That's life

Chapter 4

I, Cole Diaz, was now truly scared what the man in front of me would say next. He was big, tall and very muscular. His armour was shiny and looked like nothing could destroy it. Never. The knoght was so intimidating.
"Where are your parents little one? You're here all by yourself. It's dangerous!"
"I-", I wanted to answer the truth but I truly didn't really even know how I even got here. "I've been running and passed out at some point. I don't know where I am or even reallt where I came from, cause the few houses I would call village, my home, it doesn't have a name. I am lost!" I said so desperate for some help and I wanted to start crying so hard at this poinr.
"It's okay! You're safe now!" the guy in front of me said and carefully reached out his hand to take mine.
"I'm gonna take you in and we'll see if your parents miss you. It's alright now, you're safe with me. I'm one of the best knights that the kingdom has ever seen. At least that's what the kimg said." he said, shrugging and at the same time smiling at me. I could feel that guy was good. He couldn't harm someone he knew was innocent or deserved better. I felt better. His warmth in his arms.. on his horse.. it comforted me.

*time skip*

That knight, the brave and pure hearted man that once upon a time saved this little boy from the dark woods now became an older and braver and more wise man than the old king himself. And most importantly... he became....

my Dad!
Yes! He just took me in and when I turned ten years old he told me I was like the son he never had and he was the dad I never had I returned. We were the best duo the world had ever seen! Nobody could defeat us!

On my 12th birthday my son called secret which was even almost a secret to me was revealed. The one that could cost me and my dad the head if it came out. My.. magic. I blew out the candles with my mind somehow. I couldn't even realise it at first but now it's all clear. My dad always supported me and he kept our secret always no matter what. He's the best dad I could ever wish for and oh boy am I grateful to have him.

Now I am 17 and I am also training to become a knight. I am almost as good as him with the sword but with my magic, what I rarely use though. I would be so unbeatable. I'd love to use magic more often. I felt free when I did and I never wanted to stop. I could help people with it. All of the poor and innocent ones that lived with the bare minimum on the eadge day by day. But NO! I can't, because everyone who dared to practice magic would be beheaded right on the spot. Still I did it everyday. Alot, even. I loved it. It felt amazing. It felt like home. I wish the king could understand.
Someday.. my dad kept saying.. someday.
