In a shabby house in the small town of Valha, Wales help his mother Marie as she cook them dinner of simple porridge. While in middle of making the porridge a knock came on the door.
The mother and son head snapped towards the door in surprised and slightly panicked, they were expecting no visitor no one knows them, who they are or where they live but now someone was knocking on the door.
Marie grabbed the dagger on the small kitchen table, she gestured at Wales to stay silent while she slowly approach the door.
"Who is there?" Asked Marie, but no answer came.
"Who is there ?" She asked again.
"Come on Marie will you open the door " came a voice so familiar to the mother and son, and a smile broke out of their lips.
Marie quickly opened the door and at the other side of the door stood a tall man in his mid twenties, he has a short curly brown hair similar to that of Marie and if one look closely one will see the resemblance between the two.
"Thimi!" Marie exclaimed happily as she hugs her brother. They embraced teach other before letting go of each other, and Thimi finally turn to the reserved and shy little Wales.
"Hello Wales won't you give your uncle a hug," said Thimi. Wales run towards his arm letting go of his shyness.
It's been months since they all saw each other last, the last time they saw each other was before Wales start training and they were trying to know his elements. Thimi had left shortly after the test of elements shows that Wales has the power to control all elements making him a multi elementalist.
Thimi knew how dangerous it will be for Wales if this information leak, the orc will try everything possible to kill him, and the human might not be able to save him since the orc as spies among humans.
Since the orc won't want another Hightower situation they will try with everything they have to kill Wales, Thimi was sure of that, so he told Marie to hide Wales from people though she was already doing that because of who Wales father was.
Thimi had left claiming he will find them, and he always does even without them telling him of their location .
"Why are you here?" Marie asked his brother, she knows Thimi don't show up without a purpose.
"That hurt a little sis" replied Thimi pretending to be hurt by Marie's word.
"Oh no Thimi, I don't mean it like that just that you don't show up without a purpose " Marie explained.
"I was just kidding " Thimi smiled then turned to Wales "I came here for Wales "
"Me?" Asked Wales in suprise.
"Yea little nephew "
"Why?" Asked Marie
"The trail ground as opened again, and most of the new generation will be going there, I believe it will be a great opportunity for Wales to get stronger "
Marie frowned "didn't you say I should hide him from the world?"
"Yes, but we can't hide him forever he needs to get stronger and powerful to be able to defend himself, so he needs opportunity like this to get stronger quickly"
Marie thought for a seconds before nodding in agreement to what her brother said. "You are right " she said.
"I know I am, tomorrow I will take him with me to the capital where the portal is" said Thimi and Marie agreed.
