Chapter 2 - The treasure of Hades

The world is shrouded in darkness and mysterious forces.Pirates,dragons,phoenix,mages,warriors, yada yada you name it. Everything can be found in this world or so I have heard the villagers talking.

So yeah I am Asher with no last name apparently,was never given one.I am an orphan. The orphanage i was in told me that someone dropped me in front of their front door in pouring rain.Talk about no respect.Now i have been kicked out the orphanage since now i am old enough to survive on my own and obviously no one asks about what is my opinion on that.

So apparently now i am a beggar with no skills , no education and no one to care about me.It has been about a week and i am wandering aimlessly on the cold streets of our small village named Willentia.A pretty fancy name for village our size not that i am complaining. As i moved around the market looking at the sellers selling fruits and other foods my stomach grumbled. I hadn't eaten for like two days and the food i ate two days ago from the trash didnt help much.Then i saw the poster Mashed potatoes more worth it than the treasure of hades. Yeah right great advertising but does this guy even know what the treasure of hades was..the treasure of hades , a myth, a legend . All the stories in this continent doesn't go without mentioning it.every kid ever born knows about it.Even an orphan like me.

Since i was young i have always dreamed out finding it.Maybe perhaps than i would get the respect i deserve.After getting that treasure perhaps than I will know that my life was worth it.Then the loud grumble from my stomach shattered my daydreams.Now it was a do or die situation. I went to the exact same mashed potato stall with that Unique poster.I sneaked in....on the counter their were multiple mashed potatoes. I did plan to steal one and then apologise to whatever God was up their.I then went near tiptoeing and slowly got my hands on a scorching piece of potato...my hands should have burned but somehow it didnt hurt much...as i was about to sneak away...i felt myself floating up...ohhhh shit...I was screwed i thought to myself as i nervously looked back seeing the biggest frown on the face of the old man apparently the shopkeeper.I never knew that he was capable of using magic.

"Shit....ummm...I am really sorry Sir...i did it because i was really hungry.Please let me go...i can wash your dishes for a day if you like" i said desperately with the most innocent smile i could muster up but he didn't look like he would budge.

Then as i thought that i was about to die..someone spoke from behind..."Leave that guy . I will pay for him"...i was surprised as i saw a kid my age with long white hair neatly tied up in a ponytail just simply buy me my lunch...who is this guy...i thought and just right after that I crashed on the ground as the shopkeeper undid his magic..i winced and sat up to see that guy ignore me and go right into that shop without a care in the world.The shopkeeper handed me the potato with disdain and told me to scram..but i am not the best at following rules.
