I never really knew family, my father died when i was young so have very little memories of him. becuase of this i lived the life as a carefree orphan, only looking out for number one. The quint town of Kugnae was a perfect place for a young orphan such as myself to grow up. The area was full of young warriors and rogues seeking adventure. Not being one with big muscles, instead I learnt to use my mind. Often I would be asked to go off on wild quests but these things I did not desire. So I kept to myself and kept training my mind. After A while I learnt to Paralize creatures using my mind and even strike foes from a distance by harnasing magical energies. As i grew i was shut off from the outside world, not wanting to let it in, hiding my emotions was all i had ever know. This landed me in trouble one spring after evening as dusk set in and the forest i was in became dark. no one knew i was there, well because i had no one to tell, no one to worry when im gone. As i walked a heard soft footsteps walking slowely behind me. i dare not look, for only though it was my mind playing tricks. I continues walking but then i heard the growl, the sound i will never forget. I turned round to spot a hungry wolf, teeth on show, ready to attack. as i took up my stance waiting to counter its attack another four wolfs appeared. I could quite easiely take on one but four, id have no chance. It was all over in seconds one attack which i blocked but two flanked me. i knew this was the end. time slowed down, i felt no pain as the gnawing wolf bit into my arm. Blood staining the ground i lay on. ~crack~ One of the wolfs goes flying. "Are you alright boy" said a man on a horse. "He looks pretty bad Captian" said another. I was scooped and slung over a horse. As it started to move, i passed out most likely of blood loss or pain. As i awoke it was bandaged up sitting in a warm bed in some sort of inn. I tried to get up but the pain was unbearable so i lay back down and closed my eye. I was awoken not long after by the man who had saved me. he gave me some wine and explained that he was in the Buyan Army. I wondered why this man i didnt know was being so nice to me. He told me to rest so i lay back down and did. A few days later i was back on my feet. I felt i should do something for the men that saved me so I helped around the barracks. While i worked i started to notice how close everyone was, helping the new cadets even if they were busy. I admired them all but felt out of place, felt that i wasnt part of this world, back to my loner self so under the cover of darkness I ran away. I bearly got outside to the wilderness when i was mugged and left with a swollen eye. I sat and looked up at the stars with no idea where i would go. I heard a voice laugh as it got closer to me "where did you get of to" It was the captain who saved my life. "I dont belong with there, im better of alone. you are like a family and family is something ive never known" I replyed. "Hahaha we are your family then" At first i thought he was joking but to his word i returned in due time i did become part of the family and to think of life without them is unbearable. Family doesnt need to be blood, it really someone who cares for you and looks after you and someone who you know will always be there for you. I know people may have other opinions but this is what family means to me. SonOfStar | |
