Chapter 5: the stories of past
Relations are more important then you think-a wise man
---------------------
As i was moving for my room i was thinking about the fragility of life... why death is so easy to have yet painful and uncaring but it is also very appealing for those who are alone.
When you love people you dont want them to be gone, and you dont want to make them sad so you wouldnt want to leave them... love is a powerful emotion.
As soon as i reached my room i saw my mother there sitting alone staring at the sun, i asked "why are you here mother?"
She looked at me and said "i want to tell you about the past..." when she said this i nodded and gestured her to continue.
She started telling me the story of the past.
--------------
In the past the empire of nara was under the rule of your great grand father, meriadon. His wife had 3 miscarriages and he was extremely sad, his wife too because of this miscarriages suffered a lot of emotional and physical trauma.
For the royal line to continue and for the welfare of the empire the emperor must have a son, but he couldn't have a son.
So he prayed to gods everyday to have a son, one day his son was born but the wife had died in childbirth, hevdidnt know wether to be happy his son was born or his wife had died.
He named this child godaron. And made the immortal slayer of monarchs his teacher in warfare and the teacher of gods in politics.
One day he went to the forest to hunt, there he saw her, a maiden with perfect figure. She smelled like flowers with round eyes and a cute blush on her face while collecting flowers.
When he saw her he was struck by her beauty and fell in love, he stopped his horse near her "Oh beauty, you are as beautiful as the river of xyn, with your round and big eyes and beautiful black eyes i am struck with love, will you marry me?"
The maiden seeing the handsome king also fell in love she said "oh great man of nobel birth, my name is fesheria. if you want to marry me you must take the permission of my father, i wish too marry you too but a daughter must be handed to her lord by the father in my clan"
When she said this meriadon of the lunar lineage asked "who is your father? Oh beautiful maiden" she said "my father is a fisherman, he the leader of our clan".
Meriadon said "take me to him" as soon as he said that the maiden took the king to her father. The father who immediately recognized the king said "oh lord of the nara clan why have you come here"
And when the king explained everything the father said "emperor, my daughter fesheria should be bound to be taken by a mighty man like you for her beauty but i have a condition only her children can be made heirs to the throne"
When he said this the king said "but my son godaron is already the crown prince" when he heard this the father said "great king if i marry you to my daughter and you have children will her children or there children have a chance against your first born or his future children"
"They will be either ministers or nobels but the king can decide the fate of those within a second, i want my daughters children to be the heir or you may leave"
Seeing her father like this fesheria thought bad of him but knew he was right, her father was a selfish individual who cared about his daughter a lot.
The king when he heard of this fell into a moral dileema and went back to the kingdom because he couldnt let his son lose his position because of his selfishness. He just wanted a mother for his son.
But seeing the king depressed, godaron doubted what had happend and asked the ministers about it. The ministers explained what had happend.
Seeing his fathers sorrowful state. The prince decided to meet the fisherman.
When he saw the maiden, he asked her to take him to her father and she complied. The prince meeting her father said "i am ready to step down from the throne".
This shocked the fisherman and fesheria too, but the father wasn't easy to budge, he said "you may stepdown but wont your children go for the throne too? Will they not threaten my grandchildren?"
The prince said "i will never marry and stay single"
"I will think of her as my mother, her children as my brothers and there children as my children, i will take good care of them i swear"
When he heard this the fisherman smiled and complied, when the king heard of this he fell in tears and asked why?
The prince said with a smile on his face "father i never wanted a throne, one thing i learned from this world is that we should love our family and protect it, to me whats more important then the throne of king is your happiness, i always wanted a mother..."
When he heard this the king hugged his son and kissed him on the head, he said "oh son i rename you as pita, as for your nobel sacrifice i shall reward you with a boon that makes it so you only die when you want"
Then the king married the beautiful maiden fesheria and had twins with him. They were both strong. The sons were named bagamon and agamon.
Bagamon being a battle maniac fought the king of spirits auron both of them had a fierce battle in which they both perished near the banks of teron (a river) after punching eachother.
Pita along with agamon conducted his final rites and then agamon ruled the kingdom, for his marriage fesheria said "pita, my dear son. Your brother has reached the age to marry, i heard the kingdom of isak is searching for a bride for 3 of there daughters of good nature"
"Yes mother, i shall bring them as the bride for my brother" and there in the kingdom of isak a self choice ceremony was held for three of the princesses. Seeing them pita decided they shall be good wives for his brother.
