I traveled many days and nights, some times it felt as if the darkness would consume me. Just when all else was against me an inner fire would build up and help me through. i can't tell you the time that i wondered because time did not elapse in this strange world i had found my self in. One day as i walked i felt some thing i had not felt in ages and that was warmth! I pushed on, I hade to find the sorce of this magic. Its true that the world was covered in darkness but i remembered a substance called fire. This fire would drive hordes of demons away and keep the tride warm and safe, it was a blessing from vallhala my elders used to say. As i got closer to the warmth all the sadness vanished and i felt renewed. Finally i broke through and the warmth was as close as it could be. So i sat down and took in this Alien substence. I must have fallen asleep for i cant remember but i was awoken by screaming. I got up and drew Shirasaya, i knew this sound it was the sound of war and sadness. I readied my self and began to become one with the gem and without seeing what was the couse of the disturbence i invisioned it in my mind. There were two lichins and... People many people. People that were running and people trying to fight the demons. Quikly i sprinted into the fray and with lighting reflexes parried around the running people and into the front line of fighting. One was on my left side and the other was on my right i stood ready for the correct time. The lichins hissed with anger and regret. they come. i knelted down and slipped my sword through its sorf skin, my sword cutting through bone and tissue. The other missed its mark and leaped at me! AS it ran at me I stuck Shirasaya into its neck and used it to lift of and jumped around its head severing it from the rest of the body. It was done the evil was taken care of. After that i sheathed my sworded and awaited for any others that would still be there. "holy cow, buddy were did you learn that!" i turned to the sound of the voice.It seems i stumbled apone a convoy of a traveling circus. They told me that in a world of sadness and darkness they wanted to make people smile. I told them my story but they said i must have been making it up becouse no place ever excisted and were i came from is in the heart of the darkness and no body can live there. I was adopted into the family and Garu the man i meet the night i slayed the demons become like father to me. also there were children my age there and we played and fantisced like children do. It was at this time i learned the legends of old. How there was once lots of fire and that a great ball once stood in the sky and gave warmth to every one. This was a dream but some how i knew there had to be truth to it. I was 9 at the time and its then that i must have made my promise to find the great ball and bring it back. " Garu,Garu whats going on!" "o, now its nothing bad but we have a visiter at the camp!?" Every one was running around crazy like when i showed up but this time there was no demons. Garu hide me and the other children in one of the secret hiding spots for the magicians. This was one time i did not listen to Garu and the last time i would not listen to him. I new the camp and snuck Around to were Garu was. I heard voices i made never heard before. " Circus man this cant be all the food you have were is the rest, and also i thought i asked for some women!" " hehe the boss doesnt like to lose his temper" and snivling voice came from the crowd of bandits. Garu said in a stern voice " thats all now leave." " now now circus goof you now what i think...." said the other nastier voice. I heard a sword and a thud. At that mininut i knew... i rushed to were Garu was and landed in a pool of blood and flesh. " find all you can then burn the rest, ill take care if this shrimp" the snivling voice said. The bandits took me and made me a slave to work for them. They took me far away and to a forgein place. It was a curse and a blessing it was here in these years that i would hone my skills and make a friend that would one day bring everlasting warmth to the world. My goal now was to make people smile like Garu did and the only way was to bring back the ball off fire in the sky!
( sry i wrote this really fast . Keep in mind the main character is around 13 years old as he escapes the banditas. Sry dude i didnt know i was god modding let me know if you have a problem with it and ill git rid of it.)
