My Pride

" How are you feeling kid?" Amy asked when Dawn got up and sat on the bed.

" I am fine, I appreciate your help. May I know your names." Dawn said lowering his head to show that he was grateful.

' Is this child an orphan?' Amy questioned in her mind and the other two doubted as well because Dawn was showing manners that other orphan kids will not do. He got up and bowed before them.

" My name is Amy, and this is my husband Mike who saved you."

" I will repay this kindness if you have anything you want me to do. You can just ask me now and I will do it." Dawn said looking toward Mike.

" It's alright, I think you need rest. If you want we can look after you for some time." Amy suggested.

" No, I can't be any more of a burden. Right now I have no means to pay you back for your kindness but I will." Dawn again bowed in front of Amy.

" No sweat kid, you go live your life. We will wait for you as long as you want, let's go, Amy." Mike said with a loud voice as if being proud of something.

Mike started to walk away, Amy remained standing but she also started to move behind Mike. Just when they were about to leave the door.

" Kid, you are someone with big pride. Always remain like this, never let it be broken by anything."

Dawn left the doctor's clinic as well and was now walking towards the forest. He went deeper and deeper for some time until he reached a completely quiet place.

' Hey, are you alive?' Dawn sent a message to Kevin.

' What happened? Why did I feel so weak, you said consuming the soul of other beings would help but it made me weaker.'

' I told you that your soul is being sustained by me, well it uses my mana to keep you alive. I forgot to explain that you going all out with your power caused me to faint and almost die.'

' Couldn't you have just sent me a message like this to stop?' Kevin questioned.

' I couldn't tell, how much I have left. my mana sense and mana flow are not what they used to be.'

' Okay, I am coming back, if that's the case, I think we should stick together for some time.' Kevin proposed, he knew it was a big issue for Dawn to almost die because now his new life as an undead also depended on him.

' Now, how do I repay their kindness? I can't just leave before doing that, I don't know if I will ever get to meet them." Dawn spoke to himself as he sat down under a tree. ' If I remember correctly, that man spent too much on my medicine. I can just pay him back with a lot of money much more than what he spent.'

' Hehe, that's a good idea but I don't know how I get it. Having money would have solved a lot of problems. I quickly need to do something.' While Dawn was lost in his thoughts Kevin came flying.

' You didn't have any problem finding me, right?'

' Yeah, it always felt like that I knew where you were, I am surprised that I could do so many things, I could do much more if I did not have such a weak master.' Kevin teased but didn't expect a serious reaction from Dawn based on their interaction with each other till now. However, Dawn frowned and was not happy to hear it.

" Yes, being weak is also against my pride. I promise that I will become the strongest master you could ever hope for but I may need your help in that." Dawn was dead serious, he had enough of being a helpless kid.
