Chapter 2: Unknown Place

In the middle of the jungle lies the beings that was created by that one god. Plants, animals, human being, beast and lot more beings that once live peacefully on the land given by that god. But the time of chaos came and struck them, all of the living beings who were once trusted each other and now remove that belief from their mindsets. The war, fighting and discrimination now become one of the most basic in the heart of this living beings. One million years ago, these kinds of belief does not exist as all of them are loyal to the god and are living coexisting with each other.

As time passes, these values disappearing and the conflicts begin to occur. When does this happened? The answer lies within the heart of god who are missing at the time of tragedy. Stories passing from one generation to another and after a million years, that heart of god finally waking up from a long slumber on the trunks of an old tree.

“Fuaaaa” that heart of god opened his eyes. Confusion is stricking hard that heart of god, he the one who once has no form and now waking up as one of the being created by him which is a human male. Turning his head up and down, moving up his hand and touch the parts of body to see what kind of physical that he has.

“It seems I have been reborn has a human male. Where am I and what I am doing here.” The god asked himself.
“What I know is that I am the heart of god and my head will hurt when I try to search deep within my memories for the reason why I was here.” The god keep talking to himself

With no memories and limited knowledge on the situation, the god decided to leave that unknown place and search for other being live in this place to collect more information.

“Hah! I know that one.” With a hand pointed at the small slimy beings crawling hard on the ground – the slime. This being is said to be strongest being he have ever made when he was a god but this heart of god and the other fragmented god does not know this. That was another story and in the future this lowly life will once again rise and recognized as the strongest being in the entire universe.

100 metres. 200 metres. 300 metres. The god who is walking quite fast suddenly become slower and slower and he said “What happened? Why I feel like my body is floating?” And the god collapsed in the middle of the jungle surrounded by a large tree and plants. The sound of insects and birds who are singing cheerfully suddenly stop seeing the god fainted. What will happened to  him?

Kojo Village

Klank! Klank! Chirp! Chirp! Dang! Dang!
Various sound can be heard from the village known Kojo or the village surrounded by plants. It is located far deep in the jungle. Human beings are working in the field, planting the crops and smithing equipments. Animals was kept as a livestocks and there is also a few dogs that was used as a guard. In the middle of the village lies the birds who kept chirping non-stop signalling that the time for lunch is coming.

At the village chief house, there is a pair of siblings that are playing happilly with their grandpa the chief of Kojo Village. “Grandpa! Grandma! What are we eating for lunch?” One of the pair who is tying her hair in twin tails asked the questions.
“Oh Sara! Today we are eating some breads with chicken soup.” The grandma replied.
“But please don’t put red things inside the soup, grandma.” The girl with braided hair grunting.

“Sana. You need to eat that tomatoes or no dinner for you tonight! Besides, it’s good for your growth.” The grandma raised her voice trying to teach the kids to not disregard a healthy food.

“Yay! I like bread” Sana replied.
“Me too! But I don’t like the tomatoes in the soup. It’s too squishy and make me tremble from eating it.” Sara with happy and unhappy face at the same time answered.

The girl with twin-tailed hair is Sara and the other girl with braided hair is Sana. Both of them are identical twins, so the hair styles will differentiate them. Their father are gone due to the war and the mother dies when they are still young. So, they were raised by this loving grandparents.

“Oh yeah! Can both of you go together with your grandpa to get some ingredients for the soup?”
“We lacks of parsley..It is not far from the house and this plants is just beside your favourite food Sara”

“Hmm…huh! Tomatoes..”
“Okay.. but can you not put too much tomatoes in my soup, you can give my portion to Sana. She loves it.”

The conversation between both the grandchildren and the grandmother continues while the grandfather getting ready to go out. With a long sleeve and thick jacket, together with a large hat worn by farmers, the grandfather is getting pumped up to go out with his grandchildren.

“Sara! Sana! We are going now.”
“Wait for us, grandpa.” Both of them replied at the same times.

Just after they go out of the house, the grandpa was stopped by one of the neighbours, Mr.Han. He is a merchant who are travelling from town to town to sell his merchandise. Since he got some free time, he go back to visit his wife and his mother at home. He is a very kinf people and not a selfish man. He always help people and contributes to this village. This small village who is not known before this and now when people see Han they will remember that he came from Kojo Village. So, he been there really improves the villagers lifestyle.

“Where are you going in the middle of the day, Chief?”
“We are going to get some parsley at the back of the house, we are going to eat some soup for the lunch”

“That’s sound delicious. I am getting drooling just by listening to it”

He grandmother of the siblings is the best cook in the village. Everytime they have a festival going on, the grandmother is the one that lead. Every food cooked by her will be finished in the seconds and even she once had received an invitation to work at one of the famous restaurant in the city but that was another story.

“Oh Han! Where will you go next for peddling?”
“I’m going out in the three days time, in the town near our village.”
“Once you finished there, can you buy us some equipments for farming because it seems that most of them are old and dull? I will pay you for it.” The grandpa request it.
“Don’t worry about that, Chief. I will pay for it since it is my job to get the items and equipments and I don’t want my family and the villagers to be starving because of me”

The main reason is that Mr.Han is the only who have a horse to draw the carriage since it will take less time to go to the town. An average distance to town is about 20km so if by going by foots while carrying the luggage it will take more than 2 days to reach there but with a horse drawing the carriage it will take less than a day.

After talking to Mr.Han the family continue their business. They are walking side by side while singing cheerfully some famous song for the kids. In a few minutes, they arrive at the place where a lot of vegetables was planted. Cucumber, carrot, parsley, potatoes, tomatoes are the example of vegetables plants here. That’s why the village is known as Kojo that gives a meaning of plants. This village is famous for these vegetables, since it war times, this village is soon gonna be targeted by the enemy.

“Grandpa! Grandpa! What is that?” Sana directed her hand to one corner of the farm that is looked like been destoryed by something.

After finishing their business the family go towards the area and found that there is somebody lying there. And that was the heart of god. This meeting will greatly influence the fate of the village that soon will be pillaged by the bandits. That was another story.

“Sana! Sara! Help me hold the vegetables, we need to save him as soon as possible. I will bring him home.”
"Yes, grandpa" Both of them agreed.
