Running through a leafy forest, a little boy could be seen, jumping from branch to branch, until he reached the edge of a river, where he sat quietly on a tree.
'Today is my fifth birthday ahhhhh, how slow time feels when you remember everything, now that I think about it in detail, I remember everything since I opened my eyes, but at that time I didn't understand what I saw, like when you have a word in your mouth, but you don't know which one, it's the same feeling,' Ru thought while touching his head.
After a while, standing on the branch and side of the tree, he approached the river oriya observing his reflection, he brought his hand to his face touching it, 'Mmmmm, my face looks a little more mature', then he brought his hands to his eyes, 'From what I've heard and read, it's not normal that in my race, the colors of the eyes will always come out the same as one of the parents. I am the first registered with two-colored eyes and also leaning towards a variation of color, and also my hair', raising his hand to his hair, silver like metal, soft as silk and long to the shoulders, 'The normal thing would be that no matter what type of race the Lihyan procreate with, the child will always be born with white hair, not even the ancient lords were exempt from this rule. From what I heard when I was still a baby, those of my race consider me the blessing of the ancients for the imminent breaking of the barrier that separates us from the other 4 continents'.
Half a year since the birth of Ru
Inside a house in the middle of one of the villages of the Lihyan race, seven people were gathered around a small child.
"Kian, take this, if you go outside our lands with the little boy, put this on him, it will hide the color of his hair, although no one has ever messed with us, the world is changing, no matter how strong we are, if more than one enemy attacks us at a time it will be a problem, and besides the existence of the little boy can generate more incense problems than normal" said a man with white hair, with a black and purple tunic, with green eyes, he was about 40 years old. With his hand extended towards Kian, he gave him a bracelet made of a metal alloy.
"Thank you very much Ben, with this we will avoid future problems with my son's appearance" answered Kian, receiving the bracelet.
"Don't worry about small details, our main function as chiefs is to watch over the future of our race, and besides if the scriptures are true, the little one will be our future," Dyn answered while looking at Ru. He was a tall man with white hair and blue eyes, about 30 years old, dressed in the robes that all chiefs wear, black with purple touches on it.
"Hmmm, you better stop with this matter of the chosen one, I won't let you put burdens on him while my little one grows, if my son is destined to be one, he will be, but I don't want him to have the burden of carrying the future of the clan until his eighteenth birthday" With an angry voice Fu said to the other 4 leaders of the clan, he wanted his son to have a normal childhood.
"I know Fu, we're not trying to give you problems that don't even affect a newborn, but we can't ignore that fact, I just want you to understand the situation your son is in" Zui said while he was in the center carrying the little one. He had white hair, red eyes, was 30 years old and wore his representative robe as one of the leaders.
Little Ru was watching this whole scene silently, occasionally playing with Zui's hands. "What a quiet child, he doesn't look like his parents at all, with how rowdy they were since they were born HA HA HA HA" said an older man, about sixty years old, white hair, pink eyes and wearing the robes of a leader.
"Who are you calling a troublemaker, old Gan? He was just like my little Ru. Hmmm, what if Yu?" Fu replied. Kian couldn't reply. His parents always told him how troublesome he was and Yu could only smile wryly at his sister, preferring to nod and not contradict her. He didn't want to be his sister's revenge with this whole issue of the chosen one.
"HA HA HA HA sure, whatever you say little Fu, in any case, we're leaving, we just came to deliver the bracelet and look for your brother. Are you busy Yu? If not, come with us, Zui hand over little Ru" Gan replied leaving the house followed by Zui handing the child to Fa and leaving with the rest of the leaders.
"No, I'm free, I'll follow you," Yu replied, following them.
'Ahhhh, if they knew that my memory was so good, what would they think? Ha ha ha. Even though they consider me a genius, I don't think they expected me to remember when I was half a year old. I should go back, my mother must have already noticed my absence' Ru thought as he walked away from the river bank and returned to the village.
