Two Swords, Two Paths
Ten years before Haruhi's birth, underneath the city of Era, two cloaked men leaned against a wall and they were both out of breath. Each held a cylindrical hilt in their hand. One of the hilts was blue while the other was black and had an ominous feeling to it. "Are you sure they won't notice these are gone, Haruto?" One man asked. The man known as Haruto nodded and said, "I replaced these with decoy's, we should be safe for at least a couple of months."

The Beginning
Haruhi was born in a very small village in Neo Arcadia. She has one older brother, one older sister, and one younger brother. The oldest child in her family is a twenty-seven year old brother, Touma. The second oldest is her twenty-two year old sister, Misaka.

Equipment
How the sword works is a little more complicated. A single Concentrated Light Lacrima is stored in the six inch pummel of the handle. When the button is pressed the handle releases the magical energy in a similar way of a laser. The blade of magical energy is two inches wide and 4 feet long. The length of the sword is controlled by a circular piece of metal in the middle of the handle. This piece of metal slowly absorbs the magic that is being released and returns the magic back to the pummel, this causes the blade to stay a certain length rather then letting the magic continue to extend.

 * Raitoejji - Raitoejji (Light-Edge), also known as Excalibur, is a very powerful and feared weapon that Haruhi uses. It is a five pound cylindrical hilt that can create a blade of pure magical energy. The secret of this sword are the two Lacrima stored in the hilt of the sword.

User’s can change the Lacrima by twisting then pulling a small ring attacked to the end of the pummel. When the ring is pulled the inside of the hilt pulls out and the user can the exchange the Lacrima. To put the sword back together, the user pushes the pummel in and then twists the ring to lock it. Due to the blade being made of pure magic, this sword can cut through almost anything.
