MANY YEARS A DAY

It has been months since the fall of Karaza and the arrival of Maria and the household to the Island of Shunga. Everyone gathered around a campfire at night to enjoy a little peace of mind after months of grief and the loss of Frederick. Faul was in his mother's arms sleeping quietly, all of a sudden there was a strong wind that blew over the Island, and Faul gave out a roar like a baby dragon and open his bloodshot eyes. The light that emitted from Faul's eye was very bright it illuminates the area around the campfire.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaag!!!!! Faul roared and sprang from his mother's arm his hair was all standing and his tiny body was emitting a glow like his skin is made of diamond. He looked around in anger and let out another roar and fell to the ground.

The roar, the red eyes, and the skin glow shocked everyone. They haven't seen anything like that before and they were all afraid that maybe Faul was Infected by the red death.

Faul, my baby; Maria called out with tears. She clearly remembered what her husband said because with Faul's sudden appearance and outburst, the sword Frederick gave to Maria started glowing. Maria understands that Faul might be linked to the sword so she has to protect her son. Everyone drew their weapons ready to pounce on him, immediately the first person is about to take action, Maria lifted her arm and a wall of ice blocked the path of the attacker.

If anyone of you makes any move on my son, I won't hesitate to retaliate; Maria said with determination written all over her face.

Don't you see he is infected?! Shouted the man

We need to kill him: said another

He is a misfortune, we got attacked and driven out of our city on the day he was born by the red death; said another.

Even his father died, he's a curse! Shouted another

We need to get rid of him! Said another

I said if anyone makes any move I won't hesitate to fight back! Maria shouted with tears on her face as she picked up her son.

I'm with my auntie, if anyone makes any move on Faul I will fight you all with my auntie! Shouted Billie Maria's young nephew of ten years.

We don't care! It's either you or us! Attack!! Kill them!!! Shouted Alfonsus the eldest servant of the household.

As he made his move the sword in Maria's waist started glowing red once again and immediately left the scabbard and left an afterimage in the air as it stood between the attackers and Maria who is carrying Faul in one hand and holding Billie in the other hand, the sword split up into a thousand small blades.

All the attackers stopped on their track knowing the strange sword might attack if they enter its attack range.

Maria was shocked at the sudden strange incident happening today, Faul's First word to be the name of the most dreaded name, his red eyes, glowing skin, and now a glowing flying sword protecting them.

Maria took the initiative and ran in the opposite direction with her Faul and Billie both in her arms now. She used the ice magic she has to boost her speed by sliding on it and the movement was fast. At the edge of the island, Maria jumped straight into the sea, freezing every step she took on the sea for easy movement. Maria took Faul and Billie and escaped the Island of Shunga to save her son.

The sword that was dancing in the air turned into dust as it left all the attackers looking at each other with a shocked faces.
