A short story of a young mare named Silver Steel. She's the daughter of two merchants in a market town in the lands of Sunbound. In her youth she dreamed of being a hero and serving her home in the name of those that inhabit it. Now many years later she is the apprentice to the town's blacksmith Zero Azure. With his aid she's not only learned how to make swords, but became enamored with the path of the sword.

What happens when confidence costs you something? What happens when you overestimate your abilities? What happens...when the only thing you can do is run? Run and live.

This is the story of Silver Steel, The Solitary Sword.
