Long ago, a powerful sorcerer was given the task of forging a great sword for the King.  He completed his task, and was proud of his work.  This was no ordinary sword, as he had infused his magic within the sword.  The sword had a mind of its own, and more miraculously, it could transform, using rare gems fitted onto the sword.  While on his way to deliver the sword, he was ambushed and killed by a powerful stranger.
This stranger became a traitor to his land as he killed the King and took the throne for himself.  He ruled over the land as a tyrant.  The sword knew of his evil, and did not like being used for the wrong purposes.  It created two copies of itself.  Two brave knights took these copies, and fought together to defeat the tyrant, freeing the land.  Soon after, the swords and the gems disappeared, and many thought they would never be seen again.
