The elders used to say: "don't get out of the village walls, the Golden Crow will devour you".
That old superstition, with which they used to hide us, since we were children, we didn't see the outside world because of it; but the main reason is that adults never let us go out and explore
We were surrounded by huge trees, almost reaching the height of the white clouds hovering in the air.
For the children, they accepted this as something normal, but I never accepted anything like this, getting out of this particular village became the dream of my life.
I started to train myself in sword and martial arts in the dilapidated village school; if I ever leave the village, I should be able to protect myself and collect daily sustenance.
The headmaster was a sixty-year-old old man, he always made fun of me when I declared that I was going to get out of here, for me this was a constant lifelong goal.
I won't be stopped by a damn Crow from the old people's fairy tales of bygone time, it won't even matter if he exists, I'll kill him and get out of here.
After twenty years of training, planning and proper education to survive in the world outside the village, I began my journey, which I know how long it takes to reach my desired goal.
On the first day I went out surreptitiously in the dark and quiet of the night, there was not a single soul wandering around the village, Alan, I have a map that I stole from the village Public Library.
According to the estimate of the map, I could reach the end of those giant trees in a whole week starting from today, I packed all my things, wrote a farewell letter to the villagers and hung it near the Village Gate sign.
It was very difficult on the first day, I experienced unprecedented severe fatigue, I heard from the old people that if you go out, your stamina will be destroyed because the fairies want to eat your soul.
I heard whispers floating around me from the trees, "his soul is delicious"," surely the Queen will admire this unexpected harvest ".
Those whispers confirmed my suspicions about the superstitions that old people tell us before bed, the first of which is this annoying fairies; fortunately, I know how to get rid of these things after hearing the old people's stories for twenty whole years.
Since the fairies serve the beloved Lady mother daughter of light, they hate anything related to eating corpses, they are leeches sucking blood and spoiling the body, I just have to pretend that I am infected, rotten for them is enough; they are not smart enough to complain about something, I shouted loudly to get them away from me
"I'm infected. I've been sucked by a corpse eater before. I'm infected Rotten."
My voice reverberates in the darkness, like a loud trumpet; how lucky I am if in the first hours of my journey I encounter fairies who crave my soul!
Minutes later, he heard the panicked whispers of the fairies about him; my pathetic stunt started working against those stupid fairies, and I managed to leave as quickly as possible so they wouldn't suspect I wasn't infected.
Despite the inherited stupidity of the fairies, they have the so-called leader of the hunting corps, she is endowed with sharp intelligence, these gifts were given by the mother, the daughter of light.
I arrived at a huge tree with a hole big enough for an adult or even a monkey as big as the stories they were telling.
I got far enough away from those annoying genes, but unfortunately I heard a whisper in a sarcastic tone: "What a smart soul to escape that way ".
My body stiffened upon hearing it, the most annoying fairy came, the commander of the hunting Corps, the reputation of the other fairies whispers: "we're Sorry, Commander, it seems that we were deceived by the food supply."
Well, I have another plan, but it's a bit expensive, I think I learned the arts of spells from the library, as a way to protect myself if I get out of here alive.
It was in order to use spells that you had to sacrifice something in return, it's a mutual trade cost, I sighed slowly until I stared at the blue sky, which was about to fade after sunrise.
"I sacrifice my name for your use, O spell to expel enemies, my name is Kajal."
It was a fair trade-off for her, the name never mattered, no one had ever called her that since I was a little kid to Alan.
A light shone from the characters that appeared, chasing the fairies away, like the sun away from the earth, they would not find him or even reach the Earth for almost twenty centuries, at that time even the descendants died.
After falling asleep in order to gather his energy to complete the journey-he drained most of his energy using the spell-in the burrow of the tree he found.
In the afternoon, I got up, finished my food and set off at a tremendous speed forward, I am a martial arts user, even the muscles of my body have become as hard as the bark of a giant tree, I spent hard training by those old women, under the cold waterfall that is located behind the combat school in general.
It is under the waterfall all day a week, that waterfall sometimes it is very cold, it can freeze the fire even, and sometimes it is very hot it can melt the Iron.
None of the children was able to undergo this waterfall, except me, although it was under the supervision of adults, after my body gradually got used to it, I was able to resist well.
But, unfortunately, those annoying whispers came back again, but this time they were different, they hid well behind the relatively small bushes that emerged from the roots of the giant trees.
I heard whispers, it seemed that those annoying genes did not pay attention to my presence or the disappearance of those genes that were thrown out of the sun.
"The Queen is now in the labor of giving birth to the new fairy king," he said. "it's time to turn on her. he's weak now."
I knew that they wanted to turn on their lady; at the time of the birth of her king I didn't even know in books or old people's novels that fairies have a king
I didn't care or will care; as I used to, I never interfere in other people's Affairs, nothing will bring me anything except luck!.
When the group of fairies left, I packed up my resolve, hurried through the trees, until I got to the next stop was the bamboo Kingdom of the wild panda.
On the way to that forest, I wanted to bring something that could protect me in case of a sudden attack the moment I entered the borders of the forest-the bamboo Kingdom.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
It was the smell of fire ant dung, he lives in a colony close to the borders of the panda Kingdom, the panda crosses the friendly fire ants, a valuable friend and an important business companion in bamboo extraction..
In the books I read I drew a plan in my mind, that any scent of fire ants could pass through the kingdom peacefully, without getting eaten or eaten on the way through.
I got to the colony, until I found a red fire ant, throwing its droppings away from the colony, I didn't even need to risk entering the colony.
Because the ants in his case are shy and clean, no one will want to see their droppings, sometimes they collect them underground when they are filled and take them out in one push with a giant drainage pipe that extends to the roots of giant trees, it can serve as fertilizer.
I knew that this little ant, did not expect to reach its nest in time for this you want.....
I followed him until I threw her near a uprooted tree trunk, buried her in the dirt after a while I left, I came to her and took a deep breath, I know it's inappropriate to roll around with Monster droppings, but it's a duty to survive.
I started gradually and covered myself with excrement until the stench covered my entire body, but it was already late, the sun was almost gone, and also in order for the smell not to go away, I should not move my body for a while .
After a long sleep under a giant tree trunk; the floor around the trunk was plowed.
I had breakfast, a two-day-old bread in my suitcase, which is now full of the smell of mold and excrement, but I pulled myself together, telling myself that after I go out I will eat the most delicious dishes in the outside world, I will not bend here and now.
A whole day has passed and this is the second day, there is little left and I will get out of this hell.
After finishing breakfast, I went towards the borders of the bamboo Kingdom, which is located near the colonies of fire ants, I entered the forest with complete calm after sunrise on the second day of my trip.
The cold air was pleasant, tickling the limbs of my body, it was so eerily quiet, I didn't meet any ants or wild pandas.
At the beginning of my entry into the kingdom, I used to eat solid green and sweet white bamboo sticks, which I used to eat since I was a child in the village, and the green one that I hate, when I made a mistake I hit it on my ass.
I took a dagger out of my bag, so I took a white bamboo stick with me, I don't eat it on my way, I heard from adults that it has several benefits other than strengthening the body, which is restoring energy.
I tasted those white sticks after a long break, I haven't eaten it since I was ten years old, back then I had nightmares because of the green bamboo, but I hated white as well.
My way out of the kingdom seemed to be going well.
I didn't doubt that Luck is standing with me, but I think the panda is still sleeping for now, she is of course very lazy, she won't get up to eat until one o'clock in the afternoon after the trained demise of the Sun, I just have to skip the protection patrols and I'll be fine.
I ran as fast as I could, to get out of this goddamn bamboo Kingdom, I wouldn't be surrounded by my worst nightmares, I wouldn't last an hour at all.
But the thunder of the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon with the sun gone, I saw a little wild panda staring at me in amazement, one mistake I will expose thousands of monsters, I did not ???? more than using spells, it's too expensive, I lost my name, now I think I will sacrifice facially, I think I will not use it anyway for more, not less, just I will become faceless.
"I sacrifice facially, I use a concealment spell."
I think now my facial features have disappeared, and I have become invisible.there is no fear for me, so I can move quickly to cover a distance of another two days and overcome many obstacles.
I ran as far as I could, I passed many wild pandas, who woke up, the little Panda is still staring at the place where I was amazed, it was not normal for her the first time she sees something and then disappears like air.
I came out of the bamboo Kingdom, after the sun went down and darkness covered the sky, I still continue to run and in my mouth there is a bamboo stick that gives me enough energy to run, it's unpleasant but it still benefits me, and some smell of excrement still stuck to me, I will take a shower after the spell ends, I can't waste this precious time by covering a long distance.
It's been four days since my trip from the village to Lake Eugene, I've traveled a very long distance, I can't go back now, I will become a mockery to all the villagers, especially the hateful old schoolboy.
Now I want to take a bath in the lake, but it's full of carnivorous iguanas, it's very dangerous especially for a human, she disguises herself as a beautiful woman looking only at the top so that she lures the victim to enter the lake to be eaten afterwards.
As mentioned in the books, a grinding battle took place between her and the wild pandas for the lake, to feed the kingdom with good water, but after a terrible battle Eugene won and the Panda lost the battle..
I decided not to take a shower, I don't really want to die and I don't want to use more spells I don't want to lose something else.
I yearn for freedom more than anyone else in that Rotten village, I want to see the outside world in its beauty and cruelty as well.
For the sake of this dream, I lost my name, I lost my face, now I want to keep the remaining things for something serious, so that I can safely cross out of this godforsaken forest.
I stared at the lake for a while, until the lake started to make sounds and bubbles above it, quickly retreated immediately, I didn't ??? to be in the field of hunting those mutant monsters..
A beautiful girl with long shiny brown hair appeared, with a bright oval face, her honey eyes could seduce anything into existence, those girls appeared one by one, good-looking, emitting a pleasant smell.
But fortunately, I'm faceless, I can't be tempted for them, if they don't see what the victim looks like, they can't be tempted to go into the lake.
They made a sound that indicated anger, I think, and then they left, and so did I.
I went past the lake, and behind it there was a giant tree that had red fruits that were fully ripe, I think it could be eaten, because in the books giant trees cannot ripen their fruits until many years later.
I think this tree matured a few days ago, it's lucky that I arrived on time, what a lucky one, I thank the gods for this luck.
But the challenge was to climb the tree to pick the fruits, it is so tall that its fruits are a bit giant that my bag does not fit more than two at least!
First I have to eat until my belly is full, then I collect two fruits to eat throughout the trip, what a good economist, those old people should know that I have finally matured, they can't ignore me all the time .
I climbed the tall tree for about two hours after the sun went down, ate the fruits ready to go, packed my things, jumped from the top of the tree to the bottom taking the position of a rock so as not to get hurt more.
That landing made a loud sound that could be considered an earthquake, a source of dense dust covered the entire lake, I was not much hurt, only a few simple surface wounds, or my things..
Then I ran quickly towards my next destination, fearing that a panda or any other creature inhabiting this announced forest would come, the next destination was the destination between me and getting out of this damn place, and watching the outside world, only I would have to sacrifice several things to get out of here.
In the next destination, I will be limited or the next obstacle is to solve the questions, it is a mud made of clay, the questions of people passing by from here, if you give him the wrong answer he will swallow you and that will be your inevitable end.
You will never get out of the stomach of that slime, it keeps you alive but it will never kill you.
Tomorrow I'm going to take a day off and, making a well-thought-out plan, get rid of that dirty mud forever and banish him to the end of this unknown world, make him ask the Damned questions only to emptiness.
The sun has disappeared, the sky is dark, the stars are shining up, it was the source of my surprise from a young age until I learned what these luminous things are.
The old man of the library told us that they are things created by the gods so that when the sun goes down, the stars and the moon will be the source of light for them.
He always says that the Gods loved humans the most, loved lowly creatures, loved her, loved to watch her grow unlike the higher creatures who created her as well.
I was thinking about the village and my friends there, how they react when they realize that I have already left the village, I may never return to it, I don't know why we have been prevented from leaving it yet, it's true that I have encountered fairies, ants, pandas, spiders, Eugenes, I will face the mud, I didn't see any sign of a Golden Crow.
I was thinking about a lot of things until I fell asleep.
The fifth day I woke up for breakfast, a little physical training.
Until a whole day passed and the sun disappeared, I stared at the sky for a while, now the line between me and leaving the forest was a lump of mud..
The sun shone with its bright light, filling the forest, I woke up, ate the last half of the fruit left to me with a white bamboo stick, retaining my energy for the spell, thinking about what I should sacrifice.
The choice fell on the college, I understood from the books, that it is possible to sacrifice an organ, feelings or just your name, for this reason the choice fell on my college, I will not die if I sacrifice it.
Having breathed a sigh of relief, I headed to the place of mud mud, the exit from this place is approaching, a vile mud can not nullify my joy now.
The slime dwelt in an extremely long muddy river running from North to South, the slime was relatively gigantic reaching the middle of the giant trees.
In the middle of his clay chest was a giant crimson-red Gem and, his empty pupils containing nothing, Clay was falling out of him like old people's toys when they were sleeping, I think he had no teeth.
The mud Beast stared at me for a while and then said in a cross tone: "who are you?" "
The question was very simple, but I couldn't answer it, I didn't remember my name, I sacrificed it for the spell of expelling enemies.
I didn't think properly that I might encounter this monster, but I intended to use the spell to expel enemies again in his fourth question.
I decided to procrastinate a little with him in order to waste time: "I am nameless, faceless", calling myself two names that I did not think about or think about him either.
She showed on her clay features signs of surprise: "Do you know the names of your friends?" "
I don't know, I never thought about knowing them, they used to make fun of me sometimes, but I got to know several people, but now I really don't know, I didn't have any memory that they announced their names, even the old ones, as well, I didn't really know them
"I don't know."
Until the fourth question, I did not answer Well, many emotions intervened in my mind that I did not know anything about the place where I lived.
But I regained my senses again, this was what mud wanted, to confuse my mind so that it would swallow me up forever, I shouted loudly: "fuck you, mud."
"Sacrifice my entire body organ, use the spell to expel enemies."
He was not able to react quickly, I was faster than him, to use the spell, but my stomach began to ache very terrible pain.
But now my path was open, my nose always seemed to bleed with the sudden surprise of removing the kidney organ directly without good medical intervention.
Until my mouth seemed to eject blood, I fell to the floor resting conditions a little, until the pain subsided.
The pain was unbearable, so terrible, I felt like I was about to die, after I got here, after such a long distance, I was crying instead of tears with blood.
The dream of my life was about to disappear, I was not able to use spells well because the pain prevented me from speaking well.
To make matters worse, a golden feather fell on my head, I tried to remove it until I stared up and found that there was a huge bird painted in a bright golden color.
With a huge black beak and dark black eyes.
I smiled a crazy smile, blood was coming out of my mouth and nose, my eyes were red with blood, I lost, I wouldn't survive even if I faced the Golden Crow and won.
I didn't learn any of the healing spells, I didn't want to waste my time with something useless
I shouted loudly : "What are you staring at, Beast, What do you see in front of you, freedom seeker?" Or is it just a weak mortal on the verge of death To make fun of him."
But he just opened his beak and laughed a strange laugh, becoming rusty throughout the forest.
Grinning sarcastically I thought to myself: "Look What You got to, even an ugly-looking monster laughs at you?""
The Golden Crow spoke in a rough tone: "human being with no name and no face, the seeker of light, the light born in the middle of darkness, I congratulate you for coming this long way, it's a pity that your life has come to an inevitable end."
She laughed out loud, even the blood seemed to run quickly: "haha, "" I sacrifice my life, in order to use the spells of exile and expulsion.""
I resorted to the last thing, I breathed my last, to kill this damn Crow, so that he was trying to get away from the field of the spell, I watched his terrifying alone was a relief, also there was little time left for me to benefit from watching the view of the outside world except the darkness in the middle of the forest and the ugly places.
The Golden Crow faded, spitting out several words:"you got me, you son of a bitch."
I got up, blood was bleeding all over my body, I looked weak, I reached the end of the forest, there was a bright light at the end of the forest.
I arrived at the edge of a hill overlooking the bright sunlight, green pastures and a lot of trees, there are also animals unknown to me
He even saw a whole blue ocean, he thought it was all water, fell to the ground, his body parts seemed to fade and fly like burning coals.
Most of his body was gone, but he had signs of complete contentment, he didn't want to watch the outside world any more, even one scene.
"This world is so beautiful."
