Chapter 47 - The Sword (2014)

Z was struggling along the road, her weariness was shown all over her face as she walked through a long difficult road, empty handed.

She's walking through a dusty, narrow road and on her left was a body of water, it looked like a kind of swamp. The water looked like not a clear one, maybe it was a fishpond.

Something seemed pushing her to go on walking, to go forward, straight at that narrow road. She had no idea what was there at the end of the road or what kind of place it was.

However, a crying, sickly child suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the left side right in the middle of the pond.

She's confused, on what to do.

She wanted to go back and to get the child, however, she might get stuck on it. And it won't be possible anymore for her to go on to her aimed destination.

But, something, within her was telling that it's just an illusion, a temptation along the road to hinder her purpose.

She heeded the warning, and just ignore that child in the pond and it's indeed true, the crying child was just an illusion. It just disappeared like a bubble in the air.

She tried hard to continue walking until she had arrived at last at the end of the road.

She saw a woman was there already, and she looked like a teacher.

Then, she saw a few men in white clothes, with that long, white garments and each was holding a sword.

And there's a throne in the center, but the throne was still vàcant. She hadn't seen anyone sitting on it, but those men in white clothes were standing beside it, as if guarding that vàcant throne.

The throne had some markings below it, near the footstool, and one of the words was, "Police".

Then, one of the men in white came nearer her, approaching her with a sword. He's extending a sword towards her and she's hesitant to get it. And later on, she found herself sparring with him already using that sword he gave her but she's struggling to defend and follow his steps.

He was practicing her using the sword.

But, she stopped and hesitated to go on.

And decided to turn back and just leave.

However, she returned back again and decided to follow the man in White again.

This time, everything went on smoothly and now her body was also in rhythm to the movement of the sword. She was now able to follow the movement and smooth flow of her master's sword. Finally, she had accepted his training and she successfully made it.
