"Hey Erlan! What did you say your dream was again?"
"To be the strongest elf who ever live!"
"Hahahaha, are you listening to this idiot?! Your people are dead Erlan, you will be lucky to even make it past 20."
****
"Hey Erlan! Wake up!"
Erlan opened his eyes as he stared at the calling, for a second confusion clouded his eyes before his brain rebooted back to reality as he sat up and he stared at the girl before him.
Mirea, The daughter of the woman he was staying with. She returned his look but hers was filled with worrying eyes which made him shake his head.
Sigh, he was about to go through it again.
"What is it again Mirea?"
Mirea came to sit beside him as she patted his shoulder gently, "You were talking in your dream again Erlan. It is getting worse."
Erlan smiled at her concern as he prepare to stand up but she held him back, "Huh? Mirea if it is my dreams then there is nothing for you to worry about. Besides it's normal dreams, not like I have nightmares everyday."
"No Erlan, I am getting worried about you, yesterday's night I heard your scream from my room. There is something wrong with you, isn't it? Why won't you talk to me about it?" Mirea held onto him tightly.
Her eyes were so determined that even he was sure that unless he tells her the truth, there was no getting out of here.
****
'Yeah, that's right. Unless I tell her the freaking truth there is no getting out of her grasp. I would need to be physically stronger to do that.'
'This is my life, An elf boy with no origin, no background story, no memory. It was just like suddenly one day I woke up and I have been existing ever since.'
'I have no idea of the life I lived before, no parents, no family, just a little boy thrown into a chaotic cultivation academy with no hopes of survival.'
'You might be wondering how I got in this situation? Yeah I know, how the hell is a girl same age as me stronger than me right? Well….'
SMACK!
****
"Ouch! What the fuck is that for?" Erlan rubbed his head where her hand hit him. It was purposeful and damn painful.
Snap* Snap*
She snapped her finger before his eyes to bring him back to the room, one minute she was questioning him, the next he was lost in his thoughts mumbling rubbish like he always does.
"I should be the one asking the question, what were you thinking about?" She asked as she released his hand and folded hers below her bosom.
*cough* "Nothing you should be worried about. Why did you even wake me up? Don't tell me it was because I was talking in my sleep?". Furrowing his brows, he turned to her as he awaited her answer.
"No, idiot. Mother sent me to go buy crops from the farmer down the town."
The moment she mentioned the farmer down the town, Erlan's face instantly showed irritation. He knew what his job was already.
Everytime the mistress sends Mirea to buy crops he was to follow her as escort. Seriously, he didn't even know why he has to follow her around like her guard. How is he meant to protect someone ten times stronger than he is?
What the hell?
