Our Story part 2

Chapter 4 : The Hidden Village

I entered the place and I saw someone,

He seemed familiar,

I approached him with caution,

Suddenly he asked me about a potion

I couldn’t find an answer,

So he laughed,

Being away from the village, I didn’t know anything being used now.

He asked me why I came here,

I said that an old memory was buried in here,

He stood up and looked into my face,

I looked into his, but in my memory he had no trace,

He asked me if I wanted justice,

I was stunned, how could he know what was my purpose of coming back

I said that justice was my purpose.

He smiled and walked towards a door

Then he knocked on the door,

A voice asked about his name,

He said, Fame

The door was opened and he told me to follow.

I couldn’t leave; I had to find an answer

So I followed and walked up the stairs behind him, I was mesmerized on what I saw.

I saw a whole new village, with people I felt I knew

Everyone looked at me, and in my heart I felt some glee,

The man looked at me, “My name is Fame, everyone here has his own code and this is mine”

And then he smiled, and said “Your name will be Sabaku”

I wondered what that word is; my mind was so confused that I didn’t think of anything,

I just went into this place and walked with Fame.

Chapter 5 :A new identity

As I walked, I saw warriors; some of them were extremely fast

Some were strong, some where superbly stealthy,

And some where precise at weapons,

They all looked familiar; they looked like kids I used to know.

I felt they were my friends, but the massacre was horrible, few lived.

I continued walking, we reached a small hut.

Fame told me I had to enter alone so I entered.

There stood a man, a man, about 40 years old, with black and black beard,

He asked me to sit down so I sat

He asked me if I knew why I am here,

I told him I don’t know

He asked me where my house used to be.

I told him near the old castle

So you are his son, the only survivor

“Yes sir, I am the only survivor in my family from the massacre”

“Where u been?” he said

“I was in the desert sir, I woke up there, don’t know how”

“The desert, and did u learn its wisdom son”

I showed him a gourd I carried.

It was full of sand

“So that’s why Fame called u Sabaku” he said

“Do u mind if I ask something?” I replied

He said no

“What’s Sabaku?” I asked

He laughed then said “Sabaku means desert in Japanese”

“From now on, that’s your name” he said
