The Adventure of You and the Treasure

One day, you reach the secret dark forest of a secret land, which some of you will probably never reach. You take out your sword and dash into a hole you found to retrieve treasure. In the hole you took out your sword and you began to thrust hard to the ground. Oh it is so hard to penetrate the ground.

As you continued to thrust, you began to find that you have reached the treasure. It is locked in a case. In order to break open the lock, you take out your gun, and you want to shoot it. But right before you shoot it, you realize one thing. The bullet might ricochet and damage you. Quickly, you kept your gun and ran out of the hole to get some armor for protection.

However, right when you are out of the hole, you find another hunter. You notice that this person has a much larger and thicker sword and is wearing armor. It is not a sword, it is more like a iron rod. He begins to swing his rod towards you. To protect yourself, you use you sword, and when both sword and rod touch, you feel an immense pressure.

However, as you were fighting, you noticed that the guy has a weakness. He has a hole in his armor at the back. Knowing that you cannot hold it anymore, you decide to change your strategy. You decided to backdoor the guy. Very swiftly, you pounced to his back and you took out your gun and BAM. Your bullet penetrated him from the back, right through his protection.
'Ahh..ahh..ouch...' He moaned.
'Wooo!!! In your face!' You yelled.

You have survived this swordfight, and beat the enemy. You took his protection, and wore it. It didn't matter that it was slimy, but you want it anyway. Quickly you left him, and used your remaining strength to get back into the hole, and you reloaded your gun, and shot the lock. BAM. Inside the treasure chest, you realize that there is a note.

The note says,
"Thou hast wasted time in thy quest for nothing, for I, the one that thou just slain was a mere distraction in thy mission. Knowst that true treasure is thy time. Thus the saying, treasure thy time."

Shocked and furious, you screamed. You took your sword and you broke it in half. The pain of all this, all for a note. You close your eyes, and you sit down in despair. You sat for some time, and as you open your eyes, you realize that what was in the note was indeed true. Cruel, but true. An important treasure has been recovered. One that is simple, yet not simple.

Slowly, you stood up. You realize that you have a shorter sword, an gun with blanks. But you have learnt that nothing can stop you to achieve your goals. All you need is to manage your timing, and that the next time you will just shoot and you will not miss. Slowly, you walked out of the hole. Perhaps one day, you will find another forest, with another hole, with another treasure. And this time, you will know to wear protection, and to shoot quickly.
