" No way she is going to get married!" I said
" I am sorry, Calix, but it's true!" He said
" This can't get any worse! How long have I been unconscious?" I asked
" It has been 5 days," He said
" Ok, then I will continue training ," I said
" You are still ill, Calix!" He said
" Kendrick, I wanted to say something before I became unconscious. The reason I am trying so hard is to come back home quicker and to be king faster for the country to be better and make my loved ones happy and comfortable, and the only family member that I have is my mom...I want to protect her with all my might! when I lived in a village, I saw how much the beasts were despised and people were scared of them and... I really, really hated killing those beasts. I just had an ache in my heart every time I killed one because I had a strange feeling, like, what if I was one of them and I was misunderstood? I feel like I am not wanted! The real reason I am feeling this way is because of my father, I mean ... This makes me mad that I killed a lot of my species but I don't know where I belong am I a beast? or am I a human?" I asked
" This is a pretty good question, but the answer is you are both! look at it in another way you as king and you are a mix is perfect you are going to be a great king listening from this side and from this side you are going to treat them equally!" He said
" I am really glad that I helped you out. without you, I was going to die on this island because of my stupidity! So THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" I said
" Think of me as your family, and don't thank me. I do this because I want too" He said
I looked at him and smiled, and he looked at me with confusion
After a few days, I had to go through tough training, but Salvino sent me a lot of food to help me in my training.
In the first year, I had to use 5 swords and my fists.
One after one, my swords broke, and I did barely any damage.
The second year, I had to use my other 5 swords and barely held onto the last sword, and I succeeded in the last slash, and the sword broke.
"OH MY GOSH YOU FREAKING DID IT!" Kendrick said
" I...I DID IT!" I said with excitement
" Now try with your fists!" He said
I tried with my fist, and I succeeded
I looked at Kendrick with shock, and he gave me a thumbs up with a smile
" There is a man with a boat waiting for you!" He said
" Wait, you aren't coming?" I asked
" No, I am coming, but not now. I will come after you leave the island, " He said
" Oh, okay?" I said with concern
I met the man in the boat and he gave me a letter and clothes.
" Dear Calix,
You are now coming back after two years. I want you to wear the clothes that you have in your hand and there will be a carriage waiting for you so say your name and they will know where you are going!
your friend
Salvino."
" Those are some nice black clothes!" I said
The man looked at me and then looked away
I was confused. Why did he do that!
I went to change my clothes and the man in the boat handed me a sword.
I looked at it and drew the sword
" WOAH IT'S MY SWORD~," I said with excitement
as I said before, Salvino had bought from me some swords, and when I became a pro at making swords, he asked for a sword with a beautiful design, and I did as he wished.
" Ok, let us go then!" I said
he looked at me, confused
" Kendrick isn't coming with me!" I said
" Then when is he coming back?" The man asked
" WOAH YOU CAN TALK? I mean, come back to him after a week!" I said
" As you wish," the man said
This man looks so blank like he is a machine
I sat on the boat, and we drifted away from the island
I was worried about Kendrick, but I left a lot of food, so he would be fine.
as I was sitting down, I was lost in my thoughts
In these two years, I grew taller
I am now 20 years old
in those 2 years Marina got married and I was pretty sad but I knew she was not mine I mean she was engaged!
Salvino had a hard time because his mom was trying to get him to marry someone, but he didn't want to because he thought it was a little troublesome and his main focus is on his family...
Salvino sent me a letter telling me how he was miserable that Marina got married by force and she wasn't happy
I felt a heartache
My mother, in the other hand she sent me letters asking how I was, and she wished for me a happy and successful life
her health was great, apparently, and she started walking after a year while I was on the island
I guarantee that Marina was the one who helped my mother recover.
I sat a while looking at the ocean looking for something interesting because I was bored until we arrived
" The smell of home finally!" I said with a happy face
I looked at the man in the boat and thanked him for getting me home safe
He looked at me with a warm smile but with a little concern
Maybe he is nice after all!
