"The story was about a young girl and a young boy who had lived two different lives but yet lived under the same roof"The old lady looked at Aren and Zene as she held the hands of both of them."The girl resembled you young lady, she was beautiful""She was firm yet messed up when it came to romance""And the boy she loved resembled you, handsome"The lady had a gentle smile on her face as she looked at the two young adults.The young girl who had reached her teenage years was bored of her usual life.Hence, she used to look at her father training young men to become fighters who would one day protect the country.One day, a boy who was tired from training looked at her from afar.The boy was thirsty but couldn't find water nearby.The young girl noticed him and rushed towards him and handed him a jar filled with water.Glug glug*Haah!"Thank you", he said.The girl didn't respond and simply turned around to go back to her room."What is your name?", he asked.It was then that she f
(How did I end up getting on a boat with 泰金 again?)We both were on our way to the market to get groceries for the feast tonight.No, to be precise I was the only one who was supposed to bring the groceries but this guy ended up tagging along so that I don't feel lonely any longer.But, on our way back home the lake view we had witnessed was way too mesmerizing for me to avoid it.The moonlight illuminated the lake and the forest, the pleasant smell made me want to stare at the scenery for a little while longer."Want to take a closer look?", he asked politely.Nod*(That's how I ended up on a boat with 泰金)Rustle*The cold wind would have brought me shivers but the anxiety I had generated enough heat for me to barely feel the cold."Hey, can I ask you something?", he asked."Hmm""What is your name?"The young girl lay down on the boat and started staring at the full moon."Why do you want to know my name so badly?""How do I call out for you if you won't tell me what your name is", h
"Aren, you asked me a question earlier didn't you?""The reason behind me joining hands with Anthony Raigarh, was it?", Zene added."The cycle of revenge continued to pass on one after the other", Zene stated.On one side Master Tai Jin had found his successor, Zene Lach a young boy with whom the man had sought to go on a journey together with into the lands unknown and filled with chaos, war and fear.The man had found the one person who didn't budge an inch in such a harsh world, Zene Lach back then was truly one of a kind.On the other side, there existed a man whose sole purpose of living was to take revenge. His purpose was to slice the head of the man responsible for killing the previous user of darkness.The man ate sand when hungry, the man drank his sweat to quelch his thirst.For such was his determination just like a blazing flame that grew bigger and bigger as time passed by.For there came a day when this raging fire reached the man responsible for igniting it.Thud*"Ze
"Tell me, How did you get out of that cell after you were locked inside it?", Aren inquired."On that day, all fifteen men gathered inside the building in which I was locked up""I was taken to an interrogation room as they locked my arms and feet up""The soldiers stared at me as they searched around my body for any branding whatsoever and found out that I was from this camp itself""It would have caused a huge uproar in the camp had the higher authorities found out that they were bribed to let one of the kids lose""The men would lose their lives if I were to be searched around by the higher authorities""And thus, the men chose to bury me without anyone noticing what they had done""It is funny because their one mistake came around to bite their necks back again just like how Master had let that man live that day came to take revenge against him""Then, what happened after they decided to kill you, Zene?", Mo Qiang inquired while she was having a huge frown on her face."The men?"
"Just like that?", Aren inquired while she pressed her head while sitting on top of a rock."How were you so sure that Anthony Raigarh was not the one to kill your master?!", she yelled at Zene."Anthony was a man who cared little to none about petty things such as revenge""That man, he has a different goal", Zene added."To achieve his cause, he was willing to go to any lengths possible""That man's cause is not evil but the man sure was""He was there, waiting for Master Tai Jin to die in the hands of that subordinate of the man Tai Jin had killed""He waited for the cycle of revenge to pass onto me""He waited for a reason to take control over me""That was who he was, a man who only cared about his cause""He was the man, who killed your father only because it was written down in legends that your father the final reincarnation was meant to die that day", Zene stated.Aren looked at Zene with a hint of anger raging inside of her red eyes."Did you go with him?", Mo Qiang inquired
"Aren, you are my metamorphosis", he said.Her heart began beating faster and faster and her face turned red when he told her those words.Thump* Thump*"To me, you are everything""I changed because you were part of my life back then""I changed now because you are part of my life now"Zene's eyes twitched out of excitement while he continued to blurt out emotions from his mouth."Ever since I took on the responsibility of keeping you safe""Even after I died once you were my only regret, Aren""I was so happy that I could fulfil my role for a day longer when some weird guy came and gave me a choice to live another life"[...][Was he mocking me?][Or was he complimenting me?]"After I regained my memories you were no longer with me and it broke my heart into so many sharp pieces that stabbed me every single day", he stated."And then, one day you come to me like as if it was destiny that we were meant to have met that day", Zene stated."You bumped into me while you had lost your way
