Turning Point (part 2)-8
(Somewhere on the outskirts of a forest outside of the territory of Assassin Sect)
A strange lightning occurs and a black portal appears from which Amatsu falls on the forest ground.....
Two days passes but Amatsu did not wake up,he had lost his will to live and was waiting for a silent death to arrive.....
Fortunately an old merchant passing through shows mercy and picks him up and carries him in his carriage...
(In the merchants house-The house was well built but not very lavish)
(Two young girls come out)-Daddy,Daddy is he awake?
Merchant:He will soon wake up,you both go inside your room and sleep...
(Ok daddy)....
Amatsu(wakes up):Where am I?Am I not dead yet?
Merchant:Young boy,you are not dead...
Amatsu:Who are you?
Merchant:I am just an old merchant, trying to make both ends meet...
Amatsu: Merchant?what is that
Merchant:I am from the Merchant sect and my seniors ordered me to come here to the Assassin sect to collect the money for the goods that the Assassin sect bought from us...and who are you?
Amatsu:I am a slave of the Assassin sect,the vice leader of the Assassin sect murdered my sister (Starts crying)...Aimi,Aimi,Aimi(Amatsu shouts loudly)
Merchant:I am sorry for your sister boy,but this is nothing new in this wicked world,I myself had to offer my wife to the lord of our merchant sect to save the lives of our daughters....I was a weak man,my wife commited suicide the very next day,they threw her corpse out like she was an animal,she had scratches all over her body,me and my daughter's kept crying over her dead body,but to feed my daughter's I have to bow down before the same hands that killed my wife...
Amatsu (Wipes his tears)(His eyes were raging with anger):I will destroy the Assassin sect,They took from me my soul,had they killed me instead of Aimi, I would have died happily without remorse...
Merchant: Revenge is the purest emotion,but in this state you won't even be able to kill the lowest ranked soldier in Assassin sect...
Amatsu:I know very well what to do;I had a scroll with me,where is it?
Merchant:Oh,yes here you go,this is the scroll and this is the broken pendant you were holding it in your mouth....
Amatsu:Takes the scroll and pendant...
Have you heard of the moon sword?
Merchant:Moon sword,hmmm,I have heard that name,There is a tale that says that there are two mystical swords-the sun and the moon sword they both grant mythical powers to the user....but no one knows where they are...It is said that the last owner of the sword which was three hundred years ago was from the divine sect he had the power to destroy an entire army with a single slash...That was all just a rumour,it has been many years since the divine sect had fallen...
Amatsu:I will take my leave now,I have to go somewhere....
Merchant:But were,you have never stepped outside of the Assassin sect...where can you possibly go with your weak state ....
Amatsu:I request you, please take me to this place which is mentioned in the scroll..
Merchant:Oh,this scroll is a map...You are my daughter's age I can't say no to you...We will leave after two days till then get some rest..
