A worrior of conscience

1361 Words
The priest was silent for a while, he had a short thought on his mind before finally speaking.  " What brings you to the house of the lord at the early hours of morning my child" said the priest as he held tightly to his chain_like rosary. "Oh Father I have sinned. I spend my night giving men comfort in exchange for money to pay my bills. It's a shame to live such a life . I am tired of living like this but it's the only way I know how to live. I am tired of living this life father. I want it to stop." Said the lady as she knelt down sobbing. " Do not cry my child. The doors of redemption are always open for those who seek it. Your sins are forgiven. Go home and endeavor to sin no More..." Said the priest. " What . Saygaku! ,Do you mean he spared her life . Why didn't he kill her to. " Said the Fatman who now held a bulb of onion in his hand. " Well he didn't kill her . He let her go home to Sin no more." Said Saygaku as the sight of the onion in the fat man's hand brought him to a whole different reality. He had watched him devoured a raw potatoe and also watched him devoured a Giant carrot. He didn't want to believe that the man was about to devour a giant onions as that was just odd for even the standards of Saygaku. " That's so partial of you Saygaku. You killed all the men in your story. It's only fair the lady goes with the tides to. " Said the fat man and furiously bit the giant onions so had that Saygaku paused in shock. " Do my old eyes fail me or is that a bulb of onions I see the fat one devouring there. " Said Saygaku in cold tone. " Yes it's onions . Have you heard of vitamin A . Well it contains a whole lot of it. If you eat lots of onions like I do then your old eyes wouldn't always have to fail you like they do. " Said the fat man as he chewed the fleshy onions in his large mouth. " Let the man continue his story you fat bum. !" Said an elder lady in the crowd. " Well I am afraid that's just a story for another day. I am just an extension of the tongue of the spirit. The spirit has has lost it's muse for today. It's time to flip the coins. This sin eater must feed. " Said Saygaku still looking at the fat man in disgust. " Oh that's just typical of you. You never finish the best stories and leave us hanging." Said the elder woman with a frown on her face. " Gratitude madam . Gratitude. Show the spirit gratitude and it shall never cease to fill your ears with great stories. Ingratitude would soon chase it away and only then will you appreciate the presence of it's greatness. " Said Saygaku after finally turning his attention to the woman. " It's a great story. I enjoyed it. That's really one confused priest, the story talks about. What a man!" Said the slim man with bulgy eyes and began to clap so vehemently that Saygaku himself feared that the man's hands may snap in two. There was small applause in unison which was accompanied by murmuring and finally, coins were flipped at Saygaku from various angels of the crowd. His was quick to lit in joy as he bent down picking the coins which never amounted to much money as their denominations were low. But money was money and Saygaku was just glad to have them to himself still in his frenzy of picking the coins. His subconscious could hear footsteps approaching him but he wasn't paying any attention to anything that wasn't small and round on the ground. His head was still bent to the ground picking the coins he could see. When his gaze stumble upon a 100 dollar note on the ground. His mindset had concluded it was just a piece of paper until he paused and looked at it one more time before realising it really was money. Wasting no further time. He grabbed the Money away from the ground as if the ground had swore to deny him of assessing it. Neglecting the rest of the coin, he quickly stood straight to see who had threw such a generous amount at him. A man stood in black suit staring at him with a pleased smile. He wore black cover shoes and a black bowler heart. " Is this from you sir. ?" Asked Saygaku in shock. " Yes . I enjoyed your story very much. However the tip is for the prophesy which came before the story. Let's a take a shot walk . I want to hear all about it." Said the young man as he ushered Saygaku to walk with him. " Thank you very much sir.this is a fortune to me. Never in my life have I received such an amount at once." Said Saygaku as he carressed the dollar bill with his palms and grinned wildly. " You can keep it. All I ask in return is that you tell me about this prophesy you talk about. I am not after muse I am after wisdom and power. " Said the man and began to walk while Saygaku followed immediately. " What do you want to know about this prohesy sir. It's not so lengthy. For your rare generosity I can actually tell you every bit of it word for word." Said Saygaku as smilled heartily at the Dollar bill like someone smilling at his true love. " You speak about a young furious lady wielding the sword of vengeance from the land of the dead. Do you Know who this lady may be and do you think she posses a threat to people." Asked the man as he walked slowly on the dark road along with Saygaku. " Knowledge of who in exact this lady is, has really evaded me. But she was beautiful and young very fair natured and bold. She looked like royalty but bore the resilience of a stubborn slave. A threat to people you say ?. Eh , never to all people how can she be a threat to me . I never knew her at all. A threat to her offenders_ Yes. Indeed a very big threat . She is strong." Said Saygaku as he kept on flipping the dollar bill from one side to the other to ascertain it was really a hundred. " Hmm . A wise man fears the unknown. It's the beginning of wisdom. I fear this prohesy of yours. I am warrior of conscience. I have done many bad things in the past which I am not proud of . But those are my past. I have a beautiful wife and a daughter now and I will go all lent to safety my life for their happiness and vice versa. Tell me, you talk about glory for yourself. What do you mean by that." Said the man in a sober tone of Majesty as he lit a cigar to calm his nerves. " Chances are that she came to me. Since I never knew her before. She may be needing my help soon and in exchange always comes gift of wealth and fame. She brings forth a window away from my sufferings. And I have a great feeling that soon I will be an instrument of a higher being which would Accord me all the respect and resources I never had since my mother birthed me." Said Saygaku in a challenge attitude. " Instrument you say. How exactly tell me about this. And tell me from your expertise how a worrior can save guard his self from harm and evil. Please help me Saygaku. I know you are no ordinary man. " Said the man in a tensed voice.
