Balancia (translated.English)

The Code

After a many 3 centuries, the short, young man, Polus exited his home wearing the most modern shoes of that time. Heading towards the cinema to watch a 3D film.

On the way to his destination (cinema), walking through the crowd and talking to himself "if only it wasn't packed..."

Suddenly he bumped into man, whose drink fell all over him because of the force of the collision.

The bulky man grabbed Polus by the shoulders and shouted in his face " Boy! That drink cost me a lot you know?!"

Polus' conclusion was, after observing the bulky man, he was a drunk. This made his hair all over him stand straight up out of disgust & because of the revolting smell that was coming from him.

Passers stood still as to watch the upcoming fight, which was unlikely to happen very often, so this made their day a bit less boring.

"Hold yourselves!" came a voice from the massive crowd. "Leave the young man alone."

The drunken turned towards the owner of the voice, grey big eyes and curly hair, his own eyes pointing straight towards this new man with fury, " And who do you think you are?!"

This new man responded with a grin " I am the prime ministers son, Michael Blacks son to be precise, and if you don't let that young fellow go this instant calmly, we shall take matters forth."

The drunken let go of Polus and went on with his lame, old life, while everyone else parted on with their own lives.

"You still get into trouble, Polus..." Mumbled this new stranger.

He dusted his t-shirt to remove the filthiness of the drunken man, while turning towards the stranger.

"Ken, please enlighten me, what are you doing here?!"

"I'm going to the cinema & what about you?"

"I don't mean that, Ken, Why are you in Balancia? Weren't you in the west?"

"I was bored so I booked a ticket back here yesterday."

"How about your parents, Ken?"

"Don't bring it up, they hardly know my whereabouts anyway."

"But what if you fall into trouble because of that?"

Ken ignored Polus' question and stated in a bored tone,

"Come on we are here."

>>>>>After the film finished>>>>>>>

"Hey, Ken, Do you want to come over? I've got the new DVD of The Series of The Seven Hero's."

"Yeh sure lets go"

They kept their conversation going until they reached Polus' house. While Polus was setting up their game, in came the pet weasel,

" & How are you my cocoa?" Ken said to the weasel while stroking him.

" Eh he's good alright, now which level do you want to play?"

Asked Polus testing him.

"You know I'll win any so I suggest you choose," Ken remarked cockily.

Not even five minutes later Polus was sitting there whining at Ken saying, " it was a practice level dude! You could've gone easy!"

" NEVER " was the humoress reply.

The on-going conversation was cut off by the sound of an old man singing while passing by,

"The morning follows the evening"

"Time is one all around"

"Held by the birds wings while flying"

"The light zooming through space"

"Like hitting the bell through the purity"

"To wake up the color of the phoenix"

Ken opened the window and shouted " Hey ! quiet, quiet ! You don't even have a fantastic voice, & anyway what are you singing its not even making any sense?"

" Young Boy, its isn't poetry which I am saying, indeed it is a code, a code which the new generation have forgotten about, & only the elder, clever ones know about it."

Polus shrugged his shoulders and said " he's making it up"

" I have not made it up you young blonde poet, rather it is a puzzle which can become into a barrier between life and death."

" And is the poor young boy even rescued? That's how all the stories in the past about 100 years ago used to end. If you keep up this story-making, you might end up in prison sooner and later. Come on Polus lets continue our game."

Ken said sternly.

After them closing the window, the old man stayed there for a few minutes while drawing patterns on the ground with his foot, "Maybe the time to return to this place has ended..."
