~Some Years Back~ “Ying! Ying wake up already,” “Uh? What?” a little girl asked. She cleaned her eyes before looking up. In front of her was an older looking girl who was in a red dressed. The dress looked very much like a kimono. Even though the room was slightly dark one could tell that she was anxious. “Pa is calling us he said, we are leaving the village,” the kimono girl said. “Yangli, what? Why?” Ying asked. “I don’t know much, what I know is what he told me. When the full moon reach its peak, the wolf shall call to it and the heaven will cry,” Yangli said. “What does that mean?” Ying asked. “I don’t know let’s go,” Yangli replied and pulled her up. They stepped out of the room into the dark courtyard and made their out of it. They didn’t walk far when people with torches in their hands came into their view. There were three, a man and two women. “There you are. Pa said we are all leaving village,” the man said and turned. “What’s going on?” Ying ask
Reva turned to find an older looking man behind her. He was dressed similarly as Ejiro. “Geez, Erhi, you scared me,” Reva yelled. “What’s going on? Who is that? How come he seems similar to us?” “Slow down with your questions I don’t know. Let’s take him to the chief,” Reva replied. “Very well,” He bent down and picked the man up. “Hey, Erhi, why did you leave me?” Ejiro arrived and asked. “I’m sorry,” Erhi apologized. “I’ll go ahead, get your hunt and follow behind,” he added. “Okay,” Erhi shot away into the depths of the forest. Reva looked at Ejiro. “Let’s go,” they agreed and left.… “Welcome back,” “Mom!!!” Reva shouted. She dumped the huge crab and rushed over to a woman in white clothing. A white cloth covered her blossoms while a white skirt was on. “When did you get back?” “At noon. I heard you and Ejiro found a foreigner,” the woman said. “Oh yeah. Unlike us his skin is white and so was his hair. His dressing was almost strange. He is definite
“Huh?” he looked at his left side and found his left arm was gone. “Oh, right,” he said. A five colored arm grew out before blending to his skin. “Incredible. You also use other power, other than Urhukpe,” the chief said. Dafe walked back with a wooden tray and placed it on the log between them. “You may excuse us,” the chief said and Dafe bowed. “What do you call that?” the chief asked as Dafe left. ~GROWL~ “Haha, it seems I should allow you eat,” the chief said. Huno smiled wryly as he looked at the food. He had never seen a dish like this. It seemed to be a black soup with leaves and meat in one bowl and a white substance in another bowl. Looking at the soup, Huno felt he saw death in front of his eyes. “I can assure you, it is not poison. There is no point in poisoning someone from the outside world,” the chief said. “Outside world?” “Yeah, this island and the ocean you see from its beach are all enclosed,” the chief said. “Those before me had tried
Huno laid on the ground. His breathing heavy and painful, his right eye lifeless and at the moment he had only one wish; death should take him. “He stopped screaming,” Hidi yelled ten minutes later. Huno mouth was open but not a single sound leaked out. His right eye closed and tears ran out from it. It wasn’t tears, rather blood. “He passed out!” … “I’m alive!” Huno manage to say. “Sir?” “Glad to see you are alive,” Huno looked around and found Hidi and the chief. He closed his eyes and slept off. … “Finally conscious,” Cleo voice sounded. “How long was I asleep?” “I don’t know, I too was asleep,” Huno sat up and stretched. “Is it just me, this place seems to have grown again,” “It’s not only that. I am completely healed. I don’t need to sleep,” Cleo replied. “Oh, that’s good. Does this mean whatever you did healed us?” “I didn’t do anything I only translated what the chief said,” “Well, we aren’t doing that again,” “I would say the g
It didn’t take long for the two to overtake her. She reduced her size and held on to Hidi as they two continued. “Kirin, just a little longer,” “A Phoenix isn’t known to be like you. Tell me why do you struggle so much? I would understand if this was related to the all father’s purpose but it doesn’t. Why struggle so much? When you can enter serenity and return to the blossom of the all father? You will be reborn in a new era,” “Currently I see things from the perspective of a mortal being. You see it from that of an immortal who can be reborn,” “So because of that you cling on to life and consider it an extremely valuable thing that you can’t let go. When in actual sense life is worthless. We are born with hate for beings we have never met and when we meet them we fight to the death and maybe die only to be reborn eons later,” “If you didn’t know you were going to be reborn after death what will you do?” The voice didn’t reply her question. “Well, I just found out th
“Oh, so the healing over the island helped many of you breakthrough,” Huno said after he swallowed. “It turns out this is good. Don’t judge a book by its cover. More please.” He handed the bowl over to the little girl who stood behind him. She smiled and hurried away. “Why is she so excited?” Huno asked. “Light god, she is one of the few that had never given up on leaving this place. When she and her friend found you, she believed you’ll be the one to bring us out,” “I see, but I won’t be bringing you guys out any time soon. I wish to stay here and cultivate to a higher realm,” “We are but your humble followers. We have no place to go against your decisions,” “Good,” “Sir, here you go,” Hidi said. He turned and found her holding a sword and a shield. “I made four platinum grade artifacts,” “Oh, it seems you made use of the past year,” “Madam has been very helpful. She taught our people many things. And she’s also part of the reason we could advance fast,” “Oh,
~Eleven Months Later~ ~Boom~ “What’s going on?” Huno asked as soon as he shot out of his hut. “Madam made it to a higher realm,” the chief replied. “So quick? It’s be barely seven years,” “Well three months ago she went into seclusion saying she had gotten enlightenment,” the chief said. “That was after she made something she called the king grade artifact,” “Oh…” “I apologize for disturbing your cultivation,” Hidi’s voice sounded interrupting him. “You don’t have to apologize. I’m happy. Prepare the next set of people, I’m about to breakthrough too,” Huno said. “Understood,” the chief replied and flew away. “Sir, these are for you,” Hidi said and handed him two artifacts. “You gave me two platinum grade artifact not long ago. You keep them,” “I can’t do that sir. You need them more than me,” “What happens if I don’t take them?” Huno asked. “Uh, nothing,” “And if told you to destroy them?” Hidi frowned while looking at him. “I… I can only obe
Huno sat found a place to sit down. He urged his energy and one after another his nine stars appeared around him. Their size increased and showed no sign of stopping. “What’s wrong?” Cleo asked after thirty minutes. “I don’t know,” Huno replied. It doesn’t usually take long for him to break through but this time it was different. He opened his eyes and exhaled. “Huh?” he frowned staring at the nine gigantic stars hovering above him. “Huno, don’t you think we should postpone your breakthrough?” “Can you feel that?” Huno asked. “Yeah it feels like Cosmo is filled up,” “Yeah but it can still contain one more, so why?” One of the stars started rotating vertically. One after the other the rest followed. The sky roared and it seemed to be happy. The dark clouds cleared as the roaring continued. “This?” Huno gasped. From all directions nature essence flowed towards him. It wasn’t only nature essence, Qi (True Qi and Legend Qi) energy, monster Qi and an energy that Hun
