The man tried to speak with William too.
"Hey, can you understand me?" he asked.
William stared at him, clueless. He shook his head slowly in denial, hoping the gesture would get the message across.
When the man saw that, he looked genuinely shocked.
His son noticed the reaction.
"What's wrong?"
"You know the language we speak is the same throughout our kingdom—and in the two neighboring kingdoms as well. They were all part of the same empire once. So, if this man doesn't understand us… then he must be from very far away. And not just that—he fell from the sky. So who exactly is he?"
Something clicked in the boy's mind.
"You're right, Father! Are we even safe? What if he's dangerous?"
"I don't know," the man replied. "But it's not like we can just leave him. Let's help him—and then we'll see what kind of man he really is."
The man's name was Undir. A humble warrior. He looked after his only son and protected everyone in their small village.
