You know life can be such a pain in the ass…well sometimes or it may be that I got cut down there & I’m feeling pain.
Well, there are moments in everyone’s life when something unexpected happens. In those times you have got to chin up & take it as it comes. The experienced people will tell you this along with other heavy meaning lines when you ask them something. I can understand that… you have got to experience unexpected things once in a while, which in turn will give you a funny story to tell it to your close ones.
I had gotten into an unexpected situation many times. Ahh… those were fun days… Anyway, the most unexpected thing that had happened to me was; when I was fighting with hoards of over buffed forest animals with my team. After fighting for who knows how many hours & while getting injured & seeing my teammates getting injured & killing… I don’t know how many creatures who wanted to kill us we finally found our respite. We were tired, injured & in my case fully drenched in blood. Nothing out there was making sense to any of us so we decided to take it as it comes. We were in this predicament because when we felt a powerful aura coming from inside the forest we followed it which turned out to be a giant blue crystal which I latter found out it was called an Aura Crystal.
It emitted pulses from it at uncertain times & on one time when it emitted a pulse, the creatures stopped attacking & reverted back to their original shapes & sizes. Then it began to glow & it broke into pieces. When it stopped glowing a beautiful woman emerged from it. Now it was a good sign as she wanted to reward me… we were tired to our bones but still held on to see what would happen next.
What happened next really put a stick straight up my not so blacked bottoms. It sent shivers down on the rest of my team. I think Aby wanted to kill me at that moment…wonder why?? The woman emerged out of the crystal & pulled me towards her not caring about my blood drenched appearance & proposed to me… Yeah…proposed to me…no…claimed that I was already her HUSBAND.
Think about it really, when you are tired, injured, dazed you get to hear that you got married to some beautiful woman who emerged from a crystal, what would you do?? How would you react?? It was not even funny…not while the other two women were glaring you to death.
I reacted in a manner which was most suited to the situation.
The woman said “Hello…My Husband…”
Me (too tired to be shocked or to show any kind of emotion): “WHAT???”
Unknown Wife: “AHHHH…HA HA HA HA…Finally…I have met you my love...I am so happy… I was beginning to lose faith but I held on… and finally I was rewarded. Husband I am so glad you finally came.”
Me (still not comprehending the situation): “What??”
Unknown Wife: “Do you know how many years I have been waiting for you? Too long if you want to actually know, but finally someone worthy has come forward…I am so relieved, my… (Blushing)My Husband…he he he he”
Me (still trying to understand the situation): “What??”
Javel (annoyed): “She is telling you that you are her HUSBAND…YOU IDIOT!!!”
Ron (tears rolling down from his eyes…Why exactly, I don’t know): “WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE YOUUU!!!!??? WHAT WERE THE CATEGORIES IN WHICH THE GROOM WAS CHOSEN??? I DEMAND A REMATCH!!!”
Aby & Marion (said in unison with a confused looked): “Yeah…WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE YOUU!!! BOY!!!!”
Paleg was laughing… & Wei was on the ground still weapons in her hand. Maybe she is still feeling pain in her leg.
Finally I understand what was going on…
Me: “How did it happen?? Miss??”
Unknown Wife: “Ahh…you like to joke…how wonderful…he he he…husband you do not know what level of happiness I am feeling right now.”
Me: “Ah…Miss…I don’t know what you are talking about?? Please explain to me how did we get married??”
Unknown Wife (her smile fading away): “Please do not joke like that dear husband, while I do like jokes but not of this kind.”
Me (turning serious): “Miss, I’m just a teenager… & I really don’t know what is happening…Please can you explain this current situation.”
Unknown Wife (the smile is gone & she had a serious face): “How can this be?? The crystal should not have reacted to another person…This is not possible at all…dear husband please tell me that you are joking…”
Me: “I’m sorry Miss but I am not joking at all…my companions & I came here to find a long lost artifact & to bring it back to the Zoit council…
When we reached here we sensed a powerful aura emitting somewhere from this forest. We simply searched for the point of origin of the aura & found this place. Upon finding it we were surrounded by these creatures & we heard a woman voice talking in my ancestral language to offer her blood… I’m guessing that you were that woman. Then they attacked us & we were fighting them when again you spoke that you were pleased with us & offered me a present & you called me a great warrior. This was our story until now…”
She fell on the ground…she was speechless as well as some of my teammates. She looked at me with disbelief & said:
“You really are not joking with me are you? How could this be?? This cannot happen… You really are not a Blood are you?? Please tell me husband?”
Me: “Blood?? What is that?”
Unknown Wife: “Ah…it is the name of my clan or rather was the name… I do not know what they are called now… but before they were called the Blood Zumas.”
Me (my heart was beating fast): “Bl..bl..Blood Zumas???”
Unknown Wife: “Yes…have you heard of them??? Then please tell me about them… (tears rolling out of her eyes)…it seems I have failed…at least hearing about them doing well will lessen my pain.”
Me (I had a blank face): “Actually…ah… are you really sure they are called Blood Zumas?”
Unknown Wife (sadness & anger both evident on her face): “You think I would forget my own clan’s name!!! I may have failed them but I am a true Blood Zuma.”
Me: “Then let be clear something here for you or at least for me.”
She looked at me, her eyes filled with tears that would melt any man’s heart.
Me: “My name is Le’On from the Zoit continent & I’m from the Zuma Clan.”
Her face was filled with disbelief…then turned red (I think in anger), then it turned into happiness that she could not control within her.
Me: “I don’t know any other variant of our clan so please tell me what the Blood Zumas are?”
She started to laugh…her face returned to normal. She wiped her face clean & stood up. She came close to me & said.
Unknown Wife: “You really had me worried there for a moment…he he he he…I did not fail…I did not fail him…you really do not know who I am or who are the Blood Zumas?”
Me (little confused): “No, Miss…I really don’t.”
Unknown Wife: “Tell me dear husband, do you know the name of Hui’Mi?”
Me: “Yes…he is our clan’s patriarch.”
Unknown Wife: “Then tell me what rank he was?”
Me: “He was the highest in all of us…He was Zuma level 5, Red eyes.”
She started to laugh…really loud…come on women tell me…my heart was racing…
Unknown Wife: “Then we must first find the lake & rest there, then I would tell everything.”
She led us to a lake nearby; we gathered food & water, cooked them & had our meal. At times I would look at her direction, while we were working, she was sitting beside the lake & looking at it or looking up. In my opinion, she must be looking at the stars.After we finished our meal, she came to us & sat beside. It was odd, when we were eating she was just sitting as if to give us space...& while I was eating, everyone else was glaring at me...What did I do?? Then she said.

Unknown Wife: “Let me start with a story & until the end of the story I do not want any interruptions…OK?”
Everybody nodded…the air was filled with tension or excitement.
Unknown Wife: “Long before the Zoit continent was inhabited by different types of beast clans, it consisted of only two clans. Both were strong on their own rights. One was the Crodon Clan. They had greater numbers in their clan. They had a few specific features to them, like height…all of them were above 6.5”ft, they all had dark green eyes which were capable of seeing in the dark & a special clan trait. They could suppress their inner power to a desired state. They were a marvelous group, flourishing on its own.
And the other one was the mighty Blood Zumas. Though they were fewer in number but they were unmatched in battle. They were the stronger of the two clans. The Blood Zumas also had a few clan traits to them. They were all deep red in colour with black bordering running from their shoulders to their arms & also the legs. At full grown, they measured over 6 ft minimum, even their manhood’s were even deep red & long… he he he he he…*wink*
But the continent was not at peace…these two clans were always at war. Each battle was bloodier than the previous one; though it did not bother the Blood Zumas because they enjoyed it… they enjoyed fighting…more over they enjoyed spilling blood of others. Then a time came when both the clan’s royalty came to a mutual agreement. It seemed that war was stopping both of their advancements in the evolution cycle. The agreement was announced, though initially most of the clan members voiced their objections but they gradually accepted it or had to accept it because at that time they were ruled by Jui’Mi, the best of them. He was unmatched in every department. No other Bloods as they called each other could compare themselves to their king.
The agreement stated that Jui’Mi the king of the Bloods would take Naron the first princess of the Crodon royalty as his first wife. Thus ushering a new era of peace in the continent. This marriage though was a political one but for the king & his Crodon queen it was pure love & lust. It had to be…
Bloods were a clan guided by heavy lust but pure or true in its form. Upon choosing a mate they stayed together until death. Only royalty & few high ranking warriors were granted multiple marriages. The relation between the clans became more peaceful though resentments did run between them but in secret. The king eventually had to marry two other woman Bloods of high ranking warriors. But his love for his Crodon wife remained unwavered.
The peace in the continent was at its peak when the king had his first child of his line with his Crodon wife. He named him Hui’Mi. Now, the land had its first prince & with a dual racial trait. He was truly the first of his kind, rivaling the king himself when he was only a young Blood. The king was proud of his son, though he had few other children with his other wives but Hui’Mi remained his favorite. Hui’Mi edged out everyone not just in Blood traits but he had a new trait, thanks to his mother…he could control his inner power… He became the first Blood to conceal his true powers.
Now, like his father he was too, frivolous in his young life…bedding woman of both clan… Soon he too fathered many Bloods like him, some in marriage while others not. His sons went on to father their own children. When Hui’Mi ascended the throne, he wanted all Bloods to have the new trait that he or his children had. He wanted all the Bloods to gain control over their aggressive nature. Some rejoiced this order while other Bloods did not.
A young Blood female warrior of a high ranking family, named Hui’Mi as her future mate in order to change his mind. Her name was Adi’Je. She was the best female Blood warrior at that time. The custom for female Bloods to choose their mate was a strange one. While the other clan did it in the natural way, that means love or arranged. Though arrange marriage were also in the Bloods custom but the female had the last say. Every female Bloods looked for a single trait in the men, Blood Lust. The more the male had blood lust, the more popular for mating he became. It did not matter if the male was nice natured or a good person or a tyrant…only thing that mattered was blood lust in them. It drove every Blood female mad. Hui’Mi had the most blood lust in him at that time, naturally.
But before they could bind themselves in matrimony, civil war broke out within the Bloods. Some wanted to protect their true nature while the people under Hui’Mi wanted to take control of themselves. The Crodon clan was also pulled in the war.
After a long struggle Hui’Mi won but the cost was too great. The whole Crodon clan was annihilated with the opposing Bloods. Hui’Mi’s people also dwindled in number. In that situation he decided to migrate to an another place & create a new clan which would be devoid of unnecessary aggressiveness. He rejected to marry Adi’Je, who also fought for him.
He gave her an another task, a much greater one. His plans for migration & control of clan traits were part of a bigger plan. He wanted to rebuild the Bloods in a new way. He told Adi’Je to reside within an Aura Crystal in the Dentia forest & wait inside it until the true heir of the Bloods come to reclaim their former glory. As she was the only pure Blood Zuma female, she would help him in his path.
He told her that after three generations, one Blood will come there to claim a stake & it was for her to test him. If he died, he failed. He also put a test for young Bloods. He planted a guardian beast in the swamps nearby their new settlement. Those young ones who would kill them will automatically receive his hidden clan trait, the Blood trait.
Yes, I, Adi’Je the last of the pure Blood female remained here testing young ones for generations but all failed. Some generation ago, they stopped coming but I did not stop having hope in my heart. Thinking that at any moment, the true heir would come & claim what was his. And finally today I found a young Blood, so I tested him & he showed a level of Blood Lust only the Hui’Mi had. It drove me into ecstasy…that level of Blood Lust came of you, as my right as a member of the Blood Zuma, I chose Le’On to be my mate forever on the basis of his Blood Lust. Yes, Le’On… that was how you became my husband.
But tell me how you have that level of Blood Lust that I encountered in Hui’Mi?”
Me: “I’m his from his last remaining bloodline.”
She smiled & hugged me for a while. At that moment it felt like, that only us two were present in that place, it felt peaceful. Then she looked at me & said.
Adi’Je: “I Adi’Je pledge myself at your service…My husband…My King.”
Today was a weird day but it ended in a good atmosphere. I hope tomorrow would be a great day for me & that I would find some balance to my life...too much new events...How could I have a wife???…So please, bring on the adventure. I need it.
