Maxilin hurriedly placed the hawk on the bed, and he also got some blood on his hand. "Who attacked this baby hawk in this way?" wondered Maxilin.
"What should I do now, though? My father and uncle aren't at home. Then how will I treat it?" he murmured.
But after a while, he patted the baby hawk and murmured, "Don't worry, Hawki, Maxilin will take care of your wound."
Maxilin took the lantern and went downstairs, just as he had stated. He opened a drawer, took his father's first-aid kit, and returned to his room. He took a seat next to the bird and began treating its wound with medication. After a while, he wrapped its wings. He didn't do things flawlessly, but that's not a problem, it was just okay. Maxilin smiled to see the hawk. The hawk ceased to chirp and drew his eyes tight.
Maxilin muttered as he stroked the hawk, "You must be starving. You are free to relax here. I'm going downstairs to find something edible for you."
Maxilin walked downstairs and headed to the kitchen to look for insects. He killed two cockroaches and found a lizard.
He wrapped them up in a piece of paper and returned to his room. He sat close to the hawk. As soon as the hawk noticed Maxilin, he approached him. It began to chirp. Maxilin smiled as he saw the hawk in this position. He held the lizard in front of his mouth and that hawk just grabbed the lizard and started gulping. Maxilin was far too excited to find a bird right now. That hawk perched on the edge of Maxilin's bed and relaxed after eating. Maxilin smiled and caressed his back.
Maxilin said, "Will you stay with me, Hawki?" That hawk began chirping after hearing Maxilin. "Is that yes?" Maxilin said, his eyes gleaming.
"Then I'll call you Hawki from now on. I'll tell my father to build you a house," Maxilin remarked.
That hawk fluttered his one wing. "If you're comfortable on my bed, you're free to rest here as well," Maxilin said. Maxilin was about to get into bed when he noticed the window had been opened. He had forgotten to shut the window. He looked at the hawk. Its eyes were shut.
"If I don't close the window now, Hawki will fly away tomorrow."
Maxilin got out of bed and walked over to the window. He was going to close the glass when he noticed a woman walking across their yard. Maxilin's eyes widened as he saw that woman.
"Mother," he mumbled.
"It's my mother. My mother is here?"
"Mother!" cried Maxilin.
Maxilin called her many times, but she didn't respond by looking up at the window. That woman abruptly began walking towards the forest.
"Mother, where are you going?" cried Maxilin. But then she came to a halt and gazed up at the window. She extended her hands and smiled with moist eyes.
"My son, Maxilin, how are you doing? Did you miss me?" she stated.
"Mother, where have you been?" cried Maxilin.
Through sad eyes, that woman added, "My son, your father, abandoned me. Your mother will never come to you again."
Maxilin's eyes widened as he cried out, "Please, no, mother. Please don't abandon me. I really missed you. I want to go with you. Please wait for me. "
As Maxilin had stated, he grabbed the lantern and dashed downstairs, opening the door. He walked into the yard and noticed his mother heading towards the woods.
Maxilin screamed, "Mother, please don't go away!"
However, Maxilin's mother has already entered the woods. When Maxilin noticed her walking away, he didn't hesitate and went after her.
"Mother, please don't leave me," Maxilin pleaded.
"Mother!" said Maxilin, who grabbed her from behind.
"Please don't abandon me again, mother. I will not let you go," Maxilin said. Maxilin's mother took his hand in hers and looked at him. She knelt down and gently stroked his cheek.
"Maxilin, my boy," his mother said, her eyes welling up with tears.
"How are you doing, dear?" she asked.
"Why did you abandon me, mother?" Maxilin questioned with a nod. "Don't you miss me?"
"I've been missing you a lot." That is why I came here to meet you, my son. Maxilin's mother stated, "If I come when your father is at home, he will not let me meet you."
"How come, mother? I'm sure, father misses you as well," Maxilin remarked.
"Really?" his mother answered with a smile. "Did your father tell stories in the same way that I did?"
I gave a nod and added, "He did, but only sometimes. But I like your stories the most, mother. "
"Does my Maxilin want to hear the story again?" she asked, smiling.
When Maxilin heard his mother, he looked around. He asked, "here?"
"No, not at all, my son. I'm talking about our new home, "she stated.
"Our new home?" Maxilin asked again.
She nodded and smiled. "Do you want to come?" she asked. Maxilin nodded and smiled.
"Then let's leave," his mother remarked, and Maxilin noticed the ground dividing and a red light rising from there. Maxilin asked, his face solemn.
"What is this, mother?" Maxilin asked.
"It's our new home. We'll go over it on our way home, "she stated.
She said, "Come here, my love." She extended her hand to Maxilin as she murmured. Maxilin said nothing and just grabbed his mother's hand like an obedient child. The red circle seems to have already hypnotized Maxilin.
"Come with me, honey, we'll have a lovely life together," his mother purred as she approached the circle cautiously.
"Mother, you are right. We intend to do so," Maxilin moved closer to the center of the circle.
But then there was the weapon that one of the Maxilin fathers had shown him and that came out of nowhere and stabbed right into the circle. When the side suddenly became brighter, Maxilin's mother shouted and let go of her grasp on her son's hand. A strong wind knocked Maxilin away so forcefully that he tumbled to the ground and lost consciousness.
Maxilin was alone in the wilderness, with his great-grandfather's sword at his side. A slew of creatures howled all around him.
The opposing viewpoint.
"What do you think, Xavier?" Leko asked.
"This spirit just wants to use this innocent soul as a host," Xavier said.
When Leko saw the victim's father, he stated, "You should've called a father. It isn't a major concern. "
"We were really afraid and worried it would be dangerous," the victim's father stated.
Xavier took a step forward and added, "It's all right, Leko. It's also a part of our job. Your daughter is OK now, Mr. That spirit will not bother her."
"Thank you, Lord Xavier," he said. "Leko, let's go," Xavier remarked as they all walked out of his house.
