Chapter 4: Abandoned at the seashore.
A new day and a new morning. It all started with the rising sun, casting a rosy hue across the sky, lighting up the clover kingdom, and the bright-looking milky clouds awaking from their slumber and beginning to roam around the sky.
Fresh, windy, cool and crispy air started whistling like an invisible ghost. The red and green in colour birds with chilli-like beaks started twitching their morning melody.
In the forsaken realm, the Sosshi village stood like a small island encircled by forest. the thick, dried, strong brown big branches of trees dancing to welcome the morning.
The curtain covering the window added an orange glow to the morning light as it lit up the room. Bright enough to wake up Sid.
Sid groaned, half-opening his drowsy eyes, and what came into his sight was a fuzzy wooden ceiling.
His body felt cold as he slept on the floor, prompting him to wriggle, 'I can't...I want to sleep more,' Sid wanted to get up, but his lazy body, alongside his heavy eyelids, was holding him back and thus he fell asleep again.
In the forest.
Drake was seated under a tree with his legs crossed. He sat there motionless, taking deep breaths and gently exhaling them. He couldn't put into words how relaxed he felt while doing this activity.
He does this for a few minutes before opening his energetic eyes. He felt like a flood of energy coursing through his veins, screaming at him to fight or kill.
Drake smiles and cracks his finger. He stood up and took out his grimoire. His grimoire has a silver-coloured cover with intricate borders and a three-leaf clover insignia at the centre of the front cover.
It began to float before him. The grimoire opened, and pages began to flip before stopping at a certain page with a spell written on it.
[ Sword Magic: Sword of Behamoth ]
A massive and thick sword appeared out of the page with a length of more than 200cm, which is longer than the height of its wielder, Drake.

*thump...
Drake grabs the hilt of the sword and swings it with enough force to cause a gust of wind.
"Alright! It's time for some kills," Drake smiled menacingly as he rested the blade of his sword on his right shoulder and walked deep into the forest.
Speaking of Drake, Blaze is also in this forest. He is doing push-ups with a large boulder on his back while constantly counting the number of push-ups with his mouth.
His entire body is drenched in sweat, dripping on the ground, but there is no hint of tiredness, only determination to surpass his past limits.
At the trio's next-door neighbour's house.
A woman was sitting on a chair, breastfeeding two babies at the same time, and one of them was Tobi.
The woman has white skin, black hair, and a decent face. Reba Scarlet is her name. She is 28 years old, fell pregnant 10 months ago and recently gave birth to a boy.
Yesterday, the village mayor came in person and asked her whether she could breastfeed a baby while explaining about the infant's origin.
She felt sorry after learning that the baby had been abandoned by the seashore, and by observing it, she can discern that the infant is barely a month old. It's all thanks to Drake and his friends, that the baby survived.
Reba couldn't comprehend individuals who were ruthless enough to abandon an innocent life at mercy of death, and this time the life was a baby, as a mother, it aches her heart. She would never leave her baby like that.
Reba looked at her son before looking at Tobi, she smiled, don't know why, but seeing them quietly sucking her breast made her happy.
"William, I hope you will become good friends with Tobi," Reba whispered with a gentle smile before resting her head on the top back of the chair. Lost in thoughts about how their future will unfold.
Tick...tick...tick
And with the ticking sound of the clock that hangs on the wall, time passes, and the sun began to set, replace by the pale crescent moon that shone like a silver claw in the night sky.
By this time, Tobias is in Sid's room, sleeping on Sid's bed and the trio is in the living room. They were all sitting on a chair with bored expressions on their faces, except Sid. He likes this lazy life.
"Sigh...such a boring day. I miss those days when we used to trespass the Diamond Kingdom at night," Blaze murmured as he supported his head with his right hand.
Drake also agreed, remembering those days when they were being chased by both diamond and Clover kingdom knights, lost in dungeons, looting nobles but only 20℅ of their belongings, trespassing areas and many more. Those days were packed with excitement and fun.
"Even if it's boring, adapting to this way of life is our priority," Sid stated with an energetic voice as if he were enthusiastic about it.
Blaze and Drake, gave him a brief glance, before turning their heads away. He was ignored and thus their night activity comes to an end.
Days started to pass as it became a month, for Drake and his friend, Blaze, this month is like hell, every day they have to face everlasting boredom.
They felt as if they were locked in a cage but with keys in their hands. It isn't a problem to leave but they opted not to because there is something both of them want to protect, and that is Tobias.
He is now 2 months old and growing normally alongside Reba's kid, William.
In the last month, no strange magical beasts appeared, which surprised Seihi because it's been 2 months since those strange magical beasts stopped appearing, as of before, every month there would be at least 10 to 20 magical beasts attacking their village.
Seihi didn't know the reason behind their sudden disappearance, but he was grateful, he wished every month would be like this, and surprisingly his wish came true, as for the next 10 months there were no attacks in Sosshi Village.
One year has passed...
Tobias turned 1 year old today, and it's his first birthday. Drake, Sid and Blaze were all happy, but it was not only them, Reba, Seihi and many other villagers were just as excited as they are.
Reba was the most excited as she was the one, who usually took care of Tobias, she was like a mother-like figure to him, her husband also had no problem with that and surprisingly when Tobias was 11 months old, the first word that came of his mouth was "aunt."
Drake, Bkaze, and Sid were saddened to learn that the first word was not uncle or father, but aunt, but their sadness washed away when Tobias addressed them as uncle. His smile alone is enough to offset any negative emotions in them.
Drake and Blaze became adapted to their new way of life as well. They sometimes envy Sid since never he gets bored like them. For a lazy person like Sid, this lifestyle is heaven.
As the night fell, the village was lit up with the cheerful talk, and all the villagers stood in the centre of the village, celebrating Tobias's birthday, overall it was a wonderful feast and with the wishes of all the villagers, Tobias began his happy life with his family consists of 4 uncles, an aunt and his best friend William.
