The Examination

This young man, the day I first saw him, he was in a particular house, specifically the house of the Great Seer, but the Great Seer and his wife are dead, his wife was stabbed in the heart, and the Great Seer seemed to be stabbed by many blades, they're not magic swords, they're just normal swords.

Why would many people all stab the Great Seer? Then I realized, when I looked back at their child who was sitting at the side, his magic power is so intense that I feel so dumb for not noticing he was there, although he has low Mana, he can become a great soldier in the kingdom.

"It's obvious something in him killed his parents," I thought, sad for the kid.

That's why I took him in, his mind seemed to be in shock that he killed his parents, and it was obvious from his eyes that he was crying.

"Lethe," I called as I see him resting on the ground after hours of sword training.
