Legend Of The Little Boy

As Aeron walked out of the gate feeling invigorated from the fact that he was going to see the world the nine-year-old felt that he would first look for a friend as he was quite lonely with no one to talk to. He started feeling that maybe he could find a friend near the river as the elements pulled him towards it.

When he got there he found a boy unconscious in the river. The boy looked about 13 had bright silver hair and was blowing bubbles in the water as he seemed to be drowning. Aeron jumped in and pulled the boy to shore and out of the water. He remembered something his Dad told him and presses on the boy's c.h.e.s.t which caused water to come out of his mouth. Then he put his lips on the other boys and blew air into it. He repeated that process several times and found water to keep coming out so he used a different method.

He took the boys back and pounded on it and even more, water came out. He blew more air into the boy's mouth and then realized he could use Mana instead and put wind Mana in but then remembered that he shouldn't reveal he's a mage or a cultivator because he might slip up and show the other job as well. He couldn't reveal he had more than one element because it was uncommon so he should use only one element in front of others. This was all information told to him so that he wouldn't be hurt by others according to his Dad.

He then decided acting a cultivator was more useful overall in practicality and thus made a vow to himself not to use the other magic in front of other people. The boy's reddish-purplish eyes started flickering and with one last pound thank last of the water came out. Aeron was about to celebrate when a knife was put on his neck by the boy.

"Who are you and where are we?"

"Hey, I saved you why are you attacking me?" Aeron asked the boy.

"Tell me now."

"Well actually I don't know where we are either but I'm Aeron. I found you in the water drowning."

"Who sent you!?"

"Well, actually I just left my home so if you could tell me if you know where wondrous things are please tell me as I'm looking for them."

The boy sheathed his knife and replied while looking at the muscles outlined by the wet shirt and imagined how they could be dangerously used to attack him all the while forming plans began to introduce himself.

"My name is Alistair Nestor, Second Prince of the Nestor Empire." As the boy said that extreme pride filled his voice and his face began to turn icy as he saw the lack of reaction from Aeron.

Why is he looking at me like that am I supposed to know it wait etiquette is to uh "Of course I know the great and powerful Nestor Empire."

"Yes, for if you didn't know if I'd call you an uneducated fool as we are the first ranking of the heavenly kingdoms and everyone knows about is if they have even the slightest knowledge."

Aeron begins to sweat at this because that would mean he is uneducated but he knows quite a bit about where they live, cultivation and the elements.

"Of course me being the knowledgeable prince that I am as thanks for you rescuing me I'll explain something to you there are multiple worlds and realms most aren't important but the highest realm us the immortal realm that's where my Nestor Empire is located."

The Alistair promptly fell over a wound which went unnoticed by Aeron had opened and had made Alistair faint from the loss of blood.

This resulted in Aeron once again trying CPR before he remembered that he needed a poultice to stop the bleeding as the years of herbology and others came into play. Though what he learned might not seem like a lot if you put a sponge in water and waited for the water to fill it up he would've already been done comprehending and reading a couple chapters in a book by the time it's done.

As he left Alistair opened his eyes and wondered about whether he had been abandoned and as a prince, he must take endurance training so neither the pain nor the blood loss affected him much. He felt that he had probably gone to get the bandit's to rob him. Alas, perhaps a good thing while the imagination of Alistair was quite strong and would continue to be like that, all that happened was Aeron came with herbs and mixed them together and spread it on Alistair's wound.

Aeron while rubbing the poultice in started humming a song that came to mind. Aeron quickly finished rubbing it in and then said to himself

"Can't have my friend dying otherwise I won't have one."

Alistair felt the cool herbs mix with the injury, stop the pain and started to close the wound.

Alistair was curious about why the boy who had only just met him decided that he was his friend. Didn't his father or mother ever tell him about the danger of strangers? Well, I might as well teach himself since he knows nothing he can be easily molded to assist me.

Alistair opened his eyes and thanked Aeron then got up till he was forced back down to the ground by Aeron who said that he needed to rest not hurt himself more. Alistair tried to get up again and was forced down again to which Alistair angrily shouted.

"Let me up!" To which a response was yelled right back at him

"You need to rest!"

Alistair later stopped resisting and fell asleep from the healing process and the blood recovery happening. As Alistair got up he looked behind himself with the water and could only see a faint scar.

"Hey, Aeron how long was I asleep?"

"A few days! I have to get to the- then his face seemed to darken in rage and then it dimmed down as he recalled something."

"Hey what's wrong?"

Alistair felt that this kid was much better than that woman she abandoned him because he didn't attend to her every need and she even sent her personal guards to kill him. Luckily they failed and he would get revenge.

This was a nice kid he could be friends or even perhaps something more than that it depended on the request. After all, tradition requires one to give repayment to someone you saved. He shook his head before continuing his train of thought. Yes, that would be perfect but first I have to get to know him then I will owe no one. I can repay him once he requests something if me. And, thus using the code of conduct Alistair asked for his request.

"What do you want as repayment for your actions?"

"For you to be my friend."

Alistair froze and Aeron started worriedly asking his name.

"Alistair! Alistair!"

"Yes?"

"You weren't responding so I thought I lost my friend."

"Oh, you'll never lose me."

"Okeeeeeeey but what do you mean by that?"

"I'll be your a friend forever." Thinks of incident and how he has to repay him.

"Ok, I thought you meant something else.

"I would never do that to you."

And so they walked off into the sunset when all of a sudden

"Where are we going?" Sounded out.

"I don't know."

"Well, should we continue walking then?"

"Yes."
