"Mom, Liren's picking on me again!"
A small boy raced over the hill in front of a cozy farming homestead half way between Luca and the Moonflow. A beautiful woman worked in her garden, and looked up at the cry, wiping the sweat from her brow.
He stumbled into his mother's arms, tripping over black clad legs. His charming caramel brown eyes where filled with tears.
"What is it my little warrior?"
The boy clung to his mother's chest as she cradled him close.
"She said I was short and a baby, I'm not am I mama?" The boy looked up at her, longing for the answer he wanted.
The lovely woman began to laugh, her long, thick black hair and light brown eyes sparkling in the sunshine.
"Mama?" the boy protested.
"My dear Auron," she said sobering and stroking his long black hair, so similar to her own wit her long gentle fingers.
"You are six years old, you are small and you are and always will be my baby boy."
"But I wanna grow up, why does she have to be so mean to me?"
"Your big sister loves you Auron, someday she will know this in her head as she knows it in her heart."
"I wanna be big."
"Oh my dear son, someday. You may never be large of stature, for you resemble your dear father and he was never very tall, but your heart my dear, sweet Auron shall always be large. One day you will be a great man."
"Yeah!" exclaimed the boy, cheering up immediately. "I will and I won't be mean like Liren."
"Go play little Auron and don't be too hard on your sister, she misses your father too."
"Yes mama."
He ran off to play, leaving his mother with her whimsical thoughts.
"A strong and handsome man, like your father you will be. But don't grow up too quickly my dear boy. Your path is fraught with danger and loss, but someday you may aid all of Spira. I believe in you."
