En confronts Veksiege and it's the beginning his long journey. He immediately ask for direction to a Military Personnel, then he was direct to the office for information. En can't explain the feeling just being in Veksiege, People from different nation, with different beliefs, and different looks. Clearly there is no discrimation and no hatred between each other, even the rival in war became friends. All these things happening on Veksiege confused En, growing up in his town knowing Veksiege is a savage land, full of hatred and anger. He picture Veksiege as a Milestone of War, where people were held captives and guarded by strict rules.
Veksiege is really the center for economy, where trades and negotations are settled. The image of Veksiege has really changed from being a warzone to a trade center but En don't know about the dark secret of Veksiege, People call it "The Sword". Trades were negotiated in the whole town including the sewers and the dump places of Veksiege.
En goes to the office for information, while his in there he met a guy named Vesh, he is a Centurian. Centurians are like bounty hunter who hunt people for a reward money. En ask Vesh about how to become a hunter, Vesh told En he should attend the Hunter Class in Veksiege. En decides to sharpen his knowledge by attending class to maximize his chance on achieving his goal, Vesh then direct En to an apartment where he can stay.
En will attend class on Veksiege Educational Facility for 2 years after that he can choose if he can continue his study, become a soldier or something else. En plans to be a hero, he dreamed about doing something more for his country, for the people and for him. En wants to see his parents, he wants to see what he is destined to do and what he needs to do, and to do that he feels he needs to be in Veksiege. En plans to visit Edtwille but he want to be in Edtwille when he already achieve his goal.
After 2 months of studying En became popular in terms of educational achievements, he is one of the smartest student in his batch. He became familiar about Veksiege, the directions, the places, the history and even the people. Vesh became his older brother teaching him things about education and even survival. One day Vesh left Veksiege for a mission, He were appointed as representative by the Veksiege General to attend a council meeting held by the High General.
En realizes that his starting to achieve his dream, He feels that this is the right thing to do. Getting into Veksiege was easy for En, what he is thinking is how can he get out. How can he leave Veksiege, will he leave Veksiege with a rifle in his hand or a book in his bag. The only thing he guarantee is that Veksiege knows the secret about his past and who he really is.

Chapter II: A little bravery
Veksiege is one of the main city in the land, the center of transaction because of its great accessibility. People were busy about everything, this is where money became the center of attention, where rich people try to earn more and poor people try to make a living. The town itself never sleeps the guards are shifted 3 times a day, the doors were always open, and the lights never turned off. When the war started the government instructed military troops to arrest suspected rebels and terrorists. Veksiege then became a fortress, security is very strict no one can pass with out the identity band made by the government itself. From Veksiege people can go to other places by renting a wagon or setting sail in the ocean, that's why people are eager to visit the main city.
En was born in the town of Veksiege, his father grew up in the main city and got assigned when he became the head general. En's mother is from small of town of Kui, the farthest small village in the north from Veksiege she is the town's trade representative that's why she is always in Veksiege. When the war started Veksiege wasn't able to protect itself from the terrorists, they took the main city killing all the soldiers and imprisoning the women and children it was the death of Veksiege. While the main city is in the hands of the terrorists, En and his mother reached the gates of Edtwille.
Before going through a journey En took time to think about the future, he knew that in Veksiege there are higher education that can help him grow, because there are no higher education in Edtwille that's one reason why he leave and he wants Edtwille to be proud of him someday. Another reason is to find his destiny, to help people specially those in need. Eventhough he never heard about Liu, his hope never fades he will try everything to find him.
The night before he left, En saw a man in his dreams walking towards the gate of Veksiege that's why he decide to leave Edtwille because he knew his destination. In Veksiege you got to choose in many branches of higher education, from medical fields, political fields, military, business or even wizardry and incantations. People uses education, power based on financial resources or political level, physical strenght and magic for them to survive.
En started to walk north, its a 2 day walk north from Edtwille to reach Veksiege that night En reached the small town of Hindt, where people stop by to reach Veksiege. En decided to stay there and continue his journey tomorrow.
At midnight someone knocked on the door, En opened it and saw a woman crying. The woman named Ana told En that his son is missing and ask him for help, En accepted her request and begin searching for the child. The first place they check is the whole town, the road and then the woods. Hope was starting to fade but En remain focused on searching, as they walk through the deeper part of the woods they saw the child sleeping beside a bear.
En were scared but he realizes what he needs to do, he sneak as he try to get the child. He was successful retrieving the child but then the bear woke up, En and the bear stared to each other the bear backs off and leave.
When the sun rises En is ready to continue his journey, Ana then thanks him for saving her son and gave him a pass to Veksiege. Before leaving Hindt En went to the woods and feed the bear, even if the bear can't speak En can felt it.
En realizes that his visit to Hindt, he earned a little bravery that can be useful for his long journey. He continue to walk north and hope to reach Veksiege before night, the pass Ana gave him will be an essential thing for En because Veksiege only allows those who have pass to enter the main city.
En don't know what can happen to Veksiege but he is excited what can he do or learn in the main city. He needs to learn a lot about the world and the reality, to do that he thinks confronting Veksiege will be a way.

Chapter I: The Silent Genesis
Many of us ask thinks about life why do we live? Why do we breathe? What is our purpose? We tried to walk our path, even if we don't know what the right way is. We just let the wind carry us, let the crowd around us decide, but we always wonder about life. Who are we? What are we? We always describe life like the things that we see around us, life is like a tree, life is like a highway, a leaf, or even a single teardrop. Life is like anything we see but it depends on how we appreciate it and on how we look at it and we need to accept that every life has its own ending.
In the town called Edtwille there is a man, who lives a life full of questions that no one in the town can answer, questions that shadowed his identity and life with doubt and confusion. En Nagali never met his family he grew up knowing Edtwille his home and Liu Nagali his father. Everyone knew what happen that night when En came to Edtwille in the midst of war and controversy, still En is accepted as a son of Edtwille.
En was born on a stormy night of September 21, the only son of the general, a rich and well known person. The General was so happy En came to his life, though identity of En’s mother is left unsaid to anyone. A week after En was born, the dark side wage war to everyone for an attempt to take over the world, everyone have no choice but to leave their home and find refuge somewhere, the army of peace makes defense turning cities into fortress against the dark side. The General lead a force to defend Veksiege, the main city, Dia, The General’s Secretary took care of En. After two weeks the war still continues; and news spread a large raid of dark side will target Veksiege from any direction. The remaining civilians in Veksiege have no choice seek refuge as well like the others. The General told Dia “Ride the wagon and go as far as you can go away from Veksiege, keep En safe no matter what.” Dia asked the general to come with her but the general decline “I’m sorry I have to defend Veksiege at any cost.” The General make his farewell to En then the wagon rushed through the woods away to Veksiege as fast as it can go until there is no site of the main city.
After hours of travelling away from Veksiege, a huge smoke came from the sky in the direction of the main city maybe signals that the dark side attacks on Veksiege started. Meanwhile a group of soldier ambushed the wagon all the people inside were held hostage. Dia quickly run through the forest but suffer a cut wound at her back. Dia forcefully run not thinking about the wound at her back, after hours of walking through the forest Dia walk across a man and fainted because of fatigue and severe blood loss. The man carry Dia and En back to his village then place Dia to a medical facility; while in the facility Dia told the man everything, about En and the war against the dark side then ask the man to look after En. The next day Dia died of septicemia since then Liu, the man who helped Dia took care of En. En became a son of Edtwille, Liu never forgot that night and plan to tell En everything when the time comes.
En learned how to walk before reaching 1 year old, but never speak any word. At the age of 3 he walk the woods alone, leaving the townspeople searching for him. At the age of 5 he was able to speak after hearing a roar in front of a tiger in the woods, the tiger then became his friend and he name it Tig. The day he reaches 7 while the whole town celebrates his birthday, soldiers came and announce a search for rebels. The Edtwille people kept their head down knowing there is no one who rebelled against the government. After an hour of search the soldiers apprehend Lio and 5 others, the townspeople don't know what to do they were armed. En cried for losing Lio at his side, and that day he realize he have to do something.
After that day En became different, he always thinks no one knows what he was doing but he got every person in Edtwille worried about him. Everyday En remains silent, nodding became his only reaction. In the mourning you'll see him running all over the town, in the afternoon sitting by the tree near the town's entrance and at night wondering the woods. The townspeople miss En's smile, his laugh, his words and his different reaction to everything. Only one remain on En's side and its Tig, who maybe can felt En's emotion, his guilt, and anger.
After 6 months of silence En realizes he can do something different, for the people, for Lio and for himself. He then became very focus on everything, He set a goal but no one knows what it is. He finished primary and secondary education at Edtwille. 10 years after his 7th birthday he decided to achieve his goals. He talked to the town's leaders and ask their reaction to his decision, after a moment of discussion the town leaders approve what En is planning they supported him. Everyone was curious why En entered the leaders hall, no one knows about En's plan except for the town's leaders.
Rumor spread that En is leaving the town for good, some said his going to rescue Lio and the others. Many rumors came to the minds of the townspeople, the son of Edtwille is leaving it is sad but inevitable.
After a week the town's leaders requested everyone to go to the Town Hall, as En will announce his plan. En starts speaking and said the following words, " People of Edtwille I En will leave this town for good, I don't assure my return but I will do this for this is the right thing to do. Many of you may called me " the son of Edtwille " and most of you may think I'm important but the truth is I'm not. I realize that all of us make this town, I realize that each of us has a role in this town and all of you are Important. All I want to do is to go where I'm supposed to go, help those in need and catch those goals I set for myself. Do me a favor Edtwille For now on call me " En The Catcher ". The townspeople was surprise, some of them were crying and some of them were disappointed but after En's speech was over all of them were clapping and cheering for En.
After that day En packed his things and leave Edtwille, his first direction is to find Veksiege, the main city the town where he was born. En left Edtwille with his parting words,
" Life is like a book, every page has a different content as you turn the page. you have to move on and create another chapter. Each book has its typographical errors, wrong grammars, and misspelled words and these are the obstacle we must get through. The friends we have in our life is the contributors or the references, and all the people around you are the readers waiting for you to make a difference on their life. You can move back to the previous page but you can't change what is already written. Every book has an ending and everyone should find their own ending, and remember when you make a difference in someone's life you'll always going to be remembered. farewell Edtwille ".
