Asaki

The Boy Who Was Broken

As they traveled further south they soon found a river, rushing and dangerous. Asaki saw the newly-afraid mankind balk at his waters and laughed. He appeared before them, a young boy of no more than 10, and jumped over his waters, telling them that in order to truly live they must take risks. And the first of the travelers jumped over, he cleared the wide river with ease. The second man, emboldened by the first’s success, attempted the jump, but he did not make it, and his corpse was rushed away in the river. Asaki then told the travelers about the other part of risk, that sometimes you must fail. Mankind looked distraught, for they had already lost many to Haidar, so Asaki promised that if mankind would always take risks, he would carry their dead to his mother Sar-aya, no matter where they were placed in his waters. Mankind agreed, and so Asaki also accidentally taught them the ways of business.
