Chapter 2 - Fragments Of A God

 After venturing further, he saw a light. A world of many cultures and ideas. The Kokoro World. The world had many red shrines and lights built for a certain idea they devote themselves to. The beings there are commonly demihumans and humans.

He enjoyed how the world had a warm atmosphere, the sky in the morning world had a mix of red and orange, while the night world sky was the color of absolute nighttime with a mix of the lights.

He spent his time there learning, understanding, and enjoying the world's unique ideas. 

Yet, while he ventured deep in the custom market, far away near a sewer. A lone tall child with bruises and dirt looked at him as if looking for hope from him. The light's color of red and yellow blinded his skin and Sae-on's eyes.

Sae-on was enticed to reach out to the child. He ran to him and smiled lovingly. His long hair swayed as he scrutinized the child, the long bangs that covered his eyes flowed from the wind. 

The child could see how beautiful and majestic he was and brightly looked at him yet he had a bitter untrust of him, his tattered sleeveless shirt and rags of a pants showed his intense bitterness towards the rich merchants who sold him and the scholars of the idea of slavery. He thought Sae-on was one of them yet he acted differently.

He reached a helping hand to him, a poor slaved child who ran away. The child couldn't help but take his hand slowly. As he took it.

Suddenly, Sae-on took him to his inn room and bathed him till glowing, gave him clothes, fed him and let him sleep at his own bed. The child was still untrustful of him yet he slowly opened his heart to him. 

One day, he looked at Sae-on in the kitchen and tugged his sleeve. " g..ive, me..a name.." he exclaimed softly to Sae-on with determined eyes.

Sae-on smiled at his want and thought of.. " How about Michael?"

Michael smiled for the first time. Michael grew and devoted himself to the idea of Protection, Strength, Passion, and plenty more. He was worthy of the title 'The All—ruling Emperor'.

Sae-on didn't realize this but in the blink of an eye. Michael grew from the feeble yet tall child into a strong unparalleled muscular handsome young swordmaster.

He didn't realize this, but Sae-on had finally found his lifelong companion, further more, the companionship will turn into a more special relationship.
