Chapter 1: Harsh Beginnings
Slayne's was only 9 when it happened. The war that plagued his homeland. The bandits from beyond the hills known as the X-Death came to his village and slaughtered many in the presence.
"GO! Take Slayne to safety. I'll hold them off!" Giz said slicing the bandit's stomach open.
"I have already sent him to Arbie. He's going to be in good hands, dear. Now, shall we?" Rose told him as she took out her iron sword motioned towards the incoming bandits
Giz sighed. "Damn it, woman. Let's just hope for the best for our son." Giz said closing his eyes while holding the bridge of his nose. "Let's go, our village needs us." And with that, they left to the village square.
Arbie POV
"Come now, child. We don't have much time." Arbie said to Slayne who just nodded and followed.
"What's gonna happen to mummy and daddy, uncle Arbie?" Slayne asked worried about his parents.
"Well.. Uh.. Um.. T-they're gonna be fine." Arbie stuttered a little at the young boy's question.
"Can we see them after this is over?" He asked his uncle who just stood there unable to find the words to tell the boy.
"Uncle Arbie? Hellooo? Can we?" Slayne asked his uncle again this time waving at him.
"Slayne? Umm.. I don't think your mother and father are.." Arbie gulped. "Coming back." He said with a lump in his throat.
"What do you mean they aren't 'Coming back'?" He asked with tears in his eyes.
His uncle held him close and said "You'll understand when you're old enough." and with that they got out of town riding a pig he tamed.
Once they got out of town, they continued travelling by day and camping when it gets dark. Arbie taught Slayne a thing or two about surviving in the wilderness. Slayne was happier now that they got out of the village.
'Thank Notch, he's still young. Probably forgot about it already.' Arbie thought.
"Hey uncle Arbie, can you teach me how to hunt like you do?" Slayne asked his uncle who was deep in thought.
"Huh? Oh. Sure, when you're strong enough. But I'll just teach you the basics first. Ok, Slayne?" Arbie snapped out of his thoughts focusing on the current moment.
"This gonna be a looooong journey" he whispered to himself.
