Origins

Listen…..
Listen well dear children, of how Termina was at her worst of all times, when this dear kingdom that we live in was at the peak of an alliance with neighboring territories but still at war, one legend is born……
But this legend has no happy beginning ….. Nor ending.

***********
Within a guardian house, a mother gave birth to a handsome young boy, but was no normal boy. He had pure white hair & his eyes, they were silver. “He can’t possibly be good later on in life. He’ll be more disorder to this young kingdom.” A priest said to the new family. However, the father didn’t agree with the priest.” He’s not the next great threat to Termina! What he’ll be is the next great warrior!” the father yelled at the priest, who looked at the new mother holding her son while saying, “That boy is the child of the great evil spirit, he’ll show the true side of his soul.”

The enraged father kicked the priest out of the room. Once everything had settled down, the father came over to his wife & holds his son. “Manorton, what should we do? Our son’s gonna get ridiculed by other people…… I’m worried for his future.” She said.
“Don’t worry Ala; we’ll treat him like how we had our daughter, kind & true.” He said calmly to her, stroking his son’s white hair.
“What should we name him?” she asked.
“…………Dalphus.”
**************
The years pass by, & Dalphus had so many bad experiences within society, but no, not always, some kids his age became first friends, fooling around, causing more havoc like little kids do. Trenum & Poric were their names, & oh how they always tease Dalphus, but in a good way, so hence they give him the name of “Silver eye” Dalphus.
CRASH!!!!

“You little rascals! Come back with that!”

A man said while chasing the three boys but couldn’t catch up to them. When settled down, the boys spread the food, drinks & had a good time. “Man, one of these days Dalphus ya gonna think that ‘are you a gentlemen or a lunatic of society.’” Trenum said.
Dalphus laugh hard when he said that. “I don’t know, but all I know is that I’m gonna be one hell of a swordsman.”

“Cheers to that Poric said.

After the boys had their due of the day, Dalphus said that he wants to have a walk around the town & probably around the near by woods. The others joked at him not to get caught by any lunatic backers on the way, which Dalphus rolled his eyes at & gave a chuckle at them & went off.
***************
Dalphus was at the edge of the town & heading to the forest, he finally can see why this place is names the ‘Forbidden Forest’; it’s always boggled his mind from the start. But before he ever got his first foot into the place, a girl past him at top speed & after her a pack of black wolfoses.

“*sigh* Damsel in distress, great.” Dalphus sighed with a grunt, but started to run to catch up with them. He hated to catch up to wolfoses, they run freakin faster then him but he pulled out his slingshot & picked up a near by stone & shot one of the beast on the head. When that one beast stopped, all did & surrounded Dalphus. The girl turned to see this unknown stranger taking on a pack of monsters.

One by one, a wolfos felled into Dalphus’s hands, the others whimpered & ran off like cowards. The girl came around to see if he was injured but he wasn’t, just battered & bruised a bit. “Now why is a girl like you running around in a place like this eh?” he said.
“Hehe, & what ‘bout you? Mr. Cocky Hero.”
Dalphus shot a dirty look at her.

“For one, the name’s Dalphus & two…… I just came here for something….. That’s all.”
The girl eyeballed him & smiled like he was lying at something.
“Well, Dalphus, the name’s Salphilia, I came here to get away from some people…. But thanks fore saving me; no one yet has done that for me.” She said while laying a soft kiss on his cheek, which made him turn cherry red. Then she looked at his hair with sincerity, “Ya know, I heard about you now, your that one child that everyone’s rejecting you.”

“Ya, you got a problem?”

“No, to tell you the truth, I think that people are afraid to see the real you.”

“……….Huh?”

“Even though we met I can see that you’re just a kind hearted soul.”

“Really?”

“Yep, & with the white hair & silver eyes reminds me of the moon & stars of the night sky, all I’m saying is that……. I think you’re handsome.”

Dalphus chuckled at that, but deep down, he felt alive from what Salphilia said to him. The two stayed within the forest talking away till twilight covered her cloak on the sky.
