The sky was pure blue with no clouds in sight and a pleasant breeze was present with the salty smell of the ocean.

A medium sized boat was traversing through the ocean and on that boat where only 2 people, A giant of a man and a boy.

“Son we will soon reach our destination, So I better do it now than drag it out” A look of determination flashed in his face as he continued.

“I will be leaving you off to an old friend of mine, and he will continue taking care of you.

“Dad! Why can't I continue to stay with you? I promise I will try harder in my training and won't slack off!”

Placing his giant hands on the boys' shoulders he looked in the teary-eyed boys' eyes.

“Listen, son, this is in no way your fault, my time has come and I can no longer keep raising you, so I must ensure you keep on living and have a chance to do what I couldn’t do, Now let your father give you some words of wisdom for your future.

“Okay, dad.”

“Remember that humans became the dominant species because of their brains and not because of their physical qualities ”

“Humans are fragile yet resilient and one could say could even say mysteries, for example, a mother to save her child in danger could….

As he kept talking the boy calmed down as he would be under some mysteries influence, but the man just kept giving his wisdom to his son hoping some of it would stick to him and one day might save his life.

The Sun was starting to set as they reached their destination an island with a mighty jungle covering it.

Riding his fathers' shoulders they traversed through the deathly quite jungle until they reached a tree house.

“Khafan! Come out.”

Suddenly a man holding two Katars jumped out of the wooden house ready to attack.

But his expression changed mid-air and he stopped his attack.

“Didn’t think you would bring a kid when you visit me. Hell, I didn’t think you visit me ever again.”

“Don’t be so cold old friend here I even brought you a new student

“He is even my own son, So you know he is great.”

“Tch if by great you mean a freak then sure, but you could have at least said something before you came.”

The atmosphere suddenly got awkward as the conversation became silent.

With a helpless look, he said: “I don’t have much time left.”

“I understand, I will just take this as that favor I owe you.”

The man turned to his son and handed him an old looking book.

“Son this is my gift to you… you will understand its use when the time is right, keep it close to you”

“When you wake up I will be already gone.”

“wha..”

“You could have had a proper goodbye at least.’

With a helpless look, the man replied: “Too much would need to be explained then.”

“Take good care of him.”

“I will raise him as my own”

The Giant of a man simply disappeared as he was never there, to begin with.
