Chapter 5 Heroes

(Anti's Pov)

I pretended to sleep, because I'm not tired nor hungry or thirsty, The food tastes good. But I dissolve anything just to pretend to be a human.

I don't exhale air or anything since I'm not human, I just stand there and do nothing. After a while, Mr. Eldrede just came to me say. "Good morning child, are you sleeping well." "I'm fine Mr. Eldrede." As I said plainly, I gave him my respect for being patient about me and very cautious, you think I didn't notice? Of course, it's obvious to me that he's in a meter away is that he knew what I'm capable of. This old man interests me the most. "So then, where are we going?" "You noticed it didn't you? I knew your no ordinary kid." As he sighed and said in curiosity.

"I want to know, what you are?" "I don't know myself either," I tell him that I didn't know either myself as well. "Well, if your hiding something that you can't tell me, I won't blame you." Mr. Eldrede said in a respectful way to me.

"That's settled then." "Indeed. Now we're going to the village and have a walk." He gave me a request to join and I said. "It would he pleasure." After we left the cabin, the forest itself was beautiful again. Nature itself has an unknown origin I can't describe it myself. I wanted to know what is it I'm missing. After we're out of the forest, I saw the village with villagers working and children playing, a typical day for humans to do their lives.

As I walked through the village, this old man received much love and respect towards him, what makes him great? Is it his heroic deeds? What did he do? After a while, we sat there in the valley where we see those villagers.

As I feel the wind in the air and sky is blue itself, just was is this feeling. "You there?" Asked me if I'm asleep, but he didn't ask that, if I decipher his words, in his mind says that.

"You felt something, that you never received before right?" With those questions that he asked and I replied. "I'm fine thank you..." I thought something like this was simple. Then the old man said something to me.

"Do you want to hear why I became the hero they needed?" He said that just because I want to know why humans have a proud look at their achievements. "Yes, of course." I'm ready to hear what this old man is.

As this wanted to hear my story of how I gained the honor of a knight. I told him. "Let me tell you, how I Leland Eldrede.

Became the Commander of the Knights. It all started in a place..."

As I was very young at the age of 14, I dreamt that one day I'll become the greatest knight of all to prove myself to be the side of justice. And it gives me the motivation. As my father and mother see my hard work as we go through hard times, yes I was a commoner back then. I was born into a commoner family with no title, no family names, just me, mother, father, and siblings of mine.

We were a happy family, as we go together through the challenges we faced. My eye color is blue and my hair is also black and my eyes are green as if I'm the night itself, my middle sister has purple eyes and purple hair, which is the sign of a sage, my youngest sister has gold eyes and gold hair, is the sign of a saint, my older brother, is the red hair and orange eyes, sign of a fighter, my eldest brother has white and red eyes, is the sign of hunter, my younger brother has blonde gold hair and light blue eyes, is the sign of a hero. Our family is blessed after that, we were gone to the castle of the prince and he is a wise fellow, his eyes are like emeralds and his hair is like the blue of the sea itself there's no doubt that it's the prince. After that, we returned to our rooms a chat together as a family.

"You know, the prince seems nice." "Woah there, falling in love with someone just because of their looks doesn't mean you have to like him that fast and you won't personality he had. Do you ever experience love? Hmm?" That older brother who was mocking my middle sister is Sasthe Eldrede.

Though we don't have family names, we are family and we inherited it from the king afterward. Calden is a muscle head and a mischievous older brother of mine, he is 19 years old and he looks so athletic and strong at the same time, he loves fighting and loves mocking my middle sister Sasthe Eldrede.

Sasthe is the smartest of us and loves books because books make her comfortable, she's 17 years old and she is interested in evolution itself. You could say she's the smartest, but what I know is that she's very much likely very naive to fall in love with an attractive man and it's kinda weird.

One time, my older brother tried to look for her, and we saw her not letting go of a random handsome man, kinda pathetic isn't it. She's beautiful indeed, but very much likely not good in checking a personality, like when she saw someone ugly or fat, she kinda offended them calling them, perverts, scums, and other negative stuff. But these guys are nice!?! Why did she have to do that!?!

As I walked up to my sister and beat the senses out of her and scolded her for doing that and she apologized. Good grief, when will she learn not to judge people's appearance. "Huh!?! Are you saying that I'm very much likely not good at speaking to the prince!?!" "Are you an idiot? You can't even say a proper thing and you are kinda weird for that you know." As she blushed and says. "Shut up!" "Hahahaha..." really kinda funny though that we have that kind of environment in this place.

"Umm... Big brother?" "Yes?" This youngest sister of mine is Halete Eldrede. She is 7 years old and she's very gentle to others and people in our village called her an "Angel." Kinda fitting for her and they can't resist her adorable innocent eyes of hers. "Come on, say, something brother, it's getting awkward because she is scared and can't say anything, try to comfort her." "Ah, right..." I am like the nicest of the siblings, this is my younger brother is Fronar Eldrede. He is the most well-balanced of the siblings, he's 10 years old and very much likely strict for our family, despite being young and the only ones who treated softly are me, and Halete. I guess you can say he's the protector of the family.

"Now, now, let's just go to sleep alright, it's getting late and we have training tomorrow, we'll continue this in the morning." This eldest brother is Atlin Eldrede. He is 21 years old and the mature of the bunch. And he is scared when he's mad and if they try to protest him. "B-but!" "Do you have a problem?" Said with a scary smile and he's also handsome and very scary, oh god, good thing I'm not like them.

"Yes..." the two said with a hopeless face. Welp time to go to sleep, I guess it's to be one helluva training. I'm determined enough, I'll make my family proud!
