The Sleeping Master #1
It is never too late for anyone to discover his/herself in life. Discovering this talent of writing makes me feel elated...
One thing is common with the master of the students learning some arts of fighting
In the school of sports in the island, and it is that, after he has given the students under
Him the necessary instructions for the day, he will go to a corner to sit down watching
The students as they are carrying out what he has instructed them to do, and while
Watching them, the students have noticed that he will start dozing, while he is dozing, as
If he has some powers that do reveal the position of the students to him, those who have
Failed to carry out what he has instructed them to do, he will decipher, at the initial time
He used to tell them those who have not carry out his instructions as he has told them, but
As time passes on, he stopped telling them those who have not carry out what he has
Instructed them, the students would not know why he has stopped to do this and the lazy
Ones amongst them have thought the revelation powers of the master has eluded him, but
Unknown to them that his power never eludes him, he just feels like not talking about it again
For he believes that whatsoever anyone sows that he or she would reap, one day during
Their training he told them that, he is reaping what he has sown, he is reaping the much he
Has invested into the art while he was learning the sport under his master in a very far island.
History gathered by some of the students show that he was the best among his peers when
He was young and that was what pushed his parents to get him enrolled in the art under the
Most powerful teacher of the island. When he got to the man he was performing
Exceptionally and it was not long that he overtook all he had met at the training ground
And he was been called the junior master. But on assuming this position, their master sent
Them to get for him a certain fruit in the forbidden wilderness. The wilderness is called
Forbidden because many of the fruits there though beautiful and inviting must not be
Tasted, for if one tastes it would have negative effects on the person and according to what
Some people say, it may make the person lose his power and ability to fight and also that
There are many dangerous animals there among other deadly things. However, there is one
Of those fruits which when mixed with some other leaves and an oil chaff forms another
Compound which the sportsmen use to have more vigor and power and strength for their
Daily activities and the sports. When they want to go for battle such is highly
Recommended for the sportsmen. This kind of fruit has been tried to be planted at some other
Places because people dread the forbidden forests, but it has been discovered that the fruit
Does not grow in other parts of the island apart from the forbidden wilderness. Many of
The researchers of their days have been looking into why the fruit when sown into other parts
Of the island does not survive there except on the forbidden forests alone, but none of the
Researchers have gotten close to unraveling the reason behind it growing at the forbidden
Island alone. Thus the people have come to believe that the fruit is some form of mysterious
Fruits that the supreme one has planted at a mysterious place. His master sent him with others
To the forbidden wilderness because it was one of the criteria to be fulfilled to really
Become master unto other servants, anyone who will become master would visit the deadly
Forest alongside others who their master considers to be in the same category to go and get
The fruits which would be mingled with other things for them to have more power and
Possess other skills in the art and act of the sport. They are been sent in group because, they
Need to deliberate on the way on some things to be done, they need to take difficult and hard
Decisions, which would require intelligence among other things before such fruits could
Be gotten to and plucked.
