Cale is now 9 years old, he' spende a whole year with Eruhaben now and he's more happier than ever.The older boy has shown him things that he never thought existed, treasures that could only been found in books and treasures that he never imagined possible, he has introduced him many things that are unknown to him, so much more than a human is supposed to know and so much more than he had expected.
The boy also met more animals in that time than ever before and he has gained a lot of knowledge that would make a good scientist.
He still doesn't feel like being a scientist though. He prefers being an explorer.
That's why he was running through the woods in his bare feet.He wanted to see the forest for himself.
As always, he heard noises and voices, sounds of fighting, screams.
He quickly hid behind a tree just before two monsters entered the clearing in front of him. One was male and the other female.They were battling fiercely with claws and teeth, their faces twisted in anger.
He watched carefully as they continued to attack each other and suddenly the female one fell. She started moving but was quickly attacked again and then collapsed on her knees.
The monster then turned his head towards the young boy hiding under the tree and roared.A terrifying roar tore through the silent forest and scared the boy almost to death. But fortunately, he was able to calm his beating heart after he realized that he hadn't seen the monster come closer.
The young boy decided to continue looking but suddenly a voice called out to him."hey there little guy!"
"Hey!".
The boy turned his head and saw a man approaching him with a huge smile on his face.
"Are you lost?"
asked the man walking closer.
'? In the foresta of darkness? Is this man stupid?'
"no... I just got curious"
Cale responded smiling.
"curious about what? The sky?"
asked the man with a strange tone in his voice.
The boy didn't know what he meant so he nodded his head in reply.
"so you are an explorer eh?"
The man was smiling widely while showing him his , Cale was afraid for a second and was about to turn and run away from the man when he felt something poking him on the back.
It was Eruhaben coming to the rescue.
"don't be frightened"
said the dragon and gently rubbed the boy's arm making it tingle
"there are no dangerous beasts here, I promise"
Cale nodded slowly but was not convinced
Eruhaben turned to look at the man with the beard and said"my son is no beast but I "
he pointed at Cale and the boy shrunk down
"my son isn't scared of anything, right Cale?"
said the dragon placing both his hands on the boys shoulders.
Cale blushed furiously but he couldn't take his eyes off of the man standing in front of him.The man looked at him and laughed happily at the cute reaction of the child
"I can tell you're pretty brave kid"
Said the man patting the boys back before leaving them alone.
