The Singing Blade: Weapon of the Medkai, Voice of the Warrior

In the vast expanse of The Selected universe—where ancient powers clash and the fate of entire worlds hangs by a thread—there exists a weapon unlike any other.

It hums. It vibrates. It sings.

This is the Singing Blade—a sacred and devastating weapon wielded only by the elite warrior class of the Selected, the Medkai.

Forged from the Selected. Powered by the Prime. Tempered by Honour.

When Rogan Bass unsheathes his Singing Blade for the first time in The Selected: Visions, readers are introduced to a moment that is both intimate and explosive.

He doesn’t draw cold steel.

Instead, he brandishes a hilt hidden beneath his robes, flicking a switch that begins a sequence of magic and science fused into one breathtaking act. The blade is formed from the voice of life. From the very air around Rogan, molecules condensed and channelled through intricate inner mechanisms—igniting with a vibrational frequency so pure, so intense, it produces a high-pitched sound like the voice of an angel.

This is no ordinary weapon. This is the Singing Blade.

More Than a Sword—A Legacy

Only the Medkai are granted the right to wield a Singing Blade. These warriors are the sharpest edge of the Selected Ordinance—keepers of peace, enforcers of law, first responders, and protectors of cosmic balance. Each Singing Blade is unique, built by its wielder through years of training, spiritual growth, and physical discipline.

The blade’s energy is drawn from the Prime itself, and it becomes an extension of the wielder’s intent. A Medkai of skill and focus can slice through metal, parry magical strikes, or channel the blade’s hum into destructive bursts of energy.

To be Medkai is to carry the power of a storm, tempered by the silence of self-mastery.

Design Meets Devastation

The Singing Blade isn’t just powerful—it’s beautifully functional.

• The curved blade allows for smoother, faster cuts in combat.

• The wide circular guard protects the user’s hands during intense engagements and blade binds, giving them control and coverage.

• The dual-hand grip—dominant hand above, supporting hand below—anchors the weapon with precision and control.

It is a weapon designed not just for combat, but for elegance in motion. When a Medkai wields a Singing Blade, they do not fight—they dance.

And when the blade sings, enemies listen… before they fall.

Honour’s Call – Rogan’s Blade

Rogan’s personal Singing Blade, named Honour’s Call, represents more than just his training—it marks the completion of his transformation from student to warrior.

Forged under the guidance of the Ordinance’s blacksmith, Honour’s Call is the physical embodiment of Rogan’s dedication, discipline, and destiny. Its song is his purpose made manifest. Its edge is sharpened by the weight of his visions—the ones that show death, destruction, and the end of all things.

But as Rogan steps beyond the boundaries of the Ordinance, leaving behind the structure of his purpose, he knows his blade is more than a symbol.

It’s his only shield against what’s coming.

The Singing Blade in Action

In the hands of a Medkai, the Singing Blade becomes a symphony.

• A whistle through the air.

• A flash of vibrating light.

• The clean, effortless slice of energy through enemy ranks.

But these blades aren’t just weapons—they’re conduits of elemental energy, capable of disrupting magical fields, disarming corrupted tech, and even countering the whispers of the Other.

When the battlefield descends into chaos and noise, the sound of a Singing Blade cuts through—clear, sharp, unrelenting.

It is the battle cry of the righteous. The warning bell of power. The final note in a song of war.

What the Singing Blade Symbolizes

More than a tool of combat, the Singing Blade is a symbol of the Medkai code—discipline, duty, balance, and honour. Each blade is a soul-bound creation. You don’t simply wield a Singing Blade. You become one with it.

That’s why their construction is so sacred. That’s why only the worthy can build and name one. That’s why the blade doesn’t just sing—it’s the Prime’s speech laid bare.

And when Rogan draws Honour’s Call, it’s not just to fight.

It’s to answer a calling greater than himself.

The Future of the Singing Blade

As the universe of The Selected expands, and the war between the Prime and the Other begins to boil over, the role of the Singing Blade will only grow more crucial. Who will forge new blades? Who will break them? And what happens when one falls into the wrong hands?

Can the song of peace be twisted into a dirge of destruction?

Only time—and battle—will tell.
