Come here.. let me tell you a story.
Huh...oh...ok Zuki said as he climbed up to his mother's laps .
There now little one wipe your tears and listen to mummy... okay? serah said while wipping of zuki's tears as they sat on a rocking chair.
"Sniff"...ok
Long Long ago the world was in Chaos and the races of this world waged war against one another. they fought and killed one another endlessly until a single sage. A being,an entity with power that rivaled the universe and surpassed the heavens took down all the 7 great guardians.
His actions inflicted fear in the hearts of the races.
He said a single word that placed a resentment and anger in the minds of the races. But one race a ,peculiar group of humans thanked him for bringing an end to the war. The great sage told them not to thank him, but rather bestowed upon them a power and blessing that evolved their mind and bodies pushing it beyond its limits. It didn't make them heavenly beings, but rather turned their weak and fable body in a strong an capable one .
When the other races found out about this,they patiently waited for the great sage to pass away. After of years waiting,these people with a devastating force struck the heads and Hills of the ones blessed by the sage and brought them to dust . Wiping them out from the surface of the earth forever.
The end... serah said while breathing a sigh of relief.
But mama why did the the other races attack the innocent blessed people.
Zuki... that is indeed a great question but I myself do not know... serah said as she closed her eyes.
The people where taught by the great sage to only raise their swords against evil and protect the weak... No knows what the great Sage's intentions where or why the people stuck to such a doctrine.serah said as she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.
Maybe one day we will come to get an answer to that ques-
BANG!BANG!BANG!.A loud noise ecoed as Someone slammed serah's shaft's door with their left leg.
Huh..mum who is- . Serah grabbed Zuki .
Zuki come with me!!! She carried him while tightly hogging him.
You have to stay hidd-
OOOOOOOH. look what we have here ,a mother trying to protect her adorable baby boy.
Ke..ke..
Kehahaha ahahaha
Sorry to ruine the mood... but can you please die for us?—(A grin on a face under a hood)
