Loup and Luna loved to venture through the village is an alley, a narrow passage, roofs, anywhere was subject to imagination and the adventures of the two were always together, since neither of them had friends with whom they could play.
After so long living in the village without causing any problems, the villagers began to ignore the presence of Nathalia, they were no longer openly hostile to her, it was thanks to Michael assistance that the hatred of residents decreased.
Unfortunately traditions and customs are difficult to overcome, even if they began to tolerate her presence, they saw her as an inferior being, something dirty, after all they are a "sacred" lineage they have a mission to help save the world when necessary, and are proud of it, so they see her as an intruder.
And that feeling is passed also to the children of Nathalia, since they are the result of contamination of the line, and we're talking about Rafael's lineage, descendant of the last hero.
Luna can be said that she still suffers a little less of that feeling, her personality is very similar to Rafael when he was a child, and everyone knows her talent with the sword is the same level as her father, despite being a girl.
But Loup, could be said that the culmination of all the disgust of the village falls on him, Nathalia is the only person in the village who has a red hair, so just looking at it, anyone would know who are his parents, his hair was proof of the presence of Nathalia.
His mere existence was proof of breaking hundreds of years of tradition, his appearance reminded everyone of Nathalia. Although adults behave the same can'y be said of the children.
Children especially boys, love to have a target for their malicious pranks, and Loup for being different from others of course was a perfect target.
Every day, every moment Loup was seen alone, they took the opportunity to do something against him, in the beginning were simple things like making of his hair or put his toy somewhere where he couldn't reach.
Adults even seeing it decided not to get involved, and even with Rafael complaints to the parents of the other boys, nothing happened, and with time, the games were getting more and more dangerous, to the point that some even try to attack Loup, especially the group who was the same age as Luna.
Maybe it's envy, or even simply they didn't like the idea of a girl beeing stronger than them, the boys tried to direct their resentment on Loup, if not for Luna always be around him, Loup could have become seriously injured.
Pity on those who tried to hurt Loup, their luck is that Rafael made Luna promise that she would not hurt others "seriously" if not it would have at least a hundred boys who had to stay in bed for several months.
With all this Loup began to be afraid of other people, and become extremely dependent on his sister, there were days he did not want to leave home.
So Loup became a laughing stock of the village, after all how can a direct descendant of the hero being a coward who hides behind others, someone who does not fight his own battles, must be because the hero's blood have been contaminated.
The idea of a 4 year old child, face a group of boys with 9 years alone is ridiculous, but people see only what they want to see.
At 5 years old Loup barely wanted to leave home even if Luna would protect him, he did not like being a laughingstock, his parents worried they decided to talk to their child.
Pov Nathalia
It's been more than 10 years since I moved to this village, it was difficult at the beginning but I never regretted my decision, but because of me my son is now suffering and I just do not know what to do.
He was a child as happy, even though he was a little shy, he was always cheerful and running, but now he's afraid to leave the cocoon he created around him, breaks my heart to know I can not do anything to help him.All I can do is let Rafael handle it.
Nathalia: "Dear Loup, your father and I want to talk to you." I call for him at his room.
Loup: "What is it mom" I hear him speak almost in a whisper of his room.
Nathalia: ". We are waiting for you in the room, we want to talk about something important," I go to the room, and then immediately listen to his bedroom door open.
In the room are me and Rafael seated at the table waiting for our son, we can see him coming at a slow pace with a sad expression on his face.
He sits in front of us and directs his gaze to us, wanting to know why we have called.
Rafael: "Son, I can see that you are sad about the last things that has been happening to you."
Nathalia: ". It is our fault that you're going through it, if you had not been born as our son maybe your life would be better" Really maybe it would be better if he had not been born as our son.
Rafael: "Tell me what bothers you? The people who laugh at you? The other boys who mistreat you? The fact that you can not fight back? "Question my husband.
Loup just gives a little shake of the head up and down, I can see in his eyes doubt as to ask and where we want to reach.
Rafael: "So let me tell you how to solve your problems son."
Now he looked closely at Rafael, making sure not to miss even a word.
Rafael ". Become strong Loup, strong enough to defend yourself, strong enough to beat anyone who attacks you, strong enough that no one else can even think about laughing at you," Rafael said with conviction in his tone .
Loup: "But I'm not strong like brave enough like the others, I also want to be strong like Daddy and Luna, but it is impossible to happen."
Rafael: "No one is strong from the beginning Loup, you should train, just training you will acquire strength, your own sister in the past returned full of bruises after losing a fight with the the boys of her age."
Loup wanted to speak but seemed to be hesitating, his eyes were moving between his hands and Rafael when.

Rafael broke the table with his fist
Rafael: "CAN YOU SEE THIS LOUP, THIS IS RESULT OF YEARS OF DEDICATION AND TRAINING , I PROMISE YOU IF YOU WORK HARD AND FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS I'LL GIVE YOU A POWER THAT EXCEEDS EVEN MYSELF." He roared Rafael
At this point both I and loup were stunned by the sudden attitude of Raphael, I was about to yell at him but Loup acted first.
Loup: "Please teach me." Said Loup with a smile.
Rafael: "Great let's start right now." Rafael got up and left the house followed by Loup.
Thank you my love, I knew I could count on you, my heart is filled with joy at the sight of that new look on my son's face, please God if you exist I just ask you one thing, allow my children to be happy.
End point of view
Outside the house Luna waited for her father for him to start training her when she saw him being followed by her younger brother.
Luna: "Will Loup watch today's training father?" asked Luna.
Rafael: "No Luna, today you are dismissed from training, your brother will start training too, so today I will give a class just for him and teach him the basics." Said Rafael.
Luna: "Ehh Loup will, why you don't want to be protected by your sister?" Luna spoke in a joking tone.
Loup: "Uh-huh, I'll become stronger, even than Father, and then it will be my turn to protect you Luna." Loup said with conviction.
Luna: "Oh really, so I will wait anxiously for that day, but until then it's my responsibility to protect my beautiful little brother." She replied with a warm smile as she stroked Loup's head.
Loup: "Hunf don't treat me like baby, let's go father." Said Loup angry as he removed the hand of his sister.
Rafael took Loup to the forest that was inside Altamira's barrier, there they sat.
Rafael: "Ok Loup now I'll start class so pay attention, the first thing you have to know is that there are two ways to get stronger. The first is using your body the second is using your spiritual power. "
Rafael: "First as you might expect it comes to training your body to fight, it makes it faster, stronger, tougher, so for professions such as swordsmen, archers, knights, generally every kind of warrior who gives physical damage.
Rafael: "The second is to train the spiritual energy within you, the spiritual energy is everywhere, it is she who controls the laws of nature, one who can control your spiritual energy can create or manipulate certain phenomena of nature, is what we call magic that is used by witches and wizards in general. "
Rafael: "Both methods are trained in different ways, for the first you train your body depending on the profession you want to follow line, if you turn a swordsman you train how to use a sword and also your body to become stronger and agile in later levels you use the spiritual power within you to strengthen your body in different ways. "
Rafael: "Now for the second is somewhat different, first one has to find out which element he has natural aptitude for training, is something that can not be changed, you just born or not with talent for it, you should absorb spiritual energy from the outside and go gradually expanding the amount that can store, so places with a great spiritual energy density are good to train."
Loup: "What are the elements, and how you do this test?"
Rafael: "Well the basic elements are fire water air earth light lightning darkness, but may appear people with unique abilities like wood. At the test question, there are several good ways of doing, here we use a special paper that depending on your aptitude it becomes a different color. "
Rafael: "Well continuing, we divide the power level of 1 to 10, using a swordsman as base we can say that power of each level is more or less like this."
Rafael: "At level 1 you are already a good fighter and already understand the basics. 2 can now monitor training of others and help them improve. 3 may already have your own squad, like a captain and give orders, your techniques are already better polished. At 4 you usually already have your own technique that you developed and specializes in it. In 5 you are already someone with high military potential, your name makes enemies avoid war with you. No 6 can win alone easily a small level of squad 2 in the wars they are very used to open lines in the battles. No 7 you are a master in your own style. No 8 can defeat a squad alone and create an entire tree of fighting style. No 9 Defeat an army composed of people who reach level 6 and level 10 your strength is so extreme, and so unattainable that we call god of war.
Loup: "WOWW, so at what level are you father? Are you already at level 10? Because no one can beat you. "
Rafael: "No Loup, I'm only at level 5 almost at the 6, there are many people in this world stronger than I Loup, just so you know your sister is at level 3."
Loup: "WHAT, Luna is that strong, that is almost as strong as you father?" Loup asks incredulously.
Rafael: "Not really, the truth is that once you reach a level, you need twice as much time and effort to reach the next, a normal human need about one year to arrive at level 1, to reach level 2 need to train more 2 years, to reach 3 for 4 years, and so on. "explained Rafael.
Loup, "then wait, if so how much time is needed to get someone on the top level?"
Rafael: "Well one normal human would need a whole 1023 years to reach the last level."
Loup: "Wow, so what level have our ancestor arrived?"
Rafael: "Apparently before he died he was at level 9." Said Rafael in a tone of disbelief.
Loup: "HOW HE REACHED SUCH A HIGH LEVEL ?" Shouted Loup surprised.
Rafael: "This is where enters your talent and effort, this is only a given number using humans who are average. Well enough talk for today, time to start your tortu... I mean training. "Said drafting an evil grin on his face.
For the rest of the day can be heard terrifying screams echoing through the forest.
