Chapter 12 from boy to Man.

Years went by so quickly. Like summer turns into winter, and then turns into spring once more.

The children turning into teens, and teens turning to young adulthood.

The young Steve growing day by day. Learning his heritage of his people. Going to the same spot everyday, coming home showing what he as learned to beloved mother and father.

There was peace in the village.

Although the storm was not that far off.

•••

Sunset was beautiful in the eyes of Steve's.
Sitting on the roof watching he favorite time of evening. The colors of orange, pinks, purples, with a hint of yellow. Green trees and hug mountains in the background, just perfect.

Steve watches with out end.
Then something hit that Sid of his face. Laughing start from below.

He looks down and low and behold. The old village trouble makers.

Steve touch his cheek and felt and slimy felt stuff.
To see in his hands it was egg yolk.
He looks at it and the then use his other hand to whip the rest off. "You know this is getting really old you know". Steve scolds and not making eye contact. He whips the rest on his dark blue pants, and light grayish blue shirt with a brown shoulder back over him.

Larry throws another egg to which Steve dogged it by lowing his head. The watch it land on the other side of his house.

Steve groans, then starts to slid himself off the his roof to the ground which both feet.

"You guys know your just wasting those eggs right".
Steve points to Jeffery

"All the more reasons to throw at some freak like you". Jeffery throw one at Steve which some how catches with one hand and throws it back at the face. Jeffery falls on his but in shock while his goons laughed at him.

Steve walks off not won't to join the childish gang.
"Hey I am not down with you Stonecutter"! Jeffery yelled.

Steve stops and throws middle finger at Jeffery. Then he continues walk inside of his house with a small smile on his face to which he won which style.

Close the door behind him to have a sense of home and the humming tune of his mother in the kitchen making dinner, Making his mouth water with hunger. Walking into the house and into a while build kitchen that he build a while back.

Watching her stare into the pot, that is on top of the smoker, giving off the heat as she stirring dinner.

"Mmm~, smells good mom". Walking to her and stops to give a kiss on the cheek".
"What is it"?

She hummed

"Rabbit stew". She chirped, Still focusing on the stew.
"Can you set the table son". Then there was a thump at the window behind the sink. Both Steve at his mother turn there head at to see egg yolks all over the glass. To both annoyed and back to stirring and the other grabbing bowls and spoons, while evil laughter is found outside.

"Them boys are so annoying. There parents seem to not care about tree behavior why there younger and now look at them now. Grown man causing trouble". She puts her hands on her hips while looking at the food that was cooking.
"Hey Steve I have a surprise for you". She smiled at me. That when I know that it's going to be really cool.

She put the pot of stew on the middle of the table. Then leads me into her and dads room. A red bed in the middle of the room with two night stands on either side of the bed with candles on top.
Mom kneeled down to grab something under the bed which appeared to be a box.

I kneeled beside her curious of what kind of surprise she had I store.

"My son, I must confess. The book that you been learning your true origins, I may have peaked in it. Watch I thought there so much thing u have learned and grown to be who you are".  She looked at me with a smile but still. The she reach for my goggles that rested on my head, then she pulled them gently off and put them on the floor.

"Sweetie I don't want you to be bound to the village ways, but instead be free. So my gift to you is something I picked up from your book is something your people wear to symbol there uniqueness to the world". She puts the box on my lap. I looked at there to see anything that forbids me to open it. Although I am very interested it what she made.

So with hesitation I start to open the lid, which reveals a soft felt, teal T-shirt also a very tough material that can never be out worn. It proves that she had read some pages of the book cause this it the way my people really made cloth to brave any elements.
Taking out the shirt and reveal long dark blue pants, socks, dark gray short boots, and a brown belt.

"Mom this is so cool I don't know what to say, I want to make some but my attempt are nothing compared to this".  I put the box and stuff down, the went to hug my mother that is everything to me.

To be honest after dad went to take the job as a wondering trader. It was never been the same since he only comes by like once a month. I miss him. But now i will promise to keep my mom safe.

"Your welcome my son. Now stop and go try it on my little creative one".
We separated from the hug.  
then went to my room to try my new stuff.
Am I excited. Yes.

I came out and wearing my teal shirt, dark blue pants, shoes, and a belt that will be easy to hold my pickaxe or my iron sword.

My mom finished filling up our bowls with dinner, the she puts her hands over mouth still watching with tears starting to form in her eyes of happiness and pride.
"Well my lord notch, my son turn into a fine young man". She wipes a tear from her cheek. I walk over and gave a comforting hug. Now thinking how I can't wait to show dad and make him proud as always, but even more this time.
