Faul: The Reincarnation

LITTLE KING OF MISCHIEF

Ten years felt like a few days for Faul and felt like forever for Maria and Billie. Faul lived for over five thousand years before his death and reincarnation, so a mere ten years felt like nothing.

Faul is now a young strong man, he is ten years old but his strength and physique are not like that of a ten years boy. Faul killed a wild boar with bare hands at the age of five and knocked down a full-grown giant wild tiger about ten feet tall with a single punch. The power, strength, and speed he has are beyond that of an average human. With all this strength and power he has never for once acted out against his mother or Billie. He loves the two with everything he has.

Each time he achieves another miles stone, he leaves Maria and Billie in awe. Faul kept growing both in wisdom and in strength, the three have been in the mountain for ten years and have forgotten how it feels to live in an actual city. Maria still wants his son to live the life of a normal human, but whenever she sees Faul she realizes he can never live a normal life.

Faul has red pupils like that of a dragon, hard scales that run down his spine, and two tiny crystal-like fangs. These things alone have shown that Faul is not fully human. Faul has learned how to retract and show his fangs at will, but the red eye and the scales are still there.

Faul, Billie, I need to talk to both of you; Maria called out after much consideration.

The two boys sat down and was staring at Maria as if their life depended on it.

Maria stared at the two boys with her heart full of pain for not being able to give them a normal life.

I want us to move to a city, we have been in the mountains for years, I want you two to have a life outside this mountain; Maria said to the boys

Yeah!!! Faul shouted

You know I've been sneaking out for some time now to look at the city, the city is so beautiful and people there are very kind to each other; Faul kept saying out of joy without seeing the reaction on the faces of the two.

Maria and Billy were very surprised at what Faul was saying. They stared at each other and saw the surprise in their eyes. But they decided not to talk to him about his act of sneaking out to the city.

Faul listens, humans are not like they seem at first glance. There is both good and bad human, there are those who will want to hunt you down for what you are, those who will want you to get hunted down for not understanding what you are, and those who will want to help you for not understanding what you are and those that will help you because they consider you their friend and because they love you; Maria said staring at her son.

Please I need you to promise to always listen to me when we are out in the city, the city is not safe for you, so you need to lay low when we get there; Maria said showing her pinky to Faul to seal the pinky promise.

Faul connected his pinky with his mother's and promised with all his heart.

Alright everybody prepare we are leaving for the city at dawn; Maria said

She went straight and started turning every piece of earth she raised to build their shelter back to how it used to be. It took her almost all night to do so because they turned the mountain into a little reinforced fortress because of how destructive Faul's training turned.

And at dawn, they left for the city to start a new life.

Will Faul survive the pressure of the city without acting out? That was the question that kept lingering in Maria's thoughts as they were on their journey to the city.
