Chapter 1 - The Traveling Heroes
"- You are an idiot."
The sky grew darker on the lands of Piena. Last night had sounded the beginning of the reign of the Majin, the God of demons. The heroes of the six flowers had been chosen by the Goddess of Destiny and now had to meet to reach the island of the demons God to face it and avoid the end of the world.
"- Why ? I was chosen as I wanted!"
Two figures were rushing between the thickets, escaping the Royal Guard of the Empire Piena yelling in the distance.
"- And you were forced to sabotage the tournament?"
The grand Piena tournament was made to confront the bravest soldiers in an arena, which was said watched by the Goddess of Destiny. Many battles took place and the goal of each participant was to demonstrate his courage to become a hero and face the demon God.
It was without counting the intervention of Adlet in the middle of the semi-final who managed to defeat both fighters with somewhat questionable methods.
Adlet began to slow his run, followed closely by Fremy. He turned around to make sure they were no longer pursued.
"- I think we have escaped them" he said, resting his arms on his lap to take a breather.
Fremy past him by adding :
"- You did not answer my question."
After regaining his forces Adlet walked toward her. Even if they were not prosecuted anymore, they should rapidly reach the meeting point.
"- It is by proving my strength at this tournament that I was able to become a hero.
- It is also thanks to this that you have been locked up for months? "
Adlet put one arm behind his head in apology. After having sabotaged the tournament adlet has been jailed by the Royal Guard for a long time. On the night he received his mark, the gloomy atmosphere of the capital was such that Fremy had managed to enter the area where the detainees are held. It is thanks to her that adlet was able to escape.
"- Yes but...
- And this is also why I could not see you once during that time" said Fremy with melancholy voice.
Adlet sighed.
"- You know why I really wanted to become a hero. I had to put all the chances on my side. Besides, I'm sure those guys would never have had the temper to measure themselves against the fiends. I saw the way they fight, they had many openings. No, we need someone strong and agile, with a courage and unfailing determination. Someone like me ! "
After listening to his monologue, Fremy stopped and said:
"- A simple 'sorry' would have been enough."
Adlet blinked and realized that once again, his spiel was no use.
"- Oh. Um ... sorry. "
Fremy sighed and resumed walking, grabbing the hand of Adlet. With a slight smile; barely noticeable, she said:
"- You are an idiot."
The night was already well underway when they arrived in a small clearing in which was a little dwelling made in ancient stones. It seemed quite small for two people but that's where the two heroes lived.
"- I see you have well kept our place" Adlet said wryly.
Indeed, the lawn was covered with weeds. The foliage of the surrounding trees hung down over the small edifice and cobwebs had formed on the corners of the walls.
"- I have not spent a lot of time here during your absence" Fremy said calmly advancing towards the entrance.
"- Hmm."
This surprised Adlet, after all she had no other place to go. But he decided not to ask for anything more, Fremy already seemed quite upset. Actually, I still don't know what she has done all these months, Adlet thought. He preferred to relativize :
"- It doesn't matter, we will not stay long anyway."
Fremy didn't answer and walked to open the door. Suddenly a cloud of dust escaped from the house and flew outward.
Fremy coughed and closed the door immediately.
"- Err, I think we will sleep under the stars tonight" Adlet said.
After having arranged a makeshift camp and ate some food, they prepared for the night. Although it's hot during the day in this region, the nights were rather cold, it was therefore necessary allow a minimum of preparation.
"- I brought a blanket for you, I know you're always cold at night" Adlet said while sitting down.
"- Thank you" Fremy simply answered.
After having kindled a fire, Fremy put her weapon down and sat beside Adlet. He wrapped the blanket around them and leaned back against a tree trunk fallen to the ground. Fremy approached a little and grabbed the right hand of Adlet hugging their fingers.
It will take them several hours before reaching the meeting point. Of course if they did not have to deal with fiends.
Fremy observed their hands tied. The mark of the heroes had been affixed to the right hand of adlet, while hers was on her left hand. It was as if their marks were made to fit together. Fremy looked up at his companion.
"- What would you have do if you had not been chosen as a hero? " she asked.
Adlet blinked in astonishment. In truth, he had never asked himself that question. He had always believed that he would become a hero.
"- Well ... I certainly would have followed you to protect you.
- Idiot. Humans can't survive on the island of the demons God. You would die faster than you would have had time to protect me.
- I'm not just a simple human; I am the strongest man in the world !"
He added with a smile:
"- And the strongest man in the world should protect the most beautiful woman in the world."
With that, Fremy smiled and stretched along Adlet's body to prepare for sleep.
"- You really are a fool, but I love you" she replied, closing her eyes.
Adlet smiled softly and wrapped his arm around Fremy.
"- I love you too."
Far away from here, a campfire was still burning in the night. Two figures stood in front of it. The first was easily recognizable; it was the princess Nashetania Loei Piena Augustra. It was her who has already won the big tournament of Piena once. In front of her sat a tall man in a dark armor and raven hair. On his right shoulder stood a hero's mark.
"- So were you able to carry out your investigation about the Brave's killer, Goldov ?"
Goldov was like his bodyguard, the most faithful possible. He replied calmly:
"- Right, Princess. I was able to find information about it, this is a white-haired woman who uses a firearm to fight.
- Do you know what her name is ?" Nashetania asked.
"- Yes, her name is Fremy."
Note : Just a little thing I was thinking at work :D If you like it I could continue this story, I have a lot of ideas for now.
