Chapter Three
Sweet Songful Wind Blows
The ancient religion of Truth and Wisdom, the mightest, sweetest, and smartest
beings in the world, has been handed down from generation to generation. This
religion teaches common sense and composure. As well as being strong and pure
of heart and mind. It also teaches to be strong without having to hurt anyone,
unless it was neccisary. The Golden Book said that Along time ago Truth and Wisdom
actually existed among the people. During that time there were no wars, or disputes.
Everything was settled by talking and negotiating. With the time spent not fighting
wars, many became more interested in the arts. Beautiful paintings were made,
extravegant sculptures were carved, there were many graceful dancers, and of course
soothing songs were made. The songs at the time were very special because even
though they sounded sad, they always told a story that would make an impression
on people. There was one women, whos name was Wind, sang the most beautifuly of
all. She had many daughters, grandaughters, and so on that all inherited her song
gene.
When the terrible war of the demons took hold, Wind's great, great, great, great,
great grandaughter was killed by a swarm of demons. Surprisingly enough, her daughter
survived and was then raised by a music teacher at the village prayer house. Well
our real story starts when that girl is 18 years old.
"Fuuuuu!" screeched Ms. SongBird.
"Yes Ma'am?" sighed Fuu.
"I want you to sing your favorite song right now, please,"
"But, in front of your students?"
"I want them to learn the correct way to sing the ancient songs," Oh
dear, Fuu thought to herself. She hated singing in front of others. Here go's
nothing she thought. She then closed her eyes and let the words flow out.
"so no me

of astounded faces. When Ms. SongBird was about to speak, a buzz went around the
room.
"She's amazing,"
"No way could we learn that,"
"It was just heavenly,"
"Only Truth could sing like that," that one comment rang through the
air like a giant bell. Fuu was taken back. She was flattered, but hearing the
name Truth reminded her too much about the family she was told she had. Ms. SongBird
knew what Fuu was thinking and broke the silence.
"Yes, she does have an incredable voice, and you all could learn that. That
is why I brought her here. As for being able to sing like Truth, her voice is
quite formidable, but no one could sing like that goddess. I have been around
since then and I know what she sounded like. Thank you kindly for that demonstration
Fuu, you are excused,"
"Yes ma'am," she said sadly. Whenever Fuu is sad she always likes to
go to the top of the tallests hill in the city. It was like a sanctuary to her
where she could just close her eyes and sing her heart out.
little did Fuu know a terrible wind storm was just on the boarder of her precious
city. Ms. SongBird heard the warning and hurried her students into the safe room.
she then went outside to look for Fuu. She saw Fuu on the hill closing her eyes
to sing. Ms. SongBird did not do anything, instead she just stood there and whispered
under her breath,
"Sing Fuu,"
Fuu was ready to let her feelings take flight. She closed her eyes and the words
just came out naturally.
"I want to change the world
su e me u ga su ri
a de i a do a e
o na da na da so ri hu zay
e u a da," as she was singing her body became much lighter, wings sprouted
on her back, and she felt another wind coming from her. This wind was battling
the descending wind storm. with the last of her words, there was one last mighty
push and the wind storm was blown away. Fuu opened her eyes and felt a great power
inside of her, like there was a windstorm inside her body.
Her wings did not disappear right away. They first made a mark on the hill she
is standing on and then left her body. She fell gracefully down to the ground.
That was when she noticed the mark on the hill that had her name on it. That hill
would be later named as Angels Hill.
Ms. Songbird then raced up the hill to take Fuu to a private room, where no one
else would bother her.
"Fuu that was amazing," she gasped. "i knew your song was amazing,
but to sing and push away an oncoming wind storm, such a feat has never been done,"
Fuu was trembling, she didn't know what to say. The event still hadn't sunk in.
"How could I do such thingts?" she asked shaking
"I don't know dear," Ms. Songbird said soothingly, "but why don't
you rest and I'll be with you in a moment," Fuu nodded and laid back down.
Ms. Songbird then scurried out of the room and stood on the hill. Her face wasn't
what it was earlier. Now it was serious and lost in thought.
"I suppose it's time," she muttered to herself looking out into the
far horizon, to the Land of Legends. There at that moment A huge volcano erupted,
a mighty thunder and lighting storm was occuring, a gigantic tornado was sweeping
the land, a terrible monsoon took hold, and a great avalanch came crashing down.
