1 Small Beginnings (1/2)
In the catacombs of a bleak forgotten ancient temple seeming to eroded by time, hushed whispers can be heard; permeating throughout rusted mold-ridden walls.
”Come grasp me & you will have all the glory & riches beyond your wildest dreams”. A shaking hand came from the darkness, to grasp the glowing orb which is etched with unknown symbols; that was the only source of light in the pitch black darkness
”I want to be stronger than anyone” ...

[Two days Earlier]
Upon the peak of a mountain Layden with snow at its summit, within one of the 13 countries named Zephyr; lays a Shoulin Warrior monk temple. Within that temple, two boys stood parallel to each other on the building's side.
*THUD*
The fragile little boy hit the ground; his small frame trembling all over, after hitting the wet muddy ground flat against his spine.This young boy's name is Tanda Shin. He is well known for being a smart-ass. Having distinctive look about himself; considering his piercing green eyes, pitch black hair & pale complexion which complimented his sharp jawline & handsome features. Although he had a meager frame with his bone clearly visible he dreamed of glory and to be completed in the memory of everyone never forgotten and now he's in this situation bc he was attempting to converse with the sister of a disciple one rank higher than him
*cough* Shin was breathless.
Another boy smirkingly smiled at Shin in a taunting manner.
”that's what you get. if i ever see you talking to her again ill kill you, it's not like anyone would care your own parents didnt want you”
Shin then gritted his teeth he knows this is a snake eat snake world where power was absolute and since he was weak he was told to not sully anyone by speaking to them, but none the less Shin smirked back at this boy. He painstakingly lifted himself off the ground & dusted his clothing of the dust and gravel; just before he gave the boy his retort.
”At least the temple wanted to keep me NOT paid to put up with me, and last time I checked; your parents left you here too, Runza,” Shin said.
”they left me so that i may become a great fighter and be remembered for my prowess, You, however, will be forgotten due to your weak disposition, no glory will ever come your way” Runza replied sharply.
”I WILL BE REMEMBERED MORE SO THEN YOU EVER WILL JUST YOU WATCH”Shin responded
”that's is something that is unbelievably stupid coming from you since you have been here the longest and are still the weakest only ever making it to mortal class” runza scoffed
”Oh but i will and when i do your sister will be the first thing i claim as my own”Shin said as he made gestures with his hands
Runza has had enough! How dare this underclassman, treat him as such a minor threat. After consorting with his sister, Runzas face now reddened with rage, he cocked back his arm to land a titanic blow.Shin could feel the intimidating aura bringing him down and braced himself for the impact that he knew his weak body couldn't take. Luckily to his surprise, it never came. He opens his eyes merely to see runza struggling against an unknown force; a voice rang out from behind shin.
”It is prohibited to fight on temple grounds”
Shin turned briskly, to see none other than the temples grandmaster; Shu Ken. A 30-year-old man with the majority of his hair gray with few black streaks due to stress. Ken's eyes were as blue as the water of Pacific and his body looked like that of someone much younger, he can catch on to a lie quicker then a bullet could appear before them. Both boys bowed and apologized immediately, Shin acted quicker however and told the grand master.
”I am a well-behaved disciple & Ruza has been picking on me, a poor weak orphan” Shin said through fake yet realistic sobbing
The grandmaster looked at runza with burning eyes. A Shiver went up runzas spine;as cold as the sweat that went down his pale face. Only one thought seemed to appear within Ruza's mind.
”This j*ckass of an Actor; he is just as much to blame for our confrontation”
Shu began to speak with his voice filled with strict authority & frustration; ”How dare you pick on a younger disciple, within my own temple.”
Runza began to stutter feeling the weight of grandmasters gaze is as if being run over by 76 carriages ”bu-bu-but he...”
