(Chapter 3) The Reality

It's been a day since Takeo and his father talked together.
Takeo thanked his parents and said goodbye, promising to return.
His mother was terrified of what would happen to Takeo, and she became angry with Daichi, who allowed him to leave.
"I can't believe you allowed him to leave Daichi!
He's just a kid! "

Daichi lowered his head. Even though he allowed  himself to leave, he was upset.
"That was his destiny."

Eiko sat on the ground and started crying.
"Destiny?
You know very well how much you have suffered for that destiny!
And again you sent our son there! "

The room was quiet for a moment but Daichi spoke.
"I didn't believe it either!
At least until yesterday! "

Eiko raised her head and looked at him.
"What do you mean?"

Daichi smiled and looked at him.
"Yesterday I saw that our son had actually grown up.
He already knew everything, and yet he was not overwhelmed by despair!
He had the strength he needed to move forward .... "

*Flashback*
Yesterday ...

Takeo was delighted that his father had already admitted that he was ready to face the outside world.
He stood up and looked at his father with a smile.
"I promise I'll make you, my mom and my brother proud of me!"

Takeo took his sword and a book.
He gave the book to his father who was surprised.
"There is everything in this book!
You should have read it? "

Daichi thought deeply and finally managed to remember the book.
The bad memory came to his mind and he was shocked and started browsing the book right away.
Meanwhile Takeo started practicing with the sword.

Daichi was very tense until the moment he reached the page he was looking to see.
He was surprised but at least calmed down.
(Thank God he doesn't read that page!)

Takeo looked at him as he trained.
"Dad?"

Daichi looked at him scared.
"What is it?"

"I've been annoyed by curiosity for a long time, although I don't believe it's true, but I wanted to ask you something!"

As Takeo spoke, Daichi began to lower his head and listen.
"Dad!

Is it true that a member of our family had become a Demon?"

Daichi was waiting for this question.
"Unfortunately it's true!"

Takeo was shocked and clenched his sword hard.
"Then i want to meet him!"

Daichi was surprised and saw that Takeo was serious.
"I can't say you won't meet him, but until then you have to be stronger!"

Daichi approached Takeo.
"Give me that sword."

Takeo gave him the sword and it seemed Daichi had a hard time holding it in his hand so he left it on the ground.
“That is a sacred sword!
If you read that book this sword was held by that boy who used Breath of The Dragon for the first time."

Takeo was surprised and continued to listen to his father.
"This sword was inherited from generation to generation until today.
But this sword can only be used by special people.
Some say that anyone who uses this sword can see real dragons.
I'm surprised but it seems that this sword has chosen you!
But you have to grow more not only physically but also mentally and then you can use this sword. "

Takeo was already determined.
"Don't worry dad! I'm going to be worthy of that sword very soon!"

Daichi smiled.
"Let's go home now!"

Takeo was the first to leave, and Daichi unexpectedly looked at the statue that Takeo had hit.
The statue was destroyed and he was surprised and smiled.

"He is indeed worthy for this journey!
But I hope Takeo never encounters him!"

*Flashback End*

Meanwhile ...
Takeo had already started traveling.
He was already too far from his village.
He passed through several villages and noticed that something was wrong.
He saw a village nearby and immediately left for there.
He was walking and was shocked to see what was happening to the people in that village.
Children stealing food, men arguing with each other, poor women begging for food.
Takeo used to live in a village where people were in harmony and as he watched those people he was shocked.
He was walking and saw that the village was covered with despair.
Suddenly a wounded man appeared in front of him.
Takeo immediately went to help him.
"Let me help you!"

Takeo was biting the man's palgen who looked upset.
"What happened in this village?"

The man starts talking.
"A Demon!
He attacked our village yesterday.
He killed many people and injured others like me now.
But fortunately a man showed up late and killed the demon. "

Takeo was scared.
He was shocked to see what had happened.
After he helped that man Takeo was walking in the village.
"Who knows how many other villages are attacked by demons?"

He stopped and thought.
"What am I doing?"
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do? "

Takeo starts running.
"I want to stop other disasters from happening!"

Takeo was somewhat shocked but he knew he would take this risk after choosing this path.

Takeo is slowly beginning to understand the outside world.
He knew this journey was not gonna be like in a fairy tales.
This was the reality.
