7 A Polite Bandi (1/2)
Ozul had just gone back to sleep when suddenly he felt some air fluctuations. It was for the first time he felt some winds before they died down, following which he could hear some movement just outside his place!
Ozul had already guessed that the magical seal even blocked sound from reaching him! So him hearing sound from outside confused him a little.
Just as he was thinking, The door suddenly burst open!
Ozul was annoyed by the loud sound, but the thought of seeing something new after all this while forced him to calm his nerves.
Just as he soothes himself down, The opening from the big door let in the bright rays of light!
This sudden light very much irritated him!
Again, he was a six years old child who, from birth, hated the light! Not only that, but they locked him in a completely dark area for all six years of his life! So, even if the sunlight did not directly fell on his eyes, it bothered him to no end!
Ozul instinctually closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes, but no one entered through.
”Who-o?” Ozul had no choice but to speak out loud. His voice was cracking a bit at the end.
Outside the warehouse, Razor and the other bandits were stunned! They never thought that someone sealed a living person inside of here! Not to mention that the old setting of this place told them that it could be at least a couple of years when someone last came here!
It caused them to become even more suspicious! There could be other circumstances involved, but it would most likely mean that this person was dangerous!
The bandits were already exhausted. They certainly did not want to run anymore!
But the deed was already done. Now the bandits had to face the consequences!
Resigning to their fate, They entered the warehouse. Not being able to see anything, Some of them did a magic chant, and suddenly, they had a ball of fire hovering in front of them. The floating fireballs were enough to light up the place.
What they saw stunned them again!
The bandits saw a child. But the astonishing thing was that they saw a child about six years old with only one limb! His eyes were staring at them as they could just read everything about them!
They felt naked under his emotionless gaze. The kid's face looked as if the gods contemplated for decades just to carve this ideal doll! His skin was as if this world's impurities had never even come near him! He had black eyes together with raven black hair.
[A/N: Just check out the cover picture and imagine him six years old! I am bad at appearance descriptions]
The world is undoubtedly unfair! Was everyone's thought after seeing this perfect piece of a doll!
They would have just considered him some child of a god if not for his missing limbs!
——————————
Ozul could see a group of men staring at him like he is some kind of an exotic item.
He was always sensitive to emotions. Ozul could see the surprise, pity, and envy? In their eyes. Ozul had not taken out the black mass, thinking that it may just scare the people away. He did not know what is normal in this world and what is unusual.
”Who?” Ozul asked again when he did not receive any answer from before.
”Oh... We were just passing by and stepped on the runes, which removed the seal outside!” The bandit leader came out of his daze quickly and replied cautiously. He hurriedly explained himself.
'This kid may look harmless, but I can't take any chances.' Razor thought inside his mind.
”Oh! It's okay.” Although Ozul found it weird that no one was standing guard outside and the seal was so easily removed, however, he did not put much thought into it. He kept his emotionless face as it is.
Unknown to Ozul, There were monster repellents set in the vicinity of the warehouse. It kept the random beasts to come near it and destroy the seal by mistake.
But the repellent cannot prevent humans from approaching it. Hence, after six whole years, the first group of people to venture here freed Ozul from this prison.
