The Owner of the Inn part 1

The sound of chirping woken up Alexius he open his eyes and look at the ceiling as he gathered his thoughts. As the memories replayed into his head then he started to get up. He was dazed for a second and then walk towards the window as the curtains blew against him. Outside the window, he can see the Yggdrasil across the cities. As the wind blew against his face ruffling his hair as the soft winds brush his clothes.

"Beginning huh..."

As he combs his hair then leans back as he sighs, he began doing his morning routine. Which would be exercising he then starts to warm up then proceeds to train his swordsmanship, magic, and tactical strategies. He picks up his two-bladed sword and starts to practice, he closes his eyes as he immerses himself as if he was on a battlefield. The sounds of explosions, shouts of soldiers fighting against each other as the scent of blood lingers in the air. He opens him as he found himself in the war two opposing sides fight each other. Determine to kill one another suddenly he was attacked by some at the front.

He slashes to the front and supports the second attack with his left sword. He rolls to the right side and hits the opponent at the back. The opponent falls to the ground yet another one appears. Not only one but three of them all surrounded him all of the three simultaneously attack him on all sides.

Alexius blocks the front attack with the right sword and stabs the left one in his neck. The third one attacks him at his back but was a block of his sword. The front did not also waste the opportunity and roll to his left-right side and stabs through his right lung. Alexius grunts in pain and takes back the sword and slices his neck with his right sword.

There was a sound of a knock on his door he was taken back to reality and notice someone at the door.

"Alexius it's time for breakfast! Are you coming?" It was Elijah Alexius takes back his murderous aura and recollected himself.

"Yes."

"Well, then we'll wait in the lobby."

As the sound of footsteps goes away then Alexius puts away his sword as he enters the bathroom. He then opens the shower as the waterfalls at him, as the memories rush in back he was in Ethdael. It was the place where his Aunt train him when he was young he trained to fight at a very young age. Among his peers, he was the most outstanding and genius student which garners envy from others. After that incident, he has chosen to abandon his feelings. He was afraid of losing someone he cared that if he became too greedy then someday they would be taken away. Many have attempted to make friends with him but most of them are not in good intentions. He has seen a lot of faces malicious agendas behind those smiling faces. He has lost trust the only exception he can make was his aunt who raised him. She treated her like her very own son she raised him alone. She thought him a lot of things such as swordsmanship, magic, warfare, and others.

She was an amazing woman despite the bulky appearance she has the heart of gold. That also makes him scared even more what if his aunt would him? What if what happened to his mother would happen to his Aunt? He is scared and anxious because he might not able to protect the people that he treasures the most. That's why I need to become stronger, stronger than anyone so that he has the strength to protect them. Even to the Gods who made this world, he could challenge the whole world for the sake of his precious ones. And make the people who hurt them pay for their crimes. He doesn't mind if he has to dirty his hands he will make them pay for everything. They would suffer greatly than death which would make them envy the dead.

The people who killed his mother I will surely find and make them suffer slowly and painfully forever. As he opens his eyes as if it was the opening of the abyss that swirls with darkness and madness. His eyes are like a predator waiting for his prey in the wild with playing them within his hand forever.

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

Alexius walk towards the lobby as he arrived he saw the two already waiting for him. He couldn't help but stare at them and thought why these two are following me? What made them follow me? His thoughts were broken by a grumpy complaint of Amelia.

"Are you just going to stand in there? Or are we going to eat?" Which earn a slap in the head by Elijah as he started to reprimand her. Then they begin to argue with each other like a child. Alexius just look at the two although the two were busy arguing with each other. They didn't notice the smile that Alexius has shown it was very brief as if it was an illusion it returns to his poker face. As he started to walk towards the elevator ignoring the two who are still arguing.

"Let's go."

The two hurriedly followed Alexius like ducklings Amelia even push Elijah as she hurriedly catches up with Alexius. Elijah also counter-attacks with a foot that made Amelia trip. Elijah shows a triumph look which earns a glare from Amelia as they hurriedly followed Alexius to the elevator.

They arrived on the first floor which has a lively atmosphere there are other customers. Ordering their meals and enjoying their meal the three search for an open table and found on the northeast which is unoccupied. Amelia hurriedly sits at the table just on time another group also arrives at the table. Amelia looks at the people who tried to occupy the table. There are 5 people in that group a twin, a blonde-haired man with a feather on his left ear, a purple head woman with a big chest, and a muscled man with red hair.

"Oh, man! This is our table we came here first!" As the muscle guy whines at Amelia which earns a snort from her.

"First come first serve." As she smirks at him which makes the muscle guy annoyed he then raises his voice in anger.

"You meanie!" As he bangs his chest as if a provocation towards Amelia in response to the man's action was a deadpan face. She thought to this man's actions, why is he acting like he was a gorilla? And his words contradict his actions Amelia was a bit confused then concluded.

'Ah! whatever not my problem anyway!'

Dismiss that issue immediately because as what she said not her problem. Let it be if he wanted it that way, she is not one to judge what should and should not others should do.
