Gan Jiang and Mo Ye

Gan Jiang and Mo Ye – One’s Happiness is Built on the Happiness of Others

 

Owner: Sophia; Kamael (current)

Type: Anti-Unit

Avg. Power: 600 (per sword, see below)

 

The twin swords forged and named after the legendary swordsmith couple of the Spring and Autumn Period and converted into Instrumental Weapons by the Eternal Child Maiden in praise of that couple. Their legend involves no battles, having being crafted at the behest of King Helu of Wu but never wielded in combat. They carry the Love of the smith couple for each other and for their craft, the concept of Duty towards the craft of weaponsmithing and the significance of a smith’s work on a blade, and the concept of Sacrifice for the sake of one’s art, one’s pride and one’s duty. They do not carry the concept of Honor—neither that of a knight nor that of a swordsman—and thus they are swords which are meant to be used in ways no knight or swordsman would think of using them.

 

The twin swords are as one and cannot be separated; the wielder can summon either sword to his hand as long as he’s holding its companion, no matter where in the world the missing sword is. Their offensive power is inspired by their sad tale following their creation and Mo Ye’s sacrifice. The Instrumental Weapons Gan Jiang and Mo Ye are in fact not a pair of swords but three; one for each of the lives taken by Gan Jiang before its namesake was avenged: Chi, the smiths’ son; King Helu, Gan Jiang’s murderer; and the assassin sent by the king to kill Chi who instead killed the king before committing suicide. Upon first summoning the swords, a single pair appears in the wielder’s hands, but he can summon the other two pairs at will.

 

Both King Helu and the assassin died by decapitation; if the swords are thrown at an opponent, they will autonomously fly to cut their target’s head. Whether they succeed or are parried away, the swords will then return to the wielder’s hand like boomerangs.
