《A Life's Journey》Chapter 2.1 - A Hero in Making
Advertisement
When the pair looked at older boy, their eyes gleamed from a moment, but Asters eyes soon returned to the normal, at same time, he became curious, I've felt something inside my head.
The boy was a gallant blonde with blue eyes, his smile white looked like he could charm anybody, his face while still with some baby fat, already showed signs of having a adult look. Pulling his hands, could be see a cute little girl that seemed about at his age, she was, fruitlessly, trying to hurry him to come along, "Hurry up! If we go too slow someone may get here before us!" Said the little girl.
Giving no mind to the little girl, the boy said while looking at Aster and Johan, " Hannah, look, I think they loose themselves from the other groups, they may even be newcomers. What if they didn't found no one. We should talk with them." The girl, Hannah, only looked at Johan with hers blue eyes once, then she simply ignored him. But when her eyes landed on Aster, her eyes turned in hostile ones, as if she had saw a demon.
"Why do you want to take that girl with us? Don't you already have me?" Asked the little girl, with a flick of her blue hair that matched with her eyes, fully against the idea of having Aster with them.
Why everyone thinks that I'm a girl? Do I really look that much like a girl? Though Aster, confused, clearly everyone thinks that he is a girl, but why? The question haunted the Aster's head for long, but he still didn't find anything that may answer that cursed question.
But something happened that made Aster disbelieve his ears, the golden haired boy actually said, "Huh? What do you mean ? There are no girls here other than you." He didn't confuse my gender?He must be a good guy. That was what passed through Aster's mind, but then he felt again something inside his head, this time, Aster started to be even more curious about why the boy was trying to affect his mind.
Of course, someone who was already a adult will feel suspicious, if not downright aggressive, if they discovered that someone is affecting their mind, but Aster still don't know that having his mind affected is something bad, he still is only a three years old after all.
But then as any curious child would do, he asked what was in his mind, "Hey, why are you trying to mess with my mind?" The boy looked troubled by the question, " Sorry if it bothered you, is just that I have a ability that affects the minds of the people in my surroundings, but I can't control it yet." But that answers was not enough to satisfy the curious little child.
"But how did you got the ability?" It was like every answer only made the boy even more mysterious in Aster's mind. Now, the boy was the most interesting thing that Aster ever saw in his life.

This time, erasing the troubled face that was obstructing his beautiful visages, blonde boy answered the question with every bit of pride inside his body, "I am a hero, the hero of might, and this ability is one of the hero abilities that came together with being a hero." And he didn't tried to conceal anything, he was a good child after all.
And as a child who have loving parents and a good uprising, he think that lying is something that only bad children will do. But he is a hero, and heroes cannot be bad children, he need to be a good child if he want be a good hero.
When Aster heard the boy, he tried to remember the things from the books that his father gave. Heroes, a special group of people, they are all blessed by the plane at birth, a hero is someone who is born with a growth rate ridiculously high, but limited to only one aspect.
The majority of the people before reaching the level of a Adept had a big numbers of restrictions such as not being able to reach the higher magical elements like space or death, needing a high rank or a gift related to the subject to be able to do some like that. In truth, heroes have unlimited potential, if they can use it was for each one of then to discover.
The only real purpose that such extraordinary existences have during their lives, is to protect the plane from foreign entities, making sure that it wasn't threatened, being its effective guardians, even if there are other entities that have potential to grow even above the level of a hero.
Such a existence is the boy in front of him, but what was conflicting with his knowledge, was that only six heroes can be alive at some point in the time. When he thought about it, Aster tried to remember who are the heroes alive at moment, which are, The Supreme Arch Wizard, a human, The Sage of the Forest, a elf ,The Mountain King, a dwarf, The Immortal Hydra, a monster, The Wandering Songstress, a human and The Dragon King of Annihilation, a dragon.
The Dragon King of Annihilation is the actual hero of might, if the boy before him was truly a hero, one of these Legends need to be dead, but if ever one of them died, the world would already be enveloped in a giant uproar. And even more if it was the Dragon King, being the oldest of all heroes, he was a being that lived through the times that The Four Knights of the End roamed through the world, but he was still far from the end of his natural lifespan, of four thousand years.
This is not something to gloss over, even him, who still a child knows how much of a danger is if the Dragon King got killed, he was already decided to tell his parents about this when he returns to home.
"Wow, a hero !So cool, look Aster! He is a hero! A hero you know, he must be really strong, like, killing anyone and anything with only a single punch. Like the Supreme Arch Wizard." Of course, even a three years old child knows the heroes that represents the human race.

"That's right, Ryuu can kill anyone and anything with a single punch, he is even stronger than adults!" Exclaimed the girl,looking pleased, as if the one being praised was her.
The young hero, Ryuu, looked troubled at Johan and Hannah, all hyped ups and with glowing eyes. With intention of clearing the misunderstanding made by Hannah, Ryuu said," Come on, I'm not that strong. I only can beat at most, a blue wolf." But that only made it worse, Johan, being able to get out of the house only today, never saw a kid beat one brown wolf, a tier 1 monster. A blue wolf is a tier 2 monster having potential to reach the peak of the Adept rank, this was something never seemed before by the little boy.
"A blue wolf!So cool! And was the wolf very big?" Asked Johan wanting all the details of the fight, but the silent and still unnamed boy interrupted, "Let's go, we have a place to go!" Taking the lead towards their destination, the boy returned to be silent as they begun to follow after him. Hannah, being used to his antics, started to talk about all of Ryuu's heroics tales to Johan, and Ryuu, feeling sorry about the attitude of the boy toward their new friends, said, "Sorry about Luke, he was always been the more silent type."
Aster nodded his head and said, "Its okay, but you really has no way to stop that hero skill of yours? Its really itchy to have someone else inside my mind." Ryuu, with a apologetic face said, "Sorry, I still don't know how to control this power." At end of his words, the itch inside his mind dulled, but Aster still can felt it inside him.
But at the moment that he heard these words, he felt the mind gift inside of him working. The power of the gift would normally protect him from the mental attacks, but it was now helping him to train his mental resilience by allowing only some weakened attacks to reach him.
"Oh never mind I can feel my mental resilience growing on by talking with you. I think that at this point you releasing more of the power would even be beneficial to me." Said Aster in a tentative of consoling the older boy.
And his efforts are not frustrated, when he heard the younger boy words, Ryuu made a happy face, then a confused one and asked, "But how can you feel my power?You are the first to ever feel it."
With a cute, trying to look proud, smile on his face, one that made Ryuu even doubt his hero powers, and said, "You are not the only incredible one! I am have a inborn mind gift, a complete one, and I know that someday you won't be the only one who can kill blue wolves."
"Wow, a full gift aren't you a incredible boy, look like I will have to work harder." Said Ryuu in response to the claim of the younger boy, he was truly amazed by the surprise.
"But where are we going now?" Asked Aster only now, that he understood. He too, was following the silent boy to a unknown destination.
"Well, somedays ago, someone heard a few suspicious noises coming from a abandoned house near the outskirts of the village, so we're going to investigate it, to see if it was really a ghost." Answered Ryuu, half sure of his response, he don't trust that the place was going to house a ghost.
"But what will you do if there really have a ghost inside the house? Ghosts can only be hurt by magic, and my daddy is only one mage on the village." Strangely, Aster feels no fear toward the ghost, for some reason, knowing that his father can kill the ghost made him completely secure.
Ryuu was going to answer the question when Hannah interrupted, "Huh, you're teacher's son?" Looking at Aster as if searching for some similarities between the boy before her and the man who taught her all knowledge that she has about magic.
"Its really true! His face is almost the same as teacher's and his hair is the same one too!" Exclaimed the surprised little girl, now knowing that Aster and Dayno are father and son, she felt strange inside, knowing that the child she thought to be a girl was so similar to her teacher.
"That's why you looked so familiar! "Said Ryuu, continuing "Well, she did say that she have a little son, but I didn't expected this person be you. "As he scratched his cheek, he too was surprised by the new revelation, who would have thought about such coincidence? Thought the boy.
"So my daddy teaching you magic?"Asked Aster, to make sure of what was his father really teaching these children, it could be a variety of things going about how much Dayno really knew.
"Of course! And I am his best student, the only one who already get my wind magic to the early Adept rank!" Proudly declared Hannah, omitting that she was the only one who Dayno taught magic, "But you won't be the best for long! My daddy said that when I end my studies about varied knowledge he'll teach me magic. Then at that time I'll be the very best. " Returned Aster with a defiant expression on his face, which made Hannah scream, "You won't be the best! Not when I'm here!" When Hannah was starting to jump on Aster, and Ryuu was getting ready to stop her. All while Johan watched the exchange from the sides, a cold voice said, " Stop bickering, we are here."
They are at gates of the house.
