The Legend Of The Golden Eyes

Chapter 1: 1. The Legend Of The Dragon's Eyes

As the eastern breeze carried the whistle flowers along with its beautiful rhythms and colours, the warm gaze of the sun transpired through the shades of the beautiful cherry blossoms planted in a straight line from the beginning of the street to the end of it.

Its petals filled the entire grassroots and the walkways of each area it covered... It was a rare sight to see.

The story behind these flowers remained a mystery, likewise the buildings. They bored a tragedy, and had been there before time, bringing forth legends that carries that its planter wasn't even known by their forefathers.

Apart from the fact that its formation was a mystery, the stories and encounters of many made it even more convincing that it was Qiángdà– An abomination spread vastly in the lands, a curse carried for countless generations.

This made the entire section forbidden, completely out of reach, instilling fears in the heart of the people such that no one dared to penetrate, not even researchers.

As the ones who made attempts were diagnosed with incurable diseases and the ones who trespassed were never seen again, it became even more believable.

Most people say it was their beliefs, some say it was a bad omen, and others say it was the ghost of the mysterious owner of the estate.

In conclusion, they were just mere assumptions from the neighboring towns and other communities, no one had gone in and encountered such– another rumor carried.

But indeed, the history of this estate is traced back to an abomination, a secret that was never discovered and still unexplainable to date. A story only the people of old had a little detail about its true source but was left untold because they were all dead. A story that still left chills in the spine of the people bold enough to even listen to it.

It was told that the victim of the circumstance was never seen by anyone because he never came out, he was lost forever. It was also said that even when some eligible men in the community (elders and youths) gathered themselves and decided to get rid of the evil in their community, they were also never seen again.

The multitudes disappeared to date... Not even their bones found.

... Right inside this mysterious estate held a myth. An unspoken taboo. A feared tale. A legend. Not just any legend, but the legend of the dragon's eyes.

The dragon's eyes had lived there for over 100 billion years and had been the source of the prosperity of the entire country and communities in general. No one had ever seen it or even been able to imagine how a myth as powerful as this became so popular because only the thoughts of its terror should be able to keep you awake for the rest of your life rest assured, not to talk of being able to encounter it.

Even legend carries that the power of the entire universe dwelled in the eyes of the dragon. And those eyes had been asleep for billions of years, its location, unknown to date – one of the more reasons why it was considered to be a myth.

The only rationale why its powers were not forgotten was because of so many emphases of the old that was gotten from the impacts it left decades ago, hailing from an Ancient historical articulation that carried that the dragon eyes were only awakened by just one element.

An unfathomable element, one that is considered the rarest of all times because it only blooms after a billion years. This element is also said to trigger the protector of the golden eyes and the harbinger of doom in so many ways when it is close by or blooms. Its scent can be smelled from three countries away by the protector and its blood was the only instrument to raise the myth.

Having been that only this element put it to sleep and only this element could raise it the same way it lured it to bed, this element was its only weakness. This formidable element is called The Green Water Flower.

For centuries and over time, the fate of the green water Flower and The dragon eyes have been intertwined so many eras. In most lives, they were enemies, in other lives, they were rivals and have always had complicated relationships, and in different dimensions, they have lead wars against one another brutally but never have they ever been lovers in any lifetime.

Sometimes they meet in battlefields and other times they meet before death. One way or another, they always find their way back to each other, loathing for all eternity.

The protector of the dragon eyes, however, is said to be one of the most deadly beings to ever encounter. It shows no mercy to its prey and devours anything that trespasses the territory of the sleeping misery.

Its existence and lifespan are also mysterious. No one has ever said it to be seen not only in the moment of your death, and its eyes, the last thing you will see on your deathbed.
