-True Identity-

-Author's note-

Hello Everyone! I hope you will like this chapter! It is a bit short, I know, but I was out with some friends of mine, so I didn't have a lot of time today. I'm sorry!

I promise I'll start writing longer chapters in the future tho! :))

Now, enjoy the chapter!

Elijah's POV

We were getting closer to the place where we would start doing the spell to get to the school.

We've been traveling for about 5 hours. Yes, I know. That is a lot of walking, but it's worth it. I think...

"The old man has been mumbling something to himself for the past 5 minutes. I wonder if he's finally gone crazy this time. I guess traveling is not made for him." I thought to myself smirking.

Time skip

We have been walking for 7 hours now. I think the old man is getting really tired... I didn't know that we would have to walk this long.

Before I could say anything, I saw a huge mountain ahead of us. It was so tall, that I couldn't see the top.

-Elijah- Is that mountain our destination?

-The Shopkeeper- Yes... but the journey is still at it's beginning. I am very tired, so maybe we should spend the night here and then we will proceed to climb the mountain tomorrow.

-Elijah- Tch, whatever.

-The Shopkeeper- What? Then, you want to keep going?

-Elijah- Haah, alright we'll spend the night here then.

After we found a good place to spend the night, we started to unpack some stuff and put up a tent.

Time skip

The old man woke me up in the morning. I was a little annoyed, because he didn't let me sleep for some more, but I guess climbing the mountain is more important than sleeping right now.

-Elijah- So, we'll start the climbing now, I assume?

-The Shopkeeper- Yes, but before that, I have something to tell you.

-Elijah- What is it old man?

-The Shopkeeper- I just want to say, that you should stop calling me "Old man". I have a proper name, you know?

What? He's is finally going to tell me his name? After all these years? Tch.

-The Shopkeeper- Let me introduce myself properly to you. My name is Mr. Markus Swan. At least, that is the name I was given... but enough of that.

I ask you to use the "Mr." with my name, for personal reasons. I have no time to tell you why, so you have to figure it out yourself.

He has no time to tell me? Bullshit. We still have to climb the mountain. He just doesn't want to tell me the rest of the story. I know he's hiding something from me, but I'll figure out the rest by myself.

I wonder if Riley knows his true name. She probably doesn't know.

-Mr. Markus- Are you ready to climb the mountain?

-Elijah- Yes, of course, Mr. Markus Swan~

-Mr. Markus- Stop, my name is not a joke!

What does he mean by that?

-Elijah- What do you mean?

-Mr. Markus- Ugh, it's nothing.

-Elijah- Tch.

-Mr. Markus- Anyway, let us go.

To be continued.
