And the rest (6/6)
Victor is surprised he was noticed. However, he is a rude and brave little boy, so this does not stop him. "Your arm. Why is it like that?" he asks. "What happened to your arm?" Izek is quiet as he thinks on how best to explain the situation to his boss's child. He settles on an answer and tosses the twigs into the fireplace. "Nothing good. I just lost my one-" he changes his plan mid-sentence, "by not staying inside the village. Listen to your father." "Father says to listen to you," Victor says brattily. "Ok, I say to stay inside the village." Victor doesn't like this answer, but accepts it. It doesn't satiate his curiosity, however. He approaches his bodyguard. "Then, what made it so you could make fire?" Izek stands and replies, "I don't know, boy. Some kind of magic fire from outside must have got in?" The concept of the outside world is foreign to Victor. He holds the smoke from the fire in his hands, as if he is controlling it himself. He stares at the flame through the bars of the safety grate. "There's magic outside?" Victor stands in what he imagines the outside world must be like. He's heard there's sunlight, and rolling clouds instead of a constant overcast, and a world so big you could spend your whole life walking it and never run out of things to see. The Sun looks more like the symbol of the Morninglord than a real sun. Izek brings him back to reality and the unfortunate prospects for his future, saying "I guess. But if I were you..." "I'd be more worried about the fire," Izek finishes, though not present. A teen/young adult Victor now stands in his attic, one of his skeletal cats perched on his shoulders, looking out the window to the angry mob of townsfolk below bringing torches to burn his house down. Flames already lick the walls outside spelling death for the Baron's son. End.
