The Fate of The First Hero of Light

I am standing in a line...

I have to take an airship to a land in the west.

We are to finalize an agreement, for the transport of massive amounts of goods.

It will be a great opportunity for the TADUC business, God I hate that name.

I am wearing business attire. The Tulok tribe have many enemies there. I have left my parka at home and also my broadsword. I would have to fight with my fists and ice magics.

A red ball at my feet.

I pick it up where is the owner, a little girl.

"Here you are princess."

"Thank you for helping my daughter."

"It was nothing."

A grey haired man and a woman she looks frail. They are accompanied by young man with black hair. The little girl cant be older than 8 suncycles and the young man not older than 14 suncycles

We are aboard the airship.

They are standing, next to me.

"Where are you travelling to?" the man asks me.

"I am going..."

"And yourselves?" I enquire.

"We are going to a resort."

"That sounds delightful."

"Beg your pardon madam. Are you ill?"

"I do not know the cause but I feel somehow always tired."

"Please If you do not mind. I control magics that senses illnesses. I would be able to detect the cause."

"Would you?"

"Yes, please stand up."

I looks towards my mother, this was from when I kicked her through the shop front.

I manipulate the fluids in her body. I dissolve the blood clots, the blood is flowing normally.

Still there are some spots I cannot heal them completely.

She will recover it will take many days, but her vitality will return.

"Sir please stand here. It must have been a transmitted disease."

He has severe injuries that never healed correctly.

I did not give him these.

It was most probably retribution for the deaths I had caused.

I manipulate the fluids in his body dissolve the blood clots.

Using my ice magic to grip his joints.

I pop them back in place, bind his broken ribs, and suture the wounds that did not heal correctly.

"Do you feel pain?"

"Yes."

"Please be patient. I specialize in magics that heal internally. You had been severely injured, bones had been broken and organs ruptured that had not closed. Are you a warrior?"

He stays quiet, I see he wants to leave.

"Sir, I am terribly sorry I did not mean to pry. I am honour bound to treat a patient completely, I apologize for my selfishness. It will only take a few moments."

I ask him to stretch, his bones popping back in make loud audible noises.

Everyone looks.

He moves his body "I have never felt this good in years. Thank you!"

"Madam you should feel better in a few days. The energies in your body had been in disarray. Are you a mage?"

"Yes, I am. Why would you ask?"

"I have read that If a powerful Mage becomes injured. The bodies internal energies could fight the Mage's magic. If you are injured again, please seek medical assistance rather than healing yourself."

"I understand. Thank you. "

"Can I search the children too?"

"Please, if you would." says my Mother.

The little girl has a twisted ankle. Probably when the ball rolled towards me.

"Princess this will sting but it will take the pain away from your ankle."

"I understand, thank you kind sir."

I bring down the inflammation the swelling goes down.

I move her blood around her body, she is going to start growing again soon.

"The young man, could I look at you as well?"

He sighs loudly.

"If you really need to. Make it quick."

His mother yells at him.

I want to punch him in the face, I like him.

He is taller than me, when I was his age.

I had not noticed but I tower above my parents.

Back to the little snot.

He has a broken knee, I fix it. He starts tearing up. I smile, he sees me, he knows he is suffering because he angered me.

He has stiff shoulders probably worries caused by studies.

I circulate the blood I am finished.

"Studies are hard but find a way to release that stress."

"Whatever!"

My mother yells at him.

I smile.

"Thank you." my mother bows.

My father approaches me and extends his hand "My name is...Can I have yours?"

I lie.

"I am sorry sir. I am on a business trip representing a company. We wish to do business with a certain business. They have an exclusive deal with another company. But they have recently been upset with their business partner. Secretly they contacted our company. We are going to put forth a proposal. But if they do not accept. They will continue doing business with that company. But if they should find out. They were looking for other options. It would damage the relationship beyond repair."

"I see." my father nods.

"Still, don't you have an alias."

I think fast.

"Descarte." my second name, it is a common given name.

"Thank you, Descarte."

We shake hands.

"I take my leave."

"Will you be in the air lounge later? This trip is two days long."

"I have spent some energies on the magics. I will rest first, then if possible I will come."

My mother looks so shocked, she bows her head and that of my brother and sister.

"WE ARE TERRIBLY SORRY!"

Everyone turns around.

I smile, wave and nod.

I am in my room.

It is a large stately room, TADUC is paying for the trip.

As I am the Warchief of the Tulok tribe, they require me to stay in a certain level of luxury.

I hate it, I just want a small bunk.

This bed has too many cushions.

Those annoying ones that are small, women collect them.

I laugh out loud, That was pretty funny!

I am playing with my ice magisc.

I fill the spacious room completely with ice then shatter it into nothingness. I feel the room pitch, the weight must have unbalanced the ship. I have to be careful. I focus and form a cube. I spin it in the air, carve complex patterns on it, change the shape, form different shapes inside the cube. First a pyramid inside it ,then a sphere inside and finally a block. I spin the various shapes inside of themselves in different directions, change the speed, melt them together and finally disappearing into nothingness.

I want to go with my Grandmother, to hunt Ice Dragons, to see how my powers have grown.

My ice is still murky, her blue ice is completely translucent.

I can disintegrate it into nothingness better than her, but that is only because she is old.

I want to be in the mountains.

To see how large a block I can form, Grandmother told she had killed 200 soldiers in an ice wall once.

How large would that have to have been?

I cannot hide in my room forever. I have changed so much, there is no way that they would know it is me.

I see my parents, I greet them. I organize a table we have a meal, I pay for us.

My mother is stressing so much.

Finally I calm them, A business expense.

My sister asks me is that not illegal.

I say yes it is.

My mother almost faints.

I tell her this trip is special.

My employers have given me a blank check. She does not know, what that is.

I tell a terrible joke.

She is laughing so hard her eyes are tearing up, everyone else cringes.

I laugh out loud.

I lie.

I said I had heard it somewhere, thought it so terrible I had to tell it.

Everyone laughs.

I cry inside, I worked hard to create that masterpiece.

We talk many things.

They stay in a different kingdom now. It is probably to escape House Dominitus's retribution. I had massacred the whole House. They would not be forgiven easily I was their son after all. My father works as a government clerk and my mother runs a shop selling magical reagents and equipment. I ask if she has a sample. She fetches in her bag and produces them. They are very plain and of an acceptable quality. You would see them in any intermediary mages tools. I know, the tools that she had constructed in the past was of extremely fine quality. The House would immediately know who made it.

As they talk of their children.

I see their eyes shine.

My mother says how talented my little sister is and how good my brother is in athletics, my Father he speaks of his dreams of his future for them. My sister is smiling broadly and my brother is squirming and getting red faced.

They ask about me.

I lie.

I was an orphan, who had been raised in a mountain village.

I started working when I reached the capital.

"So you don't know Geir the Butcher?" my brother says.

I can see he is filled with rage.

My business dealings with the Mighty Dwarven Traders had made me look as stable on the outside, even when I was panicking on the inside.

I want to hide under the table.

I forgot about that!

I explain I know little of the Capitals history, I mostly focus on business.

"He is the worst piece of shit on this earth!".

Everyone is looking downwards.

I ask about him, I had heard there were some tragedies before I arrived.

He explained how his family had suffered because of him.

The humiliations and the physical assaults against his father I act surprised and horrified.

I ask why they would do something that.

"Its because he is my brother. I will kill the f#cker!"

My mother says she had talked to him about this, he stands up and storms off.

They apologize.

I tell them another terrible joke.

The little girl is laughing again tears flowing down.

The parents cringe, I tell them it was the same person who told me that one.

I am crying inside, that was my best one.

Still the little girl enjoys them so much.

We all look at her laughing sweetly.

The mood has recovered we speak many things.

I feel genuinely relaxed.

I cannot believe it I am enjoying their company

Finish.

Special One of Two.
