Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The white haired warrior

In a dark plain with the sun rising behind the horizon, A shadow is cast upon the world. In that shadow lies a man mounted on a white horse with two swords on his back with his hair flowing with the breath of the land. He gallops his horse fast. The sun stood behind him as his speed gushed out wind that shook the grasses of the path. He moved as if he was chasing something big, something very dangerous. As a hunter chasing down his prey he moves towards the huge creature whose limbs were big as his horse. From behind him there came another horse, not so fast but kept up with his speed. He thought to himself, 'What a beast.' He didn't describe about the creature, but it was rather the man who was chasing the creature. The creature which could be described as a creature of hell with its long nails and a disgusting face full of teeth, ran. It ran as if it had seen the death himself. 

During the great war, many creatures of the garden fled out into different regions. Some went extinct while some others persisted. among those who lived some formed into a civilization while others still wandered the world as animals. These wandering beasts were soon divided into five sections based on their magical powers. The ones at the bottom were the beasts of Earth. Even at the bottom they are said to be able to decimate a crowd of fifty to hundred humans. And among them, one of a powerful of a creature is the Eonderlinds which are larger and faster in land. And a creature of that species has been running with fear, for it is being hunted by the warrior on horse.

The man behind thinks again about the rumours that were being talked in the kingdom. The rumours were about a white haired ghost moving with wind and slaying beasts for boredom. The man chasing the beast had a a piece of straw in his mouth, which he left behind to say, "Champ I am bored, Lets finish it." Has he finishes saying this, the horse began to run faster than it did before. As the horse approached the beasts rear, the man throw a knife which he took from the small pocket in his leg. The knife flew so fast that it split the Eonderlind into two. As the creature finally fell the other man was shocked with the might of the man before him. The reason was not only the one shot kill but the power of penetration that it had, as it is said that the skins of eonderlinds are the toughest material known to man. 

The man who slayed the beast, now fell silent as he reminds himself about his control over his power. "No, i did it again, I wanted to play with it a bit longer but soon got bored." The man behind him got down from his horse and said "wow". The white haired man replied with a "Who are you?". The other man was shocked as he reminds him of the incident that happened at the village. "What village?". "the village that we departed just five minutes ago." After a long thought he remembered about the fact that he was having a visitor from the palace and the man before him was that man. He then asked him about what was his reason for his visit. The other man pulled a long scroll from his bag and presented it to him. He read the letter. The letter had a long narrative of the achievements of him and finally it contained a news of callback. It was an order to return to the palace too handle some affairs. As he read this, "Not the palace again." and with a huge sigh, "Fine" he said as he got back on his horse. As he was about to leave, the messenger called him and asked about how he could manage to slice a huge creature into two. The reply he got was, "Are you asking about that lizard down there." The man could understand that his answers will be replied with nothing, Hence he changed the question to "what is your name? kind sir" as he only knows about his nickname and not his real name. For this question he finally gave a straight answer as "My name is Boris".
