It's time
draydon walked outside and saw the elder carrying sun on his back.
''elder, it's time''
''go sun, pack your things'' as he let go of sun as he was on his knee as sun was getting off and going to his room.
''oh my, 6 years have gone by so quickly''
''indeed, I still remembered the day I found him in the mountain and the time when we though we lost him but found him in the top of the mountain''
they both laugh as elder said '' oh my, he really made us worried but when he disappears, we always found him in the mountain''
as sun was packing his things in bag, he looked at the window that was closed.
''elder, I still think it is better to send them to the city to train instead of here''
''no I want them to train here, I want to see him train and see him grow him''
''but I am not good to train them, most of the village kids have left''
''but I don't want sun to go, I want him to be by my side''
sight* ''I really can't change it, alright we will train in the mountain by the lake side''
elder crouch as he let sun go from his back and put his hand on his shoulder
''Sun, I want you to train, even thought our village is not really a fighter but more of a farmer still it is a dangerous world out there as strength is everything here''
''I will do it grandpa''
smiled as he looked at his grandson '' I know you will''
as the elder walked, draydon also walked beside him
''I really didn't want him to train or anything, I want him to live a simple life but that is impossible after all''
''why do you think that?''
''reality is just different from what we thinks''
'' I have been in a war ever since i was a kid as i grow up to be strong i became something in the kingdom as such i have been in war whether it was internal or external like the war that almost happen between two kingdoms, we never know when we will be attack, it is better to be prepared for such thing than not being prepare''
sight as he walked as draydon was looking at the elder
''you can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.''
''draydon, I know it is a lot to ask but please train Sun to be a strong warrior for I have know what it is outside in the real world''
as they walked, they saw their harvest and some of them working on it...
draydon return but the elder didn't...
''ah where is the elder''
''don't worry about him, we should pack our things since we will be gone for at least a month ''
as sun heard it, he packed his clothes and getting ready..
there were four of them including sun..
''alright lets go''
they walk to the mountain as they reach the lakeside....
''this is where we will train''
''listen here, there is one goal of your that is to defeat me''
''what, defeat you?'' thought as sun was listening to his teacher word.
''alright it is getting late, let's set up the fire and prepare some food as tomorrow our training will start''
as they did, they all went to sleep early...
sun was looking at the stars
''beautiful''
''Sun, right''
sun looked at the side, it was one of the kid that was training gonna train alongside him..
he said nothing but just looked at him for a second and looked at the stars..
''oh you must be tired from the walking, alright I won't disturb you'' said as he closed his eyes..
''it's been 6 years already, I wonder how my parent are doing or my siblings, it is still so strange that I have become a monkey in a new world''
As many thought was coming, he was tired as to reach here; it took an hour of walking as he has never walked that much since coming into this new world..
he slept as the other's also slept...
draydon was in the tree's top staring at the lake..
-----
he remembered what the elder told him while looking at the harvest as some of them was working together..
''look at them, aren't they working so peacefully with each other, happily like they are in love with what they are working''
He looked as the elder told him of; he looked at them, farmers who was working together while talking sometimes laughing sometimes pushing each other as they fall and laughs at each other and doing work again..
''strength is everything in our world compared to the human world which I don't know how much different is their world right now since we started living our own but still in here strength is everything, you know why?''
''because they fear love which creates a world, they can't control as strength is everything which makes it easier to control people like us who are weak whether by physically or mentally''
as he said those words, he looked at draydon
''which is why I want you to train sun, sure if I wanted him to be strong I could send him to city but I don't want to do that so training here is the only way I can afford to''
as he said those words, he looked at the farmers as one farmer saw them
''hey the elder is here''
They looked and saw the elder as they did; they greeted him
''hope I am not disturbing '' shouted by the elder as he laughs
''no elder we are not but we are happy that you were here to look at us''
''draydon, get prepare to leave i wanna do some work with the farmers''
''don't you have work to do as well''
'' I will do it later right now I wanna join them''
as he said those words, the elder went on with the greeting and they talked for a while and the elder also worked with them as he saw..
''why are you so kind why?''
''you saved those people which is why they are working happily, you gave them a home they lost and....''
''you also saved me'' he suddenly remember the word the elder said when the elder helped him...
''it is not so much staying alive that is important but who we are. What we should do is that we don't betray each other.''
''it is a bit embarrass thing to say but everything I have been through in my life, all I could figure out was that we should be kinder to each other''
as he looked at the elder and farmers working together for a while,
he got back to the village...
-----
''I don't really know what to do, training them will be hard but it won't be like in the past, I swear that'' frown as he stare at the lake...
as the night pass by and morning sun arise..
''ALRIGHT, WAKE UP EVERYONE'' shouted
''IT'S TIME''
--------------------------------
they came back after a month of training,
''SUNN'' shouted by the elder as he wave his hand towards him
Sun saw his grandpa waving at him excitedly but he still didn't show any emotion, the elder saw it but was still smiling at him...as they get near
''So, how was the training'' said by the elder while smiling
''Oh, it was good'' said by sun as he looked at his grandpa
he carries sun and round him and put him in his shoulder as the elder went to his home..
''you must be tired''
as they all went to their own places, and it was night, eventually..
as after eating dinner, sun went to his room as his room was dark, the elder came with an candle as sun looked at his grandpa as his grandpa light up the candle "it is dark"
"thank-thank you"
"no need and I am going outside for a while aswell" as he got out of his room as he went outside
''draydon, it's me''
''oh elder, you didn't have to come'' said as he looked at the elder '' I could have come tomorrow morning''...''so is sun sleeping''
''not yet but he enjoy the the food a lot after I cook him a home meal after a month, heh' as draydon smile at it as he walk and draydon follow him ''it's been a while since he had a home meal, I was so happy to see him again''
''you really love him''
''me, of course I love him''
as they walked, the elder sat on the ground so did draydon..
''so how was the training with the other kid''
''oh it was good, ethan who is the oldest is naturally the strongest right now while cato is also strong and intelligent as his father and issac he didn't take the training that much seriously but I did something so he did it after a while''
''and sun, he is strong, very strong''
''oh I am surprise'' said by the elder as he was looking at the stars while draydon was looking at him...
the elder looked at him
''I mean it is his first time training so''
''wait, what?''
''first time that was his training, i thought you train him before''
''why do you say like that, is it what I am thinking''
''oh yes, he is very strong if what you are saying is true then he is going to surpass ethan in no time''
''he is a strong kid'' said as the elder was smiling
''but I don't know why but sun is not willing to even talk with the other student, he seem to be lonely one but the other student are talking and are already friends with each other''
''he doesn't smile at all''
the elder said nothing...
''elder, I still think I am not fit to be a teacher'' said as he looked down
'' I mean, i just don't know, I scold them a lot and sometime even beat them up because they were not doing it or were just lazy I don't really know when training them it just remind me of the past'' said as the elder looked at him
''draydon, look at the star'' said as draydon looked at the star
''isn't it beautiful''
''oh yes it is''
''our lives are brief and trivial'' said by the elder as he looked at draydon
''I used to be afraid as well, I didn't know how I could become a properly elder that could look over this land after what happen''
"I was afraid. Still, I go on." said as he sigh ''and I could do it in the end''
''draydon, you are afraid I know that, these fears that you have is because of something that happen to you in the past and you gotta let it all go out and accept what happen and focus on the present''
draydon was still looking down even after hearing the elder words
''there is always something that we could learn in mistake that we made in the past and that we make sure to not let it repeat otherwise it will continue to repeat until you learn from it, it is a cycle that will never end not until we learn from it and not make the same mistake again''
Draydon said nothing as they spend sometimes together while looking at the stars as sun in his room was standing in front of the closed window as he was having though as he moves his hand towards the window but put his hands down as he went on to his bed.
