Yokihiro's 10th birthday has come, his mom buys and cooks many foods in these occasions but today's his 10th birthday Albe Yokihiro's mother give him a paint brush, which Yokihiro loved.
"Happy birthday my baby, this is only thing I can give to you, but I hope you will take care of it, promise?" said his mom
"Thank you mother!, I will cherish this brush you made for me! And I will take care of it I promise!" Yokihiro said adorably while letting his pinky finger up.
Ever since he is a child,he loved being creative and love to paint and craft many things with his mom's guide.
That made Albe heart melt from adorableness and squeeze Yokihiro's cheeks and kiss it "Happy Birthday my little fairy"
And they eat Albe's food and enjoy the rest of the day with them painting and creating stuff such as comb,hair pin and brushes.
"Mother look what i did!" Yokihiro excitedly show her mom a comb he did.
"Well look at this. Isn't it beautiful dear?" Albe replied with his eyes twinkling in awe
"Of course mother, I made this! hehehe" Yokihiro adorably laugh which made his mother laugh too
In that they spend hours and hours of painting and creating things until it's finally night.

Tuesday when Yokihiro's birthday has finished 3 days from Albe's birthday.
Albe left the house at 9 am to buy food for them to cook and eat for a day.
"Yoki baby, mother is going outside to buy a food. Don't run away and stay in the house,okay?" Albe said before going out
"Yes mother!" Yokihiro answered
In that Albe goes out while in the house,Yokihiro secretly made a hair pin for his mother's upcoming birthday in 3 days.
It's been 4 hours since his mom been gone which made him worry because she comes home after 2 hours, he's about to go out and find his mother when the door opened and saw his mom
"Mother what took you so long?" ask Yokihiro
"Ohhh are you about to find me? Hahahah did I make you worry dear?" ask Albe to her son while patting his head
"Of course mother! I thought something's happened to y-" Yokihiro got cut when his mother suddenly collapsed.
"Mother? What’s wrong?” Yokihiro asked cluelessly to his mother. When his mother didn’t answer,Yokihiro starts panicking and knew that something’s wrong.
“Mother! Mother!" Yokihiro keeps shouting and wiggling her to wake up but it's useless, so he got up and go outside to ask for help
After getting out he begged for help,trying to get them to their house and check out his mother
"Help! Help my mother. Please I'm begging you" Yokihiro beg to one of the stall vendor
"Boy I'm not a doctor to check your mother, why don't you try asking in the doctor's clinic" said the vendor
He did what the old man said but the doctor didn't have time for him since there's so many people in que today, he had no choice so, he went back to the vendors and ask for help, until one man who sell medical herbs step in and ask Yokihiro to guide the way.
"Hey kid you've been causing scenes here so what's your problem?" ask the man
"My mo-mother. She's unconscious please help her out" Yokihiro said between his sobs
"I'm a herb vendor maybe i can help your mother, lead the way kid"
"Thi-This way mister" Yokihiro finally stop crying and lead the way to their house
Arriving at the house the man quickly took a look at Albe and examine her breath, pulse and body, he slowly lift his head towards the boy and said
"I'm sorry but i think we are too late, your mom...she's already...dead"
Yokihiro was so shocked on what he heard. He quickly run to his mother and hug her dead body,hoping that it’s all an act to prank him.
"Mother please you're just sleeping right? I thought there's no leaving each other? WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME" Yokihiro loudly sob and cry until he fainted due to tiredness next to her mom.
A day has passed since his mother died and a day since he didn't eat, someone knocked on the door. Yokihiro weakly go to the door and slowly open it, he saw a woman and a man with a blue dresses and though they're here to convince him to become a slave.
The man ask him if he's Yokihiro, Yokihiro nodded and ask who they are.
"Yes I am. Who are you,mister?" Asked Yokihiro to the stranger who asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm Xialin Hue and this my wife Mirae Hue, we're your mother's friend from Sky Laced and ask us to look out for you when something happened" Xialin replied.
"But how did you know something happened to Mother?" Yokihiro asked
*Sigh*"For protection we send our man to protect you and your mother but at the time your mother died my man isn't here and got called in the Pavillion and when you and your mother didn't come outside my man thought something happened and ask around the town and found out someone really did die in the forest, so we hurriedly come here" Xialin sadly said and even said sorry to Yokihiro's for not protecting his mother.
"Yokihiro dear will you come to our house and train there? Don't worry you'll have someone to play with in the Sky Laced" Mirae said softly
Yokihiro is having a second thoughts because of his promise not to leave her mom but after a while,Yokihiro said yes and they started their journey from Querencia where he is from to Twaon.
The couple gave him food on their way and let Yokihiro sleep, in Yokihiro's pocket there he have his mother's hair pin that he wants to give her.

*Yokihiro's POV*
While I was getting treated by the doctor, Aunt Mirae and Uncle Xialin said that i have to train their one wind weapon and a dagger which made me feel excited because I've been wanting to train but my mother won't allow me, thinking of my mother i remembered that her birthday is in 2 days but i didn't get a chance to give her the Hairpin i made…
"Yoki dear are you okay by training with a dagger and a flute?" Aunt Mirae said, i noticed that she really talk soft that you'll feel reassured.
"Aunt Mirae is flute a weapon?" I asked,confusion can be seen through my face.
I mean,how can a flute become a weapon?
Instead of answering,Aunt Mirae just laughed at my question.
"Flute can be a weapon and a healing weapon for us Yoki so you'll need it incase" Uncle Xialin said which made sense because they do use Wind instrument weapon like they told me.
"Oh! Jing come here i have someone to introduce to you" uncle said which made me look into the door and saw a boy who's shorter than me. He's probably 8 years old, the boy slowly walked while looking at me.
"Yoki this is our son Jing Hue and you'll train with him and oh. Also,he's the same age as you" said uncle that makes me shoked.
‘He's the same age as ME? 10 YEARS OLD? I have to say sorry later to him thinking he's 8’
I said in my mind and chuckled.
Welp,I’m looking forward training with him.
