The Green Wolf Warrior

Chapter 9: Past problems

11 Years ago

In the middle of a field, a little girl no older than 10 runs through the flowers as her adorable giggle can be heard. Her long red hair flowing behind her as she tumbles into the grass and looks up to the sky. Her eyes as blue as the sky shine bright as she opens them towards the sun.
She runs her little hands over her face and brushes her hair away. Her long elf ears twitch as a shadow quickly covers her. A slight shriek is heard followed by laughter.
"Tap out Nania, Admit I got you!" A male voice is heard from the shadow that has captured the little girl. She taps on the back  of this shadow and her laughter is stopped as the shadow sits up and a hood falls off his head.
His shoulder length red hair, same as the little girls, glistens in the sun light. His long ears covered in jewelry poke out from under his hair, and he looks down at her with his Green eyes and smiles at her. He looked no older than maybe 25.
"You are a jerk Damin!" The little girl folds her arms across her chest and huffs.
Damin raises an eyebrow at her and then goes back in and starts tickling her again.
"Oh you are going to call me a jerk? You were suppose to hide remember!" Damin says as he picks her up off the ground and lifts her above his head into the air. She smiles down at him and pushes her arms and legs out making her body form a star shape and her green cloak billows in the wind. She giggles as she looks down at him and smiles.
"Ok, Sorry I forgot we were playing!" She keeps laughing as he lowers her to the ground.
"Damin! Nania! Its dinner time!" A females voice is heard on the other end of the field which catches their attention. Damin smiles as he stands up quickly.
"Last one home has to be the others maid for a week!" He quickly zooms towards the voice that called out to them.
"Not fair! You have longer legs than I do!" She calls out to him as she tries to run after him as fast as she could.

Damin and Nania make it to a cabin on the side of the field. A woman with light red hair with white streaks in it showing her age. She smiles as she greets the two of them.
"Hello mother!" Damin says as he walks past the woman. Nania quickly hugs the woman and smiles.
"Hi Mama!" She giggles as a smile forms across the womans face.
"Hello my little princess!" She says as she pats Nania's head. "Dinner is on the table, let me just get your Father, Dihna and Nikos out here and we will join you!" She walks away towards the stairs of the house.
Nania and Damin walk to the table and sit next to each other as they wait for the others to join them.
A small boy who looks about the same age as Nania comes hopping down the stairs. His short red hair and light blue eyes that seem to match Nania's. He runs over to the table and sits across from Nania and starts pouring water into his glass.
"Nikos, you should have come out with us! It was fun playing Adventurers!" Nania says and giggles as she starts putting food on her plate.
The little boy rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "I would rather read and keep up my studies. Which you should be doing to Nania, our teacher is going to be angry!" Nikos sounds fully bothered.
Then a tall girl gracefully walks down the stairs and her hair is half tied up. She wears a pink dress that is form fitting to her shape. Her Green eyes land upon the table of her siblings and she smiles. Her smile looks like it should come with angelic singing. She looked about 15 years old and just ethereal.
"Oh hey Dihna!" Damin says as he looks back after she had descended the stairs. She joins them at the table and looks up as two more figures come down the stairs.
Their Mother followed by a man with dark red hair and Green eyes comes down the stairs. Once his face is in full view of the four kids a smile forms across his face.
"This is what I love to see so much. My entire family all at one table!" He places his hand upon his wifes shoulder and gives her a kiss on the cheek as they join the family at the table.

Nania sat in her bedroom as her mother stood behind her brushing her hair. Nania was sewing a something as her and her mother casually talked.
"Is that for Damin's Birthday?" Her mother asked pointing down at the Green fabric in Nania's lap.
Nania holds it up and its a nice Green and Gold tunic with a hand stitched symbol of the Kingdom on the left side of the chest.
"Yeah! I was hoping he would wear it on his first day as a Knight!" Nania lowered it back into her lap with a sweet smile across her face.
Damin was getting to that age where he wanted to leave his families home and do something with himself. He decided to enlist in the Kingdoms military and become a Knight. Nania's mother stepped back to admire her work of art she did in Nania's hair. She braided Nania's hair in a crown around her head and also braided in some flowers to make it beautiful.
"See there is my sweet princess, maybe one day your brother will be your personal Knight!" Her mother smiled as she hugged her tight. Nania giggles and places one of her hands on the side of her mothers face.
Nania enjoyed the moments she spent with her mother. Her mother adored her sweet little girl because Nania was the only child who would let her just do whatever she wanted to her hair, face or dress her however. Nania was her mothers own personal doll. Dihna grew out of that phase when she was 6 and started doing everything herself.
Nania placed the tunic in a box to her left on the floor and she would work on it later. She stood up in the Green dress that she wore. She loved the color Green as it reminded her of Damin's eyes. If there was anyone she adored as much as her mother, it was her brother Damin.
"Alright Nania, its time to meet Nikos so you can go to your studies!" Her mother lightly taps on her back and pushes her towards the stairs. Nania rolls her eyes, if there is anything she hates its doing school work. She even doesnt like the fact that her twin brother is smarter and such a school buff. She would rather be out in the field with Damin helping him practice for his knight training and playing Adventurer with him.
