TEA.

Just here to write the colours of the past

or perhaps reading them . . .

Under this mask

Was only just a child.

A child who only ever ,

DREAMED.

Who dreamed to the ends of the earth ,

Until his world was shattered by the blade

And smothered with his own mother's innocent blood . . .

And the child died inside ,

and a man with a broken heart was born.

I almost tripped , the oak door's post breaking my fall and I glanced at the tall , hooded person who nearly knocked me off my feet. His eyes were covered by his hood and only his mouth was visible. He towered a few inches over me --like most men did , only this one looked younger than the brutes I met on the streets. No empathy or repentance on his lips as he slightly bowed his head at me and walked off into the crowd -- opposite of where I was going. I growled at him lowly , turning to walk off and get back into my planned business , and that's when I realised--

I landed , right in front of the hooded man from earlier and gave him a wolfish smirk as I held my hand out. The crowd gasping at the damaged cracks I had caused from the intense crash I made to land directly at him. "You're pretty damn sly , aren't you?" I told him , the edge of his mouth twitching a little as I darkened my stare. He was still silent , standing stone-still and not a sound slipped out from his throat. My hands shook with temptation to pull out my fans and slice him right there --but we had an audience around us watching and listening in to everything. He put his one hand in his pocket and slowly pulled out the wooden scroll that he somehow slipped out of my grasp , without me realising immediately.

The legend is as old as time itself. The birth of the Centre was born from the sacrifice of the very first Spirit Guardian, Ren Takahashi .She darted into the sky, balanced upon the snout of the Water Spirit Dragon, Seiryū.

Her white and blue-streaked hair flowed like a Great River of soft swaying clouds behind her as she guided the dragon toward the heart of the Great Serpent, Jaaku. In a blink, her deep, bloody-red eyes met Jaaku's cold stare; fear shook through his dark scales as Ren pierced his heart with her scepter, unleashing the full, blinding power of the Spirits.

By sacrificing herself, she saved the world from the hold of Darkness and entrapped him in a hidden realm. As the rain fell, the people of the four elements—Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind—gathered at the heart of their kingdoms. They built The Centre in honour of Ren's great sacrifice, and for a thousand years, the gifted peoples lived in united harmony. Until the shadows began to return.

And then , it was my turn to take that duty.

( story on wattpad now! )

In the quiet and in the storm

Every rise and every fall

Any door that we walk through

I will never stop loving you

Every path that we might find

Light of day or black night

Anywhere where life takes us to

I will never stop loving you

Oh, my heart is yours

My heart is yours

You can have it all

Oh , you show me how

Without looking down

It's ok to fall

In the fire and in the flood

Every word and every touch

There's nothing that couldn't do

I will never stop loving you

Oh, my heart is yours

My heart is yours

You can have it all

Oh , you show me how

Without looking down

It's ok to fall

Oh, my heart is yours

You can have it all

Oh, you show me how

Without looking down

It's ok to fall

The people soon settled in the rainy mountain forest joined by many rivers and it rained almost everyday . That's how HIROKAWA , the village of the WaterBearers began .

The WaterBearers could master the three forms naturally : Water / Mist / Rain. High and Mid ranks are trained to waterbear in combat, farming, fishing and protection. While the low ranks are only allowed to waterbear in protection , fishing and farming. Low-ranked people serve the village and the other kingdoms by farming rice , small vegetables and catching fish . Sometimes trading with other kingdoms too. Higher ranks are trained to serve as guards , servants or court people in the Emperor's residence.

The Emperor lives right next to the people , symbolizing connection with the flow of friendship , trust and loyalty to both royal and common sides of the village kingdom.
