Weapon History[]
Level 1
An axe used on the executioner's block of imperial gaols. Forged as an executioner's tool, the axe has severed the heads of more than a thousand victims.
Level 2
But after it was used to decapitate the very man who forged it, the axe became like a living thing. It seemed to be searching for something as it looped off each head in turn.
Level 3
Once, a popular general was condemned to death. The people watched as he lay his head on the block and the axe did its bloody work. A headless corpse knows neither innocence nor guilt.
Level 4
Hundreds of years have passed, and still the axe continues its grim search. Scores of rulers and kings have fallen beneath its blade as it wends its
bloody way through the pages of history.
Level 1
The axe thought to itself, "How many heads have I cut off?" Over the many years it had executed criminals, traitors, revolutionaries, politicians, even innocent, but it could not remember any of their faces, save for one – a peculiar boy.
Level 2
The boy showed no fear as he placed his head on the block. Even the bravest men harbor a desperate hope at the moment of their death. The axe could feel the rush of their emotions even as it took their life.
Level 3
Not this boy – he was different. His spirit was filled to the brim with hope. It wasn’t the false hope of a devout believer, but rather, the knowledge that he was there by choice. His spirit was so pure that it made the axe want to scream.
Level 4
The boy’s execution was carried out. Among the crowd that gathered to witness the event, a group of young men shed tears. The axe did not understand what it meant. All it knew was that the young men would speak of the boy’s high hopes for the world’s future for generations
to come.
