The Last Of The Arelim

a young man by the name Stephen Elpidios woke up one day and couldn’t stop thinking about a dream he keeps having of him as a commander of an army who was in a war with demons whos general was known as the Malachi. one day after Stephen awoke he felt a strange desire to open a storage container that he had been given a key too by his father before he and his mother passed from a crash so he drove to his parent’s old home which he owned and kept as a memory of them. he went into the back yard where the container was and open at first he thought he saw a collection of rusted blades.

then something caught his eye he looked over at a sword that’s sheath and blade was in pristine condition as if it had just been put in the container but he was the only one with a key to container so that would be impossible when picked up the blade he immediately felt a surge of what felt like electricity go through his body then he mind was flooded with what seemed to be memory but not of his own these one were someone else when he tried to let go of the hilt he couldn’t something was keeping him from letting go after a little Stephen fell to the ground as the memories raced through his mind until he couldn’t differentiate what memories were his own and what memories were someone else. when the memory finally subsided he got up and noticed that there was a set of armor that was also in pristine condition just as the sword was but he hesitated to pick it up in fear that the same thing might happen when he touches the armor as when he touched the sword.

He finally picked up armor and to his luck, it didn’t cause the same flood of memories as the sword did later that day he called a friend of his that was a historian and asked him what era the sword was when he showed him the sword his friend immediately asked how he got that sword and then said how it was from the Malachi war and that the sword belonged to a commander who was arelim which were a powerful race of warriors who were seen as gods and worshipped and that the sword belongs to Durandal Elpidios he was so powerful and people believed he drew his power directly from the source unlike other arelim who drew power from the separate gods who drew power from the source and he asked Stephen again where he got and when Stephen told him that he found in a storage container that his parents owned. after he said that Jason asked if he knew his family tree and Stephen replied yes and if I remember correctly I am related to someone by the name Durandal.
