The letter sat on the table untouched. Paper was laced. Inked close. Very archaic. Beautiful. He was unsure if he was proud or scared. The Triforce was something to be wanted right? Power or courage? He wasn't picky on that one. Either would be fine but this would dictate his life. He wouldn't be able to carry on with his apprenticeship. He would be near Godlike. Any girl would be his for the choosing. Wither he would be clad in green or red, no one will not know who he is. It kinda took his breath away.
His mother looked proud at first. One look over the table and she know what it was. A letter from the sages. A letter to say her child would be a barrier of the Triforce. A pat on the back from his dad. And the letter wasn't even open yet. His mother sat opposite him. He could see her plain hands pull open the beautiful paper to find a hand written letter.
"Dear Mr and Mrs Acre,
I am pleased to tell you that your son has been targeted as the barrier of the Triforce of Wisd..."
She stopped. That must be wrong, he thought. Wisdom has only been barred by a women. A princess who will grow into a queen and will rule. No man has ever barred the Triforce of wisdom.
"Keep reading! Maybe… Maybe it will say something else."
She straightened up again. Tried to find her place but failed and just reread.
"Dear Mr and Mrs Acre,
I am pleased to tell you that your son has been targeted as the barrier of the Triforce of Wisdom. He will be supported by me and our continent. I cannot tell you who are the other barriers but they do not come from the same continent as us. Melia, the sage of Asia, has agreed to host the barriers and to train them. Your family will be funded by the state and you will be accepted as members of the royal family. You will stay within the rulers castle while your Son trains to become our leader.
I will come to collect you on Tuesday 17th March.
May the Goddess look over you,
Elizabeth,
Sage of Europe."
His mother, although shocked, still looked proud. His father however looked unpleased, to say the least.
