Whats a feud?, it's a prolonged and bitter quarrel or dispute. Some feuds end and some.....well grow even worse, one example of this happening is the conflict between the neighboring kingdom of la lance and le spade that has lasted for over two century's despite the fact these two kingdoms have had ten peace treaty's with eachother. Surprisingly enough this conflict would be ended in the future by a peasant boy named vinic

"vinic!" a old stern feminine calls out

"Hmm" a white haired fourteen year old dark skinned boy responds before stalking off towards the voice, face expressionless. Reaching the caller vinic is met with a old wrinkled women who had a permanent stern look on her face, this was the orphan handler maria, she wasn't very fond of vinic.

"Ma'am?" Vinic addresses the women politely.

The women scrunched her features in disgust before facing away from the young teenager, vinic understood the message immediately indicated by him turning his eyes down facing away from maria. His eyes were unique and drew attention to him, he has sharp narrowed eyes and deep onxy pupil and iris

Maria only faces vinic right after his eyes face down to the ground, clearly not visible to the others. She nods before speaking "i have a new job for you, one you might not come back from" maria states curtly.

Vinc frowns at her phrase before she resumes speaking by saying "the kings army has been recruiting man and teenagers in preparation for a war against our rivals the la lance kingdom, every household is required to send Atleast one man to join the army"

Vinic widens his eyes in realization ' I'm being sent away' he thinks with a bit of enthusiasm "I'm sure you've already realized that you will be sent to the army, get ready to leave tonight, a knight from the army will be coming later" maria says before walking away from vinic leaving him to his thoughts. 'I'm leaving, the army?, i'd rather die there than here' vinic thinks observing the gloomy halls of the orphanage

Timeskip

^^^^^^^^

Late at night around 9pm a knock sounds around the orphanage, indicating that someone was knocking at the door.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

"Coming!" Maria shouts racing towards the front door, answering it maria is met with a tall, bulky and heavily scared blond haired, sun tanned white man wearing heavy knight attire

"Madam, I'm here for the candidate" the gruffy Knight says with an air of authority

"Um,....yes.....o-of course..VINIC!" Maria calls out feeling nervous infront of the imposing knight

A unnervely calm vinic emerges from the passage, when he and the knight make eye contact the knight freezes and grabs hold of his sword in fear, maria jumps away from the knight due to his actions

"How scary, such intense eyes" the knight mutters observing vinic's pure onxy eyes tinted with violet "your eyes look like they've seen more deaths and carnage than me, destruction and death i can't even fathom" the knight says to vinic while sweating profoundly

'Such demonic eyes, his not human, what happened to him?, how can someone so young have such inhumane eyes?' The knight thinks while closely observing vinic and maria "let's go" he finally speaks relaxing his stance

Slowly and fearfully the young teen strides towards the knight walking a few steps and a distance from the imposing knight.

A few minutes into the walk the knight breaks the silence "how are you?"

Vinic jumps at the sudden question before answering "I-I'm vi-vinic mister!"

"That's not what i was asking, why do you possess those eyes?" the knight asks narrowing his eye's in mistrust and suspicion.

Unable to answer and feeling sad that someone else hated him due to his eyes, vinic looks down on the ground, tears pooling in his eyes.

The knight looks at the sniffling kid before sighing "i take it, people don't like you eyes and are afraid of them?" He asks

Vinic nods in yes. 'Thought as much' the knight thinks. "It can't be helped, you were bound to receive such harsh treatment, humans are shallow no matter how we put it, they judge and discriminate the slightest thing they don't understand, that's why i have concluded that they is NO such thing as a mature person" the knight exclaims with a laid-back expression

"Wha-wh n-no no mature person i don't understand?" vinic responds wiping away his tears away.

"All i can say is that.....what makes different from others, makes you special, something the normal desire,  the desire to stand out from the herd but only a few can really do, so charish what makes you special, it makes you less shallow than your normal joe." The knight says making vinic widen his eyes in happiness

"By the way, my name is nash"

"Um, okay mister nash"

"Let's go or we will be late for the meet up" nash says picking up the pace.

"Wait up, what meet up?" Vinic questions while speeding up to catch up.
