Fortune and Misfortune

Yin and Yang

Good and Evil

Though Fortune and Misfortune themselves are neither a force of good nor a force for evil but Fate itself is what influences both within the world.

But I am a Force that brings Fortune to others in need as I will end up walking to places of misfortune.

Misfortune and Calamity is a natural force within the world and isn't possible for one to avoid, everyone no matter who they are will fall to Misfortune at some point in life.

But there must be a balance to it, no matter what calamity one befalls one so long as they live fortune will reach them at some point to balance out the bad.

The death of one's parents being counter balanced by their life insurance that helps the children to survive without them.

Some will say this isn't balanced out as who to say what is the worth of another's life, but it all balances out in the end where the intrinsic are to far for me to even give as examples within themselves.

But I am not the unconscious force of Fortune anymore, as I am now connected to my master, I have consciousness and thus I can make choices to help those who I find are undeserving of their fate that befalls them.

Currently I am sitting at a bus stop near an off ramp intersection that leads up to the highway from this street.

Why am I here? I feel a massive amount of Misfortune in this location, the kind that tells me someone's death is imminent in this location, but from the amount only one person will die so I am here waiting for it to happen, though how long until it does happen I do not know.

So here I sit and wait while no one else acknowledges my presence.

Later that night, by now the roads have gotten busier with traffic, and I could hear it, the sound of motorcycles, two to be exact coming to this area real fast.

*VRRRM VRRRM VRRRM VRRRRRRRRRM CCCCCRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT BANG! SMASH! CRASH!*

The two Motorcycles were both going down this part of the road but one of the riders did a risky move and went into oncoming traffic to get further ahead and the other one followed along.

But the follower made the mistake and clipped a car, going at fast speeds the second it happened the bike flipped out and let's just say this biker wasn't wearing any protective gear, only thing going for him is that he protected his skull and neck as he was set sliding and tumbling across the pavement, but this man's luck must be terrible.

As his bike comes skidding right into him before crashing into his body with enough force that several of his bones broke from it all before he finally came to a stop.

"ANIKI!!!" The one that was in the lead jumped from his bike and ran towards him, he looked a typical Japanese delinquent, judging by there looks they were actually a part of a Japanese Biker Gang.

And because of that no one was coming over to help, their Misfortune was palpable, but their fortune changed with my presence as I already called the paramedics and they are on there way as we speak.

"Aniki! Stay with me okay?! I'll get you out of this alright?!" The younger biker said trying to keep his older brother awake as I pushed through the crowd and traffic to approach them both.

"He needs medical attention stat, the ambulance has been called but he might not make it till then." I say as I appear before them as the younger one with tears in his eyes turns to look at me.

My looks had transformed into a man wearing a doctors coat over a black three piece suit with a stethoscope and medical case in his hands, but in the instant without seeing anything to prove otherwise they believed I was a doctor, a little help on my end to make what I do believable in situations like this.

"Please! Please you got to save my brother!" He said to me with tears streaming down his eyes as I moved him aside as I got to work.

"Don't worry, he will get through this." I say as I look him over before rapidly getting to work, first opening my first aid case as I grabbed a morphine syringe, "Your not allergic to morphine are you?" I ask the barely conscious man.

"…. No…."

"Good, I'll give you some now." I then inject him with some which will quickly ease his pain, "Can you move you neck?" I look at him and he nods but a bit slowly but can still move.

"Good now keep your face tilted to the side, from what I can see one of your ribs is broken and has punctured your lung causing it to collapse, I'll get it removed quickly but you will be coughing up blood so if you don't wish to drown in your blood you will keep your head on your side." I say as I ripped off his shirt to look at his chest to see one of his ribs actually sticking out of his chest and through the skin.

"While I'm doing that I need you to wrap a Tourniquet around his leg to slow the bleeding as his left shin was broken and a lot of blood is coming out there." I say to the younger brother of the two who quickly nods at me as he looks at the medical case but gets confused at what he's looking at.

"Small compartment, left side, it looks like a circular red hose, wrap it around his leg below his knee to slow the blood flow down there." I say as he quickly sees what I'm talking about and gets too it.

While I in turn work on getting the rib deep in his lung out of him quickly as possible while feeling at his other ribs to find most were cracked with none getting into his lungs or other major organs.

"There we go." I say placing it off to the side for safe keeping before grabbing some medical gel to put onto his lung to stop further blood from filling it up before bringing the skin close together before sealing it with temporary medical gel and covering it with a hyper absorbent patch.

"That should stop further blood loss and filling of the lungs with blood, now let's reset his shin and give it a brace, that should give him enough time for the ambulance to get here." I say moving away from his chest and down to his leg.

"Hold his thigh still while I set his leg in place." I say to the younger brother who just nods and holds his leg in place.

"Now this is going to hurt a lot, the Morphine is dulling it but it's extremely painful so grit your teeth." I said to the older brother who coughed up a massive amount of blood to get the last of it out.

"Arggh!…. Do it then…." He said between catching his breath as he grit his teeth.

"Alright, here goes." I say grabbing his leg before forcing it back into place.

"AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!" He cried out in pain and instinctively tried to struggle but couldn't move cause of his brother.

"Annndd….. There." I say as I see it's in place before I place a brace on his leg to stabilize it in the meantime.

*WEEEEEWOOOOOWEEEEEWOOOOO*

The sound of Sirens could be heard as they approached the scene.

"Good, looks like my work is done here." I say as I close my case and put away my tools before looking at the younger brother who was holding the older brother close.

"Thank you! Really thank you so much!" The younger brother said with tears in his eyes, something no one in their gang would ever believe if someone told them about the new gang leader after all.

"Then I shall take my leave." I say before walking away before the younger brother called out to me.

"Hey! I'm Mondo Owada! If you ever need my or my gangs help just reach out to us! We always payback our debts of gratitude!" He shouts out to me to say his thanks.

I just look back and smile, "Maybe I'll take you up on that offer, until we meet again Owada…" I say before walking off into the crowd and disappearing from the sight of all others.

This day Fortune smiles upon you Mondo Owada.
