Legend
Picking up the pieces
After his parents were buried in the Cemetery he were left alone with his parents' graves.
He searched for what he had to do.
He became more angry at the person that robbed him of his parents.
The only problems were that he had no skill and he was still a young boy and unable to leave the village because of the dangers of the deep forest.
"He told me to fined someone called Darol," he explained to Tao.
"Ah Darol, a name I have not heard in much time," he said.
"You know him?" he asked.
"Personally I do not, stories say he is a great great man and must be greatly old," he laughed.
"Would he still be alive?" he asked.
"You have many questions and so little time."
"Master Tao, please, is there a chance he may still be alive?" he was desperate to know.
"I do not know young one."
"I need to find him."
"Too far, too dangerous to go alone."
"Okay, someone go with me, you?"
"I am too old, you are too young."
This was getting nowhere fast.
"May I be excused?"
"You may."
There has to be someone to talk to about finding Darol, he can't do it by himself at his age.
he know his brave but he can't.
Returning to his home he begin to pick up what was left of his once happy life.
The home is a total mess.
Picking up the pieces of his shattered life will take time.
He had almost nothing here now.
Its not even his birth village.
He didn't go near my parents bedroom.
It was too painful.
After he got his home into a decent state he had no idea what to do next.
Ray was totally exhausted and yet he know he had a mission to start.
His sword although now smaller to him now since he last wielded it, it was still large and heavy.
Out of nowhere an idea hits his mind.
Sure its too dangerous for him to go alone he thinked, but what he need is help.
Replacing the sword on its perch he left the home in search for his friends.
Hoping he'd find them somewhere around.
He find them at the river fishing.
"Hey guys!" he call out to them.
Mariah turns her head to her right looking over at him.
"It's Ray!" she said.
He notice the others all stopping to look at he.
"Ray!" Lee said pulling in his fishing pole and walking back out of the river barefoot towards Ray.
"How are you?" Lee asked sounding caring.
"I suppose I'm well," he answered as best as he can.
"Do tiy want me to catch you a fish?" Mariah offered.
"Don't have to," he answered her back.
"I'm gonna catch a big one!"
He sat down by the river and removed his shoes.
Lee sits down next to he and puts his feet back into the water.
"How you holding up?" he looked at Ray with a sad look.
He is pretty sure he feels sorry for you and you know he only wants to help you through this.
"Lee," he begin, "I've decided to leave."
"What? you can't, you're not old enough, its dangerous."
"Not alone Lee," he tell him.
"Who are he going with?"
"Remember that night when we couldn't sleep and I used my father's sword for the first time?"
"I think so."
"Ever since then as I've known I've wanted to be a warrior, like my father and my grandfather."
"That's dangerous."
"I know, there's a chance the man who trained my father is still alive."
"What if he doesn't accept you?"
He hadn't thought of that.
"If not I'll find someone else."
"Ray, are you serious?" Kevin asked you, he had turned his body right to look at him.
He had overheard the conversation.
"Yes," he replied to him.
Kevin had a serious expression on his face.
"I want to come with you" he said.
"No, its dangerous for both of you," Mariah said giving up fishing to join in the conversation.
"Mariah, I can't stay here, the Knight who killed my parents might come back, its too dangerous for me to stay, if my father really was the famous warrior, then his son could be a target."
She knew he was right and he could see it in her eyes.
"When do you leave?"
"I don't know."
"Where are you going?"
"To find Darol, the man who trained my father."
"What if he's dead?" she asked trying to find any reason for him not to leave the village.
"Then I don't know, but I'm not staying here, if that knight realizes I'm the son of my father he'll come back here and if I stay here he knows exactly where to find me."
"I want to come with you" she says.
"Its too dangerous," he replied.
"I can handle myself."
"I don't doubt he, but its too dangerous for me and his place is here, I wasn't even born here."
"Don't forget to say goodbye when you leave."
"I'd never leave without saying goodbye."
He get back up from the bank and ran off.
"Ray your shoes!" Mariah calls back but he don't hear her.
Not noticing he keep running until he return to the village.
he knew who he was looking for.
"Master Lai!" he call out at the door to the local tavern.
He weren't allowed in since he was so young.
A man with long brown hair going down half his back exited.
He wore a brown top and white trousers.
Lai looked down at he.
"I want passage to Akeron," he demanded.
"Akeron? So far."
"You were a friend of my father weren't you?"
"I was."
"I need you to take me to Akeron so I can find Darol."
"Darol? He's dead," Lai turned his back to he and started to re-enter the tavern.
"No, I need to talk to him, he's alive, I know it, dad told me to go to him."
Lai turned his eyes surprised.
"Alright, for the son of the Legendary Kong I will take you."
"Thank you, I don't have many coins."
"Don't fret, but I can't take you right now."
"Why not?" he demanded.
He pointed down to his feet.
He look down.
"I should fetch my shoes," he said.
"When you have, come back here and I'll be waiting, get your things ready too, your equipment, clothing."
He nodded.
"Thank he," he say and run off back to the river.
"Ye forgot his shoes," Mariah said.
"I'm here to get them, then I go off to Akeron."
"Can we come?"
"I don't know, come with me and ask," he say.
When he return with his things and friends Lai is outside waiting.
"Can my friends come too?"
"I'm sorry Ray, Darol only teaches one on one...if he's still alive friends are not welcome, say your goodbyes."
He does as Lai suggests.
"Good bye Ray, don't forget us," Lee says to him.
"I never will," they shaked.
Mariah gives Ray a huge hug which he returned and he got goodbyes from Gary and Kevin.
Lai helps him on his horse and cart then puts his things on.
"Go," he says and the horses start moving.
Ray looked over his right shoulder to his friends with sad eyes.
