Suddenly they were ambushed and were killed like fowls. Not a gentle soul was spared including their houses, they were burnt away and that was the of the village. Day by the day, month by month, people began to morn the death of the elites in the Village and the villagers also. Seeing kids and pregnant women who died in the incident, citizens of other countries was touched and decided to give them a befitting funeral for the souls of the deserted bodies including the kids in the village and ordered no one to step a foot in the village for two years, to acknowledge their exit and look forward to terminate the society or kingdom that did this to them.

Two years later at 7:45am ,a boy woke up and found himself at the river bank and turned to the other side with his eye lids so heavy.

unfortunately for him, he had an eye contact with a wolf, not just a wolf but an alpha wolf and he knew the wolf was not alone. Immediately, there was an adrenaline rush. He had to run faster than his legs could carry him. On getting up, he realized he had been badly injured. He almost had his butts ripped off but luckily for him, it was a piece of his trousers that was left in the wolf's teeth, leaving the underwear well packaged with his butts.

Then he heard a sound and turned his neck to check what's making the noise, only to see a wolf jump, about to bounce on him. Suddenly he saw an arrow passed him in a flash and it killed the wolf through the mouth.

Before he could realize what is happening, a man has already passed him and he stopped and what he saw, surprised him. Within five minutes,he found out that they have all been cleared up by the man without sustaining any injury from them.

Before he could even turn to the other, the man has already appeared in front of him,he got scared and fell down. crawling backward,he felt something, turned and found out that he has already been surrounded and he said in his mind, is it my end,he fainted.

Finally he wakes up after 12 months of deep sleep, he found himself on a sick bed about to be taken away to be disposed. Before he could finish his sentence saying where am I after several minutes of starring, misbehaving and wondering where he is. He started trying to cause commotion in order to enable him escape from them and evacuate from the residence, he received a thunderous slap at his cheek which disfigured his senses for some seconds .At this moment he was confused whether to cry or ask his question but he could not hold the slap given to him, he kicked him at his balls so hard that he knelt down by force but that was not enough for him, he slapped him back and fainted again which reset his treatment and they started treating him from the beginning, they took his Vitim to another room to cool him while he was screaming in pains.

Two hours later, he woke up and was taken to a room to dress up so that he can stand a chance to meet the Supreme Overlord and the counsel of Elders at the Empire. Meanwhile as he was dressing up, he was starring at the door to see if he will show up but did not. hehe he got up and left the room to see the Supreme Overlord, not knowing that he is been watched by him and he smiled saying in his mind that this will teach him a lesson never to joke with me or slap me next time, he was turning back continuously to see if he will show up but was nowhere to be seen within his view.

When he got there, he was commanded to stand before the Supreme Overlord and the Counsel of Elders for questions. Here comes the question, hey what is your name, Ricardo he replied, what is your mission, your goal and your aim? ,he kept quiet and could not alter a word, speak up kid. Ricardo (the boy) looking at the Supreme Overlord with two large hybrid Wolves sitting beside him, he began to shiver with sweat all over his body, the Supreme Overlord smiled.

When he realize himself and came back to his senses, he kept quiet and went cold suddenly before the presence of everyone and they were surprised, said to them in a deep voice, my aim is to achieve my goal, my goal is to fulfill my mission and my mission is to do that which I must do. What is that you must do, they asked, speak up but could not say a word.

Then he raised his face up to watch the Elders, looking so mean and devilish with his eyes red and demonic, he scared the Elders. Immediately someone appeared before him in black with a cold and silent entrance, waiting to receive a signal to execute his job by killing him before he can make a move.

Suddenly he heard a snap of the Supreme Overlord's finger and he closed his eyes saying if that is the end so be it then, concluding and making up his mind to accept it as his fate but when he waited a bit and there were no movement, he opened his eyes only to see the Supreme Overlord stand up, stepping down and walking towards him. Before he could meet Ricardo, his wolves has already approached him with a fierce look and immediately he urinated on his underwear and pretended as if nothing happened and that he was not scared. When the Supreme Overlord met him, he smiled and said I can see you are of good courage and you sure got some balls, now let me ask you this myself one last time cos any misbehavior or any forms of lies, quietness or delay, I will feed your crackers to my wolves, try me and this will be your end, he face changed instantly and he got scared the more, shivering in fear. what is that you must do. Many thoughts began to pass through his mind, finding the right answer to use to save his soul, he said that which I must do,has to be done, coz he knew that any slip of tongue can be his end and quietness is the worst thing to do. At that moment, it was as if Death his worst friend was behind him, waiting to see his doom and end.

Then the Supreme Overlord smiled and said wow you sure are smart, I will be your godfather and your secret name will be The Gentle Reaper and you will be the next in line after me. Immediately the Elders began to murmur and later one of them confronted the Supreme Overlord saying My Lord the boy you are choosing to be the next Supreme Overlord after you, is an Impotent child, he has no background and he can't be our Supreme Overlord. Immediately Nedu(Supreme Overlord) stopped smiling and said "are you doubting my orders" "I have made my statement and that is final" , all kept at once as if nothing ever happened and he dismissed everyone and went inside, Ricardo turned and began to leave but he found out that all eyes were on him and that was when he started having enemies and became a serious enemy of the Chief Elder and some elders as well and to some people also.

Finally he arrives at his room and was about to open the door, he was tapped behind by someone and he turned to see who is Tapping him from behind, Boom he received a life changing slap twice the pain of the previous one he received from the guy he slapped saying next time you should know your senior and he left. When Ricardo touched his cheek, he found out that it has swollen up giving his face another perfect shape, his face changed and he went out to get an ice bag for his cheek and at the same time, was cursing him and also wishing to pay him back, his face changed and he started crying after he could no longer hold the pain while walking towards the hospital to get some treatment and an ice bag.

Two weeks later, Ricardo received a royal invitation from the Supreme Overlord, Nedu to have a dinner with them. When he saw it is an invitation letter to have dinner with them, he started dancing thinking of the food that he will eat there because it is a dream come true, he started jumping and searching for the perfect wear to put on. Suddenly he stopped and his mood changed when he remembered his closest best friend and began to cry. (Door Opens) his lodge friends asked him what is it, he said nothing but what is the noise all about they asked again and he replied never mind and leave me alone!!, they began to murmur and left.

Finally night approaches, he arrives at the entrance of the Overlord's Empire and the door was opened for him,he entered and was directed to the royal bouquet. When the food was served to them, they began to discuss, then Overlord began to ask him what would he like to do, he stopped eating and looked at the Supreme Overlord, starring at the food he said I want to get strong, to protect the people I love and the people that cares about me. Nedu(Supreme Overlord) was shocked and he dropped his knife and fork when he heard this, stopped eating and drank water saying Boy do you think you can save them all,you can save all the people you love and all the people that cares about you without dying or loosing some of them? ,But he said if they are within my reach, then I will protect them all. Supreme Pontiff got sort of words, don't even know what to say he said well and hissed, closed his eyes and drank water again. Papa what about shieru academy we can go together right Richardo, pontiff's daughter (Amaka) asked, he replied yeah. On hearing this, Nedu opened his eyes and looked at his wife, she nodded asking Nedu to permit them and ok he accepted.

Oh I remember she said, asking Ricardo I heard you were in coma for two years plus so what could be the problem? . Nothing much just that that since my 8th year, I have been struggling with life hoping to death my dearest friend to take me home till a day came and I had an encounter with the wolves which increased my high blood pressure and with the fear of being killed a live by the people I saw, I fainted and when I woke up, I found myself on a sick bed about to be disposed, that is all I can remember he replied.

Finally they have finished eating, Ricardo thank them for the food, oh it is nothing they said and was about to leave, amaka tapped his Dad. Hold on Richardo he said as you can see the day is dark and has gone darker than before, pls have a night here with us he asked, Ricardo replied no Sir I have to but Amaka insisted that he should sleep with them, have a night with them, he agreed and was taken to a room by Amaka telling him this is your room, he went inside and said thank you. Amaka was so Happy to hear it that she said good night to him and Ricardo replied her sweet dreams, (Door closes) and Night Fades.

Here comes the sunny day, the sun so hot that people made sheds around. Wake up ,Wake up my friend, Time to eat cos it is breakfast time Amaka asked waking him up to come and eat. Time to eat,Ricardo and amaka sat beside each other at the dinning table to have some breakfast, Nedu and his wife smiled and this is what they have for breakfast, fried turkey egg on their plates with three shrimps and a lettuce leaf with a slice of tomato on it and a cup of tea. At first Ricardo wanted to complain that the food is small, putting a thought in his mind he said what is this and decided to eat it. Then he heard a voice saying what are you planning to do, this food is small, ask for more or you tell them you are not eating. then he asked for more but none were available and it whispered to him again do not eat just drop it. Suddenly another voice talked to him and said be Wise and he never heard the voice again. Do it the voice kept on speaking to him and he poured away his food and said I'm not eating, wanted to leave. Suddenly he heard his name and came back to his senses, looked at them, looked at the table and found out that their plates are no more and looked at his own perfectly ok and they asked, what is the problem but he said nothing and started eating without saying altering a single word and they became confused and decided to let him eat.

Finally he finished eating, amaka quickly took him outside for a stroll to catch fun,they started playing and played till they reached the market of the Rich, noble and poor but different sector but Amaka chose the poor sector for some reason Ricardo could not understand why the daughter of the Supreme overlord, a princess will choose the poor sector till they got where she wanted. when they got there, amaka asked how about we enter the cookie shop and have some cookies, he remembered his friends and his mood changed. Amaka noticed his current status and decided to leave him to get some cookies. When she came out, she held Ricardo's hand and said let's go out they left. On Reaching home, she took him to her special garden to make him feel a little bit Happy but when they got there, it worsened the case that Ricardo almost left with tears but Amaka held his hand and said pls don't go, she started crying saying are you trying to leave me alone here?, this touched him that he had to turn back and say don't cry I won't leave you here, he took the donut and they went beside a large tree to eat it,then he started narrating the whole story about his life, the pains he passed through in the past. What a mysterious and painful drummer you have experienced she said, saying don't you worry this is in the past, pls let the past remain in the past cos this is present now so Please put yourself together, I am here for you and will always be there for you she said. He smiled and said I guess it is time to go cos it is getting dark and they might be waiting for us to come and have dinner but I am tired she said, Ricardo squatted and asked her to ride on his back so that they can go home, she smiled and did so. On Riding on Ricardo, she was very Happy, smiling and they went home.

When they got home, Ricardo found out that she has already dozed off on their way to the Empire and decided to take her to her room to sleep since she's still sleeping. On seeing this, Nedu and Amara was very Happy to see such kind of caring. After few minutes of stress and arranging stuff , he decided to go to sleep without eating coz he has lost appetite of eating and their room was shut while sleeping.

Still sleeping by 5:55am, he found himself in his village walking round their house and he found his Dad hiding an object at the Center of their sitting Room, starring at the windows to make sure no one sees him on the process and he quickly sent a note out with a bird to a destination he does not know. Suddenly he started hearing some noises and screams of people, he came outside to find out what is going on, only to find see his father already dressed like an Assassin with his Mom taking swinging her sword. suddenly, they disappeared from his presence and he ran towards the scene, hoping to see them there. When he got there, he found out that they have already terminated half the lives of the invaders, he smiled and was proud of them. Stepping a foot further, he saw a very huge man who happens to be the leader of the invading Team, attacking them. It was a tough Battle till his Mom broke down who was three months pregnant and could not keep up with them. The Leader took it as an advantage to gain an upper Hand over them with his team, wanted to Stab her but his Father Intervened and it went through him. On Seeing this, his wife screamed in pains and began to cry out loud and she kicked him away from her husband, removing the sword from his body, tapping him and telling him not to die but he smiled at her persuading her to run away while he keep them busy, trying to stand up. His Wife seeing her Condition at the moment and the condition of her Husband, she knew that if she should escape, they must surely get and kill her so she decided to stay with him Saying that thank goodness their son was sent far away to buy something cause he knew this will happen, he smiled and his wife kissed him saying that let us die together and her Husband hugged her Saying that they will always be together even till death. Tears began to down their cheek as they were hugging each other saying that they never wished for this to happen, for their son to live and grow up without a parent, to face difficulties alone and they looked up to the sky in tears, we love you son and please take Care of yourself. Seeing the Captain about to slice their throat, he shouted No oo and before he could reach out to them, their heads has already been sliced out and he fell down and began to scream, crying and hitting his hands on the floor. When he woke up, he found out that he was crying Physically and Amaka quickly came to his need, asking him what the problem was and he narrated it to her.
