I travel for a few years now... Today is a day pretty much like any other ever since I've left the shadow of my father to travel... I'm still searching for a legend that I can write, something that will top all of his stories, something that will make him proud of me. He taught me all he knew and I've learned a lot myself but unless I'll finish my goal I can't rest peacefully! There must be an adventure worth becoming a legend! I just have to find it...

Road near Emelka

I've been on a road for such a long time... I belive that it's around three years now. I corrected my bag to let my cape fly along with the wind while I took a deep breath. Years of training to becoming a bard. So many adventures along with my father and hundreds if diffrent places we've visited together. Inns, festivals and royalty's courts...

I never really believed my father when he told me that he knows kings and queens until we stood before them as they greeted him warmly before moving onto the topics of informations and news he brought from the other end of the world. I on the other end was entertaining guests before my father would finish his talk to do the duo with me and then tell a story or recite a poem that moved all gathered's hearts while I stood on the side amazed at his skills.

But no more! Now I'm the one to go even further than him! To show him how that he can be truly proud of his son and that the Weiss family is still the unbeatable poet family we always were! I walked for a bit longer before a pair of beautiful ladies stopped next to me catching my attention. They looked down at me from their mounts.

Serious Lady : I'm sorry, is this the road to-

Younger Lady : Look, Eva, it's a bard!

Eva : Amalia we have no time for that!

Amalia : Just one poem and we can go!

Eva : Uh! We'll ask someone else!

(Y/N) : Hey, wait up!

However, after that command the two ride away as I wondered what's that all about. I continue walking until I saw them stop a bit away and talking with some Enutrof who just picked up a kama from the ground. They must have asked him the same and when he answered the two went on their way, leaving him as he just yells after them... Just like me.

(Y/N) : Well, not much from them, huh?

Enutrof : Damn tourists!

(Y/N) : Right?

Enutrof : Wait a minute! By Enutrof! If it's not Tom's kid!

I was suddenly lifted off the ground as the Enutrof hugged me and I only have time to let out a yelp of surprise. He set me down and I looked at him before a large smile made it's way onto my face causing me to grab the man and hug him too.

(Y/N) : Uncle Ruel! What are you doing here!?

Ruel : Oh, I've planned to visit my old friend in Emelka but I've never expected to meet you here, kid! You've grown quite a bit! How's old Tom holding up?!

(Y/N) : Last time I saw dad three years ago but when I stay somewhere for longer we exchange letters. He says that he's alright travelling around with a group of young people.

Ruel : Even if I'm sure your father can take care of himself!

(Y/N) : The worst will be the moment of creating a poem and when he's out of rhymes.

We both laughed as uncle invited me for a dinner at his friend's inn. Knowing him, he doesn't even pay for the food and his tab is as big as overfed Bow Wow. He's not really my uncle but he's a close friend of my father so he told me to just call him uncle. He's an Enutrof Bounty Hunter. I even have a few poems of him from a bit... diffrent times. We began to walk towards the village as he was telling me more about his friend and how we're gonna eat some good food.

Emelka

Kids and their parents along with other villages waved to the two that just entered their village, or rather one of them. A male with colorful cape and radiant smile. His (E/C) eyes looked over children and one of the girls was looking up at him with such an awe that she probably didn't even notice that her mouth was open wide. He chuckled as with a simple move of his arm three colorful balls went flying as he started to juggle them was a smile. He then let all three of them fall back in the sleeve as with the other end a handful of sweets flied out and into the hat of one of the kids making them laugh and enjoy their treat.

Ruel : Show off, just like your father.

(Y/N) : I'm a bard, uncle! I have to spread my fame!

Ruel : Remember about me when you'll visit a king or something one day.

They laughed as young man reached inside his bag and pulled his handcrafted flute. It was made by his father once with a black and white wood that he also beautiful decorated with carvings of tricks they used to do. He put the flute to his lips and played a soft music as they walked throught the village and soon enough reached the inn.

Everyone's mood brighten up as a bard with colorful cape walked inside catching everyone's attention. Soon he put the flute back in the bag as he did a deep bow to the kids who escorted him all the way here as they laughed as said their goodbyes before a certain innkeeper rushed to them and brought Ruel in a hug. You turn to them and sat by Ruel as they talked.

Alibert's Inn

Ruel : Alibert meet the kid of my other old friend, (Y/N)!

Alibert : So, you're the bard those kids were screaming about.

(Y/N) : Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Alibert! I am (Y/N) Weiss!

Alibert : Yugo!! Add two plates of stew for this poor Enutrof and our new Eniripsa bard friend!

I tuned the two out as they talked while wondering who Yugo is. Also, the great thing about being a bard is that most innkeepers will gladly let you stay, drink and eat for performances. He doesn't care about losing a bed for a few nights and some food while everyone in town come to your establishment to listen to bard. More often than not those people also buy a lot of food or drinks especially if a bard is able to lighten up the mood and make a party of sort.

Soon a kid with a huge smile appeared. He had three stews, two on hands while the third was on his cap-covered head. Alibert isn't very similiar to the kid but... who knows. Maybe more similiar to mother? At the second he yelled 'Everyobdy clear' and threw one of the stews straight under the customer's nose doing the same t othe second while third was heading straight for Ruel's face but with a move of my cape I was already holding the dish stopping it right under Ruel's nose making him take a deep whiff of delicious scent.

Ruel : Thanks for saving my face, (Y/N)!

(Y/N) : No problem, Gramps!

Ruel : Don't call me that!

Yugo : Hahaha! Two out of three ain't bad, eh?

(Y/N) : Kid, you're quite good! I'd love to take you as my assistant and pupil!

Yugo : Hahah, really!?

(Y/N) : Of course! I ain't telling that to every person I meet but I have a feeling that we could do great things together! Besides traveling alone is... well, lonely.

Yugo : Maybe if dad would agree!

As we were enjoying our meal and I was telling Yugo all about possibilities after becoming a bard his eyes widen and were sparkling while Ruel's eyes were shining when I mentioned all the kamas you can get out of royal parties. Suddenly everything started to shake as door to establishment were broken down and a strange creature walked inside causing everyone to cower in fear.

It walked off to a few awards on the shelf and picked it u pwith looknig at it in amazement.

Creature : That nice! That... Shiny!

Eye? : Drop that, you big dumb thing, we've got better things to do! Carnage... It's carnage time!

Suddenly white cloth was thrown over it's head and I glanced to the side seeing that Yugo is gone and now standing in front of the monster. Yugo looked at the creature unshaken and put his hands on his hips.

Yugo : Hey you! Do you see this big mess you've made? If you think I'm gonna clean after you, you're dreaming!

The creature surely got agitated but not in the way Yugo expected as he rose his fist ready to strike him down!

Eye? : Yes, that's it. Go on! Let your hate do the talking!

I expected my young pupil to be squashed by the monster and yet there was only hole in the floor while Yugo was on top of the monster. He dodged a few strike but soon moster swatted him away. Uncle rushed in to fight but he didn't go for long as he was caught and when Alibert tried to save him it threw Ruel at him. As it was going to finish them off I stood up and put my cape to the side.

(Y/N) : Hey, Stone-face! There's a reason why bandits never attacks bards!

I moved my hand and a firework exploded in it's face making it roar in pain and anger before I flipped over it's random strike and kicked the back of it's head while I threw another firework in it's face causing it to be more agitated but completely concentrated on me. Knives won't do much against him... The moment a strange circle appeared above it's head and Yugo dropped out of it before pulling the eye away, as it turned into a short sword.

The monster fell over and started to get smaller and smaller as the person who was possessed by Shushu. It turned out to be a Iop girl who looked dizzy. Her long orange hair were going upward before falling down as she stood up.

Yugo : Hey, looks like she shrunk down in the wash!

Iop : I've absolutely got to tell you, uh...

(Y/N) : And just like that she went to sleeping princess state...

I commented seeing that she fell asleep while standing like that. I put my cape back on as I picked her up and lied her down on the couch on the other side of the room. I looked down at her and wondered what was so important when suddenly shrieks of terror rung out outside and we all gathered to look outside just to see those little black creatures turning everyone into plants...
