The village is surrounded by massive trees many wild beasts and a lake, on the eve of a new year in the house of the patriarch small whimpers can be heard ¡°push mistress almost there, you can do it¡± after a few more pushes the strong wails of a baby can be heard ¡°hahahaha a young master is born mistress master you have a new boy¡± ¡°hahaha a new son what shall we call him, hmm Hiro my sons name shall be Hiro I hope he grows up to be a strong man, everyone we have a son and his name is hiro¡± as Hiroshi held his son in the air for the village to see, celebrations could be heard all through the village. ¡°Hiroki Hira Hino come greet your little brother ¡° ¡°ohhh what a little cutie so fat an look at them eyes so fierce yet adorable hahaha lil Hiro I¡¯ll look after you don¡¯t worry¡± Hira said, ¡° haha lil brother my name is Hiroki I¡¯m your big brother I¡¯ll be looking after you And your sisters from now on¡± waaaahhhh ¡°shush Hiroki look what you did now come on don¡¯t cry lil one I¡¯ll make sure he doesn¡¯t bother you anymore¡± Hino said. ¡°OK OK that¡¯s enough for tonight let lil Hiro sleep¡± Hisae said, ¡°night night lil Hiro don¡¯t let the wolves bite¡± ¡°Hiroki don¡¯t say that to him hahaha get out of here, lil Hiro I¡¯m your mother Hisae an this is your father Hiroshi he may look big an scary now but inside he¡¯s a little softie,¡± ¡°hush now Hisae it¡¯s not like he can understand you anyway he was just born¡± "I know that but look at them eyes so fierce and piercing like a wild beasts, must take after his father¡± ¡° hahaha of Course he will he¡¯ll be a great man indeed¡±. 6 months after Hiro was born he was sitting in his yard watching his father and siblings train, as he sat there trying to emulate the moves his mother called out to him as he looked at her ¡° Hiro what are you doing out here how many times have I told you not to bother your brother and sisters while they train¡± ¡°waaaaa¡± ¡°now stop that I know you¡¯re faking it so that¡¯s not gonna work on me mister now let¡¯s go see what the neighbours are doing¡±, He looked at her sideways as if saying how you know I¡¯m faking it seeing that look as if she knew what he was thinking, ¡°of course I know I¡¯m your mother I gave you life now let¡¯s go get some meat they¡¯ll be hungry once they¡¯re done an it¡¯s our job to feed them¡± after struggling for awhile Hiro finally gave up an went with his mother willingly, as they shopped around the villagers were very friendly ¡°mistress young master how can we help¡± ¡°oh you know my husband is training as usual and you know how he gets I need meat and lots of it¡±, ¡°of course mistress on our way¡± two servants went to get their order,This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°so mistress have you heard the rumours lately that the merchants have been saying¡± ¡°no I have not what have they been saying,¡± ¡° they say that not to far from the village is a pack of wolves an not just any old wolves either storm wolves they say as big as a horse and the leader of the pack is twice the size of all of them if the mistresses husband goes out to hunt please be sure to tell him to be careful¡± ¡° I will tell him and thank you for that I hope they¡¯re just rumours and nothing else¡± I hope so to the clerk replied as they left she held Hiro in her arms ¡°hiro i hope you never encounter any beasts when you grow up they may help us to survive daily with the meat they provide but they also destroy as much lives so if you cross paths with any beasts just run an never look back¡± seeing him look at her she knew he understood her, they made there way back to their home the others were still hard out training so she called out dinner will be ready soon wash up before you come into the house, OK shouts were her reply, lil Hiro was laying down on a bear rug , the rug was the size of 3 men high and 4 men wide Hiroshi had hunted it back in his prime with his own hands, he was walking through this small village when the bear attacked it he took the bear down so the villages rewarded him the patriarchs position he was gonna turn it down till he saw the former patriarchs daughter long black hair pale skin piercing jade eyes it was love at first sight. Hiro loved to lay on this bear and pretend it was his mount only villages who past their coming of age ceremony were aloud mounts his father brother and sister had mounts his mother had a mount but it died protecting her when the bear attacked. His father¡¯s mount was the cub of the bear he killed it was the same size as the one on the ground his name was lil claw, Hiro didn¡¯t understand why his father still called him lil claw when it was 3 times the size of him, all he said was you¡¯ll understand when you get a mount of your own. His brothers mount was the cub of lil claw he was called big foot he was half the size of lil claw but looked exactly like his father, Hino¡¯s mount was a neko she was pure white and the size of a horse when Hino rode on her she looked like a goddess all the villages worshipped the ground she walked on her name was snow, Hira¡¯s coming of age ceremony hasn¡¯t come yet she had to wait 3 more years till she turned 12 Hiroki was 20 Hino was 16. When Hiro was 3 months old he crawled away from his babysitter and ended up in the mounts pen, everyone was looking high and low for him but they couldn¡¯t find him one of the attendees found Hiro but when she walked into the pen all she saw was lil claw big foot and snow towering over the lil baby she screamed like a banshee and passed out. The family came running over an what they saw shocked them, a 3 month old baby an 3 beasts staring eye 2 eye, from others perspective it looked like 3 beasts were about to have a feast Hiro sat there giggling trying to Palm the beasts ¡°gahahaha my son is going to be a real strong man look at him not afraid of anything other kids his age would pass out from fright and some might even die hahaha a real man¡± from that day on when ever he went outside the mounts would surround and protect him an let him ride them which is weird because normally others mounts would not let others ride them even lil claw would not let anyone other than Hiroshi ride him not even Hisae. Snow loved Hiro she would purr and lick the lil one with all her might big foot would sit there an roar trying to scare the little one, he would sit there giggle then roar back thinking it was a game. Dinner was served it had many different kinds of meat and veggies. The family said there graces then ate like ravenous dogs outsiders might think this is strange but within this village if your household wasn¡¯t eating like this you were the one getting looked at strangely. Hisae put Hiro to bed while the others cleaned up the dishes Hiroshi kissed his family goodbye then went out for night patrol Hiroki wanted to go as well but his father told him he had to wait a year then he could take his own squad out. Outside the village Howls and roars were heard along with men screaming ¡®hiya¡¯ just before the sun broke through the sky the night patrol came back some men had blood all over them an some had wounds ¡°yep quite a successful patrol today the villagers will be pleased¡± Hiroki and his men bought back boars deer¡¯s a couple wolves and a tora cub for Hira. Hiroshi made his way home with hunt in one hand and cub in the other he put the animal on the table went to Hira¡¯s room an placed the cub under the covers. Hiro like always would crawl out of his crib crawl to the kitchen and watch his dad do his work with a small blade in hand he would peel the skin off the carcass like an apple with no nicks an separate the fat from the meat and hide, he would do it in one fluid motion like an artist painting a portrait the work was done in a length of a candle going out, Hiro seeing his father almost finished couldn¡¯t help but clap his hands ¡° hiro what are you doing up this early did you like the way I cut the hide off, don¡¯t worry when you can walk I¡¯ll let you help me¡± ummm was his reply ¡± smart little boy you are I hope you don¡¯t learn to walk to fast otherwise I fear no one in this village would be able to keep up with you¡± Hiroshi picked up the hide threw it on the line outside had a quick wash put hiro in his bed then went to sleep. The village part 2 Waking up in the morning Hira could hear purring and felt something warm next to her pulling the covers off she saw a tiny cub ¡°ohhh so cutie hey little one wake up hey look at me are you gonna be my mount oh you¡¯re so pretty I¡¯m gonna be fierce while I ride you like n¨¦e San oh look at your little paws oh look at your beady eyes ohhh look at those teeth how can you have teeth already you only look a couple days old¡± feeling the poking and prodding the lil cub snapped at the little girl. ¡° hahahaha don¡¯t worry lil one I¡¯m gonna be your mommy from now on mmmm what¡¯s your name gonna be well mine is Hira and you¡¯re a tora so I¡¯m gonna call you Tira, you like that little Tira¡± a yelp was her only response ¡°good let¡¯s go¡± dragging Tira out of bed who didn¡¯t want to leave Hira went around the house woke up everyone ¡° father has bought a mount home an her name is Tira come on wake up¡± everyone slowly dragged themselves out of bed ¡°come on Hira it¡¯s too early for this¡± ¡° but you have to meet lil Tira isn¡¯t she cute ¡° everyone looking at the cub everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh ¡° you know Hira lil Tira isn¡¯t a girl you know¡± ¡°what, what do you mean she¡¯s not a girl of course she¡¯s a girl I¡¯m a girl so she has to be a girl so there¡± sighing again Hisae picked up Tira ¡°see here and here that¡¯s means that he¡¯s a boy, you remember I told you the difference between boys and girls now I¡¯m telling you that he¡¯s a boy¡± looking at the cub for a second with tears almost coming out Hira made up her mind ¡°well he¡¯s gonna be a pretty boy and he¡¯s gonna be the fiercest of them all just you wait an see¡± chuckling to themselves everyone got ready for breakfast Hiro was on his mother¡¯s lap she was spoon feeding Hira looking over put Tira on her lap and tried to feed him as well, ¡°Hira don¡¯t you know newborns need milk to survive they cant eat meat yet¡± ¡°but look he has teeth Hiro has teeth and he can eat meat see¡± ¡° No silly Hiros 6months now of course he can eat meat but when he was just born he drank nothing but my milk as did you an your brother and sister¡± ¡° ohhh but I don¡¯t have any milk I¡¯m still a little girl ¡° pffftt was heard and chuckles ¡°No silly they need animal milk OK¡± ¡°look Hira when we finish breakfast we will go out and let him drink from snow what do you say ¡°Hino said OK Hira¡¯s cheeks blushed. The children finished the food cleaned up then went outside stuck in his mother arms Hiro wanted to go as well but his mother would let him ¡°no Hiro I¡¯m not finished yet you can go outside when we are done¡± hearing that Hiro didn¡¯t stop chewing an keeping opening his mouth for more, seeing his actions Hisae couldn¡¯t help but sigh ¡°you eat just like your father what am I gonna do with myself when I no longer have to take care of you¡± a slight tear running down her cheek Hiro turned around wiped the tear off looked her in the eyes and although he couldn¡¯t talk his actions were telling her ¡° even when I can take care of myself I¡¯ll still need you, you¡¯re my mother you gave me life you gave me warmth when I was cold, you feed me when I cried you took care of me I still need you¡± seeing that deep look in her sons eyes and the feeling she got she knew he would always need herThis novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. ¡°OK you can go outside now and join the others thank you my lil man¡± kissing his cheek and putting him down Hiro couldn¡¯t help but wipe off his cheek an give a little scowl haha seeing his actions Hisae couldn¡¯t help but laugh loudly ¡°exactly like your father indeed¡± Hiro slowly crawled outside seeing snow laying there an his brother and sisters watching lil Tira drinking milk a bright smile appeared on his face mmmm he crawled up to snow laid beside Tira an started drinking the milk ¡°hahahaha look at Hiro haha still a lil baby drinking milk¡± snow was calm an let the two to suckle. ¡°Haha little brother when you are able to walk I don¡¯t have think mother will let you keep drinking milk like a baby¡± everyone chuckled Hira picked up Tira then went into the village to show off to all the other kids her soon to be mount. Hiroki and Hino went out to do some chores while Hiro still drunk his milk. Tira was poked and prodded till it was raw he kept trying to get away but Hira had a vice like grip an wanted to show off some more, as they went on throughout the day he eventually gave up an decided to play with the other kids, he would crawl on the ground an pounce like a tiger the kids were having a good old laugh ¡°Hira time to come home for lunch¡± a voice sounded out in the distance ¡°well guys I gotta go have lunch I¡¯ll see everyone later on¡± yeah shouts were heard see you then. Hiro after finishing his milk would sit there with his eyes closed and cross legged from others perspective he looked like a statue but from snows perspective she could see what others couldn¡¯t see, nature and the elements gathered around the boy like a leaf on the wind as they circled around him, she felt at peace and closed her eyes to bask in the ambience, lil claw and Bigfoot came out of the pen and closed their eyes as well. The mounts felt at peace whenever the boy was around and they knew he was special, Hiro had a pure soul, a soul so pure that the most wildest of beast would feel at peace, all the powerful beasts on this land had spiritual awareness and seeing Hiro they were like a moth to a flame he was so radiant so pure that they couldn¡¯t help but be in awe. As the elements calmed down he finally let out a breath he looked over at the mounts still at peace an smiled, he crawled his way inside and laid on his favourite spot in the house lil claws mother slowly closing his eyes. Hisae finished cleaning up the rest of the dishes then went to her chores, she went outside to check on the hide, the hide was the size of horse and the same colour as Tira looking at it one would know that it use to be the mother of the cub. She looked over at Hiro suckling on the milk like a newborn and couldn¡¯t help but smile she did the washing swept the floors and prepared lunch for the family. She went out the front to call for her children that lunch was ready and made her way around back she saw snow lil claw and Bigfoot laying there eyes closed and at peace weird she thought for a second what are they doing looking so content ¡°oh well the minds of beasts are different I guess, now where did Hiro go¡± she already knew where he was at his favourite spot in the house, ¡°even when he was a newborn after drinking my milk he would make grabbing motions towards the hide and as soon as he laid on it he would fall asleep. Never Ceases to amaze me rain hail or shine after finishing his milk he would lay upon the hide¡± Hiro woke up when he felt his mother coming closer he knew that it meant lunch was ready, he slowly stretched out rubbed his belly then held his arms out as his mother scooped him up ¡°how do you always know when food is ready even your father would need a few dongs on the head to wake him up¡± Hiro made a little shrug ¡°oh well let¡¯s go wake the big oaf up¡± whack whack whack sounds were heard throughout the house ¡°wake up lunch is ready have a wash and come out¡± Hira walked in with Tira in hand, Hino walked in slightly flushed followed by Hiroki. Hiroshi having cleaned up sat down rubbed his head where 3 bumps were seen ¡°you didn¡¯t have to hit me that hard dear¡± ¡°of course I did do you know how long it usually takes without me whacking you it takes a long time believe you me¡± The family ate and made small talk talking about what they did today Hiroki went out with his friends to patrol around the inside of the village checking the walls for holes and if they found any they would patch them up, they would help the local fisherman with their catch, help the old people with a few odd jobs and chase away small children bothering Mrs Ai¡¯s chickens. Hino with her flushed cheeks recalled her day when she left her house she saw the local bread makers son Hitachi, they went for a walk out along the lake they talked about their dreams what they plan on doing once they turn 16 and if they have their eyes on anyone one special, Hitachi looked Hino in her eyes an kissed her on the lips and quickly ran away, touching her lips she turned red as the setting sun and stared at Hitachi¡¯s retreating back she slowly made her way back home. Sitting at the table even now she couldn¡¯t help but touch her lips and sigh, looking at her face both parents looked at each other ¡°so our little Hino has met a special friend aye who could it be I wonder¡± everyone looked at her waiting for her reply ¡°Hitachi¡± was whispered ¡°who now¡± ¡°Hitachi¡± ¡°the bread makers son well ill be a kuma¡¯s uncle¡± Hino told them about his kiss ¡°haha my daughters first kiss how romantic and by the lake too that¡¯s where I first kissed your father¡± ¡°what do you mean you kissed me I kissed you remember¡± ¡°no you didn¡¯t dear I kissed remember you were to shy back then I had to make the first move and I still do to this day¡± ¡°uhhh well I¡¯m a hunter I was born a hunter and I¡¯ll die a hunter¡± ¡°what¡¯s that got to do with this I know you don¡¯t want the kids to know you¡¯re shy but it¡¯s nothing to be ashamed of¡± ¡°pah who¡¯s ashamed, who¡¯s ashamed see kids this is how you kiss a woman¡± a big wet kiss was planted on her lips ¡°ewww no more dad that¡¯s enough of that I don¡¯t want to see anymore the kids screamed out¡± the family ate their dinner cleaned the dishes then went to sleep Hiro laid there looking at the roof ¡°this family warmth is so good i hope it never ends¡±. Hiro slowly drifted off to sleep ¨C little did he know that it would all change on the eve of Hira¡¯s coming of age ceremony Chapter 3 Hiro The last thing I remember before waking up here is laying on my death bed dying of old age praying that the next life I have will be filled with joy and a family. I have never had a family before when I was born the nuns said they found me on there doorstep with the umbilical cord still attached no card no basket or blanket just a naked baby crying on the ground, they scooped me up feed me gave me clothes to wear a roof over my head. The first few years at the orphanage the nuns couldn¡¯t control me for some reason I thought my problems were all their fault, I was fighting stealing use to pick on the pets around town you name it I did it a bad egg they would call me. On my 10 birthday which was the day they found me I ran away from there and ended up on the streets. I was barely surviving but survive I did, I was a fighter a pretty good one too even though I was malnourished I still knocked a few guys out before they took me down. Stealing became an art form for me as well when I first started out I use to get caught all the time but as a grew older it be became easier, I could walk behind a fat cat an steal right out of their pockets without them noticing. On one particular day I saw this old man walking down the street an easy mark I thought so I followed him, as I watched him I started noticing the smaller things he fed ducks, barely ate anything helped old ladies across the road like a boy scout and gave lollies to the small children, where were you when you I needed bread where were you when I needed lollies ¡°where were you¡± I hated the old man and seeing his actions I wanted to kill him. I followed the old man onto the toilet block I had the knife in hand ready to stab him I crept up behind him but when I went to plunge to knife into his back he disappeared, rubbing my eyes I couldn¡¯t believe what just happened I looked around trying to find a trace of him but I couldn¡¯t Till I felt a tap on my shoulder, ¡°why hello young man an how are you today, ohhh is that a knife in your hand what do you plan on doing with that thing¡± an eerily voice sounded in my ear, as I turned around I saw the old man but he looked different for some reason I turned pale from fright, he no longer looked old and decrepit he was a lot taller now his hair no longer dishellved and had a look in his eyes like a wild beat about to eat his pray. I dropped the knife in my hand an fell backwards ¡°well see here young man if you wanted to kill me you should learn to cover up your blood lust I could feel it from the moment you started following me, such a nice colour soul you have so much rage so much anger at the world a bright red soul like fire never doused when waters thrown on it always moves with the wind never yielding I like that kind of soul how about this if you can cut me ill let you follow me, I¡¯ll give you a roof over your head food on the table and a bed to sleep in¡±Stolen novel; please report. Hiro picked himself up off the ground with the knife in hand he hacked and slashed at the old man never really hitting him as he tried to catch his breath an idea came to mind he feigned that he was going to slash him when the old man moved he threw the blade at him slicing his cheek seeing the old man¡¯s shocked expression he took advantage tackled him to the ground and started hitting him till his hands were bloody after feeling to tired to even lift up his hands and a smug look on his face he looked at the old man whose face had an evil grin, the old man didn¡¯t have a mark on him Hiro looked at his hands and noticed that it was his own blood and broken bones then he passed out. When he woke up he was in a little room and his hands were miraculously healed he tried to get his bearing but he was still a little weak the old man walked an and said there was food on the table he when you¡¯re ready, he got up went to the table and ate he had a million questions running through his end but didn¡¯t end up asking them so he kept quiet. He ate his food while looking at the old man who sat opposite him who looked like he was meditating. Once Hiro was done knife still in hand he threw it at the old man, not opening his eyes the old man caught it between 2 fingers twirled it around a couple times then threw it back to Hiro. As the blade soar past his head he turned to watch the blade where he saw a fly get sliced in two. The old man had a smug grin on his face, Hiro fed up with the old man¡¯s smugness got up an turned to leave, the old man looked at him ¡°where are you going¡± Hiro turned to him an said ¡°I¡¯m going back I don¡¯t like the look on your face when you think you¡¯re all that you old fool¡± ¡°going back, back to where you have no home there remember I saw you, were living on the streets, no one wants a kid like you give it up stay here this is your home now remember you managed to cut my cheek¡± Hiro looked at the old man then his hands ¡°I don¡¯t like lies old fool, I may have cut your face but before I passed out I saw my hands they were destroyed an yet when I saw you face it was fine seeyah¡± ¡°tsk tsk tsk the youths of today I¡¯ll turn you into a real fine man hahahaha¡± Hiro made his way outside what he saw he has never seen this sort of view before he was up high on the highest mountain peak he was so high that he could see clouds beneath his feet, there were birds that only could be described in legends, he looked behind him the house he walked out of was carved into the mountain peak in his entire life Hiro would never have dreamt that he could see this sort of view, he looked at into the distance thinking to himself this could be home. The old man stood beside Hiro not saying anything they both stood side by side and looked out into the distance watching the clouds beneath their feet like the waves in the ocean, the birds flew high above them, there was a lake in the distance that looked like the gods had placed it there the fish inside were the size of whales this place was a paradise, nothing was said between the two as they stood in silence. Chapter 4 Hiro learns to run Chapter 4 Hiro learns to run Having been born 1 year today Hiro is surrounded by his family and friends. The neighbourhood kids took a shinning to him and took him under their wing. They taught him how to throw a rock kick a cow the stuff kids in the village did for fun. Because he could walk on is own his father taught him how to skin an animal, how to use a bow and swordsmanship, his mother taught him how to cook clean and do the laundry, his brother and sisters became his sparring partners the first couple of spars they went easy on him but they soon had to try real hard to evade him otherwise they would get hit. Tira was a little bigger now about the size of a calf he and Hira were always getting up to mischief around the village, Hiroshi was always catching them an giving a whack on the head. Hiro was also aloud to roam the village when he had nothing else to do, his new favourite spot now was down by the lake he would sit there for hours basking in the ambience. Every now and then the rest of the family would also join him when they asked why he always did it he replied ¡°it just feels right like I am one with the world and it feels like I can reach for the heavens¡± They loved their little Hiro they would spoil him with kisses and hugs. For his birthday his family bought him a blade and light armour, the village pitched in a gave Hiro a little baby horse. She was pure black like the night had attitude and white eyes. She was a little dangerous so his parents were afraid of giving her to him but he convinced them that he could tame her. The next day Hiro went out to the yard and saw her she was so majestic that he stood there for a few minutes just admiring her. When he went up to her she took off in the other direction, he went to grab some fruit and get her to come but she didn¡¯t budge, he sat there with his eyes closed the fruit in his hand facing up he started meditating, she looked at him for a second then walked up to him calmly, she took a bite of fruit and licked his hand, he had a faint smile on his face but didn¡¯t stop meditating. When he opened his eyes she was curled up in front of him like a black beauty Hiro whispered in her ear your name shall be ¡°BLACK BEAUTY¡± she let out a content whiney. From that day on the two would be inseparable. One day Hiro and black Beauty were walking side by side in the forest when they heard a noise, these two would always be exploring finding small game to hunt, she would sneak up on the prey and spook them he would shoot them with the bow they we the perfect team. On this day they followed the noise he slowly crept up bow in hand ready to shoot what ever was behind the Bush, he slowly parted the tree, on the other side of the Bush was a storm wolf eating it¡¯s prey Hiro was shocked slowly walked backwards pulling beauty along he tried to be as quiet as a mouse. The two were 500metres away when he stepped on a stick, the wolf heard the noise jumped over the Bush and ran after the pair. Hiro was running as hard as he can, Beauty had speed she could of took off but she didn¡¯t want to leave her friend behind. Hiro was panting and panting sweat dripping down his face ¡°go beauty run leave me behind get help I¡¯ll be fine¡± She looked at him for a split second hmphed at him and ran beside him. Hiro¡¯s legs felt like lead ready to tip over any second, after running a little bit more he finally fell over and hit the ground knocking him out. Beauty picked him up threw him over onto her back and continued to run the wolf was closing in closer n closer within 50 metres he gained consciousness found out he was on beauty¡¯s back and didn¡¯t like it ¡°beauty you¡¯re too young and not strong enough to support me yet you should of left me behind at least you would get away¡± She looked at him deep In his eyes neighed an the pair ran off together. As they were making there way Hiro told her to not go back to the village he couldn¡¯t risk it so they had to go somewhere else, he led the wolf to a cliff he knew had a steep drop an he knew if he could lure it there he could kill. The edge was coming up an the wolf was right behind ready the take a chunk out, as it leaped at them Hiro rammed beauty¡¯s head into the ground causing them to slide over the edge, the wolf went flying over the edge it let out a scared howl as it continued to fall. As the two slid over Hiro had beauty around the neck and summoned the last of his strength to grab a hold of the cliff face. He managed to pull both of them up and passed out. When he finally managed to wake up the moon was high in the sky Beauty was up keeping watch, when she saw movement she ran up to Hiro an licked his face. Both of them were tired an bloody but still alive Hiro thought to himselfIf you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. ¡°it¡¯s pretty late if I go home now I¡¯ll be in a lot of trouble but if I bring the storm wolf back with me my parents might take it easy on me¡± Hiro looked over the cliff he remembered that just a little further up there¡¯s a slope which goes all the way to the bottom. As he and beauty reached the wolf their were signs of movement, the wolf had broken all 4 legs a massive gash on its belly but still ravenous and snarling at the pair. Hiro looked the wolf dead in the eyes both howling at each other he pulled the blade out from his waist and plunged it into the neck, the wolf whined and whined dyeing with anger in its eyes. Hiro cut open the chest pulled the heart out ¡°the old man use to say that if I was ever in the wild and I came across a life an death situation and that when I kill It should take the heart an eat it to gain its strength an wisdom I remember how the old man use to tell me his old stories about him killing a dragon and eating it¡¯s hearts and that he gained immortality I thought that true for many years till I saw him lay on his death bed. The good old days Hiro treasured his memories he had of the old man..¡± Hiro clutched the heart in his hand and took a bite, it was warm and bloody he threw up a few times, what he threw up he would pick it off the ground and eat it remembering those times living on the streets with no food changed his mentality about wasting food if not for the old man he wouldn¡¯t of survived for long. He eventually offered beauty some as well she was hesitant at first but after some persuading she eventually began to eat. The two of them were both enjoying the heart, seeing the corpse he thought back to the old stories that if you bathe in the blood of a dragon you would be invincible, even though it was no dragon he thought same principle. He stripped naked grabbed handfuls of blood an pour it on themselves, beauty was not loving it at all she would knock him back with her head but he would still pour blood on her, both of them were dyed red there was still a bit of blood so Hiro started drinking it he looked at Beauty she looked back at him and tried to run off, he quickly grabbed her around the neck threw her on the ground and forced the blood down, she was not happy at all she was kicking an neighing all over the place, the sounds eventually died down both woozy from the blood they slowly made there way back to the village. At the entrance of the village Hiro¡¯s family were irate and worried sick they have been standing out here for half the night, Hiroshi was out with lil claw looking for him on the outskirts, Hisae was standing there she saw something out the corner of her eye as she looked up she turned pale with fright ¡°my poor baby has died and returned as a ghost ohhh no waaaaaaaa¡± She was very upset and passed out from grief. His siblings on the other hand were more cautious they called out to him. Hiro didn¡¯t make a sound he slowly walked closer and closer before reaching the village he passed out before he could say anything. Hiroshi heard Hisae¡¯s cries and made his way back to the village, when he reached the village, he saw a shocking scene Hisae was on the ground passed out tears coming out her eyes, his daughters were comforting her, Hiroki was standing in front of a corpse. He had tears in his eyes thinking that his youngest son was dead, he slowly made his way dreading each step. As he reached his sons he saw Hiro on the ground with beauty on his back by the looks of it looked like she was injured and he must of carried her for who knows how long. He also saw a corpse of a storm wolf behind him, his son must of ran into the wolf when he was out they must of battled where he eventually killed it and he dragged it from the battle field. Hiroshi should be celebrating that his son had killed his first beast but he thought that his son had died and only managed to drag it back before succumbing to his injuries, he dropped to his knees screamed to the heavens slammed his fists to the ground again and again, Hiroki finally slapped his dad on the shoulders screamed that Hiro was fine and that he was only sleeping tears of joy ran down Hiroshi¡¯s cheeks he picked up Hiro and Beauty and put them on lil claw softly he grabbed the wolf and threw it over his shoulder he told Hiroki to carry his mother, the family made there way back home tears of joy and laughter rang throughout the village ¡°only turned 1 a couple weeks ago and has already killed a storm wolf my son is a great man and a even a greater hunter better than this old fool¡± The family went to sleep snores of exhaustion ran through the house. Chapter 5 Hiro part 2 Hiro was sitting in his favourite spot on the mountain peak, he had a clear view of the lake the clouds and sun, the fish would be jumping out of the water he loved this spot he would sit here all day long when the old man was gone. He had been living here with the old for a few weeks now they weren¡¯t on speaking terms as of yet but Hiro didn¡¯t care. Every now an then the old man would disappear for a couple days, Hiro didn¡¯t know that every time the old man would leave somebody would die. Hiro had long since explored his new surroundings, although he could see all around him and everything didn¡¯t look to far it took him 2 days to walk around the whole peak, he looked over the edge of the peak but all he could see were clouds. The wild beasts here were massive Hiro was a little startled when he encountered his first beast, a giant scaled eagle was perched up on a tree , he only noticed it when the scaled eagle tilted it¡¯s head in Hiro¡¯s direction, his heart was racing his throat was dry but he never took his eyes off the scaled eagle, the scaled eagle sitting there looking this intruder up and down after a few takes of Hiro the scaled eagle completely ignored Hiro. Hiro felt relief at first but then looked at how his hands were trembling he clenched them into fist blood seeping out promising that he would never feel like this ever again. When Hiro returned to the house the old man was standing outside like he was waiting for him to return the old man asked a question ¡°would you like to learn to control your anger, earn money for your future and become an assassin¡± Hiro was startled for a second looked the old man up and down and asked him ¡°you really an assassin you don¡¯t look like one I mean look at you aren¡¯t you too old to be one¡± ¡°hahaha looks can be deceiving my young friend, look at me in my natural state I may look old and decrepit but when I get serious things can change, don¡¯t you remember when you were trying to cut me how I changed in a second, well I can teach you how to do that as well¡± Hiro stood there pondering for a second, remembering when he first encountered the old man an how angry he was an then he remembered the scaled eagle he encountered an how helpless he felt Hiro was contemplating he gave a slight nod, the old man had a big grin on his face. The old man had Hiro swim laps in the lake, when he finished that he would have him hold a heavy rock sink to the bottom and walk around the lake, when he finished that he would run around the mountain peak, for the first couple of weeks he was too tired to complete each task without passing out, but as he went on his stamina increased his muscles grew and he passed out less and less. The old man thought that the repetition of these tasks would force Hiro to quit but Hiro stuck through it all and never gave up. One day while he was completing his tasks he asked the old man why he always meditates, his reply was thatYou could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. ¡°when I meditate I feel everything around me every slight movement of the wind every sound, the slightest touch of the suns rays full me with vigour, I meditate to get in the zone, to feel everything is to feel nothing at all, plus it helps with the jobs I do, no one can sneak up on me when I¡¯m going in for the kill, it helps me to know when to advance and when to retreat in due time you will know what I¡¯m talking about¡± Hiro thinking for a second decided to add meditating to his training, he would complete all his tasks in the morning, hand to hand combat in the afternoon and then meditate in the evening as the sun went down. Seeing his progress the old man couldn¡¯t help but smile, when the old man went away to do his missions Hiro would go out and learn to hunt like the beasts on the peak, he never wanted to feel that feeling again when he encountered the scaled eagle. He would be swinging from tree to tree like a monkey, prowling on the ground like a tiger had the speed of a cheetah and the cunning of a fox. One day he was walking through the forest when he saw the scaled eagle, no longer afraid of it they would attack other non stop, neither side willing to give up until they were both bloody and bruised that¡¯s when they would stop, after a few weeks of sparing the scaled eagle grew to like his company and so did the later. When they finally got to know each other a lot better the scaled eagle allowed Hiro to pat it¡¯s scales and eventually feed it. The pair would be roaming together hunting for prey one in the air the other on foot, Hiro eventually noticed that no matter how much they hunted it felt like the beasts numbers never died down. He eventually made his way back, the old man was once again standing there waiting he looked at Hiro up an down for any sign of injuries ¡°I¡¯m surprised, you were gone for a few weeks I thought you might of died¡± ¡°hahaha if I died I would be haunting you right now old man, you gotta give me credit I¡¯ve been training here for a few years now of course I¡¯d survive¡± The pair were chatting to each other when they heard a loud roar coming towards them from the air, the old man had a scared expression whereas Hiro had a calm one, the old man got in his fighting stance ready to strike, as the scaled eagle swooped down seeing the old man it had a smile as it got closer to the pair it suddenly stopped in mid-air causing the old man to be blown back ¡°hahaha old man look at the state of you getting blown back by a little breeze hahaha¡± The old man was shocked as he watched the scaled eagle slowly float down towards Hiro, Hiro looked at the old man on the ground look back at the scaled eagle then laughed. ¡°old man this is my training partner, I haven¡¯t given it a name yet so I just call it greeny¡± The old man was shocked in all his years living here the scaled eagle never once approached him or allowed the latter to approach it, the old man was truly shocked he dusted him self off went up to try and touch it when it suddenly squawked loudly causing him to cover his ears ¡°I guess old man all you can do is look but not touch haha how do u like it aye¡± The old man stared at the two schook his head then went inside. Hiro and greeny went to Hiros favourite spot by the lake closed their eyes and meditated. Chapter 6 Hira and Tira go on an adventure A couple weeks after Hiro returned his mother would not allow him out of her sight so him and black Beauty were stuck at home training and meditating together. Hiro was a great hunter throughout the village he tried to wear the storm wolf pelt as armour but it was way to big so he ended up throwing it over black beauty, at first she kept throwing it off her but when Hiro whispered in her ear that the villagers would worship her like a God she puffed her chest out and walked with grace the villagers would hand her fruit and vegetables. Hira was happy that Hiro was back and that he was all right but Seeing black beauty walking around like she owned the place Hira thought she had to knock her down a peg so she grabbed Tira and they decided to go out on an adventure. Her and Tira were exploring when she heard rustling up ahead, she slowly drew her sword out ready for what ever it was, as she got closer ready to strike she lashed out but hit nothing air, it was so only the wind brushing through the trees. She put her sword back in her waist and continued on her way, she was getting a little peckish so she had a break, she pulled out some meat for Tira and fruit for herself as they ate she didn¡¯t notice that their were a pair of eyes watching her, they both finished their meal grabbed a drink from the stream an set off again. ¡°Tira how come we haven¡¯t seen anything yet I¡¯m getting bored, how did Hiro do this he¡¯s not even 2 yet and he¡¯s already hunted a storm wolf, I wish something would happen¡± As she said this she didn¡¯t hear anything sneak up behind her, Tira was on alert way before Hira reacted he launched himself between Hira and the beast and lashed out causing the beast to hit the ground hard, Hira quickly regathered herself withdrew her blade and sliced the beast that attacked her, after a few attacks back and forth she finally got the upper hand and plunged the blade into the heart of the beast. ¡°phew that was tough¡± as she falls on the ground ¡°good thing you were Tira otherwise I¡¯d be a goner right now¡± Tira puffed his chest out strutted over to the corpse tore open its chest and ripped it¡¯s heart out and ate it ¡°ummm I wonder what kind of beast it is¡± as she finally calmed down she walked over to the beast ¡°mmmhh looks like a flying beast of some type never seen one before wonder what could it be¡± after investigating it for a bit she shrugged her shoulders threw the beast over Tira an continued on, as they were walking Tira stopped smelt the air look at Hira and then he went towards a massive tree that blacked the sun from entering, he looked up at the highest branch and let out a little roar ¡°is there something up there, I wonder what it could be, alright you stay down here I¡¯ll climb up and take a look, hey don¡¯t eat it while I¡¯m gone OK I¡¯ll be back soon¡± She slowly made her way up till she reached the branch, she spotted a nest slowly walked closer with her blade in hand ready for what ever was in there, after reaching the nest and nothing attacking her she put her blade back climbed into the nest and found some eggs, she put the 12 eggs inside her robe had a look to see if there was anything else in the nest then slowly made her way down. Both of them made their way back to the village ¡°well Tira we had a good adventure today we didn¡¯t get a storm wolf like Hiro did but this bird beast will have to do for now, I wonder if father knows what it is¡±The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. They finally entered the village black beauty was still prancing around like she owned the place, Hira took no notice of her ¡®hmphed¡¯ then went to find her father after finding him she showed him the eggs she found and the beast after looking at it a couple of times Hiroshi finally answered ¡°this looks like a silver winged eagle I¡¯m surprised you managed to kill it and come out unscathed, mmmm I see now she must of just giving birth causing her to be a little weak haha well my daughter is another fine hunter, of you let the eggs hatch you¡¯ll have silver winged eagles for companions an they¡¯ll come in handy for air support or you can eat them an gain some benefits like enhanced vision and hearing also they taste pretty good¡± Hira was listening to her father¡¯s words puffed out her chest and said ¡°of course I am a great hunter it¡¯s no storm wolf but Tira would look good with its pelt draped over him, the eggs I¡¯ll give 1 to Hiro 1 to Hiroki an 1 to Hino they can be great friends for them and if you an mother don¡¯t want one then I guess I¡¯ll keep 2 and we¡¯ll eat the rest for dinner ¡± Hiroshi laughed grabbed the eggs your mother will make these into a nice feed tonight, as everyone sat down an ate their food Hira pulled other the eggs and told everyone to pick one Hiroki picked the biggest one Hino picked one that was slightly pink and after looking at the rest Hiro pick one that was the smallest one and slightly green ¡°this reminds me of greeny a little bit I wonder how he¡¯s going¡± Hiro remembering his past a little shed a tear, the family looked at Hiro asked if he was alright ¡° I¡¯m fine I¡¯m just so happy thank you for the gift Hira ¡± Hira laughed so did everyone else, the dishes were washed and the table was clear and everyone went to bed Hisae and Hiroshi were in bed talking about how great their kids were, Hira was in bed with the silver tipped wing eagles hide sleeping with a content smile, Hiroshi was doing some exercises to help him sleep, Hino was laying there thinking about Hitachi and as for Hiro he wasn¡¯t in his room he snuck out to his favourite spot near the lake black beauty by his side and the egg in his hand meditating, the moonlight shown on his silhouette everything around him was calm gold specks of light were gathering around Hiro and the egg basking each other, black beauty was happy laying beside Hiro, the night continued on with Hiro gathering the gold specks and the egg absorbing them, he was so entranced that when he opened his eyes the sun was rising he lightly stretched looked at his hand and saw slight movement ¡°mmmm after meditating all night it seems the little one is about to be born, did me meditating help it be born quicker¡± After some contemplating Hiro decided it would be a good thing ¡° the smallest one out of all of them an the first one to be born how lucky am I ¡± he couldn¡¯t Contain his excitement, the shell starting getting little cracks which grew bigger and bigger there was a golden light seeping out of the cracks mixed with green and silver ¡°come on little guy you can do it¡± as the last of the shell broke apart with a final flash of golden light there was a little roar and the little silver winged eagle was born ¡°hahaha hi little one I¡¯m Hiro we¡¯re gonna be buddies from now on¡± the little eagle looked up at him with intelligence in its eyes burning his figure into its memory ¡°squuakk¡± the little bird nodded up an down slowly closing its eyes, Hiro looked at his new friend, the little one was a deep green, had silver wings like it¡¯s mother with a gold crown on its head ¡°little one I¡¯m gonna call you lil greeny, like your namesake I hope you¡¯ll be big and powerful like him¡± Hiro felt very happy he got up and made his way back home, he went past each of the rooms had a sneak peek at his family he couldn¡¯t help but feel happy inside he went to his room laid down closing his eyes. Chapter 7 silver winged eagles After Hiro returned home and went to sleep the family woke up, Hisae got up an prepared breakfast, Hiroshi Hiroki and Hino went to do some morning exercises and Hira went to check on the mounts ¡°morning guys how are you I¡¯m here to let you out of here haha¡± ¡°roarrr¡± ¡°hahaha go on get out of here there¡¯s some food for you over there, theirs plenty for everyone so I don¡¯t won¡¯t to hear no trouble¡± She made her way back inside to see if her mother needed a hand ¡°it¡¯s alright Hino I¡¯m fine go check on Hiro i don¡¯t think he¡¯s up yet¡± ¡°OK I¡¯ll see if he¡¯s awake¡± She made her way into the bedroom jumped on top of him ¡°wake up wake up lil Hiro breakfast is ready, I¡¯m here to get you wake up¡± *whack whack whack* ¡°I¡¯m up I¡¯m up, thanks for waking me up hira¡± There was some rustling under the blankets ¡°hmm what¡¯s that¡± Being a little curious Hira picked up the blanket and peeked under ¡°wow your egg has already hatched how did you get it to hatch so quickly lil hiro¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know maybe it was a little special¡± ¡°what do you mean special they all came from the same mother, yours was the tiniest out of all of them now it¡¯s the first to be born¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± ¡°fine if you don¡¯t want tell me your secret then don¡¯t have you big meany¡± ¡°come on Hira don¡¯t be mad at me I really don¡¯t know how it was born so fast believe me if I knew I would tell you¡± ¡°OK Hiro i believe you, what¡¯s it¡¯s name¡± ¡°I called him lil greeny¡± ¡°hey lil greeny I¡¯m Hira, nice to meet you¡± The two were playing with lil greeny so long that they forgot that it was breakfast ¡°hurry up the food is on the table¡± They made there way to the table Hira had lil greeny in handThe tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°hey look at lil greeny everyone¡± Hira shouted ¡°ohhh wow look at him, look at those silver feathers so shiny, look at the little gold crown I¡¯ve never seen one with that on its head before, hmm he must be special just like my son¡± Hiroshi said All the touching and prodding caused the lil one to squawk at them then nestle into Hiro¡¯s neck ¡°that¡¯s enough guys look you scared the little one¡± Everyone ate their breakfast, Hiro would be feeding lil greeny some of his chewed up food the lil one was content, everyone talked about what they were gonna, everyone finished eating cleaned the table and went about their day, Hira was checking on her egg she was trying to get hers to hatch as well but had no luck, Hiroki gave his egg to Bigfoot to see if his fur would help, Hino gave hers to snow to look after. Hiro was down by the lake watching the kids swimming, before Hiro was born children would drown from drowning , some of the adults as well, when he learnt to walk and made his way to the lake his saw the children and some adults sticking to the shore, after he found out why they wouldn¡¯t go in further he taught them a technique to help them, after a couple of months of swimming lessons no more people died and the villages celebrated by throwing Hiro a thank you party. After a few days went by the other eggs started hatching Hira called hers Silva, Hiroki called his Big Wing and Hino called hers Jade. They were all males but none of them were as shiny as Hiro¡¯s or had a crown on their head, everyone gathered together and they pleaded with Hiro to help out their new companions, he showed them how he did it, they all sat around in a circle and started meditating, golden specks were gathering around everyone and being absorbed, they meditated so long that Hisae had to come get them, as they woke up they felt refreshed and energized ¡°no wonder lil greeny is so big so that¡¯s how Hiro does it he he he, Silva¡¯s gonna be bigger than all of them if I keep meditating¡± Everyone went inside had a wash and then had a feed, when everyone went to bed no one was sleeping everyone was meditating with their silver winged eagles on their laps, Hiroshi and Hisae didn¡¯t want to miss out so they tried meditating as well, after a few attempts they started to get the hang of it, from an outsiders perspective if they were looking at the village from the outside they would see golden specks gathering all around the village but most of them converged towards a specific house in the centre, the whole village benefited from this one night of meditation. A couple of days later the silver winged eagles were able to fly now, they were a bit bigger but none of them more than lil greeny, Hiro taught him how to hunt and gather food, he also taught him how to swim. When the pair first went out to hunt their first prey it started raining hard, lil greeny lost his mobility causing it to fall out of the sky and almost drown in a puddle, after that little event you could see Hiro by the lake throwing lil greeny into the water as he got back to shore he would throw him a little further into the middle till he got use to it, soon lil greeny was floating on top of the water going back and forth, the others were jealous of Hiro so they threw theirs in as well almost causing them to drown. Lil greeny ended up teaching the others how to swim, all 4 of them would be out on the lake floating, when they got hungry they would fly up into the sky and swoop down an catch a fish each, when their were big fish they would all swoop down and catch it, when they went out to hunt beasts they would tag team one would go for the eyes, one would go for its neck and one would go for its legs lil greeny would mostly be watching them like a leader praising their efforts in his own way, the village was happy when they would go out they would bring different kinds of beasts that they have never seen before some alive and some dead. The alive ones were turned into mounts for the kids and some were used to help around the village, whenever they went out the villagers would shout and point 4 sliver winged eagles flying in a V with lil greeny at the front. The patriarchs family were very lucky to have found them. Chapter 8 Hino gets married Hino was feeling slightly nervous ¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡¯s my wedding day I hope it goes well¡± ¡°of course it¡¯ll go well you¡¯re my daughter, when I marred your father I felt like you but when we were standing hand in hand the nervousness disappeared and was replaced with butterflies it was the happiest moment off my life other than giving birth to my children¡± Hino and Hisae were currently in her room getting ready for the wedding, Hiroki and Hira were outside doing the final preparations, ¡°no no no she needs more flowers¡± Hira was telling Hiroki ¡°but she already has plenty, why do we need more for¡± Hiroki complained ¡°because I¡¯m a girl I know what Hino wants so I say she needs more flowers¡± she had her arms cross looking smug ¡°fine fine you win well get more flowers¡± Hiroki was feeling defeated but when he saw Hira¡¯s radiant smile he couldn¡¯t help but laugh he picked Hira up put her on her shoulder and they went to get more flowers. Hiro was really into the wedding thing so he and his father were out hunting for food for the dinner ¡°lil greeny you go out and scout ahead come back when you find something¡± Lil greeny flew off into the distance, he was no longer in sight ¡°I can¡¯t wait until he¡¯s a few years older so I can fly in the sky with him¡± Hiro was longing to be in the sky, to feel the wind flowing through his hair again to be so high above the world like a God looking down at the world he missed the feeling of being on greeny¡¯s back, Hiroshi was up ahead trying to find a beast track, lil greeny flew back to Hiro got his attention then went off Hiroshi was following the trail of a were bear not to far away, as Hiro got closer he could hear rustling he checked his sword at his waist, pulled out his bow notched an arrow an got ready, lil greeny was waiting for his signal, he slowly crept up saw some deer and got ready to shoot ¡®whoosh¡¯ the arrow flew straight into a deer¡¯s head killing it instantly, lil greeny had flew down and broke the neck of another, so there they were one boy and his beast killing deer, after killing 9 deer all together he whistled out to black beauty to come, as he waited he recollected his arrows checked the surrounding area for more traces. A few minutes later black beauty appeared out from behind a bush with a carriage behind her, he threw the deer onto the back gave her a drink of water, lil greeny went off to give Hiroshi a hand ¡°mmmm it should be around here somewhere I can smell it¡± Hiroshi was getting closer to his target, he slowed his breathing walked much slower got his bow ready took aim and fired, ¡®whoosh¡¯ 3 arrows were let loose hitting the were-bear 2 times in the chest once in the head roar with a mighty roar it breathed it¡¯s last breath then died, Hiroshi got excited ¡°hahaha that¡¯ll do nicely for my daughters wedding the whole village will love it¡± As he was celebrating he heard lil greeny squawk as he turned his head to look at him something caught the corner of his eye he dodged out of the way pulled his sword out and thrust it in front of him ¡°how could I be so careless not noticing storm wolf tracks¡± What stood in front of him was a storm wolf the size of a horse, the two stood there staring at each other neither giving in, ¡®swoosh¡¯ lil greeny attacked the eyes forcing it to close it eyes, seeing his chance Hiroshi slashed at the neck, the beast moved out of the way and slashed at his chest causing a claw mark on it Hiroshi grabbed at his chest clenched his teeth he slashed at it again, the two were battling each other with lil greeny helping out every now an then, after a long battle both weary and bloody the storm wolf pounced on Hiroshi, with the last of his strength he lifted the sword up stabbing other straight through the heartThe narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°he he he he phew that was a long battle stupid storm wolf, what¡¯s Hisae gonna say now when she sees me bloody: Wiping the blood of his forehead he stabbed at the storm wolf one more time, he sat down on top of the were-bear catching his breath he didn¡¯t notice that their were a pair of eyes staring at him from behind ¡®whoosh whoosh whoosh¡¯ sounds went flying past his head he looked straight up and saw Hiro standing there with his bow in hand, he looked behind him an saw a storm wolf hit the ground ¡°haha father weren¡¯t you the one who taught me to always keep my eyes on the surrounding area when I hunt¡± ¡°phew Hiro you really saved my hide there, my lil hunter 2 and a half years old and already saving your old man¡¯s life, how could we get so lucky to have a son like you¡± ¡°haha come here lil greeny¡± Lil greeny flew down onto Hiro¡¯s arm, the pair threw the 2 storm wolves onto the carriage while Hiroshi carried the were-bear, they made there way back to the village, the village was loud as you could hear the noise from the outskirts, they went back to the house skinned the beasts and prepared the meat, on special occasions it was the men in the village who prepared and cooked the meat every other day the ladies cooked ¡°you look very beautiful Hino, Hitachi is gonna be a lucky man¡± ¡°thank you Hiro, I know he¡¯s a lucky man an I¡¯m a lucky woman for falling in love with him¡± she blushed ¡°come on now Hiro don¡¯t disturb us go see what your sister and brother are doing¡± ¡°OK but you do look beautiful Hino an so do you mother¡± ¡°hahaha get out now hiro¡± They both laughed, he made his way outside to see if he could help ¡°no Hiro I don¡¯t need your help me an Hiroki have it under control, go see if Hitachi needs a hand¡± Hiro made his way to Hitachi¡¯s house ¡°hey Hitachi you have anything I could help you with¡± ¡°hey Hiro if you want to help you can carry the bread to the centre of the village for me, theirs a few extra cakes for you as payment¡± ¡°OK thanks Hitachi I¡¯ll see you later on at the wedding¡± Hiro made his way to the centre of the village with the bread said hello to a few of his friends , handed out some of the spare cakes to them because he doesn¡¯t really eat sweet food, he jumped up on to the highest building that was there sat down and watched, he saw the kids running around, the oldies were telling stories to the children that would listen, the boys of age were working up their courage to ask the girls out with little success, he saw all this from his perch with lil greeny by his side, black beauty tried with all her might to come up as well but she was to big, she pouted then went to find snow and them ¡°the family I have now the friends I¡¯ve made I¡¯m glad to be here and I¡¯m glad I was reborn, if the old man could see me now I¡¯m sure he would be jealous of what I have¡± The whole village was gathered around in the centre, Hitachi and Hino were up front with Hisae and Hiroshi and his parents beside them, the old priest was joining them together. The whole village celebrated, this was the happiest time of Hino¡¯s life she loved Hitachi with all her heart. The celebrations continued throughout the night continuing through into the next day. Hiro was enjoying this as well he would never forget this feeling and this moment no matter what. Hino and Hitachi were in there marital home, Hitachi had built it with his own two hands. He would work on it from dusk till the moon was up. Hino would bring him food throughout the day. He built it with the trees from the outskirts. They were massive 20 metres tall and 3 men''s waists wide. He cut them with his bread knife, his bread knife was the length of his forearm with a curved blade, the cuts were clean and precise, one had to know that he has been using this blade since he was able to walk, he used it like an extension of his arm. Hiroshi and Hiroki offered to help build it as well but Hitachi declined "I have to build it with my own two hands to prove that I am worthy of your daughters hand in marriage, if I cannot even provide her a home how can she provide me a family, sorry but I need to do this myself" "Hahaha you''ll make a fine son in law, I''m proud that you are marrying my daughter" "You''ll make my sister a happy woman Hitachi" The pair were happy that Hino found a man worthy of her. Hino and Hitachi spent the night copulating their marriage. The rest of her family were at home laying in bed with smiles on their face. What they didn''t know was that this happiness wouldn''t last forever, a weeks ride away there was destruction and carnage. 1000 men were making there way towards the small village, wherever they went villages were ruined and lives taken, mothers and daughters were taken, fathers and sons killed they had no idea what was heading there way.
