Chapter 4: Gift to Dad
---
”Amazing. As expected of the Sun Warriors Clan.” Raven sighed as he read the note.
The Final Haven Kingdom has a rich history. There were many humans who were born and died in this place. The Royal Family had changed from era to era as well, and the during the Dark Sky Era, it was the Sun Warriors Clan that rose to fame and protected the kingdom from verge of destruction.
Their reign lasted for quite sometime, but as they say, whatever rises will ultimately fall. Try as they may, the Sun Warriors Clan declined but their legacy was still passed down. With Raven's guesses, the last descendant of the Sun Warriors Clan was that skeleton that held this suitcase. Alas, such is the cycle of life.
Nevertheless, their techniques will shine once more, and it will be his father that will do so.
”We're home!” Speaking of which. Raven woke up from his stupor and looked at the door. There he saw his parents carrying some groceries from the market.
”Mom! Dad! Look, I found a treasure!” Raven placed an excited expression while calling them out. His parents smiled and walked towards him. They didn't find it weird that he brought something home again, it wasn't the first time that he did so anyway.
”Oh? What's this?” Luis, his father, asked while ruffling his head.
”It says here that these are elixirs, I think a long lost one. Here's the letter written in Dark Sky Era's language.” He said while handing the letter down to his dad.
At first, Luis wasn't really impressed, he was just faking it for the sake of his son. But as he read the letter, his expression turned into excitement. His eyes shone as he eyed the elixirs.
”Where did you find this?” Luis asked.
”On the hill.” Raven blinked, ”I tripped onto something, when I looked closely it wasn't a rock but the handle. I dug it and brought it here.” A lie that he made up.
”What about these?” Luis pointed at the jade slips.
”I don't know.” Raven shrugged, ”I mean, It's obviously jade slips but I think they're more than that. Must be some kind of tool from the same era as well.” A white lie that he told this time around.
Luis picked up one random jade slip. He observed it closely and pondered. After a while. He decided to experiment and send his energy onto the jade slip. After some time, his eyes snapped open and his face wore an expression of shock with a mixture of elation as well.
He hurriedly picked up another one and did the same, after going through each jade slip, the whole inheritance of the Sun Warriors Clan are now printed on his mind. His heart was beating furiously due to extreme excitement.
”What's wrong with you?” Raven's mother suddenly appeared and asked Luis.
”Eva! Here, send your energy inside, you will know why.” Evangeline was confused but followed his instructions anyway. After a while, her eyes also went wide, she could now understand why her husband was making that expression.
”Haha! You really discovered a treasure this time around!” Luis said while ferociously rubbing the head of Raven.
”What does it contain?” Raven asked innocently while snickering inside his mind.
”It's a secret for now…” Luis said sternly.
”Boo…” Raven puffed his cheeks and pouted.
”Well, it's a powerful technique. But you can't use it unless you reach Soldier Realm. Until then, you can't tell anyone about this okay?” Luis consoled his son. He was fully aware that he shouldn't be lying to his own son, he was the one who found it after all. He lied because he wanted to protect his son from danger.
He too could approximately tell just how strong the techniques were. If somehow, the news were leaked, it would expose his beloved son into danger which was the last thing that he wanted for him. Of course, Raven understood this, he was just acting so that he could protect the secret about his rebirth as well.
Seeing that his son was still sulking, he sighed and said: ”Okay how about this. Tell me what do you want as a present, I'll buy it for you.”
Hearing this, Raven's eyes shone and turned his head towards him, he then asked: ”Really?”
