Temple (DNF)

Chapter 1

The temple is a sacred place built by people to connect with the gods in the world. As a result the gods help them in war.

The realms of the planet were divided along with the appearance of the gods in 4 regions "The Land of Shadows", "Light Land", "Land of Nature" and "Fire Realm". Each having own gods to protect them, advise them and the most important to help them in war.
The war was simple between the 4 realms, but after a fierce dispute between two villages in the realm of nature they became 5. There is no big deal if you add another enemy, the problem was that they worshiped the same god, they had the same temple to go and pray.
Because of the destruction of peace, the heads of the villages (that of the mushrooms and flowers respectively) gave law that only leaders could visit the temple in order not to fight between themselves.
George was a boy of flowers that had been abandoned at a stable door when he was just a few days because his mother felt that something was wrong with him and he did not need a burden on his back. It was raised by the owner of the stable, an old and harsh man whom all called "Older". The world knew of George's existence, but they did not see him out, he suffered from a rare disease that prevents him from staying in the light and staying too much on his own feet. A burden as his mother had felt, a blessing for the Older who saw his former daughter in him who had died two days before George appeared at his door.
Despite Older's daily reproves, George wanted to be a mushroom's soldier, to help the villagers, fight for them. To be honest the boy had talent in using the bow. Older usually let him go out in the yard during the night although he did not convey the idea that he could collapse at any time.

It was late and George was still outside on a straw bale, eating an apple and watching the stars that filled the sky of light, the only light that did not hurt him.
"you are out for an hour already, I say it is enough, Come in the house, it is also night and you need to sleep "said the Older in the door worried.

" One hour? But I just get out. I stat a little bit more and wish nothing happens ... I will not explode if I stay here instead of the sofa in the house. In addition it is night and I will be fine."

" Another 5 minutes, do not make me come after you, "said the Older, and went into the house.

As soon as the Older left in the house, after the fence, noises were heard, the soldiers were returning from the training and of course they had to make big noise. George curious climbed on the fence to see better and then they see him.

"Why a lady like you doesnt sleep at this hour? Wait a bit. .. You're a boy. You seem big enough as it's the first time I see you" replicate a soldier climbing the fence to see him better. "Those passed by 17 have to help in war not to sit quiet and fearful in homes."

"I'm not afraid but my dad does not let me be a soldier ... He says it's too dangerous."

"Logically that it is dangerous for a small and fragile milk pope like you, I think if I breathe on you...you will fall and wont get up. If you are not a soldier at your age you should be ashamed to live." He races and left him under the cold air of the night.
All night he could not sleep thinking he was not good. These thoughts do not disappear when it was time to eat, had the pancakes in front of him 10 minutes and had just taken a small bite.

"Dad, it is true that the god of nature is real?" said George.

"I do not know where you want to beat this but yes. He is real."

"And it is true that it is strong and can do almost anything?"

"Yes it is." He saw on the Older's face that he does not understand where he wants to beat these questions.

" Can he help me? To be normal and live normal?"

"Oh ... George, the God is not after small problems like yours and we are not allowed to go to the temple, otherwise I would have been there already. But leave these questions and start eating because those pancakes will get cold.

" I'll go tonight to the temple."

" Don't even think about that!" Older is angry. "Do you think it's so easy? You won't be able to go a quarter of the road in your condition, plus I do not want you to be punished by the head of the village for violation of the law. Tonight you are going to sleep in your room or a maximum of 5 minutes out in the back yard if you get that stupid idea out of your mind"

"But I'm not a baby, I can go. I'll be prudent and no one will see me."

"In this case, you will not leave the room after these pancakes. And that's my final decision. He cleaned the table and locked him in the room to make sure he wont left the house at night.
The Older stayed in vain as a guard at the door of George's room. George desire to be normal was much stronger than the Older guarding skilla.
And so on a cold and foggy night, George jumped the window followed by the fence and walked on the hard path to find the temple. He took a lot of pauses, the road of an hour he made it in 4. It was already 3 in the morning and he was afraid of the sun that still didnt appeares. It ensures that there is no one and run inside, it was huge, a place made entirely of marble, but without a god ... at least one material.

"Hey, is anyone here? I came to talk to the god of nature." Nothing, total quiet, he tried again... Nothing. He had already begun to regret he left home without announcing and especially alone. He was again as in the first week of life, of no one. "Is there nobody here? I crossed the long way up here for talking to you God ... please answer me." And nothing again, his heart shrinks by the fear, realizing that there is no one there. He get dowm at the marble pillars as the legs losed strenght and started to stare around. The bright temple darkens more and more, his eyes...closed his eyes. , That's ... here he will die, and Older will suffer only because he did not want to listen. Already darkened although he was surroanded by torches, darkened with light? He opened his eyes and saw a mask that was shadowed, his possessor stood with his crossed hands
