Memories

[...]

Three years ago...

We are in the nation 0, also recognized as a nation of Kormany. It is here that the main palace of the Kormany is located, a gigantic villa adorned with royal decorations. Among the imposing walls of that villa are built many towers, one higher than the other, almost to impose their supremacy over the rest of the world.

Around the villa was a gigantic garden, which was divided into many areas, each adorned with fountains, hedges, trees, flowers, squares, and decorations of all kinds. The size of that garden was so large it could cover an entire city. An imposing gate was built around the garden, which curved the entire area and had only one point of access.

The only access point was a gigantic gate, which was very heavy and only a very high number of people could move it.

The villa comprised a very rich and renowned area of the nation, also recognized as the richest area in the world. Around the garden of the villa, was built the largest and most important city in the world, also recognized as the capital of all nations.

It was in this city where the most important members of the Kormany lived, including Lefob. Lefob was a 35-year-old man and father of a 13-year-old boy named Lefelob.

It was a normal summer day when, in the garden of their own home, Lefob and Lefelob were doing their usual training.

They were performing a classic sword training, when, by mistake, Lefelob wounded Lefob under the right eye.

"Sorry... I'm sorry Dad... Sorry, sorryyyyyyy!!" exclaimed Lefelob, sorry and worried about the injury inflicted on his father.

"No problem, Lefelob... It's nothing!!" he said, touching his bleeding wound.

Lefelob, however, stopped and made a very disagreeable face.

"Dad... you've been training me for a long time, but of my power no trace... I'm sorry... ".

Lefob stopped to look at Lefelob, who had lowered his gaze.

"Lefelob, what do you say?? You have a power in your body, it's just half developed... You'll see that you will make it if you work hard!!".

"I would like to use my power of fire... Shoot blasts of fire and burn enemies... ".

"Lefelob, you will... Ahh, remember my promise... Haha!!" said Lefob, caressing Lefelob's hair.

Lefob had to stop training and go out for a commitment.

This engagement was the usual routine assembly that the Kormany are used to doing once a month.

Evie, Hinaji, and Tolomew were also present in front of the entrance gate of the Villa Kormany. Evie is one member of Hinaji's group, who was called back for the assembly.

**

The Kormany are divided into three hierarchical positions: The most important is the Supreme Korman, followed by the four secondary Kormans. Then, all the government agencies that decided to join the Kormany. Among these are the Agency of Councillors and the Hinaji group.

"Hikaru is missing I see... Where is he??" asked Lefob.

"Lefob... Hikaru will not be there for this meeting, he has other commitments... " replied Tolomew.

"I told you yesterday, Lefob... " said Evie.

The assembly began and proceeded as usual. When Lefob returned, however, something seemed to go wrong.

"Jenny, what's going on??" said Lefob worried, seeing Lefelob's caregiver in tears on the couch of his living room.

Before answering, Jenny wiped her tears and looked down.

"Nothing... My usual crises... " she replied.

"I do not believe you... Come on, tell me everything!!" he said, sitting next to her.

Jenny turned away with a sad expression

"You know... I consider Lefelob like a son, but I never feel enough for him... I'm not his real mother and this makes him suffer... I can't feel well... ".

"Jenny... since you became Lefelob's caregiver, you've been the only one to take care of him after my wife died... He calls you 'Mom' and considers you his new mom... You have nothing to worry about... ".

Jenny, after that, turned to Lefob and hugged him, resting her head on his chest.

"I see Lefelob so thoughtful lately... It seems that there is something wrong... I'm afraid he feels this thing... I'm afraid he's weighed down by the fact that I'm not his real mother... ".

"I understand... I'll go talk to him, where is he now??".

"He's in the yard, sitting alone... I burst into tears after seeing him like this... ".

"All right, you are calm and serene but... Okay????".

"All right, thanks for listening to me, and sorry if I annoy you every time haha... " she said drying his tears again.

"Relax Jenny... You never bother me, haha, know that I will always listen to you... ".

"Thank you very much, Lefob... " replied Jenny.

Lefob got up from the couch and headed to his houseyard. He noticed Lefelob sitting on the hammock, which was hanging on the two largest trees in the courtyard.

He approached him and spoke to him.

"Lefelob... what's the matter?? You seem thoughtful... Even Mom is worried... ".

Lefelob turned to the tree trunk on his right before answering. He had a rather melancholy look.

"It has nothing to do with Mom... It's about the speech yesterday... ".

"Is it about your power that has been half unlocked??".

"That too... But there is something that makes me think a lot these days... ".

Lefob drew even closer to his son, bent down to look him in the eye better, and asked.

"What's bothering you so much?".

"The Kormany who want me to be a counsellor... They consider me the number one candidate to become the next Councillor and enter the Agency of Councillors... This thing makes me a little worried... ".

"Lefelob... you should be proud of this... I know it will bring you many responsibilities, but it is a dignified role and to reach it at your age is an excellent result... " he said, going to embrace Lefelob, who seemed to calm down slightly more.

The days passed and the two strengthened their relationship more and more. Lefelob loved his father and had great respect for him and his greatest desire until then was to become like him.

Lefelob would never have wanted such a day to come.

It was around the capital, the Villa Kormany was well visible from the city palaces and the sky was clear.

Lefelob was on his way home and for that day he took a different route than usual.

He took a very crowded street of people all around something.

Lefelob tried to approach to understand.

"Stay away!! You are not allowed to pass!!" said a policeman, who was in front of a yellow strip next to other policemen, intent on not letting people through that street.

"At least explain to us what happened!!" exclaimed a gentleman in the crowd.

Lefelob paid no attention and returned to the usual way home.

Two minutes to go before we arrived home, but suddenly Lefelob felt a strange sensation in his body. In his head were projected, without his will, some memories with his father and their training.

"Who knows if Dad has already come home for the training... " he thought to himself.

He returned home and found Jenny with a distressed expression.

"Hello Mom, is Dad home??" he asked.

"Lefelob... I'm sorry... " replied Jenny.

Lefelob did not understand, he stopped before the anguished look of Jenny.

"Your father died... He was killed... ".

Lefelob's expression went completely out.

"The police say it was a suicide... but I saw your father in an alley with Hikaru... I left without paying too much attention... In my opinion, it was Hikaru... I'm sorry, Lefelob... ".

After that day, Lefelob cultivated a deep hatred towards the Kormany. He thought that all this was a plot and that the Kormany had killed his father.

The day after the incident, Lefelob decided to escape from there and leave the capital.

Jenny warned the police, who reported it to the Kormany, who put a bounty on Lefelob's head.

"Bastards... you took my father away from me... I'm an orphan, I'm alone... " said Lefelob, in the middle of a crisis.

He had hidden inside an abandoned house in a nearby village.

The next few days, Lefelob spent them travelling from one village to another, sleeping in abandoned buildings.

"I'll reach the Vèiger... I'll reveal the truth and destroy you... Kormany shit, you make me sick... ".
