　　Long Way From Home

　　"A whole enchanted world is this really, thank Goodness, no weird voices again" as she stopped in the middle of the green bush to take a rest, she could clearly hear her heart beat like the drums of ancient China, as if she'd been inside the biggest empire drum and the drummer continued hitting the drum with his mighty logs with all might and strength, and it was all going directly to her body then to her heart. 

　　   She held her chest as it made loud sounds “gbu ghumm, gbu ghumm, gbu gbhumm” She thought of ripping open her chest skin and taking her heart away so she could finally rest in peace. She bent down to get a view of where she might be running to, but nothing except tons of another green bush. She cheered up, for the first time, since the run. 

　　   She felt peace and life, finally it was like she had seen hope. If she was dead her heart wouldn't be beating. She was alive. And as she wandered on it, the voice that had seemed to depart her came once again "welcome Pradai,we have been waiting for you" she gasped in surprise and held her breath for an adrenaline rush, another voice, so tinted and smooth came intruding "His spirit and blood is in you" 

　　   Pradai was overwhelmed, not even with the fact that she wasn't alone, but who was "He"? What are they talking about?, how did they even get to know her name “Pradai ''' as it was the name her Grandmother called her, and only her Grandmother used the name.

　　  As she debated on this, The third voice came in, more musculine and spoke with energy, strength and power as if it had been battling for ages unconquered. 

　　   3rd voice: Hmmm This thing? How so, just look at her! Look how she is,not even afraid of me?!!!!

　　1st voice: hold on mistos, take it easy, everything mustn't be fought. She is the one we have been waiting for, for ages yes, I can smell it,the blood and spirit of the Lord Papire,The great conqueror and leader of the Guardians! He lives, the time has come.

　　2nd voice:yes,but how could the spirit choose someone from her dimension, A breeder, and not even a man, hahahahahaha, do we have any chance of winning?

　　3rd: Noooo!! So this is what we have been waiting for since centuries, is this a joke.

　　   1st voice: calm down defenders of the realm, how cleaver of lord papire to cast the great spirit on her,she have been preserved and no way are the enemies ever going to know who she is, for they have been restless working tirelessly for the soul of the Guardian,we are indeed blessed to have found her first, but she must hurry, time is not on our side no longer,she must be prepared, and taught in the ways of the Guardians.

　　   3rd voice: and what are you? You have no power to do that, there's no time! If she's the Guardian,then she doesn't need to be trained, does she ?look! She already has the Book of the santacas!, But… 

　　1st voice: Yes indeed, she is the one! No one can survive the mountain, not even the beast except the true masters, although they have been wiped out a long time Ago,but she was a true blood! I sense her Guardian aura is so strong!...

　　   As if Pradai had heard enough of their "No-sense" she interrupted their "conversation" as she thought that the realm defenders were talking to themselves. But she would know what and who they truly were, their work and importance in time. 

　　"Everything will be revealed in time guardian" said the first defender as they turned away to depart to their different portals, Pradai raised her voice in astonishment and hope as if someone who had just been bolted with a strong life current

　　"Ermmm I don't know what you are talking about? What are you? And what do you mean by "Pradai Monk"? And guardians? 

　　   Voices together "with time it will all be revealed,your journey have begun, this is your destiny"

　　"Okay fine alright, right now I just want to go home, that's my destiny to finish off a business and a fight,so where do I begin my journey? Mmmm you can do me good by pointing me in the right direction as your "Guardian" ehh? Then when I get home I can think about…..all ...all the ... whatever it is you were saying...Mmmm? Deal?

　　   At that point the defenders became irritated with her attitude, and manners, they became annoyed, but of course she didn't care. All she wanted to know was the road to home, but the answer she got wasn't the answer she expected, not even in her dreams.

　　   Voices together:"Don't be a fool! Home is far from reality hahahaha"

　　They laughed at her foolishness and stupidity as they went their separate cardinals, Pradai was left shocked and shaken and in awe, not because she wasn't going home soon, but because she was in another world, a world far from reality?

　　"Ohhh that didn't go well,I'm really lost,all I have with me is this …..this book that stays dumb and dormant, how did the monk even chose a book? Awful, awful he must be in tears in the land of the dead (pause)...

　　 Really? Is he? Should he be in tears or should I be?"

　　   Pradai threw herself gently on the ground, she knew that she had no choice. And no, no miracle was going to happen out here, she was all alone in a strange land. She became emotional, and thought about home, and her friends although she didn't have much but the few she had, she had a deep connection with them.

　　   She thought if she hadn't left or even thought of fighting, she wouldn't had landed herself into a big mess, she mostly blamed her parents for leaving her at a tender age out of the cold world alone, she could remember bit of faces, but her complete basic reference was the photos she looked at and in here, unfortunately no pictures of Mom and Dad to hold on to.

　　   She felt the loneliness deep in her soul and spirit, the frustration and disappointment, but everything happened for a reason, the fight, the idea, the mountain and these she never planned any of it.

　　    "I should have stayed my ass down, prolly doing some good Jobs and getting cool cash right now and not this,but …I never planned any of this, oh how did I even get the idea of going to a monastery, wow! This is a setup? Someone is playing with my mind! Or ….what they said might be true,"

　　   She stood firmly and cleaned her eyes, suddenly a rush of energy empowered her, it was as if she had finally learned the Truth… 

　　 "Oh Pradai, you are no Guardian,you are just lost,and it is all in your head"

　　  She sat back again. She just haven't believed anything yet, perhaps she was looking for a better proof, she found a resting place to place her head as she was overcome with the ecstasy of sleep. 

　　   She had gathered enough courage and strength and agreed to explore where she was– if only a morning would come…
