His Metamorphosis A beautiful villager
The harsh sun and the desert were truly a challenge for survival yet there existed a small village in this desert made out of mud and sand.The broken houses in which villagers resided indicated an active war or an infuriated lord smashing through the houses for his pleasure.It truly was pitiful to look at the malnourished children and old men who looked like living skeletons.Tai Jin looked around and found Zene not near him.He went into the village and found Zene choking a rattle sank while it tried to bite him.Tai Jin slit the snake's head clean and checked if Zene had any bite marks."Oh no, you have been bitten Zene""How long ago were you bitten?""...", Zene looked at Tai Jin."5mins?"Zene denied it by shaking his head."10 mins?"Nod."How are you not foaming from your mouth yet?""...""Can you jump?"Zene leapt into the air as he flung himself 6ft above the ground."What in the world are you?", Tai Jin examined Zene after he saw the vitality of this young boy."You seem

"Shall we go then?", Tai Jin inquired."...", Zene nodded.The camel was a useful mode of transport for both of them.The bags were tied to the jump of the camel and they refused their pouches with water."Young boy, is there anything you wish to ask of me?""...""You didn't utter a single word since we left off on our journey and now I sense that gaze from you""..."The boy looked at the man's back as he thought about it for a while."Can you teach me?", Zene inquired."Hmm?""Can you teach me how to control this thing within my body?""So, you want me to teach you how to control the fragment within you""Fragment", Zene tried to utter the word back to Tai Jin."It is going to be a tough thing to master will you still do it?", Tai Jin inquired."...", the boy nodded."I want a verbal confirmation""Yes""Good, I think we are near to an abandoned mining field according to the village chief it should be around here somewhere"Thud*Tap* Tap*Zene and Tai Jin arrived at the mining fie

The boy fainted but he managed to move the wheel by an inch.Tai Jin returned to check on the boy after hearing the metal noises.Zene was sleeping heavily and thus Tai Jin held the boy in his arms and made his way towards the camel.He looked at the wheel for one last time before leaving and he noticed the mark he made on the wheel had moved by an inch.A gentle grin from his side meant a lot.He looked at the boy and chuckled for he was himself surprised to see the boy's determination."Boy, you surprise me day after day""Not even I was this persistent when I was growing up in the sect", Tai Jin stated.He placed Zene on the humo of the camel and he hopped on the camel and made his way to the next stop in their journey.Thump* Thump*Zene slowly opened his eyes to look at the man sitting behind him."You are awake, young boy""...""I moved it", Zene replied."Good, that was the least you could do", Tai Jin stated."...""Young boy, did you feel it?""It was strange", the boy said.

His Metamorphosis A change of one's heart
Aren and I both were about to enter the enemy base but something struck my mind all of a sudden.It was a sense of similarity that shook me apart for some reason.The environment and the heavy footsteps of men running around the enemy base reminded me of that day.The day when I let Natsuki Mikoyama get captured by the Nine Rings."What happened, Zene?", Aren was worried as she looked at my dull eyes.The day when I just stood there while he was tortured to death.I stood there in silence as blood trickled from his shoulders while Natsuki was tied to a wooden chair.When I looked into his eyes they spoke back to me.On that day he gave into his destiny, on that day history repeated itself and I just stood there in silence and watched Natsuki bleed."He was like a father to me, Aren", Zene muttered as he looked at the forest.("Zene, do you smoke?", Natsuki inquired"I don't""Why not?""Never had a reason to start smoking", Zene replied."Remember this Zene never get into addiction bec
