Lina froze and she look back. Crack!. Crackkkkkkk!
"Oh no" hina said, her hand tighten. "l-lina, you said the seal of eternity can whitstand anything, r-right" hina ask, she took a step back.
"Y-yeah" lina said her eyes filled with dread. Young master...j-just how much mana did you have, she thought to herself, her voice stuck in her throat.
The seal crack! Again. Silence filled the room except only a faint amount of mana came out from free, lina breath were heavy, sweat pouring down her chin. Free's body glowed, the glow faded after sometime.
"T-the seal is stable now. No danger, but the mana is leaking out" lina said, falling to her knees.
"Thank the gods..." hina said, she was still trembling. She walked to free, who sleeping soundly in the bed "B-but still. I can believe the seal crack again" she said.
"yeah, me too" lina said, she was still in her knees, her breathing slowly back to normal. "Just how much mana does young master had" she said glancing toward free.
"let's go down for now, i am already tired" hina said, she walked out of the room.
lina slowly stand up to her feet, she glance at free "Young master..... just... what are you" she ask, no one answered.
Down stairs, hina was cooking lunch. but her hands still trembled at the soun of the cracking of the seal earlier. I should be happy, yeah! I should be free mana is almost sealed, yet he is able to use it because of the leakage, she thought yet, her hands didn't stop trembling.
Lina came down her hair was slightly messy. Hina didn't say anything, she just kept cooking the food.
"Lady hina" lina said, holding a mop.
"Y-yeah" hina said, turning towards lina.
"I am going to clean the living room" lina said, and left the kitchen.
She is still a bit startled by the crack, hina thought she look toward where lina left and crack a faint smile. she will get better overtime, lina thought.
2 weeks later.....
"THERE!" philip shout, storming out of a bush. He was hunting a goblin "OKOTO IT WENT THERE!" philip yelled, okoto jump out of a tree branch.
Slash!. The goblin fall to the ground with a thud.
"5 WITH THIS ONE!!" okoto shouted, grinning like he just won a war.
"That was the 5th goblin here" philip said, while he cut the goblin's ear. "let's go and have lunch" he said.
"But i am not hungry, let's hunt some more" okoto said, his grin faltering.
"Lunch or hina's pan treatment" philip said, with a too sweet smile.
"I-i am suddenly getting hungry" okoto said, cleaning the green blood from his sword.
"good" philip said, he tuck the pouch of goblin ears into his pocket and walk back to the road that leads to the village.
"hey you!" a voice called out. philip and okoto turn back, a man in silver armor, sitting on a horse, his helmet shine as sunlight touch it, in his chest was a crest, not any oridinary crest but the crest of the royal family, those who had it are called....
"Holy.....knights..." philip said, his eyes open wide. "Holy sh**, isn't he getting boiled inside!!" philip laughed at the knight's armor.
"YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT!!" okot laughed louder.
"Have some manners..." the knight said, and sighs. "i am too tired to even punish you" he muttered.
"A-anyway, why is someone like a holy knight here?" philip asked, he tried to stop laughing but can't.
"yes, about that" the knight said, he took out a scroll and show it to both of them. "i amhere to investigate on the disaster that occur two weeks ago" he said, putting his scroll back.
"Ah. About the fainting incident" okoto said, scratching his chin his smile was gone.
"faint what?" the knight ask.
"the wave that throw everyone back two weeks ago. We called it fainting incident, half the village fainted" okoto said, his eye closed deep in thought.
"whatever, after heavy investigation we came here because from all around tge country people were getting throw as if a barrier was suddenly formed and the village was in the center" the knight said, his coming down from his horse.
"wait, it did WHAT!" philip scream. "you mean that wave reached the whole kingdom!!" he ask.
"Yeah, it did. Not just this kindom, but the neighbour kingdom too, though it was faint" the knight said, annoyed at the screams.
"now that is concerning" okoto muttered to himself.
"aahh!. Just give me some info i want to quickly go home and have some damn sleep" the knight said, his voice a bit tired.
"woah woah. Okay man, but are you sure leaving without investigating the village" philip said.
"yeah i am, i've been investigating for weeks yet no clue except peopke pointing where that wave came from" the knight said, scratching his helmet.
"okay okay!. we'll give it to you" philip said. "This is gonna be troublesome" he muttered.
1 hour later....
"thanks for the info!" the knight shouted, as he left.
"that was very hard" okoto muttered.
"uhh....o-okoto" philip said, his face turning pale.
"what now!" okoto yelled, annoyed.
"lunch?" philip said, he quickly sprinted to the village.
"what?lunch? Just tha...." okoto said, then his words stuck as the realization hit his face. His face turn pale and he got up and sprinted to the village.
"Hina is gonna fry us" philip screamed, running faster. His adrenaline rushed "adrenaline burst! 1st form". Philip speed increased.
"hey! That's cheating, using your special technique like that" okoto yelled, he sprinted faster.
In the end they got pan'd by hina, the food was already cold but that's a story for another time.
2 years later.....
At night...
"happy birth day, free!!!" hina, lina and philip shouted. Free, now 6 years old, older and taller gave a faint smile, he look at the dishes in the table.
"T-Thanks mom, dad and lina!" Free said, happily.
Lina walk up to him holding a pen wrapped in paper "young master, this is a spell pen" she said. "when you need to write spell or new ones, use this okay" she handed it to free.
Free's face lit up "thank hina!!" he shouted. i can even make new spells with this, he thought.
Lina walk up holding a book, she gave him a warm smile and gave him the book "Free, this is a spell book. You are 6 now best time to start using magic" she said. Free can finally use his first spell after all this years of asking for a spell book, she thought.
"Finally!. Thank you, mom!!" free shouted, a smile curved on his lips. Finally new spells! I was tired to use the same spell everyday for the past 6 years, he thought. He open the book to read new spells...
"ouh! My turn!" philip yelled, snacthing the spell book from free.
"O-oh yeah, it's dad's turn" free said, glancing at the book in philip's hand.
Philip took a sword out. It was slick, black handle, sharp edge and tip. "free this sword is custom made by the best blacksmith in the village" he said, handing it to free.
Free stare at the sword, then took it "it...beautiful" he said, the sword hum in his hand.
"Yeah!. It's specially design for battle so it's light" he said, giving back the spell book he took.
"Thanks for all the gifts" free said, taking the spell book. I can't wait to try it all, he thought.
They all ate..... At midnight..
Free eyes jolt open.... He glance everywhere, everyone's asleep.
Free sat on his bed and he took the spell book that laid beside his pillow. He look at the low tier spell sections and a spell caught his eye, he raise his palmv"Oo goddess of fire. I have faith and respect in you please grant me your blessing, fire ball" he said, a flame appread on his palm then growed bigger. "ahh wait wait" he said quickly deactivating the fire in his palm. It's dangerous to use it inside the house, he thought.
Then... A sound came from outside his room.... Free glance at his door.
"who would be awake at this hour?" he muttered and walk out from his room, the sound was coming from lina's room, her door was slightly open. Free glance at it and what infront of him made his jaws drop. He silently walk back to his room, eyes filled with dread.
"w-wha..." the words stuck in his throat.
The next morning.... Free was silent while eating breakfast.
Hina noticed "free what's wrong sweetie?" hina asked, confused.
"N-nothing, just a bad dream last night" he said, he finish his breakfast ans quickly walking back to his room.
"what happen to him?" hina said, now worried.
"A bad dream can make him like that!" philip shouted. "I was thinking of taking him to his first hunt" philip said his mood down.
"don't worry honey. He will get better overtime right, lina" she said, glancing toward lina.
"Y-yeah" lina said, her face was a bit pale. He saw us last night, she thought.
