New Beginning

Silent Blade(for short „Silen”) was roaming through the forest, deep in his dispear.

He had just lost his mentor and his best friend.

He decided to not come back to the home he used to live in and start traveling on his own. So he only went to a small town to buy all needed stuff and went on. He found a river and decided to follow it.

He traveled right until the noon when he decided to take a break. He set a tent and went inside. He decided to take a nap

After 5 years

Silen was fishing until he heard some cry right next to him. It was a cry for help. Also it sounded like a child was crying for help so Silen quickly got up and ran to check what was happening.

All he found was a small Avian kid with brown hair and blue eye. Other eye was covered by bandages. The kid also had white wings with black tips.

He was stuck in one of hunter traps.

„Those hunters again ugh” Silen though and then approached the kid.

- You’re safe – he said to kid. The kid looked at him, Silen could see that he’s terrified.

- help – the kid squeaked.

- Don’t move – Silen said and took a knife out of a pocket in his coat. He then cut the rope kid was tangled in.

Silen caught the kid as he was falling. The kid instantly hugged Silen.

- Surely better to take you to my camp for now, huh? – Silen whispered. He didn’t know how much the kid trust him that he won’t hurt him.

- oki – the kid said quietly. There was something familiar in his voice but Silen couldn’t point what it was.

Silen then carried kid to his camp and prepared some quick meal for him. After doing so, Silen went to the bonfire and started to move the embers in it with a stick.

- are you sad? – He suddenly heard. It was the kid.

- Well... kinda – Silen frowned, he really didn’t wanted to explain it to him.

Instead of a question, the kid walked to him and gave Silen a hug.

- What’s your name, little one? – Silen remembered suddenly that he didn’t asked about it.

- I’m Mizun, and you? – Mizun asked.

- I’m Silent Blade – Silen answered. It was first time anyone asked about his name since the disaster five years ago.

- Can I call you „Silen”? – Mizun asked while trying to get onto Silen’s lab, Silen helped him.

- Sure – Silen agreed even though it reminded of his old name, which was „Alon”.

Suddenly something on the side caught Mizun’s eye.

- Is that a sniper rifle? – he asked. Silen looked at what Mizun meant. It was Neron’s old sniper rifle, which Silen... inherited. Silen nodded.

- Can you show me how to use it? – Mizun asked. It reminded Silen about how he became an apprentice of one specific person.

- I can, but I would have to take you as my apprentice – Silen stated.

- I want it! – Mizun yelled while looking right into Silen’s eyes, which made him(Silen) uncomfortable.

- Sure thing, but we’ll start tomorrow – Silen stated while looking away.

- I’ll get ready for it – Mizun stated and jumped off Silen’s lab. He then headed to the tent’s entrance.

- Good night – he said.

- Good night – Silen replied softly, set realizing it’s already evening. He then put fire out and went into the tent and lied down right next to Mizun.

He noticed that Mizun didn’t have any blankets on, so he covered him with his own, while not having any on himself. He then set down facing the other side of the tent and while thinking about tomorrow he fell asleep.
