Chapter 1:  In the Beginning 1

Thug: „Stop!!! Little Bastard!”

Two shady looking  men are charging after me, im only 12 years old and my stamina is almost depleted and I never was someone who liked to exercise anyway but now I wished I would have trained more. My breathing is very rough I can’t feel my legs anymore if this gets on I might just collapse on the spot, they chased me already for more than ten kilometres, the forests gets denser and denser because of the dense vegetation it gets almost completely dark as if it where night. The trees are obviously very ancient around here but it’s no wonder I fled in the old forbidden forest, where it’s said that monsters who steal your soul live.

The eerie feeling is overwhelming it almost feels like a monster could lurk behind every tree. That fear is not completely baseless because in this world exist beasts whom evolved from normal animals into more ferocious variants mostly in places where it’s said the SpiritualEnergie is extraordinary dense. And as my already bad situation dictates im in a place with the probably densest possible SpiritualEnergy you can find. To the Forbidden forest its said that somewhere in the centre of the forest lives an Immortal with immeasurable power and I heard in the Tavern a talk between adventurers who seemed to call the Forbidden Forest” Immortals Forest”. But that’s just hearsay and nobody actually knows if that’s true or not.

“Man, How come this little brat has so much stamina im almost out of breath he is like a monkey.”

“If you have the energy to whine about how hard it is, run faster!”

“It doesn’t seem this child can hold on much longer so hold on you fat Idiot”

Aaaaa I can’t run anymore they will get me and when they get me they will certainly kill me or something even worse.

They are only ten meters behind me.

Shit what should I do?

I don’t want to end up as a slave.

Being a slave, means basically the end of your life with a free will from forth on you are only mere property if you don’t behave yourself or are not of use they can end your life anytime.

And that’s something I will avoid at any cost. But the only problem now is I somehow need to find a method to save my sister and my mother and I will try everything to stop them from taking my sister as a slave.

How did it come to this?

Before I was forced to flee I led a rather peaceful life it had it merits but it also had it demerits but all in all I was quite happy. I come out of a rather Poor Family I was born and raised as the son of a maid and a Tailor but because my father was mostly drunk instead of working our financial situation was never that great to begin with. I grew up in a small rural city Called Austrey with at most 600 Citizens mostly Farmers some of them Hunters as well as a Blacksmith and a tiny Magic shop led by an old friendly Lady. The Blacksmith was led by a huge fellow called Steff who had a son which I hated; we always beat at each other whenever we meet. The Hunters where only met either being drunk in the Tavern called Laughing Boar or selling their meat to the Butcher or the Pelts and Hides to the Tannery. I met often with children of the town to play together. On such a day I came home earlier because I got bored, but as I saw my Mother crying and then my father lying on the ground I thought at the beginning he was so drunk that he couldn’t stand and fell over but that couldn’t be why should my mother cry then, then I realized there was blood underneath him. My Face turned instantly ashen.  I was Frantic and ran over: “What happened?” I screamed.

My mother said they took my sister. I shouted “Who?”

She then explained the loan sharks who we had a dept. with where sending people to size the money but because we had none so they tried to take my sister as my father saw that, he attacked them to stop them but by doing so he was stabbed by a sword in the chest.

I instantly decided to save my sister I was always extremely stubborn and once I set my mind on something I won’t budge no matter what.

As my mother was still crying I hugged her and said in a somewhat calm voice:” Don’t worry I will save sister. Where did they go please tell me?”

Mother looked perplexed at me and frantically said:” You must not go you can’t save your sister I heard they have a warrior of the Fourth Rank backing them up. You could never flee from him.”

I was surprised and shocked even though I like to listen to the stories of the various adventurers that come to our town. And they have seen and done many fantastic things. But almost none of them were ever above the Third Rank. You need to understand that this city of Aubrey is rather small and even the major of the town only has a warrior of the Fifth Rank as his personal guardian. So to hear that some shady bandits have a Fourth Ranked warrior in their ranks is quite shocking they must planning something bigger than the money they need to pay for a single Fourth Ranking warrior is equal to a small fortune enough for a normal family to live almost a year off of it, they could buy 10-20 First and Second Ranking Mercenaries instead of one Fourth Ranking one.

But nonetheless even if they would have had an Sixth ranking warrior in their Ranks I would still go if I would lose my little sister to some tugs and knowing they would abuse her without me doing anything that would be worse than Torture to me.

I begged my Mother:” Please tell me! I will go any way even if you don’t tell me but please help me so I can find her faster.”

Tears where running down my mother’s cheeks as she said:” You stubborn idiot if you die I will never forgive you! Do you hear me?”

She knew how stubborn I was if I said I would go no matter what the only way for her to stop me would if she where to knock me out and bind me to a chair.

She silently nodded then she pointed towards the road that leads into the outer part of the Forbidden forest. I said:” Please take care of Father he might be a douche but at least I give him credit for protecting my sister even if he failed as usual.”

“Sigh, He wasn’t always like this in his younger days he was quiet reliable but you are exactly as hot headed as he was as I met him. I only hope you will come home unharmed.” Mother said with a painful ache in her heart.

I pretended to not hear her as I turned and began to run. Even I was worried I was absolutely not certain that I will survive this.

I started to run as fast as I could down the road, if im lucky I get a chance to save my sister before they meet up with this mysterious expert of the Fourth rank.
