Chapter 1: The Beginning.

Part 1: His World.

“Eww look at him he’s so dirty!”

“Why do people like him still exist”

“Someone should just end his misery!”

Hate

“Pathetic, weaklings should just die”

Anger

“Send him to a dungeon at least he would be useful their”

Pain

Jin felt all those, ridiculed and bullied, his weak body and

Poor heritage gave him all the disadvantages in a world

Where power meant everything. By doing odd jobs like

Being bait during a robbery and money being given to

Him out of pity, Jin barely got through a day.

Rain poured down, the mud roads grew puddles and the sky

Became dark. Jin opened the creaky wooden door to his

House, with aged holes that were never patched. His thatch

Roof with gaps letting rain In. He put his back against a wall

And slowly fell down. Water navigating its way down his

Cheek. His torn clothes was used as a cloth to wipe his face

And his muddy shorts barely gave him any protection

Against the rough floor. With his face berried into his arms.. he fell asleep. 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Man 1”We need someone to check it out first! It’s too dangerous, we can’t

Lose anyone.”

Man 2” I agree, losing men would be a huge loss to our small village”

Man 3”Oh.. I know someone who can go into their.. as bait”

Man 1”Who?... Spit it out already!”

Man 3”Well it’s obviously the poor boy, the one who lives just outside

The area.”

Man 2”Oh.. yes.. great idea. We get him in the morning.”

Man 1 and 3 agreed with this devious plan.

Part 2: New People

Loud banning on the door could be heard, men grunting and shouting.

There was no respect in any of their words. Saying things like ‘

You useless bog come here and open the door’ to thing such as

‘You bastard hurry up’. . After a few minutes of

Shouting, Jin woke up, slowly crawled for bit then stood up and started

Stolen story; please report.

Walking. He got to the door and opened it, slowly, taking in the view from

The holes.

With no time to react he was grabbed and lifted.

Man 1”You useless cunt.. how long does it take to open a bloody door”

Man 2” Relax Ran he has nothing, not even education to open a door”

Two of three men burst out in laughter. Ran slowly walked towards

A carriage and threw Jin onto it-without holding his power back.

The one in front, on the horse had a rather big figure, with broad shoulders

And big arms and patchy leather armour,  he led the carriage.

Ran the one who lifted him wasn’t as big

His crimson spiked hair was something new to Jin. He carried two short

Swords and wore leather armour. Finally, the man to his left was

Surprisingly silent. His hair was jet black and his arms were rather thin,

He stared at the sky holding onto his sharp shiny sword.  

After a few hours of travelling they arrived at an area unknown to Jin. Trees that

Surrounded the area stood tall, watching over the mortals that came and left.

The grass was golden and there were no signs of humans. They walked.. and walked

Until Jin spoke up”Where are you taking me..? You.. you ..your n.. n ..not going to

K..k..kill me are you?”

With no response from the other two, Ran slapped his head and replied”Shut up,

Your in no place to talk, just carry on walking and do as we say!”

Man 2” Ran calm down. If you get too loud it will get dangerous.”

“My bad Kei” Ran said his voice now a lot quieter. Jin has learnt the name of

The silent one and, for no reason, trusted him.

A voice, a lot more deeper, said” we’ve arrived”

Kei and Ran nodded and stopped for a hot second.

Kei approached Jin and got on a knee and said”I’m sorry to do this,

But go down those stairs, please, go on your own without making a fuss or else

It won’t end good for you”

“Oh shut it. Your too kind Kei, that’s your problem, just send him in” Ran’s

Rather annoying voice could be heard from his left.

With no other option Jin slowly began to go down the stairs, he was used to

Odd jobs but this…. This was something new. Luckily, there were torches

On the walls. The place wasn’t anything fancy, the walls was made of stone

With no design and the stairs had cracks.

After what seemed like years, Jin reached the bottom. He walked, only for a few

Seconds, and what he heard and saw.. was truly..

      Terrifying

Part 3: The Dungeon

*pant* *pant*

Roars could be heard from the distant. He ran and ran up the stairs faster then ever

His breathing became heavy and his body was about to collapse. He saw the light

His face smeared with a look of relief and achievement.

“I made it.. *pant* I did it.. *sigh* I made it out”

He fell on his arse and looked up, only to see Rans rather dull expression

“What the hell happened..?” His voice seemed somewhat worried and was

Something new to him.

“Slow down Ran let catch his breath” the voice which for some reason brought

Peace to his mind said.

“We’ll let you sleep, for the night, but by morning we expect answers.” Said the grumpy

One of the three, his deep voice still frightening for someone of Jin’s age.

Time went by and the sun had rose, all of them drank water and even offered Jin some.

Their kind actions seemed to have gained the naïve Jin’s trust

. “Grumpy one is missing” Jin said, accidentally out loud.

“Hahaha, he’s gone to get us food and his name is Darius not grumpy one

Haha.” Kei laughed and seemed to be in a happy mood.

“We’ll eat then you will tell us what happened.” Ran who was silent

Until then said.

After around half n hour Darius had returned. With a deer on his shoulder

He came back and said”Now, boy, tell us what happened”

Jin explained as they ate  how the moment he reached the bottom he was greeted by

Blue wolves with fangs sharper than Kei’s sword. Even though he felt

Somewhat embarrassed, he also said how he ran immediately after seeing

Them.

Darius grunted”A few pups scared you. Here take this. Now go back and

Fight them.. where’s your dignity as a man?”

Jin’s expression was toned down. ‘Do I really have to go down again..?’

Jin thought.

With the dagger given to him from Darius he took a step down, this then

Became a slow walk down the same stairs.

What felt like another eternity, Jin arrived at the bottom, this time prepared

Or so he thought. Even with a dagger he was all bark and no bite. He was

Never taught how to fight. Once he came to realisation he stepped back.

But at that exact moment, Darius voice spoke in is head. ‘Where’s your

Dignity as a man?’. Jin now angry brainlessly charged at the two

Blue wolves. Only to be knocked back and onto the floor. He stared at

The snake like  yellow eyes of the beasts, Jin knew this feeling all too well

          Fear

That’s what he felt. The feeling of being useless and pathetic followed

After the Fear. With no thought behind his next move, he held his

Dagger with both hands and leaped towards the closer wolf

However, he was yet again met with despair. But for some reason he

Hadn’t given up. Relentlessly he got back up and charged.

Again and again. But, his remarkable stamina out did the beasts. Their

Tired expression gave Jin hope. He ran forward, once again, leaped

Towards the closer wolf. This time, there was connection. His dagger

Had pierced the wolf’s skull, it’s blood spilled on the floor and dyed Jin’s

Clothes red. Taking a step back, the other wolf seemed to be worried.

However Jin was met with happiness, relief. He stopped for a second

Then turned and glared at the other wolf and stormed towards it.

With a stab to it’s side the beast fell. Jin continued to stab it. Like a mad

Man only after minutes had he realised what he’s done.

He fell down and took a deep breath.

He then continued after around half n hour. He walked and walked…..
