It had been so long since I heard the word Lasha that I almost kept dozing at my spot under the Ginko tree. Instead, I opened my eyes and saw them walking along the path by the grove. It was a man and a woman, and they looked to be only a few years older than I was at the time. Could it be? My mind instantly returned to Sarayashiki village. First, I thought of Tamura Nissou, the priest who raised me, took care of me, and nursed me back to health after finding me on the steps outside the temple gate. Next, I thought of my childhood friends, the only family I ever belonged to, the Lasha children. Oria, JubeiKorin, Talic, and Spiridion were the only names I could remember at the time, but I knew there were more. "Excuse me," the woman said, startling me out of my thoughts, "but do you know the way to Hausson?" For a while, I couldn't answer. All I could think of was how much she resembled my childhood friend, Oria. Then, the man approached and said, "Come on Oria, I think he's crazy, we should probably go on our way." "NO!" I shouted as both of them jumped back. "Are you Oria, one of Nissou's Lasha children?" I asked. The couple looked at me curiously and finally the woman answered, "Yes I am, but how do you know that?" I jumped up from my spot under the Ginko tree and asked, "Do you remember a young Lasha child named DivinePoet?" As soon as I spoke, I knew she recognized me. She exclaimed, "Yes!" and gave me a big hug. Then she said, "And I'm sure you remember my husband, JubeiKorin." "Of course," I replied, "How could I forget? You guys are part of the only family I ever had. That would be like forgetting my brother or sister." Since that day, we have remained a family. We have helped each other in our many quests, fought side by side not only in the caves of Mythic and Vortex, but against Mongols and Pirates as well. We have assisted in the trials for each others first and second mark. We have been together through good times and bad and approach each obstacle together, as families do. |
