It was raining heavily at night , but in a small village people surrounded a house carrying lights with them. Inside the house a women was about to give birth, all the women in the house were taking care of her and the men outside made sure to bring anything they needed. Soon the woman gave birth, it was a boy, evryone in the village celebrated with joy, it was the village chief's son.
Then a man came running to the house asking for help, he said he found a woman near the village while was on guard duty, the woman seemed to be giving birth. Villagers rushed to help that woman but by the time they reached there she had already given brith, it was a boy. The villagers carried the woman and the boy with them and took care of them.
The next day the woman woke up.
Village chief asked her: are you fine?
The woman: I am fine.
Village chief: my name is Joseph i am the chief of this village, you were found last night by our guard and brought here. Who are you? And where do you come from?
The woman replied: I don't know, I don't seem to remember , my head hurts to think about it, all I know is that I was supposed to find a safe place to go and protect the child I was carrying. My child? Where is my child!
Joseph: worry not, your child is safe, see my wife is carrying him along with my son, you gave brith to a boy.
Joseph's wife seeing the condition of the woman and feeling sad for the infant boy asked Joseph if he can let them stay in the village.
But some of the villagers were opposed to it, they said they don't know where the woman is coming from and who might be looking for her, she might bring danger to the village.
Hearing their concerns and his wife's request.
Joseph: the woman and the boy will stay in the village, if someone comes looking after the woman we will hand her over, but the boy was born in this village, this is his home and when he grows up he will protect it like it protected him. He must become a hunter when grows he grows up.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
The woman thanked Joseph for letting her stay there and Joseph's wife give her the boy to hold.
Some villagers were still opposed to Joseph's decision but they couldn't oppose him. They villagers left and only Joseph, his wife and the woman remained.
Joseph's wife asked him to name their son, the woman asked Joseph to name her son too.
Joseph: okay then, I am going to name the two boys now. My son who is valued and loved since his brith, shines so brightly, he will be called diamond and the this boy whose life had an unfortunate start and will not be so easy going forward will be called Gold. He will bend and break but always come together, pure as he was before, true to who he is.
8 years later.....
The children of the village are playing together and Diamond is leading them all , but Gold is just sitting in a corner watching them all play. Gold has never spoken a word since his brith, he can't speak.
The villagers tell their children to stay away from Gold they say that he is a cursed child and will bring misfortune to those near him. so no child of the village plays with Gold. But a little girl named Eris smiles at Gold everytime their eyes meet.
On one day...
Gold's mom: Gold can you go and give this pot to the neighbours?.
Gold nodded his head and took the pot. When he reached the neighbours home , the door was locked no one was home. But then Gold heard a voice, he saw someone coming out of the window, it was the village drunk Jhonny.
Jhonny saw Gold and he got scared he had been caught but then he realised it's Gold and got relieved.
Jhonny: haha i was scared for a second, thank you for being mute you cursed boy.
Then Jhonny escaped from there.
When the neighbour ( Samuel) returned home , he saw Gold waiting for him in front of his door.
Samuel: what are you doing here Gold?
Gold showed him the pot
Samuel: oh you are here to give this pot to me? thank you.
Samuel open his door and saw the inside of his house is a mess and that his window is open.
Samuel: I have been robbed! Noooooo.
Gold pulled Samuel's shirt
Samuel: you saw who it was? Thank God.
Gold: It was Jhonny.
Samuel: oh Jhonny , yeah makes sense.
Samuel suddenly had a realisation, Gold just spoke!
Samuel: whaat? Whaaat? You just spoke? Oh my God! Gold's mom where are you ?
Samuel took Gold to his mom.
Samuel: mam! Do you know what happened? My house got robbed!
Gold's mom: your house got robbed?
Samuel: yehhhh! but that doesn't matter! When I asked Gold if he saw who it was? He said it was Jhonny! He spoke!
Gold's mom: What you mean? He really spoke?
Samuel: yes mam!
Gold's mom: Gold my boy can you speak?
Gold: yes
Gold's mom fainted.
