3 Who is this boy who ignores Aegiri?
The next day the villagers prepared for the search of Aegiri in the Spirit Forest.
In Salgot's house were still sleeping two people. They were Aegiri and the boy. Salgot went early to the forest to get fresh ingredients for the breakfast. He was still out when the boy woke up.
The boy was uncomfortable. Every time he looked at the door where Aegiri was sleeping, he felt pain where his injuries where in another time. The boy went to the garden and took care of the flowers. The boy was six years old, he had a beautiful long black hair that reached his shoulders. His eyes were of two colors, one was dark grey, and the other one was light grey, his eyes were big, but in his look there was not the bright of a child of six years, instead of that, his look showed a look that saw a horrible war. Finally, Aegiri woke and got up from her bed. She was still sleepy when Salgot returned to the house "Good morning Aegiri, breakfast will be ready in ten minutes" Aegiri looked at him and remembered everything that happened "Good morning big brother Salgot" Salgot laughed "I think you aren't costume to talk to adult in an informal way" Aegiri's face got red. She heard a loud sound outside the house. She ran and opened the door, while she was getting outside, Salgot thought "I want to see his face when he saw that Aegiri is watching him with a smile in her face" and laughed.
Aegiri looked at the garden and saw a boy with long black hair completely wet from head to toe, and she started laughing, at that moment the boy listens to her and turns her to look with an expression of surprise and annoyance. Aegiri smiled "Hi! You are the kid which lives with big brother Salgot, right? It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Aegiri" the boy ignored her completely and continue to water the flowers. Because Aegiri didn't understand why he acted like that she got closer to him and watched him carefully. The boy reacted in surprise. He remembered everything what happened to him when he was the lord of darkness and light. He knew that Aegiri had the control of the five elements, but he also knew that something was different from the man he fought a lot of years ago. Her fifth power was different from lightning, he felt something cold and warm. He finished watering the flowers and returned to the house. Aegiri followed him. Salgot put the table and the plates with the breakfast "Well, I can assume that you both now know each other" the boy gave her a fierce look and started eating his breakfast. Aegiri also started having breakfast. Salgot was not surprised by the expression the boy showed him. When the three of them finished eating Salgot looked at the sky "Aegiri, I think it's time for you to return to your village, I'm sure everyone should be worried and they even went into the forest to look for you" Aegiri nodded and got up from the table "Goodbye" the boy ignored her again. After saying goodbye, Aegiri took Salgot's hand, and together they left the house to enter the forest. Meanwhile, the people of the town were inside the forest calling her. They knew that Aegiri should be in the forest. Each time they dived deeper and deeper into the forest, they feared the fate of the girl. At that, they heard some laughter and were shocked, but the head of the town recognized both laughter "Calm down, he's just an old friend and I think he brings Aegiri with him".
Salgot saw and recognized the village chief and greeted him with a smile. Aegiri was happy to see the villagers, and they were happy to see her. Aegiri found it strange that Mr. Hank knew Salgot, but he did not mention anything. She said goodbye to Salgot "Little Aegiri, you can return when you want, just make sure you say my name when you go into the forest, this way the forest will show you the way" Aegiri was very happy and nodded affirmatively. Both said goodbye.
They all returned to the village and Salgot to his house. Chief Hank took Aegiri with his grandmother. Elder Esti completely erased her face the anguish she felt when she did not know anything about Aegiri "I'm sorry grandmother, I did not let you know that I was going to enter the forest, and when I tried to return I lost myself" the elder Esti was crying with joy when she saw that her beloved granddaughter was well and safe"Good thing to lose myself, in that forest I met the older brother Salgot and a boy whose name I still do not know, but I hope someday he will tell me" Aegiri sounded happy, but the face of the Grandmother changed when she heard the name of Salgot and about the boy, the chief Hank had also changed his expression "Aegiri, I want you to remember not to be very fond of those two people you met" "But ..." "No buts , now go out and play with the guys from the villa while I talk about something with the boss" Aegiri got upset and left the house. "Hank, I do not think it's good that they met at such an early age, I remember perfectly that Salgot had told us that the boy remembers who he was a long time ago, and that he has a deep feeling against the man who defeated him" Hank sat on a chair that was within reach "I know, but they already met and it is certain that he already knows about her powers, even about her fifth power" Elder Esti was very concerned about that fifth power, she knew that they should be lightning and not what Aegiri had "Elder Esti, by the powers that Aegiri has I suppose that the first king also had it, if I remember the story well, it is never mentioned that he used lightning, only the record is that he used fire, water, wind, and earth" the grandmother of Aegiri knew perfectly that story "I think we just have to wait".
At night, Aegiri returned to her house "Grandmother, I know that you told me not to get close to big brother Salgot and the boy, but I want to visit them. Please let me go everyday" her grandmother looked at her and sighed "You have my permission, just promise me that you will take care of yourself and never let your guard down" Aegiri's eyes bright "Yes grandmother, I promise" Aegiri was going to sleep when her grandmother jumped "I totally forget something important to tell you, the next year an elder will come to the village to select the kids that will have the chance to learn how to control their powers in the royal academy" Aegiri got excited "I will go to a school".
After that Aegiri went everyday for a year to Salgot's house and every time she went and tried to talk to the boy, the boy ignored her.
The day when the elder was coming finally arrived. Aegiri was now five years old. Aegiri went to Salgot's house to say good bye. "Little Aegiri remember that if you have any problem in the school, you can call me with this coral, I will be there for you" Aegiri took the Cora and started to cry, the boy heard her while he was watering the flowers. Aegiri went outside "I think I will take a flower to remember you" she was taking the flower and having it in her hands she felt weak and fainted. At that moment the boy saw "No!" Salgot went quickly to the garden to hear the scream and saw that Aegiri was passed out in the arms of the child "Salgot! What I do? She does not wake up!" Salgot took her in his arms and carried her inside, after a few minutes, Aegiri reacted "Aegiri, I must tell you something, at this moment your powers were sealed" Aegiri was confused "Let me continue, you can continue using your powers but now they will be weaker, you understand?" Aegiri nodded affirmatively. In that, the door opened and the boy came in with two flowers, one white and one black. "A-Aegiri should not touch these flowers so carelessly, first they should be purified so that there are no effects like the one you suffered, however, it was my guilt that happened to you for having ignored all this year without mentioning you about the flowers" Aegiri was surprised and was very happy "I do not care what happened to me, since that made you talk to me" Salgot started to laugh "Aegiri, I think that it is time for you to return home for the elder's evaluation, and as for the flowers, do not say anything to your grandmother" Aegiri nodded affirmatively and when he was leaving the house, the boy touched his shoulder and she got stuck "I guess it's late but good luck in school, take these flowers, there will be no problems with them because I purified them" the boy remained silent while Aegiri took the flowers "And my name is Ethon".
