It’s morning, I think to myself as I wake up, or evening, or night, in all honesty, I have no idea which it is, but no time for that. It’s a new day for me, time to explore. So I put on the clothes I have claimed as my own, say good morning with a kiss to my darling and set out first; I check the kid’s door.The snow has yet to return to the child’s door, so I open it and see that it’s very much a kid’s room. On the bed in the room, I go up close and see the kid sleeping. After getting a good look at the kid, I concluded it couldn’t be any older than five or six years. Its hair is also white again. I should also check its gender; however, I don’t want to strip a kid. Hence, I decide to leave before the kid wakes up and gets an even worse opinion of me. Closing the door of the kid’s room, I go to look around.On the second floor, I found a lot of empty rooms with nothing in them, though they all looked well-kept. I found a study and what I believe is a walk-in closet with many female an

Year 2Two weeks laterWhile sleeping, I feel a soft fist hitting me constantly; I try to ignore it and go back to sleep, but then it starts hitting me more, and I hear, “Capti” repeatedly.Still, I don’t feel like getting up yet, so I will ignore it, but then I feel a hard impact on my head.Did that brat just headbutt me? “LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE,” I say as I jump from the bed.Then, in the corner of my eye, I see the boy trembling with tears in his eyes. Crap, it seems I scared him, but it’s his fault for messing with me in my sleep again.I guess he won’t learn anytime soon. Oh no, his hair is starting to turn yellow, so I should still apologise. Now, in my most soothing voice, I say, “Sorry.” he seems to cheer up after that, so I guess I should start my day.Ever since that day when he asked my name, the boy and I have been talking much more. Well, talking might be a stretch since he goes silent whenever I ask a question or looks bewildered, so it’s usually me just answering his q

Year 4“Now, let us begin operation new food,” I say fervently, as Orb claps excitedly beside me.Due to my priorities changing last year, I couldn’t try out the new combinations for the spices and seasonings, so here I am. But I discovered that Orb has a rather sharp tongue, so I asked him to taste each of the spices and seasonings to find out which of the sections I should put them in. This was not by any means a failproof method; We still passed out due to mistakes when splitting the spices up, but it worked out well. I showed Orb the proper amount of spice to put on the fruit. I also made it crystal clear that you shouldn’t mix too many spices; I need to try my best to avoid another poisoning situation. We found four more combinations that neutralise the aftertaste of the fruit, and we successfully found one that made the fruit taste better.“Yummy”, Orb said with delight.“This isn’t just average; It tastes good.”“Orb, we did it!” I say as we both begin jumping with joy. Out of e

Year 6“Capti, eat this. I made it just for you.”“Orb, I am ok. You have been feeding me like I am a fish lately.”“Well, you need to eat to stay healthy; since starvation is the only thing that can kill an immortal, so eat.”I have cared for Capti since he fainted on the floor three weeks ago. But he has been making it hard; he keeps fighting back against me, talking as if I am being more of a bother than helping.“Orb, you don’t need to be so annoying about this; I have already eaten.”“More food cannot hurt anyone, so come on, you old man.”“Hey, don’t treat me like I have some kind of disability; I was able to climb this mountain by myself. I am still as healthy as ever.”“You can barely walk now, and have just been sitting on the bed for the last two weeks, old man. Don’t lie to me.”“You underestimate my power, watch this,” Capti says as he jumps and does a backflip. Crap, my ankles hurt, but I still did it. “See Orb, look how healthy I am.”“Yes, very healthy now; get back on t

Interlude: Lion’s beginningsThe eternal spider is my country’s icon. It produces silk that is all but impervious to the elements. It can be hard enough to cut through steel while being light and flexible, so its silk is highly valued and brings great prosperity to the country.Everyone in the country is taught at a young age that it is the job of every citizen to protect those spiders, and those who rake in a multitude of achievements and are proven to be trustworthy are given spiders to keep as their own.The giant spiders constantly crawl around our country to make webs and lay eggs. The webs they spin around the country are said to be one of the five most beautiful sites in the world. Whenever I see them, joy fills my heart.“Lionheart, stop staring at the webs and come over here.”“Ok, brother”-Break-I love my older brother; he has taken care of me and has always stayed by my side since I was a child. He is the only one who has done that since our parents were taken away.I stil
