Chapter 2
The Journey
Many years had passed; the Children of Pierrot grew up. But these children are not aware that they had powers. So the bandits killed every single child in every village. And they had been doing that for several years; Killing every innocent child in the village. But, then, in a certain year, four children were saved. They discovered their dormant powers and they fight the evils.
Since then, the villagers protected every child in their village. They kill the bandits who took the children. The Children of Pierrot in other generations become more powerful and destroyed almost all of them.
However there is still one evil left to destroy. In the Emerald Kingdom, there lived a good royal couple. All of his subjects and people were very kind to him and he himself was kind to them too. This event goes on until one day… (A/N: W/thunder and lightning effects…)
The Sorceress of the Forbidden Mountain, one of the forces of evil, came to the castle. She cursed the king. After being cursed the king thought of nothing but to erase the humanity.
The queen was so sad. She can't do anything about it. As the years pass, the king started to become a monster and hunger for death of the people around him. He would call all the people in the town for some battle at the castle arena.
His servants would serve poisoned food to the people. But, some are really stubborn and would eventually throw their food. And few only got EAD… (A/N: Eat and die).
Years passed, his daughter needs to have a husband. So, he created another game and this time it would kill his royal maids and also some people. In a village far away named Thunderstorm Village…
There lived a young man with a pair of bloody red orbs and a strikingly raven-colored hair, named Natsume Hyuuga. He's a really nice guy.
He is hardworking, pursued and an ambitious person. Unfortunately, his parents died when he was just barely 1 year old because of the war. He's being cared by the goldsmith who took him.
Then, one day, the goldsmith found out that he was one of the Children of Pierrot. But, he's so kind and he hid him away from the bandits. From that day on, he kept it a secret. He grew up as a goldsmith too.
He was so happy at that time and almost contented. Until one day... a messenger arrived from the castle.
"On behalf of King Ruka Nogi, our king, I present to you this letter. It says that as part of our tradition, young men are to face some battles when they come in the right age. But, the king's daughter, the princess, needs to have a husband and if you could pass the test, you will be married to the princess. And I hereby proclaim that you're a candidate for the princess's husband. So, I'm here, to ask your answer if you would join the battle game." The messenger said.
And after hearing this, all the villagers were happy for him. "Come on, join the battle game." One of the elders said.
"Thank you." He replied. "Son, if you want to live in this world, you must act according to your feelings alright?" the goldsmith said.
"Thanks a lot. Alright then, I'm gonna join the battle game!" he said. "Oh thank you very much." The messenger replied.
"Ok pack your things now and be ready for your long journey at the castle." The goldsmith said.
He's sad that he would leave them all. But the villagers said "Don't worry about us young man, we'll be alright! Follow your dreams."
"Yeah! Don't worry Natsume! We can take care of ourselves!" said the others. "You guys were so kind to me! Thank you very much! How can I ever repay you all?" He said.
"Don't worry son. When you are accepted at the castle, just come here and visit us. The Thunderstorm village is always being opened for you." The elders said.
"After all these years of taking care of you, you finally come in the right age. 17 years is such a long time. And now, you're leaving us." The goldsmith said, with fake tears.
"Now, don't get too emotional in there Pops." Natsume replied.
"Natsume, promise me you'll come back home one piece." Youichi said.
"Yes I promise you little Youichi. I'll come back and beat those guys who make you cry." He replied.
"Alright, promise is a promise. Deal?" he asked. "Deal!" he replied. "Now-now bade goodbye to your big brother."
His mother said. "Right! Bye big bro! You rock!" he said.
"Yeah take care too little bro!" he replied. And they bade him good bye.
And the journey of Natsume starts here…
