4 Chapter 3: A Voice Unheard

"Hey you sleeping well Kid, you didn't think you'd see me again? No? Oh come on it's me the only one you can trust in this world! Leave you alone? HAHAHAHHA no can do buddy till death due us apart ah looks like my time is up bye bye little buddy be seeing you soon!!" Exit unknown

*cough cough* Kid begins to wake himself from the jolt that The Old Man did to him. He finally manages to get light to his eyes and sees a burning candle on a end table next to him, he shifts in the bed to try and crawl out from under the sheets. As he plants his feet on the floor and exhales heavily.

He already knows where he is and knows it's best to stay in the room before Liliana arrives, he goes over to the water bowl and sees his reflection softly in the bowl. Kid wasn't the most handsome but was definitely a eye catcher, however people always stayed their distances due to the scar on his face. it's the scar of the abandoned ones. a lost tribe of humans presumably all extinct expect for him.

As he's lost in his own thoughts he's finally brought back to reality by Liliana with a hard slap on the back. "What are you doing out of bed Kid, do you have any idea how much ether I used to heal the grotesque wound you received to your chest? Your arm was an easy one to fix."

Liliana the caretaker and owner of an orphanage and a ether healer a rare and lost art, not many humans can learn it she's 1/100000 of a human that could learn, to boot she was young crisp around 31 she's what everyone would call a natural loving mother.

Kid smiles lightly "Sorry, just thirsty, don't ground me." As Kid says it sarcastically, Liliana gives him a soft smack upside the head for his joking. "Come on the little ones want you too play, that's your payment for making me work so hard."

The light shines brightly as Kid steps outside and he can hear the laughter of young children playing in the yard, one comes running over a young male half demi-mix between forsworn and beastkin "Kid you're awake come on let's go and practice sparring, I heard you got beat up again, where's your girlfriend, after we spar let's get food, I want grilled snakefish my favorite, what's your favorite oh I know-!" as the young boy continued to ramble on Kid smiled and was dragged along with him

"Alright alright alright Altos, we can spar later I just recovered from a heavy wound and need to recover just a little more, I promise we can soon though." Kid says in almost pleading voice

"Do you promise promise!" Altos says excitingly

"I promise promise but for now I sense Liliana wishes to speak with me." Kid escapes by using the same old excuse. Kid wasn't actually wrong Liliana did wish to speak to him and of course it's the same question again.

"It's almost time for the ceremony for the farmland, What have you thought of offering to the great one?" Liliana asks curiously

"Same thing as last year, nothing." Kid scoffs. "Listen, I know your stand on this but do you really want spend a week worth of punishment from the capital in the pit again?" Liliana says while expressing concern.

The pit, a horrid place home to the most foul of criminals in Archlion, Kid has been there 2 times now. In the kingdom when you turn 15 you are consider an adult and can be tried as one.

"I survived it two times I'll survive it a third time, The Old Man doesn't even try to convince me anymore." Kid says in retaliation. "I'll be back tomorrow for a check up, till then take of the little ones." Kid begins to walk away when he hears the footsteps of Altos "Remember you promised me when you're better we'll spar be prepared I've been practicing hard!"

Those words made a reminiscing moment in Kids mind when he shouted them at The Old Man. He puts up two fingers and waves as he walks away."I won't Altos, till then." Kid say's while walking away.
