On a cliff, at the top of The Synthian Mountain, at the very boundary of Synthius and Mor[The Unseen Shadows]
"Kogra!!Talon!!Eric!!Present yourselves!!" Aldrin called.
Kogra, Talon and Eric were Aldrin's guardian's. They were assigned to protect him by someone Aldrin knew nothing about.
"Whatever it is you are yelping about??" a familiar male voice caught Aldrin's attention.
Aldrin turned around to face the person who had just spoken.
There, leaning against a tree, was Eric, sharpening sticks with his dagger and looking as calm and peaceful as ever. Eric was a Harmon, a son and servant of the god of peace, Harmonius. Harmons were peace bringing beasts incarnate. Eric,incarnate, had long snow white hair and coal black eyes. He had a perfectly chiseled body and a beautiful face. He was clad in a pair of pants and a shirt covered by his celestial armour, that was a crimson cloak, that possessed godly powers. He had two swords, sheathed and held two his waist by a leather belt. He looked unusually striking today.
"Eric, I need to tell you guys something" Aldrin said, sitting on a boulder.
"Then you should wait for the others!!" Eric said, sounding unbothered by Aldrin's worries.
"Here we are!!" a female voice rung through their eyes.
Gliding towards them was Kogra,a naga,her green scaled half wriggling as fast as possible. Kogra was half snake half human, one of the many daughters of Serpentino, son of Natyra,goddess of nature. She had long green hair and menacing eyes.
"I'm so glad you came!!Hey!! Wait!!Where is Talon?" Aldrin asked.
Suddenly, the environment was filled with a loud growl and Talon sprang out of the bushes. Talon was a hybrid. He had long coal black hair and golden eyes. He had tiger ears, a tail and sharp claws, plus he was a carnivore. He was one of the many sons of Leo, son of Natyra goddess of nature.
"Somebody mentioned my name!!" Talon said, sitting on his hindquarters.
"We need to talk about something really crucial!!" Aldrin said, standing up.
"Whatever it isss, human!!" Kogra hissed, coiling up.
"My sister approached me today!!" Aldrin said.
"Oh boy!Do you have a sister?" Talon asked, crossing his arms on his chest.
"Several!!From the palace!!" Aldrin replied.
"Oh I see!!" Talon nodded,in agreement.
""But what isss that sssupposed to mean??" Kogra asked, her tail swishing around.
"How am I supposed to know??" Aldrin said, "there are so many questions running through my head!!"
"Come on!!Asssk those questionsss and I will be glad to anssswer!!" Kogra said, clapping her hands together.
Eric, still, was leaning against the tree, sharpening sticks, seeming completely unmoved by the ongoing conversation. He was the toughest and quietest among them and he only did talk sense.
"Why in all blacksmiths did she choose to come to my father's shop??What was she even doing in Synthius?? Doesn't she think I killed our father??Why did she sound completely hurt??What if she finds out who I am??.....
"Wait!!Wait!!Wait!!Ssso what you are trying to sssay is your sssister sssaw you??" Kogra cut him off.
"Yes!!" Aldrin nodded.
"That can't be a good sssign!!" Kogra pinched her chin.
"Wha...what are you talking about??" Aldrin asked,puzzled.
"There is a lot you need to know, human!" Eric finally spoke, dropping the sticks he'd been sharpening and sheathing his dagger.
"Like what??" Aldrin asked.
"First you have to tell me a few things you remember!?" Eric said, sitting on a rotting log, "and I'll tell you openly what I know!!"
"What exactly do I have to remember??" Aldrin asked, sitting on a boulder.
"Do you remember what exactly happened on the day you witnessed your father's death??" Eric asked.
"Here we go!!" Talon said.
"Oh yes I do!!" Aldrin said.
"Now I want you to remember everything that happened!!" Eric said.
"Oh yes I do remember everything!! It's been haunting me for years!!" Aldrin said.
"Do you remember anything ssstrange??" Kogra asked.
'Oh yes!! Everything about that day was very strange!!" Aldrin said, remembering the incident.
"Like what!!" Eric asked.
"That day, a tall strange man entered my father's chambers.I was hiding in his closet.The man held my father in a headlock and asked him for something called the black ruby which my father didn't give him and he stabbed him. My father didn't fight back!!" Aldrin said, recalling and demonstrating the incident.
"What else did you see??" Eric asked, "something except all that!!"
"Oh!!Let me remember!!" Aldrin scratched his head, "Ha!Yeah!!I did see something in my father's curtains!!"
"Did you see what it was??" Talon asked.
"It looked like a human being, cringing in fright!!" Aldrin said.
"Ha!!That was a spell!!" Eric laughed, jumping. up.
"Whoa!!Wait!!What are you talking about??" Aldrin asked, standing up.
"Can you remember anything from your childhood?? Anything before that incident??" Eric asked.
"Actually...I don't remember a thing!!" Aldrin drawled.
"Clearly, that was a spell!!" Eric said.
"Could you please explain what exactly you're trying to mean??" Aldrin begged.
"Since you can't remember a thing, I'll tell you something!!That day, your father had already known about it that he was going to die and he didn't want you, his extra marital son to witness it. So he sought out a sorcerer and asked him to make him Memorium!!....."
"What is Memorium??" Aldrin asked.
"Memorium is a simple word for a certain portion that wipes out one's memory and creates another memory!!" Eric said.
"What he isss trying to say isss,human, your father usssed a portion on you!! Which meansss all that you remember about your father's death is not real!!"
"But..but...but why would he do that?Why would he wipe out my memory and create another memory!! Why would he do that??I... I... don't understand.Why would he do that??" Aldrin asked, the words Eric had just said running through his head.
"And once that spell is finally broken, you will be introduced to the arms of danger where there will be many foes coming after you for a reason I myself can't tell."
