Chapter 1- A Strange Child
"Child, do you want to join our church? If you do the blessings of the Lord will give meaning to your life. No matter your age, you are not too young to serve our Lord!"
Donned in glistening golden robes, a man who seemed to be a high-ranking member of some Church said with his hands clasped together in prayer; this was all while a large procession consisting of more than three dozen people wearing either golden robes or armors stood behind him and stared forward with shining eyes.
All their attention was focused on a youth in animal fur clothes who looked to be in his early teens and was standing in front of a village entrance. However, one could see immature features across this child’s face that suggests he was younger than that despite his appearance and build.
This child had messy black hair that was tied into a ponytail. On his back, he carried a large stack of thick firewood, which would make one ponder how he looked so at ease carrying them.
With innocent eyes, this little boy stared at these strangely dressed people with a weird expression on his face.
The boy had just been about to enter his village after a trip out collecting firewood when he heard a loud noise behind him. After turning around, he saw four massive horses pulling a carriage as it hurtle down his village’s main road. While behind it were even more people on horses.
If it wasn’t for the fact the he saw his father defeat animals larger than these horses, the boy would have been scared witless.
After stopping to watch this man get out of the carriage, the boy then listened to his incomprehensible words. Not understanding a single word uttered by the man, he simply turned and continued walking back to his village, following one of the many rules his father told him of...
Never talk to strange people.
