It hit us all so hard……..all of us felt the pain of loss from that moment………….it was the saddest day that could ever remember …………The day when the Mayor died. I just got back from my last adventure to find the templates from the book of life, when it happened; we realized he was missing when I couldn't find him to put the page in the book. Mari became very worried so we all went to look for him……Me and Jowee looked together, we looked high and low for the Mayor but had no luck. Suddenly out of the blue there was a scream of terror, like someone found something they shouldn't have, but Jowee and I knew who the voice belonged to, it belonged to Mari. We rushed over to where the scream was coming from and saw it. In front of us was an old Raposa lying face down in the dirt, he wasn't moving and he wasn't breathing, it was the Mayor who was attacked by Wilfre when I was away. We got the doctor over there to try and help him, but she couldn't do anything to save him…….he was dead before we found him. That day…..we lost someone…..someone we needed in our time of crisis……we lost a leader……a noble leader who gave it his all to protect his village and everyone in it……..we lost a leader, a father, and a good friend. The pain and sorrow I saw in Mari's eyes was just painful for me to even look at. She walked over to me and yelled

"Why, why weren't you there?! You could've stopped this, you could've saved him!" I could she was taking her anger out on me….but I just didn't know how to respond to it….Mari is one of my best friends….how could I respond?

"I'm so sorry….I…I didn't know….I…"

"What kind of hero are you?! You're useless Hiro!!" she ran off immediately after she said that. Those words pierced my soul deeper then any blade could…..I tried to think that it wasn't true but when I came down to it all, it really was my fault in way.

"Mari didn't mean that Hiro. She's just angry is all" Jowee said trying to cheer me up as he ran after Mari. No I think she had every right to be angry with me….I was useless…..I'm no hero…..I couldn't even save one life……so what good am I?
