Child of the Earth
Illustrious Sorrow
Chapter 2
Amaya and Kaemon Kaminari smiled as they watched their four year old son play in the garden. Dmitri was growing into a
stunning little boy. He was cheerful and sweet, and his strangely colored eyes only enhanced the beauty of his honey-sweet
face.
The little boy was bent over, watching a small yellow flower bud.
"Okaa-san! Come and see!" Dmitri called, his voice melodious and innocent with pleasure
"Alright Demi, what is it?" Amaya stood and walked over too her son, closely followed by her curious husband.
"Watch!" Dmitri leaned down and gently stroked the little flower with his soil dirtied fingers. As he touched it, the little
yellow flower blossomed into the most beautiful flower as ever had graced the face of the earth.
Amaya and Kaemon were speechless. They had guessed that there son would be powerful, the eyes of the boy had told them that.
The deep green of the forest, of earth, with the amber ring had early on signified that Dmitri would be a powerful earth
mage, just as Amaya's nearly red eyes with amber signified that she was a first class fire mage, and Kaemon's sea blue and
silver eyes said he was a second class water mage, however, despite the warnings, they had never guessed that their son would
show his powers so early.
"Sweetheart, that's beautiful."
"Arigato, Kaa-san."
"What should we do with it?"
"We should give it friends."
"Friends?" This time it was Kaemon who spoke.
"Hai, friends." As Dmitri spoke, he laid his fingers on the ground and there was a teeny tremor before dozens of flowers,
some yellow, but others were extraordinary colors and shades. There were red, purple, pink, white, blue, and mixed colors.
All were beautiful and in perfect health.
Amaya and Kaemon stood side by side, expressions identical in their shock.
"Kaa-san? Oto-san?" Dmitri finally turned his sparkling eyes to his parents, hoping for approval.
Abruptly brought back to their senses by their son's words, the Kaminari's smiled at their son.
"They are beautiful, come inside now, it's time for your nap.
"Noo! I don't wanna!" Dmitri squealed as his father picked his up.
"Oto-san!"
"Come on, Demi, time for a bath and then bed."
As they carried him into the bathroom, Amaya and Kaemon shared a long look, wondering if the world would be safe for their
powerful son.
**One year later**
"Kaemon! Hide Dmitri! They're coming!"
"No! I'm fighting with you!"
"I'm stronger, I'll try to wear them done. If I fail, take Demi and run! Please!" Her eyes were pleading, "Demi must live! He
needs someone with him, go!"
After a long moment, Kaemon turned, and, grabbing the son that he and his wife had created, he ran past the house and into
the forest behind it.
After running for what felt like days, Kaemon set down his son.
"Demi, let's play hide and seek. There are a bunch of people coming to find you, and so you need to hide. Do you want to
play?" He asked his son, projecting a false brightness in his voice. The small boy, only five years old, gave his father a
searching look, as if knowing that he was lying, before answering in the same cheerful tone he always used.
"Hai, Oto-san!"
"Don't come out until someone you know comes to find you, ok?"
"Hai!"
"Good boy, ai shiteru, Dmitri."
"Ai Shiteru, Oto-san. Nobody'll find me! I love this game!"
With that, Dmitri seemed to melt into the tree bark.
"Good bye, Demi, be safe." With that, Kaemon ran to join his wife.
When he arrived, his wife was in the center of flame, shooting the blazing fire at the attacking mages. He could easily see
an air and water mage, both were one of the few first class, as well as a more common third class fire mage. Luckily, there
were no earth mages, nobody would be able to find Dmitri.
Water raging around him, Kaemon entered the battle, trying fiercely to wound or kill the enemy, fighting for his son's life,
alongside his wife.
**
After several hours waiting hidden deep in the forest, little Dmitri crawled out of the tree where he was hiding. Toddling
quickly back to the house were he and his parents lived. The trees and flowers guided him out and upon reaching the ruins of
where his house should be, he saw his parents, and scampered up to them. They were wet, red and smoking.
"Kaa-san? Oto-san? Kaa-san!" Dmitri fell on top of them, begging them to wake up, crying when they wouldn't, and finally
falling into a restless sleep atop them.
