Chapter 8: The Fierce Lion

Theresia Cavias, Asvin's elder sister, didn't try to ask him about his family name, since it didn't seem like he wanted to give it. She, instead, said the following, "I heard you are chosen by the One Power! That's great to hear, but... well...".

With that, her expression darkened a little, and instead of her continuing, it was Asvin who spoke, he said, "Our father, doesn't like Magicians, not just that, he doesn't allow any of us to become one, so, it would be better if you gave up on that! If you want to be adopted by our family that is! The same holds true for you two as well!".

The two Manos little sisters looked at him, a bit confused, since after all, they were only 4 and 5 years old. As for Matthew, he understood what was said. He turned to the little sisters beside him, and said, "Don't become Magicians if you want to live here!".

Only now, did the little sisters understand, they were both still holding onto Matthew at the moment. Since, he was the only one they knew, and could rely on. He was also the person that had saved them, even the man in a red vest had said, that if it weren't for him, they would have died before he came here to help.

They nodded, and it was the oldest of the two, Terria, who spoke. She said, "Okay! I want to be a swordsm... Ah! I don't know what it's called, but I want to be like Mister Asvin here!". Asvin looked at her and smiled. He thought to himself, 'Am I that old to be called a Mister already?'.

As for the youngest of the two, Sonia, she said, "Amm! I guess it's okay, but, what about you, Matt? You're not going to leave us, right?". Her eyes were afraid to be told that he wouldn't be staying with her, and her sister.

Still, Matthew smiled as he patted Sonia's head, he then said, "I am sorry, but I will be leaving for a bit, don't worry, I will come visit from time to time! And you still have Terria with you, and... well, these people here seem quite nice, I am sure they will take good care of you!".

Theresia's expression darkened a little, the same was true for Asvin, as he looked at the young boy, that seemed like he had recovered from that devilish state he was in.

He then sighed, and said, "Are you sure, little boy, the orphanage here... well, it's not very good, you will be attacked by the other kids for food, and other stuff, can you defend yourself there?".

"And also, wouldn't be better to stay with a noble family? You would be safe here, and you would get to be trained by me, and my father! One of the 17 strongest in the kingdom! He's the leader of our family, as well as... have you heard of the name, Fierce Lion? It's my father!".

Matthew was a little shocked, he never expected that this young man, who had saved him and the Manos sisters yesterday, was the son of the famous Fierce Lion! After all, he was ranked as one of the strongest 17 in the kingdom, just like the King's Power, and the Green Mage.

And still, the difference between him, and the Green Mage, wasn't that big - Though, it is when compared to the King's Power - and so, John Cavias, was very well-known in the kingdom, the only reason Matthew didn't recognize him by his family name, was that he only knew his title, the Fierce Lion.

'Hmm! Wow! If dad was here, he would definitely make me take this chance, still, I want to be a Magician! After all, the Black Tower, the bastards that killed my family, are, Magicians! And, since I have great talent when it comes to it, this is no doubt the best way for me!', thought Matthew, as he looked at the floor that was decorated with small, yellow lions.

Matthew then looked at Asvin, as he said, "Thank you for the offer, but, I want to become a Mage, just like the Green Mage, and the Yellow Sun! Mages are the strongest in the end!".

At this moment, he heard a voice coming from the other side of the door, this voice was cold, and seemed to be devoid of any form of emotion, it spoke, as the door leading inside the room opened at the same time.

"Really? Magicians are the strongest? But not even the Green Mage, nor the Yellow Sun, can stand a chance against the King's Power! Can they, now? And, the King's Power, is well known as a sword user, isn't he? It's the same with me, I am only slightly weaker compared to the Green Mage, and the Yellow Sun!".

This voice belonged to a man, a man that looked to be in his early forties. he had a small yellow beard, and his hair had already started turning white, even though he was still young for such a thing to happen.

This man, wore a red attire, that belonged to the ruling class in any kingdom, the nobles. His suite seemed to be military inspired, and on his shoulder, a small symbol was drawn, it depicted, a yellow lion with blood on its hands.

This man, was of course, the Fierce Lion, John Cavias, one of the strongest 17 in the kingdom. He was also the leader of one of the strongest noble families inside the kingdom, the Cavias family.

As well, as the father of the two people present with the three children and maid at the moment. After he entered, he quickly scanned the place, and then his gaze finally fixed itself on Matthew's small body, as he shook his head a little.

'Hah! This child is truly blessed, all this power floating around him, he's destined to become a great Magician! I am sorry, young boy, but I can't accept you here, especially like this, I fear that I will...'.

'Yes, me, as old as I am, I fear that I might become jealous of this talent you possess! And, end up hurting you! I don't want to hurt one of my children, even if they were only adopted, so I am truly sorry!'. The man that had just entered the room sighed dejectedly, as he looked at Matthew in front of him.

Matthew's mind, shook, he was truly, and utterly, shocked. After all, this was his first time meeting one of the legendary figures he had heard many stories about from his mother, and father as well (sometimes).

'So, this is him, hah! The Fierce Lion! Wow! The air around him, wow! He's truly a lion! His eyes are scary, still, I can't let what he said go, I have to respond, and even though I don't want to use him, but still!', thought Matthew, as he looked at the stern, and scary man that had just entered.

He cleared his throat, then said, in a quiet tone, afraid that he might insult the Fierce Lion by mistake, "Ah! Well, about that, it's true, that the strongest person in our kingdom, Decatrium, is a swordsman, but, well, what can he do, against... well...", the words stuck inside Matthew's throat, as he became scared to finish his sentence.

The man in front of him smiled, then said, his voice still cold, and scary, "Continue child, I want to see who you think is stronger than the King's Power, and is also a Magician!". The man already knew many names that could fit that description, but he still wanted to know what this small, and daring child would choose.

And so, he waited for Matthew to speak. Matthew gathered all his courage, as he opened his mouth again, and said, "Ahm! How about, well, the, you know, ahm! The Dark Crow!".

As soon as he mentioned that name, the Fierce Lion's expression darkened, he hadn't expected that name to come up. Still, his expression returned normal after only a second, and he smiled and laughed, as he said.

"Good! Good on you, child! You utterly destroyed my claim, I had expected you to pick someone like the White Dragon, or something! A person that is immensely strong compared to our king's Power, but instead, you chose one of the strongest beings in the world! Hahaha!".

The man laughed, as he continued, "Very good, not only does the King's Power not stand a chance against the Dark Crow, but he can't even move a finger in his presence, only another legendary being like him can fight this terrifying disaster, such as, the Emperor of the Sea! Or, the Dragon Slayer! Yet, the Dark Crow is thought to be the strongest!".
