Irfran's Stories – Honorable Warrior
Today was pleasant, I was at a park; a local one. I didn't have that much to do, so I call my friends to come along at my Flat so we can hang out. Of course, my best friend Maxwell Zakarion would be coming along, and I have no clue if he would tease me or my other friends.
To tell you the truth, things were as useful when it comes to Hierarchical Cities in our country. Trust me, our country was successful enough to stop some Black Beast from the 1st war of magic. It was tragic, it took half of the worlds population because of that.
As for me, it was not my concern. Besides, I would feel sorry and pity to those who died during that horrible war. I was glad that I was not involved in it. It would be traumatic and horrifying if I was involved.
As for me, well, what can you say about me? I am from middle east; from the solid country of Iran. I was an good boy in this city. Making friends like usual. I made my first best friend by name of, "Maxwell Zakarion". He was from Iraq, a country that is west from our country, Iran.
Maxwell's family moved here to have a better life than what they had back in Iraq, and it turns out they did. I met with Maxwell in our small neighborhood and I had a chat with him. Over our conversation, I was starting to show affection and we both became best friends. Trust me, he had good sense of humor that would make me giggle.
Let's talk about my family, I have an older brother named Darion Nilgiria, and he was friendly towards me; but also my friends, as well. Over the past a few weeks, I had got new friends, and I was starting to get proud of it.
As for my Mom and Dad, they were nice parents. My Mom would be sweet and religious and treat both of us with respect. My Dad was strong-willed, but he was nice and religious, as well. I would imagine seeing my dad having loving relationship with mom in a matter of fact, of course.
Let's go back to Maxwell, shall we? He has been nice to me, but over the days; Maxwell got slightly jealous of my other friends. He thinks that my relationship with him has not been improving over the weeks and starts to grow unpleasant when it came to me. I had asked him to stop and he just wanted my friends out of this just so he can get me, instead of them.
Luckily, this was not a major problem, and Maxwell finally became polite towards my friends. It was usual sign of relief and we finally got along with each other. That's if anything bad is happening to us, of course.
"I wonder what my friends are doing?" I asked to myself. I got off the park bench and headed straight toward our Flat.
As I was walking back to our Flat, whistling a tune, I have felt something rather shaky; an earthquake, perhaps? Oh well, I walked until I saw something horrifying in front of my very own eyes.
The entire Flat was on fire, a rather huge one if I may ask. Suddenly, as I got closer to the fire, the sky turned light red, and I can hear gunfire at a distance. It was nerve wrecking and I ran straight towards the Flat's main door. I pressed the doorbell; however, there was no answer. I looked at window on the door and I can see that no one was at the stairway. I sawed footprints on the stairs; it made me certain that both my brother and father escape alive, but what about my friends? Did they make it?
I began to run like a horse straight at Maxwell's Flat. As I was running, the gunfire and explosions were starting to get louder. I noticed Convoys, Soldier's, and other vehicle making their way toward the war-torn area of the city. The sky continued turn dark red, instead of light red.
I knew, that this was an unexpected invasion that just suddenly occurred at my country; for no apparent reason, of course. As I made my way to the front Maxwell's Flat, the Flat was on fire; but the fire was not huge like in our Flat. I noticed the front door of his Flat was unlocked and ran myself inside like a daring hero.
As I got inside, making my to the first floor of the apartment which is upstairs on the stairway, and unlocking the large glass door with a light golden knob on it. I managed to get myself into the living room; fire and smoke where everywhere.
In front of me would be a large hunk of wood that was on fire and I sawed six figures behind the burning wood. Five of the figures were not moving, while two of the figures were in fact making some movement. I can see them looking at me and recognize that individual who was behind that tall individual. That hair... It was my best friend Maxwell and I called out to him.
"MAXWELL!" I yelled, hoping for some response, "Are you alright!?"
"Oh I am definitely alright, Irfran!" Maxwell spoke in exaggeration, "We are just having some fun, that's all!"
"What are you talking about!? What's going on?" Irfran panicked. He looked straight at the motionless figures, "Are these my friends!? If they are, get them out of this apartment to safety!"
"It's... It's all your fault, best friend. I wish you didn't do this."
I got confused by this. I quickly spoke up.
"What are you- AAAUUUGGGHHH!" I screamed as some fire came to contact on my right leg. It was almost a crisp, but I was lucky it wasn't major; however, the pain was very severe that it made me scream. I can almost here laughing from both Maxwell and the tall figure in front of me. The tall figure spoke up in a crazy accent.
"Oh man, how much does that fire hurt, Franny! Does it burn? Does it? Of course, it does! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
A silhouette of man slowly comes to Irfran's view. What Irfran can see would be a dark suit and small tie to it. I can see that man looking at my burn mark.
"Whoa, that one large burn mark you got there, Franny! Are you gonna die? Bite the big one? Hey, think you gonna die?"
"Maxwell..." I spoke up nervously, "G-Get my friends out of here..."
"I'm sorry, best friend." Maxwell spoke in a cold tone, "Your so-called "friends" are already resting in peace. That would include my family as well."
Irfran was left speechless and emotionless. He couldn't believe what Maxwell has said to him. The tall figure laughs and claps.
"I wish we had more time to play with you, but I am afraid we are out of time." The man said in a crazy manner, "Damn, what a shame! Well, I don't suppose there's harm done around here in this goddamn hellhole!"
"W-What..." Irfran nervously told. Coughing from the smoke. The man spoke up again.
"Oh well, it looks like we got to be in our way out of this goddamn, shithole! See you soon, you little runt!"
As one of flames were calming down, I sawed Maxwell's devilish grin at me. He spoke up.
"Good-bye, best friend."
The two disappeared behind the apartment's backyard and I couldn't take of this smoke anymore. I ran out of the apartment and finally got breath of fresh air. I looked behind Maxwell's Flat and it burned down straight towards the ground. Outside, I started hear even more gunfire a few feet away from this small neighborhood. I can say, this middle eastern Hierarchical City was starting to get war torn by another powerful faction.
I started breath heavily and tears started to stream down my cheeks in complete fear. I was lucky that I wasn't dead, but my friends...
"IRFRAN! Irfran is that you!?" A person's voice from who was related to me was heard from a distance. I turned around and discover that it is my older brother Darion. His face was filled panic, but with some signs of relief.
"Where have you been!? I've been looking for you, everywhere! Father is getting concerned about you!" Darion said with a dirty look on his face. "Where are our friends!?"
I spoke up, exhaustively.
"They didn't make it, Darion." I explained, "As for Maxwell, I don't even know where he is."
"I see..." Darion spoke calmly, "Come on, Irfran. We must see our father."
"Wait!" I called. Darion turned his head around at me, "What about mother!? We cannot leave her, like this!"
"I-I don't know about that, Irfran." Darion said, "But right now, we muse lea-"
I interrupted his sentence with loud words of panic.
"We are not leaving her, Darion!" Irfran yelled, "We must find her and-"
"SHE'S DEAD IRFRAN!" Darion screamed, "THEY SHOT HER!"
I was left speechless. What Darion said was true, I couldn't believe it. He then grabs my arm and takes me to our Flat. Over there, is where father is waiting for us.
Navid, our father, was packing everything up. He was wearing his usual desert clothing. Navid turns his head around and sees his two sons. Much to his relief.
"There you are, you two!" Navid spoke. Hugging both of his boys and then letting go of the hug, "Come on, I have a lot of people I must guide."
As I looked at the city which is being sacked by another faction power, I frightened of seeing people who died during combat and making me show empathy to those who were killed in the process.
I looked at a random street and my eyes start to see a lot of dead bodies as we starting climbing the mountain to the desert. I can see my mother... On the street... Not moving any muscle, after being shot by the other faction.
It was traumatizing.
As we traveled over the mountain and into the desert, I can see a hundred-thousand middle eastern's being guided by my father's knowledge of the middle east and the east, itself. His knowledge was grand and leader of our people.
"My people!" Navid yelled, "We shall be heading east to a city that may find us middle eastern's safe from the Library!"
The middle easterner's cheered. The Library, they were the one's responsible for invading our city and killing our mother. My father spoke up again.
"We are heading to a city by the name of, Kagutsuchi!" My father yelled at our people, "There we will find a giant cave where we will find ourselves to be safe from the Library!"
Our people cheered and we marched east out of the border of our country. We knew that leaving our country without the Library's consent would get all of us executed. But we needed to find somewhere safe.
Somewhere, where we can all survive on our own.
Kagutsuchi...
