My Triling System

The old woman signalled for him to follow her which he did almost instantly. Simon also followed after him as they entered the old woman’s tent.

“I heard you have a question.” The old woman said as they entered her tent.

Kevin was once again dumbfounded by her question. This was probably the first time he’ll be seeing her. What does she mean by he has a question for her.

“Err, sorry. I think you must have mistaken me for somebody else.” Kevin said as he moved towards the exit but the old woman immediately stopped him in his movement.

“Stop!” As the old lady shouted this, Kevin’s legs stood in a position that he doesn’t seem to be able to move them again.

“I’m not mistaken! you are Kevin, the only son of my daughter, my grandson.” The old lady said.

Kevin stilled in his unmoving position and glanced at the old lady.

“I know you don’t believe this but I’m your grandmother. I was with your mother who is my daughter on the day you were born into this world.” She said.

.....

“From the very moment you were born, I knew you were a Triling. Although many didn’t know this but I’m a goddess. I’m the one you were looking for, Kevin.”

‘But I thought the goddess was blind, how come?’ Kevin thought but now that he looked at the old lady’s eyes, he saw that they were closed a little bit but she was able to walk like nothing was wrong with them.

“So… so… you mean you are the…?” Kevin stuttered.

“Don’t worry Kevin, I never knew this day will finally come. I’ve seen the possibility of this happening, this is probably the second to the last good thing I’ll do before I die.”

“Great mother, what do you mean by those words?” Simon said almost crying. “Why would you die? You’ll spend 200 more years.”

“Hush man, I’m talking to my grandson not you.” She replied and Simon immediately kept his mouth shut.

“In case I meet you or not, I already wrote a letter to you. It contains the details of everything you need to know.” The old woman handed a letter to Kevin and immediately walked away, setting him free from the movement restriction.

Kevin wanted to ask something so he followed after the old lady but she was nowhere to be found.

“Where is she? I need to ask her something.” Kevin said as he ran out of the tent with the hopes of seeing the old lady, but the old lady hid in a place where Kevin couldn’t spot her.

After searching to no avail, Kevin finally gave up. Simon also tried searching for her but it was the same result as Kevin’s.

Just then, someone ran towards Simon from behind. He was a young fairy, who appears to be one of the watchmen of the black market.

“Sim! Sim!” The fairy called out as he grabbed Simon’s clothes.

“They are here! The vampires are here!”

“Vampires?” Everyone in the black market was alerted as they heard this.

“I saw thousands of them heading for our city. I think they are planning a full war against the magical creatures.” The fairy reported and everyone panicked even more.

“Full vampire army?” Kevin said. “I thought they were heading for the human world, did they changed their mind so quickly.”

‘Wait, should I be worried about that? My wives! The vampires do not plan on going to the forbidden forest, do they?’

“Kevin, are you staying here?” Sam appeared out of nowhere while holding his Kara sword ever so tightly.

“Why? Is there a problem?” Simon asked.

“We’ll be activating all barriers now. No one will be able to enter or leave here till we’re done.” Sam replied. “I thought you were heading for the forbidden forest, did you change your mind?”

“Oh no! I need to go right now. My wives are in the forest right now, they could be in danger.” Kevin exclaimed.

“You can leave now, we’re yet to close the barriers.”

“What about the vampires?” Dawn said appearing from a corner.

Kevin didn’t want to seem like a coward escaping for his life to the kid, so he thought of the best excuse to give him.

“Dawn, I think we’ll be needing the dragons to deal with the vampires.”

“Really? Are you going to bring the dragons to kill those evil Vampires?” Dawn asked excitedly.

“Yes I am.” He replied almost immediately. “Simon, Sam, protect everyone till I come with the dragons. I’m trusting you guys.” Kevin said and the two men nodded.

Kevin smiled at the kid and without wasting much time, he teleported out of the place and appeared at the forbidden forest.

As soon as he appeared on the other side, he started calling out for his wives to see if they were safe or perhaps the vampires were holding them hostage.

“Lexa? Sunny? Azura!” He called out but there was no response and there wasn’t even a sign of them anywhere.

He looked around the area but couldn’t find them. He started getting scared and frightened by the thought of the vampires taking his wives away.

He was about to go mad that Louis spoke out.

‘Your girls are fine buddy. You don’t have to look so frightful.’ Louis said.

Just as the System said this, Kevin recalled that he could contact his wives through the system. Due to the fright and fear of losing his wives to the vampires, Kevin had momentarily forgotten about the System.

He tried communicating with Lexa who instantly replied to his call.

“Hello?” He asked.

“Hello honey! Are you back?” Lexa sounded cheerfully which confused Kevin a lot.

“Yeah, where are you guys.”

“Walk down the stream, you’ll see a small but large hut upfront.” Lexa directed.

Kevin did as she said and saw a hut before him.

“I’m here.”

“Come in, these dwarfs invited us to dinner with them.” Lexa said.

“Dwarfs??” Kevin exclaimed. He has never seen a dwarf before or know what they look like, and the word dwarf sounded foreign to him.

Just then, Lexa came out of the hut and as soon as she saw Kevin, she waved for him to come over.

Curious on what a dwarf was, Kevin made his way towards the hut.

“Hey Husband.” Lexa said as she gave Kevin a tight hug.

“I have a good news for you.”

“What is this place?” Kevin asked.

“After you were gone, we decided to find a place we could camp in till you’re back. But then the blood fairy started uttering some strange things.”

“What strange things?”

“She said she could feel her mother’s connection near here, so she started walking towards a direction. We don’t know what she was doing but we followed behind her until we came across this hut.”

“So what happened?”

“Right in front of this hut was a woman, she looked exactly like the blood fairy. She looked so young and pretty…”

“Hey you’re back.” Elsa, the rest of Kevin’s wives and the five men came out of the hut. Just behind them were short fat men who was instantly recognised by Kevin to be the dwarfs.

‘They are so short.’ Kevin giggled within himself.

‘Hey! You don’t laugh at dwarfs. They can kill you if you do so.’ Louis warned.

‘It’s not like they could hurt me. You must have forgotten that I’m the Triling.’

‘I see, you now view yourself as someone powerful. Not bad. It’s one of the attributes of being the strongest.’

“This is my mother, the pretty and stunning blood fairy Queen.” Elsa said pointing towards a woman dressed in a red coloured gown. “Mother, this is the Triling.”

“Is She Kara?” George asked. “Like, the Kara everyone talks about?”

Sunny shook her head slightly and sighed at his question.

Kara chuckled softly as she stepped closer to Kevin.

“You flaunt me a lot Elsa. But I love it.”

She was now at a few distance close to Kevin with a staff in her hand. She smiled at Kevin and spoke up.

“It’s a privilege to meet with you again, Kevin. Thanks for rescuing my daughter.”

“Excuse me, have we met before?” Kevin asked.

“I’m friends with your grandmother. She has been watching on you over all the years you spent in the forest with the wizard.”

“You know the wizard?”

“Kevin, you’re special than you think you are. The group of wizards and witches have already foreseen your birth before you came to this world. We intentionally made you stay in the forest with the Wizard, cause that’s the only way we can protect from Rajshah, and the people.”

“People? What do you mean by that?” Kevin asked.

“I’m sure your Grandmother already gave you the letter. There’s no need for me to explain.”

“Wait mother, you said you will tell me what happened to you once the Triling is here. How did you manage to escape from Rajshah.”

.....

“Ah, of course. I will tell you.”
