The boy had begun to dream of being a hero.

It was all he could think of.

I want to be a hero! I want to adventure! I want to kill the demon king!

He told the whole town of his ambitions.

Running from place to place, telling everyone about his grand dream.

Eventually his father sat him down for a talk.

"So you want to be an adventurer?", His father asked him, a questioning look on his face.

"huh?... Oh yeah! I really, really do! I'm gonna start adventuring and I'm gonna defeat the Demon king!", the kid was excited, he had never talked about this with his father before.

"Ahahaha!", his father laughed heartily,"Well that's good, you take after me!".

"Take after you? What do you mean? What do you mean?", the kid was confused.

what does he mean? like him? I'm not an adult, I am a boy though, does he also want to be an adventurer? does he want to be and adventurer too? woah!

"you want to adventure with me papa, do you?!", the thought of going and killing monsters with his dad was exciting, adventuring seemed a little less scary if his father was with him.

"Ah, no, no, my days of adventuring have long since been over.", his father had a sad smile on his face,"truth is I have a few things to give you."

The boy felt a little embarrassed, he had gotten so excited to adventure with his dad.

"So um, um what did you get me? Wait were you an adventurer? I thought you worked at the um, food place, the bar.", He was still very embarrassed but continued to make conversation.

"Yes I was an adventurer. Oh boy that was long ago.", his father reached behind him and pulled out a few items.

A sword, a shield, and a bag.

"These are the tools I used when I would adventure", He looked at his equipment and back at his child, "Ah well that's not all there is, the rest of the armor and a few belts here and there, and a few more packs. But yeah, the armor is till too big for you but you'll grow into it, the sword might be a little too big for you too so maybe we should train you up to that one. "

Why does he look sad? Why does he look like that?

His father was grimacing.

"Papa, are you sad?"

"Im okay, just remembered something.", His father looked solemnly at him.
