It is the day that the boy had to depart away from his home and travel alone down south in search of his very own life. As he was dragging his luggage out from his home and carry it over his back, he took a final glance at his very own home. The place where he used to grow up from. There was the rocking chair that his father would sit; place right beside the cozy fire place. Even tho is day time, the boy would have the glimpse of his old man rocking the chair while smoking his pipe and gazing over the ever beautiful crimson red fire that is burning in that fire place very night.
Then there was the sight of the boy's mother, sitting just right beside his old man each and one another enjoying their company together. And there was the boy's little brother sitting at another corner reading books about dragons, magic, and fantasies.
It was a weird moment for the boy, as the boy had never felt like this before. The boy knew that he would miss this moment so much despite he hasn't been really appreciative during the times that he was still here. But all the scene was just a scrape of imagination that is playing in his head. Showing him that how much he would miss this place after he leaves.
Regardless how heavy hearted the boy felt, deep in his heart he knew that this is what he have to do. His conviction towards this decision that he had thought so long, he knew that this is the best thing for him now. As he walk slowly leaving his home, without being able to bid farewell to both of his parents and sibling as they were out early to start up their business. The boy took a last glance on the wooden old, cozy, and comfort home, then he turn his back towards it and never looked back at all. Each step was heavy at the beginning, but as he walk further down the road, steps begin be feel lighter and lighter. The excitement in the boy's heart begin rumble so strong and as he took more step till the village outskirt. He was pretty sure about his decisions.
Standing amongst the meadows looking into the vast horizon, the boy had never felt to excited, so much hope and afraid at the same time. But all these feelings only meant one thing for the boy, which is there are unlimited vast of opportunities ahead of him. And so his journey into the vast open world begins.
The boy's first aim is to head down south, with all the supplies and coins that he carry, it might be just the right amount for him to reach his destination. With no one else, around him to guide him, and with his limited skills as a traveller this is a really challenging task for the boy. However, the boy did not seemed to back down towards all these challenges, since young he was taught by his parents of their ways of living an abundant life. The boy always kept in mind of what his mother would always tell him whenever he face trouble since he was young.
His mother would say, "People grow the most when faced with challenges, when we think that we are at our limits; just take one more step ahead then you have already exceeded your limitations hence improved."
This phrase was always in the boys heart and mind all the time, as he faced challenges he would always try his best to think positively and overcome it. With all these trained mind and heart muscle since he was young, travelling alone seemed to be just another way for him to learn and improve.
