New place

The War, it all happened in the war. My father died for this useless country. Our house was burned with my pregnant mother. She died while saving me.

I cried really hard that day. I WISHED I HAD DIED WITH HER!! But apparently, I was saved. Of course, I don't remember what happened after that. After my mother pushed me out of the door, she got hit by a firewall. I wanted to save her but I couldn't move my legs. A loud scream broke my attention, every one's house had caught on fire. People with aqua elements were busy around the street. The smell of burnt flesh and the sound of people screaming were everywhere. How much can a 5 years old boy take ?? I fainted right there where I was and the last thing I knew I was in a big room with a maid.

" I see you have woken up, let me call the doctor ."

I didn't know what was going on so I just kept quiet and nodded my head. So She went to get the doctor.

I was surprised that I am alive !!. A hint of fake hope stirred on me, what if my mother was still alive ??, she still could be alive!! My heart started to beat rapidly thinking about my mother. When suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening. Maid, doctor, a man and slave came inside. The man seems to be the owner of this mansion. His dark black hair tied in a tidy ponytail and commanding adyol aura sure seems to make him different from others.

" Hey, how are you feeling??"

That sudden sentence surprised me a little. I was so focused on men that I forgot about the doctor. "I'm fine. H-How is my mother ?? Is she also here ?? Is she in the next room ??" I asked hurriedly hoping for a positive response but no one spoke up. The room was filled with awkward silence. The man slowly came to my side and told me one thing I never wanted to hear at the time.

" I am sorry ! " he said,

" - couldn't save your - she is dead - "

I couldn't hear what he said after that. My mind was filled by' I'm sorry ' ' you're mother is dead ' ' she is dead with your future siblings ' 'she's dead ' 'DEAD !!!!'. It just kept repeating the same thing.

Even though I know the truth. I couldn't handle it. I really hoped I was wrong. Even if half of the things weren't said by that man. I knew my heart wasn't lying and that is the bitter truth.

I was in deep trauma. I felt like m-my heart stopped for a moment. Finally, I couldn't hold back and a small stream of tears started flowing from my eyes. I started crying, loudly, how could I hold it back?? The man slowly hugged me. But I couldn't care at that time, I didn't even notice we were the only ones in the room, I just kept crying and crying. I don't even remember falling asleep.

" So your finally awake, huh ??"

I only woke up but I already got a strange sense of deja vu. I slowly start to remember what happened yesterday. When I turn around I saw that man.

"You cried all afternoon and ended up sleeping. " he said with pity look, "Why don't you fresh up?? I have prepared a set of clothes for you. Then we can talk quietly. "

I just nod my head in response. I didn't have energy or voice to talk. Crying all afternoon ended up drying my voice out. I quietly went into the bath room and took a cold shower to relax a little. But ended up thinking about my parents the whole time. Still, I felt more relaxed than yesterday. I took a big sigh and looked at the clothes prepared for me. The cloth was really fancy at least for me. I was just a mid mocon so I could never think of wearing such fancy clothes while sitting home.

Suddenly I heard the sound of the door opening. What's with this dèja vù and noisy door??. The man appeared from the door, " Sorry you were taking too much time so I decided to come in ." He said and took a glance at clothes in my hands I was staring at. He took a big sigh and helped me put on the clothes.

We sat in the bedroom to discuss but there was just awkward silence between us ." It seems like you have already accepted the truth and move on huh!!" You are pretty mature for your age. I didn't say anything, this was my first time someone told me that so I had nothing to say. He must have understood so started again.

" I am Adlmund Lonam"

" mana pearl with terra and caleli"

MANA PEARL WITH 2ELEMENTS!!. Talk about rare. I remember once my father told me being mana pearl is so rare, there are only 5 people who have achieve it in the whole continent. Is he one of the five people ??

" No!! I'm not one of the five. In fact, no one knows about my strength except few I put my trust on. I am telling you this because I want to gain your trust. I don't want any future misunderstanding "

I stared at him dumbfounded. Now that I look at him he did seem to have developed and trained body. With such a body and handsome face he must have been very popular with girls when he was younger. His age seems to be around 30 years old right now.

" Let me be straight to you. I am going to adopt you as my son from today but once you are grown up you have to help me out with my business, okay ??"

" Business?? "

" Yes! I can't tell you now since you are just a kid but once it's time for you to know I will tell you. "

" Is it a bad business??. "

"Um, I don't know. Why don't you find out by yourself?? "

" The second thing I want you to know is, we are not at Sheraton right now ."

NOTE: This continent is divided into three parts. Sheraton is the country which was under attack. Golanion is a country they are in. Romadious is the country which attacked Sheraton.
