I don't own Timecrest all rights belong to sneak
OK, we are here now we're in chapter 10 the final chapter part one there are 10 chapters per part for the story and it'll make the story go longer.
This is a big chapter AC learns to be a hero from Zoe. Zoe teaches him what it means to be a true hero. She doesn't need all her emotions for that. She taught the young one how to be noble and kind to people and to be a true hero and what it means.
Maybe one day you'll be a real hero she said a true hero to the people like Kronas Alistair nodded as he focused a sword with hers he asked I didn't know you know, sword fighting. Oh, I learned fencing she said, I said, as I looked at him now stand your ground. I said he stood in the courtyard of our home.
Do you think you'll come and watch you mean Luther I don't know he might but not right now I said getting in my stance let us fence properly. You're a good sparring partner thank you. I said with gratitude I didn't save Luther for nothing. I wish I had taken you then when you were trailing your brother if I had, I would've been able to save you quicker and you could've lived with us.
I could have me and Iris and I he said, correcting his grammar thanks for correcting your grammar he knotted, but it would've been true. Iris could've lived and we could've been your kids already. Yes, Iris could've been your older sister. I said if I save you both.
He doesn't remember Iris, but I do. I have to help him with his memory. Lutheran and I will help along with him helping me get my emotions. He will help me get AC memories back as well. It's not fair especially so he can learn his magic.
When I first saw him, he was eight years old now he's almost a teenager or is a teenager and strong is good and I'm proud of him .
He was strong and he was fast and he was able to keep up with my light with my lightning speed with our sword clashing. He was good at swordsmanship that I knew.
That was good, but there were other things I needed to teach him and I taught him and he learned well you'll be ready for your first assignment soon I said he needed his head and said yes soon I will be good, but not now when you get older I'll send you to a guild. You'll need more training than what I can give you. How can I join the guild without magic? I will help you I said I'll help you figure out how to get back your lost memories and your loss I said.
After we were done, we ate lunch. I ate lunch with him. He told me that his brother never ate other meals except for breakfast with him so I ate lunch too and supper and any meal I could think of that I could eat with him besides just breakfast I want to spend as much time with the child. I wanna be a good mother besides my emotions back this is what I want to be a good mother to this child. And when I marry Luther, I hope he can become a good father to help.
As the night came, I held him and told him it's gonna be OK. Your brother can't hurt you here and you're mine now he knows his head OK Zoe?
And if he does, I can tell him that I'm your mommy. OK, he says I talked to him. He knew that he was too old for this, but I didn't care. I wanted to be a good mother and this was the only way I could show that kind of affection, it was a long hard day of training And there's more training ahead.
I went to bed myself the next day and the days after that were the same we'd been together eating breakfast. We've been together training, eating lunch, training some more eating dinner, and going to bed. He was getting stronger and was good. I didn't want to be weak, but even if he wasn't, I loved him anyway, we spar together all the time and it felt good when the loser would come over would spar with us and comment on how strong AC was getting you good I get to spar with you and Luther now yes we will spar with you. He's gotten stronger Luther commented yes, I said, hugging him, the only affection I could show without showing emotion. Don't worry, Zoe I promised you that I'm gonna help you get your emotions back. I know I know I said. You can't get yours back, but I can get mine and if not, I promised you that I would help you make new emotions yes I know that too.
We continue sparring with Alistair. He was strong fast. We were proud. Luther said I'll be proud to have him as my son soon. I know you will. I'll let you spar with him for a bit. I spar with him for the last several days and take Alistair's hand ready I watch as I give Luther a weapon he knew martial arts, thank goodness, even though he had no magic he was still strong he said was strong so I was very strong too.
Luther was not even with him with no magic. He told Alistair about how he sacrificed his magic and he became a hero and now he has to just adjust to life without his magic, which was very difficult for him, and a swiveling promotion Alistair quickly gave Luther my weapon. I'll teach you how to use this soon but here use the shield thanks, Zoe now you'll be even all right now go back in there precious he drank an aura potion and went back in. I watched mesmerized deflect with this shield, which was good.
He needed a sparring partner that was more on his level than I. They'll be great as father and son. This will be amazing when we get married and everything will be good soon. I'll be marrying him in another year or two. That'll be great too.
And one day I'll be able to bring Ash home maybe if not well at least I know secretly were ashes.
I washed in my love and jumped over AC's sword. Alice's sword went under him. He jumped over it, kicking it out of Alistair's hand, then arcing over his head and jumping and landing on his feet nice Luther I heard Alister call out to Alistair. He says you're strong I give you that kid. Alistair smiles Luther does too. I guess he does not have some emotion after all .
He's doing well, isn't he? Yes, I heard my love callout as he fought Alistair then it was my turn to get back in there after we were done. It was dinner time. We ate dinner and cooled off showered and then I went into bed Luther I stayed up for a little longer.
I know it was Scarlet. Who brought you? Yes, he says yes she did and she'll be picking me up again tomorrow. It sucks not having magic one day you'll have your magic back precious I know he says he takes my hand and his own, but this exercise with Alistair has been good for me. It's been a while since I've been able to fight in a while. You need to learn to keep yourself up as well as I know Riley's been helping to you are good a little injured but not bad you just need to practice with weapons a little more well I'm not good with weapons. I'm better with my magic. I know I said, as I laid my head on his shoulder this would be about the time we would be watching the sunset no sunsets he said not for another several more years yet I know you're ready to go to bed. Yes, I said as I took his hand, he me to my bedroom. Good night Zoe good night, darling.
I was quiet when I went to bed. I kissed Luther good night, one more time as he went to his room and shut the door.
I crawled out of the covers, exhausted turning was hard difficult, and tiring, but I had to get him trained not that I had to feel like he needed it. His brother did not train him well if he did he discouraged him. Well, he ain't gonna discourage him anymore that I'll make sure of it he'll get nothing but encouragement people think how can you encourage someone without emotion but I can.
It's the same with loving, even though I have no emotion I can still love well at least the notion of the word. and also know that Scarlet was coming to pick up Luther tomorrow under that too.
So we'll eat a good breakfast and then we will say goodbye. That's what happened the next day. Scarlet came and picked us up. Well picked him up Alistair and I waited goodbye I'll be back soon. Maybe not tomorrow but I'll be back again. I can't come every day you know I know that maybe Alastair and I will come to visit you on Ion, that could be good. I want to see it. It'll be his new home soon. The day is all right OK we'll come and visit you on. I'll see you tomorrow. I said I'll see you tomorrow. He says goodbye bye-bye.
I told him I held AC it's time for your other education now he knows and gets the terms ready mountain ready to go. This is also part of training. I said you need to learn well you need to learn to be able to read and write as well, I know how but I don't do it much. The tutors didn't do a whole lot for me. You don't need tutors. I will tutor you. I'm smart after all of being physically and mental you need to be smart.
He knots his head OK besides I do teaching here and there I said I'll be teaching a teach my little sister patience as well. She'll be here soon too. I'll be teaching you both. She doesn't know how to read well and you can show her how.
OK, I will teach you how I will teach her how to read at home my parents you've gotten to learn to read it better but my older sisters also join us even though they're my age are you in your 20s? Yes but still we're not I can teach because I learned quicker, but my sister didn't so I had to teach them all of them and my parents too soon the house was full my parents. My sisters were all in the house. Tom's ready to go.
I need to buckle up for a day of teaching. This is what I do in my spare time.

We'll get to see how that works out she be teaching AC or just Alistair now Alister Baker and her parents and her sisters won't that be fun we'll get to see that part in the next chapter in chapter 11.
