LA Final story

By: Leif Undseth

As those sacred waters of the Shanghai monastery collapsed off of the water falls perch
it caused a great stillness throughout ones body. It seemed to be as if the waters sound
and purity could cleanse a soul just through the ears and out the mouth.The 22 acres of
rejuvenated soil smelled of freshly bloomed rose buds and the grass flowed on the calm
breeze like a hawk ready to strike in the sky. But as all things great must have a
balance to be maintained there must also be something or someone who aims to
disrupt this peace, and today this someone who came to end one of the last things pure
and good was a cloaked man. But this was not any man in an oversized robe, this
shadowy figure rode with many men and many feared his past, present, and future. He
who rode astride a might beast comes to tarnish and exorcise all evil across this vast
land had become a common way to describe the horrors his hooded figure could bring
upon the world with the spears and swords of the many he had taken to be his
army.This reputation was exceeded each time this residing evil strode through the
country side on target to reach these sacred lands through out the old and the new
worlds.

Many believed this hellish demon and his men were riding for the last preserved
monastery in search of not something but someone, and this someone was of higher
interest to this militant group for the soul need to reincarnate the afterlife on earth and to
bring the darkest myths and secrets of the planet to light.

(On the monasteries balcony) We pray to you our mighty god for the enlightenment to
provide those who do right in this world with the benefits to fend them selfs from thee
who rides to destroy all that may have died to create. Amen. but as the robed monk
rose from his crouched position on the reflective surface of the monasteries impeccably
pristine floor, a sob rose from within the throat of one seven year old girl who at the time
had only known of hate and fear of being hunted down like a animal, sent her into a
series of painful memories of those who had lost their lives to keep her from being
taken. As the tears rolled off of her soft warm rosy cheeks others found pain and sorrow
in the loss of loved ones durning battle with the savage army of gruesome fighters who
now scoured these lands for a way to please the one and mighty undead leader of the
devils quest of control for the three realms.

When the rider reached the sapphire gates of Shung Lee many knew there would be no
fight or struggle to defend the girl with the secret to unlocking the evil of the world. For
there was no one to defend or fight except for a handful of unarmed, untrained monks
and priests. Until fate started the life of one ordinary boy who would become
extraordinary and change the lives of millions. This boys name was David.

David was brought to a family on a cold night in the midst of winter, with no signs or
indication of how he arrived, except for a miniature tag on the side of his clothes with a
single word on it, `David`. Yet this family accepted him as there own since the couple of
William and Rosa were unable to have kids of there own and raised him to be a strong
farm hand and worker without knowing that they prepared him for something greater

everyday. Because when David reached the knowledgeable and developing age of 17 a
man came, this man carried a book and a trunk. With these items the man had come to
find the son he had deserted in order to prepare him to help the three realms of the
world. Yet as David and his family saw the man approaching the farm from down the old
twisted dirt road, he called out mid stride Is there anyone here who knows a David?
Although David wanted to say it was him there seemed to be something suspicious not
only about the man but also about why and how the man knew David and was looking
for him. That would be our son replied William in a wavering voice as he tensed in the
final moments of the mans approach. And who would you be? asked Rosa. Oh! Im
Davids real father. I was left on this farm aloe as a baby seventeen years ago by my
parents David butted in as Will continued to rummage through the things the man had
brought to ensure of his intensions on their land. Yes and seventeen years to long to
be away from my only son and the protector of the good in this world. Davids `father`
continued. Well Im sorry but your saying you left me here and were sad about it for
this long and that your talking of fairy tales now that you see me again? David asked.
You my son are needed many miles from here to defeat the one who rides to Shanghai
to destroy the realms the man said.

But telling would not win David over in this argument so instead Davids father retrieved
a glass ball from his pocket and allowed a series of images to play before Davids eyes,
images of the destruction caused by the army who marched on the monastery. It
showed the skills David had obtained over the years which had lead him to this point,
and what would happen if David did not help. This seemed to help in convincing David

but his father withdrew a sword and plated armor to show that this was not some fairy
tale, but that Davids actions and skills would decide the fate of the earth.We must ride
to reach the monastery in time for one last stand against this evil. And as they rode
many who have no families or nothing else to lose join this ride for Shanghai. As the
horses dusty paws beat the ground in rhythm on their way to rid of the demons and
those who aid in there quest from this Earth.

Upon reaching the gates of the monastery Davids milita had grown from two to over two
hundred, yet the army of the cloaked one rode with over five hundred spears strong to
capture the girl. As David and his men prepared for the onslaught David left to hone his
sword skills since this was the first time he had ever handled a weapon. Yet with the
skills of a warrior bestowed upon him as a child it seemed as if he was a talented
swords men and fighter who had fought many battles.The blood that would be spilled
tonight would soak the ground a crimson red and evil would fall upon these blood
stained grounds in defeat at the hands of those who believed in keeping the order of the
world the same.

Weary and dismay over took Davids men as the sun set into the land and the moon
rose to portray the hoards of the devils army. And as they shook the gates in defiance of
this rebellion men began to quiver in there tarnished shoes that were caked in layers of
grim from the march to their almost absolute doom. But fate had seemed to be watching
over David that day for as the gates burst and a massacre began across the place of
prayer animals of the earth rose and wolves, snakes, bears took up the fight against

evil. This fight raged on into the night and through most of the morning, but this battle
took its toll on both armies and left them scouring through piles of fly covered bodies to
continue the fight.But David hadnt planned on the appearance of the devils assistant,
the hooded figure stood posed, ready to lay waste to those who stood between him and
his victory. With these powers he prepared strike down all resistance but was, stabbed
through the neck by David on his way to the chamber of souls.

This victory left the world with no worries and happiness reigned supreme again across
the realms.
