3 Madness: SAFETY
[4 years later]
Ezekiel was 5 years old, and was handling a stick that was as long as him.
Ezekiel: Ha! Take this!
He was attacking the air, trying to look like his father. His sister was laughing at the side, in only 4 years, she became a beauty that many teens would only dream of sleep with, guess that's what the puberty can do.
Ezekiel was a bit higher than before, his black hair became more longer, and reached his ears, he wore clothes that a normal person should wear, his forehead was full of sweat as he swung the stick for a long time.
Suddenly, the door to the backyard opened, revealing Amanda, the wife of Bora and mother of Ezekiel and Sarah.
Amanda: Kids, the lunch is ready.
Sarah stood up from the ground and dusted herself, while Ezekiel let go of the stick and rushed to the house with a smile on his face.
Ezekiel was the first to reach the table, the second were Amanda and Sarah, but Bora wasn't there ye-
*Knock* *Knock*
Nevermind, he arrived. The door opened, revealing Bora.
Bora: I'm back home!
Amanda: Welcome home, dear, what did you hunt?
Bora: Some small fry and a Earth Dragon.
Amanda: An Earth Dragon? Are you ok, dear?
Bora: Haha, yeah! That little runt can't even injure me.
Ezekiel: Earth Dragon? What is that?
Bora: Haha, it is a really big beast, that thing looks like a giant cockroach, but it is actually just weaker than those monsters of the Super Class…
Ezekiel: Super Class?
Bora: Yes, outside there, there is a species called Danger Beasts, they are fearsome creatures that attack anyone of us that they see, so you need to be careful when you encounter one, ok?
Ezekiel: Yes!
Bora: There are 6 classes:
Class 4 are the weakest one, your father here could take ten thousand of them and not have a scratch!
Ezekiel: ...What is a "Thousand"?
Bora: (._.)
Ezekiel: …
Sarah/Amanda: Pfft… Hahahahahaha!
Sarah: Hahaha, good one, brother…
Ezekiel: Good one? I just asked a question…
Sarah: Hahahahahahaha!
Amanda: Haaah… Sweetie, a thousand is a big number, about ten thousand... Oh, think of it as the number of people in a city.
Ezekiel: Ohhhh! Dad is amazing!
Bora: Damn right I a-Ouch!
Amanda pinched Bora's hand and said.
Amanda: No curses in front of my son.
Bora: Oh… Sorry hone-
Ezekiel: ...Damn…
Bora: (・_・;)
Amanda: ....Dear?
Bora: ...RUN!!
Bora sat up from the chair and crashed through the window, before running away from his house while his wife followed him with a wooden spoon on her hand. Why would someone like Bora be afraid of a wooden spoon? God knows where that spoon ends in, and Bora wasn't curious to know about it…

Ezekiel was with his father traveling in the woods.
Ezekiel: What will you go hunt?
Bora: Whatever comes here, son. *Sniff* Something is nearby.
Ezekiel: ...Did you sniff it out?
Bora: The Danger Beasts stink of poop because they rarely clean themselves, either poop or blood.
Ezekiel: Ewww…
Bora: Hahaha, if you want to be like your father then you need to behave like a real man!
Ezekiel's eyes narrowed and quickly nodded, his dream was to be as strong as his father, so he is treating him as a idol.
Bora walked towards a direction and told Ezekiel to stay silent, which he obeyed. Then they reached an open zone, they hid behind a tree and saw a giant green frog with red spots and yellow eyes.
Bora: A Kaiser Frog…
Ezekiel: Father…
Bora: Shhh, he is the strongest frog-type of monster out there.
Ezekiel: Mn…
Bora: Stay here, I will take care of him, watch as your father easily defeat him, ok?
Ezekiel: I know that father can do it, he is the strongest!
Bora nodded and ruffled Ezekiel's hair, then he walked out from the tree, he reached another tree and grabbed it, Ezekiel watched as how his father literally ripped off a whole tree from the ground with a bit of strength and threw it at the frog, hitting it on the side and causing it to croak in pain.
The frog turned around and looked straight at Bora, before his mouth got slightly larger and shot out his long tongue. Bora extended one arm and let the tongue coil around the arm, the acids that were on the tongue slightly hurt Bora, but not enough to cause a problem.
Bora pulled the tongue, pulling the frog along with him, and used his other arm to unsheathe his heavy sword and slam it on the frog, cutting it in two in a single strike.
Ezekiel: Woah…
Bora smirked and turned around, but that smirk turned into a frown when he saw a big horned yellow lion behind Ezekiel, ready to crush him. Bora's eyes widened and dashed to Ezekiel while letting out a warcry, causing Ezekiel to cry from fear as he fell down paralyzed, however, he just noticed the shadow of the beast behind him.
Bora reached Ezekiel before the horned lion killed him, and used himself as a meat shield to protect Ezekiel, receiving some large cuts on his back due to the beast's claws.
Bora: Urgh…
Ezekiel: D-Dad!!
The beast roared and pounced at Bora, who got up and grabbed its horns, stopping it in its movements.
Bora: You fucking beast! I'll kill you for trying to touch my son!
Bora used all of his remaining strength to lift the beast and slam it on the ground, breaking one of his horns, and then he used the broken horn to pierce the beast's head through its mouth.
He took deep breaths as he got down and his heart calmed down, then he gritted his teeth from the pain in his back.
Ezekiel, who was still crying, rushed to his father and held on his arm.
Ezekiel: Dad! Waaaah… I-It's my fault… please don't leave me… Wuuuu…
Bora forced a smile through all of the pain in his back and patted Ezekiel's head.
Bora: It isn't your fault, I shouldn't take you in these dangerous places to begin with…
Ezekiel: Waaaaah!!
He cried on Bora's arm as he slowly recovered a bit there, then he took Ezekiel at home, obviously Amanda punished Bora about what he did, but then she took care of his back as best as she could.
