LAHAN VILLAGE'S
TALE
The
flames die away and are replaced by a beautiful red-orange painting,
consisting of stylish strokes in random patterns.
The
painter, Fei, is dressed in gray baggy pants, sandals,
and a white shirt with blue edgings. He has his black hair in
a ponytail as well. He sets down the paintbrush and breathes
a sigh of relief.
"Whew! That about does it
" He stretches
and yawns. "Alright
Now time for a short break."
He steps away and walks to his bed. He lays on it only to find
his secret
stash of 200G. He pockets
it and decides to take a short nap. He awakens and crawls out.
He heads into the small hallway and heads west into a storage
room. He opens a barrel and takes out an Aquasol.
He chugs it down and wipes his mouth. "Ah that is always
refreshing." He is about to leave when he notices a
spider web
in the corner. "!"
He nabs it out of there but it sticks to his hand. He annoyingly
jams his hand into his pocket, shaking the webbing off. He walks
up the stairs on the opposite wall, waving hello to a maid in
the other room. He walks up into the main room of the house.
He sees a maid to the left in the kitchen and a group of people
to the right, consisting of: his best friend, Timothy,
his mentor and caretaker, Chief Lee,
and
He walks up to Timothy and he turns around at his approach.
"Yo! Hi there, Fei. Sorry for us all using your house
like this. But, we have to talk about the big day tomorrow with
the village chief."
Fei replies, "Yeah, tomorrow, huh
Your wedding
with Alice! Now that is a big day!"
His friend nods his head, "Yeah
right
But
it still hasn't hit me as reality though."
Fei turns away and looks down.
"Hey, errh, Timothy. I just want to thank both you and
Alice
3 years ago, I woke up in this
village without a trace of my memory
I didn't know who
I was, where I had been or what I had been doing up until that
day
I
couldn't recall a single thing
" He lowers his head in memory. "Despite
that, you and Alice sympathized with me and encouraged me to
go on. If the two of you hadn't been there for me, I don't know
what would have become of me
" He looks back happily.
"Timothy
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you! Wow, you and Alice had better live happily
ever after!"
Timothy laughs. "Hah! Quit it will ya! You don't have
to go and get all mushy on me
Anyway to me, it feels like
I've always been friends with you ever since we were kids."
He turns to Fei. "And we will go on begin friends forever, right?"
Fei grins. "Of course!" Timothy gets a concerned
look. "Oh yeah, Fei
Could you stop by and check
up on Alice? I still have stuff to discuss with my old man and
the village chief. But I'm sure she'll be glad to have some company."
Fei nods. "Yeah, sure! I'll do that
Anyway, I'll see
you later. Oh, and I am really looking forward to the ceremony tomorrow." |
