Savior

"Big Brother! Big Brother!"

"Haa, is it morning already?" Varian rubbed his eyes, unaccustomed to the weakness imposed on his body.

The sunlight seeped in through the straws of the hut and caused him to close his eyes on reflex.

His back ached due to the hard, cold floor he had to sleep on despite a futon or atleast an attempt of one.

The blanket was rough, prickly and the only thing it did was provide was some warmth in the biting cold.

Varian reluctantly opened his eyes, to see a young girl in animal skins standing in front of him with a runny nose and a big grin.

"Zenny?"

"Um! The morning feast is up! Come on after freshing up! I'll wait outside!" The waved her arms with an excited expression and walked out.

Varian stood up and pressed his aching shoulders.

'Fresh up?'

Without any thoughts, he flicked his fingers to create a mirror by manipulation of matter.

Nothing happened.
