Foreign Men and Hagai Khan


A little boy ran to his father, in a field of flowers. The little girl hid under her father's cloak. His father's position facing the rising sun immediately turned around.


“I came to him” said a young man on his knees.


The little girl behind her father's robe peeked in fear.


It looked like a man, wearing a grey lamb fur coat. The man's hair dangled occasionally flying because of the breeze in the flower field.


“What's up?” ask another man he calls.


“No movement in the port. Reconnaissance has been stopped” said the long-haired man still bent one leg. Dare not look at the figure before him.


“You can choose not to report. Nothing will hold you here” said he smiled warmly.


The long-haired man was allowed to leave the flower fields located in other parts of the East Asian continent.


The sun was shining but the air around the place was still cold. The people in that place were wearing coats made of fur and steam would come out of their mouths as they spoke.


All the world is busy talking about their tribe which is said to conquer the world despite their very small numbers. They are inhumane butchers, they can disappear, able to separate the head from the human body and even eat and drink raw meat.


But one year ago, a seemingly desperate man sought their whereabouts. His last moments there appeared a blizzard so fierce and rain arrows. He was injured and drowned on the ice.


When the man awoke, he realized he was in a butcher's nest whose descent was told like a legend in mainland Asia. “I Hagai Khan” said the man in a friendly voice and a friendly smile.


The foreign man then knelt down to beg for mercy at the feet of Hagai Khan.Hagai again smiled. News of the violence of their people had spread all over the world but he remained silent without the slightest feeling of greatness.


“Truely the man before him is a person who does not hesitate to eat liver and drink blood?” the stranger was in disbelief.


Haggai asked him to stay until he recovered. One more month this blizzard will pass. He can leave the people. A month that completely changed his life and his thinking. There was no war and no bloodshed on the land. The wolf will not bark if it is not disturbed. As long as he is asleep, alive, and eating quietly then, during that time he will try to keep nature balanced.


During his time there, the foreign man was taught how to survive the winter, hunt and preserve game, poisonous plants that were processed into food, knit, and process the fleece into clothing. Now he understood why they were feared. Their survival skills are not mere nonsense, they learn from nature and are endowed with a vast science of nature.


When spring comes, everyone gathers in front of the bonfire and tells about the history and culture of their people. Stories passed down from ancestors are narrated back to the children and parents of the place. That night, the stranger stripped behind the arms of the women and children. Why is his little daughter afraid of him? he was very small when the stranger left, his memory was not yet perfectly formed when the foreign man helped his mother put the beautiful baby to sleep. Time passed by so quickly and he had to travel a long way to get home.
