"Mika."Working in the paddy field, Mika was soaked in mud and water when suddenly Idris's voice came from her behind. Turning around as she saw him, a bright smile appeared on her face and she called his name excitedly, "Idris."Mika lived alone in the village since she had nobody, after she became friends with Idris she was very happy to see him again. Idris didn't tell Mika who exactly he was, he just told her his name and that was all."Why are you here?""I came to see you.""See me?""Yes, I have something to tell you.""Me?" In utter confusion, Mika stared at him when Idris nodded his head in assurance. That crooked smile on his face didn't give a good feeling, what was he planning on doing?• • •"Ohh, ok." Both Reiki and Adam nodded their head in unison until suddenly they both figured out that Idris actually said something else and they understood it as something else.As Idris was about to leave, both of them stood in front of him, "No, you cannot do that."Sparing a quick

Holding onto the sword firmly, Idris slowly walked towards the direction the sound came from earlier. "Someone, save me please!!!" The same voice echoed in the surroundings.Idris paused for a moment, watching the surrounding then as he proceeded to attack, he was surprised. Seeing nobody around him, he got puzzled."I heard the voice coming from here, who was it?" When he was in a daze, suddenly someone held a knife on his neck from behind and in a serious tone of voice the person let out, "Put down your weapon or you will be dead."Idris moved a little and the knife moved close to his neck, "Don't play smart if you don't want to die." Trying to see who it was, as Idris couldn't see it he slowly put his sword down."Now, hand me the bracelet you are wearing."Idris extended his hand toward the person and voiced, "You can take it by yourself, I don't need it anyway."The person took a look at his bracelet and moved closer to him, clear nervousness in his eyes. "Do not try to play tri

"It's been three years since the last time I visited home. The roads, the trees feels so unfamiliar to me. I wonder if I'm going to the right path." Taking a look around him, Idris uttered so in a low voice of tone. After Mr. Armharth had let him leave, Idris headed for the palace but after walking for more than an hour, he was now a little worried since he couldn't recognise the roads. Unfortunately, he had nothing with him except for his sword, some foods and water. In these three years, Idris had worked hard, he had practiced day and night just to become the best and rise to the top. In the process, he got hurt many times but never did he ever give up. By time, he eventually learnt all the skills and he finally won in the swordsmanship tournament that was held in the town. Though he couldn't use his real identity, but he promised himself that one day, he would win big tournaments and people would know who he was in real. Stopping in the middle of the road, he looked at the four-w

"I don't see anyone around, looks like nobody is here." Idris scanned the whole place, making sure nobody could see him he turned around while sitting on the top of the wall. After much struggle, Idris finally found his way back to home. And he found out that actually the forest didn't belong there at all, infact it was a world of hallucination that was created by the monster yesterday. Those birds were just a part of the world of hallucination. Idris merely survived, if he was not careful the monster would have absorbed his energy and eat him alive for real. Just as he was about to jump, an unfamiliar feminine voice asked him, "Who are you? What are you doing over there?" Idris kept his head straight, he didn't dare look down at all. Whose voice it was? He remembered his mother's voice also, Anna but not others... "I've asked you something. Who are you? And, why are you sitting on the wall? Are you a thief?"'Thief. It can't be Sasha or... 'Taken aback, Idris looked down and the

The sound of birds chirping in the garden vanished as the sound of sword moving fast took over. Some boys played football while some were busy chatting. "Did you hear about the new tournament that will be held in the western region?" Among two boys, one of them asked so in an enthusiastic tone of voice. "No, what about it?"Beads of sweat appeared on his body and his breathing was a little heavy, Idris was all focused on practising sword playing. As he moved close to the main door, those two boys conversation pulled his attention."I have heard that this tournament is a top one, many royals will be joining in this regardless of their age, height and weight.""But doesn't it look scary? I mean young people will definitely lose after two matches. How can this be fair?" One of them complained. "Well, yeah. But that's the deal here. I heard from my father that whoever win in this tournament will be granted a title from the Duke of Montana."Upon hearing the words, Duke of Montana sudde
