1 Cry that couldn't be heard

In a world where people could be judged by power and a world filled with many different types of magic in different places, on one unfortunate night, an event happened, one which would burn great names in the future, whose red thread of fate was written in nothing but pure chaos.

One night with no clouds in the sky and the wind, cold, a little boy, who was running with his bare feet, chapped and blood flowing out of the, stumbled across the ground, while panting, as though he was being chased and he exhaled deeply.

"Catch the mute, don't let him escape, no matter!" Men shouted as they were rushing towards him and she glanced back at them then continued running despite the pain that was surging through his body at that moment and the rain began pouring down.

"I have to get away, why is this happening? Why only just after I came here? First, it was those people and now these people, the ones who were nice to me, Am I the reason they are all dead now?" He asked as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist with nothing but rage in his eyes and his hair blowing in front of his eyes.

Just a few hours ago, on a tall hill near a forest, there was a beautiful building, looking down at the city, which was not so far below it and the laughter of a few people, echoed through the building as though they were all enjoying a party.

But the cheerful laughter didn't last long, lights flashed down upon the building as though judgment was being passed, flashing like fairy lights of many different colors, the entire area was engulfed in flames and part of the building exploded, sending things flying in different directions.

A few figures appeared out of the flames and a few people exited the building which was on fire that reflected in the cloudless night sky.

"I won't forgive, you people cannot keep doing as you please, I won't forgive you, how dare you attack this place?" A woman asked as she looked at them with nothing but hatred in her eyes and a guy chuckled at her as he walked forward.

"You people were just asking for it, you do nothing but create more problems for us, we will simply eliminate all of you," He responded and she gritted her teeth then a fight broke out, destroying parts of the land as it went on.

A cry that couldn't be heard, a man that couldn't be recognized by anyone, the slashes of swords and the cries of people, echoed through a young, mute, fourteen-year-old boy's ears as he lay lifeless on the ground, with blood draining down the side of his face and tears at the edge of his eyes.

He stared at the sky as the heat from the fire around him, felt as though it was about to penetrate through his body, he tried to speak but not a word came out of his mouth as he glanced at the ones fighting, not far from him and he gritted his teeth.

'Huh? My body? I am somehow still alive, but why? Is this my fate? Do I have to die like this, without being able to do anything once again? Why is this happening so suddenly? Who are these people again?' He thought as he exhaled deeply, trying his best to breathe and just then a glimpse of a man, who seemed familiar to him, yet looked unknown, appeared in the sky before him.

"It will be fine, you will be fine but you have to get away, don't be seen, no matter, survive, consider this me repaying you," The guy said in a cold tone as he glanced at him and the young's man's eyes began glowing bright blue as he looked at him and a devilish smirk appeared on the guy face.

"Live, brat, you have a purpose, don't you? Fulfill it," He said.

"Also, what you need to know, is...." He mumbled, quietly but the boy understood him and wondered, what he meant.

The young boy tried his best to talk as the guy before him, body began glowing brighter, reflecting in his eyes, as powerful magic formed in the air above them and he released an attack that sent some of the enemies flying.

The young boy's eyes shook at what he was seeing and at the same time, the ones that attacked them, began attacking the guy, who he saw was stabbed from behind and he gasped.

'I have to get up, this time, I have to move or that will happen... This is something that I cannot stop from happening,' He thought then forced himself to get up and when the guy that was fighting for him, saw, he smiled a little and the young boy took off into the woods.

"There is a kid, he is getting away, catch him!" A guy exclaimed.

They rushed after the young boy and the guy that was fighting gritted his teeth and he kept on running, without looking back, despite wanting to.

Back to the present, where the boy was standing in the woods, with the wind blowing his hair, he exhaled deeply due to being tired from running, but knew that he couldn't stop.

"There he is," The men shouted and he looked at them then scoffed and just when he was about to run off, he was surrounded by men and his brows furrowed as he looked at them.

One of the men was about to grab him, but the boy fought back, throwing punches and kicks, even hurting them, despite his frail body.

When the men realized that he was not afraid of them, they were all about to attack him, without any intention of showing any mercy, despite the fact that he was just a kid and just when they were about to attack.

They were sent crashing across the ground and the boy's eyes widened when he turned around and saw the same man that saved him, standing in front of him.

"Great job, fighting back, even though they are too much for you to handle, you have been through hell, huh? You will go through a lot more after this, just get going, don't put my efforts to waste, please," He said and the young boy gritted his teeth.

"Thank you..." He mumbled as he was about to leave.

"Don't let them get away!"

The men attacked the guy in a pack, as though they were wolves and the young boy's eyes widened as he stared at them and clenched his fist in anger.
