Now as most of you would have guessed by now the life of a small child isn't very exciting.
It was basically storytelling all the time about knights and ogres and such. I mean I'm a baby the biggest challenge I'm having is getting my limbs and such in proper working order.
The rest of my time was spent being fed or changed or sleeping as being a baby is actually really tiring you run out of energy fast.
I would meditate whenever I had free time such as at night or during nap time after I woke up.
When I had spare time I would visit my inner world. It was where I could go in spiritually and Cassie would show me how to perform moves with my meteor hammer and read to me.
of course I couldn't use the meteor hammer as I can't even lift my head properly but that doesn't mean she can't teach me how to maintain weapons and with oil and such to keep them from rusting. She knew everything and performed it perfectly.
When the meteor hammer got boring she would teach me hand to hand techniques.
Of course I couldn't use them but watching them performed is also a way of learning.
The greatest day of my life came when I finally 6 months later I was allowed to drink magic beast milk and eat things like mushed fruits and veggies. No more breastfeeding. I could also say very simple words as my voice box was still growing it was more like garbled babytalk.
Around 4 months later I could walk with great difficulty and had to be helped at times. You ever try to carry a massive fucking head with zero leg strength it's hard and I fall alot.
My routine didn't change much besides getting read more baby style books and being carried to go shopping at the local street market sometimes.
This life continued up until I was about 4. Then mother started to sit me down and help me read and do math and stuff like that I picked it up very easily which delighted her. I mean it's not like I graduated high school or anything in my past life or went to college for a while.
They also started to teach me meditation which I already knew and encouraged me to play outside a little more of course under their watch and their companions keen eyes.
They tried to guide me to do basic exercises as fun games but i already knew what they were doing.
I had a perfect guide to body training I had already read over and I was pretty much broke so I made them a deal.
"I will do a few hours of exercises every day but I would like an allowance." I asked my father.
"Oh and what do you plan to buy with an allowance." he asked curiously.
I gave the classic kid reply. "Sweets."
he just laughed "Alright Frank will watch over you and tell me if you did your exercises." he says as the big earth bear lumbers over and gives my head a big slobbery lick.
"Ewww." I say wiping away bear spit and getting two gruff chuckles in return.
That's how I won a coin a day for doing exercises I was already gunna do.
We are poor so money is money.
I didn't want to plant tons of stuff and overburden Cassie she has a nice routine going and I'd like to not ruin that.
I did have a small collection of books though in my inner world. Ranging from cooking to farming to recognizing rare plants. Knowledge is power my friends and when you have almost nothing to do for years you get mighty bored and it's not like they have TV or Radio and I can't just pop out items in front of them without having to answer some odd questions.
With a book in my inventory I could mentally read it they just thought I was meditating or napping alot.
My exercises slowly increased and my dad started to teach me fighting moves. Being a well known adventurer he was a wellspring of knowledge. It was only hand to hand stuff though as mom threatened to castrate him if he gave me a sharp weapon.
He took her words very seriously she was a highly overprotective mother. Her Falcon Eric was always on watch for me aswell.
I once watched him slice a stray dog in half with a wind blade when it got into the yard and tried to bite me. Gory stuff man.
Mother practically smothered me in worry.
Over the years they had saved up money for me to be able to go to the academy after the awakening ceremony. The academy was in town and a few blocks away. I would be able to come and go each day of course escorted by parent or earth bear and wind falcon.
You think my mother is letting me go anywhere alone at 6 you must be crazy.
Soon it was time for the awakening ceremony to decide my fate. My parents had bets on if I'd become a fighter or a mage.
I was dressed up in brand new clothes. All ready for my big day. My parent seemed about ten times more excited than i was. My dad was practically skipping in joy. I seriously wondered who the adult was here.
We made our way to the kingdoms registry building for the ceremony.
