11 - It looks cool!

This will be the end of The First person Pov chapters and from now on it'll be strictly this person pov, tell me what you thought about it

***

Seeing me touching my left eye seemed to give my father the wrong impression as he thought that I was worried about it.

"We didn't dare to ask a water medic to heal your eye as we didn't know what was wrong with you, and diverting any extra energy that your body might need to your eye could have been bad." said Hakoda with an exhausted look on his face.

I could see his exhausted appearance and could also guess what the reason for it was.

Not to mention having to deal with all the affairs of the tribe on a daily basis but to put my injury into the mix and not knowing whether I am alright or not will affect any man.

Some might think it's a huge opportunity and boon to be the tribe leader, but it's actually the opposite of that, it's a huge responsibility and burden, one that very few will be willing to take on.

'Sigh, so this is what it's like to have a family huh?.' I thought as I felt a warm feeling welling up in my chest. This was the first time I felt someone worry and care about me so much after all.

"Now that you are awake I can call the medic to heal your eye, do you want to heal it now or wait till morning."  Said my father, breaking me from my train of thoughts.

Thinking about it for a while, I didn't know what to say, why wasn't it completely healed by now? 'System, why hasn't my eye healed yet?'

[Seeing that the host was unconscious and unable to give any commands the system had taken the initiative to suppress the gamer body surface healing abilities to avoid any suspicions, so even though it may appear that the user's eye is unhealed it's actually the opposite and is totally healthy]

[The user can lift the restriction at any time to allow his left eye to fully heal]

'Oh I see, so that's how it is, in that case.'

"No Dad, I don't want to heal it." I said and from the look on my father's face he was obviously shocked, well I would be too if I was in his position.

"WHAT? Why don't you want to heal your eyes?" He asked, startled.

He obviously couldn't help but think of why his son might want that, any kid his age would want to fix their eye if it was damaged, only very few adul…No, only very few warriors would like to keep their scars as signs of glory, as a monument and as a reminder.

'But I am only 5 years old. I couldn't possibly say that'.

I wanted to keep this scare as a reminder to myself to never get arrogant, that there was always someone stronger out there, I wanted a constant reminder of that by my side.

'Sigh, If I say that I'll scare the old man to that hehe.'

"I think it looks cool Dad."

Hearing his answer hakoda almost fainted, he did not expect this kind of answer, he even thought that his son might be playing a silly prank on him, sadly his son wasn't into those types of games.

He couldn't help but laugh helplessly at himself,' Of course, what else did I expect he's just a kid after all it's amazing enough that he protected his siblings.' he thought.

Thinking of this he was about to start asking what's been on his mind all along but Levi asked his questions before him

"How long have I been asleep for anyhow, it's already night so I guess for at least a few hours huh?."

Few hours!

Hakoda had a complicated expression as he looked at his son, "Son, you've been unconscious for five days." Said Hakoda after contemplating for a while shocking Levi.

'So long!.'

Seeing his son silent, Hakoda thought that it was time and asked what he wanted to ask ever since he learned of what had happened. In fact, this wasn't his question only it was also something the head of the guards Kato and a few others wanted to know.

"Son, what exactly happened out there with the polar bear?"

'Here it comes.'

Hearing his father's question Levi wasn't shocked in the least bit, he had already expected it and was waiting for it, and he had already prepared his answer.

"About that…, I can't clearly remember everything, almost all of it is blurry." Said Levi lowering his head as if seeming to remember a painful experience.

Seeing him like this Hakoda's heart ached and his expression turned softer, if only he had been present there with him, he felt like he had failed his son, but before he could say anything Levi continued.

"The only thing I know is that I definitely awakened my bending powers. I remember that clearly, the next thing I knew I woke up back here."

All of that was a lie of course, Levi remembered every second of that encounter as if it was engraved into his head, it was his first real battle and dangerous situation and he didn't think he could forget about it even if he wanted to.

'Sorry Dad but some things are better left unknown. I can't possibly tell you about blood bending?.'

Even though he completely trusted his father there were still a lot of dangers in this world and he couldn't risk it, not after what he just went through to survive. Some things are better left unsaid.

"Is that so, sigh." Said Hakoda sighing after hearing his son's answer, he and some others from the tribe had already figured that it must have been something like that, there was no other possible explanation to it,

'But what kind of water-bending power can do something like that.' He couldn't help but look at his son with a complicated expression as he remembered the bear's disfigured corpse.

"Can you still do it now?." Asked Hakoda with an expectant look on his face, now that the danger was averted he couldn't help but be excited, who wouldn't want for their kids to be benders!?

"I don't know Dad, but I can try it," said Levi with an innocent expression on his face.

Receiving his father's nod Levi Looked at the cup full of water on the table.

'Now how much ability should I show?.'
