Chapter 3 - The past promises

After almost an hour the food was ready and everyone was waiting for Aunt Amara to bring out the last dishes and join them in the hall.

Everyone was waiting paitiently while sitting in the hall just then Amara came out of the kitchen and joined them.

Amara then said to Elarion to cut the cake which she bought as a surprise for him from the money she got by working in the houses of other villagers. Elarion expressed her anger at that " Why did you wasted so much money on a cake, you could have saved it for the future maybe we might need it in the future in case of an emergency."

" The money is not wasted at all, look at the faces of the others they are delighted that they would be able to eat cake even if it is slighlty expensive but it is worth every bronze coin spent because for me you and these children happiness is all that matters." Amara replied and then added " Quickly cut the or do you wish to get the food cold so you can sleep hungry."

He chuckled at her words and quickly cut the cake while all the children wished him happy birthday and a good fortune.

After cutting the cake everyone started eating the food, suddenly Elarion remembered something " Aunt Amara didn't you when you will turn 10, I will tell you more about cultivation and our world."

" Ok, Elarion I will tell you everything you want to know about cultivtion and our world as bedtime story after we finish our dinner."

" Then i guess i have to thank you for that."

" There is no need for the thank you as it was a promise i made, I must fulfill it."

Soon they finished their dinner, Aunt Amara and Eleanor headed towards the kitchen to do the dishes while Elarion and others were preparing their bedding in the hall. Withing 10 minutes the bedding was ready and all children except Eleanor, Ely and Elarion as they three were the most excited to know about the world as they haven't even seen most of their village especially Elarion, as his features were too striking Aunt Amara didn't allowed him to roam in the village, the places he could visit were very few and the riverside being one of them.

Amara then walked out of the kitchen and sat near Elarion as she could clearly see the excitement in those blue eyes of his and without any second thought she started telling about the world to them.
