Chapter 1, The Past

“Please, don’t kill my son, he’s just a mere infant, kill me if you want to, but don’t kill him, please I beg you.”

“I’m afraid it’s too late for that brother, if only you would have listened to me none of this would have been happening.”

Cuts to Misa dying while holding korudo as she slips a note in korudos blanket

“I’m sorry I’m dying, but don’t worry you’ll be safe, I’ll be watching over you from heaven, my little angel”

Misa drowns In the ocean while safely making sure korudo arrives on the Guardian island

A baby crying on the shore of the island

A group of legionary soldiers on there morning patrol

Legionary 1: “hey, do you guys also hear a baby crying?”

Legionary 3: “yeah, now that you mention it, I also hear it”

Legionary 2: “well let’s go check were the noise is coming from”

As the group of the legionary soldiers arrive, they find baby korudo crying

Legionary 4: “Oh no, this baby has a burning high fever, quick get zhaghi”

Legionary 2 and legionary 3 quickly rushed and knocked on zhaghis door

(Knocking on the door)

Legionary 3: “Zhaghi quick open the door”

Zhaghi opens the door while yawning

Zhaghi: (yawning sound). “It’s 6 o’clock in the morning, what do you guys want from

me

Legionary 2: “there’s a baby that needs medical attention quickly, he has an extremely high fever and he’s shivering”

Zhaghi quickly grabs his medical kit

Zhaghi: “let’s go

Zhaghi and the two legionary soldiers immediately ran back to the shore of

the sea where korudo was crying.

Zhaghi and the soldiers arrive where korudo is

Zhaghi: “ get a warm thick blanket fast”

Legionary 2: “ alright”

Legionary 2 gets the blanket and puts it on korudo

Zhaghi holds korudo in his arms starts healing him then korudo starts smiling

Legionary 1: “ that’s strange, a moment ago he was crying like crazy now he’s in your hands and all of a sudden he’s smiling”

Zhaghi: “probably because I healed him, he’s very lucky though if you guys didn’t find him any sooner, he would have died of hypothermia”

Legionary 1: “kid got lucky”

Legionary 4: “Zhaghi I also found this note in his blanket, I haven’t read it yet, I think you should since you’re closer to the king then I am”

Zhaghi: “I’m just a doctor and I’m not that close to his majesty as you guys might think I am, but I guess I’ll read it”

Legionary 4 hands the letter to Zhaghi

Legionary 1: “alright, we still need to patrol the whole island so we’ll leave now, see you later zhaghi”

Zhaghi: “Wait, after I read this letter, what should I do with the letter and the baby?”

Legionary 1: “just take the baby and the letter to his majesty and report what happened”

Zhaghi: “hmm, alright I’ll do that”

Legionary 1: “ok, take care, bye

Zhaghi: “bye”

The 4 legionary soldiers wave goodbye to Zhaghi and leave

Asahi: “yeah, because you're actually good”

Ashahis brother: “well, that is true, but it took me lots of hard work to be where I am today”

Asahi: “I don’t know, I don’t think I’m fitted to be an archer”

Asahis brother: “don’t worry, you have lots of time to improve”

Asahi: “but I can’t even make a single bullseye”

Asahis brother: “you gotta remember, every archer has to have a calm mind before they could get a bullseye and compose themselves, also, you have to move the bow like it’s a part of your body, so take a deep breath and try again”

( Asahi takes a deep breath)

(Swiish, Asahi makes a perfect bullseye)

Asahis brother: “see, I told you”

Asahi: “ha, I shouldn’t have doubted myself, who knows, maybe I’ll even surpass you”

Chapter 3, Tournament

8 years later

I stood there in pain psychically hurt but emotionally gone, almost as if I had no emotions as my uncle kept on beating me recklessly, before I used to think he cared about me and he did, but now he’s nothing but a drunkard who just tortures me everyday, but today’s the last day, because by tomorrow I’ll be gone, I had a forbidding thought that maybe i should murder my uncle before I plan to escape this house, reason why it’s a forbidding thought is because of two reasons.

Reason 1 being that I just don’t have the heart to kill anyone, but for some reason I still thought of it. I could hurt someone, but never kill anyone, let the person be a kindhearted person or a dreadful one, I can’t kill anyone.

And reason 2 being “that dream” that dream is actually the main reason why I will never murder anyone, “that dream” is the reason why I haven’t gave up on life, and “that dream” is my destination, and I won’t die until I reach that destination.

However if I continue to live here I’ll die sooner or later, that’s why I can’t live here, I have to abandon living not just in this house but in this section of the island, only problem is I don’t know where I would be going, all I know about this island is that it’s humongous, I just have to wait until uncle leaves the house to go to the bar, which is everyday at exactly 6:30pm and he comes back at 8:30 to 8:50pm.

6:30pm

“Alright, I’m going now korudo, before I come back I want you to cook me something” uncle Zhaghi said as he shut the door and left the house, “now I have 2 hours before he comes back, I have to gather as much food and money as I can before I leave” i quickly started grabbing as much food, ingredients, and money as I can and started shoving it into a small teared up bag since that was the only bag there.

As I was about to leave I noticed that I took everything that consisted of food and money, “I’ll split the food and money so uncle could cook something for himself or buy ingredients” I thought to myself as i split the money and food and left it at his table”

I put a half torned mask on myself so no one could recognize me.

As soon as I put the mask on I fled the house with the bag in my hand “it’s been about 20 minutes since uncle left” I started walking in a straight line as I walked by push carts and a bunch of people, they looked at me with a strange gaze as I was walking past them, I thought that it was probably just the mask but then I noticed that I have been walking in a straight line for the past ten minutes.

“Are you lost honey?” a strange voice called me from behind.

I immediately started sweating as my heart started to pound out of my chest as I felt like someone recognized who I was, as I turned around i started to breath more lightly as I noticed that it was just an old lady, “if you're looking for the mainland just walk straight and when you notice the tall tree with the black mark on it, just take a left and you’ll arrive at your destination” she told me, obviously I didn’t know where I was going but this “mainland” place was the only option I had now, “uhm thank you”

I responded, “you’re welcome” she told me as she took off.

I began my journey to go to the mainland, i kept walking until I saw the tall tree with the black mark on it, I was mesmerized, I was mesmerized by how astonishing this tree looked, it wasn’t just tall it was humongous, I took off my mask since no one knows who I am in this area and as I entered the mainland I noticed there were people selling gold to merchants, there was decorations everywhere, everyone had wealthy clothes, there were beautiful birds flying in the sky, everyone looked so happy.

As I was roaming around, I accidentally bumped into this guy who was handing out flyers, as the flyers fell out of his hands, and swiftly lands on the ground, I tried to help the guy pick them up, as I was picking them up my eye looked upon one of the flyers which said something about a tournament called the “guardian tournament” I never heard about it so I asked the guy who was distributing the flyers “what this guardian tournament is about”.

He was shocked by my question “how do you not know about the guardian tournament, it's the event of the year, every islander waits for this event, it's basically like a festival”.

“Sorry I’m new to the island, so I’ve never heard about it” I lied to him.

“Well the guardian tournament is a tournament where men, women, and children all who want to participate in it, they battle it out to become the Guardian Of the island, they have to use there skill, mentality, and strength in order to become the guardian of the island, and then if they pass all 3 of the tests, then they will advance to the final test which is a one on one, and whoever advances on the finals and beats their opponent in a one on one they will become the Guardian of the island, and they will be awarded an absurd amount of wealth, and respect”.

I was jubilant by hearing those two words “wealth and respect” the only two things I ever wanted. At that moment I decided I was going to participate in the guardian tournament, then I asked him “where do I sign up” “at the school facility” the guy responded.

I’m going to join this tournament AND WIN.
