7 Swords

By Matt Grindell

*Note to Jack: Stryke: The First has been finished... I hope you got it all*

Prologue:

 The great smith loomed over his anvil, hammer and chisel in hand. He set a steel bar upon the anvil, placeing his chisel onto the bar. Carefully, he hammered the chisel, starting a blade. His assistant stood to his left, carving the last of 7 different hilts.

 "Damn!" his assistant cursed, swiping hair away from her face.
