The glow of flames illuminated the forge, as the auditory sensation of metal being worked filled the room. One could hear chanting and weeping as the blade was cooled and heated aging, as the moon light entered through a window above the forge. Each hit of the hammer made the sword glow with a blue aura. The smith a unicorn, whose fur was gray, her mane and tail black and her cutie mark was a great hammer, her eyes glowed blue like the blade.

After a few more times of heating the blade and cooling it, the smith started to engrave ancient runes onto the sword. The blade seemed to glowing brighter with each rune engraved upon it. As the rune was made, a powerful, blinding light filled the room. Once the light had past, the smith held the blade high, as the light from the moon seemed to dance around.

The sword glowed a gentle, low illumination, as the light from the forge reflected off the silver blade. The hilt of the blade was made of ivory, it had one large pearl embedded in the pommel of the hilt. Two silver phoenix decorated the cross guard of the hilt. The smith smiled at her hoof work, this was her greatest and powerful weapon she, or anypony had ever forged.

Two great doors swung open, as light from the hall illuminated the room, revealing many unicorns wearing robes with their heads bent. A unicorn entered the room whose fur was dark brown his mane and tail were teal, and he wore robes of white and gold. His long beard touched the floor as he walked, and his eyes held great wisdom.

“You have done well Blue Valor.” The unicorn who had entered the room said, as he inspected the blade.”But let us hope this blade never falls into the wrong hooves, for it could begin a reign of evil unheard of in the history of pony kind.”

Blue Valor placed the blade gently on the anvil.”Yes, but in the right hooves it will destroy evil and bring peace, and the blade is called Chiaroscuro. But we should hide it until the time come when it is needed.”  Blue Valor said.

“Yes and we will, for I have seen a great darkness that will come upon this world one day, when I know not. But we will guard this blade and watch for the one meant to wield it.” The dark brown unicorn said.

“Good, but if you don’t mind ,I’ll take my leave for now since I need to rest.” Blue Valor said, with a yawn.

“Very well, we talk more about it when you awake.” The dark brown unicorn said. As Blue Valor started walking to the doors.
