And in the parchment I have found…V

Scene V

The silence was one day broken, when (X) went to his father brought him a chair raised his feet on a foot stole, gave him some bread and brought him wine, he asked him to eat. Truth then looked to his child although he couldn’t see him yet he knew him and how he looked like, his eyes ran with warm tears.

(X) asked his father “What blinded you?” Truth tried to smile and said “It was my little brother Malice who blinded me” his words continued to tell him everything of who he was, how things came to be what they are today, and of a legacy that Truth once had and now his son must uphold in front of the gods.

(X) was determined to take avenge his father and claim the legacy that is rightfully his. The sun rose in the east to shine on (X) as he walked down the path out of the city. For luggage he carried ten loaves of bread, his sword, a staff and as a companion he pulled behind him one of the family’s prides, a strong and graceful yellow bull, almost of golden fur the bull was, long horned and with wide shinning eyes.

It was almost midday when (X) reached the meadows where it was known that Malice (Truth’s younger brother) kept his herds and where his cattle graze. Walking over to the Shepard (X) asked him to keep his bull and watch over it as he went to the city to deal in business where the bull would greatly interfere. As a price he gave him the ten loaves that he carried as he would be gone for ten days. (X) also handed him the staff to use in watching over the beautiful bull. (X) then walked away only to fade into the city beyond the meadows.

A week had passed on (X) part with his bull when Malice came to the grassy fields where his cattle were. He saw (X)’s bull and called upon his Shepard to get him that bull so that he may slaughter it and feast upon it. The Shepard reluctantly replied “… but master this bull is not mine and I can not give it to you, it belongs to a young man who would soon be back for it…” Malice’s voice then roared at his servant demanding the beast and that he may give any of the other cattle to the man who would come to claim the bull. Malice’s teeth sank deep into the bull’s flesh it was as if poison had run through the bull, in shock and wide open eyes the bull fell to it’s side as Malice ate of it.
