98: Fame and Recognition

As Silver walked with his father, mother, and grandfather towards the gates of the Great Wall of Sparta, he recounted his experiences during his rite of passage.

A walk which should have taken at most five minutes took fifteen minutes.

His parents and grandfather would sometimes pause as Silver would perform gestures and theatrics to show what he went through. Although his gestures and theatrics were too much at times, his parents and grandfather enjoyed his story and even complimented or added a little bit of flair to his story.

Although they had much scarier and powerful beasts, encountered much more dangerous situations, and been in a lot of life threatening situations, the joy and happiness in Silver's voice and expression was infectious.

Each of them were happy, proud, and relieved for their own reasons.

Oblivious to the thoughts that was going through the minds of his parents and grandfather, Silver continued his story-telling.
