A Call to Dahngrest
Malverick's p.o.v. :
Like everday, my morning began with an... explosion. One of my experiments was a failure again and ended up with blowing up the furniture of my room. I know, usually teenagers wake up and get themselves ready for school in the morning but I was a bit different. I love to make my research early in the morning because after school I have to spend my time studying for school.
"Malverick Damuron Atomais! Did you do one of your experiments again? Stop doing these dangerous things and come down for breakfast!"
The words of my mother reached my ear and I sighed. Of course she must have heard the noise but I wished she wouldn't worry about me everytime when an experiment failed.
"Coming Mom!"
I replied as I cleaned my glasses and looked at the clock. It was still early in the morning but I had to make myself ready for school. So I changed my clothes and grabbed my schoolbag before I went downstairs to meet my mother.
When I walked into the dining room, I saw my younger sister Luna and Alvin, the boyfriend of my mother, sitting at the table and eating their breakfast. Both raised their heads and looked at me.
"Good Morning Nii-chan!" greeted Luna me cheerfully and Alvin grinned and waved shortly at me. "Yo, Mal!" I nodded at them and sat down to eat my breakfast. After a few minutes, my mother entered the room and smiled warmly at me. Most of the people already told me that I inherited the outer appearance of my mother. The only thing I got from my father were my eyes. My green eyes.
"Eat up you two. You have to go for school soon." my mother reminded me and my sister and both of us nodded shortly. After ten minutes I finished my breakfast and stood up to prepare myself for school. I took my schoolbag and walked to the door.
"Okay, we will be back in the evening", I said to Mom and Alvin and hugged my mother shortly while Luna hugged both of them. "Bye Mom and Dad!" she said with a smile and left the house before I could follow her.
I caught up with her on the streets of Zaphias, our hometown and walked with her to the world portal which brought us to school. We always travelled to another world to go to school because the eduation was better at that place than here. So my sister and I walked through the world portal and landed in district 42 where the location of our school was.
Luna and I barely arrived the gates of the school, when I noticed a black haired guy and a blonde haired girl beside him. "Ciel! Ai-chan!" I called to both of them and approaches them. Cielo and Aideen were my closest childhood friends, along with the Lhant siblings, Elena, Arthur and Flora.
We greeted each other shortly before I asked:" Where are the others?"
"They are already in class and we should go too." replied Aideen with a smile and I nodded shortly. "True..." I said before turning to my sister. "We will meet again at home" I hugged her shortly before I left with Aideen and Cielo to our classes...
The sun already touched the horizon and tinted the sky into a deep orange when school was over and I said goodbye to my friends to travel home through the world portal, back to Terca Lumireis. I arrived at home when the darkness took over the light and the streets became a bit more quiet.
"I'm home." I called into the silent house as I entered it and looked around. Surprisingly, my mother came to me but her face showed a really serious expression.
"Mom? what's wrong?" I asked her confused because it's unsual to see her like that. Before she answered, she gave me a letter and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"A letter from Dahngrest arrived here in the afternoon. The Don wants to meet you..."
Decisions
Malverick's p.o.v. :
"The Don?" , I asked confused and stared at the letter. The Don was the leader of the Union. What did he want from me? I felt my mother's hand on my shoulder as she grabbed it a bit more.
"...I hoped it wouldn't have come to this..." , she mumbles quietly, before she hugged me tightly. "You don't have to go, if you don't want to..." I was too surprised to say anything. Too confused. I really couldn't believe it myself...
"It's okay Mom..." I replied to her and wraps my arms around her. "I will think about that. You don't have to worry about me..." Then I kissed shortly her cheek, showing her that everything will be alright, before I passed her to go upstairs into my room.
When I arrived in my room, I put my bag at my desk and laid down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I barely knew what it meant to get an invitation from the Don. Of course, he's an important and strong person but what did he want from a normal guy like me? I sighed and closed my eyes, before I turned on my side and looked at my shelf. My eyes widened a bit and I slowly got up. Then I walked to the shelf and picked up the photo which was standing there. On the picture was my mother, carrying me in her arms, when I was a baby. Next to her stood a man, tall, somehow good-looking, with green eyes, holding my mother in his arms.
"Dad..." I whispered quietly and placed my fingers softly on the picture. Maybe this was my chance. A chance to learn where my place is in the world. I took a deep breath before I put back the picture and returned to my bed. But how should I explain this to my mother? what about school? I was in my last year at school, nearly at my final exams. So many questions ran through my mind. so many decisions that I had to make. With these thoughts, I slowly fell asleep, still not knowing what to do.
I woke up early in the morning again. But I didn't do any experiments this time. There was too much on my mind for that. So I went downstairs after I put on my clothes and found my mother in the living-room, the letter in front of her on the table. I took a deep breath before I faced her directly.
"Mom? I will go to Dahngrest and meet the Don." I said calmly, waiting for any reactions from her side. She stayed silent for a while, before she closed her eyes and stood up from the couch.
"I knew you would choose this path..." *she whispered quietly and took the letter. Then she walked to me and handed it over to me. "Just be careful... I love you..." She kissed my forehead softly. I was kinda surprised from this reaction but it was a relief that she wasn't hold me back in any way.
"Thanks Mom. I will take care of myself. Promise!" I replied and hugged her gently. "I guess, I will pack my things then." With these words, I walked back to my room, curious what will happen when I will meet the Don...
