chapter 1: happiness

I'm walking across a deserted bridge, not a single soul in sight. Everywhere I look, beige building's with
missing windows, a dried riverbed beneath me, dead tree's scattered around: a true ghost town in a
wasteland, I walk towards one of the building's out of curiosity. Theres a tennis court with an aluminum
fence surrounding it and a basketball court perpendicular to it. To my right is a hill, to my left, a 4 story
building.to my far right, near the basketball court is a road that goes somewhere in the distance to the
right, I don't know where it leads to, but I'm not interested in it. To my far left is a metal walkway
attached to the building, supported by metal beams. In the basketball courtyard I see two gorilla's that
clearly have grotesque mutations looking at me. I don't particularly feel threatened, but I decide to
avoid making them angry, so I run 4 steps towards the walkway and jump, left hand up, aiming at the
edge of the roof, and fire a black web-like substance and use it to swing across. About halfway to the
walkway, one of the mutant's runs toward me and jumps, I close my eyes and brace for impact. All of a
sudden, I open my eyes and the scenery changed, I'm no longer outside in a deserted wasteland, but
lying down, facing a beige wall.

fuck that was a weird dream

I get up, go to the bathroom then go back to my room, get on my computer chair and bring my legs in a
fetal position as I find it the most comfortable. After going through all the notifications on my phone and
all my email's, I take the 2-liter bottle of cola that i had filled with water the night before and drink my
fill, then take some tissue paper and blow my nose.

I need to figure out where all this dust is coming from, this is ridiculous.

my name is Jacob Beckerladder, I'm 22 ears old and mentally disabled, I live alone and I'm single.to be
perfectly honest I live a happy life, sure I could use some affection and I sometimes feel depressed, but
that's perfectly normal, in science class when I was younger, maybe 15 or so, my teacher told us that
men have something similar to PMS (premenstrual syndrome) in that once a month, our hormones go
out of balance and cause us to experience something similar to PMS (mood swings, etc.). I'm an inch
then the average man in my province but I'm severely underweight even though i eat quite a bit.

I don't remember most of my childhood, even my memories of when I was 12 are spotty, I'm missing
entire years from my mind, which is normal considering how much trauma I had endured as a child. But
to be perfectly honest I don't care, my childhood wasn't anything good or exciting, it was dull and quite
honestly painful. kidnapped, molested, my brain is anything BUT normal.

I look at my headphones and the urge to take a walk dawns upon me, so I get dressed, put on multiple
layers of clothing, put my boots on and leave.

I walk down the same road i do every day, its 6 in the afternoon, I went to bed at 8 earlier this morning.
It's getting dark outside and its cold.

fuck I hate the cold. I wish I could live somewhere where it was always warm.

I walk in front of one of the high school's in my town and see a few people walking towards the local
college. I keep going and eventually I near the lake I always enjoy walking around, its completely frozen,
a few ice rinks have been made here and there. I do enjoy ice skating, although I don't like having to put
my skates on in the cold. I decide to just keep going towards the central part of the city and come to an
intersection, there are cars on all 4 sides and a few people on my side as well as the opposite side of the
street. The walk light turns on and I start walking, absorbed in my music. Halfway across the street, I rise
up in the air suddenly, and immediately fall down. I try to get up to get off the street, but then my
consciousness stop's.

silence ensues for some time.

I hear someone talking.

my eyes Open, I'm inside a room, facing the roof.

wait what roof is this

I get up and immediately notice how small I am as well as the fact that the room is extremely bland, the
only thing's inside are two beds and a dresser, the walls are made of stone and the floor is made of
wood. The beds look cheap and the sheets feel like shit.

"where in the actual fuck am I, what the fuck happened and WHY AM I THIS SMALL?!"
 Knights of the 6

Page 3

a woman runs into the room, she looks scared, and then runs to me and takes me in her arms and hugs
me.

wh..what's going on, who is this and why is she hugging me????

am i dreaming or something??this doesn't feel right, if I was dreaming, I wouldn't have the ability to feel
the heat from her body, wait what the fuck, she's crying.

"uh...*clears throat*hi, um... who are you? Where am I? and why are you crying?"

the woman speaks, with tears running down her face and a wide smile.is this what tears of joy looks
like?

{I'm so glad you're finally awake, you've been sick for months and haven't woken up in 2 weeks, we
thought you were going to die}

u wot m8? (internet slang, has multiple meaning's)

"uh... what do you mean? who are you? are we related or something? why am I a child?"

the womans face, tears streaming down her slender face, her face no longer smiling, she looks like she's
panicking. what's going on?

{you...don't remember me? corvo, I'm your mother! how can you have forgotten me?}

tears stream down her face; I think she's grieving WAIT A MINUTE DID SHE JUST SAY SHE'S MY MOM??!!

my thoughts go to the last few seconds I can remember

wait, did I get hit by a fucking car? I did, didn't I. fuck man, wasn't expecting that.

wait, more importantly, doesn't this mean that reincarnation is a thing? I mean, I'm experiencing life
again, although I'm now a fucking kid. Great. Well, maybe she's a good person, maybe I can start a new
life, although.... looking at her clothing, I... I think I'm in the medieval times...shit, this went from yay to
nay real fucking quick.

"uh, I don’t remember anything to be perfectly honest, you say you're my mother and that my name is
corvo, do we live alone? where are we?"

she looks like she's thinking, she's still crying though.

{your father is out keeping us safe, we're home right now}

Page 4
 Knights of the 6

she wipes her tears and audibly breathes in from her nose

{how are you feeling sweetheart? I'm sorry you have to see me like this, I'm exhausted from all the
worrying, I'm glad you're finally awake, are you hungry?}

she's smiling at me, she gets up and sits behind me, putting my head on her chest and hugging me
tightly. is… is this what a mother's love is like? I...

I’m..., I'm crying. Why am I crying..?

this shouldn't be enough to make me cry, why am I crying?!

{why are you crying? are you hurt?}

"no... I just...I just..... I don't know...."

andd hereeee we go, i just burst into tears. wait, could it be because I'm in the body of a child?

oh no, that means my emotional maturity went down the fucking drain, shit.at least I kept my
intelligence and memories, those could maybe come in handy.

i spent about 5 minutes crying in her arms before calming down.

"um, mom, can I tell you something?"

maybe I should tell her, how am I going to tell her without making her think I'm no longer her son? It's
possible her son did die and that my consciousness transferred over.

{yes, you can tell me anything you want, I'm here for you.}

"I... I have memories I don't recognize, in them I'm an adult that lives alone, i remember dying when
crossing a street, i remember it came suddenly, do you think this is normal?"

yeah, that's it, that’s a good way to put it.

she looks intrigued.

{can you tell me about your memories? How did you die?}

huh, she's taking it better then I'd have thought.

"I don't understand most of the memories I'm seeing, before i died, I went to take a walk. I saw white
stuff everywhere, I remember it being really cold, there was a lake covered in white and people were
playing
 Knights of the 6

on the ice, they had swords on their shoes. I kept walking and came to a place with lots of boxes of
different colors shapes and sizes, people were inside them, I was waiting for my turn to cross and
halfway across i went flying into the air and fell back down and saw one of the boxes go towards me and
then.... nothing, I don't remember anything after that. Although i think i heard someone speaking"

{i see, so you're a reincarnation, it's okay, you're still my lovely son and i still love you with all my heart}

she looks at me with a smile, it's a nice smile, it's comforting.so i smile back at her and give her a hug

"thank you, you have no idea how much what you said means to me."

so apparently reincarnation is common knowledge then, she didn't shun me for it either, I wonder why
though, although i don't want to ask in case it backfires.

{are you hungry?}

"um, a bit, yeah."

{very well, come on}

chapter2: a new beginning

After having spent a few weeks adjusting to my new life, my new mom decided to give me all the
information i would need to live in this new world, she gave me geography lessons as well as cultural
lessons, she told me about so many things its honestly ridiculous, this isn't the medieval times, this is a
new world entirely, honestly this is awesome, I got isekai'ed, apparently there's magic in this world, I
asked mom if i could cast magic and she said that it should be possible as only a few races aren't capable
and those races are exclusively monster races, and this isn't a racist thing either, I asked her what races
and she said

{races like goblins, certain undead and insects.}

i asked her if she could teach me how to use magic, but she said that she can't as she wasn't able to
learn and that it would be pointless to try learning at her age, not to mention that we were poor.

{but if you truly want to learn magic, the only way i can think of in our situation, would be to send you
off to the capital to join the knights of the 6}

"knights of the 6? you mean the 6 gods you talked about the other day?"

{yes, the 6 gods,aikesh,arumita,bardul,baiduri,maikez and mikoza.the knights of the 6 are the ones
tasked with protecting the entire continent equally, not just the kingdom of bardul}

apparently, every country was named after one of the gods, apparently, it's to show which country
adores which god the most, also, apparently if two countries worship the same god they merge
together, its honestly a bit weird, I feel like this would cause issues.

{but i don't think it would be a good idea for you to go}

"why not?"

she looks away, I feel like she's forcing her smile.

{i just got you back...i.. i don't want to lose you again...}

ah i see, I understand why she doesn't want me to go. Plus, i don't exactly want to be in the army, I'd
rather just go learn magic myself and learn to use the sword myself.

"do you think there's anyone in town that could help me at least figure out how to use magic? or is
there anywhere i could find the knowledge?"

{well, there is your father, but I'm not sure if he's coming back...}
 Knights of the 6

Page 7

she took a pause, I think she believes he's dead, yikes.

{but there is another way, there's the local alchemist, apparently, he uses magic to help with making his
potions, he might agree to help you if you can help him in some meaningful way}

an alchemist huh? that's interesting

"okay, I'll go see him. Oh right, where does he live anyway?"

{behind Emma's house, green door. Stay safe, okay?}

"okay, I'll see you later mom"

Emma is the nice old lady that help's mom once a week, she's nice, I like her. She's always polite and
cheery, her pies are nice as well, although I'm not really a fan of cooked fruit.

okay, I'm here, wonder if he's home.

*knock knock*

{hm yes come in}

i go in and smile

"hi, my mom told me that you use magic to help you make potion's, I was wondering if there was
something i could do for you to make you give me a bit of your time to help me learn how to use magic."

the old man looks at me, curious.

{what do you know about alchemy?}

well, from video games, alchemy was the notion of taking plants and other ingredients, crushing them
and using certain processes to make potions with specific effects, it can make medicine, poison or even
potions to increase a person's abilities.

"well, I know that you need ingredient's like specific plants or certain monster parts and that you can
use them to make things like medicine and poison and potions to increase a person's abilities, I also
know that at the right dosage, poisons can make remedies and medicine. I know that some of the tools
are called mortar, pestle, alembic and a retort. thats about all i know"

the old man looks at me in surprise

{where did you learn this?}

"I have memories of a previous life, I learned of it there"

the man turns my way, putting down the vial in his hand.
 Knights of the 6

Page 8

{you're a reincarnation? Well, that is something i would not have guessed, you are quite the
knowledgeable person, how old are you in there?}

he was pointing at his head

"um, I was 22, i died in an accident"

{oh, i see, you do seem a lot sharper than a child your age should be, I will teach you magic, but in
return, I want you to tell me about the previous world you lived in, it's rare to be able to hear stories of
other world's first hand from the source.}

"oh, yeah I'm perfectly fine with that. When do we start?"

{right now, I'm making a potion a customer ordered, so it’ll be in a few hours, come by after you've
eaten supper, understood?}

"yes, uh, sir. sorry but can i ask your name? i feel awkward just calling you sir"

the old man laugh's

{heh, very well, my name is nazeel, what is your name?}

"my name is Corvo"

{corvo? hm, that's a good name, not common but a strong name, one of the heroes of old had that
name. Have you heard of his story?}

"no, i haven't, do you think you can tell me when we start my training?"

{of course, of course.}

"great, thank you, anyway, off i go, I'll speak to you soon."

i wonder what mom's gonna make today, ever since i gave her modern cooking knowledge the overall
taste has improved drastically. Oh hey, its Emma, smile and wave.

"hi miss Emma"

{hello Corvo, how are you today?}

"I'm doing great, thank you for asking. How about you, how are you?"

{oh, I'm doing well, although im a bit worried about my son, he's been gone a few hours now. He was
only supposed to leave for an hour to check on his traps.}

"oh seriously? that's not good, have you tried talking to one of his friends to see if they could see if they
could find him?"
 Knights of the 6

Page 9

{oh, i did but none of them are in town right now.}

None of them are in town? Seems fishy.

"well, that's not good, umm, I'll see if i can try and find him after I'm done training magic for the day."

{oh please, don’t do that, I don't want you to get hurt over my account...}

"it's okay, I don't plan on going in alone."

i mean, it's obviously a lie, I just don't want her getting in my way, I have a bad feeling about the
situation, I'm stubborn after all.

"anyway, I'll see you later miss Emma"

{okay, take care}

she's such a sweet old lady, I bet she's worried sick, I want to help her out. anyway, time to see what my
mom is making.

"hey mom"

i open the door and close it behind me.

{yes sweety?}

she's passing the broom; she's not cooking anything right now.

"what are we going to eat tonight?"

{I'm not sure right now, I'm running low on some thing's, mainly herb's and meat}

herb's and meat huh? let's look at the pantry, maybe i can figure something out.

hm, salt, lots of flour, some garlic, onions, potatoes, actually i could farm some potatoes in our
backyard, although i don't know if the land has enough nutrients. Ill check later.in any case, there's also
a bag of broccoli and a few other types of vegetables.

"mom is that flour bread flour?"

{hm? yes, it is, but we already have some bread.}

so that's bread flower, alright, time to see if i can do this.

"hey mom, I'm gonna make something."

 Knights of the 6

Page 10

she looks at me, one eye brow raised, the other lowered, her mouth seems neutral. I think she's
skeptical

{hmm, okay, just don't waste anything and don't use too much of anything.}

"okay"

alright, let's take some flour and some salt. glass of water, put a small amount of water on the flour, put
some salt on that and mix it.

okay, seems to be the right consistency.

"mom where's the rolling pin?"

she grab's the rolling pin and gives it to me.

i wonder how life is going in my old world, must be pretty shitty honestly, the world kept on getting
worse when i was alive. I wonder how my family took my death. I hope my family respected my wishes
and gave all my stuff to my little brother. Oh well, no point in worrying about it, nothing i can do will
change anything, I have to move on.

okay, it seems to be done, let's put a bit more flour.

"mom, can you pass me a knife?"

{what on earth are you making? huff, okay, here}

alright, time to cut this into strands.

as i cut the strands, i notice mom going into the other room and close the door.

is she okay? she looked like she was sad. Ill finish cutting and ill eavesdrop.

done, okay, let's see.

( {sob..sob....mavino...})

oh, shit. mavino is my dad's name, that means..wait, did he end up dying?

i don't know what to do about this. Let's just finish making supper, I'll try to comfort her.

okay, let's start cooking the pasta.

and done.it took about an hour, let's make some stuff to go with it.

broccoli, carrot, vegetable stock.

 Knights of the 6

Page 11

i notice the door open and mom comes out with a smile on her face. I smile back.

"it's almost done ,i just have to finish boiling the vegetables. the broth could be used as soup."

she looks at what I've made.

{what is this?}

"noodles, do these not exist here?"

{no, they don't.}

huh, well then.

i take a carrot out of the water and check to see if its ready.

its soft, great.

i take the noodles and put them in the broth alongside the vegetables and then i take out two bowls and
fill them.

"here, take this."

she looks at it and sits down with me at the table. I start eating and notice her looking at me.

"are you going to eat?"

{oh... uh... yes}

she's looking at me, imitating the way I'm eating. Her eyebrows rise up and she lets out a sound.

{oh, this is good. You'll have to teach me how to make this.}

"sure, I don't mind at all. Just don't go telling other people how to make it."

after eating and doing the dishes, I leave to go see Nazeel.

"hi mister nazeel"

he looks my way and smiles

{ahh, hello young corvo. here for your lessons?}

"yeah, i am"
 Knights of the 6

Page 12

i sit down at the table in the corner, nazeel sits down shortly after.

{the first step to using magic is finding your epicenter, this is where your magical power resides. Any
damage done to your epicenter is permanent, although doing so without killing the person is
impossible.to find your epicenter, concentrate and look deep inside yourself.it should be near your
heart.}

i close my eyes and concentrate, I'm not sure how to do this or what to expect, but there's no point in
worrying about it.

in my mind, i start seeing shapes, no, lines. as i concentrate more on those lines, they become clearer, it
looks like a root system. I start looking for where my heart would be and then i see a big ball of
darkness.

"i see something, it's a big black ball, its near my heart"

{a big black ball?}

he goes silent for a few seconds.

{very well, you'll need to incite it to go to your hand's. Simply tell it to go to your hands by using your
thoughts}

okay, let's see. hey, black ball, can you go to my right hand please?

{oh, this is unbelievable!!!}

huh?

i open my eyes and see nazeel gawking at my right hand, so i look at it.

"huh oh OH MY GOD MY HAND'S ON FIRE"

pain, unbelievable pain. This is the most pain I've ever felt. almost immediately the black fire stops, my
hand is charred. nazeel looks at my hand and then shakes his head and puts his hand on mine, a
beautiful blue light goes around my hand and numbs the pain, a few seconds later my hand is healed.

{this is the first time I've witnessed dark magic. it's a rare gift, its only recorded appearance was 900
years ago during the invasion of the raneth.one of the knights from the order of the knights of the 6 had
this power, it's estimated that those with dark magic have unique abilities that far surpass those with
normal magic. I don't think i can teach you anything, I know too little about dark magic to train you. I'm
truly sorry. The only place you'll be able to learn is either with the knight order or with the mage's guild.}

"i... i see...well, thank you for helping me learn how to use magic, this was useful nonetheless."
 Knights of the 6

Page 13

i guess I'll have to learn everything by myself.

i wonder if i could learn healing magic.

oh right, I need to find Emma's son. I remember where he usually goes when he checks his traps, I'll go
look.

okay, this is where he usually goes in. lets go.

i walk and walk, staying silent as i go. After a while i come up on a shed. I go up to it and listen.

i can hear someone breathing weakly. This isn't normal breathing.

i open the door slightly and look inside.

...

oh god...how is he still alive...

blood is dripping off of him, gashes everywhere, missing his lower jaw, missing fingers, missing eye, leg
twisted in an unnatural way. This... this is Emma's son.

there's no way he's going to live much longer, I have to get help. I turn around and see three men. It's
his friends, they all look at me, then look at each other.

shit, so i was right. well, time to run. I start running towards the village, going between tree's, trying to
stay as fast as possible while forcing them to take detours to give myself some time. i come to one of the
many trails I've used when tagging along and run towards the village, its a 200 meter stretch before
being able to be seen by the villagers.

i stop breathing as I'm swept off the ground and thrown into a tree.

as i try to get up, a boot comes up and hits me in the face, sending me flying backwards. I land on my
back and raise my head to see one of the three men. shit he predicted what i was going to do. he goes
to his belt and unsheathes a knife.

oh shit, he's going to kill me. fuck it, nazeel will heal me, i need to keep running, otherwise I'll die.

i throw my right hand forward and think of a stream of black fire gushing out of my hand onto the man.

just as i pictured, black fire gushed out of my hand, causing enormous pain to me but completely
engulfing the man in black flames, disintegrating his torso in mere seconds.

TIME TO GO.
 Knights of the 6

Page 14

i run towards the village, right hand still on fire, I break the cover of tree's and head towards the small
puddle of water 50 feet in front of me.as i extinguish the flames on my hand, the pain started getting
numb. I start running towards the village guards.

"HEL...HELPP!"

the guards look at me, alarmed.

they run towards me

{what is it? your hand is burned, what happened?}

"miss Emma's son, he...his friends killed him and they saw me, they wanted to kill me so i ran, but one of
them caught up to me and was about to kill me so i used magic to protect myself. Miss Emma, her son is
in the shed in the forest, he's all strung up and bloodied, he's missing an arm and half of his face is
gone."

{okay, garmund, bring him to the alchemist, he can use healing magic, BARMID, ZAKERA! WITH ME}

the guard, garmund, picks me up and runs towards nazeel's house and barges in.

nazeel looks at me and starts panicking

{oh, dear lord, what happened?}

the guard tells him what i told the guards while nazeel heals my hand.

{i see, I'm glad you're safe. Are you hurt anywhere else? I'm not at the point where i can look for internal
injuries.}

"he kicked me in the face once and threw me onto a tree"

{very well, I'll see what i can do.}

a few minutes pass, and mom comes barging in, tears in her eyes.

{CORVO! CORVO!}

i run towards her and jump in her arms

{are you okay??? you're not hurt, are you?? oh corvo, i heard what happened, I'm so sorry you had to
live through that. but don’t ever leave the village without telling me, are we clear?}

"yes, crystal clear."

nazeel looks at me.

{tell me, when you used your flames, did you picture what you wanted to happen or did you do it by
instinct?}

i look at nazeel.

"i pictured what i wanted to happen, i didn't want anything to go wrong."

 Knights of the 6

Page 15

{i see, you learn a lot faster than most magic users, you have potential.}

my mom looks at me, wide eyes.

{you can use magic now?}

"yeah, not much but thanks to nazeel i figured out how to use it. i figured out the rest myself."

that night, as i lay in bed, I heard knocking on the door, mom went to answer and then, out of nowhere,
I heard her gurgle, then i heard a muffled thump.

no....this... this can't be true....

i get up and open the door.

the two guards that followed the guard that gave orders and the two murderers were inside, they all
immediately see me and they all smile.

mom......

"mom..."

i start crying

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY MOM"

my body immediately covers itself in black flames, I point both hands to the animals that killed my
mother and unleash black flames on their bodies, immediately incinerating them.

i stay there for a few seconds, enough to put my flames away, and then run towards my mom's body.

"MOM! MOM!"

she's...

i start crying, our house on fire. I drag her corpse out of the house and call for help, no one comes. I go
from house to house, looking for people, but everyone... everyone was killed...

i go to nazeel's house to see if he's still alive. I pound on his door.

"NAZEEL! EVERYONE IS DEAD! PLEASE HELP ME"

i hear walking and the door open's, nazeel is in the doorway and looks at me, confused.
 Knights of the 6

Page 16

{what do you mean everyone is dead}

he looks at my house, engulfed in flames.

{what happened? why is your house on fire?}

i tear up.

"the murderers and two of the guards...they... they killed everyone in the village, they killed my mom" i
start crying even harder.

he looks at me, and then crouches down. he gives me a hug and takes me in his arms.

{i see...we'll inform the neighboring town in the morning; I'm guessing you've already killed the culprits
judging by the blisters all over your body?}

"yes...."

this night...this night will be stuck in my memories until the day i die...

chapter 3: grief

The morning after the entire village was murdered, Nazeel helped me bury mom. i never thought this
would have happened, I'm still hoping that i'll wake up and realize it was just a dream. once she was
buried, i gave a prayer, in my previous life, i was an atheist, i didn't believe in the existence of gods. but
in this world, apparently gods actually exist. I want to blame them for not protecting her, but...it's not
the gods that are at fault...I'm the one at fault... if i didn't involve myself with Emma's son then maybe....
Maybe my mom would still be alive...once i was done praying, nazeel used magic to create a large hole
and put all the bodies to rest, giving a short prayer each time, a body was covered with dirt.

once everything was set, we left for the city of krosstoen. It wasn't a very long walk, a few hours at
most. Once we arrived, we went to the guards. Nazeel went up to the guard.

{good morning sir, we come from the city of beaverwood bearing terrible news. our entire village was
murdered by the former guard and two of the villagers, we were the only survivors}

the guard looks at him, I think he's shocked.

{i... i see...Bernard, get the captain.}

one of the guards left and went inside a nearby building connected to the wall. I think it's a guard house.

a few seconds later, the same guard and another guard came out, the new guard was wearing the same
armor as the other's but was wielding a battle-axe had a beard and black hair, he had blue eyes and
looked to be about 35.

{so, what's this about}

he sounds worried.

nazeel told him the gist of the story and the captain stood still, his hand touching his chin.

{i see, this is indeed terrible news, are the bodies still laying around?}

"we buried them"

the captain looks at me, he looks sad.

{and what's your story?}

 Knights of the 6

Page 18

i look down

"i...i lost my mom...everything."

i look back up, tears in my eyes.

{i see, I'm sorry you had to live through that. What about the culprits?}

the captain was looking at nazeel

{this child killed them in self-defense using his magic, when he came to me his house was on fire and he
had blisters all over his body. All of them were disintegrated}

the captain looks at me, eyes wide open

{this child can use magic so powerful it disintegrated grown men?}

nazeel sighed.

{indeed. He has the most potent magic I've ever seen in any mage.}

the captain sighs and looks past us with his hand on his chin, I think he's thinking about what to do with
us.

{very well, I'll grant you passage, I'd suggest both of you to figure out what to do now that your village
has been decimated.}

with that we entered the city, we went to a nearby inn and sat down.

{what do you wish to do, corvo?}

i look at him for a second and then look at the inn keeper.

what do i want to do?

at first i wanted to learn magic and swordsmanship, but now...i... I'm not sure...maybe i should just join
the knight's order...I'll be fed and trained, maybe even paid.

"i..i think I'll join the order of the knights of the 6, i'll be fed, trained and maybe even paid."

{that's an option, honestly i think it's the best option for you, you are still only a child, having to worry
about food and shelter would be too much, even if you're a reincarnation.}

with that, we ate and went to the capital. It took a total of 8 days of walking to reach the capital,
stawford.

once we arrived, we went to a big building with drapery displaying six swords and a shield.

{this is it, young corvo. once you enter, I will be leaving and returning to beaverwood}
 Knights of the 6

Page 19

"ah..."

i look at nazeel

"thank you nazeel,i hope we meet again, you've been kind to me"

nazeel smiles and pats me on the head.

{good luck}

with that, I went inside.

this building seemed big outside, but it's so open that it just seems huge inside, not to mention
everything looks incredibly fancy.

a woman, probably in her fifties, was behind a desk.

{excuse me, can i help you?}

"uh, yes, my entire village was slaughtered and i have no one left, id like to join the order, I can use dark
magic."

she stopped smiling, I think she's surprised.

{you... can use dark magic? what is your name?}

"yes, I can, my name is corvo of beaverwood."

{how old are you, corvo?}

"I'm 6 years old"

{i see, are you sure you want to join the knight order? Usually, parents are the ones to conscript their
children}

"yes, I'm sure, as for my parents.... both of them are dead. My mother was murdered and my father died
in the line of duty a few months ago..."

{i see, im sorry for your loss, very well, take the stairs to the right and enter the second room to the
right.}

"thank you"

man, these stairs are nice, I think they're made of marble

okay, this is the room. i open the door and look inside.

it's a small-ish room, there's nothing inside.

"uh, this is weird, is this the right room?"

 Knights of the 6

Page 20

i feel a hand touch my shoulder, I look up and see a man, clad in armor.

{so, you must the corvo}

"y..yes"

{come in.}

i enter the room with him, he goes to the middle of the room.

{i was told you can wield dark magic. Show me.}

"oh, sure, but first, can you use healing magic? i only just recently started using magic so my hands still
aren't used to using it."

{yes, all knights can use healing magic.}

thank god

okay, let's see, how about i summon a ball of flame in the palm of my hand, i just have to visualize it.

i push the magic out and open my eyes. The knight looked at my palm, impressed.

{how does it feel?}

"painful, although its less painful then the first time i tried."

i make the flame disappear and the knight kneeled down and healed my hand.

{dark magic is incredibly rare; we would be honored to have you join our ranks.I'm sorry for what
happened to your parents. Truly}

the knight stood up.

{i am the knight engeramus of bardul. i will be your mentor until the day you graduate and become a
knight. now, follow me}

engeramus starts walking towards the door and i follow him. We walk from corridor to corridor and
eventually enter a room.

{this is where you'll be sleeping, try to get along with the others. You'll be taking the bed at the far
right.}

after that, he brought me to the bath's, the cafeteria and eventually we went to my classroom. A class
was in session and when the other students saw me, they all started staring at me.

{this is where you'll be learning how to control your magic. Please behave.}

"thank you sir engeramus" i bow my head slightly.

 Knights of the 6

Page 21

engeramus leaves the room. What i assume to be a teacher then looks at me, I think he's disgusted,
probably because im a commoner. I stay silent and look at the other students' all seem to think the
same thing. great, guess I'm gonna get bullied.

the teacher finally speaks up.

{take the seat at the far end of the class.}

i look around and find it, this dude really doesn't like me, its a good 10 feet away from everyone.

after a few hours

{alright, this concludes the lesson for today, you may go to the cafeteria to eat.}

he looks at me

{but you, you shall stay here.}

then he leaves the classroom

"what...what just happened???"

did this guy just abandon me in the classroom????

20 minutes pass and no one returned.

jesus christ and here i thought that id learn something other than "commoner bad ehehehehehehe"

i wonder if i could figure out how to use healing magic...

if the process of using a spell just came from how you visualized it, then i could use healing magic right
off the bat, but it has to be more complex than that, otherwise more people would know healing magic,
right? maybe i have to temper the magicka that flows through my body, something like a nozzle that
controls the flow. but how do i do that?

"well, I have time, might as well see if i can control the amount of magic that flows."

as i concentrate like i did the other day, I start seeing the lines again, this time they are thicker and seem
to radiate darkness.

i go to the big orb near my heart and notice that it now looks like a blackhole but inversed, instead of
sucking in, it pushes out.

okay, let's see... nazeel told me to instruct the orb to allow my magic to go to my arms, but what about
limiting the amount of magic that flows? would i need to tell the orb or would i need to tell the lines?
Maybe i should call the lines "veins" as that would be an accurate description of what they are. Let's
start with the veins, i guess.

i look at the veins touching the orb and direct my thoughts to them
 Knights of the 6

Page 22

hey magic veins, I need you to constrict to reduce the amount of mana that gets outputted to my two
arms.

as i said those words i could visibly see the magic veins constrict and felt the inner flow of magic slow
down.

okay, that worked, now to see if i can use healing magic.

hey magic veins, stop reducing power to my left arm.

it obeyed.

alright, let's see.

i visualize fire coating my left hand and immediately after my hand starts burning. I put out the flames
and concentrated on my right hand, visualizing it healing my hand and put it near my left hand. my left
hand was then engulfed in darkness and a moment later, my hand was back to normal and the pain
stopped.

"ha.ha haha! i did it! i figured out how to use healing magic!!" as i said so, the teacher entered the room
and looked at me.

{what are you ranting about?}

he said this in a clearly cold voice.

"oh, uh,i just figured out how to use healing magic on my own."

he scoffed.

{a child such as you, from the middle of nowhere, suddenly manages to use healing magic? i think not,
stop lying.}

so i was right, he's one of THOSE people. alright, challenge accepted.

i light my entire left arm in black flames and turn my arm into charred meat, then remove the flames.
the teacher looks at me, he's visibly shocked. Then i imagine the same healing spell and heal my left
arm.

silence.

{how... how is this possible? WHY DOES A COMMONER LIKE YOU HAVE DARK MAGIC??!}

welll, he's obviously pissed.

"yeah, I'm not answering that"

 Knights of the 6

Page 23

he looked at me, he looks like he's going to explode, holy shit. he speed walked towards me and
smacked me across the face, sending me flying off the chair.

{HOW DARE YOU! YOU WRETCHED COMMONER}

{ahem}

someone came inside the classroom just as he smacked me.

it was engeramus.

i think he's pissed that i was treated this way.

{Godafre, what is the meaning of this?}

godafre? that's his name?

{i.. this wretched child dared to insult me, i was merely.}

he was cut short by engeramus.

{i dont want to hear your bullshit, godafre. you broke the order's code. Follow me, corvo.}

fine by me, serves you right.

{have you eaten yet?}

"no i haven't, godafre told me to stay in class and left with the others."

he looked at me, he's obviously angry.

{follow me, I'll get you something to eat.}

"thank you, sir."

once we got to the cafeteria, my mentor brought me some food and sat with me while i ate.

"oh, by the way sir engeramus,i figured out how to use healing magic when i was in the classroom
alone."

he looked at me,i think he's impressed.

{wow, that's impressive, most people only figure it out when they get to advanced stages of learning.}

oh, i was right. Then that was the reason why godafre reacted like that. He was probably jealous.

he looked at me for a bit

{try moving this without touching it}

he was gesturing to a cup in his hand. He wants me to use telekinesis.

okay, constrict my right hand, visualize an invisible hand made of magic...

 Knights of the 6

Page 24

i move my hand and visualized the invisible hand grabbing the cup.

i moved my arm and as my arm moved so did the cup.

this is easier then i would've thought.

i look at engeramus, and his eyes are wide, he's surprised.

{this is something beginner's take weeks to figure out, yet you immediately figure it out? this is
incredible....}

he goes silent for a few minutes.

i keep eating, I'm not a fan of the main course but the beef soup is good, regardless, I'm hungry.

{i just got permission from the knight order's commander to judge your magical capabilities. Once you
finish eating i'll bring you to have you evaluated.}

huh, ok. i nod.

well, I'm done eating now.

"I'm done eating, where do i put this stuff?"

{leave it, the servants are the ones that take care of that}

"oh okay"

i guess that makes sense.

we leave and go towards the building's rear, eventually stopping in a large room. the room has no door,
in the middle of the room is a white pedestal with an orb that changes colors all the time, it makes me
think of the RGB lightbulbs i had installed in my room back on earth. around the room's edges are seats
and end tables. some plants are scattered here and there. It's a nice-looking room.

{touch the orb}

i go to the orb with engeramus right beside me.

"here we go"

when i touch the orb, the light becomes much brighter and a transparent wall appears about 5 feet from
the orb, there's writing on it, the letters are black and have somewhat of a glow.

{let's see... dark magic...} he stop's talking, he opens his mouth wide and his eyebrows are lowered, I
look at the wall.
 Knights of the 6

Page 25

the wall says my name, age, race, magicka, magicka regeneration, magic affinity, magic type, passive
effects (the only one that's written is "quick learn" as well as abilities (the only one there is soul
absorption). wait, it says soul absorption, what is that?

{do you know, what soul absorption is?}

he said this in a low tone, without looking at me.

"uh, I'm not sure, i can guess but this is the first time i look at this."

he still isn't looking at me.

{how many people have you killed}

Huh? Well, let’s see, there was the guy in the woods, the two guards and the two remaining murderers,
so that would be 5 people.

"about a week ago, my entire village was murdered by the former guard and two of the villagers, my
mother was the last one to be murdered by them...when i saw them kill her, i.."

i can't believe she died...why...i loved her.....

tears are running down my face

"i.. i killed 5 men..."

i look up at his face, tears in my eyes.

he finally looks at me.

{i see, i wasn't aware of that... how did you feel when you killed them?}

what did i feel when i killed them?

"i... don't know..i felt grief but not for them..."

i pause

"right now, I'm angry at them."

{ i understand. regardless, we'll need to investigate your ability. But regarding the rest of your stats, your
total magicka is slightly above average, how long have you used magic for?}

"the day before my mother was killed"

{i... i see....}

he pauses
 Knights of the 6

Page 26

{your magicka regeneration rate is incredible... it's not even near the highest anyone in the order's
history managed to attain...this...this is ridiculous....}

"how do you increase total magicka?"

{by using your magic as often as possible, it’s like a muscle, the more you use it the bigger it gets.}

"how do you increase your magicka recovery rate?"

{you dont. the one you get at birth is the one you get for the rest of your life. But..}

he pauses

{with your ability,its possible that your magicka regeneration was increased when you killed those
men...}

huh, i guess that's cool.

"i see..."

{as for how you were able to learn healing magic so quickly, I'm guessing it's because of your quick learn
effect.}

he sighs.

{okay, let’s go, i need to make a report.}

we go to the lobby and go down the stairs and go through a large wooden door. we eventually get to
another large door.my mentor knocks.

the door opens.

{come in}

we sit at the chairs in front of a desk, a knight with encrusted armor sitting on the other side.

{so, Is this about your youngling?}

{yes, we went to the orb}

he takes a paper out of his satchel and gives it to the knight.

he looks at it, then makes a frown, then looks at me.

{i see.}

he gets up and puts the paper on his desk.

{young one, come here and put your hand on this cube.}
 Knights of the 6

Page 27

it's just a metal cube.

i get up and put my hand on the cube.

nothing seems to be happening.

{i see...you may sit back down}

i sit down at the chair i was on previously.

{it seems that you possess a unique ability that allows you to absorb the souls of enemies that are
stronger than you, allowing you to increase your abilities. Looking at your history, your strength and
magicka regeneration was increased, but your strength was only marginally increased.my guess is
because you haven't had to use your muscles much.it could also be how you kill your enemy. how did
you kill your enemies?}

"um, the first one i killed had gotten physical with me but i didn't use physical attacks, i killed him with
magic, the rest were all killed with magic, also i had ran from them originally, so that might be it"

{ah, yes that would make sense.it seems you have a very interesting ability, not to mention the fact that
you possess dark magic. engeramus, teach him swordsmanship, teaching him magic isnt important, i
have the feeling he'll learn everything himself gradually.}

{understood, grandmaster.}

wait this dude’s the grandmaster? well, didnt expect that.

we leave the room and go towards the middle of the building, eventually coming to what looks like a
training area. Engeramus grabs two wooden swords and passes me one.

its long enough that i can put 2 hands on the hilt.

i take a stance that I've seen in both video games, movies and online videos.

he looks at me, smiles, and takes a similar stance.

{you seem to know a bit, where did you learn this stance?}

"I'm a reincarnation, believe it or not."

{oh, i see, so its previous knowledge.}

"i know basic swordsmanship theory, but I've never actually used a sword."

{i see, then come at me, I'll simply block and tell you what to improve}

"okay"
 Knights of the 6

Page 28

i move two steps forward, keeping the same stance, go for a stab attack, engeramus moves to the side, i
then turn on myself, bringing my sword up behind my head in a sweeping motion and then lower myself
slightly and sweep the sword towards his throat. i had originally seen this type of move from a movie i
saw, Star Wars to be specific. Engeramus wasn't expecting this and jumped back.

I'm fairly sure i wasn't capable of this in my previous life, am i no longer mentally disabled?i quickly
move towards him, sword raised in both hands, try hitting him from the top, he deflects it, sending my
sword back, I try using the momentum to hit him on the side, he goes to intercept, so i turn that attack
into a feint and stab him instead of hitting his side, he moves to the side but it grazes him.

{enough.}

he starts laughing.

{i was not expecting such swordsmanship, you have talent seeing this is the first time you've ever picked
up a sword. i didn't expect anything you did. I severely underestimated you, you were able to use
strategy, momentum and feints to try and hit me, you have potential. alright, i want to see how you
block attacks, I won't go hard on you as you don't have much physical strength.}

"okay"

i get in the stance i previously took.

"ready"

he brings his sword to his left shoulder and sweeps his sword from left to right, i bring my sword to my
bottom right and sweep it at an angle to my top left, hitting his sword. he then brings his sword to his
bottom right and starts sweeping, so i bring mine to my top left at an angle and sweep, hitting his sword,
he starts moving his left hand, he's trying to backhand me! i step back and sweep my sword in his hand's
direction, missing his backhand. He then moves in my direction and starts sweeping his sword faster and
faster, I'm starting to have issues keeping up. If i don't go on the offensive ill just get overwhelmed!!!

he moves forward another step, so i move forward, he sweeps from his top right so i move my sword
from my top right, to my bottom right then up to my top left, hitting his sword, then use the momentum
to turn around, remove the grip on my left hand and hit him on the neck.

he brings his hand to his throat and starts coughing after a few seconds of not breathing.

{i wasn't expecting that} he starts laughing, tears in his eyes.

{your impressive, considering its a technique I've never seen anyone fight with before. you seem to have
issues with your footwork though, mainly getting your feet to lineup with the attacks you want to do,
but you’ll get used to it and ill help you correct that.}

I'm happy "thanks, I'll try to improve on that."

 Knights of the 6

Chapter 4:Acceptance

{....}

"hmmm..."

{corvo, wake up.}

"huh?"

oh, it’s morning

"oh, good morning sir"

I'm tired, i want to sleep more.

{how are you feeling? you were pretty lucky yesterday, you could've died.}

oh, that’s right, one of the other students failed a spell and it backfired...

"is everyone else okay?"

he sighs

{the one who cast the spell and the one on the other side of him died, I'm not sure how you managed to
live through that...}

oh, that’s right i never told him about my resistance skills.

"oh... i forgot to tell you about my resistance skills, I managed to get my passive magic resistance skill to
about 30%, my active magic resistance skill is at about 60%"

about a year after i had joined the order i had managed to figure out how to make passive effects, at
first it was things like strengthening or night vision, but after another year, i had managed to figure out
how to use resistance effects, there's two types of resistance skills, the one that's in the form of a
passive effect that simply requires a person to cast it once and acts as a permanent effect, only using
magic once. Theres also the active resistance skill, which as you might expect, you need to activate it
manually, it also consumes magicka to upkeep. because passive effects are always weaker than skills,
increasing your proficiency with passive effect's increases the effectiveness of your active effect's. At
first, the passive skill only gave me 3% resistance, but because i trained my magic every day i managed
to increase the mere 3% to about 30%.the reason i say "about" 30 is because i dont have access to the
tools to measure it, plus i don't exactly want to be a guinea pig...
 Knights of the 6

Page 30

sir engeramus looks at me, he's surprised I've known him long enough that i recognize what facial
pattern to associate to each emotion.

{you have resistance skills? since when?}

"um, my second year in the order. I'm sorry i didn't bring that up sooner, I've been training it and trying
to get it to 100% resistance."

his eyes are wide open

{since your second year??! it's been 2 years since you've discovered how to use resistance magic??what
else have you forgotten to tell me?}

"oh, uh, let's see...besides the resistance skill, there's the spell i call sever, it prevents a person from
casting by temporarily severing the magic veins from the person's soul..."

he interrupts me

{WAIT, YOU CAN SEVER A PERSON'S SOUL??}

uh

"uh..yeah, is it that surprising considering i can absorb soul's?"

he calms down,head tilted

{well..yes, but...still, no one else is capable of doing anything like this...}

right, ultra-rare type of magic.

"well, what else, uhhh, oh right i figured out how to use my magic to create items, the only material I'm
able to use is...a bit weird, I'm able to make a lot of things with it, like swords and armor, I've gotten
pretty good at using it, but it’s not metal, its...i’m not sure how to describe it, it just looks like it absorbs
light completely, it doesn't feel hard or heavy, It’s properties are just weird."

I'm honestly just not sure how to describe it, so I'll just show it to him.

dark sword.

in my right hand is a longsword, its completely black, it doesn't shine, there isn't any texture, the entire
thing is not only made of the same material, it looks like it's just one piece. touching it just feels like
you're touching something that's otherworldly, it’s not smooth, it’s not rough, it just doesn't have a
texture even though it's a solid object. Trying to bend the sword does nothing, it doesn't bend, hitting it
does nothing either, no matter how hard you hit it, it won't make a sound. The edge of the blade is
unnaturally sharp, calling it razor sharp is an understatement, it's like the sharpness comes from its
magical properties and not the actual edge itself.
 Knights of the 6

Page 31

i pass it to him.

he handles the sword, touches the edge and accidentally cuts himself.

{OW!! SHHHHHH....FUCK THAT HURT}

"oh, i should have told you that the edge probably has some sort of magical effect. just touching it cuts
you. i have no clue why it does that, i don’t control the sharpness."

he looks at me, visible awe on his face.

"anyway, ill heal myself real quick and then we can go train. I still have a good amount of work to do."

i cast a healing spell on myself and almost immediately after I'm on my feet getting dressed. It's now
been 4 years since I've joined the order, only one more year before i go from being a simple student to a
squire, at which point I'll be given a new uniform and sent to different kingdoms to see what each
kingdom has to offer.

{ready?}

"uh, i think i have everything. yes, I'm ready."

we leave the infirmary and head to the stables.

we saddle our horses and leave the courtyard, starting our patrol.

"may i speak freely?"

{of course.}

how should i ask this question?

"um... what happens when a squire dies, what's the proceeding's?"

he glances at me, looks back in front, tilts his head for a few seconds.

{well, when a squire dies the procedures depend. Its case to case. Social status is irrelevant in the order
when it comes to rank and privileges, but in the case of funeral's, if the family is of noble descent and
wishes for a funeral of their choosing, then something can be arranged, but only if that person has acted
in a way that was truly selfless or heroic. but in general, the funerals are similar, except in the case of
traitors, the most they get is being cremated.in the case of the students that passed yesterday, they'll
get a normal funeral consisting of close family and friends as well as their mentor, other than that it's a
standard military funeral}

"oh, i see. thanks for that."

i didn't necessarily like them, but they weren't bad people either, just different values.

a few minutes pass by, we near the front gate.

 Knights of the 6

Page 32

"do you have any stories of the raneth?"

{the raneth?} he quickly glances at me

{let's see. There's the stuff you already knew from the order's history lessons, but i know you were really
interested in that part of the lesson so I'll gladly give you more information. Let's see, the order was
founded during the first raneth invasion 900 years ago when the continent was having difficulties
cooperating with each other to face the threat of imminent death, so during one of the war conferences
held by the leaders of the time, the divine immortal elous, follower of arumita descended and ordered
the creation of an order of knight's whose only purpose is fighting threat's to mankind with no ties to
any government.in essence, making those knight's citizens of every nation made it so they had the duty
to protect every nation, regardless of anything. The raneth were, as you saw in the history lesson,
humanoid insects that used their claws as well as crude spears and dragons, some of them were capable
of using magic much more powerful than any human at the time could wield.by the time the knight's
order had enough troops, there were millions of casualties, both civilian and military. Once there were
enough troops ,elous granted those troops enormous power and weapons, even so, they still had a very
hard time fighting them, mostly because the raneth had a carapace harder than steel covering their
entire bodies. The only way to kill them was to either shoot arrows in their eyes and throw them in pits
to drown them with water magic, use wind magic to throw them in ocean's, lakes and rivers, or cut their
appendages off from the small gaps in their carapace due to their joints, letting them bleed out. This
isn't even mentioning the enemy leader, akuretu, from what little information we have on him, he's a
sentient being with vast intelligence, he single handedly wiped out 30 thousand knights, even the hero
corvo of mingota, the one who could use the same type of magic as you, had a hard time with him,
although he was powerful enough to not die...}

he keeps talking, when i notice a person on a horse riding our way. He's wearing our uniform. He's
waving at us.

"hey, sorry to interrupt sir, but one of our own is waving at us over there, i think he wants to speak with
you."

{uh? oh, i see.}

we go see the man.

{OH, SIR ENGERAMUS! DEMONS FROM THE FORBIDDEN COUNTRY HAVE APPEARED IN THE FOREST!!}

demons from the forbidden country?

{demons in the forest? I see, show me.}

{but sir, we need to make a report to the castle...}

engeramus interrupts him

{we'll do the report once i see for myself, I'll have my squire teleport you straight to the castle.}
 Knights of the 6

Page 33

{i see, okay.}

we go full speed towards the forest and eventually start slowing down and come upon a group of 10
people all wearing cloaks.

is this what they call a demon? This is pretty underwhelming honestly...

sir engeramus approaches them while i stay on standby with the other knight.

the knight looks scared, he's pale and his eyes are wide open.

{hello, I am the knight engeramus, may i ask all of you to identify yourselves.}

the group stops and exchange looks, one of them approaches engeramus and removes his cowl.

oh, it’s a woman, she's quite attractive, although she's extremly pale, not scared or sick type of pale, I'm
talking about skin that's just white with no pigmentation, she looks like an elf, but she seems to have
normal ears.

{hello, sir knight, we are the vahle,i am queen nahal, we have come to request an audience with the
king.}

wait, the vahle? those are the elven/fae hybrid race that live in the forbidden country with the demons.
also, she's the queen of the vahle? this is a bit odd.

{i see, very well, though i ask that you refrain from doing any sudden actions once outside the forest
your majesty.}

{of course, it’s only natural}

{however, I will need to make sure none of you are demons, please have your companions remove their
cowls.}

{very well.}

she turns around and starts talking in another language. Wait a minute, I know this language...

WAIT! THEY'RE SPEAKING IN FRENCH??!!

i was NOT expecting that.

they removed their cowls and engeramus nodded.

{very well, follow us.}

i get off my horse and come up to sir engeramus

 Knights of the 6

"sir engeramus, how about i just teleport us to the castle to prevent any friction between them and the
citizens?"

he looks at me

{i completely forgot about that possibility, very well.} he turns around and opens his mouth

"approchez,je vais nous transporter au chateau."(this translates to "come closer, ill transport us to the
castle")

every single person there immediately turns towards me, eyes wide open.

(engeramus) {wh... what...? since when do you speak vahle?}

I'm fairly certain everyone else has that question in mind as well.

"it's a language i had learned in my previous life.as a matter of fact it was the first language i had
managed to learn."

the vahle look at me, they look stunned. the queen approaches me.

{may i hold your hand?}

uh...

"uh, of course" i say this as i look towards engeramus.

she takes my hand in her own and her expression changes to one i can only describe as pure shock. she
then drops my hand.

{this...are you a reincarnation of corvo of mingota? you have to be...}

i mean, it's a possibility seeing as i have the same name and power...

"well, it’s a possibility, but i don't know. the only memories of a past life i have are that of another
world."

she seems to calm down a bit.

{i..i see, i apologize for my behavior.}

i smile

"it's okay, in my situation its perfectly normal to react this way."

in any case

"okay, everyone come near me."

alright, everyone is near. i see the stable besides the king's castle, i put my will to teleport all of us there.

i open my eyes and the scenery changed to the castle stables. we give the horses to the stable boy's and
head to the throne room. inside,the king is discussing with some other politicians.

engeramus speaks up.

{your majesty, the queen of the vahle has come to speak with you.] he says this while he brings his right
hand over his chest, In a fist.}

the room goes silent.

{i see... very well.}

he gestures to the politicians to leave.

{welcome, queen of the vahle. i hope the journey wasn't too arduous?}

the queen approaches him.

{not at all,we are used to hardships. today i came because you are known to be the wisest of kings, we'd
like to ask for your support in helping us rejoin society, it has been over 500 years that we've been
isolated from the rest of the world.}

{i see, that can be arranged.as i understand, the forbidden country is inhospitable, correct?}

{yes, your highness. but we do not wish to leave. we simply wish to do trade with other countries. and
as such, we would like to offer you a gift.}

the moment she said gift, all the guards tensed up, including me and engeramus, who put his hand on
the hilt of his sword.

but she didn't bring out a weapon or food, no, she brought out...

a child?

Hey guys, this is my first light novel so it's more than likely going to be a bit clunky and it's very possible I
missed some grammatical errors. I hope it doesn’t impede on your ability to read. I may or may not
continue this series, it depends on how it’s received.
