The boy without magic

Chapter 2

Astas Pov;
Mom. Mommy. My eyes slightly open, I'm not sure what happened. My head hurts, it's completely throbbing right now. Something in me feel horrible, but I don't know why. I get up to notice that I was sleeping in.. moms bed? I can smell fish being made, I love fish almost as much as tatoes from the village. I get up from my mothers bed to go downstairs, I'm still not sure why I woke up on moms bed but I'll just ask her. I go downstairs expecting to see Mom and Liebe, but instead I see two other people. I thought we couldn't have guests over due to my mothers curse? "Who are you? And where's my mom?" I ask slightly nervous because I never have seen these people before. "Asta, you're awake!" Said a feminine voice. I look up to see the womans face and she looks a lot like mom, but her eyes are blue and her nose is a little different. "Do you know me? And you still haven't told me where my mom is." I said a little annoyed. When I said that I saw that she froze a bit, was I being rude? Mom said if I'm ever unintentionally rude I should apologize, but right before I was gonna apologize the woman said "I'm sorry Asta." I saw tears come out of her eyes, I was getting confused. Why was she sorry? She hasn't done anything bad. My thoughts were cut off by her saying "Asta. I'm sorry to tell you, but... Mom is no longer with us." She said with her voice breaking and her approaching me. I felt her embrace me into a hug, I remember this hug. The hug was the same one I felt when... I know what she's sorry for. Flashbacks of seeing my mother get pierced by my brothers controlled arm invade my mine. Tears come out at a uncontrollable pace. I remember now, but why. Words can't come out of my mouth, I'm so in shock at what happened. I always said I'm gonna become the Wizard King to protect everyone, and I can't even protect my own mother. The promise I made to my mother of letting her see the capital and us living in the castle all gone. Unfulfilled. I start to sob while returning the hug, "Why" I managed to say. "Mommy. Mommy" I repeated. I can't even articulate a proper sentence, "Asta, please calm down. Mommy is in a better place now" the kind woman said. I don't know who this woman is, but she's a lot like mom. I continue to sob on her shoulder letting everything out, after crying everything out I feel somewhat better. The pain of losing my mother still hurts me, but at least I had someone's shoulder to cry on. "Here, my partner made some dinner" she said. I looked over at the kitchen table, to see a tall man with silver hair and blue eyes putting down 3 plates of fish. If I'm being honest I wasn't hungry, but my m-mom told me that I should never waste food. All 3 of us sat at the table and ate, I could barely eat because I barely had an appetite at the moment. My lack of eating was noticed by both of them, but the gray haired woman decided to cut of my fish and fed it to me. "Come on, I understand you're not feeling like eating, but you've been asleep for almost a whole day. A boy like you needs to eat." She said. "But I'm not hung-" I was cut off by my stomach growling. The gray haired woman only looked at me with a small smile and brought the fork closer to my mouth. I gave in and took a bite. After eating dinner I finally asked "Who are you people. I understand that you helped me, but why?". "Asta, I understand that you're curious, but know this. What we will say is completely true and as crazy as it may sound we are being completely honest, okay?" The woman said. I nodded my head to show that I understood. "My name is Ridder(pronounced ree-der)Silva" said the silver haired man. "And my name is Ilu Staria, I am your sister." Said the woman now known as Ilu. When she said that I was in disbelief, I couldn't think right. I HAD A SISTER? Why didn't my mom tell me? "If you're my sister then why didn't you live with us?!" I asked suspicious that she was lying. "Because of her curse." She stated. She knew about her curse? "You're father was looking for a cure for her condition, but.." Ilu paused "but, he passed away almost 4 years ago." She finished. I couldn't say anything. I only look down sad knowing I had a father I could never meet. "You're father loved you very much Asta. When we found out about your birth our father was jumping and dancing around the house." She said with some nostalgia and a smile. "I know you're sad right now Asta, but we need to give mother a proper burial now." She said with sadness. My brain couldn't handle all of this information, so much has been going on recently. My mothers death, knowing that I have a older sister, knowing that I had a father who loved me but I could never meet. "O-okay." I managed to say. I wore the best clothing I had, which was these beige pants and black T-shirt. My mother could never go shopping, so I had to do it myself. She always said that my choice of clothing was immature, I never knew what she meant by that clothes are clothes as long as they're covering my body I don't see a problem. I walk back downstairs to see no one,  so I assume that they're outside waiting for me. I leave through the front door and see a coffin, I assume it's my mothers. Ridder uses his magic to make a giant eagle and carries the coffin, he takes my sisters hands and helps her up and waves his hand telling me to get on. Ridder picks me up and puts me on my sisters lap, while she holds me tight hugging me. I like it when she hugs me, it feels like mom is hugging me.
