Karil woke up and saw that he was in his room. Sunlight was streaming through the window, slightly bothering his eyes. Karil sat up, yawned, and, rubbing his eyes, looked out the window.
Karil: "We're back home."
Lyotan was pacing restlessly in the living room. Kazaris was sitting on the couch, looking at Lyotan with boredom.
Kazaris, irritated, said with a frown: "Sit down, you're getting on my nerves!"
Lyotan stopped and said: "Sorry, I'm just thinking about how to tell Karil the truth."
Kazaris: "For a kid like Karil, it's really horrifying to lose his mother this way, even though Tanita wasn't his real mother."
Lyotan: "Yeah, but we have to tell him the truth. Hiding it will only make things worse."
Karil came downstairs and walked into the living room, casually saying: "Good morning."
Lyotan: "Good morning."
Kazaris: "Good morning, Karil."
Karil: "Where's Mom?"
Kazaris approached Karil, his face twisted with emotion, and said: "Karil, the truth is..."
Karil: "I forgot, she's dead."
Karil walked towards the kitchen.
Lyotan frowned at Kazaris. Kazaris looked at Lyotan and said: "I didn't tell him anything."
Karil was sitting at the table in Kazaris's room, feeling bored. Kazaris, sitting across from Karil, was watching him, resting his chin on his hand. Kazaris thought: "He seems fine, but unlike usual, he's very bored."
Karil stood up and said: "Brother, I want to be alone, I'm going for a walk."
Karil left the room and closed the door. Kazaris: "Maybe it's better to leave him alone for a while."
Kazaris got bored and went out for some fresh air. As Kazaris was walking in the green space, he suddenly heard a scream. "I'll kill you all, I'll take revenge on all of you!"
Kazaris quickly went to see what was happening, flying up to a tree. Karil smirked and said: "I'll make you all suffer, I'll burn you all!"
Karil threw a flame at a training target and burned it.
Kazaris, sitting on the tree, chuckled and said: "This boy gets more interesting every time."
Karil had pushed himself too hard, lost his balance, and fell to his knees. Kazaris quickly went to Karil and said: "Karil, you're doing great, but now you need to rest."
Karil struggled to stand up and said: "It's not enough, I need to get much stronger!"
Kazaris: "Karil, stop, you'll only hurt yourself this way."
Karil, holding his arm, said: "No, I need to avenge Mom..."
Suddenly, Karil fainted, and Kazaris caught him to prevent him from falling. Kazaris's face twisted with emotion and said: "This won't work, if he keeps pushing himself like this, he'll only destroy himself."
Kazaris put Karil on his bed to rest. Lyotan looked at Karil and said: "Did he push himself too hard again?"
Kazaris frowned slightly and said: "He's enduring a lot of pain inside; he's now fragile from within."
Lyotan thought for a moment and said: "This can't continue, we need to find a healer."
Kazaris: "But people are afraid of Karil, it will be hard to find a healer who trusts us and will treat Karil."
Lyotan clenched his fists and said: "No matter what, I'll find a healer. I won't let Karil suffer any longer!"
Kazaris looked at Lyotan and said: "What are you going to do? Search the whole city?"
Lyotan said with determination: "If I have to, I'll even search the underground and dangerous areas."
Kazaris: "I know a reliable healer. He's an underground wizard, and he's been on the run because of his dangerous experiments."
Lyotan: "How do you know him?"
Kazaris: "He's an old friend. His name is Maxis, I needed him to heal my people."
Lyotan: "Great, I'll find Maxis. You stay here and take care of Karil."
Lyotan went to the city to find Maxis. He held his forehead and said: "I have no idea where to start, and Kazaris is terrible at reading maps."
Lyotan approached a young woman and asked her about Maxis.
Young woman: "Why are you looking for him? He used to live here, but after the king issued an arrest warrant, that wizard disappeared."
Lyotan: "Do you know where I can find him?"
The young woman frowned and said: "Obviously, he went to the place where all the criminals trade."
Lyotan was happy and said: "Can you tell me where that is?!"
Lyotan managed to find the underground area; he just had to find Maxis. "Look here, this man is the one who joined forces with two demons!"
Lyotan looked in surprise and said: "What?! Are you talking about me?!"
"I thought you were a hero, but you betrayed us!" "Get out of here, traitor!" People were looking at Lyotan with hatred, rejecting him.
Lyotan was confused, suddenly seeing a notice on the wall. He took it and read the text: "The great hero, now allied with demons."
Suddenly, a guard pointed at Lyotan and said: "That's the traitor, arrest him!"
Lyotan ran quickly and got away.
"You're a coward!"
"If you're brave, come back and fight!"
A guard: "Damn, we lost him!"
Commander: "Forget it, let's find his house."
Maxis: "I have nothing valuable, let me go."
Maxis was in an underground canal, surrounded by several people trying to extort him.
Man sneered and said: "We don't want anything from you, we want you!" Suddenly, Maxis attacked them with a purple aura and quickly fled.
Man: "I can't see! Catch that damn wizard!"
The men went after Maxis, who was running quickly until he hit a dead end. Maxis looked behind him and said: "Looks like I've reached the end of the line."
A few men approached Maxis. One man: "Old wizard, just surrender and come with us."
Suddenly, their hands were bound by golden magic circles. One man: "What's happening here?!"
Lyotan approached Maxis and said: "Excuse me, is your name Maxis?"
Maxis sighed and said: "Oh boy, why is everyone after me?"
Lyotan: "I don't want to hurt you, I need your help."
Maxis said proudly: "I don't help knights."
Lyotan: "Please, a child's life is in danger!"
Maxis: "Why should I trust you?"
Lyotan: "Well, because..."
Maxis: "I'm leaving, good luck, young knight."
Maxis started to leave. Suddenly, Lyotan turned to Maxis and shouted: "You're a friend of Kazaris, right?"
Maxis turned back in surprise and said: "How do you know Kazaris?!"
In the end, Maxis agreed to go with Lyotan.
