Hope (by ben:))

There he was.Martin was standing still in front of the chest adorned with valuable stones.Except the stones it was a simple box.Even Martin with his purple leather clothes was more charming than this legendary goods that keeps an ancient secret.
He dealt a series of blows to the “Pandora’s Chest”.There was a strange silence underneath the ocean around these two shadows.The blows of his short sword were the only noise throughout the heard world.Although there was no logical explanation, he was able to breathe beneath the water.This ability might be a gift from someone looking after him.Who knows!
He remembered his extremely tiresome journey had brought him to the chest.He had been kept in the dungeons of “Anxiety” for long years.After an exhausting struggle, he had achieved to break the chains made of “Fear”.Then he arrived at the sea of “Be Yourself”.He had to deal with the waves of “Responsibility”, “Love” and “Tradition”.Finally he reached the heart of the ocean where “Hope” had been hidden since Pandora’s first coming to the earth. His last blow broke the lock.The silence got deeper.Martin with his pearl inlaid sword in one hand approached and open the chest.But it was empty.Nothing there was.In spite of this surprising situation he wasn’t confused.Because he had already realized the reality.”Hope” had never been in that box.However Martin had to explore the hope in his heart and he found it by a challenging journey.At that moment there was noone who is more satisfied than him.He would keep this reward “Knowing Himself” as long as the earth exists.
