Story~
In a world that parallels our own there is a story to be told. This tale is not of some great hero nor the epic tale of a world gone awry. If anything this would be the story of a person much like any other, a story of his life, a story of the bonds he shares.
It was a warm summer day in the city of Asrial. On this day the streets were filled with people going about their daily duties, but let us focus on but a single person. In a small town house turned bakery theres a young man puling fresh bread out of the oven. As he prepped the bread he hears a ring at the front counter. He quickly puts down his bread and attends to the possible customer. Upon closer inspection of these customer he realized that he was soldiers from the kings personal guard. Realizing he needed to be careful with dealing with such high ranking officials he exercised caution when confronting them. 'Hello, my name is Zack. If theres anything i can help you with please feel free ask me'. The soldier took a look at Zack and said, 'you seem a little young to be working this bakery by yourself, where are your parents? Zack replied, well they had some errands today so im watching the store for them while their out. The soldier seemed to be satisfied with Zack's answer and continued by ordering some of his fresh sweet bread. He quickly grabbed a bad and rushed off to the display case and grabbed two loafs of sweet bread,bagged them, and rushed quickly over to the two soldiers. In fact he rushed so quickly that he ended up tripping and caused the bread to fall right on the soldier. As Zack slowly picked himself off the ground he looked up at the soldier who seemed to be increasingly angry. 'This is horrible, what kind of baker throws his bread at soldiers? Zack knew he was in deep water at this point and started trying to apologize to him. Sadly it was beyond this point, the soldier didnt merely take this as a accident but rather that he threw the bread on him as a act of rebellion. 'Something must be done about this one of the soldiers said. The other soldier reached into his back pocket and pulled out a knife. Scared for his life Zack started to back up toward the stores entrance, ' please don't kill me it was a accident! 'Don't worry boy, i don't plan to kill you, just chop off the hand that threw it!
Zack tried to back away but his back was against the door. As the soldier slowly began to walk toward him Zack panicked and started ramming the door. He thought to himself, ' ive got to get out, open dammit! With one last final push the door was free'd from its hinges and Zack fell into the street. Before he had the chance to get onto his feet the soldier pinned him down and was just about to sever his hand where there came a voice through the crowd. 'Why don't you call it quits, you've scared him enough haven't you? Both Zack and the soldier looked looked to find a scruffy man in his mid twenties with a sword on his waist. The soldier was losing patience fast, ' who the hell are you, do you realize this is a act of treason to stand against me? The man smirked and replied, ' My name is Tendou and citizens shouldn't live in fear of those who should be protecting them, now leave before i lose my patience. The soldier immediately stood up and drew his sword, ' then i shall execute you both! Tendou then Drew his blade and switched it to the dull side, lets take our time and enjoy this. The soldier began to charge at Tendou, but rather then guard Tendou stepped into it and hit the soldier under his arm. There was a brief pause as the two men stood there. A few moments passed and the soldier slowly fell to the ground. Zack's life had been saved, but why? Tendou sheathed his sword and walked over to Zack with a big grin on his face. While reaching his hand to Zack he said, ' wet your pants kid?
What was once bewilderment soon turned to frustration as Zack got back on his feet and said, ' No and not that im not great full but why help me? Showing signs of slight amusement Tendou replied, ' My what gratification this is, isnt it natural to help those in need? Zack looked down at his hand, slowly closed his hand and replied, ' well im glad at least you think so. In the background there were the sounds sirens getting ever closer, it became very clear that they had to either hide or face the consequences for beating up a public official.
