The evening sun cast long shadows over the road leading to the village near Hillsbrad Foothills. A young boy, no older than seven, stumbled forward with trembling steps. His ragged clothes hung loosely on his frail frame, barely providing any protection from the biting cold. Hunger gnawed at his stomach, and exhaustion weighed heavily upon his weary limbs.
As the boy trudged forward, the lights of the village beckoned, offering a glimmer of hope amidst his desperate journey. With every faltering step, his resolve wavered, but a flicker of determination kept him moving forward.
Finally, the boy reached the outskirts of the village, his chest heaving with labored breaths. The flickering glow of hearth fires danced in the windows, promising warmth and comfort. But his strength failed him, and with a final gasp, he collapsed onto the cobblestone street, his consciousness slipping away.
Unbeknownst to the young boy, fate had other plans in store for him. Bartholomew, the old farmer known for his kind heart and deep connection with nature, happened to be passing by on his way back from the fields. Startled by the sight of the unconscious child, Bartholomew rushed to his side, his weathered hands cradling the boy's head.
"Oh, dear child, what has befallen you?" Bartholomew asked the young boy as he tries to make the boy drink water from his canteen.
Gently, Bartholomew lifted the boy into his arms, his heart brimming with concern. He carried the fragile figure back to his farmhouse, laying him down on a soft bed, and tended to him with utmost care. For days, Bartholomew nursed the boy back to health, providing nourishment, warmth, and the gentle touch of a father's love.
As the boy regained consciousness, his eyes fluttered open, meeting the gaze of Bartholomew, who had become his savior and guardian. Davion blinked in confusion, taking in his surroundings and the face of the man who had rescued him.
"Where... where am I?" Davion asked the kind stranger who helped him.
"You're safe, my boy. You've had a difficult journey, but you're with me now." Bartholomew answered. He was smiling with gladness that the young boy has finally recovered.
"Who are you? Why did you help me?" Davion's voice trembled, filled with a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty.
Bartholomew's eyes softened, his voice filled with warmth. "I am Bartholomew, a farmer who happened upon you when you were on the brink of collapse. It was my duty to help, to offer aid to those in need."
Davion's eyes filled with tears, overcome by the kindness bestowed upon him. "I... I don't remember anything."
Bartholomew's heart ached at the boy's words, his resolve strengthening. "Don't you worry, Davion. Sometimes life deals us a difficult hand, but what matters is that we have a chance to start anew. You're safe now, and we'll figure things out together."
"Thank you, Bartholomew. I'm grateful for your kindness." Davion's fragile frame relaxed, a glimmer of trust in his eyes.
Bartholomew smiled, his voice warm and reassuring. "No need to thank me, boy. You're welcome here. Consider this place your home from now on. We'll make sure you're taken care of."
Years passed, and Davion grew under the loving guidance of Bartholomew. The once frail and lost boy had transformed into a strong and determined young man. He spent his days working on the farm, tending to the crops, and honing his physical strength through laborious tasks.
Davion dreamed of becoming a soldier and it never wavered. He dedicated every spare moment to training himself in the ways of combat. Under the guidance of Bartholomew, he learned the basics of swordsmanship and practiced tirelessly, honing his skills with unwavering determination.
Bartholomew, though initially hesitant about Davion's aspirations andwanting him to be a farmer, recognized the fire within the young man's heart and supported his ambitions. He became Davion's mentor, teaching him not only the art of warfare but also the importance of discipline, compassion, and respect.
As the years went by, Davion's physical prowess grew, and he became known in the village for his strength and resilience. He would often participate in local competitions, showcasing his skills and earning the admiration of his fellow villagers.
One day, as Davion was returning from the fields, a group of bandits ambushed him on the outskirts of the village. Unfazed by their threat, Davion drew his sword, his eyes blazing with determination.
"Hand over your valuables, boy, or prepare to meet your end!" The Bandit Leader, formidable looking as he was, has a remarkably loud voice.
Davion stood tall, his voice filled with unwavering resolve. "I will not let you harm the innocent. Prepare yourselves!"
