After they finished preparations and when everything was done both start to head out.
Ms.Nebula, should we go around then?
Yes,much appreciated.
No problem it is my job after all. Wait for a second.
After saying that Cedric goes back inside the office and after a while comes back with some papers in hand.
Nebula curious asks
May I ask what the paper is?
This is a map of the town and these papers are the details about specific place and a little history of the town.
That is nice. It is amazing how much you do as a volunteer.
Well, we do have tourists come here from time to time so it helps a lot, Since we don't have much people working as volunteers.
After a little stop Cedric continues.
But I don't think you well need it.
Nebula curious about Cedric's actions and words asks
Why? If it's not useful, why bring it?
Because I will be sure to tell you everything and you look smart and someone who can memorize things easily. And it is a rule that we should hand every tourist a paper even when we accompany them.
I see, so it is a long tradation.
Yes, exactly.
After walking a while Nebula asks
So where is our first destination?
It is the central park it is the biggest park in this town.
Nebula with excitement says
I see.
But firstly I think I shall tell you a little about our town's history.
Hearing that Nebula's enthusiasm disappears.
Seeing that Cedric asks
Could it be that you don't like history?
No, it is not something like that. I am not good with history.
I get it. But don't worry I will explain it in a way that it would be enjoyable.
Cedric made a bright and confident smile after saying that.
hearing that Nebula's spirit rise up again and her excitement could be seen in her face again. Then she said.
I can't wait for it then. I will leave it in your hands.
Okay, so firstly I will start about the history of our town's name.
That is right, I always wondered why name it something like black swan.
From what the history of town says I will tell. But now adays it's a debate where the story is true or a myth.
I can't wait to hear it then.
Cedric starts telling the story as they walk toward the park.
So, the story starts from a time when no human lived here.
Nebula confused asks
How can there be a story if no one lived at that time?
It is said that the native people which traveled to here saw it and the story begans from there.
Okay.
In that time there was a big river that splitted this place into two. The people who came here came from the other side of the river. At that time the river was filled with swans. But among them was a black swan that other swans always circled around it and it was the most beautiful of them.
Nebula with joy said
I can imagine that black swans are beautiful.
Then Cedric continued
Yes, but people always found it odd. Because the swan was always at the other side of the river and would never go to the side that the people were. As time went by more people were attracted to the swan. But it was unreachable because how far it was. Crossing the river was also a hard thing to do. After a few years people could no more tolerate the distance so they started building a bridge.
Nebula who couldn't hold her excitement said
It must have been really beautiful. I wish I was present at that time.
Cedric looks at her with a smile. Then Nebula continued.
I am sorry, I am so excited that I keep interrupting your talk.
There is no problem. So, after sometime the building of the bridge was completed and people started going to that side of the river daily to see the swan. After sometime shops and attraction places started to build around that area. And the swan became an idol to that place. But, the priests of that time weren't happy at the situation and saw that swan as a threat to their benefits.thus, one night they hold a big banquet and invited every one and served them food. After the dinner was finished, the head priest said that everyone ate a part of the swan.
Nebula who became sad and furious hearing that said
How bad, human greed knows no bond.
Then Cedric continued
But people didn't believe that and went to see the swan the next day. But, the swan was gone, no where to be seen. They went to that place day after day for the hope that the priest's words would be wrong. But unfortunately the priest's right or wrong were unknown. The swan never showed up again after that. Because of that riots occured against the priests and the furious people went to the temple to make the high priest take responsibility. But when they arrived the priest convinced them and after that the riots were gone and everyone calmed down.
Nebula confused asked
How did the priest convinced people?
Cedric with a smile said.
Why not guess it?
While pouting Nebula said
You are really mean
Now,now. just guess for a while and I will tell you about it later.
Okay, but it doesn't change the fact that you are mean.
Cedric laughs lightly and with a smile says.
Okay, whatever you say.
After some time of walking they arrived at the entrance of the park.
Cedric rised his hand and said.
This is the central park of our town.
The grumpy Nebula forgot all about the swan and was captivated by the beauty of the park.
