The treasure hunts me in my dreams... I've dreamed about it for weeks...It hunts me every day too.... I wished it stopped but it hasn't.?...

I need to try find the treasure... Mum may be right tho... Granpa was longtime known for his huge imagination...

"Brother..." Anya snuggled against me.
"Yes?"
"Is the treasure real??" She asked looking up at me.
"I don't know..."
"Can I go find her?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"It's dangerous...!"
"Really? Then you do it ass!" She said and playfully hit me onto my chest.

"Well.. MaYbE I MySeLf will!" I said jokingly.
Lilly just looked over to us and face palmed herself.
Shortly after she ran up to us and jumped.
We all were a laughing chaotic group.

That night something clicked inside me....
If noone searches for it how would we ever know if it's real??.... I needed to search for the treasure....
It could help us alot... maybe we could even reach and join the upper-class and maybe we could manage to get closer links with the royals. (Demons)(btw, now a new King like 18 in Human years)

That night I made the biggest decision of my life...
Will I leave my family and risk death to reach an treasure that might be not existing or will I stay in my poor family, risking to get sold as slave to demons (thats what some of the adults do to their children, to not get eaten or not to get forced into slavery themselves by the demons) as I am the perfect age to...?

Definently not the second one, so I started by putting my stuff (wasn't that much, 2 shirts, a jacket fur-pants (sorry) and boots on. (yeah 2 shirts, it plays in a Tundra so it's cold)

I packed a blanket from a closet and a few books about magical creatures (originally borrowed from an in-town library) and an pocket knife, aswell as an bigger knife in an leather bag...

I tried to sneak out of the room, but my sisters heared...

"Where are you going?" Anya asked confused.
"Well... About that-"
"You aren't going to search the treasure, are you?" Lilly asked.
"Actually I am.." I say.
"But we need you!" Anya and Lilly hugged me not wanting to let go.
"Its best for our family!" I whispered towards them.

I told them to go to mum tomorrow and tell her I love her... the same with granpa...
They cried that night about my leaving, but I needed to go...
