Eid's POV
Year 277 A.G.W.
" Hey... uncle Lezorth that's not fair using nature magic like that "
" In the battlefield you must use every ability you have or else you'll die "
" really... but it's unfair and this is not a battlefield uncle... "
"ohohohoh... you must always adapt you don't know what will happen in the future"
After that Uncle putted me down from the roots that hanging me upside down.
"Uncle's really strong and I..."
"you know Eid you dont need to compare your self to me, I am one of the strongest guardian after all"
Thats right uncle was strong very strong even if he's old he's still strong. I witnessed this one day when a group of black panther attacked the house, he one sidedly slaughtered them. That's why I looked up to him he's strong and cool.
" and Eid at the age of 10 you have a big mana pool and you can even be ranked as sword adept, you might become a great magic knight someday"
"but master I dont think I'm that good and my sword style I think its quite sloppy and the feeling I get is different"
"ohohoho... so you can even discern whether your good or not that's good, you know when you were just a baby I thought this child would grow arrogant and high of himself but its the opposite, well there are still many weapons in this world but swordsmanship is a must because its basic knowledge for a knight to know how to use a sword"
"yes uncle!"
After that I cleaned myself in the bathroom.
'I will become a Knight just like you Uncle and protect mother' that was my aim. I will become a great knight and protect everything thats important to me and someday to meet my true mother. My mother Lillian told me this 2 years ago, I was shocked but still I kinda feel its okay, I have Mother Lillian and Uncle Lezorth so I was okay."its okay mother whether or not you are my true mother it is a fact that you loved me so thats enough for me and I have uncle Lezorth too..." that's what I told her.
One's I reached the aged of 12 I would go to Guardian academy in Sitri and train as a knight, that's what Uncle told me. I asked him if it would be okay and he said "it's okay guardians dont discriminate whether your from a different race or not". Uncle was a half guardian half werebeast, I asked him why doesn't he looked like a were beast, he told me that his guardian blood was stronger so he didn't grew furs or animal tail and ear, But he have a nose that can even smell mana and eyes that can see from a far like eagles eye.

I asked uncle what my mana smell like and he told me its scentless but when I asked about my mother he said " its like a flower garden".
after I finished taking a bath, I ate dinner with mom and uncle.
"How's your training son?"
"its hard but fulfilling, I will become a knight and protect you mom"
"okay son but don't go pushing your self to hard and always remember to meditate, a strong body needs a strong mind"
"yes mom!"
Sometimes Mom would teach me magic but only basic magic I dont know why but I didn't questioned any further. I learned fireball,waterball,zap,earthwall,windblade. The spell that I frequently used would be windblade It's easy convenient and do not do much destruction unlike fireball, I might end up burning the forest.
After dinner and it was already night time. I head straight to my room to meditate but when I looked at the window of my room I saw lights coming from the forest. I was curioused on what that was so I headed there.
"Eid where are you going..?"
my mother asked me.
"I forgot something on the training grounds, just gonna go and get it"
"okay but be careful it's already dark outside"
"yes mom"
after that I hurriedly go deep inside the forest.
Lillian's POV
"kids do grow fast" I sighed as I see him getting out of the house. Its been ten years and were living here preacefully, Lezorth took care of us and gave us shelter, I'm so grateful to him, he even started teaching my son swordsmanship.
Sometimes I would teach my son basic magic and only basic magic for its the only magic I know except spatial magic and I was embarrassed to tell my son that I only know basic magic.
Eid's POV
I reached the inner most part of the forest and I'm almost near where the light's were coming from and when I reached it.
" Woahhhhh... Beautiful..."
I saw a very beautiful girl dancing under the moonlight surrounded by flying butterflies or maybe fairies. I hid on a bush nearby and watched the girl dance. She was dancing on the lake and its almost like she was absorbing the moonlight, It was a beautiful sight its almost like I could n't breadth and my hearth was pounding. She has Silver gray hair paired with blue crystal like eyes and she was wearing a blue dress

I continued watching her till she was finished and left.
The next day
"Uncle are there people living inside the forest?"
"Oh... why'd you ask Eid?"
"Well last night I saw a beautiful girl dancing on the lake"
"wha.!.. eh ( coughing )"
uncle choked on the water he was drinking.
"ehem... hmm are you sure you saw a girl?"
"yes"
"does the girl have something following her like butterflies?"
"yes"
"I see, that girl must be the princess of the Alfheim"
"what's Alfheim? uncle"
"Alfheim is a country were fairies live it is beside the tree of wisdom in the north of Elven kingdom"
"wait uncle... what are fairies?"
its been ten years that I'm here and its the first time I hear uncle talk about this.
"Fairies are a race who resides near the tree of wisdom. they are pacifists like us guardians and they hate war, their size varies from 6-10 inches. Some of them can changed their size to the size of humans especially the royal family, they have colorful wings like butterflies and insects"
"I see but the girl I saw doesnt have a wing, wait! those flying around her were fairies"
"That girl is special shes a descendant of Artemis Goddess of the Hunt, Forests and Hills, the Moon, Archery"
"WHAT!!! wait how did you even know that uncle?"
"Artemis was one of the victims of Asmodeus back in the Great War"
Wow so this story goes way back to the Great War.
"Wait...! Uncle how old are you!?"
"ohohoho... hmmm lets see... 425 I think"
" ehhh... your that old maybe I should start calling you gramps now"
"ohohoho... a guardians lifespan reaches to 500 years"
come to think if it Uncles appearance didn't change. it looks like the face I saw when I'm 3 years old.
"Artemis is the goddess that the fairies worship they give offerings like dancing or hunted animal so that the goddess would bestow blessings upon them"
"I see so thats why she was dancing"
"Your pretty lucky to see her you know. when she visits Sitri, she would go to the lake of the forest and give offerings to the goddess"
"you know her Uncle?"
"Ofcourse she's my great granddaughter afterall"
"Ehhh...!"
I was surprised
"so your a descendant of artemis to Uncle?"
"No I'm not. my wife is but she already died years ago"
"I'm sorry uncle"
"ohohoho... you dont need to Eid, many years after my wife's death you both came so its okay"
back when I was 5 my Uncle told me that he was one of the great knight of Sitri. He protected the forest of the fairies there she met her wife named Artemisia. He fall in love with her at first sight and started courting her he didn't know that she was a descendant of artemis. He learned it when he saw the mark of the moon on her back and also that she was a princess, she told him about it and my uncle didn't bother but one day she was taken by a soldier coming from alfheim. thats what happend and after that he learned that she died giving birth after 10 months after she was taken. Looks like she was already pregnant with uncles baby back then and so on the bloodline still continued.
"so uncle you knew her but she dont knew you Right?"
"Yes back when I was still in Sitri before I retired I was designated as her guard she was just 5 years old back then. one time I spotted the mark of the moon so I was sure of it she is my Great grand daughter and also her personality resembles my wife elegent yet mischievous, she would always escape and go to the forest"
" well if you say ,so uncle you said you retired and started living here 12 years ago, then after 2 years you met us. that makes her 17 already"
"ohohoho... so you have your sights set on her huh..."
"no.. nonono way I was just curioused I just wonder whether shes the same age as me thats all!!!"
"Layla would be jelous you know"
Layla was one of my friend in Sitri. when we buy supplies on the city. I met her on the playground and we started playing with the other kids. then so on sometimes she would visit here with her parents delivering goods and stuffs thats when I learned that she was the daughter of one of my uncles acquaintances.
"we're not in that sort of relationship you know, its true she would always hug me like a stuff toy but its sisterly love" I refuted
this is one of the reason how I developed my personality now.
