I awoke early the next but I didn't really need to got to school as it was a Saturday, I usually just do cleaning around the house as I don't have time in the week days to do it.I got up and took a shower, after my shower I got dress, I went down stairs to make myself some breakfast after eating I left the house.
I had decided that I should really visit my parents graves, if I don't it would make me out as I son who never cared about his parents. I made my way up town brought myself some flowers then made my way to the graveyard. It took me awhile to find the graves I was looking for but when I did find the graves I placed the flowers on the graves.
"Sorry it took me so long to visit" I muttered
There were two graves side by side, the first one was for my mother the other was for my father. I had heard the the former town mayor had arranged that they be side by side cause that's what my mother would of wanted and of course I was very grateful to him for doing that.
"Ironic isn't it." I muttered
My mother lost her parents due to war while I lost mine, one from attack and another for a crime he committed. It really is ironic. I use to look up to my father before he was charged for the crime he committed.
"Why did you do it ,dad?" I asked expecting no one to answer.
My Father, Kenny Astral comes from a long family line of knights, for generations the Astral family have been serving this country either as a guard or a knight. My father was a knight, a well known knight that his enemies called him: The Crimson Eagle of Trinity.
My father was rather popular with the woman. He was taller than the average man and had a muscular built, he had pale white skin with good complexion, he had long dark crimson hair that fell to his waist and sapphire blue eyes.
He had met my mother just after graduating from another high school, he fell for my mom instantly. He met her several times before asking her to marry him when she did, they would go on to have two children the oldest was their daughter and the youngest was me.
My parents had a happy life together and all four of us lived with no trouble, there was no money issues or anything since my father worked as a knight and they earned a lot. That changed when my mother died in fact everything changed that day for us anyway. Our lives only went downhill from there, my sister had to look after me when our father went to work. She was only ten at the time and of course dad was worried but he had no one to rely on, his parents had already died and he had no siblings of his own. He barely had time to look after us with how much work was piled onto my dad but when he did he was doing the best he could.
When I was twelve my life took another dramatic turning point when my dad was arrested for rape, he was accused of raping a noble woman. Both me and my sister couldn't believe our ears on what our father was being charged for, our father kept denying the accusations. That crushed everything I held dear,the man I looked up to more than anything was charged for rape, he had become nothing but a monster.I didn't want to believe that my own father committed a serious crime as rape nor did my sister but when the government found him guilty I had to accept it, we saw him get executed, that was the day when I lost my father all I had left was my sister.
"We lost so much" I muttered
My sister, Raimu Astral was the oldest daughter to my parents and of course my older sister. She was the only sibling I had I respected her as she was my older sister, we didn't fight like most siblings but we did argue, she was the only family I had remaining.
She like myself looked up to our father greatly, she had intended to become a knight just like him, she was utterly shocked when he was charged for the crime he committed. She prayed for a miracle that he wouldn't be found guilty but unfortunately he was, she just refused to accept that our father committed the crime. We barely spoke after our father's execution, it's not cause we hated each other it's more that we couldn't get along anymore. Just two years ago, she just vanished without a trace, there wasn't any letter or anything she just disappeared. I don't know if she's alive or dead but all I can do is hope that's she okay where ever she is.
"I will come and visit again " I muttered
I left the graveyard and headed straight home, once I had returned home began clearing the house. A hour or so had passed since I began clearing and I had finally finished clearing, that's what I get for not clearing till the weekend. I sat on the sofa just thinking about how stressful this week alone has been.
I had my awakening Ceremony on Wednesday I was actually excited for it, I just wasn't prepared for the long hours I had to wait to finally be called. The awakening procedure was pretty straight forward except for the pain, I learned a lot about the way the systems are actually categorised which I didn't know before and the star levels. I left the awakening tower thinking of finding a inn for the night, that's when I happened to witness the woman and the two children being attack, at that time I didn't even know it was the princess and her brothers that were being attacked. I had stuck my neck out to try and save them, just cause my father's words still stuck to me even now that he's no longer with us. All I managed to do was piss one of the men off enough that he began shouting really loudly. That was enough to draw one one of the royal guards to our location and thanks to him the princess and her brothers were able to return home safely.
As for me, well I didn't really have a good night in fact it was the worst experience I have ever had. The moment I entered my house that night having just returned from a hour or so walk from the capital city my side effect went off. My body was in agonising pain that was actually worst than having my system awoken for a entire hour. I must of overlooked something when I was checking my system details cause there is no way I should of been in that much pain. Just as I guessed it I did overlooked something, my system had a timer attached to it , for me to gain a single point.
"I don't want to experience that again." I muttered
I got of the sofa and began making dinner, it does feel lonely when your only cooking for yourself and no one else.after eating I went upstairs and began getting ready for bed, I had nothing else to do I had no more puts to read as I've read them all already. I know I have just over a week to go before I need to seriously think of gaining a point or else I'm going to experience that agonising pain again which I don't, I had better come up with a way to earn a point or two soon.
