"The master might force you to challenge."
"I cannot. I'm only 10 after all."
"That young?"
"I never told you, didn't I."
"No. Well that's decided. A child cannot kill another child. I will have to change this situation a bit." The boy took out a small needle, about the size of a pin. He then swiftly walked toward the child. Before the boy could scream, the assassin pricked him in the neck and caught the body before it hit the floor.
"Did you..?"
"No, I only put him to sleep. I'll drop him off at some soul's house. Hopefully...the memories will be gone when he wakes up. Sealed away in a desperation to forget this night."
The two leave the scene of death, disappearing into the night.
Years later...
"Hey. Soli. Ma needs to talk you."
Soli grumbles and stumbles out of bed. He yawns. "What for?"
"Something about a guy meeting you." Soli's sister hops up and down on his bed. Soli groans. "May, how many times have I told you not to jump on the bed?"
"I'm not. I'm bouncing. And you better hurry. Ma's looks worried."
Soli gives an exsaperated sigh and heads out of the small attic room. Unconciously running his hands through his auburn hair, the thirteen-year old stumbles down the stairs and into the kitchen, where his mom is chatting with Mike and Raiel.
"Now you two, even if you're adults, be careful on your way to work."
Mike grins. "Don't worry Ma. We'll be alright." The two leaves the house, at the same time leaving an air of tension.
Soli gulped. "Ma...did you want to talk to me?"
Ma sighs. "It's about your...your origin. You're not my son."
Soli felt his world fall. "So...Mike, Raiel, and..." Soli cleared his throat, "and May...aren't my siblings?"
Ma sighed. "A young boy brought you five years ago, saying that you needed a good family that would take care of you and not let you know that you are...not a Rein." Another sigh. "The man that's coming today will tell you everything."
Just then, the door opens. A tall, heavily scarred solider walks in, holding a notebook.
"You must be the young Lord Provas.I am here to explain everything."
Duh duh duh. Who is this man? And whatever happened to the two that killed the Lord and the Lady? Stay tuned for more!
