As he occupied his mind on these matters, he slowly but surely began to see the outlines of the destroyed villa’s mansion. Kenzo hurried up, he wanted to be done with the task at hand as soon as he could. As he crossed the villa’s entrance, the blue haired man couldn’t help but chuckle and mutter to himself. ”Talk about a Déjà vu”.
”Miisteeeeeeeer!!!!!! You came back!” A short kid came running to his way. In a second, the boy leaped into the air to cling to the older male. Instinctively, Kenzo avoided the boy and he fell to the ground. With an unamused face, he asked the boy as he dragged himself up. ”Where’s the boss, brat?” Noticeably discouraged by the lack of reaction by Kenzo, the boy lowered his head as he answered in a slightly sad tone. ”He’s waiting for you…. Follow me” The kid was clearly heart broken. To the mercenary though, this was indistinct. ”What a bothersome kid.” Silently, the two made their way through the mudded road. It had rained through the night, so the smell of wet grass, the clear fields and puddles in the mud were relaxing. Kenzo thought to himself what a peaceful life would growing in a place like this be like. Perhaps, he’d have been just like the now disheartened kid, far from his younger person. No use lamenting the past, the man was a mercenary now. ”What’s the job?” The man was skipping courtesies. As he spoke those words, the owner of the villa turned around.

”Either way! We want you to help us be prepared in case an attack happens once again. We will defend ourselves! Please help us, I’ll reward you the same rate as last time.” As the villa’s owner finished his explanation, Kenzo smiled. He hated weak people. But he could respect people that recognized their weaknesses and worked to erase them. ”Very well. But to begin with, we need to do something about that shitty palisade you have around this building.”
For the rest of the day, Kenzo ordered the villa’s workers around. He divided the work into different teams. The people of the villa would delimitate a rectangular perimeter, clearing the area of any trees or obstacles that stood on its way. He sent a team of men to cut wood to the nearby forest while the women helped carrying axes and picks. The hours were spent digging trenches, erecting a palisade and organizing the distribution of the tents and future houses. As the stakes littered the walls of the palisade, he made sure that they were even and had the desired quality. All in all, Kenzo had become for the night a Castrorum. Having been born in Bellum, son to a Bellan commander, Kenzo had spent a large part of his childhood admiring his father’s work. The legions of his home country accomplished impressive civil engineering feats, and as such, Kenzo was familiar with the way they built their forts.
As nightfall came, the man was happy with his job. Not only him, but the whole villa was in high spirits. After collecting his reward, Kenzo made his way back to Crocus to spend the night. As he exited the surrounding land, he saw the boy Isidro playing with some squirrels near a tree. As he noticed Kenzo’s presence, his face lit up, only to freeze after a moment’s notice and lower it in shame. Feeling a little embarrassed, Kenzo hid it the best he could as he awkwardly pet the boy in the head. With a cool voice, he spoke without looking at him. “Good job today kid…”
As he got away, Kenzo couldn’t help but feel weird at the prospect of what just happened. Perhaps he was changing? Either way, he was sure the future would be hard, but perhaps he’d just helped to make the boy’s future change if just a bit too…
