The Trickery time
My victory was in the finding of the real truth that his beneath the feet of those who supposedly knew best, I knew we could find a path that led a different direction but we were compelled to pass mists of the same song ,so my voice went wild. I had taken time to create a voice of this strange being but I found no answers to the heart of many questions. So in this journey somehow there was mockery to the human creation, it fought battles it knew would win but played safe to save time, surely there is a duty intertwined with the presence of living, so lived.
The story continues as the minds of many are caught on nets of compulsion, so I am taking this time to read the surface of the lost scripture,it is what makes life worth being ,till the last breathe I shall fight,tooth and nail if it be so I knew I was a voice from the rest,even the love that lived within me was far apart from the rest of mankind, so still I chose my own and lived the purposeful dream that made sense,it was as though I was an outsider to my own ,so it all started to make sense.
In the year 2004,long but no so long ago, a young girl named Tiana lived with her mother and father,being raised so strictly, Tiana hardly knew the world,it was as though when she stepped out she had started another life aside from her own. Everything was different. She was never allowed to play with the neighbor's children nor even talk much to the world outside,she was home schooled, even though she had not understood why her parents stopped her from the world because from the window she saw smiles and heard laughs from the neighbors children coming from school and playful Saturdays, so Tiana never made sense of why her parents kept her in all by herself.
When Tian turned 16, she started being more inquisitive about the life outside her house, she finally got the courage to ask her parents why they kept her here all alone in the house unlike other children,she felt lonely and thought that she had a infectious disease that made her parents keep her away from other children. Her parents said that the world outside was dangerous and so many people had been harmed over the years because of careless drivers and thieves.
Tiana : Dad and mom if you were to leave this world and left all by myself how would I face the world all on my own when all I've seen are the corners of this house?
Tianas' father :Tiana I know my child you want to be like other children and play outside too but the world out there is dangerous,we have also heard that the werewolves men near the forest that's close to our village,not many have seen them ,but those who have came back saying they are dangerous and kill people mercilessly and we heard that children were going missing in this town so me and your mother made a decision that you will be home schooled and we will not allow you to go out at any cost because we love you and the thought of loosing our only child scared us so we decided you will be home schooled and you will not at any given day step out of this house.
Tianas' mother: Tianna,your dad is right,a lot of strange things have occurred over the past years and me and your father couldnt bare the thought of loosing you to something that we had no idea what it looked like or what it would do to you,it scares us,that's why we keep you indoors all the time Tianna.
Tianna: Ok mom and dad,thank you for having protected me and loved me.
On that night Tianna started wondering how it would feel to ever step out and feel a different kind of feeling from the one she always felt,not that she was bored of her life but she felt she needed a different kind of feeling because life is unpredictable. Tianna thought to herself that she wishes her parents understood that they can't hide her in this house till her death because at some point they will get old or die and how would she be able to take care of herself than.
The following morning a Tianna asked her parents if now that shes older can she atleast go out to see the world a little, her parents looked at each other with worry and thinking of how much their daughter has grown and as much as they would love to continue keeping her inside ,ut was time she made that choice, all they said was if you go out please take care,Tianba could see the Worry on her parents eyes but she had to take this journey to completely be able to find herself grown.
As she journeyed through the path of the unknown world ,she found herself in a dark forest and because of her inquisitive mind she knew she had to continue walking even though she started being scared that something might come out but she nothing about the world and its monsters nor its goodness,the bed stories her parents ever read were mostly of Cinderella and stories of beauty and the beast but still these on their own were just tales. As she continued walking in the forest she started hearing weird sounds that weren't anyhow familiar but she had heard one howl that was familiar, it was of an animal her mother had read about in one of her bed time stories,so she started being a little scared because the story mentioned wild animals and scary dark nights and it was as if I was now part of that story. She turned on bravery walk and face and continued walking , the night was starting to fall ,it got more scarier and now she wanted to turn back but she was in the middle of the forest ,she couldnt see much, even so good thing her moms stories always had some torch and food packs especially stories about campers so luckily she had a lot of snacks and carried a couple of must haves,for example: torch,food,a weapon(knife obviously that's all she found) .The forest started to get cold,she could fully understand the cold for all she ever felt was a small breeze of cold coming from the door whenever her parents had went out for important work,yes they got out but robbed me that chance I thought angrily.
It's been a long day ,she found a spot she felt was right for that night and tried to rest because it had surely been a long day,she started thinking about her parents and how they were doing,she has never gone so far whether it was night or day away from her parents,so she started missing them and tears filled her eyes, on that night she cried herself to sleep that night.
The following morning she was woken up by loud roars and singing birds and strange animal sounds,she got up so fast , looking around her ,checking whether she still had all the fingers,hahahaha.
She knew the journey was long from over so she continued her quest to find room for adventures. As she continued walking she met a wild beast, she got scared and thought of running but she knew running wouldn't really help because she was exhausted and though she drink water and munched on couple of snacks,the body truly was betrayal because it knew that this was not my breakfast type of food. The wild beast was catching up, I had no energy left in me to run anymore I tried but the Wild Beast caught up with me ,lifted me up and put me on its shoulders, I kept kicking and screaming trying to slip off his hands but it was too strong, the sad part was that I could even see where I was going. Though I knew I could have died out of hunger and thirst because I realised what I had in my bag was not enough to last me the rest of my day before this wild beast eats me up for lunch. We finally arrived where he had taken me, Wild strange animal had lived his life as though it were human but somehow he had told me he hated humans but felt the need to help me.
Tianna- why do you have so much hate for my kind Mr Beast?
Beast Answered- you kind had tortured my own,shot my own ,used our kind for their own selfish reason and not once did they seem remorseful for what they had done to my species. We started being small numbers and some ran to further forests and I dont know how I survived,I had gunshot on my right foot(as he showed her) ,this wound is a reminder of torture your kind has done to us.
Tianna knew on that moment that truly the world wounds even for the animals. Tianna also told the beast of how the Villagers lived in fear because of his kind. The Besst said no more and allowed Tianna to follow him so she could get shelter and some food. The Beast lived in wooden house that was greatly and beauty made,
Tianna: Mr beast who made this house for you ,
The Beast: My kind can not build,this was one of the shelters of your kind that had come , with many reasons, many I may not know
Tianna-Oksy Mr Beast, Mr Beast is it okay if I referred to you as Mr only ?
Beast: Fine!
This was surely going to be a trickery stay , this Beast is grumpy plus he hardly utters a word unless truly asked and Tianna was talkative, spoke a lot of weird things too.
Upon their arrival to the beasts home, the beast had offered Tianna some food and offered her a place of rest and he had thought that the girl must be exhausted from the trip and needed to refresh and rest.
Tianna had thought to herself this Beast is rather strange,he understands the living of human yet says he despises humans.
Tianna freshened up and the beast had already prepared for her when she was done. The awkward silence was a little frightening Tianna thought to herself,but the beast looks grumpy I cant talk to him either. The Beast allowed the girl to freshen up and rest.
CHAPTER 2
The following morning , when the girl woke up and looked around and the beast wasnt inside ,she started wondering if the besst took care of her to feed her to his friends. Well fear isnt a place to rest your mind ,it consumes your logic thinking. She made the place she slept on and just when she was about to walk out the door the beasts opened the door
Young Lady where do you think you going ,asked the Beast?
Tianna: uhm Mr Beast you've helped me so much ,I think its only right that I find way home,even though I haven't found fulfilled my journey, maybe my parents were right, the world was right under the roof.
Beast: I know I'm just a strange creature but if you do not meet the wilderness, youl never truly know the beauty of living and excitement. So venture young heart and create memories and remind you that life is journeyful ,create a lane that pleases your heart,being human shouldn't limit you.
How wise this Beast is ,Tianna thought , there is so much beyond my own.Maybe reaching this far is my hope to finding what my heart yearns to find.Tianna asked the Beast if she could stay for while?
The Beast wasnt so sure ,the fear was that maybe the human would be a target for many animals as many animaks suffered in the hands of men,but the beast saw difference in this human and how she had spoken to the Beast,even though she was scared of the beast,the Beast took thought of how the human allowed it to rescue her,even though she knew nothing about the Beast, the beast could have save her for his own benefit but that was not the case.
Chapter 3
Months went by ,Tianna continued living with the Beast, the sharing of space created an understanding of each otherss species and the Beast understood why human carry huge weapons when they come to the forest, the huge body and roar sounds they made scared the humans a lot and the Beast explained that the huge weapons human carry around and the sounds of gunshots make them loose mind of the true visionary of what a human is like.
Tianna-Me Beast thank, youmaybe what had been searching for was all in being saved and found by you,our fear has clouded our eyes from seeing the true identity of different kinds,for our eats have heard much and much is found so thank you. The fear that lived in my parents hearts now made sense to me,there is so much misconception and misunderstandings between different species,creatures and humans too, we are bound in our own thoughts fed to us at young age,we carry those hatred thoughts so heavily we start to love them too.
Mr Beast you have saved my young ,now I can journey back home with great joy but Mr Beast though I have found your reason to the anger written on your face for humans,please help me accomplish one task before I head back home?
Mr Beast: Yes,what can I do?
Tianna, you need to call all beasts of your kind whilst I stand near you,so we are able to make them understand the relationship between humans is crippled by misconceptions and fear we have of different kinds.
Two Days later,Mr Beast called his kind in my presence and had started addressing and explaining to them how we both the Beasts and humans have turned blind to the type of living each has and we both creatures never took time to understand each other,as we stood there , many had questions.
The beast among many- how do we trust you that your kind wont harm us again?
Tianna- as I have taken journey, I didn't know what I'd find but I found the greatest joy of all knowing the Beasts we see arent after our flesh but they too are protective of their own. She assured them that she will travel back home to address the matter to the high power and the people of the community and make them aware of the harm they will cause if they continue to misinterpret the Beasts.
Tianna travelled back home, her parents when they saw her,their hearts filled with great joy and she knew it had to be done though leaving home had left a little void in the hearts of a parents ,she knew doing what she did would fill the hearts of her parents and villagers with great joy and the fear they had of the beasts in the forest would die slowly.
Tianna knew this was going to be difficult but she knew this would do good for the villagers even if it took time to truly convince them and see light. Tianna visited the Head of the Village, the Head was a little scary to address ,everyone feared the Head but she knew this would save the Villagers from death and the beasts would also live in harmony without fear so this had to be done.
She went to the Village head, she started telling the Head of the Village that she had journed to the forest where the Beasts lived and many people were killed by the Beasts. She explained to the Head that after having experienced being locked in doors all her life because of the fear of the beasts her parents had,one day she took chance and wanted to know why the Villagers were scared of the Forest, she also told the Head that she without knowledge where she was heading but she knew she wanted to feel something different that fear and being locked in all day at home. So she left home to find answers, upon her travel to the forest ,she had fallen asleep on the forsst because the journey was truly long and she was almost attacked by other vicious animals but the beast saved her,at first she thought the beasst wanted to devour her but the beast only wanted to help her.
She had asked the Beast why it saved her, the beast said humans have come with weapons on the forests and upon seeing them they would attack them, but when it saw her it felt different and felt the need to help her. For days the girl lived with the beast and beast treated her like their own and fed her and gave her shelter, so she pleaded with the village head to talk to the people of the Village not to carry weapons that are huge for the beasts to see,yes the beasts understands there are animals that hurt humans but the beasts have no intention to hurt humans,they only kill and hurt humans because they are only trying to protect themselves,it was than the Village head understood that even the beast was scary it had no intention to harm humans.
The Village addressed this matter to the villagers and the villagers started to understand the beasts too and on they day they had promised the village head never will they carry scary weapons or tools that will scare the beasts or make the beasts feel as if they are on danger.
This story underlines the misinterpretation between different species that result in the onther hurting the other species. Yes we are troubles and some truly come with bad intentions but we must be weary of attacking those who for us not against us.
