-Tales of Death-
“You look worldly worried child, I cannot repeat a story once it is told.
For that is the law of the universe”
“Why am I here?”
“Which place do you think you are, would be a better question, for only you know the answer.”
“I died, but I am still alive?”
“Aah, a realization has been acquired.”
Death turned around and took a golden layered book
“This book keeps the records of all that happened and will be in the world of the living,
but as you can see I can not read it, I miss my eyes. I’ll strike you a deal young spirit, you read me a tale of this book and I will tell
you everything you need to know”
“which story would you like to hear?”
´…´
“No young one, first you tell me a story and then I will speak.”
“The story of the morning sun, by general Qao.” The child read that it was a story never told to any living being.
“You took an interesting one on your first pick, go ahead, I will wait”
CHAPTER ONE
Morning spirit, blazing sun, today the army’s song.
General Qao was a riching man.
Thought in the smithery, thought by the Chen.
Molding his soldiers, melting their lives.
Taking away their riches, taking away their wives.
For the far away land that he had seen, was richer in nature than his riching esteem.
“Take arms my man, we will march to the land.
To the blazing sun past the mountain land”
The march stood still before the dry ground.
Because what they witnessed was no sound.
Dried out trees and rotten land. They walked in the fumes of an unforgiving fiend.
Before they noticed it was too late. One by one they meeted fate.
The general saw what he had hoped to see.
Glistering water behind his dying tree.
Such a beauty, such a wench.
The foul breath created their corpses stench.
“Sulfuric acid!”
“Hahahahahahaha, yesss indeed!” Dead seemed to be coming alive in his laugh.
“But that is just one of the many meanings in the story. You can ask your question now…”
“Why am I here?”
“Do you know were here is?
“Is it the story or is it this plane of existence? You should look into that question first…”
The child gave a face that reminded of despair.
“I will answer you, but more questions will remain. You are were your living body is no longer alive.”
“I died?????”
“Hmmmmm, amnesia is common. All will come back to you. It is time for rest and healing, such things can be answered when you are ready.”
Death put away the book and sat down.
After time stetched out, death looked around.
They are come, gently wake
The army heard your calling, we must wake up.
There they stood, General Qao and his troop.
Death have you fixed the port!?
I´ll be damned to report!!!
Well general I´m glad you seek me.
The child has to return, you see.
Does she live by the tree?
His troops gave a big sigh, again with the tree!!!
We are going out of here to our family!!!
Death looked around again and pointed ahead.
Leave the child to me. We can ask the mountain spirit.
