In a bed San woke up, he freaked out and started to panic and lose it all but then Lived appeared, he calmed him down.
"Everything is OK now".
"Nobody is gonna take you, you are under my protection, I will protect you".
Lived took San in his arm and stroked him, San starts to get emotional and remembering what has happened until now brings him to tears.
Calming the traumatised boy, "Let it all out, boy"
"I am sure you are tired of being weak, so let us work together and fight the evil in this land".
"Never be scared again, let those tears become your weapon, you are a strong young man".
***********
San and Lived both were in an abandoned small house, in the forest.
After being calmed down by Lived, he sat down by a fire created by Lived, gathering woods in the forest.
[STEPPING]
"Huh?"
"Mister, welcome back, do you have something to eat?"
With the surprising face, he thought to himself, "Am I a bad guy?", "For leaving a kid the whole evening hungry?"
Then he told San, "Well, I have nothing to offer you but I will bring you some now, I promise".
Lived put the woods on the ground and throw two in the fire, "When the fire lowers just throw in some woods and don't hurt yourself until I come back".
"Ok".
[WALKING OUT]
[DOOR SLAM]
**********
After stepping out in the forest, looking for something to eat, he could not find anything good.
Then he stumbled upon a farm, he saw lambs and sheep sleeping there, he was thinking to take one without asking for it but then his heart told him, to ask for it first.
[KNOCKED ON THE DOOR]
[FOOT STEPS]
Sighs...
"Who is it on this hour?"
An Oldman who was on his got off and walked down the stairs but was not even mad at the fact it was sleep time.
With a kind smile, he opened the door to see an Oldman too, "What does an Oldman want from me at this hour?"
The only word that Lived hate is being called old, well however he controlled himself to not rage out.
"Listen, Oldman, I want to take one of your lambs, me and my boy are alone and we were hungry but didn't want to take the lamb without asking then it would be called stealing, something we are not".
...
The Oldman of the farm laughed it off and said, "For an Oldman, you sure have some energy to talk, well I have a granddaughter when she gets hungry I get worried too, so I feed her always with what we have at home, she likes to eat a lot but does not get fat I don't know why?"
Hahaha...
Lived to keep himself together, "My question was can I take one?"
Hoho, "Of course you can, indeed doing a single good deed then God will grant me more than the deed was worth, so please feel free and take it."
Lived to step away slowly heading to the sheep, "Well thanks Oldman and just so you know"...Being shy he continued..."I may look young but I am young in my heart".
The farm owner smiled and said to him, "Aren't we all", [SMILE].
****
Lived took a lamb and went back to the forest, he went to the small cabinet in the forest where San is.
As he entered he saw in the cabinet 100s of woods, "where did you get all of these?", then San replied, "Welcome back Mister, I thought to help you and brought this much woods so that you may not be tired".
With a blank face Lived continued, "Well... you see we will leave this place after feasting".
With a surprised and tired face, San said, "Really", "Did I let him down", thought Lived to himself.
Lived- "Well we never know we may return so it will be really dry by then and I am grateful for that".
"I won't be tired the next time I come".
"Really?", "Yes and let's clean this mess and prepare the feast.
[SMILES]
**********
After they ate all the lamb meat, San & Lived headed out, Lived talked to San on the way out, "We will now go to the Realm of "Tarik" a Realm where only users of darkness can travel too".
Then San asked, "why?"
Lived- "We need a quiet place to train you, so this is the best place I could think of, There we can fight & destroy everything in our sight, no one will be distrusted".
San- "How long will we train there???"
Lived- "How old are you???"
San- "Twelve".
Lived- "Then I will train you, till your 19, A perfect age to come back to the world, stronger than ever".
San was stunned by the words he heard, then bumped into Lived, as he made a stop and was looking at a tree that was covered in darkness.
"It is complete now, Follow me, Kid."
Trusting the man, he followed Lived without hesitation.
[Entered the World of Tarik]
[They both left, the Realm of Mrov]
After leaving the realm of Mrov, until and after then they did not notice they were being spied on by Assasins of the Natsidruk island.
"They left, what should we do sir?"
"let's report to the Prince".
[ALL TOGETHER]
"Yes sir."
********
The unknown Assasins went to an island called the Natsidruk, in a castle they walked, room to room, the head of the Assasins walked into a specific room.
A room different from all others, from the room an aura of ominous was emerging, however, from it, you could feel the loneliness.
As he looked in the room, no one seemed to be there, until he looked in the balcony.
As he went there he kneeled & said, "Dear Prince, it pains me to inform you that your son was taken to an Unknown Realm through a Dark portal made by Lived of the Shidruk family..."
"...but as far as we have observed he was a good man, who fed him & saved him from the nobles of Peer family".
...
"What are your orders, my Prince?".
The Prince showing no expression, said, "Leave him be".
With a stunning face he followed the order and said, "As you wish my Prince, I will take my leave now".
The Prince looked at the sky, as the wind waved his hair, he breathed & a tear fall from his right eye.
A tear of happiness.
