It’s getting farther and farther


    The glimpse of light that is leaked from the small window is getting further


    And light was fading bit by bit


    Until it was gone, and only dark remained


    In the midst of the darkness a sole soul was falling


    A soul of what was once a man


    But now, only remains is seen, and a man he is no more


    Gil opened his eyes wide ,sweat was pouring from his head , and he was panting


    Was it a dream? he was wandering


    But deep down in his heart he knew the answer


    And for that he could not admit it and could not accept


    A truth is a thing that held cruelty deep within


    For that, many seek to escape the reality and held hope to illusions that passes their minds while sleeping


    And Gil was no different, he have gone to the end of the land , to the horizon of the lost dessert


    All in pursuing his dreams


    So after all of that accepting the reality wasn’t an option for him, and he could only keep perusing


    Keep fighting


    And keep standing


    In hope for one day his illusion, his desire his dream all become realized


    So he stood tall on his foot more determined than ever


    His yellow eyes turned his unwillingness to stubbornness to defy his vision


    He was staring at the red shy face of the sun as it was setting down to the horizon


    Its last red rays of the day revealed the hidden beauty of the sands hills


    At that moment the lost dessert was more beautiful than ever(oh yeah he is back to the lost dessert not sorry for not telling hahahahauahaua, cough cough cough)


    And so, under the gaze of the red beautiful sun Gil walked


    To where?


    Nobody knows, even gil him self was walking without really knowing where


    He only walked to where destiny guided him


    ………


    Two year has passed since the smile event


    In the lost dessert a half naked youth was laying under the moon light


    He had a thick black bear, a long hair and yellow eyes


    He was your typical cave man with a saber in his only cloth that covers his waist


    He of corse was our beloved and dear Gil


    However looking at him now, Gil’s eyes no longer shined with determination


    But instead they fell to the brink of insanity


    ‘Sands sun moon sands sun moon sands sun moon’ His mouth was constantly murmuring like a mad man


    In the past two years Gil walked in the lost dessert


    He did nothing else he only walked


    He didn’t fight beast he didn’t hunt animals he didn’t do anything


    He’s just walked and walked and walked and the strange thing that Gil didn’t sleep nor did he eat in those past two year


    He never felt hungry nor felt sleepy


    He only walked over the yellow sands


    He walked and walked and walked


    Under the hot sun he walked


    Under the tender moon light he walked


    Cross the night freezing breeze he walked


    In the completely empty lost dessert Gil was a lonely walker


    That until his mind could not take it any longer and he decided to lay down and clear his head


    But that was for no vial


    His mind became any thing but clearer


    While he was laying on the ground Gils hand griped some of sand then he spread it through the air


    “You know ” said Gil’s with a sad quite voice


    “I left a wife behind” a drop of tear slide on his cheek


    His voice started trembling


    “She was crying and begging”


    “She even told a silly lie that she was finally pregnant”


    “All to stop me from going”


    Gil was quite for awhile, he wasn’t sure what he was doing, or to who he was talking.


    “Jinan” he mummer with a low voice


    He just felt so lonely that he must speak with anyone


    It didn’t matter if it was sand rock or anything he needed to talk


    “Jinan, I didn’t die did I” he said with a calmer tone than before


    “I still have alot to do”


    “I’m not ready to die yet”


    “So”


    Gil took deep breath and screamed it all “STOP MESSING WITH ME!”


    Gil voice shaked the heaven


    It was a very angry frustrated voice


    Gil lost his determination lost his will


    “I only want to leave this damn dessert”


    He whispered with a hopless voice


    And then from behind, Gil heard some noises


    Something sounded like a foot steps


    So Gil immediately stood on his foot he was very excited


    It didn’t matter what kind of person that noise belonged nor why did he come


    The only thing that mattered that he was a living thing


    Because after two years of isolation Gil was yearning to see any sort of life


    Gil turned around to see the newcomer.


    He was a blonde young man  wearing a red cloth


    The strange thing that his clothes were very clean as if he wasn’t traveling through a dessert


    The youth smiled at gil and said “that was a very loud scream wasn’t it, caveman”


    Gil lips curved up and he said with a self mocking tone “yes indeed yes indeed”


    Gil extended his hand to the young man then said “my name is gil, dear friend what do you say a bout traveling together”


    Gil at that time didn’t care about anything he only wanted some company


    A look of surprise was painted on the young man however this expression soon turned to happy smile


    He reached Gils hand then said “hahahaha this must be a string of fate that brought us together caveman”


    Then the smile got even brighter


    “or perhaps the work of devil ” he whispered


    “What do you mean?”


    Gil was a little suspecious now


    However his suspecions has soon gone after what the young man said


    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.He laughed “my dear caveman, I am also called Gil , I am Gil pen Sarap”


    Gil yellow eyes where wide open from the shock


    “Ahahahahaha indeed indeed this cannot be a mere coincidence”


    He laughed


    But if thinking clearly what was the odds of two people with a unique if not bizzere same name meet in there lifetime and in such a isolated place


    However with current Gil mentality he actually didn’t care to suspect or to doubt anything


    As long as he can be free from his isolation he didn’t care who he was with


    Even if it was the demon he wouldn’t complain


    So with a happy tone the yellow eyes gil said to the blonde one


    “Then my destined friend, shall we get going ”


    When he said that his finger was pointing West where the sun usually meet the horizon and where the legends told of the legendary land


    “Yes we shall” replied the blonde Gil as he seemed excited about his adventure


    However after they stepped a couple of steps, the blonde youth noticed some thing that was on the spot where the yellow eyes fellow was laying


    It was a minor thing that anyone could easily miss


    It was a ring size stone


    A seemingly ordinary stone


    With nothing eye-catching within it


    However the blonde youth knew that in this dessert there were only sands and this stone was foreign to this lands


    And then he thought maybe this stone held some importance to it or why else would any one carry it to such a dessert


    He thought maybe I shall tell this cave man about it, or


    He had other interesting thought in his mind


    Instead of telling the caveman he stomped it to make it go deep into the sand


    And finding the stone now is like finding a drop of blood in the ocean


    The bearded Gil realized his partner slowing down so he looked back  “brother why the wait let’s go”


    “Coming ” responded the red roped one.


    Looking at the red clothed man Gil realized something and then a question floated in his mind


    He started at his friend and asked


    “Hey brother how come you don’t have any weapons? And you also came to such a dangerous place, How srange?”


    Hearing this the blonde youth smiled and then slammed his fists against each others “I use this to fight “proudly he said.


    “I am a disciple of a shadow fight style named the Gil style”


    He then whispered like telling a secret “it was founded by me”


    As the cave man listened he was happy “Wow it seems impressive, but I wonder how impressive can it be?”he said with a sigh then he mockingly added “a newly founded style I doubt it will be …..”


    “You seem to be looking for a beating, eh friend?” Interrupted the blonde with irritated tone


    The caveman heard what he was waiting for ,and with excited smile “bring it” he said while reaching his saber grip and with one move


    Swift


    He unsheathed the saber


    He was holding the saber with 30 degree angle from the vertical no too upward not too forward giving him a 2 meters striking range a range that a bare handed fellow cannot overcome easily


    The blonde youth stance was rather a weird one he was crossing his hands in front of his head spreading and curving his fingers like an eagle claws and pointing them in the enemy direction


    The cave man was startled by this stance


    He fought, and many that he fought but he never seen something like that


    And because he never saw something like that he wasn’t sure what to do


    It can’t be that profound style can it ?


    The caveman wondered in his heart


    He was thinking of a way to start the fight however as he was thinking others were acting


    With a fast sidestep the blonde youth tried to turn around the saber and close the distance


    The caveman slashed to the side while taking a back-step


    The slash was only meant to stop the enemy while retreating


    Seeing the strike the blonde stopped the attack and stepped back avoiding it


    If the saber was targeting him he could easily evade and close the distance which means victory to him


    Only, the slash was targeting his path cutting his way to close up


    “Huh not bad “the blonde praised however as he was talking a flash shined


    This was a battle no place for chitchat


    Any carelessness could cost you dearly


    The blonde stepped back avoiding the strike however his hand was scratched and blood was leaking he didn’t completely avoid it


    Although that, the attack didn’t stop and a very fast follow up attack was heading toward the youth


    However at that moment the blonde man claws moved very swiftly from above the saber catching it from the two flat sides and pulling the saber in a practiced manner closing the distant


    At this moment the caveman panicked he have never been in such situation, he was pulled to the blonde youth very easily


    The blonde youth jumped as he was pulling and with a circular motion he kicked the caveman on his neck back


    Our dear Gil was knocked out


    Catching the flats then pulling and kicking where done in a very fast practiced move, this was the rope technique


    It was a very hard time based counter technique it uses the enemy momentum against him to close the distance and gain victory


    A fighting between martial artists is all about technique and experience


    The yellow eyed fellow never experienced a shadow fighter while the blonde youth have fought many saber users, and so this fight result was inevitable
