Chapter 12: The Beginning Of Adventures
"what's up Ara?" asked Fayer with a serious concern for Ara.
"Oh it's nothing don't worry, I'm just thinking about how to get stronger in a week" Ara was in deep thought but came up with nothing.
"Ara come with me," said Fayer hiding a small yet proud smile on her face seeing how determined Ara was of becoming powerful.
Ara followed Fayer inside the house, as they got into the house she turned to Ara and spoke calmly "Ara this is something I've been working on for a year in the mornings, while I'm out gathering herbs to sell at the market, its a map of the surrounding area there's a place on the map you might have to try your luck on, it's a small overgrown temple on the south-west I had found it while gathering misty grass" Fayer handed Ara the map and rubbed the top of his head playfully "seeing you growing up is making your sister proud Ara" Fayer smiled and gave Ara a hug.
"Fayer when I know I'm strong enough to face all the problems that are Infront me?" Questioned Ara, wondering in his head what all of these secrets he's got has to do with him, like his Pheonix god veins and a mysterious Celestial book in his mind.
"Ara you will know if you're strong enough to handle something but the one thing you must not do and that's giving up, no matter how hard you think something is, giving up is not the question, look at me I brought you up without parents, and I think as your sister I've done pretty well." Fayer joyfully yet jokingly expressed that she was the best sister ever.
"For now though Ara get some sleep if you've got a week to do something then I suggest making sure you've got what I call power food with you!" Fayer gave Ara some already made balls of rice mixed with herbs and seasoning wrapped up in a food cloth to be stored away on him.
Ara looked at his sister smiled and went to bed, he closed the door sat on his bed and crossed his leg, he got into a meditative posture, closed his eyes and began to suck in the Qi around him.
But his mind wasn't resting he had alot on his mind that he needed answers to, "what is happening to me? Why is all this suddenly playing on my mind?" Ara asked himself non-stop in his mind.
The next morning Ara woke up after an awful night sleep with black blue bags under his eye like a little human panda, Ara got up and went out of his room.
As he got out his room he was too tired to see where he was walking and so Ara ended up tripping over himself falling face-first onto the ground.
"urgh... This is not how I wanted to start the day" Ara spoke sounding like he was eating as his face was squeezed on the floor.
Ara gets up off of the floor, stands up and stretches, then dusts himself off before starting his first adventure.
Ara step foot outside his home, as he opened the door full it creaked with that Fayre come running along as she didn't want to miss Ara on the start of his day.
"Ara! Before you go take this with you!" Fayre had clenched tightly what looks like a white pill, it was giving off an Arua similar to the phoenix blood but alot weaker, "this Ara is what I had picked up one day on my travels, according to the old man sitting by a pond I was at collect Hinckley Leaves and frost stems, he had given this to me and had said that when the time comes and I was in need I would have to eat this to fully recover instantly, that was half a year ago, but you'll need this more then me now so you if you need this take it without hesitation its an Alumni Pill!" Fayre held up the white pill to her eyes and smiled before giving it to Ara, as she passed the pill to Ara, he had felt excited and overwhelmed with what he was about to do.
" thankyou Fayre you're always keeping an eye out for me and making sure I'm alright I'll be sure to make you proud and watch me climb to the very top of this world" Ara spoke with confidence and just.
