The eagle only hunts when it's ready and not before. You see, with the current situation, Aradon is not going to shape into the future hero that I envision. In the first place, I wanted him to be a hero. However, now that I have knowledge of what he could be, I wanted him to be more than just the hero of the elves. He needs to succeed where I failed.

And yes, I failed in the future.

You see, I had a great plan. Join the army, get young promising elves with potential to my side. In the future, I intended to use them to my own purpose. That was when I discovered Aradon, a teenager with a lot of potentials. I put all my hopes in him.

However, apparently in the future I played it quite big, and went through with my plan. I could see myself doing it, and went through with it without remorse. I mean, it's logical.

I have the mean to drive the leadership of the human race into madness, causing them to collapse from within and kill eachother off with the dwarven kingdom being closest to them. In the end, when they have all bloodied themselves, the only one to walk out of that unscathed would be the elven race.

However, I fucked up at the end. I let the people who I viewed as beneath me to turn on me.

In the end, there were only wars by mad men, and the elves would indeed come out of it unscathed, however, from the storyline, I could see that I have lost even though I won in that potential future.

The elves are supposed to emerge from that period of turmoil clean. As in, they are the big hero of the world. Then what the hell was I doing turning mad just from going to hell and back and splat mud over that perfect victory?

In that future, if I let the period of massacre happens for a few more years, the refugees would die off anyway, there was no need to reveal myself early and actually went out to kill people.

What I wanted was a clean victory, but that me was a jerk.

That's why there will be a flawless victory this time, however, this time everything will go the way I wanted. What I wanted may not be what the other me wants, however he lost so fuck him.

It should all start with Aradon.

My friend has great potentials for magic, archery and swordsmanship. For archery he can learn from the older rangers just fine.

For fine swordsmanship, the leak on the Silent Elven Monk order is not easy to find. However, it is known that in the future when the dark elves invade, the Silent order intervenes to save Aelene and meets up with Aradon. Either way, they will show up.

That leave magic.

The best persons to teach Aradon magic are his parents.

Now, I only need to get over his weird hang up. Getting his mother into the city is already a fine first step. However, the problem lies not with Aradon himself, but Aelene.

The princess doesn't like magic, which translates to Aradon not wanting to learn magic too.

However, the magician has already pulled something up his sleeves. I may not know magic but I am a magician.

And so, with all preparations in place, that morning I went out to the field to practice.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"Good morning."

"Morning." Aradon greets me as is usual. The big damn (simp) hero always wakes up early than me for practice. Which explains why he is better than me I guess. Though I really don't have the talents for that.

In the morning, we have bow practice .

I usually lose in our morning archery contest, however, today, as punishment for Aradon's yesterday spaghetti ruining all his opportunities himself, I will win.

Today, my mind is serene as the morning lake. That, and I have a trick up my sleeve.

"Tonight your mother will be waiting at the Wood Knock restaurant in town. I already talked with the commander, you have a day off today."

Finishing I let loose the arrow. The arrowhead swerves in the wind, off target. The distance is 500 meter away. It is inhuman, but it is expected for an elite elven ranger recruit like me and Aradon.

Even though I'm not an elite at all.

However, today is a good day. 59 points.

I walk back inside, knowing that I already won today's archery contest as Aradon melted into a puddle behind me.

----------------------------------------

Today I receive a letter from Violet. In it, she still angrily insult me. However, it is good. The fact that she still writes letter means we are still on speaking term. I fold the perfume letter neatly and put it next to Scarlett. Thinking for a bit I take out some pen and paper and start writing

"Dear Violet.

How have you been?

I know that.........

.....I'm incredibly sorry for what I have done.........

......I know that you are still angry at me, however, I still worry about you truly. I know it is hard to believe, but believe me as someone who loves you with all my heart, lately, there is an event going on. A lot of suspicious people are sighted in the capital city. I can't tell you what it is about because it is a secret, however, you need to take care of yourself and your family. If you ever see any suspicious people near your shop, write to me immediately, I will be there to help you."

Now hopefully, nothing would go wrong.

"Dear Scarlett.

I know I shouldn't be writing this but.......

.......This is shameless of me, but please, you are the only one I can trust in. I know it is hard to believe but in the future, there will be an event going on. Lately, a lot of suspicious people are going to be in the city. I know it is shameless, but you are the only one who can help. Do you know of Violet? The young woman you have met the other day? We may have ended up doing something shameful, however my original intention was good. I have it on good authority that suspicious people will be harming her in the future, I need you Scarlett. You are the only one who can help. Please protect her during this time.......

Please consider this as a favor for all the good time we have together...."

I put down my pen and rub the bridge of my nose. So it has started at last.

At around this time, the organization that originally stole the Idol of Solarii will be moving into our city.
