Hope has a warrior

When I reached the old head priest he began to address me climbing the flight of stairs which led to his chambers and I followed him. "Sunny son of Gray am not surprised at your show of courage and willingness to towards this tough mission and towards the cause of humanity for it is something I have known your father for and have seen in you since you were a kid. But this mission does not only demand courage and willingness there are other qualities lacking in you and which is also demanded in this mission.""What are they and I will try everything humanly possible to possess them?" I inquired."Sunny" he called smiling you are ready and it is visible but we both know that you are not a 'white monk' of pure blood and these are the most qualified people to embark on the holiest and most sacred missions. "But my father is a..."Son to a man who was exiled by his people for being a criminal and was adopted into this brotherhood and your father ran away even after getting married and ret

A horse galloped towards us and turned back only to see the head priest galloping towards us. I noticed that my perspective of him had changed though nothing physically in him changed. When he reached us he began to lead the procession towards the cave on his white horse as the everything maintained initial composure.Certain words of advices were thrown to me on how to overcome the numerous illusions and several other difficulties which I might encounter from the entrance to the last chamber where I will awake one of the strongest gargoyle of all. The stories they told me made me to generate ideas I how to go about the task before me. I didn't dare to look back because I feared that my eyes may meet the eyes of those I treasured. "if the mission is really what it an being told of why is it termed suicidal?" I asked my self but I knew where my answers lay. It was beyond the cave where none of these men alive had visited they only heard about what is within from the mouth of holy

I turned back now and I could only see darkness even with the torch which I held in my hands I could not see more than a few metres deeper into the cave maybe for this reason it is called the dark cave.I continued walking deeper into the cave unsure of how much longer I will continue before I seethe hall of gargoyles but I wasn't tired as I had vowed to see make sure my mission is accomplished.I continued walking into darkness for several more minutes without taking a break and without noticing any source of light around me.I stopped in my tracks. I was so sure I noticed the presence of someone else with me in the cave but as I stopped the feeling of someone near me disappeared I resumed my journey and again l began to feel the presence of this second entity. I thought that it was part of the illusion and decided to ignore it and go on my business but I was not satisfied and thus began to run believing that after have run for a few metres the illusion would stop but instead I hear

I began to feel very scared because it became impossible to predict his next move. I was still caught in this my web of confusion when I felt his dagger sink deep into my left hand and then tear me lightly at my right hand. And I decided to open myeyes and immediately I opened it, he kicked me in my chest and I fell with a great thud against the cave wall.When I recovered from this kick of his, I looked out for him and immediately saw him with the help of my dim torch which fell off my hand when I was cut dive at me to stab me and I rolled out immediately and he stabbed the place I lay before we then stood up at once and with the rage already weling up in me kicked out the dagger which he still held on his hand, stuck out the one he used to stab me but instead of attacking him with it I flung it away and motioned him to come as I got in the mood to tell him why I was named a fight freak at the village of the white priests.As I expected he rushed at me to attack me and it resulted to

Everything seemed blurry at firs then gradually it became clearer till I could see very clearly.I noticed I was lying down on a very comfortable mattress with my and my bruises had been treated and wrapped with bandages.I raised my head up slightly and noticed that most of my property was also there. I began to ruminate over the last things I could remember but could go no further than when I was flung against a huge tree branch by a big log of wood in oscillation.I lifted my arms and surprisingly I felt no pain. I hit my legs which were also wrapped and I felt no pain too was about to stand up when my mother came in."You are awake Sunny lie down and get some rest" she told me"Where are we? How did I gethere?" I asked with a very noticeable amount of surprise in my voice."Get well first and we have all the time in the world to discuss." She replied shoving my question aside but I really wanted answers immediately.I immediately stood up. "I am ok. Can't you see that" I asked bu
