My New Life

CHAPTER 13

NICHOLASS POV

I was nervous, no thats a huge understatement when I could feel my heart was about to beat out of my chest.

I was normally not like this. I was the more of a chillax kind of guy but I cant help it. I was suddenly going to one of the largest kingdom on the plant, the Ember Kingdom and I was adopted by the most powerful duke and the best knight there is in the kingdom who is a strong fire elemental.

I met him by chance at one of the poor villages that he was passing by two months ago.

I was starving and I didnt have any guardian. The only thing that was in my possession was a tiny shed that my brother made when we were young which was at the edge of the forest and the most precious belongings of the members of my clan that was entrusted to me which I buried so it wouldn't be stolen from me.

My clan was called the Enzeleo Clan, we were one of the strongest clans in the planet of Elethreal for centuries. We were the descendants of a powerful being called Enzel who had the whitest hair and the darkest blue eyes in the history of magic. He was best known for his monstrous strength and is considered as one of the most legendary fighters.

Our family were filled with various of elementals but Enzel was a dark elemental so there have been a few times that a dark elemental is born in our family but it rarely happens.

Last year, when I was four, one of the elders of our clan betrayed us. He gave up information to one group that was called the Zealex. He gave them information about our weapons, how we fight and where the riches of our clan is located in exchange for power and to make sure that my familys blood line will end and because I was the youngest son of our clan leader and only a number of people knows about my existence since the leader's only announce shows their children once they reaches 5-year old so I was protected by everyone and they all made sure that I will survive despite not knowing I existed.

It happened one night, we were having a celebration when we were suddenly attacked. There wasnt a lot of warriors guarding the forest for intruders than usually since we had our guard down which made their surprise attack successful.

Every night, I still remember everyones screams while I was hidden under a tree trunk and behind the bushes. I remember the blood that were sprayed and how they all bleed to death in front of me. I remember how everyone I know tried to smile and comfort me while telling me to run away.

During the attack, the members of our clan bought their leaders family time to say the reminders or orders that my family wanted to deliver to me. I was hysterical, I did not know what was happening until my father snapped at me.

"You are my son, remember that because I dont know any son of mine who will panic at the sight of danger." Which made me shut up.

Then, my grandfather calmed father down saying that this will be one of my last memories from them so he should not make it a bad one and slapped the back of my father's head making my brother laugh.

I was confused, 'Why were they so relax right now when people are in danger.'

Before I could ask, my grandfather started saying something.

"You are strong Nicky, of course it is because you are my grandson." Grandfather said proudly making my brother roll his eyes at him.

"Make sure to remember everything you experience in life including this for there are always hidden messages which we call a lesson and it helps guide us through our way. Do not run away." Then he ran out of the house proudly before giving me his shield.

"Take good care of that!" he shouted.

My tears continued to flow.

'No, don't go.' I wanted to say but I couldn't find my voice.
