“I will not allow you to join the Protectors,” she
said.
“Mother, I have decided that I will join them. Do
not let me leave without you saying bye,” he said.
She could not argue anymore and started to cry. He
hugged her and tried his best to console her.
Andrew rode his father’s horse, which was the only horse
his family had. He took the food his mother prepared for
him. He intended to head to the Brave Protector’s center in
Rawna City.
While he was riding the horse, his mother stood
outside their house afraid and crying.
She said, “Andrew, your sister and I need you.
Please, do not go to the Brave Protectors. This is so
dangerous.”
“Mother,” he said, “do not be afraid. I am so
powerful, and nothing bad will happen to me. I will be back
for you and my sister every now and then. Be sure of that.”
He did not say “I am so powerful” just to assure his
mother, but also because he had great self-confidence.
He left heading for Rawna City. After two days of
continuous travel, he reached it. When he arrived there, he
immediately asked people where he could find the center of
the Brave Protectors. He knew from them the exact position
of it and headed toward there.
