Abbrevius, a farmhand in the barony of Verbosia, received an oracle.

  Go to the cave half a league north-east of here. That is all.

  "..."

  With this response and a short bow to the priestess, Abbrevius left the temple.

  ---

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  With a prepared pack, Abbrevius arrived at the cave; in it he found:

  "..!"

  The superlatively sharp blade Truncatia, capable of severing anything!

  "..."

  Could be longer.

  Truncatia had the dimensions of a katana, but...

  "..?"

  The blade doesn't converge to a point; rather, the better part of the blade is missing as if chopped off. The strangest part: it looks like this is by design?

  The blade was about 30 centimeters and ended flat.

  Shrugging to himself, Abbrevius left the cave, Truncatia in hand.

  ---

  "..."

  "..!"

  Abbrevius found himself arriving home much faster than expected.

  It seems Truncatia is a magic sword. As my pace remained the same, my travel time was cut in two!

  ---

  The next day, Abbrevius received another oracle at the temple.
