Revan Winterstone (Finished)

Growing up in a peaceful village Revan had never known much about fighting and war and grew up as any child would. He had a normal life helping out with farms and doing work for the elderly and generally helping out. Though one day he was delving in forest to the north of town where he found a small abandoned hut inside was an empty room besides a trap door down into the basement. Revan climbed down the ladder and found was presented with a long unlocked chest. Revan slowly opened the chest to find  a sword with a note next next to it. The note read simply "You will learn to draw upon the full potential of this weapon, but only when you need the it most. This power does not come without sacrifice and should be kept sealed unless truly needed". Revan however didn't pay much attention to the note, but did take the sword home.

Until he reached the age of 12 he never used the sword for more than play, but after he turned twelve he began to learn to truly fight with a sword from a skilled wielder in the village.  Revan's teacher rarely used the techniques for more than herding cattle but knew to fight just in case. Revan learned as much as he could and tried to learn quickly too. He learned as much as he could and was more skilled than his own teacher by the age of 16

Though at the age of sixteen all the males of the village were made to defend the village from the threat of the grimm. At fist it seemed like jokes only small fights here and there but nothing huge, not to say that many people came back from those small fights though. The last day of one of his shifts, the alarm bell began to ring and everyone was either directed to go to the battlefield or go get reinforcements. Revan was rushed tot he front lines along with a few adults and a lot of his friends. The battle dragged on for what felt ages and humans were dropping faster than the grimm. In actuality it had only been about a minute since the battle started and already every last human was backed into a corner by three Ursa. The group were able to take one down, leaving two before Revan was pinned against a wall and was about to die.

Revan was about to die when a voice appeared in his head telling him to unsheathe the sword in a dark and menacing voice. Next thing he knew Revan had unsheathed the sword and and taken out the already hurt ursa, which was pinning him in the blink of an eye. Uncontrollably and in less than five minutes the only man or creature left standing was Revan. He had killed all of the humans on the defense team who didn't die before, and he had killed the last ursa. What seemed like an eternity after he sheathed his blade, reinforcements arrived to see Revan covered in blood, and on his knees in the middle of the carnage. He never did tell anyone what happened that day, but he was treated either like a hero or a monster by his peers the days following.

About as week after Revan was accepted to an academy for huntsmen and huntresses to be which he moved through the levels of quickly and finished time at the academy in 2 years. For the six years following Revan would every once in a while isolate himself in the woods to try to harness the power of his sword with each attempt yielding difference results but inevitably failing. After such a long period of being in the woods half on the time and doing normal people stuff the rest, Revan applied to be a teacher at Syne academy at the age of 22.

"I know what some of you you are thinking, you think class is boring, you think you don't need it, and if that's what you think... Go ahead and leave. I don't give you work out of class I don't give you a text book, but if you think you can go out and learn this stuff on your own, if you're going to interrupt class, if you think this is boring, then leave. Because if you don't leave now I'll kick you out with extra kick" Revan ranted to his class as he  sat back and sipped a glass of tea. He sat down waiting for any students to leave seeing hesitant faces on a few. He simply watched as a small group of students left the class room.

'Well at least they were honest' Revan thought as he waited until after he thought no more would leave, and began to clap as he stood up "Congratulations! Everyone still in the class passes the first test. Anyone sitting by a door go ahead and lock them" He said loudly as he grabbed a stack of papers and began passing them down the rows of students.
