I don't own DX/ROTK and its characters
A/N- this is my second DW fic, and again I am going with a minor character as my lead, I really have a admiration for this character, and I hope this turns out well, I admit I will not be going right from the book, and I will make up some of the characters, and events.
The Journey of a Hero
The world which he lived in was one of constant chaos; the rich used the poor to get what they wanted. The Emperor was nothing but a puppet to men who would use his power to only improve the amount of money they had in there coppers. Anyone who would stand up against this fact was cut down, rather quickly. It was not a world, in which you would want to live in. And has he walked towards another city he knew this fact quite well. He had decided to leave his home only a few months earlier, only being 16, he wanted to see the world for all of it problems, and want to find a great man who would help bring about change in this world. Though he had to admit to himself, that the odds of finding someone like that were low, but he knew he had to try.
As he walked into to the village noticed that the market area of the town were nearly empty, which was odd for any town, or at least it seemed so, because all of the other towns he had travel though always had busy markets. He walked towards the one man who was still around, more then likely because he was a sleep on a table.
He walked up to the man, and with a loud voice said, "Good day, sir, can you tell me where everyone is."
The man jumped at hearing the teenager, he looked up at the teen, "Well um wait did you say everyone was gone, lad."
"Um, yes I did, do you know where they went."
"Um yeah, I do, darn I overslept, they are all at the town squire where the mystic Zhang Bao is speaking to the people," he said, 'Hey follow me, I will show you the way."
The teen shrugged his shoulder, and decided to follow the older man, figuring that he did have anything else to do, and he wondered just who this Zhang Bao fellow was. He could tell without a doubt when they were getting to the town's main square, because as they got closer he saw a lot more people. Then the Square itself was packed with people standing around a small wooden stage where a tall man with long dark hair, and brown eyes wearing yellow robes was standing. He moved into to be able to hear the man that was speaking better.
"My fellow men, it is our duty to take our own destiny into our hands, to rise up, and create a new world, one where the rich do not crush us with their burdens, but one where everyone has the power, one lead by my brother. You must admit that the gods do favor us, you all must have seen me cure that ill earlier. It is a sign of favor by the gods on us, telling us that this revolution is just and acceptable. Now having all of that, great prizes like the one that we are after my friends do not come cheaply, even with the gods' blessings, we must make sacrifices for are goals, we must be will to fight and maybe die so that in the future our children will be able to life in a world free of oppression, and tyrants. Now know this the higher the sacrifice made the greater the reward for the sacrifice, sacrifices that cost us little, is normally worth little, now if you want to join this quest there are men at tables to the left of the stage that will sign you up."
The teen watched as everyone made an mad rush towards the tables which were to the mans left. As he watch the man who he had talked to earlier walked by, and turned to him.
"Boy, this is our chance, you should take it as well, those no good elite must pay for what they have done to us," the man said as he walked by.
The teen just stood there not really knowing what to do, the ideas that Bao said sound great, like the ones that he had been hoping for his entire life, but something just seemed wrong, nothing ever could be that perfect, and he wondered if the man was true to his word or just making up stuff to get people railed up to join his pointless campaign that if work would only lead to a different person being in power. The two idea were working themselves out in his mind when he felt a hand on his back, he turned to see Bao standing with a curious look on his face.
"Young man, I am sure you are unsure of are reason, I can tell that from your face, but they are true. I want to offer you a chance to join us personally. I have been trained to tell the future of people from looking at them, and well from what I see from you I can see a bright future, but also a violent future, please I ask you to join my and my brother's ranks," Bao said.
The teen had heard what he was looking for what wonder what the what he meant by violent future, he smiled at Bao, and said, "OK, I guess it seems to be in my future, I can't avoid it then."
"Good choice, I hope that with your help we can create the world, may I have you name," Bao said.
"Yeah sure, my name is Liao Hua," he said with a smirk.
"Liao Hua, now I am sure that is a name I will have to remember," Bao said.
