Im A Busy Man

-3 years later-

Angel and Daemon got along very well, but they were at that stage where they developed... emotionally. They were both 8 this year and had learned the most basic of magic. I explained to them a tier system for magic ;

Tier 1 - Chore Magic

Tier 2 - Basic Spells (fireball)

Tier 3 - Intermediate Spells (Fire-Wall)

Tier 4 - Advanced Spell (Fire-Tornado)

Tier 5 - Mastery Spell (Fire-Spirit Summoning/ Igris)

Tier 6 - God-Level Spell ( Meteor Shower )

Shes learned up to tier 2, and a few tier 3 spells.

While daemon quickly advanced and has already learned tier 4 spells, but is in the realm of a tier 3 mage.

They both considered each other rivals, but I noticed quickly, Angel was naturally adept at the magic that helps others, like healing magic, white magic, spirit summoning. While Daemon was great a Black Magic, Fire Magic, and Soul Magic. Just as a few examples.

They still got along, however, which I am very happy about, to see two of my considered children, grow happy together.

-4 years later-

Both of them have hit 12, they now run into the forest together all the time, I don't like using my powers much anymore, I like this life, having a family is a great way to live.

If only they could stay like this.... if only...

I knew they both liked each other, but they also considered each other siblings by now.

One day though, Angel came back flushed red. And daemon slept outside on the porch, he seemed to embarrass to talk to Angel. He seems to have tried to make his move... and succeeded.

If only they would stay this innocent. I knew he only kissed her on the cheek. Like Id let my two children commit inappropriate deeds at 12, hmph.

-2 years later-

I caught daemon peeking into my study. I reprimanded him for it, and now Angel stops him every time he wants to go in. It's only making him more curious. I can still remember when he was just an innocent boy who liked carving with Angel. Why cant they stay cute and small.

They're both 14 and Angel wants to leave the forest, while Daemon wants to go hunting, I haven't been outside in 15 years as well, I don't know how much it's changed.

I decided id let them go hunting now that they both know Tier 4 magic. I've kept the Tier 5 and above magic in my study.

- 1 Year later -

They're both 15, and they snuck out last night.

I sat on the porch in my rocking chair smoking from a pipe Angel carved me when she was little.

What should I even do? I'm so worried, If I was with them I could prevent everything, I could still do it without being with them, but I just want them to live normally, with the ability to defend themselves.

They could die out there, but I taught them to tier 4 magic... they should be able to escape.

Huuuh, these darn kids got me feeling old, I'm only as old as the universe! I still got years to go.

To keep an update on my status as an old grandpa who knows a bit of magic, I kept my appearances as a grandpa up and steadily made myself look older.
