betrothal

all began with a lost boy the time even technology was not advance as we speak the time where internet was a myth on peoples minds cars were dreams and curiosity took the best of most people and one of those curiosity made this mess in the current world ,there was a time were people chose who to love how they should be and what there type but due to some kid curiosity everything changed,in the years 1600 a school of adventure thought it was a good idea to send untrained teenagers to explore a forest as a punishment of missing school and among the a boy named Justine who nature with vast question of what happened why it happen and when saw some thing that caught his eye as a mysterious shape was stalking them I think at that time the word was not invented but any ways you get the idea , back to Justine he thought it was a good idea to follow the unknown and the unknown go him as he chased the shape he lost his way and just like that the phrase curiosity killed a cat applied on his mind as he looked on both his sides nothing but trees was around him all he heard was insect and birds from a far and nothing new he first thought he could find his way out but that was another waste of time and the limited resourced he had he was running out of water ,food,and breaths because the deeper he entered the forest the less he could breath and it was getting dark and darker till he saw nothing but darkness, at this point of time is the time where for those who believe in the almighty start to pray ,the time where no hope is left and you have nothing left but for our boy Justine he no believe so the only thing he could do was shout ,and nature punished him by returning an echo nothing nothing less just echos of his voice as he got tired he found a nice tree and decided to take a nap as the morning came he started his journey to find his way back to his party and just the last day he found nothing and the same came the next day and the coming day till he food decreased from three meals to two meals a day to one and the rest you can imagine for you self ,he energy started depleting he felt weak and weak till he could not stand and just like that he went down .game over..... ... that was not the end of our boy justine as he was not a believer but he should thank God or gods because then last thing he saw be for he collapsed was that mysterious shape he was chasing and it picked him up and as he woke up he found himself on a bed and it was not you every day sponge mattress but one made of dry grass but comfy as heck the our guy thought he was in heaven already right before he made everything clear a sweat voice was heard from the back , as he turned to look his head was under ab impression as if he saw something he should ,what was heard coming from his mouth was what an angle ,his eyes saw a six feet looking woman with the beauty an matched from his people and a sorry about the woman part she was the same age as him and i speak literal not fictional ,the girl introduced her self as ax and yes ax nothing more nothing less just ax long story short she was the chiefs daughter...oh ! i forgot to mention as soon as he as Justine met ax he was introduced to falka a village filled with love and lovely women it was blessed with good food and i mean it good food how do i know you ask this strange village grew into one heck of a city as i speak and the head of it was named rieder as in ax father (we are back in the past) despite the good food and every thing about falka their is a tradition done by everyone in the village which is the betrothal ritual ,let me get somethings straight it not the paying money to marry a girl or a man but it actually a ritual including sacrifices vows and boom a strange mark appears on you and no matter you like it or not you heart will fall in love with one you share the betrothal mark with ,our boy justine being in the village for about a week ,he heard strange voices to be specific music was heard one morning out of curiosity he went out and check what was going on children were dancing,men drinking and women preparing meals and singing as he was still looking around he came across ax who just near his cabin she had some medicine with hear for justine she said with anger but a cool face i think i told you not to get out and held his hand making her way into the cabin and she continued people in my village don't like out siders and today is a special day so i wont like the mood to be destroyed because of you presence justine asked what was so special about the day then she started to explain the betrothal ritual as i did and she left after making the medicine for justine , as night came curiosity got the best of our boy so he did what he does best follow he snack out of the cabin and followed the crowd to the chapel where the ritual was going to be done am also thinking how did he go unnoticed but any ways that how the story is told as he hid among the crowed the ritual was prepared as follows a circle was drown in white followed by for minor circle in the main at different directions one at the north, south, east and west the one in the north and south stayed the people or families being betrothed and a mean a single person and the remaining circles are where sacrifice are made the sacrifice can be blood from a slaughtered animal among st the two families or blood of the one been betrothed and yes you cut your hand and just like that you are bonded to a person forever the ritual stars with sacrifice then the two move at the two circle and stand then move towards one another and held hand the a strange wind out of nowhere blows flowed by red ribbon that tied it self on the held hands and just like that the mark as a tattoo appears on your hand then the ritual is complete ,who thought a ritual like that will affect a the current world like this and falka defined as the city of love it love to be literal all in all justine got surprised and as he was trying to get his mind straight he noticed the place raider the chief was sitting the ceiling was detached that the wood was about to fall on him as more the people danced and stamped their feet the more it was about to fall and just like that only a sound was heard gang..... then the chair fell people thought it was the end of the chiefs story but our boy got his name from his act ,what happen you, ask i think you all know the heroic act that gives you respect jumping and pushing someone away from danger and like that it was done and boom everyone started to like justine known as the outsider who saved the chief everyone in the village included him in ............... all in all our boy died to be specific killed with one unexpected for more see you .. and bye bye for the now
