Chapter 7: The trip and a memory

During these six days of preparation, all the inhabitants were occupied. Initially, the tribe had its doubts regarding the relocation of the entire village. But since they saw that the whole council was in agreement with this, they decided to believe in my plan.

During this time, the women were responsible for collecting the wheat fields that the village has. Then they stored the beans in sacks made of animal skins. We realized that we would not have enough bags to transport the beans so we had to improvise and convert some garments into new bags, we also had to buy some others from the other villages. We also sold our copper and tin stocks to the villages a little further away, since these, not having so much contact with us, would not suspect our actions. The only setback we had was that the merchants who were heading towards our village for some reason deviated from their route. All this I saw thanks to the minimap, at first I got restless about this, but the merchants finally came to the village, although they arrived just the day before leaving. This created me another concern, I do not know if the merchants realized the state of the village, and this makes me doubt if they would know what our intentions were and tell them to another village. We will have to pray to the gods to have luck on our part.

Today was the day of our departure. We decided to leave the cabins intact so that people who passed by could still see them in the distance, only if you got closer you could see that there was no one in the village. We only picked the essentials. In the village we only had two cars and six oxen and two horses. We placed four of the oxen to pull the wagons in which they transported the sacks of wheat, the expensive one was not going very fast, only because of the weight or because of the slow speed of the oxen, but because of the wheels of the car Well, actually, this was only what I knew. For other people this speed was normal, but I discovered from my new memories that the type of wheels used in these cars that were solid wood wheels, did not provide great speed on the contrary gave the car more weight. I thought about using the spoke wheels that I learned from my knowledge, but we did not have enough time to do them. With this type of wheels we could go faster.

We left before dawn, that way we would be far enough for the rest of the nearby villages to begin their daily tasks.

When the sun was almost at the top of the sky we decided to stop to rest.

-sure Aren- Ellen asked me.

-If nothing happens, I prefer you to go three on the horse than I- as head of the village I was given one of the two horses of the village, the other had Haiden to be the best warrior. Despite having the minimap to control the terrain, I could not stop Haiden from taking a distance ahead of us to explore the path. I wanted to avoid the inconvenience, but I still hesitate to tell someone about my power.

Ellen worried about riding the horse with Aria and Nao, but I insisted that she did not want them to tire. We marched in a row, both armed and armed at the front and back to ensure the safety of the people, they carry bronze swords and spears which together with objects of necessity such as water bowls and cooking utensils, which were the only metal objects that we carried. The rest we sold.

Taking advantage of the rest I would like to speak with Yoru. I approached him. When he saw me he gave me a smile and walked a little farther from where the tribe rested. As if he knew he wanted to have a private conversation.

-You would like something from my Aren-

-Well the truth is that I wanted to ask you something but since I think it's a good time I wanted to tell you something too- I talked to him, I was thinking about telling him about my power.

-You would like to tell me about the origin of your knowledge that you showed on the day of the meeting, it is not like that- his answer surprised me.

-that is, but you knew that- I asked him about this doubt that came up.

-You are Aren, my father told me once there are people with special powers, these powers could be related to magic, but unlike those people who from practice and learning know how to use magic, these magic thanks to their power special are more powerful. But these powers are not limited to this. My father even told me that there were some powers that went beyond imagination. I know that at least a few days ago you did not have the knowledge that you surely have now. But I am sure that you are a carrier of one of these special powers - at the words of Yoru I did not know how to react, I did not know anything about this.

-I can see that you miss not knowing about this, but the truth almost nobody knows about this, when a person with special powers is revealed normally the rest of people use them or directly kill them since they are afraid of their powers- with every word of Yoru my heart began to beat more and more.

-But do not worry Aren, I knew your father very well, even if it was not your real father he raised you, and I know that you would not use your power against the tribe and I do not want you to use it for that reason I will not say anything, so I assure you I will try to support you in any decision you make regarding the village. I do not know what your power is, but as long as you bring prosperity to the village I will support you - with this word I will finally be reassured. It gave me great peace of mind to know that I had someone to trust.

-changing the subject, what do you want to ask me-

-ahh it's true I wanted you to teach my sisters about magic- at Yoru's question I remembered my goal of this conversation.

-Magic? How do you know that they can use ... - Yoru did not finish talking, apparently he thought he knew thanks to my power.

-Sane Aren during times of rest and once we settle in our new home I will teach you first to feel the mana, since it is the first step to learn magic. Although I do not know if I'll be able to teach- Yoru shrugged, I really was not sure if my sisters, despite their affinity to magic, would learn to use it.

Once I thanked Yoru, I said goodbye to him and went to where my sisters were.

POV Yoru

I saw Aren leave, I could not help but stare at his back for a few seconds. Aren I already knew that you would surely have a special power from the first moment I found you with your adoptive parents, I still remember that day.

Occasionally there is a storm that occupies the entire prairie region, but that year was especially strong. During the whole night the rays did not stop falling, there was a moment when a big lightning bolt fell near the village, your parents and I immediately went to that place to make sure that the lightning did not create a fire. But when we arrived we could only see a crater produced by lightning and in the middle of it we found you Aren wrapped in silk fabrics. We could not believe what we saw, first the silk fabrics, this type of product is very expensive and rare in this continent it is said that they come from a city to the east but this one is at a great distance it is even said that it is not in This continent but they come from beyond, although this I do not believe it because if it was that way as the merchants rarely get to put their hands on this material. Although this surprised us, we were more surprised by the fact that we were wrapped in these fabrics right in the middle of the crater. First we thought that you were next to another person and the beam reached you and that luckily you survived, but that theory was not reasonable since we did not find any damage in you or in the fabrics, besides we did not see any trace around the crater as indicative if someone had been there. Although none of the three mentioned it, there was another possibility, but it was as if no one wanted to say it, it was that you had descended along with the lightning. At that moment we were watching each other. The only thing we could agree on was to take you to the village.

When we brought you we discussed what we would do. Arriving to decide that the couple would adopt you, but that none of the three would mention your origin. We were afraid.

It's been almost 14 years of that. But I can not forget that moment in which I thought and surely also your parents that you, Aren, came from heaven.
