1 Axel

it's getting dark as a boy full of curl red hair is saying bye to his friends and he runs near a shop

"Hey axel come inside" a bearded man with a hammer said to the boy

"coming" the boy named axel runs in and trip over nothing as the bearded man caches him

"be careful boy" the bearded man picks him up and puts him on his shoulder

"thanks Dad" axel father is the local blacksmith in the village a former adventure until he settled down in Mallory

"dad can you tell more stories of when you were a adventurer"

"sure kiddo but after that you go to sleep" putting axel down he gets in a chair and pats his thigh, axel jumps on his lap as he asks "oh how about the one with the snow wolf pack, or the salamander"

"how about a new one, ah I know how about the earth snake" as he clears his throat and starts his story

he and his party are running from a huge snake "come on John why you take the quest if didn't know it had parents" said a blonde man with a sword and shield " Will if I knew I wouldn't have taken it"

"oh shut up you guys this no time for arguing" a girl with a robe on and a wand on her side "hey Hanna what did I do" a guy with daggers yell "you did nothing jack and that's the problem" a girl with long ears and a bow yelled back

"why are we running and not doing anything" a girl with a robe and staff said while putting a buff on John and Will

"thanks for the buff mia" as John griped his axe and gave the snake a good chop with it as will blocked the snake from bitting John and slashed at the snake but missed as it dodged when a arrow penetrated the snake eye it hiss in pain then a fireball launched at it flesh burned with a hisss

"Haa" yell John as his axe glowed and cut of the snake's head "nice work" said will

"well coal what did you do this time" said the girl with a bow said "amber what could I do, I would just get in the way"

then sundenly "Zzzz" axel was sleeping on John's lap "well looks like that's all" as he scoops him up goes upstairs and puts him in his bed

"goodnight" he says as John goes to his room and looks at his axe then looks at panting of him and his friends his eyes watering "what went wrong" he wispers as he goes to bed as well

It's morning once again as a axel wakes up to the sound of a hammer banging over and over as he goes down stairs to the table to see a plate of eggs he scarfs them down a goes to his dad

"am going out to to play" he says to John "don't stay out to late John said as he keeps ponding his hammer

just as axel leaves he sees a girl and a boy

"hey Jordan and ava"

"hey" they said at the same time "so what should we do today"
