In the land of swords, every little kid wish to become a great warrior, to slaughter thousands of foes to bring honor to its name.
But Samarkhanda is different. It is disgusted by violence and doesn't like to kill people. It wants to be no warrior... It wants to be a dancer!
Armed only with its dreams and its special "Spinning Step", the dance move it itself invented, it marched to the biggest of discos, where the greatest of dancers compete to see who is the most stylish.
But there's a problem... the other dancers are soft creatures of flesh and blood, if it pierces them with its powerfull edge, they'll sure will die, so it will have to dodge them while trying to be best.
Will Samarkhanda be able to realize its dream? Or is it the destiny of all swords to become mass murderers?
