Bad for apologies.

Well, yesterday was a very surprising day, in the middle of the cabin we were Wulls, Mrs. Sofia, Amelia, yesterday's woman, two boys and a guy who seemed to be around fifty years old, the latter was treating the wound that the woman had made me yesterday, for some strange reason, there was something that was controlling the girl's mind, she was treated by Mr. Zeng, who from Guang's mouth took out a piece of cloth bathed in blood. He mentioned to us that they had been attacked by warlocks when they were eliminating the beasts outside, one of the warlocks attacked Guang which caused his deepest desires to come to the surface.

Given the explanation Guang the only woman in the group, knelt in front of me, apologized honestly and politely, I felt that I should accept the apology, after all it was not her will at all, the other time I heard a very repetitive phrase, but every time I hear it it causes a lump in my throat.

So he had taken her hand and then told her in a kind voice.

"I won't judge you because," I paused slightly, "your actions were against your will.

"But I tried to kill you," he replied.

I grabbed her chin while I was telling her.

"He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone," at my statement, everyone was silent.

"You're a good boy, thank you," he thanked and then got up from the ground and returned to his classmates.

A few minutes passed in which I was talking with Zeng, the old man of the group, it turns out that he is not that old, he is 45 years old, but his physique seems to be that of an old man, I was chatting with him for a long time outside the cabin, he began to tell me everything about his battle with Asterio, who by the way was resting in Amelia and Sofia's room. He told me that never in his 45 years had he had a battle as intense as the one he had with Asterio.

"You can tell that you are one of the most important people for your brother, he gave everything of himself to try to give Guang what he had done to you what he had done to you.

"And how could you defeat my brother?" I asked in admiration.

Although since we were children I had manifested superhuman abilities, I never thought that I could be defeated, in my imagination my brother was super strong, but he thought about things a lot before acting, he rarely acted by instinct and I have never seen him act without first having thought. Zeng looked me in the eye and with a smile said.

"With a little luck and effort.

A strange familiar feeling ran through my head, that warm and confident smile, now I see why his teammates chose him as their captain, someone with those attitudes is worthy of admiration, he also did his best to protect his partner from my brother when he was about to kill her, even though she was at fault she helped her, That may sound strange and strange, but at the same time it shows the affection and love he has for his colleagues, yes, just like my brother.

"Now what's next?" Are you going to kiss? A female voice sounded behind us.

"You're the girl who was with Astaro's brother, aren't you?" Zeng asked.

Mrs. Wulls was in front of us, she was holding a very calm face, she seemed not to care about my brother's condition, well, he will be fine, he just lost consciousness.

"I'm so sorry the battle ended that way," Zeng apologized.

"Okay, you don't have to apologize, Asterio got carried away, it was hasty on his part, it's his fault too," Mrs. Wulls said without further ado.

By the way, another surprise I got was that Wulls is actually 20 years old too, but it was the complete opposite of Zeng, she had the full appearance of a girl.

"Asterio wants to talk to you and Guang," Sofia approached us to tell Zeng that.

"I'm sorry, Astaro, we'll continue our talk later," he said goodbye as he entered the hut.

"You're not good at apologizing in public, are you?" Brother, I thought.

○●○●○

I hate to apologize, and even more so when the one who was at fault was me, who the hell would say I was being controlled by a witch, why the hell didn't I know before? I would have been spared this ridicule, now I must apologize, damn! And I like to apologize for.

There was the sound of the door opening, Zeng and Guang entered, Wulls told me what happened, he told me about what Zeng had told them, I know I must apologize, but I hate to do it, why should I apologize to someone who is also a sinner? It's just ridiculous.

"I see carefully that you are fine, I am very glad," Zeng was the first to speak.

"Yes, I heard that you cured me after I became unconscious, I guess I should thank you, thank you very much.

"Hahahaha," a laugh was heard on my right side, Wulls was smiling mockingly at the window, "if even saying thank you you think it's funny, I don't want to miss it when you apologize," he continued mocking.

"Which side do you think you are on?" I asked with a little annoyance.

Guang approached me with her head down, for no reason did she look me in the eye, it should be noted that she was shorter than me, she clenched her hands while she seemed to formulate sentences in her head.

"I, in truth, am very sorry for what happened, I apologize from the bottom of my heart," she knelt in front of me, "please accept my apologies.

"What?" I said with a gesture of disgust, "you really kneel before anyone, that's a sign of weakness," take her chin to raise it and look her in the eye, "kneel before someone who loves you, don't kneel before any idiot stronger than you.

At my statement the atmosphere became tense, Wulls was now looking at us with a serious face, Zeng on the other hand was just watching with his arms crossed, he took her hand to lift her, it was not his will to try to assassinate Astaro, so he should not have any kind of resentment towards him.

He seemed to have a serious expression, although he only gave a sigh and broke away from my grip, smiled at me and said.

"You're a strict guy, but you give good advice, I would have loved to have a brother like you, you worry too much about your brother, that's good, but at the same time bad.

When she finished saying that last one she tapped me on the tip of my nose with her index finger, I was surprised, but at the same time it irritated me, now she is going to advise me?

"From what Miss Sophie has told me about your brother, I don't think you need to worry so much about him.

"Oops! He's telling you that you're a very overprotective brother," Wulls whispered in my ear trying to make me angry.

In the face of Wulls' mocking arguments, I just ignored her, that was her personality anyway, but I thought a lot about what Guang was telling me, Astaro is no longer a child like he was five years ago, now he can defend himself, well he always has, but under my supervision, now to think that he doesn't need my interventions to do something, It has me worried. I haven't seen him since I entrusted him to Wulls, after this conversation I'll go and see him.

"I'm also an older sister, I know what it feels like to be worried about your brothers, but they must learn to fend for themselves, we are not immortal people, the day will come when we simply won't be there for them, and they will have to fend for themselves.

"That you didn't come to apologize?" I said laughing.

"Well, it feels great to be talking to another older brother.

"I say the same thing, Guang, right?

"Yes, my name is Guang.

"Mine is Asterio, a pleasure."

For some strange reason a great relaxation flooded my whole body, I felt a little better, I guess talking to someone who knows what I mean is very relaxing for me, Guang looked at me smiling while tilting his head.

"I won't apologize, but I won't act on instinct again," I said as I left the room.

Leaving the room I realize that there are 3 people outside the hut, they were Amelia, Sofia and Astaro, behind me was Wulls who as always was watching me carefully.

"Do I have a bug stuck in my back?" I asked.

"You're bad at apologies," he replied.

I just nodded to his answer, what does it matter, it's the truth, I'm not very good at apologizing to people or at least to someone who has nothing to do with me, in a few words a stranger, I left the hut calling the attention of the three already mentioned, the three looked at me carefully, a silence was present in our environment.

"Hello, Asterio, it's good that you've already woken up," Sofia greeted me.

Amelia hid behind Sofia, she seemed to be shy, well it was always like this since we were children, we used to play when Astaro slept in the afternoons due to the fatigue of cultivating and picking. I approached her from Sofia's left side, we both exchanged glances, I looked carefully at her light brown eyes, they are very beautiful, they even seem to have their own shine.

"You've grown a lot Amelia," I said smiling.

Before my argument her face showed a great blush, I think I know that feeling, but I think she is still too young for that, besides she should aspire to bigger things, look at someone like...

"Brother," Astaro spoke to me straight ahead, his face looking serious.

We both exchanged glances while Sofia looked at us worried, I remember that the reason why I disappeared was because I argued with Astaro, I guess she is worried about how we will take this reunion, knowing him well she will surely apologize to me it has always been like this, no matter how well we get along we will always have differences and a clash of different opinions was the trigger for the argument that day.

"What's wrong with Astaro?" I said without further ado.

"I," he began to say while surprisingly pointing at me, "I am not sorry for what I told you that day, my arguments are credible enough to say that what I think is what is right for me, so, if you thought I was going to apologize, let me tell you that you are very wrong," he finished smiling proudly.

I was surprised by what, before my eyes, that brother who was once insecure in his actions is now the opposite, I remembered the little talk I had with Guang in the room.

"I know what it feels like to be worried about your brothers, but they must learn to fend for themselves, we are not immortal people, the day will come when we simply will not be for them, and they will have to fend for themselves," I remembered.

"You, too, grew up a lot, Astaro," I said as I stood in front of him.

"Not so much, you're still taller than me," he replied while sighing, "and I'm also very strong," he said arrogantly.

"Yes?" I answered, knocking him to the ground to start a small bite and pinch fight.

Before our little fight a smile was drawn on the face of Sofia, the one who for us is our mother despite our age, our mother, the one who rescued Astaro from misery and the one who taught me what the goodness of a human was.
