The Ventus

Prologue

3135/6/13

In a large room, there's a big desk in front of an enormous window. you can see a village from the window. On the desk, there're piles of paperwork on there. In front of the desk, there are two sofas and a table in between them. And, if you look closely you will be able to see a man who is working on the pile of paperwork, focused.

*knock knock*

"Come in." a grey-haired man answers as a blued haired youth quietly opens the door, bows then closes the door.

"Good morning lord Seth. " the blue-haired man greets politely.

"Morning Finn. So today is your first day being the vice-patriarch. " Seth stops working and looks up at Finn, who immediately bows, " Indeed, please advise me if I do anything wrong. "

"Hm... '' Seth replies as he looks down and continues working on his paperwork, " So, what's our schedule today? "

"We should be meeting the new members of the pre-six warriors in 45 minutes, introducing them about what they need to do as future warriors of the Ventum. " Finn pauses, as if he remembers something, " Oh, I heard that lord Seth found an orphan and adopted him, and he is one of the new member, am I correct? "

"Yes, so do your son Ethen. "

"Indeed. "

"... " Seth stops his paperwork, frowns and looks worried.

" Lord Seth, are you alright? " Finn worriedly questions as Seth nods hesitantly.

" Well... " Seth explains, " I am just worrying about my grandson... he is... "

---

"Hack... hack... " a pale, grey-haired little boy sits on a bench that is next to the patriarch's room, coughing nonstop.

" So, firstly we will be talking about rules as pre-six warriors, then... " Finn opens the door and leaves the room with Seth following at the back. He stops talking as he sees the little boy who seems like he is going to be out of breath.

"Is this kid alright-" Seth bends down next to the kid and looks after him before Finn finishes his sentence.

" Alfhere, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay at home before I come? " Seth searches his pocket and gets a glass bottle with a few pills in it.

'Oh, so he is the mysterious kid who is adopted by lord Seth. I heard that only some people from Centrum have seen him before...' Finn thinks.

" Finn, bring me a glass of water from my office. " Seth orders as Finn runs into the office. Seth then takes out one of the pill and passes it to Alfhere. Finn gives the glass of water to Alfhere, then he takes the medicine.

The boy calms down after a few minutes, breathing normally. Seth sighs in relief and part his head.

" Wow, this is my first time seeing lord Seth looking this worried... "Finn seems excited because of figuring something new, at the same time feeling glad that the boy who named Alfhere is alright.

" Alfhere, this is Finn, the vice-patriarch of Ventum. Greet nicely. " Seth sounds straight. Alfhere looks up at Seth, nods then bows, " Lord Finn, I am Alfhere, nice to meet you. "

Finn crouches down and part his head, smiling, " Nice to meet you Alfhere, how old are you now? "

"I am six years old. " Alfhere answers after hesitating.

"All the members of pre-six warriors are six to seven years old. " Seth slightly sighs as Finn makes an embarrassing smile.

'This boy is much more mature compared to my son, and a lot of people are the same age as him... Now I start worrying whether my son is qualified to be the member of pre-six warriors... ' Finn thinks to himself as he stands up.
