The Great Queen And The Twin Dragon Sword - 3 The Book of History

Standing in the middle of my dad’s Secret Room still made me in disbelief…

It was never in my wildest dreams that dad has these big secrets from me, probably to us, my little brothers who’re seven years old. No wonder this room was tightly secured and been watched 24/7.

Dad was actually from another world, no, he is from another galaxy and no one is certain of how far his own planet be…

No wonder, my family has been sponsoring anything sort of expedition and studies about the universe.

At first, I thought to be 18 finally is the beginning of my real journey. I never imagine, that there is a greater, no, it is an adventure awaits for me.

Dad said that the necklace he inherits from her grandma is the key to a book he created. I just have to put it on for me to able to read the book.

I climb the stairs I found in this room. I saw a book floating in the middle of a circle where has 5 symbols around it. Dad taught me of these symbols.

Hiryū

Suzaku

Seiryuu

Genbu

Byakko

I stepped inside the circle and to my surprise, when I place the twin dragon pendant on the book cover, I was like entering to a portal of the world unknown to me… but it is actually the written on the book who’s filling my head.

I didn’t know, I was now floating and lights surrounding me.

“3 200 years ago, before the First Great War”

Far, in a vast land where hidden by mountains.

Where the East is a deserted land and which from the West is a Mountaneous Range.

South down the ocean, was a thousand miles away of a prosperous city the Water Kingdom and the Northern City of Hemora, it is as well a very rich city from a mining and generous lands for Agriculture.

Somehow, life still not fair. Slaves finding ways to set free, until a few numbers of slaves become a huge flock of people who wanted to find a place where equality pertains. They began a journey to find good things in a foreign land.

Days, nights, rain, and stormy nights or under the heat, they never gives up. They settled for a few days that become a couple of weeks or months but they still not content of what they’ve found. They keep looking for the best land to settle permanently.

Moreover, the path is not safe and it is treacherous, only a few have survived.

One night, a Goddess decided to visit her land, and she witnessed the hardships of poor mortals. She was bored and so, she went down into the land.

“Good day, your journey must be very long,” She greeted the Western deserters.

“Oh, lady. Have you traveled this land alone? Somewhat dangerous young lady,” asked by the elder who stands as the chief of the caravan.

“Did you find something good? Can you help us by giving a little information about a great land?” An older woman asks her.

“Yes, of course. There is a great land,” she pointed the plain ground of this vast desert. “just continue to take this path you are taking,” she answered with a warm smile on her beautiful face.

The caravan gasps in hope.

“And oh, I have more than food with me. I’ve passed by the caravan of the merchants that going to Water City and they generously gave me all of this food. I cannot finish them as I am alone and am afraid they’ll just rot along my journey,” the Goddess show the baskets of foods behind her cart.

The poor mortals rush to her cart. They jumped in happiness seeing a lot of food enough for the banquet tonight.

“Why not join me for a big supper tonight?” her invitation.

The flock finds a safer place to camp for the night. They began cooking and men start tasting the sweet wine.

The children play and the elders laugh. Young men slaughter the chickens and they began roasting them. The women and young girls helping to peel the carrots and potatoes. They make a big pot of stew.

The goddess attends the sick and she gives a tonic then advice how much volume of the liquid they must take every day.

She called a few young adults and give them herbs. She teaches them how to make some tonic for a common illness like flu from the weather.

When everything is done and settled, few old men start playing their harmonica. A young man and his father play the guitars and others bring out their bongos. The women began stomping their feet and start singing the hymn of their tongues.

The young fellows including the children join the circle and dancing. Laughs, music, the food, and wine along with dancing ended merrily till dawn.

The goddess collects the happiness from the flock and left.

The next morning, they cannot find her and wonder. Nothing they knew that the beautiful woman who helps them is a goddess.

They prayed and raise their heads to thank God for sending them an angel. No one knows but the Goddess heard their praises. She looks over her shoulder and smiled then continue her journey to the North road.

There are a group of slaves escapes from Hemora City she wanted to meet.

The goddess gathered the clouds and let a heavy rain pours into the ground, enough for them to have water they needed. The deserter lay a huge basin to collect a huge volume of water they could use for laundry while taking bath in the heavy rain.

As the goddess left her cart, the flock takes the cart and the rest of the food that left behind. A huge amusement left them, for they remembered that they cook almost half of the food the woman offered, but her cart still full of food.

Gratefully, they continue their journey and follows what the woman told them.

“Follow the morning star from heaven. There, a land where the five walls standing high looking down a mirror.”

They’ve remembered what she told, a green land where there are 5 walls standing tall and its peek looking down into a mirror. They don’t totally understand but they won’t forget what she has said.
