Joseph's Legacy
Mother and father looked at each other faces…
"Babette, Tyrone, come on, it is time to eat," an old voice came from outside the house.
Doro, aka Sile, looked outside; it was his new grandmother— Vanessa.
'I don't like this 'Doro' name… sigh' he always said that to himself, he didn't like the name, but what could he do? He was not more than a five-year-old kid now.
"Yeah, yeah," mother, with the name Babette nodded.
"Indeed, it is time to eat," Tyrone, father of Sile, said and avoided the topic.
"Mother, father… you said you will say everything! If you didn't say it, I would not move a single inch from here, and I will not eat too!" Sile said to them in determination; he waited for this for four years, four fucking years, how could he let the chance go today! Even though he would get many like this, he didn't want to miss what he got now.
Babette and Tyrone looked at him.
"Look son, it is not that we don't want to tell, it is just you will not understand anything…"
"Father, when it comes to those things, I can understand them more than you," Sile said to him with a proud face.
Both of them sighed; their son was too intelligent; he could speak when he was eight months old and could walk and run at ten months! He learned how to communicate clearly when he was one year old; he could read things, write, and understand even the complex things they had never heard of.
"Okay, we will tell, but we don't act this time…"
"Who asked you to act last time…" Sile sighed, he just wanted to know it, but they were showing it to him; well, he didn't mind, to be honest.
"Babette, what do you say?" Tyrone said and looked at her.
"I- just tell him, there is no need to hide anything from him anyway," Babette said.
"Indeed," Sile said with a nod.
"Then… okay" Tyrone nodded and looked at Sile.
"Listen, Doro; you shouldn't tell this to many people. Only to those who are close to you and trustworthy people.
"Okay," Sile nodded.
"Ahem," mother and father cleaned their throats.
"Long, Long ago, there was a boy name… Doro, he was a very intelligent person and also the strongest person.
When he was five years old, he was able to do many things not even adults were not able to do, and he was also the same height as adults… every year; he grew taller and taller. When he was ten years old, he was already 3 meters tall. And it was that day that he awoke his powers. He could control the most dangerous weapon, fire… and it was not an ordinary fire. It was a fire that could burn down anything. Even the fireproof tree was burned by his fire.
Since he was born with Sun God's blessings, he was able to control the Sun Fire… it was not only about controlling fire, but he was totally able to become fire; every single part of him could turn into fire.
It was when everyone in the world started to come to Doro and see the miracles.
As things were going, Sun God's followers and believers became so big other gods started to get jealous of his believers and followers.
All gods gathered and made a meeting; everyone god wanted someone like Sun God's Doro. So they could get followers and the ex-believes back.
But they couldn't do it, we don't know the reason, but they only got two options, one was to bless Doro himself with their powers. Or leave it.
Many gods decided to bless Doro and give him their powers.
Doro, who was blessed with many gods, became at the top of the world in no time. He could turn into fire, water, thunder, earth, metal, anything he wanted.
At the age of 15, he had his first child.
Adad was his son name. That was when the twist took a turn. When his son was five years old, he awoke his power. He got the power of Storm and flood; with his fingertips, he could destroy the whole country.
2nd son was Alain; he was the most handsome man ever born. When he was five years old, he has awoken by the power of the earth. There was a saying that Alain could remake the whole world without sweating.
Doro's third child was a girl, she was born to a woman he married, and she was from a distant place. Her name was Rasine. She was able to awaken her powers when she was five years old, but her ability was more potent than her two brothers.
She was able to control Sun Fire and Moon Ice. With fire on the right and ice on the left, she became a favorite child of Doro until other children were born.
Doro got nothing to do, actually, so he slept with every woman he saw but only impregnated the lady he married.
When he was 80 years old, he already had 1000 women as his wife. And had 1000 children. He never let a single woman have two children. And if any woman could bear his child, he sent her back home… as everything was going smooth… no one would have expected that one of his sons would run away from home.
He taught his children that they should never sleep with anyone. Even if they did, they should give their seeds or bear them. Their blood has the power! The blood which the Gods blessed shouldn't be misused…
When Gods had a meeting 90 or so years ago, some Gods didn't give their blessings to Doro and have had an eye on him since then. Now they got a chance; they used it.
They made one of his children run away from his home. Even Doro sent many of his Children to kill that child; with other gods' blessings, that guy was able to escape from everyone and even killed some of his brothers and sisters.
"What is your name, son?" one of the Gods asked the man
"My name is Joseph," Joseph said.
It was when history changed. With other gods' blessing, he started to become the next Doro… but he was not as big as Doro; Joseph slept with anyone, everyone. He impregnated every woman he saw. Expectantly married women… he didn't stop there. He went to other Islands…
That is how people got powers and everything."
Babette and Tyrone said everything they knew to them.
Sile looked at them.
'Lies… there are many times in these stories. Too many of them, but there is truth too, just like how the smoke comes with fire. Lies born in truth,' Sile thought and nodded.
"So they are all alive? Or dead?" Sile asked them, even though he knew it was a very stupid question; he was in a world he needed to accept many things. It was not impossible for immortals to exist.
"They are all alive. Haha, but you can't see them. There is a saying that only people who become strong as him can meet them. I don't know if it is true or not. Haha," Tyrone said with a laugh; he half believed it.
But Sile was able to understand many things.
'It is not easy… to live in this world…' Sile thought and sighed.
