The End
Legend describe omens as the language of gods while science says they are mere peculiar phenomenon . I also believed in no magic or witchcraft , a being of pure logic that was me until that day. My story of conversion is neither legendary nor trivial , how interesting it is that , I leave for you to decide . Let me introduce myself first I am Alex as for my last name it is either I forgot or I have too many to recall .
Let me welcome you along my companion , It all started on the day I got the best news of my life I was extremely elated so I decided to take a stroll on the banks of a small river that flows near my mansion today I had everything I ever wanted , everything that I ever wished for and just as I was thinking what to do next a sudden pain rose in my heart . I felt dizzy , the world was fading from my sight as I got sucked into the despair of endless darkness . THUD !! I fell but hit no ground as if I have lost my senses and then 'I ' woke up .
Life has never been good for the citizens of the Xia Kingdom anyway but today Shi Han felt particularly depressed . He has been the guard for the crown prince for five years now and although the pay is good but this job has never been fulfilling for him. It's not that he is not satisfied being the guard , it's just that the dignity of the servant depends on the status of the master and his master is the crown prince just in name . Here he is treated worse than a dog , no even dogs have some dignity he is more like garbage .
"Sigh another day in the battlefield " Just as he thought that it will be another normal day he started hearing commotion outside . "What's wrong Lao Li" He asked the guard next to him."Probably the second prince is pissed again , sigh!! he is gonna cause another commotion"."Shit not again, I sometimes even feel bad for our prince what a terrible misfortune he has" Shi Han said . "Don't bother, we mere mortals shall not interfere in the their actions , let's just do our job " Lao Li said.
Just then the commotion intensified and three people came in sight a handsome almost ethereal young man wearing red-gold robes and a silver headgear , just a mere glance is enough to recognize the status of this man . Behind him are two guards in full armor as if ready for war. At once the young prince roared " Zhao Ai come out and here the royal order".
Hearing this roar a young man came out from the main door of the inner compound . The young man resembled a bear more than a human with huge bulging muscles on his arms and feet . Zhoa Ai said in a sluggish tone as if still half asleep "what brings your royal self here your Highness second prince , are you here to duel with me again after your miserable defeat last time". Hearing the mocking tone the second prince immediately flared up and he said "How dare you, you lowly plebeian!! ". "Your Highness don't fall into his provocation he is trying to instigate you " said the guard on his left . Hearing this the prince calmed down and said " I am not here to listen to your nonsense . Zhao Ai receive the royal order".
Zhoa Ai realized his provocation has failed but he just knelt on the spot with a faint smile to receive the royal order not minding the prince's tone. The prince took out a golden scroll from his sleeve and started reading " By the order of His Majesty the royal guard Zhao Ai is ordered to leave the capital to carry out his royal duty and lead the troops towards the southern border for preventing the incumbent invasion of the barbarians " . After hearing this Zho Ai violently stood up and shouted "Are you kidding me. " . The guards behind the prince suddenly moved and tacked him restraining him from taking any further action. The second prince grinned and then said " Zhao Ai do you want to defy the royal order ". Zhao then said in a quivering voice trying his best to control his rage "But if I leave His Highness will be defenseless. Have you got no pity for your own brother do you not know that without me ..". "Shut up did you forget your identity .You are a royal guard not Big brother's personal guard you don't need to care of him ".
Zhao Ai fell in despair he knows he can't leave as without his protection the vulnerable crown prince will be killed or worse . He still regrets that day, now he knows he has no choice but he would rather die than to let his savior die. The crown prince has saved him numerous times in the battle field so he can't betray him but de doesn't know what to do now , as he was contemplating his actions an annoyed voice came from the innermost room of the dilapidated mansion "Who the f**k is disturbing my sleep shut up you a**h*l*es".
