Tobin was expecting to come out in a house too just like he was coming from but he was disappointed to notice it was just a little hut with a single light in the middle.
"This cannot be the place the so called Lord Harold stays right? He questioned himself as he looked around the small room wondering what he should do next. He must have lost the details of that one when he was already dreaming of this place during their conversation. There was not even a single furniture in his current location. He tried to open the door and just like befor he was unable to do so.
An idea struck him to make use of his cell phone that he carried along. He quickly dialed his second number hoping to ask Harold for what he should do from this hut.
To his shock and disappointment there was no service in his phone.
"Perfect no service too" He grunted in frustration as he wondered what he should do. He decided he should step outisde to see if he would see any clue on what he should. He looked outside through a tiny window to discover it was not even dark outisde like his world
"Young Lord!!! We have been waiting for you to come out " two young boys cried out rushing towards him with worry in their eyes.
Tobin was taken aback by the boys running to him but he stood his ground as he knew they were not going to hurt him. From their faces he could tell they could eighteen and sixteen years respectively. He couldn't remember Harold telling him about any of the peoole he was expected to meet.
He noticed the boys suddenly slowed down when they saw him looking at him with astonishment in their eyes. While also noticing that there was not a single house close by just trees everywhere like they were in a jungle
"Is it possible they have already discovered he was fake? Tobin trembled slightly as he didn't know exactly what to say.
"Young Lord, Your hair, how did it grow so fast? One of the boys asked wide eyed
"Damn the hair " Tobin shouted to himself in frustration. How did he forget that he was suppose to cut his long white hair to suit that of Harold.. Befor he could think of a lie the second boy spoke out
"Is it possible your powers increased when you entered that hut? He asked looking at the hut behind him.
"Yes.... That's what happened, that's why my hair is like this now" Tobin replied glad for that point.
He watched as both of them fell face flat to the ground, taking a bow three times befor standing up again.
" I am glad to be your apprentice, my mother really said you have the potential to be someone great " the youngest of the boys spoke again with excitment in his eyes.
Tobin didn't know how to go from here, first of all he doesn't even know their names but one just mentioned his position as an apprentice in his life. Was Harold also someone with an handwork that required him to have an apprentice? Tobin wondered. He decided he would try something.
"For how long was I inside that hut? Tobin asked looking at the hut behind him
"Two days my Lord" The eldest answered this time.
Tobin felt awkward that someone that seem almost his age was calling him his lord. There again he made another mistake. He didn't ask for the age of Harold it would have given him an idea of things to expect.
"Two good days, how time flies inside that place. I thought it was just three hours. Tobin said with a shake of his head trying to make them feel he had a different experience.
And you have been sitting outside doing what? He asked again.
"You asked us not to come inside no matter what we hear, so we have been outside waiting for you along side Bam but we can't find him now " the eldest one replied again. It seem he was the only one that could confidently talk to him
"Bam? Who is Bam? Tobin asked looking confused
" who is Bam? Both of them chorused with a look of surprise on their faces.
Tobin immediately knew he had made a mistake. Befor he could muster an excuse he noticed a big wolf walking towards them and it suddenly increased pace when it noticed Tobin.
"Run!!! Tobin screamed as he headed for the Hut with full speed forgetting his suppose position as a strong wizard.
When he got to the hut he noticed the wolf was no longer chasing him but was only standing close to the boys. They all had confused looks on their faces. Even the wolf looked confused too. The boys seem not to show any form of fear for the wolf. They all seem to be concern about him.
"Why will Lord Harold be scared of Bam? The younger boy asked speaking more to himself but loud enough for Tobin to hear since they not far from the hut.
"Is that the Bam they were talking about? Bam was a wolf? Tobin asked himself as he held on to his chest because of the way he ran.
"I should have listened" He said to himself in frustration as he looked outside again knowing they won't go anywhere if he doesn't come out and he needs them.
