Happy Birthday Sango

It was early in the morning and Sango the son of Melo and his wife and queen Shara came barging in the chambers. "Mother father wake up! You do remember what today is don't you?" "How does he keep getting pass the guards?"

"Mother father are you awake? Did you hear me?" "Yes son. Your father and i remember what today is. But your celebration isn't until tonight." "I know but we have to have everything prepared i can't wait have all my friends celebrating my 12th birthday with me!" "I know your excited but you still have to complete your morning training son." "My love must you make him train on his birthday (laughing) at least take it easy on him." "Absolutely not. Sango must be a great warrior before he can be king. You must become a greater warrior than me and a even greater king. And don't forget that you have been challenged by Neo of the Zulu tribe. If you are defeated than Neo will take your place as king in 4 years. You can not afford to skip training if you want to be king. Now go have your breakfast son so that we can begin." "Yes sir"

Sango did as he was told and then him and his father begin their training. Because he was 12 now his training became more intense but he wasn't shocked. He was able to withstand all the training king Melo threw at him. "Very good son. Your growing stronger every day. You to be at your strongest in your fight in a few days." "Im not worried about that im sure im going to win. Im focused on unlocking my power. I know I have power i can feel it father i just have to bring it out. You have have incredible strength and the ability to grow wings. Mother once had the power to heal people but i have nothing yet. But i will unlock the power of the black flame like my grandfather. Can you pleasetellmethe wholestoryof my grandfather now? All you ever tell me is that he was a powerfulwarrior who went around saving people. Im old enoughto hear the real story. " Ok Sango but train and listen at the same time."

"When was 4 years my mother father and I lived in a hut in a small village. It was a peaceful village until it was raided by vicious people who preyed on the weak. 4 men broke into our house. They beat my father just for fun then killed my mother as my my father and i watched. This caused my father to black out then all of a sudden his entire body engulfed into fire but the fire was black. He let out a loud roar and everything went up in flames including the people who killed my mother. But for some reason i nor my mother's body were harmed. He then burned every goon that was raiding the village. He found out the he had complete control of his flame power. He could control who the flames harm and how hot the flames got. He could even form flame armor around his body and even grow flame wings. After years of protecting people a group of people were scared that 1 day my father would turn evil so they tricked him into an ambush. My father could have burned them all but he had enough and was ready to join my mother again so he didn't fight back. He was killed and i was left alone. I small 7 year old boy. So i joined Lucion's army just for survival but after a while i lost my way. Meeting your mother helped me realize i was doing and who i was becoming. Now thinks to her that scared lonely boy is now a king!"

Sango tried to hide his face for that story was very emotional because a king must always have his emotions in check. King Melo saw the tears in Sango's face but he said nothing. Suddenly the general to king Melo's army came barging in. "Sorry to interrupt sir but this is kind of an urgent matter." "Come general let us walk and talk."

"What's going on general?" "Three of the surrounding villages have been raided and wiped out. The crazy part that they didn't take anything. We were tild that this group is being lead my a young girl. No more than sixteen or seventeen years old." "What i child is doing all of this. How could someone so young lead such a violent act."

"They left a few kids alive only to deliver a message. The message was for you sir. The message is that she is coming for the kingdom you took from her."

"This could be a problem. There were some powerful people in those villages. Take 4 of your best men and give them each a team of twelve men. Send a group in each direction try to find them and stop them. But try to keep the girl alive." "Alive sir?" "Yes alive. I don't want to have a young girl killed in my name." "I understand sir I'll get on it right away."

Later that night the royal family celebrated Sango's birthday with the entire village. There were food gifts and games for everyone to enjoy but queen Shara could tell something was off with king Melo. He usually has a smile that can light up a room but tonight he was forcing it but chose to wait to later that night to ask what was going on

"My dear is there something your not telling me? You know i can tell when something is off." "I didn't want to bother you with this but 3 small villages have been raided. The crazy thing is they didn't take anything. Word is a child is behind this and did this to send me a message. Apparently the kingdom is rightful hers and she's coming to calm it!
