I Hope and pray that these days will be the last that I will ever encounter injustices, for I have long served our people as the platinum blade of justice. Once there was a time, I felt horrible empathy to all those who are suffering before the hands of our leaders of infinite greed and lust for power! "Will this ever end?!" was what always dominated my mind as a young man when I grew witnessing these pillaging of unfortunate people's homes who cannot pay their taxes. So I thought to myself, "If I don't speak up, no one will".

As I reached the age of 25, basically almost a decade has passed. Still our country was ruled by a wicked government! "Mother, we no longer have money to buy food for my little brothers and sisters" I cried to my mother. We were 7 children all in all, and I was honored by the mighty heavens to become the eldest among us. My mother then weeped "My Son, this cannot be, we cannot pay the taxes anymore." I was heavily disheartened with what I heard, my father then came home running catching his breath and said to us "My family, we must move now! Let us leave this place before they burn us alive here". I could not believe what I just heard, but it was real... As moments passed, the soldiers arrived and because we could not pay our taxes, they burned our home to dusts as me and family watched in agony outside. "This is what you get for not following the rules!" As one of the soldiers disgustingly muttered.

So my family were left there homeless, with no food to eat and no shelter to sleep in, with 4 little children who can barely even talk. Why must we suffer like this? Something must be done! I helped my family search for shelter among the corners of the village and thank the God above I was able to find an abandoned stable where me and my family can stay for the night. As the day have risen, I didn't waste any more time and made a movement, a movement for justice! Suffering shall end once and for all! I was able to talk our people into this movement! "There are more things that unite us than those that divide us, we are all brothers and sisters!" Alas, many supported the union, we are the iron hands of justice! And If I have to fight, then I can protect everything! Everything that my family and my people long deserved! And that is justice! But fighting was not the first thing in my mind, so as they say "Mercy is what separates justice from revenge" and I wouldn't want to end up walking the path of vengeance which is not what my family would have ever wished. But it is our voices! Even the slightest voice with an honest and sincere heart is already worth to create an army of a thousand ships sailing for war! "we can do this! Together with our voices!" And that was the last words I have ever uttered that changed our people's lives forever! In the end, justice will always prevail! But still as the platinum blade of justice, I shall continue to heal the innocent and protect the meek for the Good of all!
