A fact about who he really is. There is a sentence that says "How is the boy, is he well Mr Alfus McAlloy ?" then Cyril read on and found a name other than his father in the note.

"Yours sincerely, Augusta Cloudiastra" then various questions appeared in Cyril's head and Cyril immediately kept the note and put it in his room. Then Cyril immediately continued reading all of his father's books. As the days passed, Cyril began to understand everything that was happening in his life. While waiting for his father's return, Cyril began to train in martial arts, from bare-handed combat to the use of weapons such as swords, spears, axes and so on. He also practiced his focus and began to meditate at the waterfall near his tree house. Cyril did all this for 2 years.

One day Cyril began to worry because his father had not returned, and he began to prepare himself to find his father out of the woods and go to the Kingdom of Villmort. But as he was preparing supplies to go there, 3 knights on horseback came to Cyril's house and knocked on his door.

"Is anyone in there ?" asked one of the knights. Then Cyril quickly opened the door of his house.

"Can I help you with anything ?" Cyril replied from inside his house.

"We are emissaries from the northern part of the Kingdom of Villmort to deliver an important message," replied one of the knights.

Cyril immediately opened the door of his house and said to the knight, "What message do you wish to convey, sir ? "That Mr Alfus McAloy has died while carrying out an important and very secret mission. We can only find the horse and the items left on the horse, but we still can't find the body". The knight said, bowing his head as a sign of respect for his father. Then he handed Cyril all the items and the horse. Cyril was so overwhelmed that day, he never thought he would lose the only person he really cared about and the only person who loved him very much. Crying and leaning against Cyril in his room for a few days, he felt that it was all just a dream.

One night when Cyril fell asleep, Cyril dreamed, he felt exactly the same atmosphere as the previous dream and came the black-robed old man approached Cyril and said, "Do not be afraid, all this must happen, my son. Because you are destined to carry such a great burden, you must feel the hardest things in your life so that you can see the greatest thing you can possibly achieve. As long as you don't take the wrong step, as long as you don't drift away in sadness, you will see the light shining again, but if the darkness reaches you and overcomes you, then you will never see the light again. The choice is yours, son of Adam.

Then Cyril was surprised and began to wonder about the purpose of this dream.

"What does this old man mean?, Why does he keep coming into my dreams and telling me things that are very hard for me to understand ?" Cyril asked himself.

The next morning, with all his equipment ready, he set off to find answers to all the questions he had been keeping track of. The first target Cyril comes across is Augusta Cloudiastra. But Cyril is still confused as to where to start looking for this person, as there is no record of where this person came from and where they are now. Then Cyril remembered the incident when a loud voice was heard from the northern part of the forest.

And so Cyril hurried north, hoping to find an answer where he could find a man called Augusta Cloudiastra. On his way, Cyril saw a group of wolves hunting from a distance. He quickly looked for a place to hide, but he could not find one. Very quickly the wolves smelled Cyril's presence and ran towards him to attack him.

With quick reflexes, Cyril immediately pulled out the sword he had brought from his house to fight the wolves. Cyril stood up with great fear, but he promised himself that he would find answers to all the questions that were on his mind.

Cyril began to practise everything he had learned from reading his father's books. There was a very fierce battle between Cyril and the wolves, after almost defeating all the wolves there was one wolf that managed to injure Cyril's left eye. With great anger, Cyril swung his sword and slashed the wolf's head.

After the fight was over, he screamed loudly as he endured the excruciating pain and held the injured part of his left eye. Cyril then searched for the nearest water source, found a river to wash the blood in his eyes and immediately searched for herbs to treat his wound based on the medical science he learned from his father.

Then, after mixing these herbs into a medicine that he used to heal his wounds, Cyril immediately rushed back to the place where he had killed the wolves to skin the wolf that had injured him so that he could make an eye patch to protect his left eye. After treating his left eye, Cyril decided to spend the night by the river and eat the supplies he had brought with him. After eating, Cyril immediately took a break to recover his health so that he could continue his journey back the next day.

When Cyril fell asleep, he dreamed the same dream as before, then the old man came and held Cyril's left eye.

Cyril was surprised and said, "What are you doing? Are you going to kill me?".

"Calm down my son, I will return your sight." The next morning Cyril woke up and said to himself, "Is it true what the old man said to me ?" while Cyril, surprised, went to the river and tried to think about the river water.

When Cyril started to open the eye patch and clean the herbal medicine that was on his left eye and then tried to open his eyes, Cyril was surprised and said to himself, "This is all impossible ?!, Is it possible for this eye really to return to its original condition ?" But Cyril wondered why the scars from the wolf's claws didn't disappear. Then suddenly Cyril heard a voice in his heart, "The scar will always remind you that you are just a human. Cyril still couldn't understand his inner voice. Cyril tried to forget those words and began to hurry to tidy up his equipment and continue his journey.

Cyril continued his journey and arrived at the edge of the forest, it occurred to Cyril to look back and see the forest. But when he looked back, he felt a very strange and gripping aura coming from the forest. He was confused because as long as he had lived in the forest, he had felt that the forest was a very peaceful forest, so he had felt very comfortable living there. But Cyril tried to think positively and continued his journey.

Hurriedly, Cyril continued his journey northwards. Not long after Cyril continued his journey, he saw from a distance that there was a small village and immediately Cyril went to the village to rest and at the same time find out where Augusta Cloudiastra was.

Cyril arrived in the village and met many villagers who were very kind to him. Then Cyril said in his heart in surprise, "Why is life outside the forest not like what you told me all this time, what have you been hiding from me all this time? Suspicion began to grow in Cyril's heart.

Then Cyril looked for a place to stay in the village to rest and also to get information about the village. Cyril arrived at the inn in the village, booked a room with the innkeeper and asked - Ask about this village.

"Sir, may I reserve a room to rest tonight ?" Cyril asked the innkeeper.

The innkeeper replied, "Very well, sir. May I know your name so I can put it in my guest book ?, It costs 13 gold pieces per night".

Then Cyril took 13 gold pieces out of his pocket and said, "My name is Cyril de Arc Mirage, sir".

"This is the key, Mr Cyril, your room is on the second floor and it is in the corner," the innkeeper replied with a smile.

Then Cyril went to the second floor and went to his room. After entering his room, he should rest immediately so that he could find information about Augusta tomorrow.

The next morning, Cyril excitedly left the inn and started walking around the village, trying to imitate the villagers by greeting them as they met and while Cyril asked them if any of them knew or had heard of the name Augusta Cloudiastra.

From morning until late afternoon, Cyril walked around but still had no answer as to what he was looking for. When he decided to leave the village, a woman came up to him and said to Cyril, "What is your business with Commander Augusta that you are looking for him? Cyril replied, "I have something important to ask him. It has to do with my past and who I really am.

Then the woman took Cyril into the house and began to question Cyril more deeply, "Sir, may I know where you are from ?" and Cyril replied, "I am from the forest in the south.

The lady was surprised and said to Cyril, "Don't tell me you come from the forbidden forest !". Cyril was also surprised and said, "Forbidden Forest ?!, How can you say that the forest is forbidden ?, I never felt threatened while I was there, I even felt calm while I was there".

Cyril became increasingly curious about what had really happened to him all this time. Then the woman immediately said to Cyril with curiosity, "Sir, may I know who you were left with ?".

Then Cyril said to the lady, "I live with my father, who is a mage, but he is very kind to me and loves me very much, and has even taught me many things during this time".

The woman began to feel sad, then asked Cyril, "Sir, may I tell you the things I know about the real you, before you introduce me, I am the wife of Commander Augusta Cloudiastra".

Then Cyril replied very happily, " Fine then, please, because I really want to know the truth".

Then the Commander's wife Augusta began to tell Cyril about who she really was and what had happened to the outside world so far. Cyril began to take the words of Commander Augusta Cloudiastra's wife very seriously.
