✦The Tale of Ahi-Karyū, the Fire Dragon Odachi ✦
Long before the Jedi, there were the Je'daii. They did not cleave to the strictures of Light or Dark, but sought balance. On Tython, in the era when the Force storms themselves punished imbalance, the Je'daii forgers experimented with steel and crystal — the union of the mundane and the mystical.
It was in this crucible that Ahi-Karyū, the Fire Dragon Odachi, was born.
Forged in the volcanic forges of Kaleth, its steel was folded and reforged dozens of times, each strike of the hammer guided by Force-sensitive smiths. Into the molten heart of the blade, they placed a fire-attuned crystal — a shard drawn from a cavern where the Force storms burned with flame instead of lightning. They called it the Heart of Cinder, believing it embodied both destruction and renewal. Around it, smaller ember-crystals were set into the fuller of the blade, glowing faintly like embers at dusk.
When the Odachi was quenched, it did not cool. The sword breathed heat as if it were alive. Those who attempted to wield it without purpose found it unbearably heavy, its flames dimming until the steel felt like little more than stone. But in the hands of a Je'daii sworn to balance, Ahi-Karyū burned with brilliance.
The sword was carried for generations, passed from master to student, until at last it vanished during the conflicts that tore the Je'daii into Jedi and Sith. Some whispered it was hidden in a temple deep beneath Tython's crust, others that it was carried away to the Unknown Regions. Most dismissed it as legend.
✦Kito's Discovery ✦
Centuries later, the sword slumbered, sealed within a ruined Je'daii vault. Its ember-crystals glowed faintly still, waiting.
Kito did not seek it for glory. She sought it in penance.
Scarred by fire and war, she had carried the burden of the lives she had taken — Sith and otherwise — in her endless hunt. The Kro Var shaping within her was as much curse as blessing: fire was her breath, but also her hunger. To purge the Sith meant to risk being consumed by the same wrath that fueled them.
On a world scarred by Sith rituals, she followed whispers of Je'daii ruins, drawn by the acrid tang of ancient alchemy and the call of something older than herself. Beneath the ruins, she found the vault. Its stone door had no lock, no mechanism — only a phrase carved in fading runes:
"Only in balance does the flame renew. Only in burden does the flame endure."
When she touched the door, it opened, as if it had been waiting.
Inside, Ahi-Karyū rested upon a blackened altar. Its crystals pulsed faintly, as if recognizing her step. When she reached for the hilt, the steel seared her palm — not enough to maim, but enough to mark her. The sword resisted her, heavy as stone.
It was then she understood: the blade did not want a master. It wanted a bearer.
✦The Deal of Penance ✦
Kito fell to her knees before the altar. She thought of the Jedi who had fallen. The Sith she had struck down. The homes reduced to ash because of the fire she wielded so recklessly.
And she spoke aloud:
"If you will have me, I will not wield you in pride. I will not wield you for glory. I will wield you in penance — until my fire burns no more. For every Sith I cut down, for every sin I cannot undo, let the weight fall on me. Let me carry it. I will burn if I must, but it will be for them — not for me."
Ahi-Karyū answered.
Its ember-crystals flared bright, bathing the vault in red-gold light. The weight in her hand shifted, no longer stone but flame. It still pressed heavy — unbearably so — but it was hers to carry. In that moment, Kito was chosen. Or perhaps condemned.
When she rose from the altar, the Fire Dragon Odachi was no longer a relic. It was her crucible.
✦The Burden Continues ✦
From that day, Kito's sword became both weapon and judgment. It blazed in her hands when her cause was true, and it dragged like lead when she faltered. The crystals whispered the echoes of past bearers, some encouraging, others damning. Every Sith she struck down left the blade glowing hotter, heavier, as if tallying her vow in flame.
Those who faced her came to whisper of the woman with the sword that burned brighter than any torch, yet bowed her shoulders like a chain of stone.
To Kito, it was neither blessing nor curse. It was the fire she had chosen to bear — her penance, forged into steel.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Classification: Long Sword (Odachi)
- Size: Very Large
- Weight: Average
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Burden's Flame (Unique Feature) The Blessed Odachi is not merely wielded — it chose Kito. In her exile and vow of penance, the ancient crystals within resonated with her fire, latching onto her as bearer. The bond is more than ownership; it is a covenant.
- Penance Mark: The blade carries tally-marks (etched through Sith alchemy or Force burning) for each Sith she's cut down. The weapon grows heavier in her hand as her burden of kills rises — a reminder of her vow, not a celebration.
- Ember Memory: The blade carries faint impressions of great battles it's witnessed. At times, the sword whispers echoes of combat insight — or the screams of those burned through the Force.
- Heart of Cinder: A great crystal at the sword's core burns eternally, rendering the blade warm to the touch. When Kito channels her shaping, the edge glows with molten veins of flame.
- Shatterpoint Ember: A blessing from the Force, in rare clarity, the stress lines of an opponent's guard or a structure's fault. These lines glow like faint embers in Kito's perception, guiding her strike.
- Crucible Weight: The Odachi grows heavier the longer fire is channeled into its steel, demanding discipline. Recklessness turns its blessing into burden, but mastery makes it a relentless force.
STRENGTHS
- Fire Conduit – Perfectly harmonized with Kito's Fire Shaping, the sword magnifies her elemental control, letting her channel fire through steel as if the weapon itself were alive.
- Force Insight – Through the Shatterpoint Ember and Ember Memory, it grants rare glimpses of clarity or instinctive wisdom beyond her natural perception.
- Burden's Flame – The blade answers only to Kito. In her hands it burns brighter, its crystals resonating perfectly with her shaping. Any who would attempt to steal or wield it find it little more than a dull relic, unresponsive to their will. In moments of true conviction — when her cause is righteous or her vow unbroken — the Odachi magnifies her strength as if the Force itself affirms her.
WEAKNESSES
- Burden of Discipline – The blade punishes recklessness. Over-channeling fire makes it heavy and unwieldy, and its seals demand follow-through. It tests its wielder as much as it aids her.
- Beacon of Power – The Odachi radiates a constant presence in the Force, making concealment difficult. To those who hunt Jedi or artifacts, it is like a star in the dark.
- Unpredictable Echoes – The Ember Memory whispers are unreliable — sometimes aiding, sometimes distracting. Kito cannot control when the sword's history intrudes.
- Strain on Spirit – Each feature taxes her stamina and will. Extended duels risk burning her out faster than a simpler weapon would.
- Burden's Flame – The bond is double-edged. Because the sword chose her, she cannot easily abandon it. Its weight grows with every Sith she fells, every vow she makes — the Odachi becoming heavier in both spirit and steel. Should Kito falter, betray her vows, or lose sight of balance, the blade may turn inert in her hands, punishing her with silence where once there was flame.
- Force Nullification – Each feature disappears and the sword becomes just an ornate relic and functions like a standard sword.
