'Why.. Why… WHY!!!' Nolan thought 'I.. thought I was powerful.. I thought I could protect them..' Nolan coughs as he turns his head in horror. 'Why.. why is he still here..' The man would pick Nolan up and proceed to throw him. Clang! Crash crash! Boom! Nolan was thrown through multiple buildings and rocks. Nolan would cough again, but this time there was blood.
"Why.. why are you doing this." He barely coughed out. The man would grab Nolan by the hair and smash his head against the ground, over, and over, and over again until his face was swollen and broke. "Yah see here ya little lad, yer god has done sum bery bery bad dings to meh, yah know?". "So, dis is justa' little bitta pay back, yah know?".
A bright light would appear behind the man. "Ah crap, der here." The bright light disappears and a feminine voice could be heard. "For the love of the gods Alrim, I can't cover for you any more. The 'Head' is calling for you." She said "Alright, I'm going, I'm tired of doing that voice anyways, the townsfolk are all dead by now so nobody will know."
Nolan then passed out. A day later, Nolan would wake up in a sleeping bag by a fire. "Where the hell am I?!" A man could be seen sleeping against a rock. He had brown hair in a bun with white skin. The man slowly opened his eyes, they were green. If he didn't have such a chiseled jawline, Nolan would have thought he was a woman.
"It seems you have awoken.." he said "Do you know what happened to you?" Nolan thought about it for a moment, why did that man attack his town? Gods? Alrim? "No, I don't, all I know was that my village was attacked." He said with a slight glint of anger, trying to bottle it inside himself. The man notice this, "Look at the stars, they always cheer me up." He said
Nolan would look at the sky for a few seconds. Then a few minutes, then an hour had passed. "I've calmed down now." Nolan said, turning to look at the man. He was fast asleep, not wanting to disturb the man, Nolan also slept.
In Nolans dream, the memories of his village played, how his parents loved him, how he played this his friends. Then, how the man had killed them, how the man destroyed his home and loved ones. 'Why couldn't I save them..', he thought 'I was a spear prodigy, I was even better then the teachers, why couldn't I save them..'. 'Am I really that weak..?'
Mysterious mans P.O.V:
'He's crying in his sleep..' he thought 'I wonder what happened to him..'. 'What was a kid like him doing out in the middle of the woods anyway, if I wasn't a Demi-god, he probably would have died..' 'I'll ask him when he wakes up, he's probably tired after getting that beating, but who would beat a little boy like that in the woods..'. 'I haven't ruled in centuries, have the times really change that much?..'.
