Chapter 2: The Journey of a Child
I am Ezekiel and I am alone. I ran away from home and my dead family. I ran so far and for so long that I saw the Sun rise and fall, then rise again. I am so hungry and tired. My mother taught me how to trap animals with vines and a tree so I hope I can catch something. I set up my trap on a low hanging brand of a tree in this rather large forest. I can see nothing but trees that somewhat block the sky and animals that move among them. I wait between two of them.
I pray, "Please mighty Twin Star, help me"
Right as I said that my trap sprung. I had successfully caught a small rabbit.It looked like a teen rabbit.
"Thank the Gods."
I had no knife to cut it with. I had to rip it apart with my bare hands and sticks. It took a while and my hands are bloody from doing it.I was surprised there were no predators that came. I started using the collection of sticks that I picked off the ground and the dry roots that were everywhere to start a fire. It is taking me a while to get it going but it did start. This rabbit is delicious or I am way too hungry. It was actually quite burned. I finish and soon fall asleep. I wake up when the Sun starts to fall.
"The Gods must be protecting me. I have still yet to see a predator. I hope they continue to protect me on my journey to..."
Where am I going?I had no place to go and no family to run to. I miss my mommy. I think for quite a while. I decided to move just North of where the Sun falls. I continue on my journey and since I am not tired I will move through the night. I would see creatures moving but they never moved towards me. They noticed me but would just continued on their way. I would howls consistently.
"Thank the Gods."
I would follow this pattern for a while. I don't know how long I have been traveling. It could've been months, weeks, or a couple of days. I just kept moving, eating, drinking from rivers, and relieving myself on trees. This is too much for a 5 year old boy. At least I knew I knew how to survive. I miss my mother everyday and continuously curse my father. I will hate that man for the rest of my life. I will survive just to curse him. Loud clanging noises can be heard in the distance. I don't know what that is so I walk towards it. It is probably not the smart thing to do but I am desperate.
"If there is noise, there might be people."
I rush towards the noise. It wasn't that far a run. Hope permeating throughout my body, I run into a large clearing. It is there where my journey truly begins.
"What is all this?"
It was massive, destructive battle. An army vs another army. I saw people with bows shooting pure fire, lighting, concussions of air and rock. Some were flying with wings and there people on horses. Explosions happened randomly through the battle. I watched on in horror and awe. There was blood all over the battleground and charred bodys. The army, that wore shiny silver uniforms, that was in front of me were chanting.
"KILL THE BANDITS! FOR ASILLA!"
It was the Magestic Army of Asilla. They were organized into large groups the shape of rectangles. The all had the same look to them. I only heard about them in passing from some of the villagers. They would speak of their magic weapons and armor. They're as the name implies, majestic. And I was right behind them on a small hill looking down.
The further group were not as organized but was fighting ferociously. They looked shabby but persistent. They are definitely on the losing side of this battle. It look liked an army of roughly 10 thousand soldiers vs 3 thousand bandits.
The battle was fierce but something much more spectacular was happening slightly right to the battle and closer to the woods. A man, wearing full body armor, was fighting another man covered in lightning. The knight looked a bit different from the soldiers. He was covered from head to toe in armor while the soldiers wore armor that protected their vital areas. His swings a rather large sword and when it struck the ground, an earthquake happened and shook up the battlefield.The soldiers were unperturbed but the bandits kept falling. It was easy kills for the soldiers. The knight had markings all over his armor. I could make out what looked like a glowing dragon's head on his chest.
The man covered in lightning would strike fast with bolts of lightning, punches and kicks. The attacks were shredding up the land and would kill random soldiers. I realized they were wearing what some people called specialty armors. I don't exactly know what they are. I moved through the trees to get a closer look at there battle.It was rather large clearing so it took a few minutes. It was then I heard them screaming.
The knight yelled, "Tomars The Bandit King, your life will be mine to claim!"
Tomars responds, "No one will claim me, not even this countries soldiers will stop me. Who are you to stop me?"
The knight says,"Who am I? Who am I? I am the 25th General, or as others call me Lionel DragonSlayer!"
Tomars responds,"Dragonslayer?! So, you belong to that family!"
Lionel swings his sword downward in an imposing arc. The air from the swing cuts through the land directly at Tomars. He dodged it but attack kept going. It sliced a line into the group of bandits, killing a large amount of them.It was like a clean cut that separated the front portion of their bodies from their back.
Tomars yells, "How dare you?! I shall come at you with everything I got!"
He then summons a rather long metal spear.
"Your having a hard time dealing with the Armor of Electric Demon but now for it to be coupled with the Giants Metal Spear."
This was a battle between Gods. I am completely enthralled by it and can't stop watching.
Lionel yells back, "Now we start the real fight!"
