Chapter 4: Reality
Even though i knew my mother will easily win and was not worried at all I was still in awe of the way my mom easily killed those people from hyena tribe.She truly looked like a goddess when she fights this is why in this world i truly most
respect and both feared her. In this searth i fear no wild animals or savage tribespeople except my mother when it comes to her all i feel is despair the way her opponents feel.
My mother turned to look at the sky and then said to us : that was fun its getting late now lets go home . it'll be not safe to stand outside in the nighttime.
dad: you are right honey.
lumin:yes mother
The outside was not safe in nightime it will get more dangerous due to the atmosphere being more weird sometimes strong typhoon,strong poison miasma and wild bugs and animals hunting for foods in packs.Thats why people usually hunts in the group of dozens.
My family was the exceptions though.We continue our journey with some extra dry foods from the tribesmen and the big wild bull
After 1.5 hour we finally reached our home the entrance being a rare 2 storey building with a hiddden underground bunker.
According to my dad, grandfather was a smart man who predicted the world changes ahead of time and manage to build an underground bunker. He did try warning the world but too bad nobody believed him at the time.
Our underground home had 3 bedrooms , a big hall,a small kitchen full of hunted wild animals and a library full of books. Luckily enough someone put a lot of fantasy novels there maybe someone from the family side must have been a hardcore fan of fantasy world.
As a baby my dad alone mostly raised me because mother was always hunting for food so i felt more connected to my dad when growing up. But even my dad had to keep going for hunt after a while as a support so i always felt alone from then.
All i had was novels as my friend and both pasttime in the dimly light underground so i always slept in library, language was never a problem for me even as a baby i learned pretty much everything fast. When i told my mom that she said(as expected from your father child)i didn't know what to say at that time.
As a child who lived all his life underground all day reading fantasy novels only. I used to imagine that the outside world wassame as novels one where you can go anywhere you want to there are no limits, making new true comrades through duels and battles, fall in love and most importantly learn extraordinary magic and become strong enough to battle gods.
And so I asked my father and mother that i also wanted to go outside and explore the world with them though i didn't tell them my reason or imagination though but my mother told me that only when i become strong enough that i can go outside world, so at the age of 6 i asked my mom to train me as she is the strongest one. She looked both happy and worried at the same time.
After making sure i was serious and not just playing around she warned me that her training is really hard. I told her with childish confidence that i can handle it and oh boy i still regret that confident word as i was thrown into a nightmare since day 1 i have never known but always somehow managing to survive at the end of the day.
Time passed by with all day only doing training everyday and no time to read novels feeling barely alive at night but finally when i was nearly at the age of 8, my mother told me i was ready to go outside and experience the world with them. I was so excited even the usual nightmare training didnt make me feel sleepy in nighttime with all my expectations running wild.
Morning came and me and my family got ready with our weapons and a tight full body cover cloth though i don't know why but only that they told me its dangerous outside .
While feeling both anticipation and excited i took my first step out of bunker and into the outside world but the moment i did that i felt something inside me breaking maybe it was my dreams or childhood.My secret dreams that i kept inside my heart.
Because the real world was not beautiful like i imagined at all.The sky were all brown the ground was sandy there were no beautiful green forest even the air looked dirty and it flet hard to breathe.
Reality was so frustrating and harsh that i just broke down into tears in that moment.I was just dreaming all day and my parents were just risking their lives for our survival in this reality i didn't know what to do, they did tell me it was harsh outside but i didn't know it was this harsh.
My parents just let me cry alone first and after a while they came to hug me.At the time they just said it was better for me to experience the reality rather than telling just by mouth. While i was crying in my fathers embrace.
My mother with a stern face said:"Son sometimes people will try to push you down,sometimes life or heck sometimes even the world or reality will be harsh and push you down,what matters is that you will not let them break you down and have the courage to stand up again. So what are you going to do then lumin?are you going to just give up lying down as a coward or are you going to stand up again as a tougher man?!.
For a child those were some harsh words but it was exactly those words that somehow cheered me and gave me courage to stand up again. I stopped my crying tears and stand up. I looked at my mother and said: MOM you are right im your son so what if the people push me down i will destroy those people,even the life and world will not be spared if it try to block my way i will become stronger in this world no matter what it doesn't matter if the reality is not as i dreamed but i will not quit, i will always stand tall till death never giving up to the end.
My mother looked at me proudly and smiled: that's my son alright.
dad: Mine too right.
"hahahaa"
We just laughed and that day i experienced my first hunt although it was scary at first i got used to it soon after few hunts.infact you could say i even started to enjoyed it.
