Deep in the Sahara Desert, far away from civilization, a tall, young man stood in the midst of the newly constructed monk temple. The man, from the outside, looked as if he was no more than 24 years old, but was actually 86. Back those ages, being the ripe age of 85 was called ancient, an antique.

The unusual thing was, was that he stood alone inside the temple that was built for hundreds of people. Another thing was that he was holding a worn, brown sac in his hands, holding it as if he was cradling a newborn baby.

If one cared to listen carefully, they would hear him whispering to the wind, "I have guarded you for nearly a century now, but it is time for me to leave this dimension and enter the next. You shall be safe for this is holy ground. Later, five guardians shall appear and guard over you. Then…, you shall have no worries, for if they stay in this area surrounding this temple, they shall remain immortal, unable to die. That is, until it is the time for the death of this world and era. Do not worry, they shall safeguard you carefully, for if they did not, then the evils of earth would gather around, trying to obtain your great powers."

After he had said his speech, he untied the golden rope around the pouch and unceremonly dumped the contents onto the little field in the temple. As the contents fell onto the ground, they sparkled twisting in the air, all of them omitting silver flashes, all except for one. That unusual one sparkled with golden light. When examined closely, one would be shocked at the fact that the man had been talking to twenty coins, all silver except for the golden one. Even though the silver coins flashed brilliantly, they paled in comparison by the glare of the gold coin flashing with all its glory.

As soon the so-called 'young' man released his burden of their clothes prison, he turned and walked away, only to spare but one glance over his back. That hot summer night, as the man laid in his bed, slumbering, he slowly slipped into the realm of the dead. As soon as he did, a flash of light appeared around him, and as it dimmed, you would see that the physical body of the 'young' man was no more. In its place, was the body of an old man—the face with its own set of wrinkles, but you could see a hint of a smile, a smile that smiled for the joy of being released from his life long duty.

At the same moment the man had died, outside in the 'coin field', the gold coin gleamed once more in the dark night, basking in the light of thousands of stars, and glowed no more. That is, until nearly hundreds of years later, when a petite blond female had held it.
