THE ULTIMATE SWORD

Continued

General Eagle, with a kind but serious demeanor, said to the Prince, “Sir, if you wish to learn about the Ultimate Sword—a closely guarded secret of our army—please follow me.” Silently, the Prince followed the General down a narrow path that led through a secluded section of the army headquarters. They moved deeper into the forest, and as they walked, the General began to explain in a low voice, “The Ultimate Sword training is our nation’s secret technique. It teaches warriors to make the sword invisible and capable of producing sound.” The Prince, though surprised, maintained his composure and listened patiently. After a pause, the General continued, “An invisible sword is an invincible weapon.” They soon arrived at a training field where a group of warriors was in action. The Prince observed them moving swiftly in all directions, yet he could see no swords—only beams of light darting like butterflies in the sunlight. To his amazement, he heard harmonious, steely sounds, as if a hidden orchestra played an enchanting tune. The Prince started to ask a question, but the General motioned him to stay silent and continue walking. Shortly, they reached a clearing surrounded by large, carefully arranged stones, forming a secluded meeting space within the forest. Here, the two sat quietly, taking in the beauty and tranquility of this hidden sanctuary guarded by the army. After a moment, the General began a solemn lecture. It was one that the Prince would remember for years, especially when he became king. “The sound produced by a sword in motion reveals its quality and the skill of its wielder,” the General explained. “In the hands of our warriors, the Ultimate Sword can become invisible and produce musical tones that disorient enemies. There are five distinct sounds, each tied to one of the sword’s cutting lines: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, reverse, and circular.” He continued, “The Ultimate Sword’s secret lies in two elements: its construction and the training of its wielder. The sword is crafted from a special blend of steel, allowing it to vanish from view at certain angles. As for the training, it involves mastering a precise set of movements—an ‘Ultimate Sword Lesson’—a sequence that every warrior learns by heart and can perform even with closed eyes.” Listening intently, the Prince finally asked, “When I am king, will I have access to the secrets of making our Ultimate Sword?” The General’s response was cold: “No.” The Prince, surprised, pressed, “Why not?” With a slight pause, the General replied, “We let our enemies believe that the king possesses this knowledge. They act on that belief, giving us an advantage.” He added with a stern look, “Remember, Sir, in war, secrecy and surprise are everything.”
