Chapter 13 - Gurudza's Journey

Gurudza is standing by the Domboguru river looking up in the sky, contemplating on everything that has happened and he has learned about himself. Being a descendant of a god and having godly power in him. 

"Is being a demigod that bad?" Wezhira's voice comes from behind.

"No, but it just makes everything else a lie!"

"I understand!" he walks closer to him changing his body form to any older man, "Your father used to come here when things got tough too, and he would scream shout and pour out his heart!"

"Really?"

"Yes, once a young girl from a certain village was killed in front of him and he was unable to save her and he lost his will and he came here and bathed in sadness for days, crying he neither drank nor ate anything."

"When my mother was alive, she told me a similar story, looking at father, I did not think that was truth!"

Wezhira puts his hand on Gurudza's head, "True strength for all of you my descendants come from the heart and without heart you will never succeed in attaining your full power!"

Gurudza noticing something is different with Wezhira checks him out only to see a full-grown man, wearing a golden robe similar to that of the younger one holding a staff. 

"You changed your appearance!?" 

"I did tell you that I can look however I want to look!" he moves in front of him, "I do not mean no disrespect when I speak about your father! I only tell the truth as it is, but right now is not the time to be irrational for if you fall, this world falls."

"I understand!"

"Do you really?" Wezhira asks to make certain he does. 

"I do not know anything anymore at this point but I will not let that murderous witch get what she wants destroying this world!" 

"You must make certain to prevent her from activating the blood moon!"

"The blood moon? What is that?"

Wezhira waves his hand, and the plain changes. Bringing him to a destroyed world that looks insalubrious. No trees, no water, not life inhabited by bones, dry water bodies and burned-out trees with a scarlet moon.

"What is this place?" he asks confused and terrified by what he is seeing.

"This is the earth, if you fail to stop the demon from unleashing other demons from the demon realm upon the realm of the living."

"This is insane!" Gurudza reaches down, grabs the soil and it turns to blood and it flows back to the ground and turns back to soil.

"How can she do this? I thought you said she was human at some point!" 

"She was, but she no longer human!" he waves his hand and returns back to the normal world, "You must prevent her from activating the blood moon by preventing her from finishing her rituals because if she does, this is what awaits you at the end of her rituals."

The horrific site he has seen is engraved in his mind and his mind is circling around what can be if he fails to defeat her. This is no longer about him, but about the world as a whole. 

"What about the rest of the world?" Gurudza asks concerned about everything.

"The rest of the world has protectors of their own and you and her are the core protectors, you need to prevent this at any cost!" 

"I do not know if I can put my selfishness aside but I do know I will not let anything happen to this world!"

"Good!" Wezhira smiles, "I need you to journey to the Motomupi land!" he puts his hand behind his back.

"I am unfamiliar with the place!"

"I will give you a map to the Motomupi land!" 

"Okay then, but what will I have to do when I get there?"

"You yourself will decide when you get there and all I can say to you is it is not going to be a peaceful vacation."

"I know, I figured, it is part of my training."

"That would be correct and I have sent Mukura on a different path and she is already on her way there." 

"I see, are you sure it is a wise decision? She has been through so much growing up and this might add to her misery and I myself do not like seeing her suffering!"

"I am well aware about everything but if you have not noticed, lately she has been driven by the lack of chains on her and is eager to save her sister from the demon! She is strong willed and also has a strong mind she will not break that easily, I assure you, she will not waver!"

"Is she a demigod too?"

"No, she is not a demigod but she is blessed by a god." 

"And that god, is you? I presume"

"You presume, wrongly, she was blessed by the one I told you about, Devoid!"

"An evil god! So, she is one of the evil ones?"

"No, she is not evil, she is a good person with a good heart, no ill intentions whatsoever and yes, at the beginning it was so they can help him defeat me but the blessings changed the family is blessed with good intentions and she is the first most powerful god blessed in centuries after Gwanhoya!"

"Enough with the questions, Gurudza, you need to get going! Everything will get answered as time goes on!"

"Yes, you are right!" I will be leaving now; the journey is going to be long and I cannot afford to delay any longer!"

"Good, I have things I need to attend to, I will be leaving first. I will wait to hear about your expedition after it is done, farewell young prince!"

Wezhira disappears leaving Gurudza on the river bank looking into the clouds, the journey will be long, but he is wondering more on if Mukura is faring well with hers. 

"Hmmm, maybe I should be at ease, I mean she is strong that is no lie, I am sure she will be able to handle whatever comes her way." he says to himself with a smile on his face.

"Well let me begin my journey, I will need to eat and carry some for the road too." 

His body slowly becomes covered in electricity and he disappears slowly. Dark times do not come without light. Even if it is just a little.
