goin down."
