Hello. Standard Disclaimer applied. I do not own anything nor do I make profit out of this.

God Atro fell to his knees as he felt fatigue and pain take over his body. He was panting and breathing heavily, his vision slightly blurry. He looked around the place he once called home, now reduced to nothing but piles of debris and rubble. He forced himself to sit up, his tears starting to fall and run down his pale cheeks. The monastery was completely destroyed and nothing could be salvaged. Atro felt the pain in his chest as he looked around to see nothing but ash. He cringed at all the memories he had in this place, as he remembered them all. The memories he made with the people he loved, the training he went through, how he obtained his weapon Urias.. It all seemed useless. Yes he had obtained a noble title, he was a hero, but all that felt like nothing to him now.

"What is the use of my power if I couldnt even protect my home?" He asked himself, his voice raspy. He fumbled around to look for his partner, Urias. The legendary sword was located a few meters from him, although broken. Atro picked up the weapon and he held it, and he was relieved it wasn't taken. It was still intact but it was going to fall to pieces soon. The fight he just had was something he wasn't expecting, as he assumed that only one demon came to wreak havoc. He still couldnt believe that he failed in protecting his home.

(The fight scene/flashback.)

"Tsk. Why are Medusa and Lily's underlings here?" He exclaimed, preparing for the assault.

Skeleton kings, imps, and succubi were everywhere. They weren't much of a problem to Atro, although their numbers bugged him. As he started to slay the intruders, he felt the rustling of leaves and footsteps. He turned around to see a figure he hasn't seen before.

"W-who are you? What are you doing here?" Atro asked. The man, who was clad in white armor, suddenly charged Atro and started attacking him. The stranger was quick, and he was agile as he danced with his spear, which missed Atro a few inches. The man didnt speak, and Atro could feel the piercing gaze behind the helmet. Thinking that talking was no use, he chraged at the man, wanting to end this quick. His questions would have to wait later.

"What..is your purpose?" Atro asked through gritted teeth as their weapons clashed.

His opponent still remained quiet. They continued to fight, Atro moving and striking fast. He managed to pierce the man's armor, and next he was able to loosen his helmet. The figure immediately stepped back, covering the revealed half of his face. The Knight suddenly disappeared as he prepared to strike the armor-clad opponent, only to be greeted by a thrust of a spear to his shoulder. Then, the assailant withdrew, leaving the blonde with questions and a bleeding wound. He looked back, ready to ward off the pests, but his eyes widened as he saw a mass of green goo devouring the demons one by one.

'What in the world is happening?'

(End of flashback)

He let out a small laugh, contemplating on how weak he was and why he couldn't stand a chance against that green gooey being. He coughed out blood, and he clutched his bleeding shoulder. He felt so weak, and his body shook with his every effort of standing. He thought he heard something so he looked around. Unbeknownst to him, another presence started to get closer. This time, it was an assassin, with dark armor and dark colored hair. His chains were about to strike when the bloody hero glanced at the tree he was perched on, his face tired, bloody, and he was crying. Atro couldn't see him, but he could. The assassin suddenly felt a strong surge of pity and surprise, as he caught himself unable to look away. Their eyes met, sad blue meeting surprised onyx. The merchant saw through crimson and tears, and he realized that this target was..beautiful. The target had a slim body, a possible result from training, hair that was neatly kept in a braid, and..'Get a hold of yourself Kuda!' .

He was told that he needed to get rid of a certain male, and he started doubting himself. He caught himself blushing and hid. He sighed, knowing that it was partly his fault for not listening to his employer.

'Is this the target? They said it was a man?!' ... Silence engulfed the area and Atro collapsed.

After thinking and pondering for minutes, he concluded:

'I must be wrong then. She could be his sister or something.'

Kuda started to move, as he was planning to kidnap the 'girl' for info, he swiftly hid behind the leaves as he heard voices nearing. He craned his head and saw a female clad in blue and ice, followed by males that had weapons coated in flames, thunder, and leaves. He could tell they awakened, judging by their auras. All of them were running toward his supposed target and he decide it was time to go.

Eze and Lance immediately noticed Kuda's presence, causing the assassin to flee from the spot. They looked at each other, knowing that they had the same feeling.

"Who was that just now?" Eze started.

"I have no idea. But one thing is for sure, I don't like him." Lance replied in monotone.

Eze looked at his companion, wondering if Lance was even capable of feelings.

"Oi oi I thought Selena had the power of ice?" The thunder god smirked, hitting the green haired male's shoulder. Lance sent a glare of daggers and was about to retort, but was cut off by Vargas and Selena.

"Hey! Why are you just standing there!? Atro is badly hurt!" Selena's voice full of worry.

"Selena calm down. Atro is fine. He just needs some rest. " Vargas said, carrying Atro in his arms. Lance picked up Urias, while Eze assisted Vargas.

"B-but, he's bleeding-"

"I told you, its fine. Um, could you kindly find Titania?" Vargas asked with a smile that caused the girl to blush. She hurriedly went to find the fairy.

The three males followed after her, all of them heading towards Lance's place. It was the nearest after all. They all walked together in silence, Lance and Eze occasionally stealing glances at Vargas.

"What are those looks for?" Vargas asked, slightly annoyed.

Lance could not help but smirk, and Eze smiled wide.

"Well, me and Lance are wondering why you carry Atro like that.?"

"Vargas, you just made Atro look more feminine" Lance pointed.

The flame warrior slightly colored and sighed. "Well, believe it or not I'm actually scared of carrying Atro like how you carried Lance before. Also, if I carried him on my back, his injuries could get worse." He looked at Eze, knowing that Lance hated the thunder god for days because of how he literally dragged the 'Lancer' across the field after a battle.

"I was tired back then! Plus Lance is heavy-" he was cut off as Lance slapped his back. Hard.

They neared their destination and they were about to bicker some more, until they went quiet as Atro let out a cough. Eze was about to tell Vargas about the presence they felt, but Lance silenced him and whispered, "Tell them after Atro recovers." Eze could only nod.
