THE LAST DESCENDANT

Chapter 5.

Chapter 5.

As one of the four dragon gods, Ao Kuang demands tributes from those who live on the eastern coasts and thanks to these payments, the tides are calm, the rivers are tamed and the rainfall is abundant for crops, however, it was not always like this.

Japan: I am Izanami, a very important goddess in the culture and mythology of Japan. I am the goddess of creation and also the goddess of death.

Her counterpart was her brother and also ex-husband Izanagi; and both were the first gods summoned into existence, being the first deities in charge of creating the first Earth, having received a spear decorated with precious jewels that was awarded to them with great honors.

The spear was called Ameno and these two gods were the union between heaven and Earth, legend has it that with the spear they beat the sea and created an island that would later become their home.

Korea: Miruk was a disciple of Gautama Buddha (483-368 BCE), who was outstanding both intellectually and spiritually. In answering the disciples' questions, Gautama prophesied that Miruk would die, but would return to the world to save it as the future Buddha.

Taiwan: The Jade Emperor is commonly seen as the highest deity, but is not the most popularly worshipped because people do not want to bother the powerful lord of Heaven with their petty problems and sorrows.

Mongolia: Erlik is the Turkic-Mongolian god of the dead and the underworld.

Erlik is depicted as a monster, with a pig's face and teeth and a human body; as an old man, with a well-formed body and very black eyes, eyebrows and whiskers; as a totemic bear; with a bull's head or riding a bull; with a buffalo's head; with a horned head surrounded by flames; or with two heads and four hands, a necklace of skulls, a skull scepter in the right hand and a sword in the left.

We all agree and we were waiting for you to train you with the best warriors of our  domains…

Wait, she says!!... ¿Did you know I was coming?

Izanami.- Girl, we were waiting for you, you were supposed to fall into your reality, but we had to train you and that is why we distorted everything so that you would enter the second heaven which is where you are with us at this moment… and listen carefully and learn, that a person is not a person for everything they already have, but for what they have not yet achieved.

You will have to train with the great warriors of our different territories and when you are ready you will return again to the second heaven with us to tell you where you have to go to continue with the rest of your training.

Zahyir.- ¿Training?,But I don't even like to exercise...

¿How do you think I'm going to train and how am I supposed to get to these warriors if we're floating on a cloud?

Miruk.- You'll soon find out, girl; now go to Baekdu Mountain, which is the border between China and Korea, and there king Chin Yang will train you; learn as much as you can from him.

Without further comment, they pushed me off the cloud, falling into the void and shouting that I didn't know how to fly.

In the distance, I heard voices whispering to me that I had to feel and believe that I was the wind and that way I would better master the fall.

Following that advice, I began to balance myself and I prepared to achieve it; and just when I was beginning to get the hang of being the wind, I was hit by a tremendous pain with the ground hitting my face. Holy crap, don't fuck with me!

When I lift my face I find a peaceful looking man who immediately began to tell me that the lords had already indicated that he would train me: it was king Chin Yang…

Zahyir.- ¿Are you serious? ¿Are you really king Chin Yang? No way dude…

Chin Yang.- Get up, you little idiot, put this Armor on and go find me at Lake Baeduk because we have to start training.

Zahyir.- But this Armor weighs more than me; ¿How the hell am I supposed to walk with it if I can't even carry it?

Chin Yang.- You'll have to find out about that…

At that moment I got a call from Doctor Henry and obviously I answered it to get more information about what this was all about.

Henry.- Dr. Zabramova…, ¿Where the hell are you hiding? You were supposed to fall a long time ago, tell me where you really are.

Zahyir.- I'm sorry Dr. Henry, but I'm in Korea.

Henry.- ¿What are you doing in Korea, you stubborn?… You must understand that there is no way of knowing if you will return; the good thing is that your battery is charged with solar energy.

Zahyir.- Dr. Henry, don't blame me… You know that I did not choose to come here, but since I am here, I will find out what my purpose is.

Henry.- You should not continue to fragment reality, brat; you do not know how strange it is to see your statues and sculptures all over the world, as if you were a Supermodel Nojodaaa!!!... I even had to say that you quit your job because you could not stand me anymore.

Zahyir.- You are a genius Dr. Henry, but I promise you nothing.

Henry.- ¿Who are you with now?

Zahyir.- With a warrior king in Korea; his name is Chin Yang.

Henry.- My signal is getting short and I can't see you Zahyir… Zahyir…

Zahyir.- ¿What the hell are you doing Chin Yang? ¿Who do you think you are to take my magic stone from me??

Chin Yang.- Come on girl and stop playing, don't fuck with me; if you want this flat and shiny stone you will have to take it from me first; and you will only get that if you manage to defeat me in a duel of Haedong Seong Guk, but if you don't, your stone will sleep at the bottom of Lake Baeduk.

Zahyir.- Don't you dare Chin Yang I told him furiously; I don't know a single movement of Haedong Seong Guk, but I promise to learn quickly… Please, don't throw my magic stone and if it rings and vibrates you will have to give it to me quickly.

Chin Yang- Deal Zahyir, now get changed and come quickly to train.

I decided to change in a nearby area because that armor was quite heavy.

The things I do for the love of life don't mess around; when I got to lake Baeduk, Chin Yang began to train me day and night having to run until I felt my legs failing, since even with rain and cold or heat, I had to keep training until I achieved perfection. 

So two intense weeks of training passed, until I got to the point of believing that I could take him down.

Chin Yang.- ¿Ready Zahyir? , Don't beg for mercy Chin Yang I told him all mutinous.
