Chapter 5 - The change at sights

Ola and the little girl are now walking side by side down the city streets hoping to leave.

"What happened here, everything is destroyed and most importantly, why were those people being killed and why were you all next", Ola finally speaks out about what happened.

The little girl stops as she hears Olas words and her little hands begin to tremble as she remembers. " i-i don't know why exactly, The group of people before me, I didn't know Any of them but, the people in my group, I recognised some of them and they would never do anything to cause a death sentence", The little girl speaks with truth and sorrow.

Ola looks down at the girl, He grabs her trembling hands which causes her to pull back in fear since she still doesn't trust Ola from all the stories she had heard.

He holds her hands firmly and looks at her. 'I don't know whats happening in this world anymore, by the sounds of it, neither do you, were both alone in this world now, so join me, we will explore this world together". Ola says and truth in his words.

The little girl looks up at ola, who's not much taller than her since he's actually small, at 5'5 feet tall. She thinks for a moment, unsure of what to say. Her mind is full of stories that painted Ola as a bad guy but seeing him in person, feeling his words hit her heart, a new warmth grows within her she has never felt before.

She hesitates but eventually gives in. "Fine, okay, I will come with you, but why me, I'm a little kid, I don't even have magic and I'm weak and fragile, I will be a burden". She speaks loudly as if trying to make ola push her away.

"Don't speak so little of yourself, you've managed to still speak to me after you heard all them stories that were made". Ola says in a comforting voice. "How about I give you a name". When Ola offers to give her a name, her eyes widen in suprise, clearly she can't believe someone has offered to give her a name. She has been nameless all her life.

"What, why do you want to name me, you don't know me, all I know is that your a bad guy, you've killed people for fun", The little girl says out loud but is hit with a realisation, Ola's eye have no hint of aggression, only warmth within them. Ola has even told her about his life, and the destruction within. She feels a little guilty after thay outburst.

"Sure, I don't know you, and without a name, no one will know you, If you don't want me to name you then I won't, but you can't live without a name", Olas words hit her deap in her gut. The truth almost seemed to much to handle. Her minds flashes back to her father but she does emher best to block him out.

A frown grows at her face and a determined look sharpens her eyes. "I will be known by a name someday, I will hold that promise upon my mother's grave". She says with words almost like a warrior. Ola can't help but smile hearing her words and the look on her face reminds him of how his mother used to look like when she used to scold him.

She notices his smile and cant help but smile back with a look of embarrassment. "That's get out if this city, its giving me the creeps and after beingbso close to certain drsth, I just want to go", The little girl says which Ola nods and agrees.

The both if them start walking down the street again until they finally reach the end of the city walls and walk over the broken, burned door that is on the floor covered un moss and mud. A path ahead leads to a dark forest with over hanging branches.

As they start walking, Ola feels the girls grab his cloak, clearly she's scared of going into the forest. "We don't have to go through the forest yet, we can stay under the tree over they until sunrise". Ola says to comfort the little girl. She nods and Ola leads her to a large tree. They both settle beneath it.

The night slowly passes, ola closes his eyes and listens for any bird noises. He used to always do this because hearing birds made his mind settle and be out at ease.

Minutes went on and on.

Still bit a single bird noise Ola spends his eyes with confusion, still seeing the darkness and moonlight shine upon them and the path ahead. He looks down and sees the little girls head on his lap as she is sleeping peacefully. Her chest rising up and down slowly.

Ola looks at the cut on her head that happened after she tripped over trying to run after him. It's still shining with faint blood but not bleeding like it was.

Suddenly his head drops to his chest as he falls asleep. A blacked out figure approaches with a large smirk on its face as she takes the little girl away and leaves a not under Ola's hand.

Hours pass. Ola Opens his eyes slowly with a heavy headache. His vision is blured but once his brain is thinking straight he noticed that the little girl is gone.

Ola frantically stands up and runs around everywhere hoping to fine her. He doesn't know what to shout out hoping she will here him because she hasn't got a name.

After twenty minutes of searching, Ola is back where he woke up, under the large oak tree.

The sun flickers of the note on the ground, making Ola look down and see the yellow note hovering on the grass. Ola picks it up and what he reads curdles his blood and Fire envelops his hand which burns the note to a crisp. The anger on Ola's face shows and maybe the note isn't far off what it says.

'So, I see your alive, Ola Or should I say, Mr demon. I kidnapped the little girl, if you want her alive then turn yourself in'. That is what the note said.

Ola's blood is boiling with rage.

When ola first awoke feom the ice on the beach, He felt a warmth inside his body that was moving around like the sun itself. It was so hot it felt like it was burning his insides but Ola wasn't affected by it.

As ola looks down at his fist covered in a Orange flame with sparks of red lightning flashing out, He remembers he never unlocked magic power, Well, From what he remembers.

He also remembers faintly moments before he saw red when the dark mage was laughing and dancing whilst carrying his mother and her best friends head. He felt his body heat up and saw a orange glow before everything went black and he was suddenly on his knees crying as all around him was dead bodies of the Dark mages he has killed.

"Did I awaken magic at that time", Ola says to himself as he looks at the flame.

The flame is causing him no harm and when he thinks back the when that robot blasted him with fire magic and Ola took it head on but it didn't affect him at all, Ola thinks that he has awakened his magic, And he has a rare kind of magic which is fire magic.

Ola closes his eyes with a raised chin, calming his mind and slowly connects to that warm ball inside him.

As time goes on, the wind and broken leaves blow into olas body as his mind is elsewhere.

He can see the ball inside his mind as clear as day now. It's a small orange and black ball that is spinning as a super high speed flicking of red lightning which is magic clashing together. One thing is for certain, that is Ola's magic energy source.

Ola thinks steadily and as his body calms the spin if the ball slows down to a slow steady pace. He opens his eyes and he can now freely control his fire magic. It's feels like an on and off switch in the palm of his hand.

But, Regardless of all of this, The only thing on Ola's mind is finding the little girl.

He starts walking on the path ahead that leads into the spooky forest that has a creepy feel to it, with over hanging tree branches and broken, burned crusty brown fallen leaves. Ola doesn't feel any fear as he heads into the forest with an angry determined look on his face.

Ola walks this path for a few miles when suddenly his head snaps to the right as he senses a faint flow of magic deap in the forest.

Without another second, Ola bolts into the forest woods and jumps over fallen logs and being carful of risen tree stumps. He can see an opening that's hard to see out off but he runs towards it. He suddenly stops and leans backwards trying to help his stop before his feet slip makinghim land on hit bottom but his feet hang.

The opening lead to a cliff. Ola was lucky he didn't take another step forward or he would be plummeting down right now. He scoots backwards and stands up and his skin shivers and the realisation hits him that he's been asleep in a preserved ice shell for two thousand years. After what he can see.

Ola's eyes scan from on top of the cliff and he can see a massive kingdom in the middle of a crazy big landscape with mountains blackened in the distant. The kingdom was absolutely scary to him as it was so big and so well designed. It looked so modern.

Ola can see smoke raising up from the four corners of the kingdom and in the middle on a hill. There lies a Castle.

"What the heck is that place, it look so cool", Ola speaks with amazement but when he is hit hit a gust is magic power that's almost like a gust of wind, he looks startled and on guard.

The hairs on his arms stand sensing danger ahead as pulses of magic power reminate from the castle.

Many things are going through Ola's mind, but he knows now for sure. He is in a different world that he used to know And for some odd reason he is painted as a bad guy.

Something more certain is that the little girl is definitely in that kingdom as ola senses the same type of magic that was lingering around the tree where the little girl and him were after she was kidnapped.

Ola prepares himself, He knows he is going towards certain danger but he will save the little kid at the risk of his own life

There is a steep hill at the far end of the cliff that leads down to the ground below, Ola walks and starts his decent.
