Five Years on.
Zhen sat on in an open field with his mind completely out of this world. His brain playing back the event of his parents death. He had been traumatised by that event. His sister , Jhea was nearly becoming a dumb. She rarely spoke and never related with anyone including her siblings. She only managed to speak with Zhen.
The had been in their uncles house for give years. Zhen wants revenge. He wanted vengeance. Funny enough the killers did not hide their faces and they let them go. They must have thought they were too weak to go against them . They thought they were weak and dumb.
"Silly fools I will avenge my parents death and I will do so even if it takes my life." Zhen said in total anger and frustration. He was more than determined to kill these men and he knew he would kill them no matter what.
"What did you say? Who are you killing? " Zhen's uncle said from behind him. Zhen shivered in shock . He never expected anyone to be close by.
"Uncle what are you doing here?" Zhen asked. This was an open field outside their home but his uncle did not like coning here .
"I came to check up on you. So tell me do still bear grudges for Geroj and his crew?" Zhen's uncle asked. Zhen turned suprised at his uncle's statement.
"What do you mean? You expect me to forgive them, after all they have done? Uncle I am going to kill every one of them. I will slice their throat and take their eyes to my parents grace to show them the evidence of my vengeance over their death. Then they could rest in peace." Zheb said as tears amounted in his eyes. He turned away his head to avoid his uncle from seeing him crying.
"That was not what I meant. You know your dad was a strong man with a good heart. It is a pity some people wanted him dead. He was generous and kind. He was a loving man. He wanted you to become strong like him. Strong enough to make your decisions and stand by it while removing any obstacle on your way. That was what your father planned for you. You are the bravest of your siblings and that was why your father said that you would be the person to avenge his death." Zhen's uncle said. Zhen turned sharply to look at his face.
"You mean my father knew he will die in the hands of Geroj? Why did he not kill him before Geroj struck him?" Zhen asked as anger was beginning to set in. How could his father expect his death and not prevent it?
"His hands were tied . He wanted to fight but he could not risk the lives of his family over his. He decided to remain calm to avoid the loss of any member of his family. He was threatened with the possibility of losing his family if he acted stubborn."
Zhen squeezed his fist in anger. He got up from the field and walked a few steps away and stopped somewhere in front.
"Uncle , I will avenge my parents death even if it takes my life . I will crush their souls and squeeze out death from their bodies." Zhen said with pure hatred. His voice low but stern and his eyes glinting in pure anger.
"That is why I am here. Your father said that you will avenge his death. He said you will be trained to kill them and you will do it with no trace."
Zhen turned sharply in suprise. Why did his father chose him instead of his senior brother? Was he so confident in him? No this was not right? He wanted to avenge his father's and mother's death but he did not expect his father to assign that to him .
"Why would he do so? Why will he choose me over my senior brother? Does he think low of Clen?" Zhen asked but the uncle smiled to himself.
"Do you know why he did so?" Zhen's uncle asked rhetorically and Zhen could only but nod at him. "That is because you are braver than him. You are better than he is. He is weak in the spirit and that makes an enemy very difficult to eliminate."
Zhen stared at him. His mind recording every detail spoken to him. He casted a false back at the sight of his mother's death and his dad's. He remembered his brother's inability to defend the family.
"Yes sir. You are right. What should I do? What do I do? How do I kick the ass of a crazy fucker? " Zhen asked.
"Tomorrow , Dealit Hodes will take you away. You will be taught how to kill. He will help you learn the mastery of killing. " Zhen's uncle said.
"I will kill them. I accept it. I accept to learn the art of killing and I will learn it well. I will come back to kill those fuckers. I swear on my life that it must be done!!" Zhen exclamained in anger as he began to sob.
His uncle smiled to himself and left him alone. He wanted him to feel the anger properly and also make up his mind on killing Geroj.
"He will make a good killer. He sure will." Zhen's uncle muttered to himself. That was how the path of assassin hood was introduced in to the life of Zhen Dokus.
