The morning does not begin with coffee. Enzis woke me up with the following words:

Enzis : Wake up you lazy fuck. The blacksmiths forged your hammer.
Me : Hammer? What the fuck man? I was don't asking for hammer!
Enzis : Never mind. He's waiting for you, in the forge, right in plain sight. After that, go to Koresta at the training ground.
Me : OK. "Boss"

When I arrived at the blacksmith, I was shocked. How would you describe it? Huge two-handed hammer! With some kind of rune engraved on the pommel! When they saw me, the dwarves who forged this hammer chuckled: "Is this this skinny one? Will it lift this hammer? It weighs 50 kilograms!". When I heard from them how much this miracle weighs... I felt even worse.
Moreover! The rune on that hammer reminded me of one sign. Where I'm from, this badge was used by an elite squad, history has shown that the people in this "Squad" were freaks.

Sighing, I grabbed the hammer. I did not have time to touch it, as the rune on it began to glow green. It was very strange... However, I was able to lift this hammer very easily, which surprised the local blacksmiths.

Be that as it may, after receiving the hammer, I was ordered to go to the training ground. I went there, meeting along the way the Templars of the Orden of the Holy Paw I already knew. The only strange thing was that they looked askance at me. One even swung at me. I thought then: maybe the morning is bad? After all, he wasn't the only one having such a morning.

I arrived at the training ground. Coresta was already waiting for me with her hammer. At that moment I thought: So unfair! Why does she have a one-handed hammer? And they forged a two-handed one for me, without even asking me what exactly I want!

Koresta : So, my little soldier arrived for a training aren't he?
Me : Yeeees... I arrived for that.
Koresta : Huh, i don't hear enthusiasm in your word's. But it's doesn't matter. Cmon i'll show you a few movement with a such hammer.

She took my hammer, but immediately it fell out of her hands. She couldn't hold him.
Koresta : Uhh... this is so heavy... How you bring this hammer here?
Me : You don't believe, i bring it here with my hands.
Koresta : Oooo... Okay. Take it and do what I tell you.

Raising the hammer, I shocked her. But she quickly recovered and began to train me hard.
Koresta : Two-handed hammer, good against armored opponents. These are hard to miss, and if you don't kill, you will definitely break through the armor, and maybe even knock out the internal organs of the enemy.
Me : Knock out? I can't imagine how it is actually can work...
Koresta : Very simple. Hit that target dummy and you see.

Swinging, I hit the target dummy. And it would be nice if the chips flew out of it, I knocked it out with one blow. Koresta saw this and said:
Koresta : Well done. But sometimes you don't need to apply to much strengh in one hit.
Me : Koresta, i only swing, and now i was hit with minimum applying of strengh.
Koresta : Realy? Hit another one, but apply strengh as much as you can.
Me : Okay.

As Koresta asked me, I hit the next dummy - a target, but that was my strength. This poor fellow flew somewhere into the forest. This time, we were both shocked.
Koresta : I saw many very strengh warrior's, paladin's... But... who are you? I never saw something like that...
Me : Um... i quess i cant anwser you. I don't know who are the "Warrior's" and "Paladin's"
Koresta : These are the ones I teach you to fight against. But I think that if you come across such a person, killing him will not be difficult for you.
Koresta : Okay. Let's talk about defence. Two-handed hammer...
Me : Koresta, I don't want to interrupt you. But let's reschedule training, shall we? Can't you see what's going on?
Koresta : Something wrong?
Me : Yes, something is wrong! Do you see with what force I throw back ordinary mannequins? Imagine what I'll do to the enemy?
Koresta : Ah, I see you're afraid of your power. Don't be afraid of your powers. But your strength may not be enough if the enemy is more experienced.
Me : I agree. But have you ever thought that you can now teach a potential enemy?
Koresta : An enemy? Are you my enemy?
Me : I can easily become your enemy. The forces of evil may offer me something that will cause me to change camps. Have you thought about it?
Koresta : No. I'm sure you'll have the fortitude to resist the temptations.

I put the hammer on the ground and put my hands on Koresta's shoulders.
Me : What if not? What if I join the forces of evil? What is evil anyway? Everyone pursues their own goals, only for your followers you are heroes, and your enemies are their enemies. But your enemies also have followers! And for those followers, you are the enemy.
Koresta : I don't like what you're getting at. Are you going to betray us? If yes, then tell me right away, and this time we will spare you.
Me : I'm not going to betray anyone. Now I see what power I have. I am a weapon. And I understand it. You know better than me. That there are weapons, both you and your enemies.
Koresta : Why are you saying all this?
Me : I say this because I need to get away from all of you. You must win on your own. Not using what can be wrapped against you.
Koresta : Are you going to leave and take the "Scourge of Evil" with you?
Me : What is the "Scourge of Evil"?
Koresta : A hammer.

I looked at the hammer, rune began to glow even brighter than before.
Me : More like "Destroyer" than "Scourge of Evil" Especially in my hands.
Koresta : Well, what did you decide?

I got into a stupor. I knew that I couldn't be near them. I represent more danger to them than any benefit.
Koresta : Listen. We can manage without you. With most of the problems, but I'm not sure about Kerrista...
Me : It's all about her. She can lure me to her side, and then you will definitely lose, too much depends on you now.
Koresta : I understand you. Take the hammer, go.

I took the hammer and headed back to Stronghold. Coresta caught up with me and put her hand on my shoulder.
Koresta : You are strong. But not experienced. Practice when the opportunity presents itself. I have already said that we will solve most of the problems without you. But Kerrista... we might need you...
Me : It is unlikely.

On the same day, I packed my things and left the abode of the Orden of the Holy Paw. I couldn't help but feel like I was doing something wrong. But in my heart I knew how it all could turn out...
I'm too easy to convince. Kerrista almost succeeded, but I barely resisted. And now I know it about myself! Templars, healers, ordinary workers. They went about their usual business, and it was even good. It's nice to know that the universe isn't spinning around me.

Stepping out of the territories of this orden, I again looked at the hammer. "Scourge of Evil". Is that what they called you? No. It's just too big a name. I'm afraid that it's not the hammer, although it also plays a significant role. I'll give him a simpler name: "Provodnik". In my native language. He will be the conductor between me, my strength, and the enemy who will get hit by this hammer.
It seems a more understandable metaphor, I just could not come up with.

I need to visit Brin'ya. How is she? Is she even alive? This is just what I have to find out.
