First Friend!

The village seemed weird in a way..? In some places there were fights all over the place between citizens and the guards but for some reason the citizens did not fight back. Zofo just looked away for now even though he wanted to fight them. Zofo walked and walked but didn't fight anything and ended up sneaking in the quiet and calm side of the village. There were people but what is this? They were laughing as if nothing's wrong. Zofo put his sword on his sword inside the coat just in case. Zofo thought he needed some rest and went to a quiet side and sat down by himself and Maira. After some time an old time came walking towards Zofo.

Kid, you know it's not allowed to have swords here right? The old man stated.

But how did he know Zofo had a sword. Fire Demon was hidden beneath his coat. Zofo looked at him right in the eyes with his blood. The old man took a step back scared.

Take it easy kid im only warning you about this village since you don't seem like you're from here.

I'm sorry, Zofo said

The old man sat beside him.

I don't know how you managed to get in here but it must be that you have some skill especially to have a sword with an aura like that. Yes, that's how i knew you had a sword, the more time you spend fighting you'll begin sensing swords. These punk guards would never know. The old man spat on the floor while saying that.

When Zofo looked closer at the man, he could see all his muscles, his white hair, his sword scars. Then he knew..this man shouldn't be underestimated. Zofo kindly thanked him for teaching him and offered him some of his food. It was normal meat but the old man hasn't seen this in years. No one in the cursed villages but the guards had the luxury of having meat. The old man thanked him and offered he would stay in his home and talk for a bit. Zofo kindly accepted and followed the old man.

His home was empty..the only thing he had was two futons to sleep on which they sat on. He apologized for not having much to show then laughed, to that Zofo cracked a little smile with closed eyes. The old man then kept rambling about the village and its people.

This village has two sides, the one that is always in fights and one that is calm. The reason for that is, there is a man that lives in this part of the village that is strong enough to push the three generals of this village back. But he would unfortunately not be able to do so if the three generals teamed up. But the general are a bunch of idiots *laughs*. They have too much pride to team up on this one single man, but I respect that… The generals are divided and do not work together, that's why the village has three big factions. Every guard in that faction believes that their general is the strongest. Two of the generals reside in the part that is always fighting. The fights with the citizens became smaller and smaller while the two factions began fighting between themselves instead. The third general resides in the calm part but he can't do anything to this man so he doesn't make a lot of moves. It is the east general, west general and one with us the south general. The name of this man is..Marco!!

Zofo was drinking water then began choking on it and spat all of it on the old man's face. He began apologizing while warming him up with his power with his fire ability using his hand. The old man laughed to see the calm and collected Zofo to panic like that.

You really aren't some kid, who are you..? The old man asked.

Zofo looked down and did not know if he should tell him. It might haunt him back and hurt the old man.

Fire ability.., can you be related to that man..? The old man had a sharp look in his eyes and the laughing face disappeared.

I am his son.., Zofo answered slowly

The old man with no hesitation went on all fours, bowing his head asking for forgiveness.

I ask forgiveness from the young master! The old man had some regret in his voice while Zofo tried making him sit up and told him it is all fine.

The old man began explaining.

It is not only Marco here that can fight. There are hundreds of us soldiers that fought all under Lord Alex and we were placed in Lord Valds group. That is why we are with young master Marco here. To not show him any unwanted attention we just call him by Marco. Marco's goal has always been to help as many people as possible in this village but it is not easy since the generals cannot be underestimated. Marco would have easily defeated them if he had his Demon Sword with him but he cannot get it. Lord Vald placed it in a chest with a spell, you have to tell the chest the password for it to open and there is only one clue... "The village is the password.."

But what did that mean? No one knew. Not even Marco. The old man's name was Falco and he told Zofo that he had to go meet up with Marco, maybe they could help each other in some way. One the way there, there was an explosion, it seems like the south general has made a move finally. Marco was there on the ground while the general was flying in the air with a sword in his hand.

Marco had big, black hair, wide open black eyes that seemed like he was not bothered by anything, he too had scars all over his body.

If you came here to fight then stop running away mister general! Marco screamed at him.

You know I can not just fight you head on, just like your father, you are strong, general said.

Don't talk about my father like you know him, Marco got angry.

Marco just like his father had the ability to control the earth, he pointed his hand towards the ground below him and the pillar of earth beneath him grew out. Marco was standing on top of it, getting closer to the general but the general just moved away easily..

Now what Marco, The general seemed like he was making fun of him

Marco did something no one expected and it was jumping off his earth pillar onto the general which left everyone watching gasping but Zofo. Zofo began laughing and laughing loudly. Marco did not care about the deadly height he was at and ended punching the general in the face making him fall in the ground making a big explosion. Marco then began screaming for help after he had realized what he had done. Zofo removed his tears of laughter and jumped high into the air catching Marco.

My Savior, Marco hugged Zofo.

Zofo was still laughing and they landed on the ground, Zofo dropped Marco making him hit the ground on his head.

At least be nice about it!! Marco seemed angry again but Zofo was just laughing but then gave him his hand as an apology and Marco took it with a bright smile on his smile and laughter. They stared at each with a big smile..and here appeared Zofo's first right hand man..
