Chapter 1

"AURON!!! AURON!!! Wake up!"

"Hmm.. ," Auron Raiker Kinneas rolled on his back. He tried to open his eyes, but the sun blinded him so he closed them again.

"Auron! Come on! It is nearly noon."

"WHAT?" He jumped up in his bed and bumped against the edge of his desk.

"DAMN," he yelled and rubbed his forehead. He felt a little blood coming from a scratch above his eyebrow. Noon? Really? Oh Hyne! Dad is gonna kill me!! He jumped out of the bed and ran into the bathroom. He started to dress. Black jeans, white shirt and his long brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. He looked like his father, only his green eyes were different. As he looked into the mirror he thought a moment before running out of the bathroom. Dana Kinneas stood outside of his room and waited for her brother to come out. She giggled at the sounds he made inside. Her father told her to get him. He wanted to talk to his son before the test started, so he told her to say it would be already noon. But it wasn't. It was 9 am. It was too funny for her and she wanted to see his stupid face when he noticed that it was just a joke.

Auron run out of the door and bumped into his sister who fell to the floor.

"Oh Auron! Can't you see?"

"Hey babe, I am in a hurry! Where is Dad?"

She rubbed her backsite and stood up. "Don't call me that."

"Come on, derky, tell me," he asked her.

That was too much. "I won't tell you anything you big meany!"

"Dana! It is important! PLEASE! Tell me where he is!"

"Here," he heard his father call.

Irvine Kinneas, went to his son with a smile.

"Oh Dad.I am sorry.. Just.. maybe. uhm. did not get enough sleep last night. and. I could swear I turned on my alarm clock.. But maybe I." Auron was so nervous. He could not compose a whole sentence. Irvine burst into laugher and pulled his son to him, giving him a close hug.

"It is okay. it is not noon. Just wanted to scare you bit."

Auron smiled and hugged his father. "That was mean, ya know?!"

"I know. follow me."

"Hey, what about me," Dana asked.

Auron looked at her and said: " Why don't you bother someone else. You are pretty good at it!" She stuck out her tongue at him and went angrily away.



Irvine brought his son to his office.

"Sit down." Auron took a seat next to his father and looked at him.

"What?"

"Well.Auron. Today will be a hard day, ya know. I. jus' wanna tell ya that. I ..wish you all the best! I am sure you will make it." Irvine walked to the large window and looked at the beautiful area stretching all along.

"I know, Dad. you won't be disappointed. I will take care of myself and be strong."

"Auron. stop."

Auron looked at him confused. What was on? His father had not been like that for. 15 years.



**flashback**

"Whewe is my daddy? And what 'bout mommy?"

"Auron, please, calm down. Your daddy will be here soon, I promise."

He started crying. What had happened? Why had mommy cried? Daddy did, too. His daddy never cried. Why now?

It all began in the night, when he heard a loud scream coming from the kitchen. He did not know what it was but it was not human. That was a fact. He knew a lot about monsters! His Daddy always told him about them. He heard his daddy yell, his mother cry and stood up in his bed, pressing his teddybear tightly to his shaking body.

"Daddy? Mommy?," he asked softly.

Then his father came into his room, switched the light on and grabbed him. He cuddled up to his father, losing his teddy.

"Daddy, wha' happned?"

"Gonna tell ya later, Buddy." He ran out of the house to the car. Mommy was already in there. She was bleeding. He could see it.

"Can you hold the baby?," Irvine asked her.

"Yes.. Give him to me.."

She held him close and hugged and kissed him. Whispered soft and sweet words into his ears to calm him a bit because he was crying.

They reached the hospital and the next thing he noticed was a nurse who took him away from his parents.

"I wan my mommy and daddy."

He felt a hand on his shoulder, turned around to see his father. His face was pale and he knelt down and pulled his crying son into a tight embress.

"Whewe is mommy?"

Irvine could not answer the question of his son. He just held him and kissed away his tears and hugged him until he stopped crying.

When Auron woke up he was in a bed. His fathers head was placed next to him, he was sitting on a chair next to the bed, sleeping. Auron smiled and scratched through his fathers hair. Irvine opened his eyes and looked up to his smiling son.

"Hey Daddy!"

"Hi, little buddy. How are you feeling?" He sat up and took his son in his arms, placing him on his lap and kissed his forehead.

"Okay I think. Whewe is mommy?" Sad eyes looked up to Irvine.

Irvine sighed and cuddled his son. He could not answer his question, yet.

The same day Irvine walked in the room of Auron with a little bundle in his arms. He sat next to him and looked at his newborn baby sister.

Some days later Irvine told him about his mother.about her death. An ocean of tears.

**end of flashback**

And now his father had the same look, was acting as he had 15 years ago, when he had to tell his son that his mother was dead.

"Auron. ya know. I.."

Damn, am I too stupid to say it? Just some words I have told him a thousand times before! Why not now? Irvine was confused. He turned back to his son and looked at him.

"I love you.I know it sounds stupid to say it. I mean."

Auron smiled. "No ..it doesn't. And I know, dad. So..why did you want to tell me that?"

"I did not want to tell you that. just want to say it again before my son will become a SeeD."

"Maybe I won't," Auron said playfully.

"If you don't stop joking you won't even get breakfast, so let me finish now."

"'kay dad!"

"Well. just want to give you something."

Irvine took off his necklace and gave it to his son. Auron had always loved the necklace. He played with it as a child and he loved the red colour of the stones. When he looked at them he was able to see little dragons and unicorns. One per stone. He loved it. Once his father told him that this was the only clue to his roots. Matron Edea gave Irvine when he had to leave the orphanage. She said this necklace was in an envelope, next to Irvine when she found him, crying on her stairs.

"Take care of it, Auron."

Auron was not able to answer, he just looked at the necklace and into the eye of a dragon.
