After walking for about an hour I finally saw a village, i entered the village, the people in the village looked happy,but immediately I entered the village, everyone looked at me weirdly, i know I didn't look good due to my torn and bloody cloth I also didn't have any money on me, I didn't know how or who to ask for help, luckily I saw a young middle aged lady coming towards me, her hair was purple which was odd, because, only nobles had different colored hair, commoners mostly have black or brown colored hair, well I'm different because my hair color was black before my awakening.
She stood in front of me, I could notice the respect the villagers had for her.
Kid, what's your name, I heard a pleasant voice and I looked at my front, I got a full view of her face, she was the most beautiful lady I've ever seen, even though she wasn't young anymore, I haven't seen any girl that could hold a candle to her beauty. Even the prettiest girl where I came from couldn't match her, and her body was wow, she wasn't too big nor too small, she was moderate, she must have realized I had been looking at her body. I looked at her she didn't seem offended she just smiled, I felt embarrassed though, she then asked what my name was again, I replied Lucius, I was so engrossed in looking at her body that I forgot the question she asked me.
What happened to you Lucius? She asked I was hesitant on telling her in front of so many people, she must have noticed, because she told me to follow her, which I did, she took me to a part of the village, unlike the other areas, this area was secluded, there was only one house located here, the space was fairly big, it could fit at least 3 families of three, at the back of the house was a path to a forest, but despite the place being so large, there was no one here, maybe only her is living, while I was dreaming of the purple haired lady taking care of me all alone in this big house, I heard a voice.
Mum who's this kid, I looked at where the voice came from, I saw a purple haired boy with purple pupils, he was handsome, almost as handsome as me.
Jake, that's not how you greet your guest, his name is Lucius, he doesn't have a place to stay, so he will be staying here for the time being, so Jake take Lucius to the bath and give him some of your cloth. Ok mom Jake replied.
He beckoned me to follow him, I went with him to the bath house then I took a refreshing bath and he gave me a set of new cloth
After I was through settling in it was night time, I followed Jake to the dining room, I guess it was dinner time, throughout the time I was with him he didn't even say a word,and I wasn't interested in being the first person to talk.
During dinner time, everyone was quiet, when we were all through eating, Jake's mom then broke the silence.
So Lucius where are you from, I'm from cloud City, I replied. Then Jake spoke to me for the first time, are you an awakener, he said it in a deep not so welcome voice, I replied yes, before he could ask me more questions, his mom stopped him, Jake what about your parents, she asked. Actually I'm an orphan, she looked surprised a little, so then how did you end up here, I told them what transpired leaving out the details of how I truly awakened.
You are lucky to have awakened at that moment, I'm pretty sure the devil didn't expect that, so that's why you survived, so since you have no place to stay, I don't mind accommodating you, also you are an awakener like my son Jake, that means you must be preparing to go for the examination two months from now, right.
Yes, I want to go, but I have no one to train me, it is known that you must have reached the first rank before you can participate in the examination.
You don't have to worry about that, I'll help you sought it out, just have a good night rest.
She stood up and she was about to leave, ma,am may I know why you're helping me, I find it odd for you to help someone you just met, I thought in my mind. She looked at me and replied you remind me of someone I knew, then she left.
Knew, does that mean the person is dead, I thought confused. Do you want to fight, I was surprised when I heard that, are you talking to me, yes of course is there anyone else here replied Jake.
But isn't it to late to fight, and we just ate dinner. Ok how about tomorrow then, he asked again, ok but, why do you want to fight me.
Well,that's because you look strong, and you have white hair. Then he stood up and left hurriedlly, wow that guy is weird.
I stood up and went to the room I was to sleep in, I felt nostalgic, this was my first time being treated like this, I lied down on the bed and drifted into a deep sleep.
After a while, the door to Lucius room opened, Jake's mom stepped in, then a black smoke came out of Jake body, then a projection of the man on a throne in Jake body was floating in the air he still sat on the throne, then he opened his mouth.
