The Boundless Sage Decides To Die

The sage stood on top of the cherry blossom peak, as the cherry trees shed beautiful leaves. He looked on to at the horizon seemingly thinking something, contemplating something. Soon after he shook his head in agreement and started walking backwards. Leaving the cherry blossom behind him.

He returned to the palace like academy of martial arts which place he called home. He entered the academy as all teachers and students alike showed utmost respect to him welcoming him in. He entered his office room sat down on his chair and then looked at the wall to his right.

He saw an image of a younger version of himself and another young man with a green and white robe like he had in the picture. There also was a girl there with the same color dress and skirt.

Ahh he remembered the old days. The days when he had to rank up and progress and go up the ladder of power by a little. He also reminisced about how he was chosen as the hero who'd save the world from the supreme darklord and his dark magic.

Truly he was something else in his youth. He didn't even know how he defeated the darklord at that time. He truly never thought he'd be able to do it, but he still did. And he also won and brought peace to the world.

But once that was done he wasn't given rest. Rather he was given more duty and more work. His work load doubled. He worked and worked and worked. He couldn't even breathe for a second without a complaint coming in to his office. And to this day he has not finished even a fraction of his work.

He hadn't even married yet, and he was now about a 100 years old. Sure it was young for a sage let alone a supreme sage. But still, he also had wants, he also had needs. He was human too. As long as he had flesh and blood in his body he was human.

The civil war they had going on in the country was the main reason he was so busy. He wasn't able to go back to normal life while the civil war was going on. Truly a pain he thought. This civil war had been going on ever since the war against the darklord ended and as he was the highest ranking person in the world he would always be needed till his death.

He took out a knife from his drawer. He looked at the drawer carefully examining it, soon he enchanted it with his own Qi and it started glowing. A slight smile emerged on the face of the sage.

[A few hours later]

A man came rushing into the emperor's hall. Everyone was stunned at his entrance, it was a messanger. The emperor said "you should really ask before coming in!" In an angry voice. "I'm so sorry sire! But there's important news for you!" "What is it? Tell me." "The world's greatest martial artist and cultivator, the defeator of the darklord the Supreme sage Kai has died today!" "What?! What are you saying?! He's can't be dead, no one can kill him nor is his life as short as us mere mortals. What has happened?!" "We believe he took his own life sire. We have found traces of his own Qi in the knife he used to cut his nerves."

"What?! This is bad! And we're assuming the next calamity will arrive in just 3 months. It's demons this time. We're doomed. Prime minister make sure this message reaches every country. They'll know what to do once they hear it" "yes your majesty" the emperor dismissed the messanger with a gesture of his hands and started biting his teeth in frustration.

Why?! Why did he have to kill himself.. now everything was gonna be destroyed, this kingdom that was built by his father his position. Everything. This was truly a tragedy. The kingdom of Dro was about to end, not only the dro kingdom but also the human race if they didn't act quick.

[At The Capital Of The Country Of Rabia]

A caravan containing 10 people was at the gates of the city of Rabia in the country of Rabia. As they got close to check point one of them started a conversation with someone beside them "Hello! May name is alnasr alfidiyu. What about you?" The man in the black robe looked at him and replied "Venra"

"Ahh from the kingdom of Dro I suppose?" "Yes, you I suppose are native?" "Oh yes. Very much am sir. What are you here for may I ask?" "Here to start a new life I guess you could say."

"Ahh, of course of course. Many people come here for that reason. Well our shop is actually hiring people, it's a cleaner job but it's better than nothing. So, if you ever decide to work as a cleaner give us a visit. We'd be happy to have you!" The man in the black robe smiles "sure thing."

As they end their conversation they reach the check point where there credentials would be checked. They all get off and one by one start getting checked and start going in.

As it's venra's turn he goes Infront of the officer and shows his card to the officer. The officer once looks at the card then at venra then at the card again, the officer does this a few times over, making even the ones not getting checked tensed. Finally the officer utters "you may pass. NEXT!"

The tension as thick as butter was finally broken by the sound. Venra entered the city of Rabia and looked around the grand city he had just entered. There were nice cozy houses right Infront of entrance gate. Caravans moving here and there taking food furniture if not other things. This time of the year many people moved in to the city and many left. That is why there was so much new furniture being moved around.

Venra felt mesmerized by the new town he had just entered. This was his new home. His new base of operation. Here he would become a new great man. Now he'd build himself from the ground up again. And he had the necessary tools already.

"I guess I'll just have to welcome myself into my new home..."

"Hello there!"
