Old man:so do you want to learn some magic kid?
Hearing this how could one not be excited the possibility to learn something so amazing like magic,he remembered his old life,always getting bullied and his dad never caring about him always drinking,he always yearned for something more and this was like a blessing to him.
Max:Yeah I want to learn can you teach me sir?I promise I won't let you down.
Old man:Just kidding kid,I can't teach you that it's not like it's impossible but if you really want to learn you should go to the human kingdom,like I told you this is the elves forrest and we don't have a very high opinion of humans there.
Max:Then why did you ask me if I wanted to learn if you weren't going to teach me in the first place?
Old man:Sorry kid that was in bad taste but are you really interested in learning?
Max:Yes I am
Old man:I could take you to our city but I'm warning you right now nobody there will give you a easy time and they won't be friendly to you,eve knowing all this will you still come?
Max:Of course,besides what other option do I have?
Old man:I could take you to the nearest human village if you want,it would be easier for you but the humans you might find there may not be as friendly as me hahaha.
Max could only laugh awkwardly as he listened to the man talk as he now felt scared of even trying to go to one of this villages and meeting other people.
Max:I will go with you,please take me
Old man:Alright but since its already dark let's rest here for tonight and I will take you there at the sunrise.
They were so lost on their conversation that they did not feel the time pass so the old man decided that it was a good idea to rest there he picked up branches,put them all together in one place and he snapped his fingers,when he did that a spark came from his fingers and a small flame fell on the branches and ignited them,he also went and picked the wolf that he had killed earlier,he took a small knife from his pocket and skinned him and put the meat through two branches and layed it by the fire to cook it.
Max:Is that thing even good to eat?
Old man:OH kid,you can't even begun to imagine how tasty this is,just wait until you try it.
He soon took the meat off the fire and gave one to him,he was hesitant at first but once he gave it a try he immediately felt a burst of flavor in his mouth and couldn't help but admit that it was indeed delicious.
Max:Omg this is really amazing Old man hummer.
Old man:You know you should really stop calling me a Old man I still have many great years ahead of me.
Max:Well you haven't told me your name and you really look like an old man to me.
Old man:Damn kid,just because you are fourteen doesn't mean everybody older that you is a Old man.
Max:Alright Alright,then what is your name Old man?
Old man:I just told you to...haaa never mind my name is Vance.
Max:Alright then,well you already know my name so I guess I should say it's nice to meet you Vance.
Vance:Yeah nice to meet you kid,so tell me what's your backstory?
Max:Backstory?
Vance:Yeah backstory, what did you do in your world,how did you get here all of that.
Max explained everything to him and he listened without interrupting him and when he finished he said
Vance:Looks like you had it rough kid,and I'm sorry to say this but it will be even rougher from here on out,but I promise on my name that I will do my best to protect you from any danger while you are under my wing.
Max:By the way how will all this work,you told me that humans aren't welcomed there so will I just waltz through there.
Vance:Let me take care of that kid you just worry on getting a good night's sleep cause right at sunrise we will go to the city.
Max:Alright then goodnight Vance.
Vance:Goodnight kid
