[@Jeremiah90526]

The human ambassador was worried that they wouldn't accept the sword for it being so plain. The Voraki Ambassador gave him a spear her great-great grandfather made in a survival situation made of bone and a stick. Probably took less than 3 hours to make. The iron of Peace Seeker was mined by the blacksmith's father, and refined, and forged by his ancestor (though saying it took a day and had any sort of decent balance is unlikely. Modern blacksmiths can take days to forge a sword of true worth, and they have things like power hammers to make it easier. That sword took at least three days to make.) The ambassador had that spear in her family for 5 generations, and it was considered worthy of a gift of alliance. Peace-Seeker had been in Michael's family for somewhere between 40 and 60 generations, with each generation adding to the story of the sword, keeping records of what it had done, where it went and who it had killed. They kept a record of freaking NAMES, not just numbers, of people it had killed. A fourth generation weapon is considered a relic, worthy of being respected by those who see it. A 40th generation weapon, with the provinence of being made by an ancestor, and created down to the metal being used through the sweat and toil of the ancestor would be considered worthy of a place of honor on an emperor's mantle.

[@justinokraski3796]

yeah it's basically like gifting the Grasscutter Sword in our time

[@cedric3973]

It would be like the emperor of japan the longest unending royal bloodline on the planet gifting one of the royal swords that area greater than 1000 years old which there are a few. That would be a gift. And many japanese had family swords that had been made 10 generations before that were made by their great forefather as the family sword. And even in the US there are fsmily guns where the great forefather made a Pennsylvania long gun back in the 1770s. Thats more than 10 generations. I myself have a family sword that is 9 to 10 generations that is a bavarian artillery officers sword. From the 1650s in very good shape with the metal scabbard. Kept by my uncle. It has something written on it in low german. I will have to ask him. Its Its something like let my strike or aim be true.

It is kind of bizarre how the ambassador didn't realize the worth of such sword. On on one side, I get it, it was just a heirloom for him. but is silly how someone chose HIM to present this gift without realizing it. If it was known how that species values a weapon with a story, it should have been VERY clear how they would value this sword... I imagine that if the ambassador consulted about this sword with the anthropologist who gave him the directive, they would not worry so much. :D

Every weapon can tell a story. Some grand, sum lesser. But, every weapon takes its history in stride, and knowing that history makes the difference

[@chetw3139]

Well said friend, well said. (Hello again by the way, it's been many a year!) Sadly, many people forget that their blood, genetics, carry the history of their line too. Any tool can carry history, from a sword or wrench, to a blanket or genetics. Your genetics are a tool used to keep you in working order, yet they carry the history of all that came before. People forget this. I wish they wouldn't. It amazes me how few people desire to have kids anymore. How ever fewer desire to pass on their family history. Mine will likely be lost this generation due to reasons out of my control. Please. Don't let it happen to your story too. Save your ancestors from being forgotten, before it's too late.

You know if this was a Fate series it would be almost a noble phantasm, An item that has carried a history and a lore behind it so strong it resonates with the world. Its ability though mundane would be to protect the wielder and help them find peace with each generation and progeny. Quite a good story though and loved the ending.

[@avroarchitect1793]

This sword would be a Noble Phantasm that could rival Excalibur in it's lore and power. It's age alone puts it in a similar category. The only question is what would it do when used. Would it be like Excalibur or Gae Bolg, or more like Avalon or even Luminosité Eternelle.

@@avroarchitect1793 Maybe it could have an Anti-Evil trait, with it scaling it's power with how evil the target(s) are, like how Excalibur scales it's power to match the threat, maybe it also grows stronger the older it is and the more storied it's history is. It is a humble blade, unlike King Arthur's famed blade, Excalibur, it is only known to a few. It is a simple blade, unlike the famed blades of Muramasa, known for their wicked brilliance and power, it is a blade made by an apprentice blacksmith, seeking to prove his skill to his master. It is, however, a blade steeped in history, a blade used for generations to protect, to liberate, to inspire. It has seen countless battles, it has taken the lives of bandits, slavers, and tyrants. To the many, it is only a weapon wielded by protectors and liberators, nothing more. To a few, however, it is known as the Peace-Seeker. "Lend me your aid, o humble blade, as you have done so for my ancestors. In the face of this evil, allow me to unleash the light of Humanity's Hope, Peace-Seeker!"

There are ways to sharpen a sword without removing material. My grandfather taught me how to sharpen knives with a glass rod, and it's more like polishing the edge back into shape. It doesn't get rid of knicks, but it does sharpen it. Maybe that's a way it could work? And rust isn't really a problem if you make sure it's well oiled, clean and dry.

[@marekjureczko9551]

its not how swords work think you got a sword of your grandfather and its handel is used up what do you do? replace it with a nev one. - is it still the sword of your grandfather? sure it is then after much use your kid gets it and the blade is chipped what wil he do ? reforge it or change for a nev one. Is it still th sword that his grandgrandfathr used? sure it is. ;P And so we go thru generations to come with an ancient sword from the past ;P

[@almar8874]

Swords are essentially imperishable given proper care and upkeep. If nothing especially disastrous happened to a sword, it could be expected to last very many human lifespans when attended to properly. Correct attention varies, but it essentially boils down to keeping a sword oiled to prevent atmospheric moisture from rusting the blade. A sword that has been used to take only a 150 lives is unlikely to have taken much damage, and wouldn't need much more than regular cleaning with an oily rag. Even if a blade does need to be sharpened you have a choice, honing and sharpening: Honing returns a dulled blade to sharpness, but won’t fix major nicks and chips. If you haven’t gotten any chips, you can hone your sword more or less indefinitely to restore the edge. Honing keeps a blade sharp by pushing the edge back to the center without removing any material. Sharpening removes a part of the blade to bring back an undamaged edge. If you’ve gotten a bad chip, sharpening is how you get rid of it.

[@benlyon5118]

Given how little use it had, it could last for thousands of years. If you want a real life example look up Charlemagne's sword La Joyeuse from the 800s. The Nebra sky disk swords are a few thousand years old, but remain a topic of debate for historians.

They should be ashamed of themselves for posting something so Wholesome. Wow. I legit cried. Well done.

[@13thBear]

Bravo! Very well written and read! A superior work by author and narrator. It has brought tears to my eyes and strong emotions to my heart. As a former soldier, I know this story and it’s emotions and meanings. Regretfully, I have no son to pass on my own blade.

I have come back to watch this again. I can't tell u how much this story hits me. The author is amazing and so is your reading of it. Glad I have it saved. Thanks!!!

[@13thBear]

This is quite probably the very best themed story on KZbin. Excellent and hear-stirring.

[@CARNAGEJOHNSON]

This was absolutely beautiful, thank you

[@taetannim3581]

Holy crap the sheer emotion packed into this one! Just (chef's kiss) beautiful, your reading is superb!

[@NatsuDragn33I]

I... I wanna cry. This is so beautiful, it almost hurts.

[@scotthinger6397]

This is one of the best stories I have ever heard! Thank you to the writer for sharing your with us. And thank you to the narrator for for doing justice to this story.

This story has made me cry each time I come across it.

[@yannguth9516]

Im not crying, you're crying. Wonderful story and amazingly told

[@codyneedham6070]

I’ve listened to this story three times and each time it gets me right in the feels

[@GlitchTechV1]

This is one of the few stories that made me almost shed tears, which is very hard to do since alot of media (outside of a very good anime called Made In Abyss) failed in doing that. It was unexpected it wasn't foreshadowed to have an emotional twist at the end but it worked.

[@kashkara_8943]

This one hit home in a way I don't know how to convey in simple words

[@davidtherwhanger6795]

Now this is a story. By far the best I have heard on this channel.

[@azmitzy]

I love the story it’s such a great story to listen to when I feel sad or depressed

[@generalx13]

Damn, I am legit tearing up at that ending.

[@TashdacatGaming]

I come back to this every so often to read the comments and I'd just like to say to all of you. Thank you. While I will always adore military stories where humanity gets to be big damn heroes and defeat the bad people, they're popcorn stories to me. Tales like this that speak to innate things that make us human will always be the style of stories I enjoy writing the most, and it's incredibly humbling and supremely wonderful that so many of you have enjoyed this story of mine from years ago. Thank you all so much. Anytime I need to remember why I write these kinds of stories, I come back here and the comments on reddit and read through the hundreds of people who enjoy a simple tale of a blacksmith trying to help his son, and the legacy that family had.

[@aycfes]

Hands down one of the best stories i've ever read/listened to

[@canadatrap9217]

[@Dr_Teath-aka-Faolan]

[@DEMONOFLOVEANDDEATH]

For the Narrator

[@sam2x13]

I wish whoever was cutting the onions would please stop. My feelings were all over the place while listening to that story.

[@billgoodman9103]

This story could be fleshed out and make an awesome movie.
