Faul: The Reincarnation

SECRET IN THE WOODS

Faul arrived with Phil in the equipment room to select their training equipment. Faul was busy walking around from one piece of equipment to another and Phil was staring at him wondering what he will do next.

"Hey Phil. what do you think about this?" Faul said lifting a blade on the wall. It was a shot Black sword with a red scaly hilt.

"Uh. it looks devilish" Phil said laughing. Faul joined in the laughter. Phil was surprised that Faul was laughing because that was his first time seeing him laugh since Faul came to the camp.

"You made a good choice son. Your father picked up that same sword the day we arrived at our training camp back then" said Alfred as he walked into the room

"| heard you beat up someone on your first day into the training camp’ Alfred said giving Faul a thumbs up.

"Now off you go if you are done picking your equipment," Alfred said the two boys away.

News of Harry getting beaten up in the camp and the words Faul said reached Harry's father in the capital city.

“What! A ten-year-old boy said | should come to challenge him. Hahaha. interesting. make sure he got selected in this coming warrior selection. so I will show him not to mess with my family" Harry's father. Sir Ragnik said.

Days passed and no one else dared to look for Faul's trouble, even Harry has been avoiding him all this while giving Phil a few days of a happy life in the camp.

Faul has been training every day with Phil till they are exhausted. most times they will decide to run up the hill to train themselves.

Anna has also grown fond of Faul and has grown to start liking him.

"Your little girlfriend is coming," Phil said teasing Faul. Faul's face flushed and turn bright red hearing Phil's remark.

"You are crazy Phil, you are really crazy," Faul said

giving Phil a light punch. "Ouch! That hurts! Phil complained. Faul wanted to say something but was interrupted by Anna. "Hey Faul, hey Phil." Anna greeted

“Hey, Anna" responded the boys.

"Do you mind escorting me to get herbs from the forest the cook needs them for our food" Anna said staring at the boys with pleading eyes?

"Ok. let’s go then. lead the way" Faul said as he gestured to Anna to lead the way.

The three went straight up the mountain to get the herbs. When they got to the mountain the two boys decided to spar with each other while Anna started grabbing the herbs.

After some hours have passed. the two boys sat down to rest while Anna was still busy grabbing the herbs until they heard a loud growling from the woods. Anna stood up immediately in fear and so was the two boys. but

Faul's actions weren't of fear but excitement. Grrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrr! Grrrrrrrr!

Three giant wolves of about two meters tall were walking close to them.

"Anna stays still don't run and don't take your eyes off them," Faul said as he was slowly moving closer to Anna.

"Now run!" Faul shouted as he dragged Anna and went straight to cut down the first wolf. Immediately the wolf was about to chomp down on Faul his body was covered in scales and his eyes started glowing, his eyes turned bright red and his two fangs grew. Faul roared like a dragon and the three wolves bent down and bowed for Faul in submission before they ran back Into the forest.

Although the wolves has disappeared, Fear was still gripping Phil and Anna because of what they were seeing. They remembered what they heard happened the day pure blood raiders attached the Karaza refugees in Jura, how a ten year old boy cut down twenty warriors in one clean sweep.

Faul has an idea of his appearance that instance, he hesitated to turn around because he can't control when to change to his dragon-like self and when to change back to his normal self.

"Don't come any closer!" Phil picked up a stick and pointed it at Faul. Faul on the other hand wasn't surprised at the scenes. Immediately his body turned to his normal self because his emotion has been stirred.

"Phil, what's wrong with you? it's me Faul" Faul said coming closer. Phil was trembling gripped with fear.

"Phil waits if this is not Faul he would have attacked us by now," Anna said walking towards faul. Anna reached out and gave Foul a bear hug which got both Faul and Phil in surprise.

"I Know you are not a monster. just what happened to you" said Anna Before letting go off faul.

Faul felt the need to explain to his friends what he is and what he was before now. He told them everything about his past life. how Azra was his home and how it was destroyed by Gap and how he was reincarnated into a human. The story was unbelievable but the scene now made it believable.

"This is my secret. the pure blood is actually after me and not the refugees from Karaza. my mother has been hiding me all these years but now they have captured her but I'm not strong enough to find her that's why 1 am trying to grow stronger" Faul said as he got up to head back to the camp.

The three of them went back in silence. Phil went straight to sleep immediately after they pot back because the story he heard ts too much for him and it was the same for Anna.

Faul went straight back into the forest to hunt for food because recently he has been craving raw meat. And the forest is the only place to get it without suspicions.
