The day was foggy, the animals in the woods
were too sleepy for the lack of light, because of that the surroundings were
quiet. Mynthae walked alone, he took off his shoes because with them he was
noisier; he was wondering how much of the truth Atne told him about if Emisya
and Vonaxie were mad or not, he couldn’t help but feeling ungrateful with her
after all the things she did for him but the reason of his departure was stronger
than the reasons to stay.
Besides that, his mind was busy with the threat
the Magicless yelled to him, the truce with the Shields, his worries about his
sister and people, his fear and anger to The Organization which changed and
kidnapped him and The War.
He sat in the first fallen tree he found, all
the silence in the woods couldn’t reach his mind because of his own noises so
he took a moment to rest and calm himself. Mynthae drank a little bit of water,
then he closed his eyes and let his soul reach the tranquility of his
surroundings while trying to understand, again, the wind.
Little by little the Child of the Wind heard
the voice of his element father, the unknown noise took the form of a man’s
voice until it became a image which left Mynthae really surprised because of the
thought that he felt asleep.
“Who are you?” without caring about the weird
scenery around them, Mynthae stay tense while examining the man in front of
him. His gray hair and eyes made the boy thought of him like a whisperer
however he couldn’t remember who exactly was.
“My name is Rael, who are you?” the name that
left his lips surprised the warrior making his body loosen up a bit. “You can
be serious… Rael died years ago…”
The man look troubled for a second and, even,
hurt for his words until he let a half smile showed “Then, maybe, this is my
payment for giving up and killing… I did so much harm for my personal reasons,
I endangered the people I swore to defend”
“Not as much as I did and I would do” finally
Mynthae relaxed his body, everything around him looked again like the forest in
which he fell asleep so he returned to the fallen tree. “I’m Mynthae, son of
the… no, I am the Five Breeds’ leader, yet I’m wandering around far from them
without knowing if they’re safe or not because I don’t know how to come back to
them and I don’t know anymore how to whisper”
“Why? What happened to you and who did it?”
Rael sat down in the same tree, his face showed true concern for the boy he was
seeing.
Without knowing if he had time enough for it,
Mynthae gave him the summary of the last years of his life and a bit more of
the past after the death of the hero. “I’m sure the moment I return home
they'll make me kill them or something… but I can't leave them alone… at the
same time I’m scared because they won’t recognize me and if they know what I’d
done…”
“They trust you, they trust your strength, your
intelligence, your heart; I’m sure they’ll understand why you did everything or
why you didn’t, you’re their hero either way if you go back now or after defeating
the Magicless” all the knowledge that old hero won in battles alongside the
pain, was shown in his eyes, Mynthae saw his own eyes in those and then he
believed why they thought he would be the new hero.
“My people used to call me Tael… it made me angry
thinking I couldn’t be as strong or marvelous as you…” the man patted his
shoulder three times with a sad smile “As much as you don’t believe my words, I
used to think they overestimated me, and I still do”
“My friend used to say that was the modesty
which all strong people needed” his smile was lively even with the pain of the
memories from his death friend and family brought to him. “I wish you the best,
Tael, let the wind guide your way back home and strengthen your sword”
When Rael spoke as the wind, Mynthae understood
it like when his memories were complete, the whispers healed his soul making
him feel calm and warm when he awoke back in the woods.
Ahora sé que no tendrán una escena juntos :'D
ResponderBorrarPero las palabras de Rael le servirían mucho a Mynthae... y aw le dijo Tael!!
