No one approached the rock with the Holy Sword embedded in it. Even those who believed in the prophecy seemed doubtful. The sword appeared as if it had been discarded without any change from the start.
The pursuit and abandonment by humans are so fickle.

The breeze parted the lush green grass, revealing the ancient and simple-looking Stone of Destiny.
Beneath the stone platform was inscribed the prophecy of drawing the sword to become king, and a three-foot-long sword with flowing molten gold-like luster was embedded in the central groove. The sword's blade, forged with a secret technique using red gold, had veins like bloodlines, with silver gleams hidden like the stars. In the center of the sword's spine was engraved an ancient inscription "Caliburn."
——The Golden Sword of Victory.
