Chapter 8 - Chapter : 8 New Life Starts

A young boy could be seen digging with a shovel, his forehead covered in sweat. He paused for a moment and looked at his work with satisfaction. "It's all done," he said, wiping his forehead with his hand.

"Damian, it's ready!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Suddenly, a rush of water came sliding through the area the boy had been digging .

"Wait! "As the water came rushing towards the boy while taking with him as water pressure slowed down a young with short brown hair lying on muddy ground as he stood up With short brown hair sticking to his forehead, the boy shook his head, sending droplets of water flying in all directions. His eyes, a deep shade of brown, sparkled with mischief as he looked up at his companions

"Dammit! Damian I told you wait didn't you hear me "

" Haaa aaaa Sorry kaelen it was by mistake " A boy said who was at the top of the hill as the sun shined on him, A Fifteen year old boy can be seen with his messy black hair reaching his foreheadand a well defined body as he was shirtless with a Five feet 6 inches height.

" Sorry my ass you did that on purpose " kaelen said as he rushed on the hill.

As both Damian and kaelen were about to argue,

A small young girl with an ash black bob cut and sparkling brown eyes stepped forward, her voice ringing out clear and sweet over the sound of the arguing group. She was dressed in a colorful long frock, ready to enjoy the water slide that loomed ahead of them.

"Stop it guys, there is no need to fight," she said, a smile on her face. "Why don't we just enjoy the water slide?"

" Fine " Kaelen said as he sat on the edge of the slide with a mat , as girl also sat right behind of him holding him .

"We are ready do it now Damian " as the young girl said with excitement.

As the girl said Damian raised his left hand as his hand shined with a blue circle " here it comes "

Splashhhhh! , A huge amount of water rushed down the slide .

As kaelen and young girl were washed off down due to water as they were still gliding in muddy water after reaching the down of the hill.

Meanwhile Damian was raised his hand in air with a huge water ball that could be seen from a far distance. As he also sat on the mat and realesed the water ball as it fall down causing a huge wave throwing off Damian in huge speed.

Wooooshhhhh!!

"What's that sound" kaelen said as he was about get up from ground.

" Brother look back" the girl said indicating Damian who was coming down with huge wave of water at his back.

Whooooooooooo

"This bastard " As kaelen rushed to get up only to get hit by Damian as huge of water took them into forest covered with trees.

A moment later .....

the leaves could be seen falling from the trees and landing on the muddy ground below. The water droplets from tress that was falling made it look like a little rain causing the leaves to become damp and cling to the ground. The sound of the water droplets hitting the leaves and the ground could be heard, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

"It was fun , wasn't it" Damian said as he stood up with wet pants as the water were dripping .

"Yes "the young girl said as she also stood up as her dress was also dripping with water.

" Don't support him Amara , it could have been dangerous " Kaelen said as he was squeezing his t-shirt to take out water.

As the trio were trying to squeeze out water from their clothes " We can't go home like this " kaelen said indicating the muddy clothes.

"It could've been great if you could use wind magic , it would help us dry our clothes faster " Attracting the attention of Damian.

" Let's go home there is no choice our clothes are really dirty, plus it's getting really late we also need cross the forest before it's gets dark" Kaelen said to the duo.

As kaelen was about to walk he saw Damian looking at his hand " Hey weirdo Let's go home" as kaelen said gaining the attention of Damian " Sure it's getting late" .

As the trio began to make their way home ,The trio walked carefully along the dirt path, the crunching of leaves and twigs underfoot the only sound. The forest was dark and quiet, with the occasional chirping of crickets and the rustling of leaves in the wind. The trio walked in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

After a while they reached the river , which is not far away from Damian's house as they crossed the river , Kaelen pointed towards Damian's house" bye Damian lets meet tomorrow" Amara said with small smile as kaelen gave a small smack on her head .

The trio parted ways, each heading to their respective homes.

As Damian entered his house a small six-year-old girl could be seen with long black hair that reached all the way down to her knees. Despite the length of her hair, it did not fall in front of her face, but instead fell beautifully backwards. The girl's hair was glossy and dark, reflecting the light in a way that made it shine.

" Mom big brother has comeback" as the small girl was to hug him with a huge smile he stopped her as his clothes were still muddy.

As the small girl was stooped by her brother she looked up "ummm" as her small lips were trembling as she was about to cry.

Hey, don't cry," he said, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I just don't want to get you all muddy."

As the brother-sister duo comforted each other, Elara approached them and picked up the little girl. "It's okay, Thalia. Your brother is becoming just like your father," Elara said, giving a sidelong glance at Theron, who sat in a chair with lifeless eyes.

Damian's thoughts raced as he wondered if their father had done something again. "Mom, I am going to clean up," Damian said, rushing into his room to pick out clean clothes. He then jumped out of his window and stood in the yard, creating five water balls that he shot up into the air. As the balls fell back down, they made a loud splash.

"Well, I am all cleaned up," Damian said, looking down at his clean body. He then went back inside through the window.

After taking bath as Damian sat at the dining table with his little sister on his lap, but he could sense the anger emanating from his mother. He quickly began to eat his food, hoping to finish as soon as possible.

As he finished he rushed inside his room taking his sister along" Thalia what did Dad do this time" Damian asked as sat on his knees to reach her height .

" I don't knnowww we went to market together " Thalia said as she rushed towards Damian bed by Jumping on it.

"Maybe he got caught looking at the girls " Damian thought to himself as he got up.

"Do you wanna sleep here" Damian said .

"Yes"Thalia answered as she snuggled onto the bed.

Creak!!!

As Damian slowly opened his door " Mom Thalia will sleep in my room today" as Damian said closing the door immediately but there was little sound that was heard " No" .

As both siblings settled into bed, Thalia had already fallen asleep, her breathing slow and steady. Damian lay there for a while, thinking about what his friend, Amara, had said about wind magic.

" Can I have two elements " Damian thought to himself as he was feeling the gentle breeze coming through the window. As he also fall asleep shortly after .
