A God Can't Love
Blessed or cursed?
???
"You, you my child are the one who shall be blessed and cursed at the same. A god who is falling down just for a mere child, a child I bless with wisdom, strength, sight and a heart. But I curse you with love, the strongest curse that has ever been created. Now wake up Ophilion."
Ivan
"He fell down. Is he god given?"
Marek
"Don't be foolish, he probably just failed."
Casion
"Failing? There isn't a house near nor is there a bird heavy enough to lift this boy."
Ivan
"He surely is given to us, he must he god given."
Marek
"Child, what's your name?"
Ophilion
"Failed what? I don't remember much. Just my name and a approximate age."
Marek
"So you are just cursed by given no brain?"
Ophilion
"No I have a brain, or so I assume. I think I just been born, my mother created me without knowledge but wisdom at the same time. May I ask where I am?"
Ivan
"God given, I told you Marek. Hello there I am Ivan, a royal hunter from Scarav."
Ophilion
"Can you take me to the city? I would like to learn more."
Casion
"Sure, come along we were heading there before you fell."
Ophilion
"I am sorry, are you hurt?"
Casion
"Huh? Haha, you are a funny lad, no you haven't hurt anyone here."
Casion
"My name is Casion, a hunter just like Ivan. Marek on the other hand is a guard to make sure we don't steal or kill to much prey."
Marek
"Well, then we should head to the capital drop you off at the library and deliver the goods."
Wisdom
Ophilion
"Thank you for bringing me here. Have a safe trip."
Ophilion
A library, yeah this seems like a good place to learn more.
Librarian
"Excuse me can I help you by any chance?"
Ophilion
"Ah, I would like some books about Scarav fighting and survival. Just anything that has knowledge is fine."
Librarian
"Oh my, aren't you a smart child. Yes please wait I will be back soon."
After a little while the librarian came back with a huge arrangement of different books.
Librarian
"You can read them on a table and decide which one you want to take with you for a while, just be sure to give them back in a great condition or else you need to repay."
Ophilion
"Thank you, I'll make sure they are handled with care."
And just like that Ophilion read the entire arrangement of twenty seven books absorbing the knowledge in there till dawn.
Ophilion
"Madame, do you have some more books about advanced magic and sword fighting as well as another book about medical care and it's herbs?"
Librarian
"I see so these are the ones that picked your interest, sure I can show you where to find them. Follow me."
Ophilion took the books with him and read them in a park outside. Finishing them soon after. He wandered around wanting to practice all the things he learned. After a while he came across a flower shop, the lights still on. Carefully he entered the shop fascinated by the huge arrangement of decorative and medical plants.
Medic
"Hi there, can I help you?"
Ophilion
"Oh it just looked pretty and it seemed like this store is still open, I am sorry to bother."
Medic
"No it's fine do you want to buy anything specific?"
Ophilion
"I don't have money on me."
Medic
"Then what about working here part-time? Helping me taking care of the plants in the evening. I would pay you three coins an hour and you could work 3 a day each day in a week, mh. How old are you child?"
Ophilion
"I think I am 14."
Medic
"Yes, you'll stay with me attend school and help out in the evening. That's good. Sounds good to you?"
Ophilion
"Thank you for your kindness."
Medic
"You know, I am blessed with sight and I sense that you will do great things one time so I nurture you to help Scarav out by bringing them a great medic or fighter."
Ophilion
"I can learn how to fight?"
Medic
"Yes boys are required to learn to yield a sword just how they are required to learn basic magic. I'm sure you have no problems doing either."
Excited Ophilion learned and was soon assigned a private teacher to challenge him a bit, with no luck. They said he was a god given child, not knowing what it really meant.
