A long time ago, there was a precious sword that belonged to a great king. This king would spend all his time enjoying parties and shows in his grand palace. It was one day that some dispute broke out between him and the king of one of his neighbouring countries. The dispute grew out of hand and it came to a point where both kings had to declare war against each other.
The sword became very excited as this would be the first time it would be used in a real battle. It would be able to show its extraordinary talent and bravery to everybody and would also gain renown and fame throughout the kingdom. On its way to the front line, the sword started imagining itself as the winner of several battles. But upon their arrival, the first battle was already over, and the sword glimpsed upon the results of the war.
The picture it saw did not look like anything it had imagined. There were no elegant knights in shining armours, victorious, with gleaming weapons out in the Sun. Instead of that, the sword could see shattered weapons and hordes of men dying out of hunger and thirst.
There was hardly any food remaining for the warriors. Dirt covered all that could be seen and men were wrapped in a disgusting smell. Some of them were half dead, laying on the ground, and bleeding out from their wounds.
Upon seeing this, the sword realised that it didn’t like wars or battles anymore. It decided that it would rather live in peace and, at most, take part in tournaments and competitions. Thus, the night before the great battle, the sword came up with an amazing plan to prevent it.
At first, it was a low buzz that gradually grew louder. Soon, it became a sharp metallic noise. This caused confusion among the swords and armours belonging to other soldiers, who then asked what the matter was. The king’s sword told them that it did not want a battle to take place the next day and that it did not like war.
