Chapter 5 - chapter five

my name is Dio an orphan raised by an old Lady I call grandma ni when I was found on a dissected carriage rob by bandits, killing every one inside, my mother hid me in a cabinet inside the carriage to keep me safe, where I peacefully slept till I was found, so I was told by the age lady old who raised me before she die when I was at the age of five, I was found by the patrolling guards in duty that day, and was taking to the nearest village, after grandma ni died I fend for myself doing the little I can do till i was twelve, which happened to be this year, went for awakening ceremony only to find out am the trashiest of the trash. a kid with no grade talent or affinity to any element.

"haaaaahahahahahahaha no grade talent, kid you are worst than the trashiest of the trash, you a the trashiest garbage."

"-"

"sorry for that please continue"

"after been found to be like this I left the town to the cliff to embrace death since life refuse me and here I am with you right now dead"

"fufufufufufufufu" you truly are an hero there kid, brazing death since life refuse you, am touch I must say"

Not bothering with the eccentric nature of the age man he asked his own question

"so who are you and what is your story"

"me?" am a nobody and my story is here where you are standing, i go by many names, some call chaos and order, other call me ying yang, some life and death, light and darkness, creation and destruction, and many other name but you can call me cosmogony. as for my story, its a burden that you can't bear on your weak little shoulder,

"-"

'Is this how all old man behave, no way grandma ni didn't act this way before she died' dio thought to himself completely baffled by the aged man weird character

"fine but can I share it with you, after all I didn't get a chance to carry any burden when I was alive and could not even fulfil my promise to grandma ni and my brother josh, I could at least share your burden with you now that am dead, what more can two dead people do other than help each other?"

"before I answer you, first answer my question"

"OK ask, I will answer to the best of my knowledge"

"Good, if you are granted a second chance to live again what will you do?"

Think through the question properly Dio gave a replied

*I would have rush at it but no thank you, I don't want to be anyone puppet or doing anyone bidding, having my life in their hands, its just like asking me to exchange a smaller prison for a bigger one, they all are still prison, big or small"

"-" the answer marvelled the aged man, hiding it he pushed on with his questions

"OK what if you are giving the chance to live again and also great power, what will you do?"

"what is life with great power and strength, only to live fulfil the purpose of another man's life, living in their shadow as a pawn in the chess board, even if you are given the role of the king in it, I may have nothing in this life but I still refuse to live my life as an amusement puppet or one for cooling off steam when thing goes too bored for some powerful person, I love my freedom"

"hahahahaha you really are an interest fellow and I like you more, now promise me you are going to stand by your promise of sharing my burden with me and not swerved from it"

thinking a little over the demand, he promised, there is no harm in it anyway, secondly what does he have to lose sharing the burden of another man,

"I promise to stand by my word till the end"

"good good good, now listen to my story".
