Disclaimer: I own nothing. zilch! Got that! Hehe. on with the story.
Chapter- 04: Where am I?? Goku thought as he tried to breakthrough the darkness that enveloped him. He couldn't breath. He felt like there were a tonne of bricks on his chest. A sweet smell came through to his senses. He forced his eyes open and took a deep breath and a soothing voice errupted his train of thought.
"So I see that you're child, here drink all of this", the voice offered. He accepted the drink and turned his head towards the voice. Next to him sat an old woman. She gave him a warm smile and took the empty mug off him. He looked down at himself and noticed that he was bandaged up tightly.
"Where am I?", he questioned.
"you my dear child are at my cottage at the bottom of the cliff. Do you mind telling what happened to you?"
"I.I don't remember an.anything about myself.nothing at all", he stuttered.
"Well child", the old lady thought for a moment, smiled and continued, "you can live with me until you find yourself again. Does that sound good to you child?"
"Yes, thank you so much, I.I don't know how I will repay-", she puts a finger on his mouth and said, "shhh, it's alright. Just rest." He lie back down to the bed and shut his eyes and was pulled back to the welcoming darkness.
~*~*~Dream~*~*~
Goku ran through the endless darkness. His body felt cold as the shadow slowly ate him. He panicked and kept running.
Help! Someone, anyone!! His mind cried. He kept running but due to exhaustion he fell.
Help please he pleaded. The shadow advanced and took him in but.suddenly there was a flash of blinding light. Goku puts a hand to shield his eyes and through the gap of his hand he saw a shadow of a man walking his way. Goku can just make out the man's looks but wasn't recognisable. The man extended his hand and whispered Goku. The boy reached his hand towards the shadowy figure and as soon as he accepts the hand they were enveloped in a flash of light. The last thing he heard was.
~*~*~End Dream~*~*~
He woke up in cold sweat. He thought of the mysterious man in his dream and wondered how important the man was in his life. He guessed that Goku was his name. He got out of bed and headed out of the door. The old lady was sitting on a small rocking knitting. He cleared his throat and went to her.
"Hello dear", she motioned him to an armchair opposite her. He thanked her and sat down. There was a small silence, Goku decided to tell her about her dream.
"You know, I just had a dream and well."
"Yes"
He went on telling her about how he was running through the darkness and he described the shadowy figure in the bright light and how the man called him Goku.
"hmmm, the description you said sounds familiar to a monk. what do you call them", she paused for a moment. "Oh yes, a Sanzo Hoshi." She saw a puzzled look on his face and continued, "A Sanzo Hoshi is a well.I don't know too much about them. All I know is that they are high ranked monks and there are not many of them. Another thing dear, I presume Goku is your name so I will address you as that", the old lady spoke after a small period of silence.
"Yea, Goku"
