《Escalodia - The Dark Age》Who am I ? (Part II)

A fact about who he really is. There is a sentence that says "How is that boy, is he okay Mr. Alfus McAlloy ?" then Cyril continued reading and found a name other than his father in the note. "Greetings, Augusta Cloudiastra" then various questions appeared in Cyril's head and Cyril immediately kept the note and put it in his room. Then Cyril immediately continued reading all of his father's books. The days passed and Cyril began to understand everything that was happening in his life. While waiting for his father to return, Cyril began to practice fighting starting from using his bare hands to even using swords, spears, axes and so on. Practice concentration and start meditating at the waterfall near his tree house. Cyril did all that for 2 years.
One day Cyril began to worry because his father had not returned and he began to prepare mentally to find his father out of the forest and go to the Kingdom of Villmort. But when he was preparing supplies to go there, 3 knights on horseback came and came to Cyril's house and knocked on the door of his house. "Is there anyone inside ?" asked one of the knights. Then quickly Cyril opened the door of his house. "Is there anything I can help ?" Cyril replied from inside his house. "We are envoys from the northern part of the Kingdom of Villmort to convey an important message." answered one of the knights.
Then Cyril immediately opened the door of his house and said to the knight, "What message do you want to convey sir ?". "That Mr. Alfus McAloy has died in carrying out an important and very secret mission. We can only find the horse and the items that were left on the horse but we still can't find the body." Said the knight while lowering his head as a sign of respect for his father. Then he handed over to Cyril all the items and also the horse. Cyril was so stunned that day, he never thought that he would have to lose the only person he really cared for and the only person who loved him very much. Crying and leaning against Cyril for a few days in his room and felt all this was just a dream.
One night when Cyril fell asleep, Cyril dreamed, he felt the exact same atmosphere as the previous dream and came the black-robed old grandfather approached Cyril and said, "Don't be afraid, all of this must happen, my son. Because you are destined to carry such a great burden, you must feel the hardest in your life so that you can see the greatest thing that you can possibly achieve. As long as you don't take the wrong step and don't drift away in sadness, you will see the light shining again, but if the darkness reaches and overcomes you then you will not be able to see the light again forever. The choice is yours, Son of Adam."

Then Cyril was surprised and began to think what the purpose of this dream. "Actually, what does that old man mean ? Why does he always come into my dreams and say things that are very difficult for me to know ?" Cyril asked in his own heart.
The next morning he had all his gear ready and hurried off to go find answers to every question he had been keeping up with. The first objective Cyril will meet is Augusta Cloudiastra. But Cyril is still confused about where to start looking for this person because there is no record of where that person came from and where he is currently. Then Cyril remembered the incident where a loud voice was heard from the northern part of the forest.
And hurriedly Cyril went north and hoped he would get an answer where he could find a man named Augusta Cloudiastra. On the way, Cyril saw a group of wolves who were hunting from a distance. He hurriedly looked for a place to hide but he could not find it. Very quickly the wolves smelled Cyril's presence and they ran towards him to pounce on him.
With quick reflexes, Cyril immediately took out the sword he had brought from his house to fight the wolves. Cyril stood up with great fear but he promised himself to find answers to all the questions that were on his head.
Cyril started practicing everything he had learned while he was reading his father's books. There was a very fierce battle between Cyril and the wolves, after almost defeating all the wolves there was one wolf that could injure Cyril's left eye. With great anger Cyril swung his sword and slashed the wolf's head.
After the fight is over then shout out loud while enduring excruciating pain and holding the injured part of his left eye. Cyril then looked for the nearest water source, then he found a river to wash the blood in his eyes and immediately looked for herbs to find his wound based on the medical science he learned from his father.
Then after concocting these herbs into medicine that he used to heal his wounds, Cyril immediately rushed back to the place where he killed the wolves from skinning the wolf that had injured him so he could make an eye patch to protect his left eye. Then after he had treated his left eye, Cyril decided to spend the night by the river and eat the supplies he brought. After he finished eating, immediately Cyril took a break to recover his health so that he could continue his journey back the next day.
When Cyril fell asleep, he dreamed the same as before, then the old man came and held Cyril's left eye. Cyril was surprised and said "What are you doing ? Do you want to kill me ?". "Calm down my son, I will restore your eyesight." Said the old man calmly.The next morning Cyril woke up and said to himself "Is it true what the old man said to me ?" while astonished - Cyril went towards the river and tried to reflect on the river water.

When Cyril began to open the eye patch and clean the herbal medicine that was in his left eye and then tried to open his eyes, Cyril was surprised and said to himself "This is all impossible?!, Is it possible that this eye really returns to its original state?". But Cyril wondered why the wolf's claw scars didn't disappear. Then suddenly Cyril heard a voice in his heart "The scar will always remind you that you are only a human." Cyril still couldn't understand his inner voice. Cyril tried to forget those words and began to hurry up to tidy up his equipment and continue his journey.
Cyril continued his journey and arrived at the border of the forest, it occurred to Cyril's mind to look back and see the forest. But when he looked back he felt a very strange and gripping aura from the forest. He was confused because as long as he lived in the forest, he felt that the forest was a very peaceful forest so he felt very comfortable living there. But Cyril tried to think positive and continued his journey.
Hurried Cyril continued his journey towards the north. Not long after Cyril continued his journey, he saw from a distance there was a small village and immediately Cyril went to the village to rest and at the same time find out where Augusta Cloudiastra was.
Cyril arrived in the village and met many villagers who were very friendly to him. Then Cyril said in his heart in surprise, "Why is life outside the forest not like what you told me all this time, what have you been hiding from me all this time ?". Suspicion began to arise in Cyril's heart.
Then Cyril looked for lodging in the village to rest as well as looking for information about this village. Cyril arrived at the inn in the village and booked a room to the innkeeper and asked - Ask about this village. "Sir, may I reserve a room to rest tonight ?" Asked Cyril to the innkeeper. Then the innkeeper replied "Alright sir. May I know what your name is so I can write it in my guest book? It costs 13 gold pieces per night". Then Cyril took out 13 gold pieces from his pocket and said "My name is Cyril de Arc Mirage, sir.". "This is the key, Mr. Cyril, your room is on the second floor and its in the corner." answered the innkeeper with a smile.
Then Cyril go to the second floor and head to his room. After he entered his room, he should immediately rest so that tomorrow he can find information about Augusta.
The next morning Cyril excitedly left the inn and started walking around the village, he tried to imitate the villagers by greeting them when they met each other and while Cyril asked them if any of them knew or had heard of. the name Augusta Cloudiastra.
From morning until late afternoon Cyril walked around but still had no answer about what he was looking for. When he decided to leave the village, a woman came and approached him and said to Cyril "What is your business with commander Augusta that you look for him ?". Cyril replied "I want to ask him something important. This is related to my past and who am I really ?".
Then the woman took Cyril into the house and began to ask Cyril more deeply "Sir, may I know where you come from?" then Cyril replied "I come from the forest in the south". Instantly the mother was surprised and said to Cyril "Don't tell me you came from the forbidden forest ?!". Cyril was also surprised and surprised then said "Forbidden forest ?! How can you say that the forest is forbidden? During my stay in it, I never felt threatened at all, even I felt calm while I was living there."
Cyril was increasingly curious about what had really happened to him all this time. Then the woman immediately said to Cyril with curiosity "Sir, may I know who you were left with ?". Then Cyril said to the mother "I live with my father who is a magician, but he is very kind to me and very much loved me even taught me many things during this time."
The woman began feel sad then asked Cyril "Sir, can I say the things I know about the real you ?, before that introducing me, i am the wife of Commander Augusta Cloudiastra". Then Cyril replied very happily "Fine mom please because I really want to know the truth".
Then the commander's wife Augusta started telling Cyril about who she really was and what had happened to the outside world so far. Cyril began to take very seriously the words of Commander Augusta Cloudiastra's wife.
"Who am I ? (Part III)".

The American Dream: An Alternate, Time-Travel Timeline
Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from the year 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill is set to begin. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation uphold its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning. Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improves from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you have some interest in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off in the beginning, I promise that the story improves quickly.
