3P POV

The last couple of days since Arthur's return were pure bliss for him. The mere fact that he finaly can spend as much time with his family as he wants after years of not seeing them at all fills him with an unfathomable amount of happiness. Especially meeting his baby sister for the very first time made him feel a warmth within him he never knew. But how couldn't he, seeing just how cute she is.

He vowed to spend as time with them as he can before he leaves to become an adventurer. Fortunately for him his mother had allowed him to go. Sure she was against it when it was first brought up. Crying alot and yelling how dangerous it is especially for children. It broke Arthur's heart seeing her like that, but he knew how important it will be for him. Not only for his growth as a mage, but for his understanding of this world aswell.

Not wishing to worry her any more he accepted the conditions she gave him for her to give her approval. Those being he needs to wait until after his his birthday, he needs to visit atleast once a month and he needs a guardian she trusts to keep him safe. The first two were easy to comply too and for the last did his father suggest to ask the Twin Horns if one of them would volunteer to accompany him. Luckily they would be visiting them in a week, which made it easier to ask them.

Currently Arthur still layed in his bed. The sun just begann to rise and its beams tinted his room in redish light.

To his side was his bond, Sylvie. The young dragon snored softly appearing to be in a deep slumber untill her eyes opened slowly and she greeted him with a week 'kyu'.

'Good morning Sylv.' He transmitted over their bond.

'Mornin Papa.' She answered still sleepy.

'Come on we need to wash up.' He told her while getting out of bed.

As he entered the bathroom a feeling of panic and fear overcame him. It appears Sylvie has awoken fully and understood the torture that lays before her.

'No papa. I don't need a bath.' She protested vehemently without avail, for Arthur knew she does need one.

'Yes you do. You stink.' Was the only words he said before tossing her into the bathtub.

It may have taken some time, but at the end the both of them left the bath clean. He put on a new set of fresh clothes when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

He went over and opend the door only to be met by his little sister. She glanzed at him shyly and with a bit of nervousness. He kneeled down and smiled at her warmly.

"Good morning Elly, what can I help you with?" He asked her.

"Good morning bwotha. Mom asked me to wake you up." She answered in her cute childish voice.

"Oh how nice of you to come to wake me up. Do you want to go to mom together?" He asked her while holding his arms out to pick her up.

"Yes" she said as she jumped into his armes. Sylvie jumped on his head and they made their way to the diningroom.

As they walked down the halls a few maid saw them and giggled at how cute they looked together.

Their parents were already present, he saw as they entered the diningroom.

"Morning mom, dad." Arthur greeted with a bright smile

"Morning Art." Renolds replied as he took his seat..

"Morning sweety. Did you sleep well." Alice asked holding a similar smile as his.

"Yes I sleeped really good actually." He answered as he took his place at the table.

          

They talked about whatever until the Helstea's joined them. The maids were quick to bring out the breakfast, which consisted of bread, a few eggs and some beef. Other then the rest on the table did Arthur had to fight to get atleast a bit of his beef dispite Sylvie having her own plate full of beef.

"Vincent do you need me at the auction house today?" His father asked.

"Not today. Actually Otis Wykes asked if he could come visit us today. He said he wants to meet your son."

"He wants to meet me? What could a noble want from me?" Arthur asked in confusion

"Arthur, Otis is actually a friend of us. Shortly after your father started to work for Vincent Otis and his son visit the auction house. He saw the sadness in your father and asked him what was wrong and Renolds told him. He immediately offered to send someone to look for your body. After that we became friends. We even met his wife and his other two children." Mom said." Lucas and Nova probably told him about you after they met us in the City." She added.

"Than it would be an honor to meet them." He retorted.

"When will he be here and is he comming alone?" Dad asked.

"He will be here at noon and he said he would come with his wife and his children."

The Wykes family, as far as Arthur knew, is the most powerful and most influential noble family in all of Sapin. Only second to the royal family. He would lie if he sad he wasn't surprised that such a family is friends with his, but knowing his father and how he is, it dosen't seem impossible.

And the head of such a pristine family is intrested in meeting a commoner like him?! But that also means he gets a chance to meet that boy Lucas again.

When they first met earlier this week he could feel an overwhelming presence comming from Lucas. It remembered him somewhat of Sylvia, but his seemed to be far greater. Her aura felt somewhat god-like something he can't really grasp, but also reachable at the same time. His on the other side seemed unreachable, as if he stood before a true god.

His behaviour also caught his intrest, as he spoke and acted way to mature for even the son of a noble family.

Arthur wondered if Lucas might be like him. A reincarnation. But that couldn't be possible, right? Then might he really be a god? But that brings the question what a god could want for them to be amongst mortals. He will have to ask Lucas himself to get those questions answered.

But that would have to wait. They do not know each other as of now, so he first has to get close with Lucas if he ever wants them to be answered. He can imagin how creeped out Lucas would be if he gets asked those question by someone he dosen't know. Especially when he isn't what Arthur things he might be.

When he got back to reality he realized that breakfast is comming to an end. Afterwards he helped his sister and Lilia with their training before he trained abit for himself.

"Renolds, Alice its good to see you again." A tall man about the same age as his father said cheerfuly.

"Good to see you aswell Otis" Renolds retorted as they shook hands.

"Luana how have you been?" Alice asked the elven women.

A real beauty if you asked him. She resembles someone he had met during his time in Zestier, but he can't remember exactly who.

"I've been well. My and my husband work increased abit but it is bearable. How have you been?" She answered.

"I've been well thanks for asking." Alice told her with a smile.

Suddenly Renolds pulled Arthur into a sidehug.

"Please let me introduce my son to you. Arthur Leywin." He said.

"It is a pleasure to meet you all." He greeted with a bow.

"Oh boy you don't need to bow to us. Let me introduce my family to you. I am Otis Wykes and this is my wife Luana. My oldes son Bairon, my daughter Nova and my youngest son Lucas." Otis said as he gestured to his family.

"Hello Arthur it is nice to meet you. It really was a shock to us when Lucas tould us that you are alive after all those years." His wife said with a lovly smile.

"It is nice to meet you aswell. I can imagined. Sadly it took my longer to return than I had wished. I somehow endet up in Zestier and need medical treatment from an elder there. It took me some time to recover." He explained.

"You spent all this years in Zestier?" She asked with a shocked but also saddened expression on her face. "Maybe we can talk abit later and you can tell me about your stay there."

"Ofcourse we can." He said with a smile.

"Hello I'm Bairon. I can see that you already awakend and you are at the light red stage, Impressive." A young man in his early twenties said.

"Thanks it was alot of work to reach my current level."

"I am Nove we already met. It is nice to see you again." The young women next to Bairon said.

"It is nice to see you again aswell."

"We already met aswell. I am Lucas." He said.

"Now how about we eat together?" Vincent asked.

"Before that may I asked you for a favor Arthur?" Lucas asked.

"If it is to my abilitys."

"Would you fight me?"
