I quickly dodge under the swing and pull he sword from her hands. She looks at me confused, and I'm forced to admit that I'm normally holding back during her training. Also, I'm not sure whether this sword is safe to use.

"You were what!?" She shouts, on the verge of tears. I comfort her and ask if she thinks I could have married her mother if that was my best. I look the sword over, it certainly looks like the kind of blade that would be cursed, but I can't feel anything coming from it. I prick my finger with the tip and, sure enough, I draw blood.

Showing her the wound I explain this is why we practice with demon silver, and tell her to go get her sword, putting the other weapon against the wall. We take up combat stance and she glares at me.

"No more holding back, old man!" She shouts as she charges me. I smile and dodge her swing, and spank her with my blade.

"Oww!" She whines, spinning around and taking another swing at me. I side step and bring my sword down across her shoulder. She manages to block and we continue as usual until my wife gets home.

"Mum! Dad won't let me have this cool new sword!" My daughter whines as we go back insside. I show her the blade and explain the scene I saw. My wife groans in frustration.

"That's the last time I trust dad to make a delivery for me!" I arch an eyebrow and she explains that she got her father to commission a cyclops smith he knew for the blade. When I ask why I wasn't aware of this she looks away.

"It was actually meant for you... As an anniversary present." I stand there for a moment, dumbfounded, before pulling her into a tight embrace and giving her a passionate kiss, thanking her for the gift. I decide since I got mine early, she can have hers too. Her eyes light up as I go to get her gift.

I return with a bright red pauldron with a gem set into the side. I give it to her and mention I have another present waiting in our room.

"Oh, I love it, what's it made of?" Normal steel, though the gem is a devil gem, charged by me.

"Thank you so much sweety, now about that OTHER gift." We both make our way to our room, leaving our daughter to sit on the couch, grumpily maintaining her sword.

"One day, I'm going to get a cool new sword too, just you watch." She mutters to herself.
