"Report,The king of Yun has been succesful in subduing the attacks from the northern plains" the announcer shouted from the town square and the people jubilated .
upon seeing the arrival of the General the people begun to hail his name .
"General Yi, it's good to see you "The King said as he came down to greet the General.
"likewise your Majesty" bowing his head to show respect to the King as he neared him
" Rise ,I believe you were successful " he said clasping his shoulder in a fierce man grip
"Minimum casualties , your Majesty" the general says standing as stiff as an anxious soldier on the battlefield.
"And that's how it's suppose to be , you did good general and I look forward to many good news in the future" he said and gestured to a guard to escort the general to his Mansion.
Whiles the General walked away the king smiled maliciously and moved back to his seat to review reports.
The General knew of the king's devious and cunning mind and he didn't blame him , being handed the throne at a young age such unscruplous behavior was expected . Rumor has it that the King was born with the face of an (anjo)Angel and the mind of a( vrag) a devil .At 1000 years the King was one of the most sort out eligible bachelor of Yun ,he had the looks physique and the demeanor to go with it.
His power to control all three element made him fearful , dangerous and protector of all since everyone wanted a strong king who could protect them, not a coward who would run away from danger .At the entrance he thanked the guard and proceeded to his destination.
When he reached his Mansion he stood beside the gate and listened to his mother tell her favorite story to the servants.
The story of how they became descendants of immortals :
"In the beginning the the Djuni(celestials) were the only inhabitants of the Earth and they lived in peace but after a while they begun to develop feelings for each other but due to their incompatibility they could not mate which left them disheartened but one Djuni ,the most beautiful of all ,Yunji couldn't discard these new feelings she was experiencing and vow that no matter the circumstances she would have her lover Yenji who was also as in love as she."she looked up and spotted her son who looked lovingly at the servant right beside her not the slightest bit aware of his mother's gaze on him ,
smiling softly the old woman continued when she saw the eager looks on their faces.
"oh goodness where was I, yes,so She begun to search for solutions to her dilemma but wherever she searched nothing gave her hope .While her hope begun to fade a star by the name Tiruka came to her ,offering her a deal she couldn't refuse ,the famous deal followers of Tiruka offer 'A mortal for a day' . Although all her instinct and Yenji begged her to decline the offer ,she turned a deaf ear and made the deal which took almost half of her immortality away as price . she was granted mortality for a day , mortality which she transferred to Yenji immediately her lips touched his." she paused and called out to her son to have a seat ,after he was seated he nodded for her to continue
" what happened next my lady did they turn back Djuni?" another servant asked impatient to hear the rest
"patience Bhixi , why yes ,they had a blissful moment but all good things don't last long.All too soon their day was over and they turned back to their original forms but rumors of their deal with the star Tiruka had spread had so far it had reached the ear of the Creator.
Curious and angry he descended to live among the Djuni 's and discovered that their union had created a new life which Yunji carried for a period of 500 years but during it's release drew power from both parent causing them to fall into the forever sleep"she finished with a sigh and looked at her audience who still expected her to continue but after a while they realised she was finished
"so that's it ?,what happened to the child they gave birth to?" Bhixi questioned
"oh , I almost forgot , offsprings of these djuni's became deadly since they were two powers that resided in them so the Creator raised them to be warriors to keep their power on a leash since they became too difficult to control hence he gave them something even better to vent their excess power on ,The Typhon , a serpentine giant and deadly creature ,because in addition to being a monster, he was also an immortal. He was considered the "Father of all monsters," it is said that when he stood upright, his head brushed against the star Tiruka who was always pissed at him" she gave them a sinister smile and proceeded with the story
" legend has it that his lower body consisted of two coiled viper tails that were constantly hissing, and instead of fingers, hundreds of snakes erupted from his hands. He also had a hundred snake heads (with a few dragon heads thrown in for good measure) protruding from his main head. His wings were so wide that they blotted out the sun, and fire flashed from his eyes, striking fear even among the other Immortals" she looked at their terrified faces and asked them if she could continue and they nodded vigrously at her
" Rumors also say the Typhon was the youngest son of Gia and Vrag. He tried to overthrow the Creator but was later defeated by his thunderbolts and locked in Tiruka volcanic cage . Later he was released by the Creator as sports for the Immortals to use. Finally every 500 he was released to help the immortals steam off their pent up energy" she stretched her arm and servant helped her up ,she turned her head and called out to her son to accompany her to her Chambers
" I am aware that your trip to the front lines has been again successful ,"raising her eyebrows she looked quizzically at him,smiled and Pat his cheeks lovingly, held his hand and continued " I saw you staring at Marian,she is a beautiful young girl ,unmarried and hardworking .she would make a beautiful wife"
"Yes she. would," he sighed looking too dispirited for an general.His mother takes his face in her palm searching his eyes desperately for a reason
"don't you want her anymore,or she has rejected you ,I can convince her to recon....."
" No mother that's not it ," he sighed and shook his head " you wouldn't understand"
" Then make me understand ,you are almost 850 years old ,you need to settle down and become Lord over your father's house and bear me grandchildren I'm growing old" she exaggerated.
The general laughed and gently pushed his mother in to the chamber "I'm well aware of your need for grandchildren but I still need time mother."
" but dear....." she begun but was halted when the door slammed shut and footsteps begun to fade from behind the door.
She sighed and shook her head maybe one day her wayward son would see reason and she hoped it wasn't too long because it was coming and her need to protect her son was her utmost priority
