Since I have been very busy I have decided to skip my original plan of making chapter five a chapter called 'Killer Prices' I gave decided to go with putting in a little background info of Gora in its place. It's a little short but I am kind of rushing it so please don't pester me about it. Thank You.

Chapter 5:

A human who has never known the meaning of sorrow, is more vulnerable than those who have faced hardship.
Dark Memories

This place…

No it can't be…

Please not again…

(Gora's Memory)

We now see a young, 4 year old boy walking merrily through a peaceful village. As people see him go by they say to him, "Hello Gora." Yes indeed, this is Gora, as he was all those years ago.

Gora, you see, used to live a happy, carefree life. He came from a rich but kind hearted family. But his happiness was not to last.

One lazy, summer afternoon, Gora was just skipping home from a friend's house. But when he walked through the large, twin, redwood doors of his mansion and called out, "Mom! Dad! I'm home!" There was no answer. Curious as to why no one replied, he searched throughout the house in search of his parents. But when he found them, he was only met with the last thing he ever wanted to see.

He burst through the last door and there lying on the floor… were his parents, soaked in a puddle of their own flesh and blood. Gora fell to his knees and started weeping. "Why? Why did this happen," he thought as his tears mixed with crimson fluids of his now dead parents. He cried like that for what felt like ages. He only stopped when it was time or the funeral, 2 days later.

Now this was no ordinary funeral. At a normal funeral usually only friends and family are invited but not this one. Everyone was there, all weeping and crying over the loss of Gora's parents, and remembering all the things they had done to help there village. Everybody was in mourning. Everybody that is, except a small group of people, whom were silently laughing.

The next day, Gora's family fortune was given to his aunts and uncles, who unlike his parents, were the last people you would want to get there hands on a vast amount of gold. Over the next year, Gora's relatives tortured him, enslaved him, and abused him. He tried with all his might to endure it, and he would have done so if it wasn't for that one event. His 5th birthday.

A year had passed since Gora's relatives took over. It was now his 5th birthday and he was sure no one would remember it. He went through the daily routine of cooking, cleaning, and doing ever little thing his relatives told him to do. When the time came for him to be thrown roughly out of the house for the night by his uncle… again, something happened that he didn't anticipate. Just before being thrown out, his uncle stuffed a crudely wrapped package into his hands and said in an evil tone, "happy birthday."

Later when all the lights were out, Gora opened the package carefully. Then he wished he hadn't, for lying there among the wrapping paper was a small glass vial filled with some reddish liquid, and a note that said 'Here is what is left of your parents'. Gora finally snapped. He got up and ran blindly, not caring where he went, as long as it was not there. He finally came to a stop at a cliff, unable to run one more step. He dropped to his knees, and started to cry.

"Death here me now," he cried out, "I beg you to take me from this world for there is nothing but pain and misery left for me here! I beg you to please take my life and rid me of my pain!" then he fell face first onto the ground. Then just as he requested, Death came to take him, but not from life, but from the pain. This is where his journey for the truth, began.

(End Memory)

Gora sat up with a jolt, panting and covered in sweat. He took several deep breaths before finally saying, "It was only a dream. Ugh… I really have to stop eating dark chocolate covered Man-Eater (1) Petals before bed." With that he went back to sleep.

Well there you have it. Don't worry the next chapter is not about Gora. Oh no, it is going to be a chapter called 'Winter Flower' where a new team member will be introduced. Until then, See Ya.
