"The Great King Ertha then killed the villain with his Excalibur that he manifested through his own suffering and emotions, then he wed his love of his life and they lived happily ever after, The End"
"Pftt, what a terrible story, didn't even worth a penny Henze", "Let's just go home"
" Wait brother, I want to hear another one", Henze pleaded.
"I'll tell you a better one our way back home"
"No!!, your stories always end with everyone dying it's always the same, it's all unhappy endings!"
"Well, Life isn't a happy ending whenever you like it or not, come we're going home"
" Is that What you say to your young brother who is still in his youthful days, what a way to spoil my childhood Brother"
.........
"Come, we have a busy night tonight, Many bodies will be coming in tonight"
"Why is that Brother?" Asked Henze
"The Imperial Army's scouts has returned back to Actis from their mission, there's probably going to be many dead bodies coming in"
"Come on, let's just get back home brother".....Back at Home....
"We're back Uncle, Henze took a bit of time listening to some Buffoon telling a story on the way"
"Haha, Henze sure loves stories"
"Hey Left, I umm, you know what today is right?" Asked his Uncle
"Yes Uncle, It's been 10 years since my mother and sister passed away"
"Pay a little visit to her grave would ya"
"Actually, I was thinking of not going to her grave anymore"
"What?? Why is that? She's your mother!, you should pay her a bit of respect at the least!"
" Me and Henze has done this for a long time, we hate getting reminded of what happened in the last 10 years, I don't want to remember what happened and Henze would feel the same, So its best that we stop visiting and the best thing to do is to forget about her"
"I can't believe you would say such a thing, in front of your younger brother who's looking up to you"
"Then he should see now what's it like to live in this cursed world!"
.....The room goes silent.....Henze locks himself up in his room....
" Very well then, if you're not going today you might as well help me tonight, We've got bodies coming in tonight from the Imperial Army,it'll probably make us quite a bit for us Undertakers"
"Fine then, i guess I'll help tonight"
"But first, Left, I need you to make sure your brother is fine, he's still 11 years old, I'm sure you don't want his childhood to be like yours"
"Fine, I'll go buy him his favorite snack"....Left goes to the snack store in Downtown Actis...
"That'll be 20 Dineros, kind sir"
" Shshhh, when did the price went up that much?"
Left pays the money
" Eh??, where did my snack go??"
He sees someone running away panicking.
" Damn it, those thieves they're growing in numbers each day"
"I'm not letting those kind of people get away again"....Left catches up to the thief and brings him down...
"Gotcha, Now let me see who you are", Left opens the thief's mask
"Wait!, you're just a little girl and that tattoo!, you're an Axenian"
"Issh Gak Von Beis Mistru" ( I am just Hungry) replied the girl
" Veik Attal Byal Nekir Pajcek" ( that's ok, Take my food) replied Left, back in Axenian.
The girl looked at Left in awe as he also knew how to speak in Axenian.
"Lieb Fost" (thank you) the girl said and left with a wide smile in her face and whispered "Benik Axena" ( long live Axena).
" She must have thought I am Axenian" said Left to himself.
....Just on his way back home, Left saw a familiar face coming towards him...."Short hair, Firm face and that same old night gown, , it's really that easy to spot you Ashigeru, the dear shrine maiden of the Moon Society"
" Its a traditional robe not a night gown and I'm not her for chit-chat Left, My father wants to speak with you at our grand hall"
" what a harsh way to just say hello to your childhood friend Ash" teased Left.
Ashigeru made a serious face
"As you please my lady", bowed Left and he followed Ashigeru to the Moon Society's Residence Quarters.
