Pumk
The man fell to the ground and after a while began to regain consciousness.
- Oh, my head is splitting
Haldar, having come to his senses, wanted to get up, but he was stopped by a sharp pain in his head. After a few minutes, the pain subsided, and he was able to open his eyes and stand up.
- Where am I? What happened?
Haldar noticed that he was in an unfamiliar forest. He began to remember what had happened before. However, his head was empty. He remembered everything except how he got here.
- Where am I? I hope I didn't die.. It doesn't look like Hell, nor does it look like the so-called Paradise... Oh, what...
Haldar was wondering where he had ended up, but his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden downpour. Due to the blow to his head, he was apparently still not thinking clearly, and thus did not immediately notice the heavy rain.
Quickly looking around and finding a large tree, he immediately ran to it and sat down.
- What the hell!
He, when he ran, already felt different than before. Having examined himself completely, he was shocked when he noticed his body, because it was not his previous body, but a new, young one. From his body, he could tell that he was about 8-9 years old.
- Am I... a child? But how? What the f@ck?
Haldar was perplexed by what was happening. He did not think that such a fantasy was possible, but the result was obvious. On his young face and body. He was 45 years old, he was an ordinary man who lived his life. Worked, read books, trained, improved, walked and tried to find his love until this moment.
- Stop, I feel the pain and cold from the rain well, so this is not a dream. New body, memory loss, am I dead?
Looking at the sky, Haldar noticed that black clouds covered the entire sky and the rain was pouring down like buckets. Looking at his hands again, he smiled:
- Hah, if reincarnations exist, then all fairy tales, magic and legends too, and they are not fiction... So, what should I do.. a new life, no home, forest around...
While Haldar was thinking, he suddenly heard crying. He was a little surprised that through such rain he could hear crying.
- B№ya
At first he did not want to go, but still decided to carefully go and check who was crying there and the crying was very strange. Carefully walking a few dozen meters, he saw a small hamster, but an unusual one, much larger in size, which was walking and crying like a person...
- What a huge hamster! I definitely don't have any like that in the world. Judging by the height of a person, he is like me a child
Haldar began to examine the crybaby hamster from the bushes.
- So I ended up in another world, where all the mythical and bookish creatures exist and live, just like people like hobbits, orcs and elves. Well then it's time to get going
Haldar was about to leave for good, but he stopped looking at the little hamster again, he saw sadness and grief on his face from the loss of everything dear. The hamster was his copy, when he himself received the news of his parents' death and after he personally saw them.
Just as he lost everything because of his weakness, everything that was dear to him...
- Damn it, we'll try. All or nothing
Haldar clenched his fists and decided to approach the hamster.
And meanwhile earlier... One hour ago... In the middle of the Kalagda Forest, the Clan of the Heavenly Fangs.
- Vardhan, please deliver Yerald to Grandfather Meris safe and sound
The woman asked the old man who had arrived to them. And the man next to him nodded and began to look around seriously.
- Don't worry, Mistress Melisa. Even if I die, I will still protect the young master!
- You come safe too. Good luck, my dear
Melisa nodded and kissed Yerald on the forehead and continued:
- Go and wait for us, we will catch up with you soon
- Ha-ha-ha. Catch up?
Suddenly, a contemptuous laugh sounded from the side. Looking in that direction, they noticed that five men in black cloaks were approaching them, but the very first man, from whom quite impressive energy emanated, did not hide his face.
- Treukh...
The man, seeing the leader of the invaders, said sullenly. Treukh laughed in turn:
- Ha-ha, Kagel, Kagel, Kagel, I am honored that you remembered my name. And I thought that Heavenly Fang would not even remember me
- Why are you doing this?
Kagel, having released his energy of the 190th Level of the Supreme, decided to ask. And he nodded briefly to Vardhan. The old man immediately understood the signal and moved.
- Young master, let's go. We need to hurry
Vardhan grabbed Erald, threw him on his back and immediately disappeared among the houses. Erald was in a state of severe shock and stress from horror and could not move, from what was happening to his clan and home.
- Garamb, do not let the little one and the old man go
Treukh, smiling, gave an order to one of the men next to him. He pointed at the fleeing Vardhan.
- Yes
Garamb licked his blade and rushed after Vardhan. Kagel immediately wanted to stop him, but Treukh and the other four men stood in his way.
- Kagel, we are not finished yet
Treukh smiled and also released his energy of the Supreme, like those who came with him.
Yerald could only watch as his father and mother were surrounded. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Vardhan moved very quickly through the burning and destroyed streets of the clan, but suddenly many spells flew at him. He sped up and dodged all the attacks and quickly rushed towards the nearest exit.
- Don't let anyone escape!
All the creatures in black cloaks wanted to stop Vardhan from moving forward, but the forces were not equal and Vardhan freely broke through them.
- He won't run away
A wolf named Garamb spoke out of the shadows and watched as Vardhan quickly flew towards the exit.
As soon as the old man wanted to fly over the clan's border, he was suddenly thrown back. A powerful barrier became visible, and it was erected around their clan and did not allow anyone to leave it.
Vardhan was thrown back and Erald fell on his back and after that, the little one immediately regained his mind due to severe pain. He quickly began to look around and noticed a badly wounded old man. The barrier not only blocked him, but also wounded him very badly.
- Grandfather Vardhan, please don't die
Erald crawled to Vardhan in tears. Crawling closer, he noticed that the old man was seriously wounded in the area of his right leg.
- Young sir, save yourself with the amulet
Grandfather, grabbing Erald's paw, whispered quietly. He knew that he would not run away with such a wound, but with Erald everything was different. Vardhan knew that the amulet could save only one.
- Grandfather Vardhan, I cannot leave, leaving you here
Erald, with tears in his eyes, tried to cover Vardhan's wound with his paws.
- You are not going anywhere
Garamb, who had only watched before, began to walk towards Vardhan and Erald. He smiled contemptuously, looking at their sad situation.
- I beg you... Stop this... Why did you attack our clan, which has nothing to do with you?..
Erald, with tears, turned towards Garamb, who was approaching them.
- Why?..
Garamb thoughtfully tilted his head and stopped five meters away from them. Twisting his saber, he smiled cheerfully.
- Robbery and murder - this is what makes up our world! So what's wrong with defeating the weak? Well? If you are a man, then take up a weapon and express your complaints with it
Garamb answered cheerfully and began to slowly approach them. He accumulated his energy on the blade to kill both of them with one blow.
- But, I do not know how to use a weapon...
- Then die
Garamb answered coldly and raised his blade above Erald. The blade began to glow with a red light and was ready to descend down and decapitate Erald at any moment.
- Stop!
Suddenly, Vardhan flared up with his remaining energy and struck Garamb with a hammer, and then with great effort stood in front of Erald.
- Be careful, Lord Garamb!
The warriors standing nearby shouted. Garamb repelled the attack and moved a few meters away from them.
- Old turtle, so you are not dead yet, but we will fix it
Garamb licked his blade and struck - Deep Cut
- Young master, farewell
Vardhan said smiling and pressed the button in the amulet himself and pushed it aside. Yerald the sanctified began to disappear, seeing how Garamb's blade cuts Vardhan
- No! Grandfather Vardhan!!!
Yerald disappeared with a cry full of despair.
- What!? What the hell!
Garamb did not expect that the little hamster would be able to escape. He immediately turned to their troops and, finding the magicians, quickly approached them.
- Track him down quickly by the vibrations of the space where he moved to!
Garamb quickly gave the order to the magicians. The mages immediately began trying to track down his teleportation route, but they were having trouble. Some artifact was interfering with their search.
- Damn it, it's not working
The mages were completely confused by this. How could such a small boy have such a powerful spatial artifact that they couldn't track him down.
- What? What do you mean?
Garamb squinted and tilted his head.
- We can't track him down. The little bastard used a powerful spatial artifact, he uses interference that prevents him from being tracked down quickly, we need more time..
One of the strongest mages immediately responded and wanted to continue, but he was suddenly cut into two parts and screams were heard.
- Damn, damn, damn, damn... DAMN!
At this time, Yerald was teleported to a hidden valley that was covered in hidden formations, it was located near the exit from the forest towards the city of Randafir.
Erald was lying on the ground and raindrops were falling on his face and it was unclear whether he was crying or whether it was raindrops on his face.
A minute later, he slowly stood up and began to walk towards the exit of the formation, crying. While walking, he sometimes fell, but he got up and walked on.
- Why does happiness and things dear to the heart eventually disappear..
Erald suddenly stopped and sat down, but the tears continued to flow. He was crying, after all, he was a child who was not even ten.
- Grandfather Vardhan... Clan... friends.. mom.. dad..
And at that very moment, a strange creature suddenly emerged from the bushes.
- A big hamster? How unusual. Are you crying?
The human boy spoke and began to approach Erald. Erald, who was sitting all tearful, raised his eyes to him, stood up alertly and began to walk away, but suddenly tripped and fell.
- What's the point of these tears?
The boy came up and sat down in front of Yerald. Looking at him, the boy remembered himself in the past. He continued:
- Instead of crying and insulting your fate, it's better to fight, because the power decides everything. Instead of regretting your helplessness, try your best to become stronger
- "I don't want to lose anything again because of my weakness... I won't run away anymore! I will fight!"
Erald made up his mind with rage in his eyes and bit the boy's hand because he thought he would hurt him.
- That's right. You have to fight with all your strength all your life
The boy slowly said these words and patted Erald on the shoulder.
- My name is Haldar. Come with me. I am also inexperienced. To survive and defeat everyone, we need more strength. Then, shall we become stronger together?
Haldar said enthusiastically, looking at the tearful Erald.
- Become stronger... Together with me.
Erald slowly let go of his hand and began to cry again. Haldar smiled softly and began to calm the little one down, thinking:
- My first friend, friend... Unfortunately, ... And... My arm hurts like hell...
