Ajanti Dagger

The Ajanti Dagger is a weapon and artifact that features in The Golden Child.

History

The Crossed Dagger of Ajanti was a mystical weapon known among occult circles in the world and one was one the only weapons capable of killing the Golden Child. The forces of evil first brought it into the world to kill the second Golden Child, the "Bearer of Justice"; his death was a great loss to the world. At some point, it was kept in a monastery run by monks in the mountains of Tibet where it was guarded and protected. Its chief custodian was Abbot Karma Tang who along with his colleagues watched over the mystical artifact and only allowed the pure of heart to retrieve it.

By the modern age, demons associated with evil commanded the sorcerer Sardo Numspa to find the Ajanti Dagger in order to use it to kill the Golden Child. This was in order to allow the evils of mankind to turn the Earth into Hell. However, as it was well guarded, Nemspa instead came before the Chosen One in a dream telling him that they were willing to trade the Golden Child for the Dagger and that he was to find it for Sardo. Kala of the Secret Repository at Palkor Sin advised the Chosen One to use it as a means of freeing the Golden Child and to defeat Numspa. After travelling to Tibet, they met with Karma Tang who informed the Chosen One that only one of pure of heart was capable of wielding the sacred dagger.

Numspa and his henchmen attack Chandler and Kee. The Ajanti Dagger is lost to the villains, and Kee takes a crossbow bolt meant for Chandler, dying in his arms while confessing her love for him. Doctor Hong and Kala offer him hope: as long as the sun shines upon Kee, the Child might be able to save her. With the help of the Child's familiar, Chandler locates Numspa's hideout, retrieves the dagger with the help of Til, one of Numspa's men converted to good by the Child, and frees the boy. When Chandler confronts Numspa, he reveals himself as a winged demon. Chandler and the Child escape, only to be trapped inside a warehouse. Chandler loses the dagger when the warehouse collapses. Chandler and the Child head to Doctor Hong's shop, where Kee is being kept. Numspa attacks Chandler, but the amulet the Old Man sold Chandler protects him, then blasts the dagger from Numspa's hand. The Child uses his magic to place the dagger back into Chandler's hands, and Chandler stabs Numspa, destroying him.
