The time was 4 am in the morning and Aaron was soundly asleep when he was suddenly awakened by asts

Asta:Aaron wake up

Aaron:[in a sleepy voice] five more minutes

Asta grabs a bucket of water and splashes Aaron in the face

Aaron:what was that for?!?

Asta:time to train,

Aaron:what time is it

Asta:4 in the morning, I'll be waiting outside

Asta walks out of the room and Aaron forces himself of his bed

Aaron:now I know how mom feels when I wake her up in the early morning, but this is to early

Aaron gets dressed and he walks outside the house to see his dad stretching and this was the first time he's seen how muscular his dad really was

Asta:good your finally out you ready

Aaron:for what?

Asta:a run

Aaron:a run?!? But it's to early for that the sun's not even out yet

Asta:it's never to early your just to lazy let's go

Asta starts running and soon Aaron follows him trying his best to keep up, after an hour and a half of running they stop asta doesn't seem the least bit tired but Aaron on the other hand is really tired trying to catch his breath with sweat all over his body

Asta:that was a good run

Aaron:speak for yourself

Asta:come on we still have a lots to do

Aaron:but I'm so tired

Asta:nope the way you are now is no good, if you want to help me defeat these demon so we can go home you'll have to get stronger understand

Aaron:f-fine I guess your right

Asta:good now let's begin

It was now 1 in the afternoon and After many more hours of working out they finally go for something to eat, Asta was already used to working his body past its limit but Aaron had never worked out this long and everything hurt

Aaron:my body it hurts, everything hurts

Asta:yeah well you'll get use to it, I'm starving let's eat

Asta and Aaron walk into the bar that was nearly full and they are welcomed by those that asta grew close with

Darren:hey Asta how are you come drink a beer with me

Buck:ah come on to scared

Buck:well shit Asta your genes must be real strong, he looks like he's a direct copy of you

Darren:I didn't know you had a son who's the lucky lady you knocked up

Asta:[smiles] a very special and important woman in my life

Darren:here son do you want a beer?

Aaron:[shakes head] no thank you

Darren:well then more for me

Asta:come along Aaron let's take a seat

Aaron:ok

Once they grab a seat they order food and they eat, once their done they leave

Asta:alright let's go

Aaron:where are we going

Asta:to look for that demon of course where else

Asta:settle down there's no need to rush

Aaron:yeah but-

Asta:we'll find them and the sooner we finish the sooner we get home so don't worry

Aaron:ok

Asta:let's move

As they were walking asta and Aaron started talking

Asta:so how's life back at the clover

Aaron:it's really great, I have amazing aunts and uncles, a lot of friends to play with although one of them is always weird around me

Asta:really how so?

Aaron:well she's-

Asta:oh it's a girl what's her name and is she you know....your girlfriend, [nudges Aaron with elbow]

Aaron:[blushes] her names Gwen and no dad she's not, she moody she's sometimes nice to me and sometime mean I can never tell what's her deal

Asta:[chuckles] so how'd you meet her?

Aaron:well it was when i was 8, I was walking around the capital when I saw her arguing with her siblings telling her how out of the three of them she was the weakest, she ran of crying and bumped into me, we talked and soon we became friends although it's a weird friendship

Asta:[chuckles] i had a similar experience when I meet your mom

Aaron:really mom never told me how you guys meet, can you tell me?

Asta:well i meet your mom when I first joined the magic knights and like this Gwen she was very mean at first but there was a reason I'm sure your mom told you about her childhood right

Aaron shakes his no

Aaron:that's something I've asked mom about but she's never told me, all I've been told is that you made her life better

Asta:[sighs] well your mother never had a great childhood, her childhood was full of torture by her siblings because they believed she was the cause for your grandmother's death.....but she wasn't that was lie to cover up what really happened, and because of that lie it she was hated and abused and it broke and she wasn't able to control magic because of it and even that brought her constant mockery, torture, fear, and sadness never living the life someone of her age should have lived

Aaron:I never knew mom went through so much I though mom lived a good life

Asta:yeah me too, when I first meet her she was really mean to me and my seniors I just though it was because she was a royal but I was wrong, when I saw first hand how her brothers and sister treated her I just.....wanted to protect her until she became strong enough to protect herself and it didn't take long for that to happen for her to control her magic and became as strong as she did was amazing to see happen

Aaron:and it was all because of you

Asta:what do you mean?

Aaron:mom always told me she became strong because you made her strong

Asta:[smiles] she may say that but no she's wrong the one that made Noelle strong was herself I just simply believed she could and i was right

Aaron:[smiles] so what lie was mom used for to cover up?

Asta:ummm, that's a story for another time

Aaron:what?! but i want to know

Asta:nope sorry can't tell you

Aaron:no fair

The rest of the they spend looking for the demon they need to kill, they just kill the minions that demon sends out, when they go back to Asta's house they fall asleep to rest for the next day
