Deep inside the great forest of Terra, a kid little boy could be seen running away from two other men! The boy was holding a loaf of bread which I as supposedly stolen from the two men.
"There's no where to run kid! Today you'll suffer fate worse than death!" One of the men said with a loud angry tone as they both continued to chase the boy deeper into the forest.
"How is this frail kid still ahead of us! Doesn't he get tired?" The other man asked as the distance between them appeared to be getting more bigger.
"You promised! We had a deal!" The boy said with a heavy voice as he was already out of breath. The two men had promised to give him food if he helped them with a little work and after helping them they planned on going back on their words so he stole from them instead. The food itself wasn't even for him! He was an orphan with the only family he had left was a younger sister who was currently sick probably because of malnutrition.
"What do you know! You're just a kid and you dare strike a deal with us! Haven't you heard about helping your elders?" One if the man said while picking a medium sized stone throwing it at the boy which hit him in his head causing him to stumble but without wasting time he stood up continuing his run.
At that moment he spotted a cave and assumed it to be the best possible place to hide since inside it might be dark, with that he turned his resolve running into the cave which contrary to what he said expected was rather bright!.
"Shit!" He cursed as there was no other escape root, he was probably done for but just then he heard screams coming from the entrance upon looking back he couldn't see the two men who were after him! Rather only their clothes soaked in a pool of blood.
"What the!" The boy said walking back to the entrance wanting to check if the were outside! But to his greatest surprise he couldn't leave! It was as if the air had solidified like a barrier! He couldn't leave the entrance even though outside was crystal clear! After throwing his shoe outside he found it strange that it passed smoothly!
"What's happening? Is it probably magic?" The boy asked as it was his first time seeing a strange occurrence like that. After waiting for a few more minutes and he still couldn't leave he decided to explore the cave as he figured there was probably a reason only he could enter.
"I have to get home to give Selene food! She's probably hungry and since she's sick it must be really painful for her!" The boy turned to himself as he began to walk deeper into the cave.
To his greatest surprise it wasn't really big! After walking for about three minutes he came across a read end however the sight in front of him seemed a little bit unreal! There was a person chained to the wall of the cave! He couldn't really see the person's face even though it was exposed in the open.
"Come close!" The boy immediately stumble back upon hearing the voice of the person! Rather than a normal voice it sounded more like some kind of harmonized voice by multiple people.
"What are you doing here and do you know why I can't leave, am I going to end up like you?" The boy asked multiple questioned at the same time as he was unsure about the situation he was in.
"You ask too many questions, I'll answer you shortly, what's your name boy?" The person asked again with an unusual voice that seemed to be generated from a different dimension.
"Ge..Gerald!"
"Now Gerald! One question! Do you want absolute strength! Strength to crush your enemies and protect those you love?" The voice said again, The boy was taken back by his sudden question! For all he knew he had never dreamt of having that kind of power! All he ever praid for was to live a comfortable life with his sister.
After being orphaned by the age of 8 he had to face the harsh reality of the world he was in. Even still he had never really dreamt of obtaining that kind of power. However living the kind of life he has, he knew that nothing ever comes free.
"So what's in it for you?" Gerald asked as he knew it couldn't be a one sided deal. "You have nothing you could possibly offer me! I just want to live in the mortal world again and the only way is to serve a master! All you have to do is put a drop of blood on my forehead and my power would be yours!" The person said again this time Gerald didn't have any hesitation and besides right now he had plenty of blood to spare after all he had a serious head injury from earlier.
Upon placing a drop of his blood on the shackled persons fore head! The chains began to resonalte with a vibrant glow before shattering into pieces! After that the person was engulfed in a bright green light which eventually died out revealing a masculine figure with a height of almost 7 foot and a great build that could make anyale jealous. The muscles wore well defined with eight and and a slightly pumped chest muscle
The only clothing it wore was a leather yrouse that seemed very old itself decorated with several times that seemed to emit powerful presence.
"But you still haven't answered me?" Gerald asked with confidence, for some reason he could tell that the person in front of him would never hurt him and rather would protect him even till the ends of time.
"I am a true spirit! You can call me Terra! From henceforth your wish would be my command, anything you want all you have to do is request and I will even split the Earth if you ordered!" The person said with great determination and sense of responsibility.
"Wow! I don't really know what that means but I'm sure with you around no one would ever bully me!" 14 year old Gerald was indeed cluelessness about what Terra was but for some reason he could trust in his words.
"We have guest! Master tell me your order and it shall be done!"
