As I peer over the hill I see a a couple of kids, They all look like boys from here. I keep walking towards them and notice one is cowering and the others are pelting him with mud and dirt. I creep up to them and get just a few yards away and start to cast Waterball, as I'm speaking the incantation one of the boys notices me "Who are you?" He asks "I'm Kaelion, and I suggest you leave him alone" I respond
The another kid looks at me "Oh yeah? What are you gonna do pipsqueak?" When he calls me pipsqueak it makes me notice how much bigger these kids are then me, probably about 12 or so. Either way I've been in a similar situation to this boy so I have to help him. I shoot the Waterball I was casting at first boy and it soaks him completely, the second boy picks up a hunk of mud and chucks it at me. He misses by a decent shot, probably be a good idea to never let this kid play baseball. And run towards them casting fire hand and once it's done I tap my hand on each of the kids arms slightly burning them.
They scream in pain from the fire, but it's not too hot it'll go away in a short time. The first boy notices this and doesn't wanna get hit by it so he runs away and just after that the last two run with him. I notice the victim is looking at me but he immediately looks away.
"Are you okay?", I ask him. I wait a moment for him to answer but he doesn't "Hello? Can you hear me?" Once I ask this he nods but doesn't say anything. "So answer me, Are you okay?", I walk up to him and he nods slightly. He's got mud spots all over his clothes, and seems bruised on his legs.
"You don't look okay... Come my mom knows healing magic she can help.", I reach and grab his arm but he yanks it out
"No!", He yells
"Why not? you're hurt.", He looks at me and I notice him he's got elf like ears. He's the first non-human I've seen since I got here.
"Why... Why did you help me?", he asks
"Because you were getting bullied, why would I not?"
"Because I'm... I'm an elf..." He responds.
"I don't see why that would make me not want to help you." I say a little bit confused. "Come on, my mom can heal you, I would right here but I haven't learned healing magic yet" I insist
"M-magic?" He questions
"Yeah magic do you know what it is?" I look at him a bit surprised assuming he would know what magic is already since I learned of its existence and I'm probably younger than him.
He responds with "No.. I don't, but it sounds cool..."
"It is! You can make stuff out of nothing like fire or water, even grow plants quicker! Plus you can heal injuries instantly like what my mom can do!" I ramble on for a bit longer about magic, eventually he agrees to come to my home so Seraphina can heal her.
We get to my home and I knock on the front door, Thorne comes and opens the door
"Looks like you found a frie-", he paused noticing the bruises and mud.
"He was getting bullied so I helped and he needs mom's healing magic"
"I see." He pauses for a moment "Sera! Come down here a boy needs healing!" Thorne yells
"Oh! Is it Kael?" Seraphina asks while she comes down the steps
"No, his friend", Thorne answers.
She immediately starts casting a basic healing spell as I explain again what happened. Once he was healed up Seraphina shows him to the bath so he can get cleaned up and while he's bathing she cleans his clothes up mostly.
He comes back down cleaned and back in his clothes which are now also cleaned.
"Th-thank you.." He bows to my mom and me.
I realize I don't know his name yet so I ask "Hey, what's your name?"
"R-rowan" He answers, clearly more on the shy side of people.
"That's a cool name, mines Kaelion. But my parents call me Kael so you can too."
"I-i should be heading home, my d-dad might get worried" Rowan explains
"Okay, I'll see you later. If those punks show up again let me know" I tell him as he's leaving the house
He looks behind back at me and smiles "Okay!". I watch as he closes the door and leaves. Id say today was an eventful and productive day.
