It’s the birth of Liam Kaizer. Old man Lu and Granny Anne was overjoyed by the fact that they were blessed with a heavenly child. Liam had snow white hair with sky blue eyes. He was quite pale compare to other babies. Liam never cried and always looked around without making any noise. Old man Lu and Granny Anne was worried that he might have hit his head when the crystal egg fell on the floor.

Old man Lu and Granny Anne enjoyed their life with Liam. Liam was a docile child. He never gave any trouble and he was always independent.

Year 20298

Liam is 5 years old now.

He’s been living near Green Lac all his live. He never saw other human nor did he want too. He was content with his life style.

Liam had 2 small horns that look like bumps. He questioned about his horn to his parents but his parents didn’t see any horn on top of his head. It seems like he’s the only one that can see and feel them. One afternoon, Liam was taking a stroll when he saw something strange. He saw two humans fighting in the crater near the Green lac. It was two men that were fighting with some kind of magic sword. One of the men was using a fire sword while the other one was using a lightning sword. It seems like they were evenly match.

The fire swordsman flew high in the sky followed by the lightning swordsman. The fire swordsman casted a magic spell. The heat started to gather around the swordsman sword. The other swordsman also started to chant some spell at a fast pace. The aura around the lightning swordsman started to spark.

Both swordsmen stare at each other. The fire swordsman slashed the air and created a fire dragon to come out at the tip of the sword. The fire dragon twisted and open his mouth. The dragon approached the lightning swordsman within a few seconds even if the gap between them was 100 meters. The lightning swordsman led out a scream and a barrier started to envelop the lighting swordsman. He became a lightning ball and charged towards the fire dragon.

The collision between those two forces creates an explosion that could be heard from old man Lu house. Liam stared at the battle which sparks something within him. He wanted to know how they were able to fly. He started to wonder if he could also do it. He glared at them to find a hint. Liam was a smart child and he knew that they weren’t ordinary human. He felt like he resembles more at them than his own parents.

When both swordsmen clashed, the barrier and dragon disappear along with the explosion. The lightning swordsman spitted some blood and whipped his mouth with his forearm. The fire swordsman smirked then suddenly fell a pain on his abdomen. They were both hit by each other spell. It seems like the lightning swordsman receive more damage in that exchange.

The fire swordsman got hot headed when he felt the pain. He started to chant another spell. The temperature started to rise. The lightning swordsman started to sweat under his gears. He quickly went down. The fire swordsman was hovering on top of the lightning swordsman. The lightning swordsman smiled from one ear to the other. He strikes his sword down under the ground with both his hand. The fire swordsman stared at the other swordsman while chanting his spell.

The fire swordsman started to question the action of his enemy. The enemy pinned his sword on the earth without doing anything else. The fire swordsman almost finishes his chant but he noticed that the lightning swordsman didn’t move at all. Suddenly, the lightning swordsman looked towards the fire swordsman and smiled at him. The fire swordsman felt a chill on his back. The fire swordsman casted his spell and a giant heat wave crashed the surrounding. The lac water level went down by half. All living thing started to die off.

Liam felt the heat crashing his whole body but his horn started to glow and absorb the energy from the heat which helped him to stay alive. He also noticed that his horns grew a bit by some centimeters. Everything around Liam started to root and die. He quietly went behind a rock and started to observe once more the battle between the swordsmen.

The lightning swordsman suffered quite some damage from the heat wave but he didn’t let go of the sword. The fire swordsman descended from the sky to finish his enemy but a giant thunder strike on top of the sword. The lightning swordsman used his swords as a lightning rod. The thunder hit the back of the fire swordsman. Both swordsmen were at the end of the rope. They both knew that they were at the limit. They only had one more chance. They both knew that they’ll rather flee and fight another day than die in a deserted place

The fire swordsman started to chant a spell while the lightning swordsman started to chant his own spell. One turned into a fireball and the other turned into a lightning ball. The balls started to float then disappear.

Liam enjoyed the fight. He ran back home in order to ask his parents about these type of human. While he ran back home, he noticed that the entire forest were rotten. When he got home, he noticed two bodies next to each other. He saw both his parents on the bed, they both held each other hands.

Liam went towards them and tried to wake them up but they wouldn’t move nor did they respond. He put his hand on the neck of the corpse to find out there’s no more pulse. Liam closed his eyes and a small tear started to fall. Tears started to overflow his eyes. He dropped his knees on the floor and started to cry and cursed the world.

Liam never cried in his life and when he did, no one was there to comfort him. He was all alone. After some time, Liam looked at both his parents. He saw a smile on both of their face. He took a bag and started to fill it with things he needed. When he was ready, Liam kissed his parents good bye walked out of the house. He took out a flint stone and a steel dagger, and lit the house on fire. He stared at the fire that was sending both his parents to heaven.

Liam wasn’t dumb; he knew what had happened to his parents. He knew that his parents were killed by one of the spell. He cursed at the swordsmen that ruin his peaceful life. He let watch the house burn into the ground until there’s nothing left but ashes. He noticed something that was shining. It was a blue crystal. The crystal had a form an egg shell, it seems like his parents were working on this egg. They were making him a pendant with the crystal. It was a shaped as a crescent moon. He took the crystal and a string, and he made a pendant out of it.

Liam was smart but he didn’t know that his parents were killed by the heat wave that caused both his parents to die from a heat stroke. He only knew that it was somewhat related. He took his bag with one hand and putted on his right shoulder. He started to march towards the west.

While Liam was walking, he encounters some wild animals. He didn’t know much about these animals but he knew that he couldn’t act carelessly around them. He would climb tree to escape some and he would run for others. After using up all his resource from his backpack, he started to learn how to catch animal for food. He would drink spring water and store some in his bag when he gets the chance. The hardest part was to trap animals.

It’s been over 2 weeks that he’s been walking towards the west but he didn’t find anything. He was able to prey on small rabbits, but he was always getting chased by wolfs and other animals. One day, he saw a cave which looked safe. He didn’t want to sleep on top of a tree again so he went inside to take refuge. He noticed that there’s something lurking behind the shadow. He felt a presence and without the time to react, a giant paw swung towards Liam sent him flying backwards and hit the wall of the cave.

He slowly gets up and saw a giant bear. It was 2 meters tall. Liam couldn’t move his right arm because he used it to block the attack. He stared at the bear with a hint of fear in his eyes. He knew that he couldn’t beat this bear. The bear started just woke up from his slumber and he was quite hungry. The bear stared at Liam like if Liam was some morning snack.

Liam had a broken arm and he didn’t have a lot of energy. He had to face a hungry bear that just woke up. Liam wanted to run for it but the entrance was blocked by the bear. Liam decides to run for his life. He lean his body towards the exit like a race track pro. The bear noticed Liam’s movement and knew that he wanted to escape. Suddenly, the bear roared which paralyse anyone that hears it.
