Eleanor- Sir … Sir let's play …
Said the child already jumping around Faraam.
Faraam- 'Ahhhhhh … I feel these days are going to be long '
.
.
Currently
It's been five days since the little child arrived at Faraam's house, the adventurer thought it would be an easy task but on the contrary, it turned out to be a great challenge with which the man almost collapsed from fatigue…
Right now Faraam is sitting on his little sofa while Ariandel is putting some ribbons in the man's hair…
Faraam- 'In my entire life I have gone through many challenges, but none of them took me to the extreme of taking care of a child… and I was in the army in my past life…'
Ariandel- annnnddd ready, that way you're much prettier… hehehe
The child laughed as she placed a small mirror in front of Faraam's face, the mirror reflected the exhausted face of the half god who already had deep dark circles under his eyes.
Faraam- 'It doesn't look too bad…. What the fuck am I thinking '
System- 'I think the player is getting attached to someone…. Hahaha'
Faraam- 'System … shut up before I shut you up with my fist '
System- 'Come on Faraam tell the truth … the child is someone very interesting even shares some similarities with you …you look like father and daughter HAHAHAHA'
Faraam- '.... Fucking Animal '
On second thought it wasn't all that bad for Faraam as the child could be very energetic, but she shows above all an insane amount of wisdom. The most incredible thing is the fact that Ariandel made a painting for Faraam as a gift, in this painting time is slowed down by summarizing a minute in the real world, equivalent to an hour inside the painting and this world molds itself according to what the user imagines... something interesting to create dungeons or more elaborate things…
Faraam- Ariandel …
Ariandel- Yes?!
Faraam- Get your things ready and we'll be leaving for Kian soon…
Ariandel- Well… I forgot about that, Mr. Faraam…
Faraam- So in half an hour we will leave…
Ariandel- Lord Faraam ..
The man then looked the child in the eye, but he could only see worry, doubt and innocence in them…
Faraam- What's the problem little Ariandel…
Ariandel- I'm not small….hmf
Faraam- ' My God … I almost die of a heart attack you are so adorable '
Faraam- Sorry what was it then?
Ariandel- It's just that Uncle Gael didn't tell me what we were going to do to Kian or why….
Faraam- 'That old shit… he made it up for me to make up a story….'
Faraam- Hmmm … is that we want you to do a painting, Ariandel …
Ariandel- A painting… ?
Faraam- Yes, but a very specific one, that's why we will go to Kian, to the house of Arthuria the Queen of Kian…
Ariandel- The queen wants a painting of me?
Faraam- Yes yes … she has heard about you and wants you to paint something!
On the innocent child's face a gigantic amount of joy arose…
Ariandel- OHHH …. I'm going to make my greatest work of art Mr. Faraam … I won't let you down …
Said the child now with a look of confidence, seconds later she left the place to prepare to go to the new country…
System- 'Oh my god … I thought you were going to destroy the child's dreams or something … I never thought you would be … affectionate with someone … it makes me confused '
Faraam- 'You know me poorly system, I just think it's the role of adults to create a better world for younger people and help them create a good youth with good memories for them to carry with them into their future…'
System- 'Very poetic player… but if he was an adult would you have destroyed his dreams to his face?'
Faraam- 'Pfff do you think…. Of course I would … whoever tells the truth doesn't deserve punishment hehehe'
System- 'HAHAHA … I think you have a little child waiting for you… or should I say adopted daughter pfff hahaha'
Faraam- 'I swear to you that I will create a body for you just to kill you later…'
System- 'I'll be waiting….'
Looking into a corner of the room there stood Ariandel ready with her painter's outfit and a small backpack on her back.
Faraam- Everything ready?
Ariandel- Yes
Without wasting another second Faraam placed his hand on the child's shoulder and they both disappeared in several particles of light.
kingdom of Kian
In a small street a small light appeared revealing a man and a child after a few moments.
Looking at his sides Faraam can conclude that there was no one there. And then calmly the two walked to the end of the street revealing a large avenue full of people selling and buying products there were also several soldiers guarding the place...
Ariandel seeing so many people she decided to grab Faraam's hand to avoid getting lost in the crowd. After a few minutes of walking the white haired man suddenly stopped ..
Ariandel- Is something wrong, Mr. Faraam?
Faraam- 'Blood … It smell like blood across the street …it is better avoid '
Faraam- AHHH it's that I made a mistake on the way hahaha … it's this way, let's go Ariandel
Changing direction down a small street, the two made an extensive journey through several narrow streets until they reached the castle where they were greeted by Gael who was waiting for them…
Gael- Looks like you made it, Faraam….
Faraam- Yes … we had some unforeseen events, but we managed to arrive …
Gael just nodded and walked to the child's side to guide her to the castle.
Ariandel- Mister Faraam, will we ever see each other again?
The man looked at the child and stroked her head and gave her a smile
Faraam- Of course Miss Ariandel …
And with that the man left the front of the great castle door and went towards the place where he smelled the blood…
Arriving there he felt discomfort ... several soldiers arrived from the battlefield bloodied and wounded, approaching closer to the crowd that stood on the sides of the streets the man asked a stranger what was happening.
Faraam- What happened?
Strange- Don't you know? Her majesty's has now returned with her army after defending the horde's attacks….
Faraam- And left the border unprotected?
Strange- No … the allied army replaces them in defense of the borders of Kian and the army of our great country and its highness have come to restore their forces…
Faraam- And how many lost their lives?
Weird- I'm not sure, but I've heard about 20%…
Faraam- Thank you for the information sir...
Strange- no need to thank young man…
Faraam- 'A lot of losses already, this Horde is really no joke '
A few hundred meters from the site a man who was in a tower looked at Faraam and then disappeared….
In An Unknown Location
The same figure appeared in a small room where several other hooded figures met, what stood out most in them was a small tattoo of a black hand that everyone had on their hands.
???- And then you found him?
???- Yes he is in Kian …
???- And to think that two targets would be in the same place…
???- Sir, you really think this is a good idea … is that I felt a huge discomfort while looking at that man …
???- No one takes a target from the Dark Hand … that traitor died at the hands of that damned adventurer … he stole our precious prey…
???- And the child Alan?
Alan- Elder the child was with that man too
Elder- Good two targets in the same location….
With a psychotic smile the old man rose from his chair and began to order everyone in the room.
Elder- Prepare yourselves…. We will act soon….
