VESSEL OF AN ANCIENT GOD Chapter 37
“Gotcha!” A wry smirk curved on the corners of Yoda’s lips. This was the perfect way to worm his way back into Kokohashi’s heart. He licked his lips at his unbelievable luck. The stranger strolled tiredly over the grass, walking in between scattered trees. His backpack loosely hung back. Yoda looked on to see the direction in which the stranger moved. He wondered how he didn’t see the horse tied to the tree. Must be tired. He smiled as he decided within himself to give the stranger a heads-up. After all, he had no horse to move with.Yoda walked back to where he stayed. He laughed ecstatically at the decision to come. It was the best decision after all. His smile was wiped off at the thought of Yiro for a moment, but he quickly waved it off.“He will love me now.” Yoda’s cheeks turned red. He took his sheath that lay on the ground, hung it over his shoulders, and made out to the journey at hand. He got to where he tied his horse and kissed it before climbing its back. “Beautiful g

“Hello dear friend” Doctor Haishi jumped up as the voice came out of the darkness, his heartbeat skipped a bit. “Wh—whaa...” Doctor Haishi lost his ability to speak “Or shall I say, hello... spy?” Yoda blocked the path of Doctor Haishi with his body. The slow sound of a sharpened blade clanging against iron chilled the doctor to his bones. His legs turned to vegetables and Yoda loved the fear displayed on his face.His sword looked short for how long it took it to finally escape its sheath. Yoda let his tongue taste the blade before swinging it in the doctor’s face.“Please please please please...” Doctor Haishi couldn’t say any other word. He drew back with every step forward Yoda took. His hands begged just as his mouth pleaded. Yoda clicked his tongue, waving his forefinger side to side in the doctor’s face. It was dark but the moon and stars rose to the occasion.Yoda was enjoying every minute of this. He wouldn’t mind putting an end to it all but he thought of Kokohashi and

“I HAVE GOTTEN HOLD OF YOU NOW HA HA HA...” the man’s back was turned to him, but what his eyes took in was a speechless sight. The man before him had the face of a man, he had two legs and two arms. They were longer than two adult men’s arms joined together. His legs were like springs that just stretched longer and longer as much as they wanted. It had a back filled with muscles and veins that could be seen. His body had no skin, it was a show-glass revealing everything. He had no guts, his heart was larger than normal and dark in colour. His body was red and cream, maybe his blood made the body. His muscles were thick and intertwined like tree bark. His body was like a giant structure made with bricks and thick layers of muscles. Kakashi gasped as he saw the face of the figure before him. His face was filled with hair that ran over his cheeks and extended to horns on his temples. He laughed maniacally, revealing his sharp fangs. “LITTLE LITTLE LITTLE BOY...” The man hopped on

"You look really excited about the possibility of working with Daichi Cho." Kakashi watched as Jay's face beamed with joy."Yes. What's not to be excited about? He is one of the best students here and he has a lot of things to teach anyone. He is in fact, the best to me." Jay lauded his tutor as he made his way toward the duelling arena."Hey! Where do you think you're going in such a hurry?" Kakashi called after Jay."I'm going back to report my tutor. Is that not what we are supposed to do?" Jay looked back at Kakashi, who looked unsure of what he wanted to do."Er, well, I mean, it's not up to an hour yet anyway. We don't have to get there till it's one hour, right?" Kakashi tried to persuade Jay.Jay was excited and the thought of what Kakashi said was enough to make him think about spending more time with his friend. Maybe he could get to know more about him anyway. Especially the one thousand year-old demon." Okay. We have to get back before the training commences though. I wan

Kakashi joined in with the long line that queued beneath the figure of Tanya Flowers. He saw Jay from the corner of his eyes, he looked far from excited now. Kakashi sighed."Good day everyone" Tanya's hair covered her brows. Her crimson uniform was a perfect fit on her. She was beautiful, and it took Kakashi this long to see that."Good day teacher" Everyone in the line courtseyed with a bow.Her eyes scanned over the heads of all her students, searching for… oh, her eyes stopped at the sight of Kakashi. Her lips curved into a smile, leaving her dimples with nowhere to hide."Kakashi, move forward" Everyone's eyes on the line turned at once to the location where Kakashi stood.He looked back to see if anyone was behind him, but he was the last person on the line. He looked back at Tanya and pointed his finger to himself in deliberation of whether her instruction was directed at him."Yes. I believe your name is Kakashi?" Tanya retorted.Kakashi adjusted his uniform as he walked by th

A cold splash of water woke up Doctor Haishi from his sleep. His bones shivered and his breath took a break for a minute. His hands had been tied after confirmation of his being alive.It was morning and the raiders looked to join their colleagues that were in camp. They had gone for a day and they needed to get back to base.Yoda was left with a mixed feeling as he was excited to be the one who caught the spy but also worried about the punishment that awaited him for causing the potential death of a fellow raider of theirs. It was a death penalty, it wasn't negotiable.If anyone could get him out of the difficulty of the situation that posed him though, it would be Kokohashi."Great job yesterday." Kokohashi patted the shoulder of Yoda."I was just undertaking my duty" Yoda replied, elated."Drop the humility man, I know you love the attention. Just own it." Kokohashi grinnedYoda smiled in ecstasy, he was really delighted to be lauded by Kokohashi. Well, he corrected his mistakes, s

"Hey." Kakashi didn't look up at the owner of the voice above him. He was on his on outside, he was in deep thought over how to go about the demon that resided within him."You know you can talk about whatever has kept you like this, right? You do not have to bear it alone. We are a family here. You can confide in me." Zoa added."I have a thousand year-old demon in my body." Kakashi voiced."Well, that's not a lot. I expected more than a thousand to be fair." Zoa caught Kakashi off guard."What did you just say?" Kakashi didn't expect what he had heard."Well, I expected more than a thousand or at least more than one demon." Zoa added, drinking the content of her cup."Um, what makes you think so highly of me?" Kakashi responded sarcastically."I think anyone who can survive the tornado jump must have something possessing them. In your own case, it's a demon. But hey, how are you surviving with a demon inside of you? I find that hard to comprehend. From what I have heard, it's almost

The journey was going on smoothly. The horses raced one another in a lovely display of sports and particularly, racing. By all accounts, they looked like they enjoyed the exercise.The master's horse halted as they passed through a town."We will stay here for the night." The master called out."We do not have any ally here, master. Why do you seek refuge among strangers?" The commander whispered to the master."We may not have an official ally from this town, but I have a favour owed to me. I'm yet to be repaid." The master kicked his horse in the direction he wanted.The soldiers, commander and Doctor Haishi followed suit. They rode for about an hour more before they stopped at the gate of the town."Are you from the neighbouring town?" A guard shouted from the top of the gate. His uniform was slightly different. His gown was a darker shade of red compared to other guards. His helmet also had a special design."Not really. I am from Godlinkers High." Master Yonda replied.The guards

Suke tumbled as Jiro dived straight through him. Suke picked himself up. He swept all the corners of his mouth with his tongue. He raised his head halfway, his eyes hid below his lashes, a veil of darkness covering his gaze. He spat out blood, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “Last chance dear friend. Bring. Him. To. Me.” Something sinister chorused in his words. His tone was like a sweet lullaby in the dark. Only this time, you are alone. Master Yonda dug his hand into the sheath hung by his hip. His sword glittered in the light. “You will have to go through me first,” he assumed a defensive stance. “What the hell is happening?” Daichi’s breath quickened. His voice cracked with a mixture of curiosity and fear. Zoa stared intensely at Kakashi. “Don’t worry Dai, I will not be like my father. This will be over soon.” Her eyes darkened. Daichi’s gaze spun towards Zoa. Words hid under his tongue, but his face communicated his feelings. A quizzical look like a detective thro

“Hey Zoa,” Tanya rushed to catch up with Zoa’s fleeting feet. “Zoa!” Zoa spun around. “What is it, Tanya?” She shot Tanya a glare. “I don’t like what is happening between us. I am sorry for anything I have done. Please, do not go on like this. Let us come back to what we used to be. I miss you. I miss my sister,” Tanya’s voice cracked, her face dropped into a plea hard to say no to. Zoa stood, rooted to the spot. Her eyes lingered on her, tears forming around her eyes. She opened her arms, pulling Tanya into a warm embrace. Her shoulders warmed with Tanya’s tears as they held each other in that position for what seemed like forever. They basked in their embrace, unconcerned about the passing gazes that fixed on them, the urgent feet that marched or even the touch of the commander. “Zoa!” She snapped out of her stare at Tanya. Tanya stood, her eyes still droopy. She rotated to a halt as she came face to face with Kokohashi. “Did you hear what I said?” Her head tilted. Her face cont

The gates opened and the people left their mouths ajar.“How is he alive?” “What is he doing here?” “What are those with him?” Yonda rode into the place he once called home. It looked bigger and better. There were new structures scattered on widened grounds. He looked at the place he once lived; embers of fire heat underneath the huge smoke that went up to the sky from there. Huge men vacated there with black dust covering their bodies. Yonda continued deep into where their leader stayed. “Hi. Where is Master Ji?” Yonda asked the boy from the top of his vehicle. “I don’t know who that is.” The boy said and then ran away. Oh, okay. “Yonda?” The musical voice that called behind him sounded familiar. He turned around to see Maika beneath a hoodie. His eyes sparked, the memory of their last time time together filling him up with joy. “Maika.”“I thought you died.” Maika whispered. “Why would you think that?” Yonda asked. “Um, my brother said you were taken by raiders and there was no

The annoying laughter from below him echoed in the back of his ears. He groaned awake, rolling on the bed. His eyes were wary of their new surroundings, parting slowly. He helped himself to sit back, leaning on the bed frame. His eyes widened as she walked in from the other room, her body drenched in water. Her eyes were suppressed under the heavy weight of beauty that crowned them. She wasn’t naked but there wasn’t much left to be imagined. She caught his stare from the mirror. Damn. What is that smile? That is beautiful. His eyes darted to the door flung open. “Oh, I see you’ve met her,” John said to Yonda, passing his glance from him to her. “She is quite incredible, is she not?” He strolled in without a care in the world. Yonda took his eyes off his brother, and back to the girl in front of the mirror. Her fingers clutched her shoulder, backing the mirror with her head dropped. She scampered off, back into where she appeared like an afterthought. “Why did you just walk in? You

“There is nothing more I can say, John. You two are going to be great men.” Master Ji drew them into himself in an embrace. “Great men that will be part of the stories of the new world. You do not have to worry about the unseen. You have each other. You have a week, prepare your minds.” Master Ji dropped his hands, taking his time to climb the stairs back up. “What do you think this is?” John marched towards Yonda. “Is he trying to send us away?” “This is not something any of us possess an understanding of. It is certainly a mystery. But he has been training us for a long time—” Yonda’s words were interrupted. “Never have been trained to go on a mission. Never.” John jumped in. “Never, I agree with you. That makes this mission even more important now. There is something hidden within that we might not understand now. But I do disagree with you. The master loves us too much to ever want us out of his sight. He came for you without blinking. Alone. The master wants to see something i

"Before you do that, I have something to tell you too.""What is it, Master?" John asked. Master Ji reached out to them to be guided up. John and Yonda hurried to his rescue as they took his hands, helping him up with ease."I can tell you, but I will rather show you boys what it is. Come with me." Master Ji walked ahead of them. Quizzical looks covered both of their faces as they marched behind their master."Where is this place, Master?" John called from behind."Be patient, my son.""Are you sure this is the way, Master?""Continue to follow me Yonda. Believe." Master Ji faced the wall, charging towards it."No!" Yonda and John rushed to pull Master Ji back. “What are you boys doing?” Master Ji dodged them, they dropped face-first into the ground. “Ow!” John winced. “What do you think you are doing?” “We wanted to save you,” John got up first, scrunching up his face as he held his waist. Yonda’s face peered from behind John. “You were going to hurt yourself. We had to save you.”

The gates banged. No sound forthcoming sent him into a fit. Sweat covered his face. He glanced over his shoulders, scanning behind him to be sure he was alone. His breath quickened. The gate crashed with his fist banging again and again. It gave way, and Master Ji's face peered through the opening."Where have you been? Everyone is worried about you and… where is John?" Master Ji stretched over Yonda to check behind him. "Where is John?" Yonda whimpered. "I said where is John?!""He is—he is," Yonda stuttered, pointing in the direction of the woods."He is where? In the woods?" Yonda nodded in affirmation. "I've told you many times never to go there alone!" Master Ji's voice trailed. Restless, he goes back and forth. "What happened to him?" He appeared with his belt.Yonda stared intensely at the belt around the master's waist. "Wha—what is that for?""It is an emergency. Now tell me where John is, and with whom!""He is in the woods. There are raiders there. They caught him." His voi

DECADES AGOClanging blades danced in the air. Their feet danced violently, shielding their lives from each other’s attack. “You seem to have gotten better. That is good. John! Careful with your wrist, careful! Left. Left. Stay there. Left. Do not run away, stay there. Yonda! Yonda!” A fresh breeze blew over his face. He followed her steps behind his head, sword in hand. The sunlight shone brighter, the spotlight illuminating her brightness more. She swayed her hips like she floated, without a burden. She turned, her hair spreading ecstasy. She smiled, and like a child in a strange place, he followed with a wide smile. His lips curved from one end of his jaw to the other. His spine shivered, cold ran through the blade pressing against his back. He swallowed, and his sword landed on the ground. He caught her from the corner of his eyes, the doors obstructing his determination. He turned. Slowly. “Put your hands up!” An order barked at him. He raised his hands. Footsteps closed in on

“I need you to tell me exactly what happened.” “We were on the road here, it was dark and we could not see anything. We lost track of anything and now, we are here.” The aged man glances at the other man behind him. He nods to him and the man nods back. “We have been expecting you.” Kakashi and Jiro exchanged glances. “What do you mean?” Jiro asked the man. “Your name is Kakashi,” he looks down to Jiro, “And you are Jiro Shoei. You lost your brother when you went to a mountain, and you also lost your friend some months after. Life hasn’t been the best for your loved ones. Neither has it,” the man turns in Kakashi’s direction. “…been for you.”“It is not a coincidence that you were both on the mountain the day Lord Zodiac escaped the trapped jar. Every day has worked with the prophecy. Your father, your mother.” He turned to face Kakashi. “Your parents. It’s all going with the prophecy.” “How many prophecies are there? Because I don’t understand the prophecy you speak of.” Kakashi
