Mystery Child

In the Village of Doka was heard the Cry of Kafas, the mysterious Boy born with the mark of the Sacred Spear of Upawa Kingdom; the far end of the Middle East.

A Kingdom of renowned Hunters who are known for their excellent skill in hunting and dreaded by their fierceness in battle.

It was known by the legend that whoever possesses such a mark must have been chosen by the Gods for a special task that will only be known when the time is right.

Kafas' mother, when kafas was sixteen years of age told him of the drama that took place during his birth.

**Sigh**

"Kafas my beloved, if it is that you ever wondered how and why you become so unique, know that it has been from your childhood."

"It happened that when I was still pregnant with you, I had a vision and in it, I saw a spear standing on the air, having on it white ribbons."

"As I looked on, I saw the spear emanating bright rays of light which covered the whole atmosphere and suddenly, a voice...."

"Take hold of the spear before you."

"Afraid, I approached and took it by the hand and was further instructed by the voice to place the spear close to my swollen tummy.."

"Abiding by the command and placing it close as instructed, the spear was nowhere to be found, after which the voice and vision faded."

"Early the next morning, a strange magnificent sight was seen in the sky.....the very spear I saw in the vision was drawn boldly in the face of the bright blue sky for every creature on earth to behold but that was when the terrible one was heard....."

**roarrrrr!!!!**

"The dreaded monster known as Dracos was so restless when he saw the sign of the spear boldly drawn in the sky.."

"Knowing what it stands to represent, he immediately sought out means to know whom will bring forth the liberator chosen by the supreme Gods.."

"Noooooooooo!!!!"

"This can't be happening, at least not when humans have lost hope of a liberator."

Before now, Dracos have waged war with the human race, fighting all that reverence the supreme Gods and bringing them to slavery and bondage...

Being so victorious in the battle against men, he taught of attacking the last standing Kingdom in the far end of the middle east one more time to conquer and bring it to ruin since they have refused to surrender and become one of his allies...

...

"Oasis, you think sending a Liberator at this time of my conquest of men will deter me from achieving my goals of ruling all worlds?..."

**Hahahahahahaha**

"Victory is almost obtained and not even this brat you send will be able to stop me.....unless...you know.....you forget so easily how so many liberators have passed on not achieving their purpose of liberating humanity from me...."

The roars and boastings of Dracos could be heard by all but deep within Dracos was fear...

He knew so well that no one can stand up against him and no human force could match his power except a Liberator...

A Liberator dwelling amongst men is the most dreaded weapon in the arsenal of men and if not removed early but allowed to grow in size and might, then will him become as powerful as the supreme gods, this Dracos is not willing to become a reality cause it stands in his way to becoming 'supreme' once more...

....

Hearing the boastings of Dracos gave Yura a hard time that she almost had a premature delivery; for the boastings and taunt of Dracos were as a result of the Liberator in her womb and knowing how dangerous and unfruitful in mercy Dracos is, she swore to never let anyone know of her encounter with the supreme Gods let alone revealing her 'Seed' as the Liberator...

....

**kpu! kpu!!kpu!!kpu!!!!**

In the kitchen, making food for her husband, Yura was too busy talking to herself than the meal she was preparing...

"How can the only child given to me by the supreme Gods be chosen to thread such a dangerous path?....."

"Has it been heard that Dracos was defeated by any liberator?...."

"How possible can he fight such a terrible one and come out of it alive when all his predecessors have failed in the same quest?...."

"Noooooooooo!!! he must be kept hidden from the danger that awaits him and I must see to it that his future becomes bright like every other Upawa youth."

Yura was deeply troubled...

Still deep in her thoughts, she heard Kairu her husband calling out loud for her...

"Yura!.... please come over, we have a guest."

not responding to his call, he called a second time but this time was loudest...

"Yura!.... please come over, we have a guest."

Hearing her husband call, Yura quickly jots back to reality and rushed over to attend the call...

.....

In the far end of the town of Upawa, an elderly priest was instructed by the supreme Gods to visit a couple who had searched for 15years the 'seed' that makes a house a home and make known the plans he had for saving humanity from the dreadful horror which was about to come on the kingdom of men...

After making several inquiries about the couples, he was directed to an old building at the extreme of the town...

Standing before Yura and Kairu was the priest of Oasis, the supreme Gods...

**Sigh**

"Kairu and Yura, I came to make it known to you about the things that are to come after these days."

"Kairu, your wife will birth the Liberator and for a sign, she already has seen in a vision the 'sword of Oasis' which will be as a tattoo drawn from birth in the child's back."

"He will stay with you till the time comes for the 'Supreme' to take him but.....I will plead with you to not resist when the time of his departure comes...."

"For dangerous times are already upon us and this child is the hope of saving humanity..."

"Resistance will only give the 'terrible one who already is plotting the ruin of all an edge to carry out his will and you also can testify that he's terrible in mercy."

Hearing the words spoken by the elderly priest, Yura was more disturbed because her plan of hiding the child is made an extremely difficult task in an instant, and from the words spoken by the messenger of Oasis, she saw that hiding him will only be to the child's ruin and not only him but the ruin of all...

After welcoming the priest and hearing his message, the couple ensured that the words spoken were kept within them until the child's birth (only then can he be known by his mark to society)...

.....

Three months after the priest's visit, Yura delivered a baby Boy having a tattoo of a sacred spear drawn on his back as was said by the priest...

'the spear which you saw will be drawn boldly on his back.'

However, during her delivery, she saw a vision of the dreaded monster panting and yearning for the child's ruin...also immediately after her vision was heard the roar of the troubled monster in the Forest...

**roarrrrr**

"I could see him being brought forth and behold, the battle between your 'chosen' and I had only started Oasis."

.....

Lying in the Baby mat was a cute little boy with a whole load of responsibility; his whole kingdom was depending on him for peace in an unforeseen future, a future he knows nothing about, a future he never choose for himself.

Even though he was a kid, he was respected even by the high and mighty in the kingdom; a liberator of the future.

Who can tell him what the future holds, who will protect this fragile child from the dangerous and traumatic future that awaits him?

Seeing the mark on his back, all Yura could do was to stare at him with free fall of tears running down her cheek as she contemplates on how tragic and dangerous the future of her beloved cuteness and her only Son could look but the little boy lying down before she could only smile as if giving her hope and assurance of not being too scared and worried of his future...
