The Past (Part 1)

It was the the year 2030, a new dawn was upon with the blood rushing excitement of the people's lust for spring as winter was near its horrific end. The people felt its frostbite as my village struggled to maintain warmth and satisfaction in winter. The villagers wished for the seasons prior as the blooming trees, burning sun with the sparkling waterfall created a scenery where we could call it home.

Although I may seem different now but the way my village was , it couldn't be compared to other villages. The difference was that my hometown village were all very kind hearted people and they always had a high spirit even when we had serious problems regarding food or money issues. When we had these issues , some brave men nominated themselves to go hunting in the dark forest for food and some of them would come back with horrific scars on their bodies. Even though they had these scars and bloody marks on their bodies , they always came back to the village smiling as they felt proud of themselves. I've once questioned them about them going to the dark forest and returning with bloody scars . When I questioned them about the dark forest , one man told me in a worrying voice that the dark forest is host to many horrific and dangerous monsters and creatures and they warned me never go wondering in that forest. I look at that man and he had the face of someone who saw a beast.

About my family , I wasn't blessed with an ordinary family like others but I was loved by the villagers and the Sister in the church who took care of Luiz and myself. The Sister named me August and Luiz was another boy who was living in the church with me. He was like an older brother to me and he was the person who alwaysencouraged me to do things. The Sister and Luiz were my only family I truly had. My birth parents abandoned me when I was born and the Sister found me in front of the door steps of the church. I was really grateful that her kind heart accepted me into this wonderful church

Luiz and I were always together although we may have fought with each other , Luiz would always apologize first and then we would always be happy together. We always were making trouble but Luiz always took responsibility for our actions. He was the brother I truly loved.

Life in the village was always peaceful , unless Luiz and I doing something to trouble people. Luiz had a dream and that dream was to become a strong man so that he can protect what was precious to him . He also had another dream of traveling out of our village and exploring different places around the world. I firstly was amazed by his dreams and then I thought to myself. I asked myself , "What were my dreams?" I personally couldn't think of an answer that time.
