Battle Scars

/Have any ideas of something I should write? Comment it down below!/

Grayson and Drake walk into a town stopping for some supplies. "Leave me alone!" They both hear a kid yell. On instinct they rush over to find two teenagers beating up a much younger boy. "I haven't done anything to you!" The young boy yells at his attackers. "Well with how ugly your scar is it's hurting me!" The teenager with blond hair says back. "I'll grab the kid he's hurt, I'll try to heal him a bit, I have a heath potion on me. You go have a talk with the bullies." Grayson looks at Drake who explains his plan. They both draw their sword and come out from behind the buildings. So now there were standing at the end of the ally like area. "Get off of him now!" Grayson yells at the teenagers. Just looking at the commander and mage they knew something bad was going to happen if they didn't back off. They both stand up and walk away from the kid. Drake and Grayson now get a better look at the boy. He had brown hair and only stood at a bit over four feet. The scar The other kids had mentioned was one going from the top of his eye to the bottom. "Kid come here." Drake was putting out his hand for the child to take. He hesitantly takes the hybrid's hand and they walk a bit away but still in eye sight. So if anything was to go south Drake could quickly help Grayson. "Now why in hell would you think it was a good thing to beat up someone that your probably twice more older then?" Grayson questions sounding extremely mad. "With how ugly that scar is it must be against some law." The teenager with black hair taunts. "Kid I have more scars then I can count, each one has a story behind it. If anything scars should be something to symbolize strength. Because behind each there is pain." Grayson explains. "Okay then what dumb story is behind that scar!" The teenager with blond hair asks taunting. He is pointing at the scar on Drake's leg. Drake looks at the bully then at his leg and as bad memories start to flood him he looks back towards the child. "He was shot with an arrow with enough poison on it to kill ten humans." Grayson says back coldly. "How is he even alive?" The teenager with black hair questions in awe. "When you look at a scar don't make fun of the person. It's just proof that they are trying to win the impossible game of staying alive in this world filled with darkness. Think of them like battle scars." Grayson says back. As Drake looks back at the young child, he decides on what to do. "Come on I'll bring you home, those jerks shouldn't mess with you again." Drake explains calmly to the child. "I live in the orphanage." The boy responds back in a embarrassed tone of voice. "Do you want me to tell you a secret?" Drake asks as the child led him to the orphanage. "What?" He says back in a curious tone of voice. "I don't have a mom or dad either." Drake explains. Back with the teenagers Grayson continues to talk to them. "And some of these battle scars you can't see on their skin."
