Fear, an emotion that all of man possess deep within them for one reason or anoter. Sometimes fear is good for it keep us from doing stupid thing like jumping off a moutin with nothing to stop our speedy desent and keep us alive.1

"Yuea"2

But, fear also have a way of corroding the mind and making it weak and controlable. If you are afriad of bandits then you seek protection from any who will give it you no matter the price. Then later you relelize you sold your soul too the devil and a new fear is born. The fear of death and the hand of your lord is you do not obey.3

"Yuea! Yuea!!"4

That or the one who promised to protect you seems to good and tells you only what he wants you to hear and doing so controling your fear to use for there own goal. I'ts not really the people who are afraids falt for they have yet to learn to control there fear or are so unaware of the world the accept whatever there lord says as true but, really why would you ever....SMACK!!!!5

"Yueanara Uhara!!" a deep voice bellows in my ear6

"ahh! Ryu what in seven worlds is wrong with you" I said7

Oh thats my name, Yueanara Uhara, that one yelling at me is Ryuzaki or Ryu as i called him.8

"You have been sitting there for the past ten hours stareing in the direction of the sunlands.", came Ryu's monotone voice as his pale form came into view.9

Now don't be fool by Ryuzaki. He doesn't look like much but i have seen him do amazing things thow i haven't know him long. He is around six feet give or take a few inchs with a obsidian nest of hair that goes every wihich way, pale skin almost white, his face has strong sharp angles, and wide blank dark grey eyes with deep dark circles underneth that speak to a life as an insomnic. Ryuzaki's form is lean and wirey, with sleek mucle, but to the eye he dosen't look like much and he certianly dosen't seem like much of a threat.10

"Are you listening or have you finaly decided to have a mental brakedown.", Ryuzaki inquired as he cocked his head curiously," I do hope that is not the case as we have quite a ways to go and not very long to get to out destination so your brakedown is not adviseable at this moment. Is there no way for you to put it off untill a more convenint time.", is'nt he so sensitive.11

"I'm not haveing a brakedown Ryu, thanks so much for your concern it realy is touching. Now what did you want or are you just trying to annoy me", I sad in a scathing tone.12

"You are quite welcome', he intone with a bit of amusment," but, i was inquireing becuase it is time to go now. I would prefer to at least reach Falcon pass before word has reached the King that you have sliped through there fingers. Now stoping moping and come.", and with that he snach up my pack and began to walk off.13

I couldn't help but watch Ryuzaki and think on how i go here. It's really all his falt you know. I okay with my life. I was in the Genies Academy my life path had been selected and is was sudying for it with top marks, then i met Ryuzaki and it all came crashing down.14

Now here i am standing on morning mountian with the ecentric man that insistis that i don't know who i am or the the truth of the world. I may agree at some point that what he says is true but i don't care. The world can rot and and i can live in a pretty illusion and be just fine thank you. There is just one thing i just can't seem to choke down though.15

"Yuea, hurry and come now. We have a long ways to go", comes Ruyzaki's voice now far above me on the road.16

I turn and look at him takeing in his wild obsidan hair flying every which way in the breaze, dark grey eyes blank but somehow glinting with some type of emotion, and his pale form had outstreched and gesturing for me to come, waiting for me. I knew in a heart beat that if i turned around and headed back for solreno he would fallow and i just couldn't lead him back there so i went to him.17

" Ryuzaki hold you horses. I'm coming okay" i called wondering agian just how i got into such a mess.
