"Hay Marcos, can you fill me with the details of that Jacob accident" Nicolas said
"Sure why not" Marcos replied
"You know that I have been preparing for his training but I couldn't get off my responsibilities before he was eight" Marcos started his story
"His life wasn't anything good at that time"
After he was born , that phenomenon that happened back then shocked the people and scared them .
As you know humans are the most unpredictable when scared but the newborn was lucky that someone defended him or else he would have been burned to death
Those ignorant villagers were too scared of him to act against him at first,for four years he was until one day the kid got himself into a fight and was beaten black and blue
Then they knew that kid "the son of the devil or kin slayer as they called him"
Is just a normal kid and whoever hurts him will not be suffering from what his own family did , they finally realized that it was just an unfortunate accident
But knowing that he is normal was too late.
A miracle was needed to forget the fear they lived in
The fear turned into hatred.
And the hatred grew every day
So what can happen to a little kid in his place in your opinion, Nicolas"
Nicolas replied in a gloomy voice that sends shivers to one's soul "they acted against him"
"Actually they couldn't, at least the grown ups couldn't , the man who protected him at his birthday was there for him " Marco replied
"Despite how weak he is,he deserves to be called a father.you know i really admire him ,so weak and small nearly neglectable in the biggest scheme of things , but he is daring enough to curse me at my face for that kid, knowing who i am , he is like an ant that is setting on an emperor's throne , majestic but fragile
At least he's done better than a certain emperors I know"he continued with disdain
That man held a war axe and stood in the middle of the village and threatened to not leave a single recognizable piece of flesh of whoever touches this kid, quite impressive don't you think "
"The adults couldn't bring him any harm but the other kids were able to , and his father didn't middle much hoping that he will be able to make friends with them , kids are innocent and pure they will be getting along some how ,he hoped , but kids who have been fed hatred were not the Angles he thought of , so they stated bullying him for the next four years with some accidents of being beaten nearly to death once every while but he didn't complain to his father , his father was concerned but when he asked he was told that they were playing by his son so what could he do"
That continued for a while until the kid started hurting himself,I wasn't able to know why though "
"Every time he got beaten he returned until the kids bunches and kicks didn't hurt that much anymore , he tried to hold weapons , and his father as a blacksmith knew a thing or two about how to weald a sword so he taught the kid ,on a wooden sword off course and the tables turned fast ,soon he was able to beat some kids before begin beaten , of course he was clumsy but he learned how to fight,the more he fought back the more he got beaten but he never stopped,form then on he wasn't the only one going back home seriously hurt"
"His mentality held even though it was hard it wasn't devastating for him ,until one day some visitors came to the village ,two weeks before I arrived"
"The Newcomers heard his story but weren't blinded by hate so they felt pity for the eight years old kid ,there were from a nearby village and came for a trade "
"The usual scene repeated itself , the kid fought as hard as he could , until he could no more"
"When the kid was being beaten he didn't make a sound but again he was powerless ,he looked at the so called adults who were smiling at his misery with cold eyes but nobody noticed his hatred filled gaze "
That day he was against nearly twenty kids
Eleven were laying on the ground and he was the twelve's
At that moment a shout was heard and a kid holding a large wooden stick jumped and kicked the kid who was beating nolan at the head
And started beating the other kids violently
But they started to gang up on him at that moment , nolan noticed then he slowly stood up and fought again side by side with the Newcomer
For the first time the other kids were the ones to run away
After the fight both Nolan and the newcomer sat at the ground catching their hatched breathe
The kid smiled and raised his hand for a hand shake "hey I'm Jacob ,nice to meet you"
Nolan sat there looking at the jacop's hand without moving an inch
"Why aren't you talking, aren't you that cursed child"
Nolan flinched when he heard that name
" You know ,us beating them up was cool,but having a Nick named like that one is badass ,I think you are cool enough, I've decided we can be friends"
Nolan sat there looking at the jacob's eyes for a moment
"I'm Nolan , nice to meet you" Nolan replied while shaking his hands
"Hey,who taught you how to fight like this you looked like a knight Of the legends"
"My father" nolan replied
"Wow, is he a knight" Jacob asked
"No he is a blacksmith" Nolan said
"-_-"
Jacob sat there perplexedly for a moment and then asked "can blacksmiths fight ? , well I guess they can "
Nolan got up and started walking away and Jacob followed him
"Hay, you are weird why did you walk away without saying anything,where are you going ,your body is pursed does that hurt"
Jacob started raining him with questions
And Nolan answered everyone of them unknown to him there was a faint smile on his lips
Nolan's father was quite surprised to see another kid coming home with him
At that time they heard a voice "Jacob you little devil where have you been" an old man shouted
"Who is he"Nolan asked
"He is our village chief ,don't believe him he is the real devil here" Jacob said while hiding behind Issac
The old man came closer until he reached Issac and shook his hand"it seems that your son has found a friend "
Issac smiled and said "he seems to have found another trouble maker"
The old man asked "about our deal when are you going to be able to deliver the weapons"
"About a week and a half"Issac
"Can't it be a little faster , the monsters are coming nearer as we speak" replied the village chief
"Sadly no I still have to travel to Oakley to bring the materials so a week and half is the limit"
"Haaah,I guess that can't be avoided" the old man said
"Issac Have you considered leaving this village you know it's good for both of you"he continued
"I'm staying here for him , I'm not the only one who he is attached to" Issac said
"Well ,How about you let him choose,he seems to be having fun with little Jacob . Let him come with us until you deliver the weapons then decide,and it will be safer for him without you around" the old man said
Issac looked at nolan , with a sight he said " I think it will be a good experience for him to act like a kid once "
