Advertisement
The sun have already rise in the horizon, bathing the green prairies with its light, in the prairies can be see group of wild bulls grazing on the grass, a long with the bulls, can be seen a pair of women, with two children in their arms. "I am telling you, my kid is the smartest in this village, if you tell him something, he never forgets, he must be a genius " Bragging her son's capacity, the woman talked loudly. "Rayssa, your child only have two years, he can't be so smart, the best one is my child, he already can pick his father axe." The second woman is not to be underestimated, she too, can brag like no other. "But I am talking the truth, he really..." In the middle of talking the woman heard a sound coming from the grass, who goes till the upper middle of her calf, but to the knees of the other woman. Alarmed, she search for the origin of the sound, she cannot lose a bull, that will cost more than she can afford, still with the little boy in her arms, she said, "Aster, my little love, mommy will throw you really high, alright?" The little Aster, now with 2 years, have 45cm of height and have a head of silver hair, like his father, and black eyes, like his mother, have a round face and can be easily perceived as a girl, for he is a very cute child. The little Aster laughed at idea of being thrown up and said in a very lively tone, "Yes mommy, high, high. " The woman, Rayssa, with a very fierce grin bellowed, "Of you go!" At same time that she threw the child to the sky, she leaped into the direction of the bull. Near the bull, she see a pack of brown wolves, she approach the nearest one and picked up the wolf by the neck throw it at other two wolves, killing the first one and paralyzing two other, with more than half of the pack subjected to such violence, the leader run away. "No you won't" Roared the frustrated redhead, again she leaped in direction of the leader, only to see the wolf being trampled by one bull. "Curses!Why can't I have a good fight in this place!" The frustrated redhead roared again. And remembering of Aster, still in the air, she looks back, and jumps in the direction of hers son, to catch him midair. The Aster, from the beginning of the throw, started to spin and giggle, but the moment that he reached the highest point he calmed down, the world seemed to stop, from here he can see the his village, a nearby forest, whose in the very middle have a tree triple the size of the normal ones, and the mountains after the forest. Here in the highest point, he can see the sun, in all its glory, hear the wind rushing through his hair and can touch the clouds, here he feels free. As he receives the notification, the time continues to run, he starts falling and he starts to giggle again, as if the moment never happened. In the middle of the fall he can feel a warm feeling enveloping him, as he open his eyes he can see his mother, who said, "You liked little one?" With a big grin on her face. To which he giggled and answered, "Again, Again" That, in turn, made Rayssa laugh, "Sorry, but I can't, your father will scold me again if he knows." As they land on the grass,the woman who remained on the ground asked, "Why do you still go after the wolves?You know that they can be easily trampled by the bulls alone. " "I won't take the risk, they may be catch off guard, I won't lose my meat to a messy brown wolf." Said the Rayssa, disdain can easily be heard on her voice, looking to the sky, "I think it's already time to return" For hers belly said so. "Well, we can go back early today, tomorrow your child completes 3 years, right?"Asked the woman, still chatting, while going take the herd back. In the middle of such small talk, they made their way to the village, when they reached at their destination, they separated and get going their own ways, as they reached their home, the duo of mother and son, Rayssa then said, "But you can't tell your father about me throwing you up, okay?" To which the child simple nodded. But, the moment that Aster nodded, a voice is heard at her back, "So that is, you still throwing him around,and you still made him hide it from me, good, good at least you're watching him while he is in the sky, right?" The moment the mother and son duo heard the voice, they stopped, a drop of sweat can be see on the redhead forehead, as she turned around, she see the only mage on the village, her husband, who is very protective of their child and doesn't appreciate him being thrown around, even more when she doesn't watch as the boy flies, that's why, she lied, "But of course dear, do you think I'll leave him alone flying, without being here to watch for him?Your words hurt my heart." But she forgot, she is a bad liar, as she talked, the beads of sweat multiplied, her eyes flickered around, and her voice changed tone, various times. But luckily, she have a forgiving husband, who simply glared coldly at her for a few seconds, then sighed, "You should stop doing that, you know that I don't like it and someday you may not catch him. " "Fine, let's go home my belly is begging for food. "Said the woman, following her husband to the home. "The child will make three years tomorrow..." Spoke the mage, with a solemn look on his face, and with a bright smile she answered."Yes, time to start the studies..." The mage continued, "Tomorrow, he shall start reading book about Common language, when he gasps the basic, we shall begin history, geography, survival knowledge, biology, and mathematics. At end of these he may be ready to start magic and combat, but that will be a slow process, I think from two years, if he is fast, to five if he is slow." Concluded the mage. As if remembering something the mage asked, "Something new happened today Aster?" Hearing the question, Aster put a finger on his cheek, as if thinking abilities it, and answered, " Nothing new daddy, only played with Mommy." The father laughed at his child cute face as he said, "Don't worry, from tomorrow onwards, your father will begin teaching you how to read, write and a infinity of other things." The more talked the mage, bigger became the smile on the kid 's face. Giggling, Aster soon said, "Yes, daddy is the best!" To which his mother said, with a teasing grin on her face, " Eeh, so you think your father is better than me?Then I won't throw you anymore." The child, with proud look on his face, tried to explain himself. "But mommy too, said that papa is the best!" The woman surprised, trying to remember when she said it, asked "When did I say such a thing?" I didn't have drink for a long time, there no way he found me drunk. Though her. "When mama was sleeping. You drooled in my face and wake me up, I didn't go back to sleep for a long while after that!" Said the child, with a angry face that only made him look cuter. The mage was confused so asked, " But didn't you stopped sleeping with us for a year already ?" He knew that his child have a good memory, but he doesn't believe that he can remember something a year ago. "Yes" Returned the child, as if the most normal thing in the world, "And you still remember?" Insisted the mage, "Of course, I remember everything" Retorted the child, with a cute smile on his face. The mage still not believing, smiled and said, "Wow, aren't you a incredible boy?This way, you'll learn everything really fast and will be able to learn magic ,aren't you happy?" To which the boy widened his eyes and said. "Magic?Really? Like daddy's ?" The boy was really happy about the prospect of learning magic for, he already have seen Dayno using magic to heal the other, on the days that he followed his father at work. "But you won't be learning only magic with your father, you'll learn how to use at least three weapons from your mother too." Interjected the silent woman. "Oh, and aura, you will need to learn aura too, but don't worry your mother is a good teacher " Ending her words with a laughter that didn't pass any confidence, the woman then continued "Wait, three years is the age to get out of home too, right?" With a pensive look the mage answered, "Yeah, it's on the three years, tomorrow will be a big day for you Aster." As they got silent, soon they reached the house.
