Crunch! Bones of different shapes and sizes broke and cracked around him as he walked around searching . Disappointing as most days these last few weeks . Not even rats , there was nothing he was surrounded by bones , heaps and heaps of them . The sun was going down , he had been sent here a few hours ago and if he didnt return with anything he would surely be beaten again . I reckon today would be worse . The old man's beating had gotten worse when his right leg was torn apart on one of his hunts and it was now a sore spot for him . He got enraged more easily and was angry most of the time , he beat us even more than usual these days .He would beat me to an inch of my life if I come back with nothing today . He had to search for something , he would be happy even if he got a piece of a rat .
====================================
Laurence was frustrated was an understatement . A heap of bones scattered all around the area as he kicked them . I need to keep calm , I need to find something , I cant go back like this . it was already night and it was time to go back . Fear , frustration , regret and anger filled himself at this moment . Another bone heap went flying as he kicked anything around himself . He paced around thinking whether to go back or keep searching . If I get a big catch he might forgive me for going late , he might even reward me . Hope rised inside him as he thought about that . I just need to search some more . A bright light suddenly filled his vision as he was pacing , it came from afar but it was still a huge source if light in the dark . Laurence immediately run to the other direction as he had never seen anything like this and heard stories about demons and creatures from the abyss and how terrifying they can be from the old man when he tried to scare them .
This was a bad idea. I should have listened to him. I shouldn't have stayed in this place at night. Why did I stay . As he run around the the place he saw a massive heap to his right and quickly hid behind it so the light wouldn't see him . After a while the light dimmed down until slowly only the dark remained. He slowly peeked at the direction the light had been coming from . He hesitantly got out from the heap of bones and after looking at the place where the light had come from run as fast as he could towards his home if you would call it that .
At a truly massive pile of bones in the same area as laurence , hidden away inside a small hole inside the pile a hand slowly pushed the bones around away to reveal a young boy with deep black eyes, long black hair that covered his eyes and black sharp eyebrows , he had scratches, bitemarks ,clawmarks and scars on his tiny body as well as dirt ,and had a dirty rag as his only clothing .He slowly and steadily removed the bones around him and after a few minutes got out of the hiding place he had found . Though he could barely see he looked around while crouching , and after making sure there was knowone he could see he hesitantly walked where the light came from . He checked around himself paranoidly as he walked .
It was a curious place was an understatement. It did not disappoint after walking for over an hour , tall grass and strange looking trees were all around the area . There were also stone ruins all over the place They were scattered all around the area and there was even small water ponds that looked breathtaking in a wasteland like this . This was a godsend in this place . There would definetly be a war over a place like this . He hesitantly placed his feet in the grass and and made sure nothing else was there . He didnt dare touch the alien trees and walked around quietly and as gently as he could to the center of this area . Corpses of various shapes and sizes littered the center area . The strange trees and the tall grass stopped growing a the center as if something was stopping them . The most eye catching one was a floating katana that had moonlight around it and hovered on a stone platform. The katana had various degrees of brightness each second , sometimes it would be extremely bright and sometimes very dull . The ray of moonlight only touched the sword and not the body's around the area , the sword was definetly the cause of the light he had seen from afar but he would save the best for last . It seems they had been fighting for this sword . Their armour was stained with blood and was decaying and maggots crawled in and around their body's .He imagined this was once a place where a great battle took place , where hero's and villains fought all for the moonlit katana . It was a disgusting but also a mesmerizing scene .
He walked around the area looking at the bodies , each one of them told a story , story's which he couldn't possibly know of but he had respect for them even though they were dead and forgotten . He looked at the center of it all the moonlit katana , It was a katana with a gold black hilt . It had a noble and divine aura surrounding It and looked majestic in the moonlight . It was as if a weapon crafted by the god's themselves. he went up the stone platform and tried to touch it . His hand started smoking as soon as he went past the moonlight ray's . He tried again but it got worse . He tries it again for a few minutes before he starts down next to the katana . Frustrated he banged his hand on a sharp edge of the stone platform and started bleeding .He needed to get this sword it was a special katana he could tell . He had never yearned for something this much in his meaningless life . With this sword he would be the thing he yearned for to be special , important , to be known .After a few seconds The most strange thing happened the blood suddenly flew from the ground and into the katana's blade. He's eyes widened after he saw that .After standing there for a few minutes he bit his lip and sat down again. He looked at the bodies as he thought .His face was slowly turning more guilty and more resolved .
He sighed softly and got up , there was only one thing he needed to do ...
