As the bandits rushed us Nathan threw the dagger striking one bandit in the chest. He slumped forward dead. The others stopped temporally before moving on us but slower. Nathan put up his fist. He kept me behind him. Then another bandit rushed Nathan and hit him the stomach knocking him to his knees.
"Tie him up" shouted the bandit we first saw I got a good look at him he had a crooked nose probably from it getting broke 5 too many times. His teeth yellow and sharp like the fangs of a wolf. His hair greasy and matted down. The other bandits seized in and tied him up.
Then it happened I began to yell then the ground beneath me began to seem farther and farther away as if it were sinking but truly I was floating then my eyes lost there pupils. My yells became louder and louder. Forcing the men to there knees covering there ears light came from my hands and wrapped around the men going inside of them from any open wounds or through there mouths,nose or ears. I saw there every thought everything they had ever done they had pillaged and killed there will all monsters. The bandit leader I saw into his mind the furthest he once had everything a nobleman with a beautiful wife and two strong smart kids until he mentally snapped he began drinking furiously and gambled there money he came home one day and killed his wife and kids. I broke that man first ripping him to shreds from the inside out.
Nathan had told me that the mans eyes lost there pupils similar to mine and there hair went bright white. Then they slumped forward dead. After each man had died I fell slowly until the ground touched my feet and I blacked out falling forward into Nathan's waiting arms according to him he had an additionally dagger in his sleeve he used to cut his bindings. I just think the men couldn't tie some didn't even have any education street urchins like me.
I still shudder thinking about it "Is this what would have happened if Nathan hadn't rescued me."
Nathan scooped me into his arms and carried me back to the castle the guards immediately took me to the Kings very own healer. Nathan told me I had been unconscious for 5 days. The healer also said Nathan came in everyday and waited holding my hand. When the healer told me this I felt my face turn bright red and blush creep up on me like a spell gone wrong. Then one day when I was laying in bed I had just woken up I heard someone walking in. I quickly closed my eyes it was Nathan his father right behind him. I could feel there eyes on me I did my best to not move or squirm so they would think I was asleep.
"Dad we can't send him off to the streets again." Pleaded Nathan.
"Well you saw the magic he used he's a danger." The King stated.
"Yes Dad then why didn't he hurt me he saved my life."
"He just doesn't know how to use it."
"That's why he needs us, we can show him how to use his magic properly."
"He will stay with you and you will train him but if he slips or even seems like a threat he's gone." The King said then walked out.
"I know you're awake Daniel" Nathan said.
