chapter 4

(Aunin's Pov)

I found myself in a small crib-like object covered by a dark purple blanket and found myself feeling very sleepy. When I went to sleep my mind wondered and felt something holding back my power. I realized that this is what nega-jumpchain ment when she said that there was going to adjustments. I started to feel my mind also going into a deeper sleep and decided to go with the flow. I decided to leave the future to my future-self.

"See you later!" is what I hear as I left the blacksmiths forge to go my next lesson in managing finances. As the future ruler of Kush I was given a schedule for my lessons. The lessons were as follows: religion, leadership,warfare, mathematics, magic,training,my choice, accounting,my choice.

So I went to the ziggurat that my mother and her council use for meetings. As I made my way to it I saw a small child with blond hair in braided pigtails and red eyes who was sitting at the foot of the ziggurat. As I got closer the child stood up to greet me and I noticed that she had a slightly tanned skin tone that was still somewhat pale much like my own skin tone. I recognized her as my friend"Ish!" I said as I approached her guickly and hugged her when I got close enough. I thought about the time I met her while she hugged me back.

I was walking around the residence district when I saw a little girl looking sad so I decided to comfort her and asked what's wrong. The girl answered "Everyone's been calling me useless." I didn't know what to say so I just put my arms around her and hugged her as I gently began to rock her back and forth to comfort her. after a couple of seconds I said "you are not useless, only you can decide that." then I left her to ponder on my words. through I couldn't see her face as I left she gained a bright blush as she stared at my back as I left to go to my lessons.

I was still hugging then stopped and said*"shall we go to my lesson?"*she nodded and both of you went to the lesson.
