A Brat's Change

Mistake

   

"Alex just join the knights." The woman said impatiently. "No," I said. "Why would I join those assholes, they use their status to have sex with people. For the glory of mankind." as they would say. "Alex then how are you making money?" Said the woman. "The same way as my mother does," I respond with a monotone voice. "ALEX" I got slapped for that one, I then leave the room.

My mother was a prostitute, sleeping with men all day. I grew up with the sounds of moaning and the smell of the different scented lubes. My mother only saw me as something that could be sold on the black market but I could've cared less, so I ran away as fast as I could at the age of 5. The woods were my home for years and the reason why I could use ether so well. I found out that if you were to put yourself in a near-death situation you could learn ether so I did. The next morning I drowned myself in the river and when I woke up the whole forest was ablaze.

Lucas age 8I wake up with sweat all over me. "what was that dream." I rushed out of bed to go into the backyard. The brick path was as good as new and my core level was almost at solid yellow. I just had learned gravity magic which was amazing I could make myself heavier without gaining weight. I now keep gravity magic on while training, it helps out a lot my reflexes are amazing without using lighting magic.

I go outside for a walk and I want to see around the area. What I saw was weird it was an auburn-haired boy with a light red core. I walk up to him to say hi. "Hey," I say go up to the boy. He looks at me like I was some stuck-up rich kid. "Don't worry I'm not a brat" he then looks at me with an oh-no expression. "Hi," the boy says. "I'm Lucas and you are?" the boy responds with "Arthur that's my name." I and him talk for a short bit, he then says "Well this is my stop I hope I see you again." I say "Well see you later light red" He looks at me puzzled at the words I say. I leave with a smile on my face that says I've known the whole time.

Going back home a drunk person walks into me. "Watch where your going brat" he then pushes me down only to be rewarded with a hand placed on his shoulder. It was Barion "How dare you," Barion says with the intent to hurt the drunk "Stop he is only drunk," Barion then looks at me hesitant but I nod to show that I'm fine. Barion then comes up to me with a hand, I grab the hand and is lifted onto my feet. The rest of the way back was simple only to be stopped by me looking at some stands.
