The Courageous Knight
Chapter 1: Into the woods
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThere was a young man name Zeus, who lived in a small town surrounded by tall trees and mountains as far as the eye can see. At the age of tweleve, Zeus lost both his parents, lil brother and older sister in a tragic hit'n'run car accident. He had no other family to turn to, so he was placed in a orphange. Zeus never did believe in the whole ''adoption'', being part of a not blood related family, so he never did try his best to impress other parents, thus, causing him to be picked on and bullied. But that never bothered him, infact, he was always pure of heart before and after the death of his family, he knew right from wrong, always helped others in need, both people and animals. At the age of eighteen, Zeus had to leave the orphange and search for a way to live on his own. He then was able to find two jobs, one being a waitress at a well-known resturant, and as a teacher assistant at a Karate class he was currently taking. As the years passed, Zeus grew up to be a fine young man, still following the teachings of his parents and master, to always be good and courageous. One day, Zeus decided to take a walk at the Everfree national park.
'' Huh...what a week, i'm glad the weekeneds here, it's exhausting having to work at a resturant for fourty hours, especially after the owner had promoted new deals for the customers, but I can't complian about having to practice with the master after words, and having to assist and play with the younger students, still I wanna make a difference in the world, I dont want to wait tables all day, I wanna help others in need, to be known as a true hero, I just hope my acceptance letter to the police accademy will arrive soon, I've passed the physical test with flying colors and the FBAT was a miracle, all that remains is the congrats letter.''
After miles of walking, he has suddenly stumbled upon a new path, much different from the path he is currently on which consist of dirt and gravel, this path was laid out with small stones that lead beyond the bushes and trees.
''Hmm this is new?, how long has this path been here?''
he said, as he staired curiously at the path wondering to where it may lead to. he then looked to the sky, seeing that it was a mixture of blue and sunny orange as the sun begins to descend to the earth and the moon soon will be it's replacement.
''I guess I can go on just a bit further, it's not like I'm looking forward to going home anyways.''
Zeus thought as he began his journey on the path of curiosity to see what might lie ahead.
After walking for ten minutes, the young man has came upon a door way, both sides consist of big rocks piled on each other and a much longer rock on top of the two piles, forming a large doorway held together by vines. Amazed by the structure, he continued his journey through the doorway, looking forward to what other things he might find ahead. All of the suddon, out of the ordinary, the ground all around you began to shake.
''Whats going on, is it a earthquake?!''
he cried, as he tried to keep his balnce from falling during the intense shaking of the earth. During his struggle, the ground began to crack beneath his feet, and to his surrprise he turned around and began to run the path, hoping to avoid falling into one of the holes forming during the irruption. Though at his top speed, Zeus did not manage to escape his faith as part of him fell in the ground, desperately trying to pull him self out as he clawed at the ground with little success. Soon the ground he had grabing hold of came lose from the earth, and began to descend in the pit. During free fall, he's life flashedbefore his eye's, he rememberd all the good time he had with his family, the good times before the accident, all the time he played with his lil brother and helped him with his homework, when his older sister was being picked on at the park, he'd step in and protect her even though he'd get pummeled to the ground, and the time when his parents took all three of them to the fair and had a blast, those where the days.
''Well, I guess this is it heh heh, I cant complain about anything, I lived a good life, still, its to bad I have to go go at a young age and leave my master and students behind which I did consider my family, but at the bright side, I'll finaly be reunited with my real family again.''
As he said his last words, he excepted his fate and prepared for impact when suddenly, as he approaches, a small light at the end of the tunel that glew brighter and brighter; to his amaze, what seem to be just a light was actually a spinning vortex of water leading who knows where? As he went through the vortex, inside, he saw that it was a giant rainbow tunnal. As he fell through, he passed many odd things on the way, he passed though what look like a space filled the all different types of clocks, all the whilehe was hearing the clicking noise, as he passed the clocks, the rainbow tunnel then began to project many different pictures of Zeus's memmory, all from the past to the present. Zeus then came upon outerspace as he passed many different planets.
''Oh my god, this is amazing''
He said as he was both amazed and scared all at the same time. He's journey then had ended when he saw a flash of light of light, thus causing Zeus to black out.
