I had forgoten that I hadn't eaten all day until I saw the goats. We took one alive and one already prepared with spices.
Returning wasn't easy with all the stuff that we carried.
When we got back home l was out of breath.My tiredness vanished when I saw my best friend, Nick.
He was my very first friend. Since we were children we were inseparable . His family were oligarchs and poor. So he wasn't able to go to school and study. Nonetheless , he was a good warrior. He liked to duel, I always lost. He had black short hair and dark brown eyes.
He had grown taller since the last time I saw him. And he had started to develop muscles. Wow. When will I get muscles?
He sat there near my cousins. He was very shy but he got along with Zoe and strangely with John too. They had a lot in common but he was a thousand times a better person. He cared about others, helped whenever he could. His best trait was his humor. We always laughed when we were together, especially with Anna too. The last three years we met with each other almost every day. We made a good team.
It took him a while to see me but when he did he stopped everything. He started running and tackled me.
"Happy birthday brother" he said.
"Why always me? Get up you are smashing me".
"I am not that fat. You are just skinny ". He said
"I missed this".
"I was gone for only two weeks " he said
"I know, but you are my best friend ".
" Alexander, I am your only friend" he said laughing.
" It's my birthday. Why is everyone insulting me and beating me up."
"This is the way". ( Mandalorian fans unite)
"Ooookay " not even a little sympathy. ts ts ts"You are finally a man".
He was 4 months older. So he had already turned 13
"Yeah" I said, with a not so manly tone." Because you are my best friend... He started
"Only friend" I corrected.
"Because you are my only friend, I got you three presents.
Wowwwww.
Yeaaaahh.
"Wow thank you so much""I made them myself." He continued.
"Ohhh nooo" I said and he immediately punched me.
We laughed.
"Rude" we said in unison.
We laughed harder.
"Don't worry. My dad helped me." he consulted me
"Ohh thank gods." I teased.
"If you continue I am not going to give them to you." Nick threatened.
"Okay, okay."We went back to were he was sitting. He picked up a beautiful bow and said "It's yours." It had a bright color. Almost golden. There were a few curved animals on the inner side and on the outside, where the others looked, were three small suns on the upper side and three half-moons on the lower part.
Day and night.
Apollo and Artemis.
The handle was from deerskin like my breastplate.
