Chapter 2 - The Peaceful Life As A Child

Within three months time I was able to walk using my new body. My parents were surprised and overjoyed. My sister were happy for me being able to walk instead of crawling everywhere.

But that raises a question in the minds of the adults present in the room. How could this had happened. Normally a child wouldn't be able to walk or even leave their cradle before the tender age of three.

Even on abnormal accounts of so called prodigies or a child with more intelligence compared to others. They must at least let their brains to develop first as a child before being able to use their intelligence.

Even the most abnormal cases. The babies will walk at the age of two. It is unprecedented for a baby who aren't even a year old to even be able to move to much on their own.

The thought raises over the minds of the maids working in the house. Cleaning and looking after me from time to time. They often wonder is there something weird that's been going on with me.

However odd it may have been, to my parents and sister it was a joyful gift. They were really happy they could see me as I take my first steps on this world I was born into.

Lisa was thrilled the same as my sister was. She dotes on me a lot. My sister often plays house with Lisa,when my sister finished her training.

They were the closest of friends you would find in the entire village.

12 Years Later

It was my 12th birthday. My mother gave me a magical spell book as a gift for me.It was healing magic that my mom would often use. She hoped that I could learn magic, so that I could heal my sister when she's wounded.

My father gave me a Shield made of steel. It's in beaded with my family crest. The Guardian wolf Fenrir.He told me that I should protect those who are close to me. And to always find peace in times of conflict.

My Big sister Elise, She gave me an iron sword. Which complemented my father's gift. She'd often encourage me to go with her and father when they go out hunting.

Lisa gave me a small pendant. She told me that it was for good luck. I kept it at my person at all times every since. I always hoped that it would aid me in my life thus forwards.

Little did I know. There was a hidden meaning behind her gift to me. She blushes as she gave me the pendant. I thank her with a grateful smile on my face the smile of an innocent child.

For years since I was a five year old boy. My father would train me in single handed swordsmanship rather than two handed wielding like my sister does.

Originally he was afraid that I was to weak to use a two handed sword so he trained me starting with a one handed sword.

At the first day of training I simply swing a killing strike towards the dummy. When my father saw my swordsmanship he was shocked. The swordsmanship I displayed to him was specifically refined for killing the enemy without doubt nor fear.

Originally he was scared of my monstrous talent for killing. However then he simply sighed and say.

" Well that's my son for ya. "

" Really talented like his elder sister. "

After that event my father would often put me in a sparring match against my elder sister.

In battle she would often charged at me with a high tenancy. She would attack me at first sight like hungry beast pouncing on its prey.

She dashed towards me, with a fierce passion. She wanted to show of her skills that she had honed for years. She wanted to show me her superiority against me her younger brother.

But sadly her tenancy and talent at swordsmanship is nothing when faced against my overwhelming speed and perfection in my times from the battlefield.

I stepped slightly to the side as she jumped towards me with sword in hand. I hit her hand and she trips into the ground.

She shocked by what happened. In a blink of an eye she fell down to the ground. She didn't even see what happened.

One second she was swinging her swords running towards me. Watching me being helpless in front of her eyes. Then suddenly I disappeared from right in front of her and she felt pain on her hand.

She thought hard to remember what just happened. She thought this was going to be an easy victory for her. But instead a crushing defeat for her in my hands.

Every since that faithful day she would challenge me every day to a duel. And every time we fought and sparred. I would claim the ultimate victory against her over and over again.

But that didn't stop her from training to her hearts content. It felt exciting like never before she faced an opponent with absolute power in front of her an opponent she knew she were never going to win against, yet she fought on.

With every time we spent together the closer we became. She would often stay close to me on a daily basis both day and night. She would often compete with Lisa to be by my side.

I simply thought that they want to be close to me but turns out it wasn't as simple as it might seem. Elise and Lisa both wanted to monopolize me for them selves. They wanted to spend more alone time with me, just the two of us as you might say.

The three of us became closer and closer as time went by. I felt comfort when we're together.A comfort I've never felt in my previous life.A comforting feeling of a girls embrace.Little did I know they felt affectionate towards me in a different way.

In a more affectionate and intimate way.
