"You lost your memories?""Why? How?"Both Ian and Ash asked simultaneously as they looked at Louis. "I don't know.. Maybe it was a backlash for overusing my powers.. Or a side effect from trying to cure Lucas.. "Louis looked down helplessly as he thought about their question. It was a question that he himself was dying to know the answer of. "What happened next?"Ian asked. "The next time I opened my eyes, I was inside a prison like cell, along with Lucas. And with no memory of the past.""So the slave traders somehow got to you two while you were unconscious?"Ian wondered what kind of shitty luck one needed to have such a thing happening to them. Just imagine, a being powerful enough to be called saint, someone whom King's and Queens bowed to, had their memory snatched away from them and was left with a kid too small to know about the dangers of the world. "They had already placed a restricting collar on me by then, eliminating any chance of my powers returning to me."Ian rem
The next day.Everyone was having their lunch together in the royal palace due to the King's request. Even Oliver was there. He now knew about the true identity of Louis and was acting a little awkward since he was confused about how to behave around them. Ian looked at Lucas who was sitting between the King and the Queen. Although the child looked a little less awkward compared to yesterday, he still didn't look like he belonged there. "Really.. I don't know how to thank you guys enough for what you did yesterday.."The King was thanking Ian and his party for what they did. They were simply people who came to know Oliver through a weird set of circumstances. Neither did they have any close relationship with the cat tribe, nor were the obliged to go through so much just to help them.Yet, without any greed or hidden agenda, they simply decided to help them out. Their whole tribe was saved due to Ian and his party's generosity. "Anyone would've done so in our position."Ian remembe
Louis and Ian was having a conversation about what their future actions are going to be when Ash knocked and entered the room.He saw the huge board in front of Ian. He had been helping Ian put it all together throughout the whole week so it wasn't anything new to him.And the questions Louis was asking, the confusions and doubts that he had, Ash had felt them weeks or maybe even months ago.He was the one closest to Ian. The one who knew about each and every one of his crazy stunts and impossible to explain decisions.That's why, to Ash at least, it wasn't unnatural. He knew Ian's personality better than anyone, and how private of a person he was, how much he hated attention.More than anything, how much he wanted to stay hidden from the mass. It was almost as if he was traumatized by something, making it almost impossible for him to accept the attention of the masses. "The others are ready."Ash informed Ian while taking a seat at the nearby chair. They were planning on leaving tod
A bright and dazzling morning. Ian and his party was up and running once more after having their breakfast. "The omlette cooked by Ian are really the best." Rick exclaimed as he rubbed his full belly. Ian always wanted them to eat freshly cooked meals and prepared their meals accordingly. Everyone helped by either collecting herbs or vegetables, some hunted wild animals while the others collected firewood. After two or three days, at night, they'd make a temporary shelter and get some sleep. Since all of them were mana users, they didn't need regular sleep like normal people. It had already been more than three weeks that they left the village of the cat tribe. During these three weeks, they visited two other places, both of which were under the organisations attack. As for how Ian managed to find these places, it was all thanks to the board. The information he had about the future and the ones he collected through the help of the cat tribe gave him a clear idea about the lo
A fresh breeze surrounded them from the moment Ian called out to his familiars. The boring, monotonous mood disappeared and was replaced with a happy and jolly atmosphere. As Ian looked at the three kids hugging and petting his familiars, a smile automatically appeared in his lips. Even the ones that had never seen them before, like Rick and his guards, had their guards down and were looking at Jet and the others with gazes full of curiosity.Amber was already near the kids, trying to act friendly so she could get a chance to pet them as well. Following her, even the others had also started approaching them just to get a chance at befriending them.Jet and the others were wary of their presence at first since they weren't familiar with them. Whenever one of them tried to pet them, they'd fly away or jump back.Ian couldn't help but chuckle seeing the expression of heartbreak in each of their faces as they failed to pet them or earn their trust.At first, it was Amber. When she fail
Smash! With the sound of something smashing against a tree, someone's palm turned into a fist full of scratches and wounds came into view. As they punched against the tree in such a violent manner, the friction caused a few new cuts to appear along with the countless old ones. "Why can't we find him?!" Arthur shouted as he tried to punch the tree again. But this time, he was stopped by one of his teammates. "Getting angry won't help, you know." She was one of the calmest and wisest member of his team. And all that wisedom was nothing but a result of years of experience as she was also the oldest one. Sierra, the Queen of elves, nobody knew exactly how old she was. And since some of the elves lived for even more than a thousand years, it was even more unpredictable. "It's just so frustrating.." Arthur expressed his feelings but at the same time, he also calmed down. As he took a seat nearby, Sierra came and sat by his side to keep him company and listen to his worries. "
"My lord!"Corner called out to Miller as he ran behind him. Miller was only there for a few minutes, ordering the knights and informing them of their next mission before he keft to do more paperwork in his office. It was another one of those days where they were too busy to even take a ten minute breather. But even so, it wasn't normal for Miller to ignore Corner. That was the only unusual part.And this has been going on for the last month, a whole month. He wouldn't avoid him usually, unless when Corner brought up the topic of Ian. It all started a month ago. Miller called for Corner in the middle of the night, making him run to his chamber only in his pajamas. It was unusual, for his lord to call for him with such urgency in the middle of the night, unless it had something to do with Ian. And just like today, he went running in that night as well, wondering if there were news about Ian, or even better, if the kid was finally back.But unlike what he had expected, the scene bef
"My ear's itchy.."Ian said looking back, wondering who was talking about him now. Right now they were a few miles away from their next destination. It was a mountain. Multiple mountain's actually.They were currently trying to check out the area where the tigers lived. And since they were territorial animals, they each had their own mountain that they ruled over.Ian knew this, and so did everyonr else there. It was a commonly known fact. That's why they decided to stay away and observe instead of mindlessly approaching them.Part of the reason was because Ian was a little scared of pissing them off, and the other reason had to do with not wanting to bother someone's peace over something that may or may not have happened yet."You have many people that think about you, brother."Ash spoke in a low voice from behind. They were currently divided into groups of two as each group was in charge of checking out different mountains.Till now, there weren't anything unusual that Ian found a
