The tale of the Viper is remarkably unique and unforgettable. Viper was best known for his viciousness and ruthlessness. For a time being it was forbidden to say anything about it because it was rumoured that Viper almost killed everyone of noble descend in the royal palace in one night’s time. However, people today still argue whether or not if Viper should be listed among the greatest heroes or the greatest villains: it was undecided since the day he vanished.
毒蛇的傳説相當的獨特和令人難忘。毒蛇以他的陰險與無情著稱。在一段時間内,人們禁止談論這個話題,因爲有傳言他在一夜之間殺死了皇宮内所有的貴族後裔。無論如何,直到今天,人們依然爭論著毒蛇倒底是偉大的英雄還是的最坏的惡棍;從他消失以來就從未有過定論。
Well, he was not born with the name Viper. He was a bright and intelligent child who loved his mother and father and his little sister,and so it remained that until the day he lost the last member of his family. That day, he completely lost everything he had, even the meaning of life. From that day on, he constantly wondered: Why am I still alive? What do I live for? And it was before long that he realized the answer is vengence. The murder of his family had caused him to cry until he was too tired to stay awake when kids of his age should be sleeping peacefully. It has filled him with rage and live for nothing but hatred. It caused him to become the cruel Viper that roamed the land, day and night, paying back what the murderers had done to his family.
毒蛇這個名字並不是他與生俱來的名字。他也曾經是一個聰明伶俐的孩子,愛他的父母與他年幼的妹妹。這樣的情況一直持續到他失去了最後一個親人的那一天。那一天,他失去了一切,甚至活下去的的意義。從那一天起,他不停的思考著,“爲什麽我還活著?我活著還有什麽意義?”很快他就意識到了答案-復仇。他傢的慘案使得他一直哭泣到無法再抗拒睡意爲止,而像他這樣年幼的孩子本應該安靜的入眠;使得他沖滿了憤怒並只為仇恨活著;使得他成爲殘忍的毒蛇,日夜行走天下,為了報復殺害他傢人的兇手們。
For ten years, his life was simple: wake up, practice swords skill, eat, and sleep… He has mastered the art of patience. When he was halfway through his “letting them pay with their lives”, he met the love of his life. Unbelievable as it is, this girl was the daughter of his enemy murdered his family. This childish and innocent girl had touched his kind and forgiving self and healed the scars in his grieving heart. With the coming of this girl, he had once again seized the meaning of life. The hatred dissolved and a little seed of love settled there. It sprouted and grew into a peaceful flower. As roughly half year passed the flower grew beautiful and strong. He started to help people. He saved many lives from the hand of evil and greed, not to mention the countless warfares and arguments he had settled. He appeared and disappeared from the people’s sights whenever he wanted to. Just when he thought he is the happiest person to have ever lived, misfortune visited for the last time in his life.
Some underlings of the king had found out how pretty his lover was and forced her to go meet the king at the royal palace while he was out paying respect to someone who had once saved him. He was furious when he found out that his loved one had been snatched away. His vengeful self emerged back and anger roared within him again. He tried to rescue her from the greedy hands of the king, but the palace was well guarded. He planned for the second visit to the royal palace the very next night. Seeing the old king within ten feet of reach, dragging his lover in an unmannerly way across the yard, he ran up to them and was about to stab the king with all of his might. Suddenly, a dagger flew out of the darkness and struck the Viper on the back; he froze. He coughed violently and felt the blood drip down his chin. The Viper fled in the darkness. When he came back on the next night, the king was trying to make the girl obedient. She spotted him in the corner. So did the old king. She knew he was going to come. With the bravest voice ever imaginable, she cried, “ Don’t ever let me down!” And then she sliced her wrist with a small knife hidden in the sleeve.
He stared, not knowing what to do. Indeed, his whole world had just collapsed. He became the old ruthless Viper again and slaughtered everyone he could find that is of royal bloodline the night after. Nobody knew how he killed them-hundreds of people in one night’s time without being noticed only after the dead bodies were found.
After that bloody night, he wandered around every minute He did not sleep. He did not eat. He felt more dead than alive. He was ill fated: his family murdered at a very young age; letting the people he loved most in the world die.
He was never seen again. Some says that he died. Others said that he went off to other countries. Therefore everyone who knew him lived and died with fear of him coming back to hunt them down for no reason. The next generations were sternly warned and well taught to keep their mouths shut. And the next. And the next. And so on.
Originally, this is what happened: few days after the king found a pretty girl and brought her to the palace, in the early morning, the guards in the palace were all shouting after they found trails of blood drops extending from building to building. Everyone lived long enough to see the dawn had screamed and cried at the sight of dead corpses lying everywhere. But that was not the worst part. The worst was the blood. Dry blood stuck to most surfaces and flies were buzzing in and out. It was mass ciaos. Nobody knew why that happened. They tried to keep this a secret but the news somehow managed to slip into people’s ears. Soon everybody in the city knew what happened. Words of rumour started to spread to other nearby cities and towns. Someone started the first few parts of this legend based on that infamous bloody night. Other people added to it based on the experiences of others who had interacted with the Viper; be it enemies, people he saved, or even the beggars on the street. Decades later, people are still trying to extend his story based on true facts to find out more about the Viper.
Now, all that is left of the legacy of the Viper is this legend, put together by pieces of information.
