after the "incident" I spent my second day casually strolling around the capital, seeing new things around, getting some meat skewers, it's these little moments… that we should cherish the most
for at the end of the day those who lose themselves in pursuit of power, will wake up one day to find they missed out on a lot…
( not that I'm one to talk )
but , still I am very grateful for this life.. being able to see the light and yes, the darkness so clearly, it's much easier here
I know my enemies, unlike before, I am not helpless, and I won't let this world take anything from me
not my peace , not my family
anyone who gets even close won't have time to regret it
* the next day *
Alexander : "did you have fun on your days off?"
Colt [ smiling] : "yes, I had a lot of fun, I learned a lot of things too, thank you Alexander"
Alexander : "good, then prepare yourself for a long journey… we're heading home"
it took about three months by carriage, we were guarded by adventurers the whole way and yet, I couldn't relax, if an ogre or an earth dragon were to attack, or an orc horde, these people won't stand a chance
I kept "search" going, it is now capable of telling what kind of being I am sensing
it was a little rough on me ,but , no matter what, I won't let Alexander die
after we finally arrived Alexander said I was on vacation for the duration of our stay, which is a month
Mark should be done working by now
better head home
[ Colt reaches his house standing right at the door, hesitant]
how should I react? What to say? It's been a year and three months, I don't know what to do in these situations
* opens the door*
Colt : "mom, dad , I'm home"
damn, I think I blew it
* hears mark running*
* while Clarissa is coming slowly*
* Mark hugs his son tightly and Clarissa joins in*
Mark [ tender warm voice] : "welcome back ,son"
Clarissa [ in a bit of a teary voice] : "we missed you"
Colt : "I missed you too"
wait… I actually did miss them… for the first time in ages… I felt something good
I closed my eyes and… it was the first time I hugged back
after a teary reunion, I noticed something that I never saw coming
Clarissa was pregnant
[ flash back]
let them enjoy their lives a little
[ end of flash back ]
guess they did
careful you two, this one won't be as easy as me
this one is gonna put you through the ringer
enjoy the sleepless nights
Colt : "have you decided on a name yet?"
Mark : "oh, you noticed, well , if it's a boy Clarence, if it's a girl Clarice"
both names relate to light and brightness
if Mark knew what I was doing he couldn't have come up with better names
if I didn't know better, it would seem like he's referring to the future I'll create
are you kidding me???
fifteen days later Clarissa gave birth… it was Clarice
thankfully, there was no need for me to step in
I spent the next fifteen days watching over my new little sister
one thing to know, the old domain lord has retired again and now his son is in control, luckily, he's just like his father
this place is going to be safe for a while longer
now it's time for us to leave again
just before leaving I boosted my sister's immune system
also I gave them 2 L.G coins from the diamonds
working with Alexander is profitable I said
this should be enough
be back in 1 year 9 months
