"Do you have any idea what it is? How it works or what it's supposed to do? Where did you get it?"

No, I have no idea about what it is or what its supposed to do. I found it on a troll that was tormenting a village, I found what appeared to be his camp a couple of days later, but when I searched through it I didn't find any hint as to what it was or where he got it
-
"Huh, that's very interesting...
-
yeah, I was hoping maybe there was some kind of library or something here were I might find some information on it
-
"Oh, yeah, there is..."
-
Terrific, can you show me?
-
"Yeah, follow me... Wait! You need to be tested first..."
-
Tested?
-
"Yeah... Everyone has to go through a trial by combat if they want to enter... Normally only lieutenants can but I've been given temporary permission to test people..." [spoiler]You don't need to actually win the fight... Also, if you pass the test the you can also join the Dojo if you want...[/spoiler]
-
Ok so what is this "test"?
-
"Well, we just fight until someone submits... Usually it's the person being tested but you succeed depending on how good we think you are or can be..."
-
Ah, I see, where do we battle?
-
"Here is fine..."
-
Ok, will we use practice swords or our own blades?
-
"Our own... I mean, we need to know how you'll fight..."
-
*Zak draws his blade and assumes a fighting stance*
-
*Sketch hands the cube thing to Sapphire who sits down against the wall a good distance away and starts fiddling with it. Sketch then touches the base of his neck, causing a katana with a glowing white blade to form in his hand, he also gets into a fighting stance.*
-
*Zak starts to circle around sketch*
-
*Sketch just turns so he continues facing him.*
-
*Zak smirks realizing sketch knows better than to strike first* Are we gonna just walk in circles all day? *He suddenly lunges forward bringing his sword down hard in a diagonal slash*
-
"Wah!" *Sketch raises his sword to block, the blade glowing brighter as you feel your sword stop before it even hits his. He then swings his sword and you are blown backwards by a powerful blast of air.*
-
*zak twists around mid air and lands on his feet and comes sliding to a halt* *he grumbles some inaudible curse* I forgot about that sword. *he rushes back at sketch*
-
*Sketch stays in his guard, ready for him to strike.* [spoiler]I'll try not to use the air abilities that much unless you want me to... He can control it using a neural link...[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I don't mind, my sword could do cool things too remember, I can't control it but it does random things[/spoiler] *he continues rushing towards sketch but drops into a slide and slides right past him just before he runs into him and jumps up behind sketch and slashes upwards at the same time*
-
*As Zak slides past him, Sketch spins around but then trips over Zak who his still and the ground and falls down before Zak can slash up but he quickly scrambles to his feet.* "You're really fast..."
-
as are you... *Zak takes up a defensive stance*
