The awakening of a warrior: Ethan

He had no other option, he launched an attack trying to hit the first man who was heading towards him, but with a powerful punch the man knocked him to the ground; While he was lying down, he saw a sharp stick about 2 meters long next to some rocks. He ran towards it, grabbed it and started swinging it in swordsman mode.

His skill with the stick surprised everyone, including himself; but something inside him called to him telling him to fight. One of the men threw his leg to give him a very strong kick, but the boy dodged every blow and resisted any kick. He charged with such ferocity that he stopped being defensive and attacked, once he knocked down two of the guards, the rest He stepped back for a moment. Several dozen of them followed the attack. New reinforcements were coming towards them, but the boy's determination was such that enemy after enemy fell under his blows, but they tore his wounds on the spot, making his movements a torture; So he had to jump into the river to escape. He swam a few minutes before reaching shore and ran into a dark alley. He sat on the ground clutching his wound.

One of Mr. Clayton's men followed the boy's trail until he found a pool of blood created by the sudden fall of rain.

-It's here, for... That man couldn't finish. A piece of broken glass came close to his neck. But his interrupted scream alerted his companions, but the young man did not have the strength to use his other arm and fight, he was unaware of the depth of his wound that had cut the muscles of his right forearm. At that moment came a final blow from behind him and he felt his body tremble and fall face down on the ground, his face turned towards the earth soaked by the stream that crossed the river.

Two days later.

He opened his eyes, but the sun's rays blinded him. He closed them again and then opened them again.

-What do you think of Lucas? Lucia asked.

-No, very similar to yours! Aldora responded.

-So Jason?

-Um... no, he'll remind me of Jason from high school! And what do you think of Oscar?

-no, very common

Aldora and Liliana were so absorbed in finding an appropriate name for the young man that they did not realize that he was already awake until he let out a small cry of pain. (Ahhh)

-Are you OK? Aldora asked. "You're finally awake, you've been sleeping for the past two days."

"Yes, we were anxious," Liliana added, "we have to eat a little to regain strength," she said as she took out a plate with fruits and healthy food.

-What happened? The boy asked as he held his head.

-You do not remember? You seemed like a different person; You beat up those gorillas like...

Hey! I know!!! Lucia said after the memory of her came to her mind "Hey!" Aldora, do you remember that movie we saw where the protagonist lost his memory before discovering that he mastered martial arts?

-Eh...Well of course!!! I think his name was Ethan.

-Then it's already decided, from now on we will call you Ethan.

-Ethan? "I like it," the young man said happily.

-"Well, it's my pleasure, Ethan," Aldora said as she shook his hand.

Two hours later // Clayton_house

Mr. Clayton was sitting in front of the fireplace with a glass of whiskey in his hand as he thought about the same phrase repeatedly "it's not because you have money and power that you think you can play god" until Aldora appeared.

-"Hello Grandpa," he said as he approached Mr. Clayton and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Ethan finally woke up."

-Ethan? And who is that?

-Oh, of course, I haven't told you. Today Liliana and I were looking for a name for the boy and we opted for Ethan. You had to see his face; he was happy as a mule hehehe

- Eithan huh? nothing bad. By the way, speaking of Liliana, how did you meet her?

-"At school, I think," she answered confused, "she got a scholarship, she's one of our best students." Why you ask?

"No, for nothing in particular," she sighed and added, "it's just that he told me a phrase that reminded me of your father."

-Ahh I see; Speaking of dad, you've never told me why he left or how he died.

-It's not the time yet, I'll tell you later.

-It's the same thing you said 2 months ago, we've been like this for two years and honestly I'm tired of waiting, if you don't want to tell me I'll find out on my own "with that, Aldora entered her bedroom."

-How long will you stay in the shadows? Mr. Clayton said to the housekeeper (Sonia) who was carrying a small plate with water and medicine.

-"It's time for his medication, sir," Sonia said as she stared at Mr. Clayton.

-Can I know what that look is about? Mr. Clayton asked as he took the pills from him.

-How long do you plan to hide the truth from Miss Aldora?

-Will you bother me with that too? Did I pay you to ask questions? "I'll decide when my granddaughter is old enough to face the truth," Clayton said furiously.

-You must keep in mind that her granddaughter already she is not a girl who can be bribed to let what happened go. Because the bigger she gets, the less the hope is that she will forgive him.

Mr. Clayton sighed for a few minutes and said "we'll see" then he sent one of the servants to call his granddaughter.

-That? What do you want? Aldora asked with annoyance and disinterest.

-It's about the young man, I mean Ethan.

-What's the matter with him?

-I continue investigating his case; But I must admit that his way of fighting impressed me a lot, although on the one hand it confirmed our suspicions about him. But given the circumstances, and if he really lost his memory, we can't waste his abilities.

"Get straight to the point, Grandpa," she said boredly. "What I mean is... would you like me to be your personal bodyguard?" He won't be wearing a suit or anything like that, but rather like an infiltrator, like another student at the center; At least until we know more about him

-Is it serious? She asked excitedly. "Of course!" Thank you Grandpa; —She said as she gave her grandfather a big hug, then called Lucía to tell her the news about her.

Mr. Clayton walked towards Sonia and whispered in her ear: "See? I know how to deal with my granddaughter, at least she will forget about it for the next few months."
