Chapter 22 - Story telling

Manuel was already walking towards Lesley's house but again people were giving him a look of a disgusting creature. He felt kind of creepy feeling from them. That makes him want to hide from them.

"Get out of our village," A woman said throwing a tomato on Liam's chest. staining it with red.

"Leave, no one need you here," Another man said throwing a rock on Liam's head. There was a little drip of blood where it landed but Manuel just continued walking towards Lesley's house.

Like a wave. The first-come then a second one follows. Many people were now throwing something towards Manuel. They didn't care about their own appearance. Just to get rid of him.

Manuel bit his lips on what he was seeing. They didn't deal that much damage but still hurts him inside. They eventually stop following me seemingly know where I was going.

The last one who left me alone was the same child that beat me to the ground. "Your luck is about to end watch yourself b*tch" he said before leaving.

Manuel knock on the door and waited for it to open. He heard footsteps on the other side of the door and like the wind it opened up.

Liam saw a beautiful older woman in her later 30s. "Oh, Manuel you're here! Eh, why are you covered in dirt all over you?" She said getting a towel and wiping my face off of dirt.

tears slowly drip down from his eyes. As the feeling of motherly love was giving him memories of his late mother. Lesley seeing this just carcass Liams head. She didn't even care about the dirt all over him.

"Has it been hard? Well, would you like me to tell you why they hated you?" Lesley said wiping Manuel's tears with a smile on her face.

"pls, I would like to know," He said walking into the house filled with greenery and animals. She loves nature very much as everything around her was made from wood or plants.

There were very different kinds of plants and flowers in the house one of them is her price possession. Sunset flower. It's a flower that only blooms every sunset and withered away like the sunset.

We came towards the living room filled with different kinds of insects. The air was pretty sweet and calming to the minds. She already gave Manuel a change of wear and already change them.

They were beautiful white-gray in color. Manuel seat beside miss Lesley like a child. Well, he is in the body of a child almost at 14 to 16 years old.

Lely only smiled towards Manuel then patting his head. "Now let's start with a story, shall we? Before I teach you anything else" She said getting some tea and slowly drinking it.

Manuel just waited for her to finish. Once she was done drinking some tea she first offered Manuel if he wanted one. Manuel Just shook his head wanted to hear the story.

Miss Lesley chuckled a little bit it made Manuels face a little red. "Story pls?" He said begging for the story.

"Ohh fine well where should we start," She said narrating everything from start to finish.

===

She said that my father uses to be one of the kings also known as the 5th king. He was once a warrior for justice. He was kinds and helpful. The land prospers because of him.

But one daw. The land slowly turned to snow all around. Manuel's father didn't know what to do. So he asks the other kings. They said that a snow demon has come to the lands bringing endless snow.

He asked them if they could help him. But they all just said one word that Manuel's father can't deny. "Contract," They all said bringing a headache to Manuel's father.

It is said that they can't meddle in any earthly issues. Only the new kings can do it. Thus Manuel's father asks them where was the snow demon. and they did tell them.

"Endless darkness" Said the first king

"No light can be seen" Said the second king

"Follow the breeze" Said the third king

"Beneath the earth," Said the fourth king.

"That's the only thing we can say" They said in sync then Manuel's father left that place and headed towards where the breeze is going.

He mumbles to himself. "No light can be seen as its an endless darkness. It is where the wind blows but it's beneath the earth"

Manuel's father's eyes sparkle and greedily headed in the direction of The mountain of everlasting darkness. It is where no light can seep trou.

As the mountain itself is made from trees. It is a plat land covered it trees as tall as the mountain and as lush as water.

It's a jungle but they call it a mountain. Just by how tall the trees were and no ordinary animals and monsters can survive.

When Manuel's father got there the place was now frozen. It looks just like Mount Everest. A land filled with snow and ice.

Manuel's father only sighs and went inside the mountain well forest of ice mot longs after. He found the snow demon and battle it out. Miss Lesley said she didn't know the details but.

All things she knows was their battle lasted for a week without rest.

Then after the battle, Manuel's father was left standing in the ruins of the once lush thick jungle also known as the mountain of endless darkness.

In the end, he wasn't able to kill the snow demon. Just imprison him and seal 3/4 of his power. Before the snow demon was imprisoned he made a curse on Manuel's family.

That his son will die after a few years. Without any hesitation, Manuel's father took his own life in change for Manuels.

As the king's life was taken the curse of the demon was lifted and all who love Manuel's father hated his son the most.

Especially the remaining kings as they can't protect the people below them. They can only watch until a new king is born.

"Thats the end of it" She said while keeping that smile on her face while sipping tea. Placing her teacup on the table she ask me.

"Where you surprise?" She ask with kind of helplessness on her face.

"kind of yea" Manuel said again thinking over and over what she said. Lesley just stared at him with sorrowful look.

"I mean why are they mad at me? For my fathers death?" I ask again a little bit angry. 'Thats just stupid. It isin't there own life after all. No one can go again a king...Ring?"

He thought to himself poundering over what Leslely said.

Miss lesley seeing this just sigh. "Well then lets go back to teaching you chall we? What is it again? Ohh yes a contract!" She said happily. "Ok" Manuel said nodding his head in agreement.

Miss Lesley begone to teach Manuel how to form a contract on his own. There where some difficulty as it is a Magicians spell after all.

Manuel just need to learn the webbing of the spell. So it's much easier for him. In this world magicians was very different compared to warriors or other player magicians who can intanly lear skills.

For Npc how ever needed to read a whole lot of books and needed to master magician webbing. Even the most powerful magician in all the lands hasen't finish one book out of two.

After sometime Manuel finally learned the skill he needed. After finishing a sound of notification sounded on his head. He smiled. "Looks like I can have a party after all"
