"Oh, you know because I sent you there knowing that you have not gotten your powers but I just don''t want you to stay here inside these walls. There is a huge world out there and I don''t want you to miss that." Father spoke truthfully. I smiled at him and laid my head on his shoulder as his arm slung on my shoulder.

    "I did start to blame you at some point for sending me there but now, I think things are starting to make a turn for the better." I said with a smile.

    "Why do you say that?"

    "You''ll know tomorrow."

    I spoke. He looked at me with slight confusion but he the nodded and said okay.

    "How was your first day there? Made friends other than Nate?" Then I got to thinking if I should tell him what happen.. Remembering that it''s only the two of us now, well three including Nate, I might as well tell him the truth. Because father first and foremost does not like and despises liars.

    "You can tell me Fin." I sighed and raised my head as I faced him directly.

    "Well now, I have made friends but being there the first day was not your typical first day of school. Very far from what you and mother told me when I go to the academia." Father looked trouble but I assured him with a smile.

    "I got bullied by Prince Hade and Kaval on the first day because they immediately knew my situation regarding me being powerless."

    "But how?"

    "The water was bland Prince Hade noticed and then informed the others. The only one that I became friends with the first day or did not have an issue with was Dianne." Actually, remembering it now, I did not thought that me and Kaval would be friends as he was just off the vibe check for me when we first met but then turned out that he was nice and I really did not know as to why he acted like a tptal asshole in the first place.

    "Don''t worry though, Kaval and I are in good terms now. As of Prince Hade, I do not know as to why he despises me. Although there are times when we do talk without wanting to cut each others throat open and when I feel like we''re starting to talk like civil people, he somehow finds a way to destroy the mood. I remember the first time that I literally had to leave the dinning hall in the academia and the worse case was that, it was my first day and it may seem that I have already made trouble and everyone else was there to witness it." I spoke.

    "Well then, I will make sure that I give that Hade a scolding when we meet."

    "Father, no. I don''t think he''s as bad at the first time I met him, well that if I forget about the fact that he wants to murder, well not murder but break my bones tomorrow in the clash." Father''s eyes then went dark and I sense his anger in the air so I held his hand again and said;

    "Father, do I look like the type of kid that gets punch in school? With or without power, I shall remain as the supreme heir among the batch." I said with a smug smile. Father''s mood then changed thankfully as he ruffled my hair.

    "Will you be there tomorrow? I have a surprise."

    "I won''t miss it for the world. If that Hade boy comes for you, I will put their fire off."

    "Father you can''t and even if you could, I won''t allow you. This is what I have to go through to learn things, you sent me to the academia, surely you know that it is not always sunshine there right?" I spoke. Father looked away and his gaze went to the ceiling which was painted with some murals. I could see his eyes glimmering and I know that he remembers his younger days when he was still at the academia. It must have been fun for him.

    "I fully know that as I too experienced some storms during my time there." He spoke and that somehow got my attention, father never really spoke about his time there and neither did mom. So I decided to ask. It''s not like it could offend him right?

    "How was your time there father?"

    "Hmm?"

    "Oh you know, during you years in the academia." He looked at me and his eyes show that he was contemplating on whether he would tell me or not but the thing is, why wouldn''t he tell me though. I''m his son and if there''s some deep stuff in there, I surely won''t judge him as it is all in the past now. He then sighed and smiled.

    "Well, my year there was somehow special. When your grandfather sent me there, I was quite nervous because I don''t know if I am going to make friends but unlike you, I got sent there a lot earlier, maybe when I was sixteen. When I got there, father made sure to remind me not to misbehave as we all know that I am very um, well I am a trouble magnet if you could say it like that." He laughed.

    "And I did fulfill my promise with him to not make any trouble. For the first month only though. I tried so hard not to make any trouble and I was doing so well at that time. I made friends which made me glad as father did not send my aide in the academia along with me but instead, he sent him to go with the old group of the protectors of the sea and join their expedition and it was quite saddening at my part to see my aide going separate paths with me but I know that I had to go and fulfill my own destiny and so I tried."

    "Everything was going so well. I met new people and most of them were very nice to me but there was this one person who was, well how do I say this. This person was cold towards me and I did not know why. Everyone would always say not to go around messing with that person as the person was trouble incarnate. But I was hardheaded let''s get that out of the way so I tried to get close with that person but time and time again, this person would just push me away and said that they would kill me if I don''t ever stop trying to lurk around they''re presence. But I kept on pushing and pushing until the person snapped and then went on towards me slamming my head to the brick wall. I was so shocked at the moment to even response or to feel any pain at all."

    "Wait father, who is this person you are talking about?" I asked.

    "Morningstar." My eyes widened as the mere mention of the last name already gave me the whole person.

    "W-wait, so you''re telling me that you wanted to be friends with that person? The one who''s been at us since he sat as king? Father what was going on in your head at that time?" I asked perplexed. It has been well known that when my father rose to the throne and King Morningstar did too, King Morningstar was not very much of a fan of my father, King Archemidius and somehow came into bad terms with father. I never knew the reason and everyone had the same thing too of not knowing as to how and where this hate rooted from.

    "Fin, he has his reasons you know. There are more to this story that I have to disclose. But you have to understand that for everything that is happening, there is a reason behind it. The least I can tell you is that yes, despite our rough start, me and Morningstar became friends and it is important that you do not speak of this to anyone else. Not even to Nate. Your mother did not even know about this. I have vowed to a promise and it would be the one that I would not break after some of the other few has been shattered." I was looking at father the entire time and I could see the sadness in his eyes and I still can''t seem to understand. Maybe he''s sad from the broken friendship? I can see how sad he is talking about the topic now and I do not wish to intrude further as he has asked me to not do so and I must respect that but there will be a time when I will ask him about it because the sadness in his eyes were nothing like normal. What must have happened may have hurt not only him but also to King Morningstar. Maybe their friendship was torn so harshly that up until now, the wound still hasn''t healed.
