Alaric Greyrat: The Mysterious Reincarnation

Chapter 15 - Departure.

Alaric is seen explaining the situation to August, Lilia, and Flute. Their eyes widened, awed and in horror, the secret Alaric kept about him being an Adventurer was finally out, so...

"I know many trade techniques. I will... Just need some money, time, maybe some land... I may look old... But I promise you in the name of the Greyrats... I will repay you for your boy's actions." Sauros bowed once more, having lost his dignity, he didn't care. He just needed time.

"... So... You truly don't know what happened to the civilians of Fittoa?" Lilia wondered as Sauros shook his head,

"I am sorry, caretakers of Alaric." Sauros apologized once more, as Augusta smirked,

"Why don't you help me out in my dojo? It has gotten VERY popular among the younglings! I'm sure having a man who can scream as loud as you can can ensure they're properly doing their exercises while I head out, what do you say?" Augusta wondered as Sauros nodded,

"I'll do the best that I can until the day I die." Sauros places a fist over his chest, showing he is bound to this family until he dies.

"Now that that's settled... Apologies for my intrusion, but Alaric will have to come with me." Suddenly Ariel walked in, and the three were a bit shocked, never in their life would the princess herself grace herself in THEIR HOME.

"Princess Ariel!" The three were shocked, as Ariel looked...

"It's a pleasure meeting you, Lilia." Ariel greeted her once maid and guard, as Lilia's eyes widened,

"P-Princess..." Lilia didn't think she'd remember...

"... Seems your leg is still in rough shape. I am sorry that it wasn't healed since our last encounter with one another." Ariel says as Lilia shakes her head,

"Please... Don't thank me. I was merely a guard who was let off easy." Lilia apologizes as...

"What about our son's promise, Princess? He is to train with Reida Reia when he's 15-"

"I have explained this to him. He will have over 3 years to return and I will supply him with an education beyond what a mere academy can provide. Books, math, literature, all of these will be provided as well as his debt to me for taking him out of a lifelong servitude to Darius." Ariel explained as Sauros was silent, this boy saved him even though he would be in a situation like that...

...

...

...

But soon, they departed. Alaric looking back, sighs.

"I believe... Some introductions are at hand." Suddenly the brown-haired boy says, introducing himself,

"I am Luke Nortos Greyrat. I am the knight of Princess Ariel. Here is Silent Fitz, her court mage for our years coming up at Ranoa. You will be required to stay alongside us for the time Ariel is out and about, no running away from us, she'll know, and you will be using your strength to protect her with your LIFE. Your adventuring will end right now, boy." Luke intimidates him, but Ariel chuckles,

"Please, you saw how skilled the boy is! I would doubt you can beat him in a real sword match." Ariel shows her comfortable side, as Luke grunts, turning away as Alaric stares at... Fitz? Yeah, Fitz. His hair was white as snow and he had...

"If you don't mind... But aren't elves... Not around here? I remembered Asura being an all-human kingdom." Alaric questions, the boy turning away as Ariel wondered to herself for a bit... Before explaining,

"Fitz merely saved my life when I was younger. I am returning him the favor by keeping him hidden as he travels with us to Ranoa." Ariel explained, as Luke seems about 13 or more years old...
