The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Journal of the Great Healer Anna Hinamoto, Year 11.010, month 2, day 9.

Today, I started my travels with my son, Seya Hinamoto. So many things happened that I don't even know where to begin. Let's see… we were called by King Rohan because the little Princess had an accident by falling from some stairs when coming out from her room tower and she hurt her neck. The Royal Healers couldn't heal her, I tried and failed, Seya did it in a matter of seconds. Despite making it look easy for him, I know that what he did was impossible. A wound like the Princess had, that didn't allow her to feel anything from her neck down and eventually, will lead to her mercifulness death for stopping her suffering, was healed like if it was just a flesh wound.

During our meeting with the King afterward, my son made a bunch of strange and very peculiar questions to the King. I think he's plotting something because he was very interested in the Ownership Law.

On our way back, we were attacked by some bandits with three Mages in the mix. We easily defeated them and after Seya found out that the Mages had a Magic Crystal around their necks to increase their Magic, he made a lot of questions that I had some troubles to answer. He stopped for a moment to think and he made a Crystal by using Earth, Fire, and Earth Magic again. It wasn't a Magic Crystal, but on his second attempt, he made one, quite easily. I don't know how he discovered the way to make one, just from my answers to his so technically and pinpointed questions. He spent the rest of the journey to our house making Magic Crystals, each of them, infused with one Attribute of Magic. My son is so amazing that sometimes, he scares me!

Seya spent most of this day testing his theory on Magic Crystals creation with me, his father and the Denar'ans. We made a bunch of Magic Crystals, by following his guidance. The last ones, we made it all by ourselves. Seya not only proved his theory with outstanding results, as he also made sure to teach us how to do it. My son has the skills to be an amazing teacher, someday.

We went to the Palace to visit the King and to see how the little Princess is doing. I wanted to make sure that she hadn't any repercussions from her neck injury. While I was talking with the King, Seya was with the Princess in her bedroom. According to what he told me when we were going to a village before coming home, he taught her how to increase her Magic, by training her Magic Control. I know it works because I've been also training mine, following my son guidance and I can tell that the amount of Magic that I can gather has increased and I can control it more easily.

We went to the Palace again. I wanted to teach to the Royal Healers, Seya's methods and explanations about growing new flesh, fix nerves, stopping pain sensors and skin cicatrization. I'm going to tell that it was me that figured out these new methods. I would prefer that Seya received the proper credit, but he's still too young to get so many attention upon himself, that could bring him many problems, but these things are so important that I have to pass his teachings as soon as possible. When he grows up, I'm going to make sure that everyone in the world learns his methods and teachings. He will be recognized as the Great Healer that he already is.

On the way back, Seya told me that the Princess his more powerful than last time that we visited and that in a few years, she will be an amazing Fire Mage. Seems that she's practicing her Magic, very diligently, every day.

Seya returned today with the Denar'ans, using his Gateway Magic. Sully told me that Seya's Denar'an Trials were outstanding and that the Denar'an Elders told him that there's no record of such accomplishments, ever! My son received the name of a very famous ancestor, he's now called Seya 'Tally' Denar'an Hinamoto. He also scolded me and Rolland, for never telling him that he was a Half-Breed RabbitKind, a race that he admires so much. Even after we told him that we both thought that he was too young to deal with such news, he was still very angry with us. He spent all day in the Eternal Forest hunting, he's already in bed and he still doesn't speak to us. I hope he forgives us quickly, I don't like to see him like that, he's always so cheerful and kind that seeing his angry looks towards me, hurts a lot.

Seya has forgiven us, manly, because he had no other way around after my punch on his head and also, because he's very happy whith this discovery. He was nagging Rolland all day to tell him how was his youth while growing up in the RabbitKind Royal Castle. Seeing him so angry yesterday and so happy today with his eyes shining by hearing Rolland, made me think that I should also tell him that I was raised by the actual King of the Dwarfs, Barunger. But my father told me years ago, that he wanted to tell Seya. Last time that my father visited me, he told me that he had already met Seya, but he didn't tell him that he was his Grandfather. Seems that my reckless son traveled to the Dwarfs Mountains, trying to visit the place where the Dwarfs dig up the Magic Crystals. I didn't notice when he went there, maybe it was when he told me that he was going for a hunt or to visit Princess Heiji. I'm wondering how many times he had already escaped my sight and traveled far away, all by himself!

My father asked me to never tell anything to Seya, he wanted to be the one to tell him, to see the look on his face and mock him. He told me that Seya always calls him 'Gramps' as a joke, without knowing that Barunger is really his Gramps!

I used to tell Seya when he was very little, some stories about my youth when I was living in the Dwarfs caves, but I never told him that the girl on my stories, was me. He always found it strange that I fought so dirty like a Dwarf when I'm angry, but he never asked me why.

Today was Seya's birthday. We had a very nice lunch with the Denar'ans and as usual, he gave us gifts, by using his hard gained money. I always told him that on his birthday, he was supposed to be the one receiving presents but since he started to gain his own money when he was 5 by selling the meat and the fur of his hunts, that he started this tradition. I got a beautiful tiara for my hair, filled with Magic Crystals infused with Light Magic. I don't know how he did it, but just looking at it, they seem like shinning little gems, very normal. Only when I placed the tiara in my head, I could feel the Magic in it, increasing my own to a scary level. He told me that the tiara was made by an artisan and that he, later on, placed the Crystals. Like that, the power of the Tiara has been kept secret.

Rolland got a new sword, with a lot of Fire Magic Crystals in the sword guard and on the hilt. When Rolland picked it up, he let it drop, stunned by the sudden increase of his Fire Magic. When he got used to it, he could easily turn the sword into a Fire Sword, surrounded by living flames that were twirling and twisting. As I thought, Seya has been traveling alone, because I could easily see that the new sword had a very special alloy and was made by my father Barunger, the King of the Dwarfs. Only a sword made by the best blacksmith in the world could sustain so much heat without melting or getting hot.

The Denar'ans also got new weaponry and with Magic Crystals placed in certain key points that could increase to a scariest level the rare Dark Magic those three are able to use.

After lunch, Seya went to the Eternal Forest. He said that since it was his birthday, his dearest friend and rival would want to fight him like she always did over these past years. I once asked him if he liked that girl that kept on challenging him on his birthday and he just laughed and said that she's just a strong opponent that he will defeat one day.

We went to a Village at the border with the BeastKind country, to train the Healers in the Healing House, into Seya's methods of healing. While I was there, he went to visit the Village. I'm pretty sure that he went to the Capital of the BeastKind alone, he was very happy when he came to me again. I didn't ask and he didn't tell, but I'm positive that it has something to do with a girl.

Journal of the Great Healer Anna Hinamoto, Year 11.012, month 6, day 1.

Seya challenged her for a fight in some months, saying that he will try to kill her and she must figure out some ways to defend herself! I was worried just by hearing that challenge, but the King was even worse than me, he was petrified in terror with the idea of his daughter having a fight like that!

Journal of the Great Healer Anna Hinamoto, Year 11.012, month 12, day 27.

We were called to the Castle because Princess Heiji was waiting for her opponent.

When those two started to fight, I almost fainted a couple of times, but I had to endure it, the King was feeling worst than me and from time to time, I had to make sure that he was still breathing. The battle of those two was incredible. Seya used a bunch of attack Magic's and Princess Heiji kept on jumping, running or using Fire Walls to defend herself. Once or twice, she used Fire Spears or Fire Bolts in quick succession to stop Seya's powerful attacks. She was able to throw a lot of Fire Bolts right in front of Seya, to obstruct his sight, but when she went to him to get a close-range attack, she was caught by him inside a Fire Cage and she was unable to get free, because since it was her Attribute, for more Fire Magic that she threw against it, the Fire Cage only got stronger and hotter. She was forced to forfeit, drenched in sweat and with a lot of burns on her body. She ended the fight completely naked because her clothes were turned into dust. Seya healed her and covered her with a Mage Robe that he took from his Compressed Dimension. I don't know when and where he got that. Once again, a proof that he's been escaping me in secret, that rascal!

When we were coming back home from a village near the sea by carriage, Seya was silent all way. I thought that he might finally tell me where he went this time, because that excuse that he gave me in the middle of the morning, that he needed to return home by Gateway to see the growth of his crops back home, didn't convince me. After some time he started to make a lot of questions about Mermaids. Where they were seen most of the times, if they were friendly and could be trusted, all sort of things. I think that he had some trouble with a Mermaid and that was why he was making so many questions. When I pressured him to tell me why that sudden curiosity, he frowned and didn't opened his mouth again the entire way home. Something serious happened to him because he tried to disguise it but I could tell that he was very angry. He couldn't even concentrate on his Magic Control training, he kept on losing control of his Magic that he had to quickly disperse before it exploded. He looked worried, but since he didn't tell me, I couldn't help him.

Something very serious happened with Seya today. As usual, he went after lunch to the Eternal Forest, to fight his friend and rival. Instead of returning home angry after another defeat and going straight to train with Null and Sully, this time, he returned very sad. He had a disappointed look on his face that I never saw on him. He got me worried, so, I pressured him to tell me. After my insistence and one or two punches on his head, he started to speak. Seems that his fight didn't end well. He disarmed her, fair and square, but unknown to him, she cheated and attacked him at close range with a Light Push, trying to throw him away. He absorbed her attack and returned it to her, ten times stronger, knocking her out. He told me that he healed her and after scolding her for dishonoring the Bushido Code in a sword fight by using that cheat Magic attack, she didn't apologize, she remained silent. After hearing that, I thought that he was sad because he killed her. But he denied it and I guess that because he was getting nervous by my constant questioning, he told me that he opened a Gateway and banished her to the LizardKind prairies and asked a friend to train her in the way of the Samurai, to make her a better person and an honored fighter, instead of a cheater.

That was the proof that I needed it, he was traveling alone, he even went to meet the LizardKind and he made friends there! I wanted to punch his head for that, but seeing him so sad, I bitted my lip and didn't say a thing about that. Instead, I told him that I was very proud of him, for showing such maturity over someone that dishonored the Bushido Code, that Seya follows since he was 3 years old. My son his really amazing, even when angry he always thinks what's the best thing to do, to help others. I'm sure that girl will return to him one day, and they will become friends again. I never met her, but I know that Seya cares about her.

Seya finally returned home, he was absent for 4 days, without sending any kind of notice. I thought he was dead! In fact, I think he is. His eyes lost his color and his Magic is doing strange things, there's darkness around him that looks alive. They look like flames, twisting, and twirling, but instead of being red and warm, they are dark and cold. I never saw anything like that. I scolded him, slapped him, punched his head, cried while hugging him and he didn't even react! Finally, he looked at me, gave me a little smile and apologized for worrying me. His Dark Magic dispersed, but his eyes were still dead, even while he was smiling. I asked him over and over and finally, he told me, while crying. Seems that he met a girl, a LionKind Royal maid with beautiful yellow eyes in the LionKind Kingdom and for the last two years, he went to meet her at least once a month. But this time, she told him that she wasn't a Royal maid, she was a guy in disguise and Seya got his heart broken. I wanted to punch him for once again, traveling all alone but seeing him so sad, I couldn't. Seems that the LionKind boy really loved him, that's why he never told Seya the truth because he was afraid of losing him, as it had happened the moment Seya knew the truth. He told me that when he saw that Royal maid for the first time, all his body trembled. And kept on trembling for the entire day, while Seya was near her. It only stopped trembling on his second visit, when the maid told him that she also liked him. I knew immediately what it was. Seya had fallen in love and he was even 'imprinted' by her. Rolland explained to me, years ago, that he felt that trembling on his body since the first day that we met, until the day, one year after, when I told Rolland that I liked him. I don't know how my dear Rolland was able to endure that, I always thought that he trembled because he was afraid of me. I couldn't explain this to Seya at this moment, he was very sad. How could I tell him that the 'imprint' was a sign that he had found his life partner? I couldn't, I could only hug my dear son and cry with him.

Journal of the Great Healer Anna Hinamoto, Year 11.015, month 2, day 4.

Today, we went to a Village near the border of the RabbitKind Kingdom. While I was in the Healing House teaching Seya's methods of fast healing and cicatrization to the Healers, he was making some strange drawings with a house and a big wheel next to it and another that was a tall house with a wheel with some boat sails. When I asked what it was, he called them Watermill and Windmill. I thought those names were so strange that I asked him what they did. His explanation blew the minds of everyone that was there. How did he come up with that? After the explanation and as soon as he finished the last drawing, he looked around and seeing that I was still talking to the Healers, he got bored. He asked me if he could go for a walk, and after I asked where he was going and to tell me, without any excuse or changing the subject, he told me that he was going to visit Princess Heiji and dare her to go with him to the LizardKind prairies to kill some disgusting beasts. I wasn't expecting that! And when I asked why he wanted to take the Princess with him, he just answered 'for her to be prepared for the worst'. I didn't understand that and he didn't explain any better. He just said that when she was little, she told him that she wanted to learn with him, to be a better Mage and to protect her beloved Kingdom, if needed. And that because he cares so much about her, over these past years he has been doing all that he could to train her and to make her strong so that she could defend herself against any harm that could go after her, either human enemies or wild animals.

Considering that I was not going to be able to stop him, because, with that Gateway Magic of his, he can escape me anytime he wants, I just told him to be careful and to return later this day, I don't want him to disappear for several days and worrying me to death, ever again. He agreed and he returned for dinner. He's already seated in the bed of the Inn where we are staying, practicing his Magic control. He wanted to return home so that we could sleep on our beds like he always wants during our travels, but I don't want to. What I like the most about my work, are the constants carriage travels around the Kingdom, enjoying the scenery, the sun and the outdoors. I guess Seya is always traveling alone or with the Princess with his Gateway Magic because he gets bored easily. He likes to always do something or think about something, otherwise, he becomes restless. He remembers me of Rolland, on that part.

I enjoyed that for these past 5 years, he kept on traveling with me, keeping me company and making sure that I was always safe but I don't know for how long he will travel with me. He will get bored, sooner or later. I also want that he finds friends of his age, to fall in love, to learn even more and to be happy. My kind and sweet son deserves all that and much more.
