Chapter 2
*Arthur's PoV*
8 months had passed, and I'm still trying to know what this world really is about. I was finally able to crawl because my limbs and bone muscles grew drastically from constant milk consumption and due to the proper care of my parents.
"Damn, elf's milk sure is different from humans".
I can speak finally speak too but can only mutter few words some of them are "dadada" "papa" and "mama", those simple words is useful enough for me to move around this house. However, im disappointed how idiotic of me to say those words, I'm a ruler and yet i can only say dadada? That is an embarrassment not only for myself but for my people.
In terms of vision, my vision gradually changes. When i was newly born the image i can only see are illuminations of random colors, there's no shape nor images. But now, from constant milk consumption i was finally able to see something, i can finally see my family without any bothersome blurred colors and such. And there, my heart feels elated.
It felt like it had found a treasure that no one knew existed. I found a treasure more worthy than jewelry and gold combined, a family.
My mother is so beautiful like an elf. She's a hybrid, half-human and half-elf. She got blond and pure white skin, her eyes are blue like the sky.
My father is like Sasuke who left the hidden village because he's so stupid. He's tall, pure human, had long black hair and his eyes are as black as the night sky, scary yet beautiful. He's handsome however, he got an emo vibe.
The amount of joy i had at that moment is like finding a treasure buried beneath the deepest part of earth. A treasure indeed.

*ARTHUR's POV*
It's 8 am in the morning and my mother finally went to buy ingredients in the town, it's an opportunity for me to study in the library again.
Arthur then climbs up on his cradle then crawls towards the small library. It is such a hassle for my small body to do this, If hypothetically i fell down drastically in this poorly built cradle, i could end my life by literally crushing my skull.
This house is not so bad at all, considering that they even have a spare room for a library indicates that they are not poor and have the privilege to have a library, even though it is small it is still endearing.
Everything is such a hassle, from moving and reading. I have to exert an unimaginable amount of force to just simply crawl let alone i do something a baby wouldn't even dare to do.
"the doorknob" Arthur said in dissatisfaction. To enter the library in his house, he must first crawl all the way through there and open a door. Luckily the library is right next to where his cradle is.
Now, in front of the door thinking of what way to approach and open it. Arthur found himself in a giant task he couldn't do.
And so he seeks outside help, a very clever yet working plan.
First, he will cry.
"HUWAHHHHHHH" Arthur had sold his sanity to the devil.
"DADADADAAAAAAAAAAA" Arthur is calling for his dad.
After quite a while, Arthur finally heard footsteps and there his dad finally came.
"Art, what are you doing here" Troy found Arthur laying on the ground in front of the door that leads to the library.
"DADADADAAAAA" Arthur cries while pointing to the door that leads to the library.
"do you want to go there?" Troy was amused. And so he picks up and carries Arthur to the library.
"yes, become my feet and hands being that brought me here" arthur speaks in his mind.
"do you want to read?" Troy asked.
"dadada" arthur had no choice but to act like a baby, because he really is a baby.
The library had three bookshelves, each having 5 shelves. A table can be seen in the window and that's where they are headed, first Troy leads Arthur to books where baby stories is stored.
"what do you want to read" troy approach the bookshelf and let arthur choose books.
However that's not the shelf Arthur wants, so he pointed the shelf near on the side of the table then pointed at a book name "the three kingdoms". Troy noticed it so he looked at it but-
"you wanna know about the kingdoms huh, but you won't understand the contents anyway" troy then picked a children story type book, but arthur insisted that he wants that book.
"i was finally able to reach the upper level of this shelf and then you'll say that I must read a childrens book? that's very stupid of you father." Arthur spoke in his mind.
There they sat at the table while Troy put Arthur on the top of it, Troy opened a book about a kid that is lost and somewhat found himself in a different place. Arthur who poses no power, let his father read him the story. He was of course interested in it because the title is quite catchy for him.
His father began telling the tale of a kid who plays in the woods and lost himself.
The tale features a bright kid, a kid of talent, and is loved by everyone. He lives in a very dilegent life, the kids' father is a diplomat so they travel to town and town. One time, at a town where his father works. A lady comes and pays a visit to their house, the lady is his father's colleague the lady also brought her daughter with her. The kid doesn't care about the daughter, yet the daughter seems to be interested in him.
Every time the lady pays a visit to their house, The kid and the Lady's daughter would always play. From a family roleplay chase, they would play all day and tire each other if they. However, while playing tag under an apple tree, a new kid appeared. They do not know who the kid is and where he came from. Both of them are hesitant to play with him however the new kid explained that he is their neighbor, the kid and the daughter agreed to play with him but only for One time only, the new kid agreed and so they played.
Not knowing what to play, the kid and the daughter asked the new kid what game he wants them to play.
The new kid is delighted and so he chooses.
"Hide and seek" he says.
"what are the rules" the daughter spoke.
"One will hunt the two down, while the two hides where ever they want" the new kid said. "even in the woods." the new kid added.
"Woods?" The daughter exclaimed "i am not sure if we are okay with that, my mother doesn't want me to wander too far" she added.
"Oh come on, we can do this its not that we will go that far anyways" The Diplomat kid exclaimed.
The daughter liked the diplomat kid so she agreed nonetheless of the concerns.
"the diplomat kid will be the one hunting us, while she and I hide." said the new kid.
"ehhh? i want to hunt you guys" the daughter exclaimed.
"oh come on, wheres the fun in that." The new kid contradicts. "the kid of the diplomat is much will be cooler if he hunts us."
"yeah the new kid is correct, i am talented and all in. And i will never lose!" The diplomat kid is prideful and so the three of them agreed.
"Okay, you can count to ten while your eyes are closed. while we hide." The new kid said and made a sinister smile.
"Okay" said the diplomat kid, he faced the apple tree and started counting.
"Ten" the daughter ran of inside their home
"Nine" the new slowly walks away.
"Eight"
"seven"
"Six"
"five"
"Four
"three"
"two"
"o-" before finishing to count he heard the yell of the new kid. "IM INSIDE THE WOODS, COME AND FIND ME FIRST"
"one. READY OR NOT HERE I COME!" And there, he runs straight to the woods without even hesitating. "you fool! you yell your location HAHAHA" He laughs while running expecting that he can catch the kid easily.
"OVER HERE" The new kid yells, making the diplomat kid change the direction of where he runs. He runs and runs until he stopped to catch his breath. He's now in deep shallow woods. He hesitated at first yet he heard someone.
"HERE" The new kid yells once again, but this time the voice is near and is heard loud and clear. The diplomat kid knew the exact location of where the new kid is, and so he approached it slowly. Slowly but surely.
He walks and walks and now he is in the back of the tree where he thinks the new kid is. He jumped and-
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Someone grabbed the diplomat kid.
Meanwhile, Arthur and his father are having a little quarrel because Arthur cried all of the sudden.
"WHAT KIND OF BOOKS ARE YOU READING ON ME" Arthur yelled. "I AM ONLY A TODDLER!" He cried.
"oh come on now, it's not even finished yet." troy exclaimed.
"NOT FINISH? I JUST READ THE LAST PAGE OF THIS BECAUSE OF HOW SLOW YOU READ IT" He yelled at his father but on troy's eyes, he is merely crying.
"THE DIPLOMAT KID JUST GOT BUTCHERED AND SLICED INTO PIECES AND THEN HIS BODY PARTS GOT SOLD ON THE BLACK MARKET" Arthur who is enraged at how stupid his father is, started punching and slapping his face.
"Now Now, please be nice at me" troy said while laughing. "I am merely scaring you" he added.
"I AM A TODDLER! YOU'RE TRYING TO SCARE ME BY READING A HORROR STORY? WHAT KIND OF A FATHER ARE YOU." Arthur continues to punch and slap his father.
"Okay okay, ill stop now," troy said.
"I am not accepting you as my father." Arthur said, yet troy only heard dada dada.
"how cute" troy blushed.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Arthur is mad.
"Okay, ill read the book you asked me to" Troy exclaimed.
"Good" Arthur nods.
"DID YOU JUST NOD ON ME?" Troy put his face in front of Arthur's face. But Arthur nod in disagreement, Arthur swayed his head left to right to indicate that he did not nod.
"yeah no way you'd understand me, you're just a toddler anyway" Troy put his hand on his chin then nods to confirm his theory.
Arthur who is dumbfounded said "what?"
Now carrying the book Arthur wanted, he and his father sat at the table and began reading it
