Chapter 3 - Mystro Family(1)

When his mother stopped spanking his butt, his stump went numb as he had to stagger to his room like a boozer.

His sisters turned him into a laughingstock but he didn't mind them, as he told them to leave his room. Layla was already twelve years old while Jaden was ten years of age.

When they went out of his room Kelan's face curled into a smile.

"I will make them my women once they are ripe hehe," he grinned as he laid down on his bed. 

Kelan remained indoors due to the spanking he received from his mother, he slept all night on an empty stomach, the second day when he woke up, it was already morning and it was his 5th birthday.

He was extremely happy because he would have the freedom to roam about and learn how to read and write. And also learn more about magical beasts. 

Suddenly, the door to his room opened and all his family came in, and sang a birthday song for him, when they were done, they left his room.

Kelan hastily took his bath and wore his best clothes even though it was already faded.

When he was done Amon called him, then he started teaching him the basics of reading and writing, he also warned him not to go deep into the forest because of the dangerous beasts.

Kelan was extremely happy as he will have the opportunity to play with his friends, Jacob and Tina, their neighbor's children. 

Three weeks passed by, Kelan was getting bored as he already knew the majority part of their city. Like the Hunters guild, their city lord, many noble families, and the crystal mine. 

He also followed his dad to his small piece of land occasionally and assisted him; his mother, Ana, was a petty trader in the city market. Life was getting tough for Kelan as he wasn't fed well and his body was malnourished. 

He only had three pairs of clothes, two pairs of trousers, and five oversized pants his father handed down to him.  

It wasn't his size but Kelan would use a thin rope to tie the pants around his small waist. 

Life was tough for Kelan but he knew it was only in the meantime. 

Kelan would often train himself and spar with older children of their city, they would call him all sorts of names like a weakling, bastard, and other insults they would throw at his plate, even his parents didn't have many friends as people wouldn't want to associate with them due to their proletarian life.

Kelan trained himself hard and he would spend most of his time studying with his sisters as they couldn't afford to go to school.

Two years went by and Kelan was already seven years old but he often behave more maturely than his age.

Layla was already a teenager. She is fourteen years old and she was also preparing to go to the government academy of Lucia. It is a military academy for supes and non-supes. 

When a kid is up to fourteen years of age, there is a rule that states that they must attend the academy.

Amon and Ana were cuddling and hugging Layla as she was about to go to the academy with all the children of her age, Amon handed her 10 silver coins which were his entire savings with tears in his eyes, Ana was also sobbing. 

Although Layla might not need the money, they gave her because of the unknown. Then they bid her farewell including other parents before the carriage that is powered by crystals which slightly resembles a bus on earth started carrying them away. 

Kelan and Jaden then ran after their parents after the carriage was no longer visible again. When they arrived home, Amon called Kelan to his room. When Kelan reached his dad's room his father told him to sit on the bed, and within the blink of an eye, Amon stood up and walked toward his wardrobe. 

He opened it and brought out a small wooden case, when he opened the case he pulled out a small pendant. Kelan's eyes lit up and glistened after seeing the pendant.

"Da..dad, wh..what is that"?

"The name of this pendant is MYSTRO, it's our family heirloom, that is why our family name is called MYSTRO"..... 

Kelan was dumbfounded.

Amon continued talking. 

"The pendant rarely chooses its successor, so I want to confirm if the pendant will choose you as its successor," Amon said.

As Amon brought the pendant closer to Kelan the pendant suddenly started to shine very brightly and the room started to tremble.
