Faul: The Reincarnation

THE JOURNEY BEGINS

"Wakie wakie" Faul heard someone say after he opened his eyes. Everything was so blurry that he can't recognize anything or anyone.

"Where am I?" Faul asked the only figure he make out to be a young girl of his age.

"Uh, dad! He's awake!" The girl shouted. Faul was still confused about what actually is happening. He was wondering how he even got there in the first place.

"Anna, I told you to stay away from this room didn't I?" the muscular man asked the little girl.

"I'm sorry Dad" Anna pouted as she apologized to her father

"Kid, how are you," the man asked turning to Faul who was still confused.

"You have been unconscious for a week now, I was worried if you will ever wake up as your body kept rejecting all sorts of acupuncture administered to you" the man added still staring straight at the confused Faul.

"Oh I'm Alfred and this is my daughter Anna," Alfred said pointing at his daughter.

"I know who you are sir, I saw you the day we came Into town for registration. Thank you for taking care of me all this while but I need to go and find my mother" Faul said as he got up from the bed and was ready to leave.

"At least your benefactor needs to know the name of the young lad he helped, right?" Alfred asked staring at Faul wondering where he has seen him. He looks so familiar he thought.

"Uh," Faul said scratching the back of his head. "My name is Faul Scar," Faul said casually still eager to leave

Ding ding. Alfred's eyes wanted Faul out of its socket. His good friend, Frederick told him his son's name before he was taken by the red death ten years ago and has made him vow to protect his family. He has been looking for them for ten years only for the son to arrive on his doorstep.

"You must be Maria's kid," Alfred asked with regret in his tone. The mention of his mother's name jolted him and he stared at Alfred keenly.

"You know my mother?" Faul asked

"Yes, your father was a very good friend of mine back then in Karaza. Before his death he made me vow to find you and your mother but after all these years of searching, I couldn't find you. I'm glad you are here. Your mother must be the sorcerer the pure blood captured" Alfred said staring at Faul.

Anna was still staring at both Faul and her father confused. Her father she knew doesn't acknowledge strangers but now it was different. She understood from the conversation that there was a connection between them.

"Let me tell you something Faul" Alfred's voice broke out again

"The pure blood is not targeting all refugees, they want those of us from Karaza. The leader is Alfonsus, your father's chief servant. After what happened on the island of Shunga ten years ago, he has made it his work to get rid of you and your mother. He was infected by the red death, he is a true infected, he can control his aura and appearance, so people don't know what he is" Alfred said once again

"You are welcome to stay here but you can also go if you wish. I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill the promise I made to your father. Don't go out to fight Alfonsus, the current you can't win against him" Alfred said as he walked out the door.

Faul was rooted to the ground. What can a ten years old him do but he needs to find his mother no matter what. But he believes that they can't kill his mother because he was the main target and not his mother.

Faul decided to stay and train more as the years go by.

Anna left and Faul followed her out of the room.

" I will surely save you mother I will surely save you. I'm not strong enough, so I will wait for Billie to find me and I will surely save you" Faul said to himself as he made his way with Anna to the training field
