We Three Kings

Chapter 1: Awoken

I opened my eyes. The light-blue colour of the sky seemed calm. I was awestruck by the view. The serene sky took my mind off the things in my head, except for one thing. How did I end up here? I looked at my clothes. I wore a plain long sleeve round neck T with long baggy pants.

I looked around to know my whereabouts. I was surrounded by big, tall trees. Then I looked at where I had laid. There was no sign of my falling there. Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. I turned and saw a man about my age.

"Are you hurt?" he asked. "No" I replied."What are you doing here then?" he asked.

"I wanted to ask myself that question too, I woke up here just a minute ago." I told him. "Our home is just out of this woods. Let's go there. You lose your memory again," he said. Without saying anything I followed him.

"What do you mean by again? Did we know each other?" I asked. He laughted at first. "Of course. We are the best of friends Mol." he said. "Did I let you called me Mol? Because it didn't sound like a cool guy's name." I said. That made him laughs.

"That my man, is what you told me what your name were when we first met. I guess our parents wanted their child to be different." he answered. "The memories will come, you've told us about it." he added. "I am Akira, your best friend." he said.

We then continued heading to the village. Strangely for me, I didn't remember any of them but the villagers greeted me like we've known each other well. It gets weirder when I talked to them like I was one of them even though I didn't remember any of them.

I followed Akira to our house. Surprisingly I work as a blacksmith here. I forged blades and armors for the new king of our country, King Zack. He claimed this land after he arrived here a month ago and defeated one of the overlord's henchmen that caused havoc on our country.

No one knew where he came from but he had defeated Riki where our own army don't even have a chance against them.

He brought ten men at his side when he slayed Riki. The ten men are the only men that believed he could bring peace to this land.

The king is now on his way to bring an end to the overlord.
No one knew the true name of the overlord. There's also a legend about the overlord. People said he was a twisted man that intrude the past overlord castle and killed the past overlord, Black Heart just to have the world for himself.

I walked into my room. My walls were filled with drawings of unique types of weapons. There's also some crazy designs like a sword that could fly or a hammer that's sharp as a blade. I'm sure it's called an axe. "Your reaction always amused me you know?" asked Akira, standing by the door. I stand there grinning.

"I don't know, I was just amazed by the room" I said. "You were amuzed by your own room? Wow" he muttered. "To you, this is my room. But to me, it's someone else's" I said. Then, he led me to my workshop behind our house. "There's still some rare raw metals you brought back last week" he added. "You didn't use it cause you said you need to design a suitable weapon to create it with" he told me.
"Sometimes you search for raw metals, help the villagers with what they needed and also you foraged food for us sometimes."

"Where are you going to bring me next?" I asked. "This is the last stop. You're on your own now" he said.

"Good, I remembered why I'm in the woods just now" I told Akira. Akira chuckles. "You always create something when you came back here. I'll be out of your way then" he added. "Yeah, I'm going to forge a weapon for you to help you in your hunting" I said grinning. "Then, I'll wait for my present" Akira said then faded away from my view.
