From Ashes to Glory-The Epic Story

Chapter 3 - The Beginning of the Legend- part 2

.............. After realising that Draxx did not respond, Regenshin looked at him in disgust and said "Stop crying like a little bitch, this stuff happens all the time." He tried helping the scared lad up but Draxx responded by slapping off his hand and sprinting into the house, closing the door behind him. Regenshin just left commenting "What a pussy" and walked off. Draxxilonius sat in his bedroom and cried for a day and half. Hunger tormented him so he started to make his way to the outside. Using the skills taught to him by Yamamoto, Draxx moved through the town undetected until he reached the town centre, where saw other children carrying bags on their backs with supplies while the plump distributers sat and whipped them if they fell or moved too slowly. His focus shifted to the section where they stored the food before distributing it. Draxx inched closer to the storehouse but little did he know, the storehouse was the most heavily guarded place in the whole town. before he could go any closer he saw a familiar sight from two days earlier. It was Regenshin, who was also creeping towards the storehouse, however, he was not as stealthy as Draxx, so he moved very quickly in an attempt to not get caught and forced back into labor. The distributers didn't trust the children with carrying the food so they hired the men in the town and paid them a meager wage for their service of carrying the bags. As one was passing by with a bag, he was trudging slowly as if the bag was too heavy for him. Regenshin thought to himself "I should be a good citizen and lighten his load", with a wide smirk on his face. He then ran by the man, slit the bag, and grabbed some food supplies in one swift motion. The man felt the difference in weight and turned around only to see nothing but the dirt on the ground. Unbeknownst to the man or Regenshin, Draxx Stealthily picked up the food that fell on the ground and retreated back to the shadows before a soul could see him. He then made
his way back to his house. The same thing happened for three straight days and Regenshin was puzzled as to how the food that falls from him disappears, being so sure that he saw no one pick it up. Determined to find out what the hell was going on, Regenshin only watched the storehouse and did not attempt anything. For the whole day nothing happened, not one incident, as Draxx was also watching, waiting for Regenshin to make his move on the food. They both went home hungry and dissatisfied. The next day, They both watched the storehouse again, but this time another kid tried the slash and grab and Regenshin was watching keenly to see what would happen next. He looked attentively and saw Draxx moving across the ground quickly but without sound as he picked up the fallen food items. Regenshin then said "That sly motherfucker" under his breath. Regenshin was well known by the distributers because he was a constant thorn in their side since they found him as an orphan boy and tried to subjugate him to work. Regenshin always rebelled and one day he was carrying a barrel with explosive material and the then 7 year old lad said "fuck this", sailed the barrel into the distributers quarters, lit a candle at the door then ran away. he set the candle in such a way that the whole room would explode when the candle burnt out. The fat faggots found out his deed and have been after Regenshin ever since, he continued to torment them everyday by stealing food by way of slash and grab. Using this method, the thieving young lad was always seen and sometimes caught and severely punished, that is, until Draxx came along. Due to the constant punishment and beatings over the years, Regenshin had a lot of scars on his body but he gained something valuable in the process, immense speed for his age and size, as well as fighting skills comparable to an adolescent. Being the same age as Draxx, Regenshin was at a clear advantage, having grown up in the street as opposed to Draxx growing up in a well furnished house with a best friend. Regenshin learned to talk from hearing the distributers and the people of the town conversing everyday which contributed greatly to the foul things he speaks every time he opens his mouth. He had a place to stay though, it was an old botanical garden where he was left as a young child.

On this particular day, Regenshin ran unto the street that Draxx lived on and waited at his doorstep for him to come home. When Draxx finally reached back home, he saw Regenshin standing at his door and the two 9 year olds stood and looked at each other curiously for a couple of seconds before Draxx stepped past his counterpart with his food into the house. Regenshin also left and went home. A seemingly uneventful silent meeting was seen by other people looking on, but something very strange had just happened and the two boys were at their respective houses wondering what in Jupiter's balls had transpired...............
