Mother found me and Rachel shortly after we had fallen asleep, she shook us awake with a kind smile on her face. "Sage, there's someone who would like to meet you." She said.
I groaned and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, standing up I made sure to set Rachel up so she wouldn't fall over. My mom took my hand, and we started walking back into the castle, I saw Mr. Trew in the way but he just looked at me with a sorry expression. We walked past him, I noticed my mother giving him a small glare as we did. But other than that she didn't do anything, I guess she heard about his plan.
Mother led me back to the throne room where I saw my father and a new man talking. My father sat in his throne tha anger he possessed not long ago had faded. He looked up at me and mother and smiled "well Akira, looks like you didn't have to wait long." He said geasturing to a man on the floor near him. The man had long dark green hair and when he turned around I saw he had amber eyes, he wore black slacks, black loafers, a white button up shirt which hid under a black bow tie, and dark purple cloak that opened around his torso. The hood of the cloak covered his head.
He walked up to me, and I examined his kind smile tryjgg no to find any kind of deceit in it. "Hello Sage, I am Akira your uncle, and your fathers brother. No need to fear, I do not feel jealous of your father. I think being able to laze around instead of doing paperwork is just fine for me." He said bending down onto one knee and patting my head.
I stared at him for a moment longer, and eventually said "what do you need me for, uncle?"
He chuckled "you sure do adapt fast. But the reason I have asked to see you, is because I want to ask if I can have your consent to train you?"
My eyes lit up, if I was trained by a member of the royal family then I'm sure I could impress the gods! I hadn't stopped thinking of what I'd do since I was first brought here, I wanted to have something amazing that would knock their socks off. And if I was trained by Akira then I'm sure I could do that. "That would be nice Uncle." I said with an innocent smile, almost as if I wasn't thinking of how I might just wreak some havoc instead of accomplishing something.
Akita's grin widened "good! I wanted myself a capable apprentice! Now we shall begin at once!"
"Hold up there Akira, do you think I'm going to let you put him through your training at his age. I suggest you wait at least until he's ten." My mother said with an innocent smile on her face, but a dark presence enveloped the room.
"Yep no problem, ma'am. I can wait another five years, no problem at all." Akira sweatdropped as he inched away.
"Good! Now Sage how about we go get Rachel and have some lunch?" My mother asked turning my head to face her.
My father stood from his throne and ran over so he could be heard without screaming and then screamed "not without me you aren't, I need some food i my belly!"
"What's the magic word?" My mother said grabbing my fathers arm and pulling him back with the strength of around five elephants. "Please may I have some food." My father sweatdropped, mother let him go and nodded then started walking away as if nothing happened. In unison me, my father, and Akira said "women are scary."
They all sped walked up to her not wanting to be yelled at for running, or something like that.
