1 Chapter 1. The whispering mountains.
Luken.
For more than a decade, all the kingdoms were at war, the earth trembled at the sound of trumpets, announcing the last day on which a man would stand.
Just by raising the sword, we thought we owned almost the whole world, mounted on our wild maroon horses. With just raising the sword, the custom-made helmets How could a child of just seven years old wield the sword with his bare hands?
The armor was too heavy, but we still dealt with how to defeat our enemies, the war cries were heard everywhere, even to the top of the mountains.
The three heir sons to the Drackous throne fighting for peace with the other kingdoms, that was what we expected from the other neighboring kingdoms, but we were deceived by them. They isolated us in a part of the mountains to make sacrifice and show the other kingdoms that they did not need an Empire that they could worship.
In a moment of almost having victory and defeating the enemy, the mountains began to murmur, they were the cries of a woman giving birth. I, the third crown prince to the throne, peeked over a rock, and found out what was wrong with him. When I got closer, I saw her lying on the sharp rocks, she had given birth to a girl, she looked up, suddenly she gasped, she seemed to suffer a lot, she had wounds all over her body, legs, arms and face. They seemed to be for a sword, whip and arrows. What he saw was the royal armor, he seemed to fear the nobility, with a choked voice he told me:
____ Please do not kill me! _____ she told me with tears in her eyes ______ I ask you please!
_____ N - no, I won't ____ I replied stammering
There was blood everywhere, due to childbirth and the multiple injuries she had.
____ Take my daughter away from her ____ said the woman in agony ____ I will not be able to be there for her
____ I'm just a child _____ I answered dumbfounded ____ I'm just seven years old
The woman laughed at the nonsense she had just said, perhaps wondering how a child of just seven years old was in the war? Or how his parents sent him into an endless battle? With a slight sigh the woman took her last breath looking up at the sky and caressing her newborn daughter's cheek with her hands, I didn't know what to do, so I rushed to take the girl in my little arms and wrap her in my tunic that hung on my shoulders.
Despite being small, I held her firmly, I heard someone's footsteps and I looked to see who she was. She was my older brother.
______ Luken! _____ scream loudly ____ You little idiot! Where are you?!
____ A-here brother ____ I answered stuttering
He is my older brother Kazan, he was older than me, he was eighteen years old, the firstborn of our father. He always had that coldness on his face, no one dared to question his words, not even our father. It was always like this after our mother died.
_____ What do you have wrapped there? _____ I ask coldly
_____ She is a newborn baby ____ I said
_____ Is this why you've stopped chasing our enemies?!______ I yelled in a loud voice
______ I'm just a kid! ____ I shouted back _____ I don't know how to ride a horse and I don't know how to wield a sword either!
_____ Well, you should ____ continued _____ at your age I had already destroyed a battalion!
The others who followed my older brother,
they arrived at the place where we were, one of them was wounded, Phoenix, Lorenzo, Sergio and along with them came my second older brother Nathanael, who helped Sergio to walk.
______ What's going on Kazan? _____ Nathanael asked lazily
______ Who is she kazan? ____ points to the woman _____ Do you know her? ____ Lorenzo asked him
_____ What stupid thing are you saying Lorenzo?! _____ yell _____ You better leave that girl here and let the wolves eat them along with her mother!
The others and I were shocked by how my older brother Kazan said those words.
_____ B-but brother ____ I said with tears in my eyes _____ look at her she is a baby
_____ Hey let me see _____ Nathanael said ____ she is very beautiful, she is white like snowflakes and she has blond hair like the rays of the sun
____ I want to see too ____ Phoenix approached _____ Oh it's true
____ Let me see her too ____ approached Sergio limping _____ it's true she is very beautiful Do you really want to leave her Kazan?
My older brother Kazan turned around and crossed his arms and said:
______ Good! but you will feed it! ____ he said angrily
______ Of course yes _____ I said happily
______ We are going to be good brothers for her _____ said Nathanael
______ Don't overdo it Nathanael_____ Kazan answered with a punch on Nathanael's shoulder ______Let's go to the castle, and you! You'll have to give an explanation to our father! _____ he said with authority
Kazan was about to mount her hair when Nathanael speaks to him.
____ Hey Kazan_____ firmly
_____ What do you want now? ____ I laughed
______ What name will we give it? ____ said Nathanael smiling
Kazan turns to him and answers
_____ Why don't you name it after your horse? Maybe that's how you get attached to her _____ he said with disdain
Nathanael was about to punch Kazan in the face, but Lorenzo stopped him in time.
______ Moron ! _____ Nathanael raises his fist
______ Enough already _____ Lorenzo intervened _______ it will be better to leave this for later, we must return to the palace
Before we left, we buried the baby's mother, we didn't know her name, so my second eldest brother carved a rectangular stone and also carved some letters on it, with the name called "The Murmuring Mountains".
Until the next chapter.
