Oh boy!! Finally on with the story! Let's look into the new world Solus has been reborn to...

-------------------------------------------

Solus POV

"Good morning Mother" I said to her as I walked into the kitchen were the servers and maids were preparing breakfast,

"Oh good morning Solus, how did you sleep?" She asked giving me a kiss on the forehead.

"I slept like a baby human" I said out loud while grabbing a biscuit.

"Like a human? You are human Solus" she said looking at me funny and laughing slightly.

"Yeah that's what I meant!" I said walking quickly into to the dining room. In the center of the room was a big table, it sat 12 and it was oval, Father sat on the right side on the head of the table, while Mother sat at the other end on the left of the table. My older brother Aventus sat on the middle between Mother and Father. I walked up to him and tossed one of the biscuits at him. He caught it without looking and started eating it,

"Thanks little brother!" He said happily munching on the biscuit and reading a book. I smiled and walked to father's side to say Good Morning.

"Good Morning Father" I said bowing down slightly.

"Ah Solus Good morning, how fare the studies and training?" He asked me with a smile.

"I have been making a lot of progress!" I said sitting down at the table. "The teacher of Magic said she has never seen a 12 year old kid, master all of the Letters in the Book of Beginnings. But that my magic prowess was really slow" Father looked at me with a huge grin.

"What about Rob? Has he any say on your training as a knight?!" Said Father with excitement.

"..." I stayed quiet just to see his expression and he got restless.

"Well?!" Said father in a worried tone getting up slowly.

"He says that I still got much to learn, but That even if I am 12 years old to not give up. But he did mention that I have a knack for Hand to Hand Combat!" I said excited. Father sat back down looking happy but a bit disappointed. I felt bad, becuase I knew he wanted me to be more like him and Aventus.

"Honey don't be sad" said Mother to Father, "Feel happy to know that he might be great at something different. I did say those eyes of his don't lie!" Said Mother with pride in her voice.

"You are Right! Aventus here will be the one to inherit my Knighthood and you Solus I hope that in the coming of years we will find out what you are good at, I love it!.... Although your grandfather was an amazing Magus and also a General which is the highest and strongest position a Knight can ask for." Said Father clapping his hand so the food can be delivered. Aventus looked at me and winked smiling slightly. I laughed quietly because last night he came into my room to explain how he received a letter form the council to go and train a newly graduated Group of knights that finish the famous Knight Academy Excalibur. He wants me to go with him, I told him that might be impossible as I have classes and I still am a kid going to school. He waved his hand in front of him sideways reassuring me that everything will work out.

"Father, I got a letter from The Council of the king, I am needed at the Kingdom of Mountains on the West, They want me to train the new recruits that finished the knight training and graduated from Excalibur. Is it ok if I can have Solus come with me?, Its only for 2 weeks and, it will give me the opportunity to train him and spend more time together as brothers" Said Aventus giving father a say yes look.

Father almost chocked on his food, "That's a marvelous idea! Who knows, maybe training with Aventus will make you feel more a knight than a magus eh?" Said Father laughing and coughing out food.

"Please be careful!" Said mother.

"Thank you I am better now" said Father wiping his face with a napkin and smiling very brightly.

"I was talking to Solus" said mother with a serious face. Father looked at her and kept eating quietly. She winked at me and continued eating. I finished first and excused myself from the table.

"Don't forget to shower and brush your teeth!" Said Mother as I ran out the door.

"I know Mom!" I said running as fast as I could to my room. I opened my door and looked around smiling. My room was the size of 3 rooms put together and don't make me talk about the bathroom. My room had a small library on the corner left with a chair and magic lamp to read, my bed was in the center way too big for me, and on the right side was a small training area with dummies and weapons, also targets. I took my clothes off and jumped into my bath/pool becuase that's how big my bathroom was. After a while I jumped out and washed myself with soap and other things. I dries myself with a simple spell that I learned from my teacher. I out clothes on and walked to the library.

"You know Young Solus, the first time you did that spell you ended up blowing away everything on the field outside and then fainted." Said a voice behind laughing.

"Yeah well I'm really weak so I make my Father and Mother worry." I said opening a new book. "I find books fascinating... I wish I could have known about them before."

"Before?..." Asked the voice.

"Stop acting like a fool DART!" I gave dart a slap on his shadow face.

"Ow! I hate the fact that you! A small kid can even touch me or see me at all!... But those eyes of yours... When I first saw you I knew you were different, not from here or from this dimension just like your Grandfather!." Said Dart turning into the Black Raven.

"Yeah well, I remember reading Grandfather's book over and over knowing that you would still be here even after his disappearance. Now back to the task at hand, I may have memorized the books, but it is still hard to grasp how magic works in this world... Dart do you know what I really am?" I asked him with my eyebrow raised.

"A kid human that may or may not be powerful one day. You do know... You make a very good Librarian. Maybe working in the Main Capital's huge library might actually give you an insight into what you are looking for." Said Dart jumping from bookshelves over and over.

"Not a bad idea, but I am just 12 years old, not much that I can do right now. I've managed to train my body strong like Fritz taught me. In the ways of Father's knighthood. But then when I ask mother to teach me magic she says she does not have any and it hurts to even think about any spells... I wish there was a way I could help her." I closed the book and stood to browse around for any other... Unfortunately I have read all of them already. "I need to get new books".

"You need to go out more!" Said Dart flying down to my shoulder.

"Look Dart, I know that you are bound to Grandfather and-" the door slammed opened.

"Solus we leave today at noon!" Said Aventus running towards me and giving me a strong hug. "Wow my training is helping you, I didn't even hear you say stop!". Aventus kept touching me all over, I pushed him off.

"Well after getting hugged by you so many times I got used to it." Aventus stayed looking at me with a confused face...

"You know... For a 12 year old Baby brother, you act like your a hundred! Hahahaha!" Aventus kept laughing none stop. I laughed with him a little bit sarcastically,

"Hahaha... Yeah if only you knew" I said quietly.

"What?" Aventus stopped laughing and looked at me before walking out, "never mind, be ready by noon. We have a long road ahead of us, About a Week's trek up the road in horse back, and bring your weapons because you might never know what could happen and you need the experience."

I nodded at him and kept packing a small batch of clothes and a sleeping bag. I ran to the training area in my room to a small table that was on the corner, on top was a 4 foot box with art around it of weapons and next to it on the floor was a big chest filled with training armor and other things. I slowly opened the box and sat down with my legs crossed, I took the sword and examined it for a while, It was a weird style that Father said did not come from here. (The shape of a roman sword) I loved how the color Silver blended in with the red and black on the hilt, the blade was a shining silver that had a glow around it. From the hilt to the center of the sword there were words described on it. I did not understood the language, but Dart told me that even he does not know what the name is. Father finding it was something of luck or maybe fate even.

"I would keep that with you all the time along the trip." Said Dart gliding from the bookshelves and transforming into a lizard landing on my left shoulder. His thin tongue tickled my cheek. His scales were a very dark green almost black. His pure white eyes were still the same.

"How come your scales are dark green? I though you'd be black all over." I asked him while putting the sword in its red flame scabbard.

"Well think of me as a miniature dragon, without the horns, claws, big teeth, wings and other things except the scales which gives me protection." Said Dart climbing to the top of my head.

"Okay protection from?... Never mind Should I take my Bow?" I asked myself.

"Zzzz..." Dart was snoring on top of my head curled together.

"Sigh... And they called me old hahahaha" I slowly took him out of my head and laid him on my pillow, while he slept I finished my packs with other essentials. I knew what to take and what not to take thanks to mother. She knew how to survive in any of the wilderness in the Region. She taught me medicine with herbs among other things. But I mostly learned it from the books I read... What I need is real outside practice!.

I stood up and tapped my feet on the floor to make my boots fit. I walked to the magic mirror(not that magic mirror) its a mirror that bends light and makes itself small or big to see your self easier. I couldn't stop shaking badly every time I saw myself.

"I'm a human... With short Silver hair, short on top and shaved on the sides and three black lines running on my right side, My eyes are the same as before, but there is something different about them I assume is Becuase of mother. My body was well formed for a 12 year old thanks to father's training method in internal energy. I wonder what the others would say if they see me like this. I laughed at the though. I heard my name being called outside, I hurried and got some loose clothes like always so people think I am skinny.

"I'm going!" I answered back saying goodbye to Dart and closing the door behind me, I ran down the stairs mid way before stopping. "The sword!" I ran back up the stairs and retrieved my sword. I was afraid of being late so I used one of my abilities which it appears that everyone is born with at least one, according to some books this ability is only given to those of greatness... But on the other hand if I see a magic being chanted and I see it once I can use it too. So its very good in my case. "Speed Boost" I said and glowed for a second, I ran forward in a flash arrived next to Aventus who was on his horse outside.

"I'm here!!" I screamed next to him. He jumped out of his horse and fell with a hard thunk sound.

"Ow! Solus stop doing that, I know you love using your amazing not fair ability, but please stop!" Aventus got up and calmed down his horse, "Now let's head out!" He commanded his 3 soldiers, which were dying laughing.

I walked to my horse, his name was Brave. He was a mix of colors, brown and white patches, his eyes were sky blue, which was very weird for a horse to have. Mother told me that the horses in this land are special due to there lineage of Magic animals. I walked towards Brave and stroke his neck, "Hey Brave, ready?" I asked him. He looked at me with those eyes and pushed me to get on, "I'll take that as a yes!"

Father and Mother stood at the doors waving to us good bye with a smile. Mom kept screaming at me to be careful and to always have a clean underwater and to wash my mouth and ugh.... You know the rest.

It was a beautiful day, no clouds, the sun shined brightly and a small breeze would blow from time to time. The grass fields moved as if an ocean of green grass blades danced with the wind in a never ending dance. I looked around to see the Manor were we live. According to father, he has a high position in the king's Knights. I don't know any of the information yet, but he told me that he is with the war council of the king. He's been in brake for a week now since there's been a peace treaty going strong for 50 years or so. But there are many dangers. I would know I've read about most of them. We were close to the Town Alberich in the Honor of my grandfather. We made our way to the town that was a 4 hour trip. We stopped at the the same stream that we used to when me and Aventus would play outside. I know I'm still young but when I was a baby about 5 years old, Aventus brought me here and we got attacked by a pack of Demon Wild Dogs, there were 6 and a big one behind them. The leader I assume. Aventus pushed me behind him and pulled out his sword,

"Stay behind me Solus. If we time it right we can defeat them all." He sounded brave and he was not afraid. Determination and honor was in his blood. I peeked over his side and looked into the pack leaders eyes. I smiled, for they reminded me of the amusing dogs of my old life. One of them sneaked behind us and attacked, Aventus threw me in the air and attacked at the dog slicing him in half, the body turned into shadow dust. He caught me again and put me down. Oh yeah I forgot to say Aventus's ability is boost on his physical state. When the pack leader walked over I felt a sensation and a voice entered my mind.

"We are not here to hurt you. We were trying to punish the stupid demon that attacked you from behind. He did treason." Said the voice in my mind, I looked deep into the leaders eyes and the dogs started to whimper. Without knowing I was showing them my true self in their minds.

"Please O great dragon... Don't hurt us. We meant no harm" pleaded the leader. I blinked and nodded. They turned around and fled.

"See that Solus your big brother protected you!" Said Aventus smiling. When we got back to the house he got a beating from mother. Right there and then I knew that I was still my true self inside... And that with this I can start all over.

"Solus?" Said someone.

I continued deep in though.

"Solus!" Said the voice with more force.

I blinked and look around, "What?!"

"We've arrived brother. Welcome back to Alberich! Its been years since you came here". Said Aventus opening his arms wide with a huge grin.

I smiled and continued on, I was behind big brother's horse. We arrived at a store to buy a few things. I got down and was amazed by how everything looked different. I gave my horse reins to Ric one of the three soldiers.

I was younger when I can here, but now I can see things more clearly and with more sense. The streets were filled with vendors, people in different clothes walking about buying food, knights and sells words were walking around buying weapons and armors. Aventus smiled at me and gave me a hand full of gold coins.

"Here's 20 gold coins, meet me here at sun down, no more later than that ok?." Said big brother with a serious face.

"Yes Sir!" I responded with a fist to my heart.

"Hahahaha very well!" He entered the store with 2 of his knights and the other 2 waited outside with the horses. I waited for a bit trying to remember their names. The second in command of Big brothers own team was Shrike he was the same age as Aventus and he's been friends with him since a long time. The other three were three brothers, hahahaha I know. Who knew that there were going to be three brothers together. Either way I don't know their names becuase they like to mess with me and tell me different ones, what I do know is that the one with the beard is Donny, the other one with horses is Ric, but that other one.... Don maybe...

I started wandering around the markets outside, just looking to see if anything catches my eyes. After a while I found myself walking to a narrow street that led to a run down Store. An old guy sat next to the door, he had a straw hat on, with a faded vest and broken pants, no shoes? There was a scar on his chest like a big X. His white beard ran down to his chest and his hat covered his eyes, "Thats a weird way to dress here... Maybe he is from somewhere else." I said louder than I intended.

"Wah-?!" The old man looked at me with a serious glare that turned murderous. I could feel the pressure around me, a heavy pressure I kept looking at his eyes that showed he has been through a lot, however, But I did not back away or fell, actually I felt normal in a sense this does not scare me at all or makes me want to beg for forgiveness.... This human thinks he can mess with me... Hmph. I closed my eyes, I could feel his gaze upon me even harder, and I knew he felt like he won, but I concentrated my inner energy and used a bit of magic to gather it in my souls eyes. I opened my eyes and I could see more clearly than before. I looked back at the old mans eyes and his serious gaze turned into one of fear.

"I'll show you what fear is!" I said to him smiling. I showed a tiny bit of my murderous Aura mixed with my real soul. What he saw I do not know, but he stopped his attack and bowed down to one knee.

"Forgive me! I was a fool to think you were a mere child.... Please I will do anything." Said the old man.

"Ok I- I would like to know why did you attacked me mentally." I said to him smiling.

"It is the trial everyone must go through, before being able to enter the store... Also I felt that you were not a normal kid, your inner energy is all over the place." Said the Old man bowing down again.

"Why are you bowing down so much?" I asked him feeling confused.

"Becuase Young Lord... I saw a bit of your true self... And that almost made my heart stop." Said the old man sitting back on the chair slowly not taking his eyes off of my feet he was sweating and started shaking.

"Okay... Why are you looking at my feet?" I asked him.

"Becuase the eyes of the dragons can only be looked at, if I think that I am stronger than you. That I can best you. But you are something ancient... I dare not speak of this to no one. I Lucky Monkey swear to not speak of what I have seen today in the word of Raz'ar. The ground shook a little bit. I looked at him confused, he went back to sleep,

"Go on in, any questions will be answered in due time. Do not rush into things young lord.... Things change quickly" said Lucky with a chuckle.

I continued pass him, "My apologies Lucky if I have made you uncomfortable." I said to him with a bow. He looked at me slowly and went to sleep again,

"No one has ever treated me with this respect and never someone as strong as you.... If you ever need my help let me know. I will gladly give you a helping hand." Said the old man without looking up.

I smiled and pushed the door. There was the sound of a bell and I entered the store with my mouth wide open. It was a store of multiple things, from potions to weapons, animals, Different herbs and clothing hanging on the Walls, and things that I have never seen before.... Is that slaves?!, I started to back up slowly and went into a full sprint back to the market street. I didn't look back, but whatever it was there is no need for a 12 year old kid to be wandering in it. I made it back before running into someone.

"Hey! Why are you in such a rush boy?" Said the person who was wearing weird rugged clothes.

"Sorry I took a wrong turn." I said apologising very fast. I went to run when two knights blocked my way.

"Now now... There is no need to run, we can help you get to wherever you need to be" said the mysterious man. I looked at him in disgust. This human... Reminds me of... Those who betrayed me. They think that I will let them bully me?!. I gathered my energy to blast all of them out of my sight.

"STOP!" Said a lady running towards me. "Son how many times must I tell you to wait for your father the Captain of this city in your house?" She said winking at me.

"Thank you uh nice lady." I said understanding her idea.

"Oh we were trying to help my lady." Said the vile man with his two knights. They continued walking and the vile man took one last look at me with a grin and walked away.

"Thank you!" I said to the lady and ran back to my brother, I turned around and saw the lady smiling and disappearing in a flash. I blinked, "Why are so many weird things happening?!", I stopped running and decided to buy a few things On the way there, I found some stones and demon core crystals that can be used to train.

"Ok your here early Solus, How was your time in this town?" Asked big brother.

"Very.... Confusing" I said slowly.
