will of a failure

the light

A few days had passed seemingly in the blink of an eye the boy still hadn't said much, but the few words he said were all thank you the boy found himself in a moderately sized mansion the mansion of the mayor. The boy had spent most of his time in a guest bedroom to the boy. This was the first time he'd seen a place like this from the inside. From what he'd learned mostly from sten was that the were in a small port town known as wartly and the reason they were here was some kind of attacks and ubduction on the citizens of the port lilly was the daughter of the regional lord and sten was her fiance and the son of a neighboring lord. Surprisingly to the boy the woman who was the reason he was here had hardly paid mind to him in fact she had no interaction with him outside of showing him off as some sort of trophy but sten on the other hand had put in effort not only to get to know the boy but helped him get healthier making him do stretches and some attempts at push ups. The boy walked out of his room to see Richard, the driver, standing in the hall, an impatient look on his face. Kid, im here to clean you up that foolish sten has decided to adopt you. After the little diplomatic deals are done here, you will be going with him. Richard brought him to him down the stairs and to a calobbled path beside it was a station with multiple wemon in servants clothes with sheets hung behind them and a stool in front of them the looked at Richard and the boy frowning one of the wemon looked at Richard and quickly usherd him over. The woman put her hand on the boy forcing him on the stool she then grabbed a pair of dull scissors for several minutes she was cutting the boys hair down to size before adding a gell substance into it styling it to the side the boy had long since been bathed and givin decent clothing he was now in small black leather shoes black pants and a white button up shirt made of cotton. The boy still looked emaciated, but he was no longer starving, and he was clean at this point his appearance was alright. You could hardly tell he was ever an urchin. After his little makeover he went back into his room until it was time for dinner when he left down on the first floor their was a dining room a circular table with ten or so chairs around it an older man with black hair and a semi-formal attire was sitting down with Lilly and sten. He sat down on the table, and a servant came up to him with a plate, setting it in front of him on it was a fish with a salad side dish. The mayor stared at the boy before shaking his head so lily that your father was going to send some men from his force to deal with those cultists right. She looked to the side while playing with her food. Maybe he would maybe he won't.  The mayor was fuming, gripping his silver wear before calming down and sighing. I've offered the best best trades I can any lower, and my merchants will kill me themselves, plus this in your territory, please. Sten looked at the mayor before stating we would send some troops to deal with this problem, but from my territory, it's going to take a months time. Dissatisfied and annoyed, the trio sat silent for the rest of the meal. Once it was over sten looked at the boy and said well kid pretty soon, you'll be part of my family.
