The Blind
The sound of water surging with rhythmic grace enveloped the senses, echoing through the tranquil embrace of the riverside, painting a portrait of serenity with each undulating wavelet and whispered ripple As the sun dipped below the horizon , casting a golden hue upon the world. In the tranquil embrace of dawn's gentle embrace, a solitary figure stood poised at the water's edge, his youthful frame cloaked in the soft light of morning.
His eyes, veiled by a black blindfold, concealed the depths of his gaze, yet his spirit remained unyielding, tethered to the earth by an unspoken connection to the world around him. He looked pure and innocent holding a wooden fishing hook tilting his head downwards Though his vision was obscured, his other senses danced with heightened awareness, embracing the whispers of the wind and the gentle caress of the morning dew upon his skin. In this moment of quiet reverence, he became one with the rhythm of nature, a silent observer in the timeless ballet of existence.
As the shimmering form of a fish emerged from the tranquil depths, a rush of excitement coursed through the boy's veins, his heart soaring with the thrill of the chase. even tough he couldn't see the boy could clearly feel his surroundings He carefully reeled it in, feeling a rush of excitement as the shimmering creature emerged from the water. "hahaha I did it grandpa would be so happy that i caught such big fish"
"phew its been 5 years i think ever since that incident just what happened back then at the cliff?" " why has my body become small and how come i am blind even though I could see when i woke up in this world all my memories are abit blurry "
Yes the one speaking is non other than Lin Xuan who had fallen of the cliff as he ran away from his pursuers "well anyway there is no use thinking about it now at least i have a grandpa now i should go back to see him " . The boy walked along a path lined with vibrant plants, their leaves brushing against him gently as he made his way. Ahead, amidst the greenery, stood a cozy wooden house. It seemed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, offering a warm and welcoming retreat from the outside world.
"grandpa hei I have caught a big fish for us today "
A man opened the wood door and came out he looked all filled with air of wisdom and humbleness
"oh little xuan you have come back early today" said the man
"morning grandpa here let me cook this fish for u "
" ah sure sure little xuan i will be expecting guests soon maybe in a month or so"
"ah visitors ??" weird ever since grandpa brough me here no one has ever come up to this house in the mountains said Xuan in his head
"bark bark bark"
"oh deli is back" said grandpa hei
A dog with a bone in his mouth could be seen running in the distance
As Xuan went to prepper the food his grandpa looked at his back and sighed
"that boy how pitiful he is blinded at birth well even though he is blind he manges to live noemally until now and survive " back then it was just a random a coincidence that i was him there in wild."
but why why do i feel that he is different from all other kids his age and much more smarter "
inside the house the old mans eyes laid on a neglected chessboard shrouded in a fine layer of dust, its once gleaming surface now dulled by time and neglected
"well i guess that child is not normal after all he can play chess even though he is blind "
"I wonder what kind of future is waiting for him ayyyz I m old now i don't think i will live longer who will take care of him when i die sigh"
In the distant horizon, against the canvas of the endless sky, an eagle soared with majestic grace, its outstretched wings a testament to the freedom of flight. Upon closer inspection, one could discern tiny figures perched upon its back, their silhouettes standing on the back of the eagle
"My lady we will arrive toward our destination soon"
Upon the back of the soaring eagle, amidst her retinue of loyal guards, sat a girl of such mesmerizing beauty that she seemed to radiate an ethereal glow. Her features were delicate yet striking, framed by cascades of ebony hair that tumbled in loose waves around her shoulders.
Her eyes, like pools of liquid sapphire, held a depth of wisdom far beyond her years, and her smile, radiant as the morning sun, could light up even the darkest corners of the world. Adorned in garments of flowing silk and adorned with jewels that sparkled like stars against the backdrop of the sky, she exuded an aura of regal grace and timeless elegance. All that beauty was hidden by a purple vile covering her face while only reveling her eyes making her look more beautiful and untouchable As the wind tousled her hair and the eagle soared ever higher into the boundless expanse of the sky, the girl looked towards the guard an nodded.
"it seems we will arrive soon sister " said a girl
Seated beside the captivating girl was another beauty, her presence a harmonious complement to the ethereal aura that enveloped the soaring eagle. Her features, though different from her companion's, were equally striking in their own right.
With eyes the color of warm honey, flecked with hints of amber, she possessed a gaze that could pierce through the veil of any soul, revealing depths of empathy and understanding beyond measure. Her smile, soft and gentle, held a quiet wisdom born of experience, and her gracefulness in movement seemed to flow like a melody through the air.
"i wonder why father sent us here " said the girl to her sister
The eagle soared ever higher into the boundless sky, as she gazed toward the horizon
