A Month Later.....
As I trained I began to think about what I knew.
'In the end this world was similar to my past lifes, strength still guarantees freedom. The ones with power only mattered in this life to, those without magic are simply canon fodder just like those who are weak magically.'
'Besides some obvious differences it's still the same fundamentally at least that's the conclusion I came to two years ago and I realized how right I was.'
'There was two things my family, my old crew valued most family and freedom; simply put nothing meant more than these two things. And I what I desired currently was freedom... I wanted to be free of arbitrary worries... I wanted to be free to sail the seas... I wanted to live however I wanted... I wanted to live my life to its fullest just like my dad.'
That was my desire a desire for freedom a desire to do what I want uninhibited, that is one of the few reasons why I desired strength.
'What I want no need is strength... the strength to carry on my dads legacy.... the strength to protect my freedom... the strength to live how I wanted.... What I needed was strength there was never such a thing as enough strength there might be someone stronger than you if you slack off and then they could take your freedom away, they could take everything away. This is why I must train harder why I should work harder.. And with money I could love a more comfortable life while having my freedom.'
I sat at the river looking at my reflection the same reflection I had back then in my past life. The water currents kept constantly shifting just with mere thoughts I was still manipulating water.
'What would dad think of everything I did, what would he think if he knew my thoughts or how I felt. Would he feel disappointed, saddened, or something else. In the end I know he would comfort me and try to set me back on the right path if I was walking astray; but I will never know because he was taken away from me.
His death will be the reason I will always hate treacherous people, I will show no mercy to them. People like them are why my dads dead, the ones who spit on your kindness and betray you regardless deserve no pity not even an after thought.'
'I was so happy when I found out I had my dads power and I still am; it means I can fully carry on his legacy making the world knos the name white beard is one of my goals as of right now.'
'And that leads me to what I'm about to do which us steal a boat and get the hell out of here. More and more mages seem to arrive every day there's a few hundred of them as of right now; and it seems some of the mages are headed my way right now.
Then I recognized the test giver leading the way towards me followed by twenty other mages.
"Ryujin are you ready to leave for you magic training, we are going to a special place for it."
"I don't recall my parents mentioning any magic training, we would have to ask them before we..."
"Ryujin go with them you need to train your magic further."
I looked behind me and saw the origin of these words my "mom" spoke these words.
I realized they were working together quickly as suspected but then the townsfolk all came this way. I looked all around me and I was slowly being surrounded.
"What is this really about?"
I question causing them all to have a look of suprise afterall any normal kid would blindly listen to what they say; but I'm anything but a normal kid.
"Hahaha of course you would be suspicious."
"What do you mean he would be suspicious number one?"
"Because he clearly was smarter than the rest, the way he speaks down to the fact he knows what to do to train himself. That just reeks of intelligence that no four year old should have meaning this was within my predictions."
"That makes so much sense now."
'Damn it if only I knew how to act like a professional maybe I could fool them; I need to figure out how I should go about this. Should I give up my freedom to maintain my life for now and hopefully regain it one day or fight to keep my freedom.'
'What should I do? No I know what I should do I need my freedom for now though I should play along.'
"So it was as obvious as you guys were about being some kind of shady group?"
I asked some of them seem visibly irritated by my remark, some with the expressions on their faces.
"No need for such hostilities all we want is you to come with us and help our lord."
"What do you mean by help and who is this Lord you speak of I questioned."
"Enough questions child! Number one does not answer to unfaithful ones."
"It is fine the child may be working with us, the help we need is with gaining man power to construct a tower of sorts, and we need help in resurrecting our lord."
'Wait did he say resurrection, could I bring my dad back.'
Noticing my reaction to such releavtions the one who tested me decided to further indulge my curiosity.
"Yes if you help us we could resurrect someone who may have perished that you know, a pet, someone and all you would have to do is help us resurrect Zeref and we can help you resurrect whomever."
'If I could resurrect my dad maybe we could be a family again we would be separated from the others but maybe with the use of magic we can be together again. I must try but.. I don't think I should trust them maybe I'll go along with them for now and aide them on their endeavors.'
'Would dad want to come back, I think maybe he would want to. He must have some regrets right? like leaving me behind.. I don't know.'
