The next day I woke up in my room my mother was sleeping beside me holding my hand all night and father was sleeping on a chair next to us.
They also woke up when they heard me waking up .
They asked what happened last night and again I told them it was a minor headache. They both knew that I was hiding something from them but they did not ask anything more about that night.
-----
We were having breakfast when father asked me if I have plans to enroll in a magic institute.
"I always had a dream to study magic at empirical magic institute located at capital where mother used to teach magic before marriage."
I said exactly to my father what I was planning he said it's alright with his heavy heart.
-----
It was always same whenever something related to capital comes up. I knew it was related to my mother and father's marriage for that reason I never asked father or mother about this topic. "I cannot see them being sad. And I know someday they will tell me everything"
But there was a lot of time before I enroll into school
Atleast 2 to 3 years therefore I decided to become an adventurer gaining experience by going on different quests.
-----
I took this decision of adventuring because of that night.
When I was 6 years old there was a bandits attack on our village one night everyone in our village were so terrified. Whole village was on fire that night.
Many lost their homes as bandits move forward into the village it was a horrible sight. Me and mother were on a stroll that night when we encountered 3 bandits they told us to handover all the money we have and were going to hurt mother.
------
I was so terrified that my body felt heavy. Then mother console me and told me to close my eyes.
I mean iam not a bad child that do not obey his mother but I opened my eyes to make sure if mother was okay then I saw mother's ice magic piercing through their bodies. All three of them were drop dead on the spot. It's not a good thing to say but I was relieved.
Then I saw rest of the bandits there were 9 of them running for their lives because a person with a black sword was chasing them and when that person hit those bandits with long range fire magic combined with blade I recognised "flamebearer" my father's sword. Bandits head was cut clean in one single strike that night I came to know who my parents really were "Heroes " I was worried about them being hurt but I came to know that it was not then who needed protection it was bandits.
After that incident I made a decision to be as strong warrior as my father and a mage as good as my mother.
