Early that morning, the Gold Knight Sir Mycen rose from his bed. His eyes were heavy, and did not sleep well from that previous night. He was up late that night telling his "grandkids" stories of his past battles. Of course, what he told them was a little stretched from the truth so they would be fascinated. Inspired to fight like him, that was what he wanted.
Mycen was still in his long johns, getting dressed in his clothes. It was just an ordinary day in Ram Village, with dawn just arriving. He expected to do nothing aside from his daily obligations and jobs. The retired soldier sticked to his daily routine, going down the stairs of his barely-two-floored house. In his living room, he saw little Alm and Celica sleeping by the dark fireplace. The other kids, Tobin, Gray, Faye, and Kliff all went home at their supper times respectively. However, both Alm and Celica remained at bay in interest. They would also imagine how they would fight once they were older.
Mycen smiled at the thought. The two future heroes looked cozy, so he just left them be as he tended to the sheep.
Alm was secretly awake. As soon as Mycen closed the door, his eye opened to make sure the coast was clear. The little boy turned to Celica and noticed her condition. So, with the kindness his grandfather asked of, he let Celica sleep. Instead of waking her up, he went to sneak up on his guardian. Alm followed behind Mycen in the dim sunlight. He slowly, and almost silently, opened the door. Because of his size, it was just a little difficult to open it completely. He squeezed through the small opening he created.
There was his Grandpapa, just opening the fence to the herd of sheep. Alm looked at the fence door and did not know how it worked. Mycen never allowed for him to take care of the sheep alongside with him. He claimed that he was too young. With that in mind, Alm ran through the fence just in time.
"Good morning, my sheep," Mycen whispered. "It is time to feed you, as always." He looked off to the side to spot a bag of sheep feed. He opened it, and placed it in the corresponding areas. The animals happily went to eat their morning meal.
Alm smiled as he watched Mycen closely. The kid stood behind the adult, and made sure he did not see him.
"Boo!" Alm chirped.
"Aaugh!" Screamed Sir Mycen. The bag fell out of his hands and spilt the last of the food. Younger sheep hurdled over to eat the extras.
"Alm!" Mycen said angrily. "I told you not to enter the sheep's pin!"
"Aw," Alm whined. "I just wanted to play."
"Boy," he sighed. "There is a time to play and a time to work. At the moment, work is calling me."
"I seeā¦" Alm trailed off to look at the house. He was thinking about his friend. "Grandpapa?"
"Yes?"
"May I go wake up Celica?"
"Sure, but be careful not to break anything," He reminded. "Last time you broke a vase."
"Okay!" He ran to the house. He stopped. He then picked the flowers right in front of the doorway. They were white magnolias, and they recently bloomed.
He went into the little hole he left earlier and stepped in. "Celica," he whispered.
Not a word, but her head turned the other way.
"Hey," he continued.
Nothing.
"I got a surprise for you." Alm placed his hand on her head and shook it gently. Her eyes opened.
"Alm?"
"Good morning!" He showed the flowers to Celica.
"Oh, thank you Alm!" The priestess smiled. "That is the fifth flower this week!" She took it and smelled it.
"I'm glad you like it," The green-haired kid smiled in return.
This was some random draft I typed up. I was bored and suddenly came up with the idea. It is nothing special in particular, but if you guys wish for another fluff one-shot such as this, I am willing to create it. You can make requests as well via PM. Here is a few ground rules:
No topics above the K rating
No romance involved (This one-shot does not count. It is realistic to the game.)
No spoiler related content (I have not finished the game yet).
Have a nice day!
