Training

Zain was up early, dressed in royal apparel, and was told he would ride with common men. Not really used to this, he didn't pay much attention for his journey only started.

 In the misty mountains of Tan, there lived the legendary Master Naka, renowned for his wisdom, wit, and mysterious ways. On the Buzz, he got to a deserted place, and the people threw him overboard as instructed by his father.

Zain walked without food or water for hours and hours, for days, for weeks. He flew but didn't see the mountains of Tan as the map showed, but he was still seeking to learn the ancient arts of Master Naka. He was really tired, reminiscing about the way he got here and asking himself what if he died, but he was tenacious, knowing that not just his honor in the Warlord Games, but his planet, depends on this. He kept walking, and at a point, he got really tired as light flashed between his eyes; he felt like he would die.

Master Naka added woods to the fire as Zain woke up, with his bushy eyebrows and mischievous grin, welcomed Zain with a twinkle in his eye. "Ah, young Zain, you seek to tread the path of the gods, do you? But beware, the journey ahead is filled with challenges and surprises!"

With that ominous yet intriguing warning, Naka began Zain's training. First, he taught him the art of stealth, sneaking through the forest like a silent breeze. "Remember, Zain," Naka whispered mysteriously, "a god must be as invisible as the wind and as swift as the coursing river. One part of the god is that his foolishness is wisdom to all, and that mystery makes you unpredictable."

But just as Zain was getting the hang of stealth, Naka unleashed a surprise attack, leaping out from behind a bush with a wooden sword. "Always be on guard, attacking and protecting your own home," he exclaimed, as Zain stumbled in shock. "Lesson number two: everything changes as time plays, so change yours before theirs!"

As Zain picked himself up from the ground, Naka chuckled and moved on to the next lesson: martial arts techniques. With a flurry of kicks and punches, Naka demonstrated the ancient forms, his movements fluid and graceful like a dancing crane. "Standing your ground is needed, Zain," he advised, "both in combat and in life." Even the gods need martial arts to improve their balance. Try it.

He tried, and getting the hang of it, he was attacked by Naka, who said, "Not everything is mystical powers; sometimes your body has to work for you. You won't have this same power always. The art of being calm will not only help you in battle and fighting but in your future. It brings you to total concentration, calmness, and tranquility with your soul. This tranquility can make you a good actor."

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Zain continued to learn under Naka's watchful eye. They practiced strategy and tactics, with Naka concocting elaborate schemes involving fake mustaches and exploding foods. They honed Zain's mental resilience through riddles and puzzles, and they cultivated his endurance with grueling challenges like climbing Mount Tiran with a huge rock balanced on his head.

But amidst the laughter and the chaos, Zain could sense a deeper wisdom in Naka's teachings. Through the jokes and the surprises, Naka was imparting valuable lessons about perseverance, adaptability, and the true meaning of mastery.

And so, as Zain stood atop the mountain, his hair windswept and his heart full of determination, he knew that his journey had only just begun. With Master Naka by his side, he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, armed with the skills and the wisdom of a true master.

"Your last lesson is to fight the Snow White Yeti," Naka informed him.

"I am ready to fight anyone," Zain replied enthusiastically.

"But before you do, I want to ask you a question," Naka added.

"Your last lesson is to fight the Snow White Yeti," Naka informed him.

"I am ready to fight anyone," Zain replied enthusiastically.

"But before you do, I want to ask you a question," Naka added.

"Right," Zain affirmed, "ask anything."

"Why do you want to become a god?" Naka inquired.

"To protect my people from Yahweh," Zain answered.

"But why do you really want to become a god?" Naka probed further.

Zain thought about the question and froze for a bit. Naka continued, "At the point of god, you will receive a deep revelation about your future, and you might not like it, but it is the future. Only gods can change the future, so you change yours to what you want to be."

Still contemplating the question, he was pushed into the cage where the yeti was kept by Naka.

Feeling the cold everywhere, he moved from the punch that came close to him. "What's that?" he was surprised, seeing snow everywhere.

"You don't know me yeti, the pet of Raphael, the Archangel. Once I get out of here, this whole planet would be destroyed with you in it," Zain scoffed. "If you are not afraid, then show yourself."

Remembering his training, he didn't wait for the attack as he went to attack. Yeti caught him, hit him on the ground, and strangled him. He faked his death as yeti ran to the gates to break loose. Zain came from the back with the warrior radnack blast and hit yeti. Yeti, in pain, yelled, "Only a dishonorable warrior attacks from the back." Zain, feeling guilty, was held and was punched by yeti diverse times. At his point of death, his eyes turned red, showing him the things to come, and all he saw was that he was an angel.

Denying his fate, he became conscious, and for the first time with his might, he did the Shiva split and killed yeti.

Raphael from heaven could feel the death of his pet and went to cry to Yahweh and Yahweh said to him, "if the land is not important do as you please to it with all your angels, just don't attack Ozan when Christ is in it".

"Thank you Yahweh". Raphael replied with full appreciation and gathered his men.

Zain came out of the cage and Naka really angry asked "why did you kill yeti". Zain replied because that's what you sent me to do",

"Idiot you just brought Raphael here go warn you father to prepare for Rapture" Naka shaking his head.

"What's that" zain said curiously.

"Just go" Naka replied hesitant to tell Zain and afraid of consequences.

Zain returned back not knowing if he would tell his father about Rapture or fight the games of war lords first.
