The Rise Of The Seeker
Happy Birthday's

The full moon is perfectly round in the night sky decorated with sparkling stars.

The wind slowly blew his long hair, making Alzent stunned for a moment especially when the moonlight shone on the color of his very beautiful green eyes.

The deg!

Alzent's heart was beating so fast, he felt his chest feel a strange feeling that he had never felt and tried not to believe if he really found it.

"What's wrong?" yuna asked worriedly.

"Oh, there's nothing" Alzent replied quickly "Um, want to come with me? I know a wonderful place to rest if you want" she asked without knowing that Yuna was the little wolf who always accompanied her.

'It seems he really doesn't know, let time tell' Yuna let out a long sigh, feeling a little disappointed but because of her feelings for Alzent long ago, she will wait no matter how long "Yeah, show me"

That night, the wind kept blowing slowly. Alzent was still thinking about where the wolf went and was intent on looking for it, as he was the only friend to Alzent.

"You look moody, what's up?" ask Yuna.

Alzent picked up a stone and threw it down the river "I'm actually waiting for a white wolf that always accompanies me here, he's the only friend I have, whereas in the Academy I'm nobody, just a student without magic power who every day oppressed without being able to fight" Alzent threw another stone that now managed to bounce far enough "Nice"

"What do you mean you don't have magic powers?"

"I don't have it, I don't know when. When I was 7 years old, I could use magic that was even too big for a boy my age. I thought I would have many friends and be the most powerful in the Academy, but look at me now, a teenager who has just had a birthday, an adult yet I still complain about this"

Yuna stood up, picked up a stone and threw "There's no harm in you complaining, not because you're an adult you can't complain" overstepping Alzent's "Yess... Precisely because you have reached adulthood, the complaint is needed to make yourself more mature and smart to digest the situation. It's just, don't do it too often and it's better that the complaint is kept to yourself"

Alzent stopped throwing stones, sat on his favorite boulder, saw stars scattered in the sky "You know, I want to be like one of those stars, shining brightly adorning the dark night sky"

Yuna sat down next to him "Why should I be a star when I can be a moon? Perhaps your current loss of magic power is the same as when the moon is entering its first phase and is slowly rising to show its beauty, just like you"

"I wanted to believe it so much, but I was also afraid to accept something that had that much responsibility"

"Why not hope?"

Alzent flinched in surprise "Eh?"

"Because if believing is hard, why not hope? Hope is easy to accept and makes you get a new purpose in life, even though later your expectations are not in accordance with reality, you simply live your life while searching for new hope until you actually get something you can trust, because trust is expensive and will be difficult to repair if it is broken"

Alzent was speechless to hear that, unexpectedly, this younger-looking girl had a much more mature mind than her. He clenched his hands tightly "Well, as you say, I will live my life as a hero"

"Pfft" Yuna was unable to hold back her laughter until she finally released "What? Her hero? You may wish, but it's too high"

Alzent pulled his sword, jumped behind Yuna and slashed the neck of a big black wolf "Yes, I know being a hero it's a pretty big role, but.." staring at Yuna "In this life, we have to accept everything that has been given to us, right?"

Yuna smiled "Alright, I understand. A big responsibility is needed to hold the sword, right?"

"Not only know, it was my grandfather who forged the weapon and now I really know who you really are" Yuna slowly approached the teenager in front of her "Alzent Zenorya, I just remembered that Uncle Arthur's last name was Zenorya. You're the son of Arthur Zenorya"

Alzent panicked as his uncle forbade Alzent from revealing his true identity to others "Umm, I have to go home immediately"

"Ah, coincidentally. I also need to see Uncle Yugar to talk about something"

Inevitably, Alzent tells Yuna to come with him, hearing that he knows Yugar's uncle, maybe Yuna is an important person or one of the students he is hiding?

Once inside the house, Yugar is shocked to stare at the figure behind Alzent and immediately pulls Alzent away, whispering "Why did you bring him here?"

"He asked for it" Alzent's bales was puzzled.

"Uncle knows you're trying to find a girl, but why should she? Why should Heart of the Forest?"

"What is the Heart of the Forest?"

"Ehem"

"Ahh, forgive my impoliteness princess Yuna" Yugar quickly knelt before Yuna while slowly cursing Alzent "You will see Alzent's vengeance"

Although still confused by the situation, Alzent also knelt down, replying "It's your fault for never telling her who it is"

They both stood up "What do you mean? You see him every night, even he saved your life when you were a kid"

Alzent got more confused, then noticed Yuna 'I've met her?' he immediately gasped and fell silent "Don't you. You are the little wolf who always accompanies me?!"

Yuna smiled gently, a smile she had always wanted to show her "I'm glad you know"

As long as Yuna and Yugar were talking about something very secretive, Alzent had heard from behind the door the most mentioned words were 'The Legion and The Seeker' afterwards Alzent was unable to hear anything else and chose to lie down on a bench, shortly falling asleep.

When Yuna came out, they saw the handsome teenager who had such a great destiny, sleeping comfortably without regard for the world, making them smile, hoping that Alzent could have that peace a little longer.

Yuna stepped closer, lowered her head, kissing Alzent on the lips for quite a while. Yugar is a little uncomfortable and envious to see Alzent get the heart of an angel-like princess.

"Happy birthday Alzent" he kisses her again until a sign on Alzent's shoulder appears, a beautiful blue butterfly emblem.

"Master princess, it's...

Yuna smiled "I know and I'm ready to accept the consequences" her gaze softened "Please take care of her for me, I really love her" Yuna asked, it then turned into a wolf figure of great size and disappeared into the forest.

Yugar looked at the teenager in front of him "You always cause trouble, now you are the fiancee and owner of the Heart of The Forest, let alone what you will get with your face" his lecture while lifting Alzent on the shoulder went inside the house.
