《Escalodia - The Dark Age》Who am I ? (Part I)
Advertisement
Many years have passed since the sage started taking care of Cyril with all her heart. And Cyril grew up to be a strong, obedient and hardworking child, but one day when Cyril was 12 years old, he was collecting berries around the forbidden forest. He saw a fawn who was caught in an animal trap and without thinking he immediately helped the deer and gave him some of the berries he had collected earlier.
When the fawn was successfully released from the animal's trap, the fawn immediately went running fast into the forest and Cyril said "Now you are free, friend, run as far as possible and don't come back." Said Cyril with a happy smile. But suddenly the mother of the deer came and approached the young deer. Then crossed Cyril's mind "What do I feel? Why do I feel so alone even though my father is waiting for me at home right now ? Where has my mother been ?" he said, feeling sad and confused.
After that incident Cyril returned to collect berries and returned home. When he got home he immediately knocked on the door and asked his father "Daddy, can I ask you something ?", Then his father replied with a smile "Please Cyril, my good son.", Then Cyril asked "Dad, where is my mother and what is her name ?" . Immediately his father was immediately surprised and surprised then said to himself "Is it about time he knew who he really was ?". But the sage immediately brushed off that thought and immediately tried to change the conversation because the sage was still not ready if she had to lose or be abandoned by Cyril. "Cyril, don't you have to start cleaning the firewood and light it, because I think it's getting cold today ?" said the sage to Cyril, rubbing his son's head.

Then Cyril replied with a smile "Okay daddy, I'll do it right away." Then Cyril went to the back of his house to do what his father told him to do.
After Cyril finished doing the task from his father, he immediately returned to the living room and met his father who was sitting facing the fireplace reading a book and then said to his father "I've finished doing the task you gave dad." Then his father invited Cyril to have dinner "Alright Cyril, now let's have dinner that I have prepared for you my son." Then they had dinner quietly.
It was raining hard outside and the air that night was very cold, then Cyril went straight to his room after he cleaned up. When Cyril was about to climb the stairs to go to his room then the sage came over and hugged him tightly and said "Cyril, have a good night and have a nice dream and know that I really love and love you." Cyril smiled and said "Fine dad, thank you".
After Cyril entered his room, the sage was still imagining what Cyril had asked before. "Is it the time he knew about who he is and about the prophecy that he must fulfill ?, Can Cyril carry all this burden?". The sage still had this anxiety and pondered all this all night.
The next day Cyril returned to his usual activities, namely collecting berries in the forbidden forest. Then came a loud noise from the north of the forbidden forest. With great curiosity, Cyril immediately ran towards the voice.
But when Cyril had run about 500 meters, the sage suddenly appeared and blocked Cyril then asked him angrily "What are you doing ?, Do you know what is outside this forest ? Didn't I ever forbid you to get out of this forest ?" because out there are many wild and dangerous creatures that can threaten your life ?" Cyril looked down with fear and surprise because his father never forbade Cyril to do anything while he was in this forest, but if Cyril just stepped out of the forest area, his father would be very angry.

Then they both went home and the sage began to advise the child she loved "Cyril my son, why did you run out of this forest area ?" then Cyril replied "Earlier I heard a very loud voice from the outside of this forest, father, so I immediately ran towards the sound came from."
"Cyril my son is too dangerous out there and you are still not mature enough to face all the things that are outside this forest because I can not be with you forever when you go away from this forest, please know Cyril I will do anything to keep you safe under my supervision Cyril." Said the sage while hugging Cyril. Then Cyril went to his room and contemplated every word of his father.
When Cyril fell asleep, he dreamed that an old grandfather came to him wearing all black clothes and black robes too. Then Cyril was afraid and said loudly "Who are you and what do you want ?". Then the old grandfather said to Cyril "My son, you are the heir to a legitimate government not only for your own people but for all nations in this world." But you must pay attention to your own steps because someone is lurking from within and ready to pounce on you, remember it is not only charisma that makes you a leader, without knowledge your paths are dark, solitude can make you fall, cunning will make your heart dark and strength can make you become a real devil. When all you have put together then you will see the light of hope that this war can end. Go, son of Adam, do all your destiny before you regret it and remember that the monster will always be in you. Find out who you really are."
Then Cyril woke up with extreme fear. Not only fear, but there was great curiosity because he wanted to know what the old man meant in his dream. But Cyril promised himself to find out all that alone and keep all this from his father. Then after he calmed himself down, he went back to sleep.
The next day Cyril acted as usual in front of his father and did activities as usual. But Cyril asked his father's permission to read his father's books in hopes of finding the answer to his dream and knowing who he really is and who his mother is. Day after day passed and Cyril did the same thing almost every day by not forgetting to read his father's books. Time flies so fast and it doesn't feel like it's been 5 years after Cyril's dream.
And one day the father had to go to a meeting held by the Kingdom of Villmort and left Cyril alone for quite a long time. But Cyril continued to read and finally he found a note tucked between his father's books. Then Cyril took the note and was greatly surprised because the writing in the note was not written by the father but someone else's writing because all Cyril knew so far was only him and his father who lived in this forbidden forest. Then Cyril read it slowly and he found a very surprising fact in the note.
