(3 Years...)

 Oh, the years do go by fast! Esu has finally reached the age of 15 with a decent grip on magic and excellent sword skills. Esu still like to act like a child with Silvia simply because he was happy to have her in his life. He barley remembers his actual parents, but he still has a grave made for them. Now in his life he has Silvia as his mother and 4 younger siblings. Although he and Silvia recently rescued the children, he still took care of them as an older brother would. He even helped Silvia to train his younger siblings. It was the family Esu also dreamed of and on his own time he'd keep on training hi magic. Though his mana was stable his actual spells were not and would burst from too much power. 

 Esu would go deep into the forest to train his magic. He was able to cast most basic spells without issue. Even still he would have a misfire and it would explode due to overloading his mana into it. When he returned home his four younger siblings were waiting for him outside. Ako, Lily, Mia, and Issac the four of them looked up to Esu and wanted to be just like him. Ako didn't have any magic but was working on his sword skills. Lily was born with a basic element Water and tried her best to learn it. Mia also had no magic but was great with a bow and arrow. Issac took a different path and wanted to lean medicine. 

 Esu went out each day into the forest to train but always made slow progress with it being unstable. Silvia would watch over the rest of the children and train them each in their own subject. Though Silvia could sense something was wrong during this time and couldn't help but worry though she would never show it to the others. Esu's magic on the other hand was becoming more explosive and uncontrollable. Silvia started to notice this and would often cry every night when they went to bed. Esu though never lost hope can would keep training day and night he would even spend the night out in the forest. "Esu!!!! Come eat dinner!" Silvia shouted into the forest and Esu would come out to eat dinner with her and the rest. This was how their daily lives were and it was a peaceful one in their minds. 

 - - - - Hmm something isn't right Silvia thought to herself as she looked around the forest one night. She told the kids to go to bed early and Esu was still deep within the forest somewhere. She stepped outside to see what was going on she scanned the forest to any mana in the area. Soon enough she picked up on someone's mana in the forest, but it wasn't Esu's mana. Silvia recognizes what Esu's mana looks like but what she saw was a darker and corrupted mana the intent to kill was strong.
