Alexander keeps walking. Shortly he came upon the underhang on the mountain.  He noticed fresh ashes from a fire. Someone had been here.  He turned to walk off and was met with a knife pointed at his throat. 

A small child around the age of ten was wielding a rather impressive knife.

Child:  Go on back into the cave.

Alexander did a child said. He wasn't threatening in the slightest with his untrained hair and rages that were a poor excuse for clothing. Alexander noted that the dagger the child was wielding was ice.

Child: Alright now give me everything you got.

Alexander: I have nothing but the clothes on my back and a few books. Do you really have any use for those?

The boy looked puzzled giving Alexander a chance to disarm the child. The boy grew determined. I guess I will take your stuff. The boy seemed to be playing or training rather than trying to take Alexander's stuff.

Alexander started walking away having the boy follow him trying to attack him at every stop.

Alexander: Kid why are you following me?

Child:  I am not.

This continued until the sky started to darken.

Alexander: Is there something you need?

Child: No!

He stopped his attack and just observed Alexander.

Child: Hey, you want to be my teacher?

Alexander: What?

Child: Ya my teacher. Your strong and I want to be strong like you. I promise I'm full of potential. 

Alexander: No way.

The kid ran in front on Alexander. 

Child: To bad. I've chosen you and there is no changing my mind. Teach me how to fight like you

Alexander herds something in the shrub behind him and stopped to listen.

Alexander: Get down.

The child looked at him confused. A large fireball came out of the trees from the left while a blast of water came from the right. Alexander pushed the child out of the target area and deflected both blasts upwards creating a thick steam.

Alexander: They finally found me. Kid stay down or you will get hurt.

Alexander despite not knowing this wide eyes boy knew he was no harm. The child came off as strong. A bit nieve but strong.  This child had nothing to do with his situation and he couldn't let him die here.

The child looked on in wonder and aw as two men and women stepped out of the trees.
