The Fate of the First Hero of Light

I finally reach the tri border between the western kingdom who attacked us and the countries surrounding it. Zelda's people are behind me bound to a long chain. These people come from one of the small villages close to the western kingdom. Many of them died due to disease and neglect. The ones left are very weak.

I see Aunt Hurmihilda.

"Aunt Hurmihilda are you well?" "YES, GEIR I AM!" She is still scared of me, serves her right. The Dwarven Realm was almost destroyed, yet she did nothing. Her wounds seem mostly healed. She fought back while I was beating her. I was so enraged by this, I almost killed her.

"Here are the villagers of Bygone Village." I understand Geir please lead them there to the tent." There is a pole I tie the chain against it. "Why won't you free us?" "Great Mother I am heading back to find the rest. Have they prepared a list?" "Geir here it is." "Cross out all the people. That you know are here, safe or dead. I show the list and go around the villagers. "No one then?" "Why wont you unchain us?" "BE QUIET!" "YES!" The Dwarfs want to run. I glare at them. They quickly return to work. "I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, LOOK AT THIS LIST!" "YES!"

As if by magic everyone remembers someone. "Great Mother I am leaving." "At long last now we can be safe. " "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" "HAVE A SAFE TRIP GREAT FATHER GEIR!" "YOU HAD BETTER HOPE SO!"

"I don't want to sell her." "You do not have a choice. Here is a payment from the Kingdom. We cannot just be freeing slaves without compensation." "This is only one rupee!" "Is there a problem?" "OF COURSE THERE IS I WI.." The old man's broken face, is against the wall I smashed it into, he is dead.

"What is your name?" A crying little girl "Neia." "Neia get your chains we are leaving." "He was so kind to me." "SHUT UP! GET YOUR CHAIN WE ARE LEAVING!" "YES."

I step outside the shanty town. This countries authorities are outside. They want to speak, I let out my bloodlust. They fall on the floor screaming at me not to come closer. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?""NOTHING!""GOOD GET LOST!" They scurry off. There are many people chained together. I add her chain to the others.

I show her the list "Have you seen any of these people. Do you know what happened to them?" "These ones were sent to fight." I feel pressure on my forehead and something is pulsing.

A magnificent mansion with an expansive gardens. I smell blood. I called for my party. The Knight will rescue the rest of his country men in this land by force. He brought the people of my Tribe, who are now his subordinates. He sent them to infiltrate the land stealthily. They will identify where his countries people are being held. "Fire Mage wait outside. I will send the slaves of our country outside." "What of the other slaves?" "They are not our concern." "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

"Slavery is not illegal here. It does not matter how we feel about it. These are their laws."

"GEIR WE CANNOT DO NOTHING!"

"Choose, should I murder everyone inside there? Then we can free all the slaves." "Geir is there no..."

"Every slave I have freed. I bought back."

"You only gave them a single rupee?"

"That is the only amount, I was willing to give them. That they did not save our people is grounds for war. I am being generous. Do you not think so?"

"I understand. What would you do when they refused?"

"I kill without hesitation."

"Geir that does not make sense. Why pay then in the first place?"

"It is to show that if they do not accept our countries generosity, there will be repercussions."

"Is there really no way to free the other slaves?"

"Fire Mage not every slave is being abused. Some work as servants. They have a roof and food to eat. If we free them they have nothing and will have to live in poverty."

"If that is true then why save our..." I have never glared at the Fire Mage like this.

"I UNDERSTAND GEIR A BRILLIANT PLAN AS ALWAYS!"

"It better be! Follow me."

Inside the mansion...

There are many fat men and beautiful women. They are dressed in fine clothes. There is a large gymnasium floor. They are seated in rows above the floor like in an opera house. The sounds of the screaming and roaring crowd fills the hall. I have not even looked, I know what is going on there. A small thin boy he has been beaten badly. A large man lifts an object he will kill him soon. The sides of the gymnasium are littered with dead bodies.

I snap.

The whole room is filled with dark energy. The Fire Mage next to me is on his hands and knees. The evil energy bubbling out of me choking him. I have ripped the man to shreds. I removed a lung. He is totally white from blood loss, he looks like he is going to pass out. I use my crystal magic to fill in the missing parts. The crystals power healing him to extend his sufferings.

I thought they would have the slaves fight each other. But seems like they are even more demented. They like killing them with their own hands. They have large rocks which they throw on the weakened slave to break bones and to finally kill them. Most of the dead are children.

My mind is racing what should I do? How can I hurt or kill them? As if I was a great inventor and I was laying in a tub full of water naked and discovered a great discovery. I want to run outside naked and tell everyone of this insight. I will use my...

ICE MAGICS!

Where the roof was, I installed a giant lens. They are wailing so loudly. I had to put some cotton into my ears. The Fire Mage left to join the other party members, the scene being too brutal for him to bare. Each noble encased in my crystal magics to keep them alive. While the lens I place in front of them is slowly cooking their bodies from the feet upwards. Even the countries KING is here! His son will be very glad, he is going to be the next ruler very soon!

The Knight enters the hall.

"GEIR WHAT IS THIS?!" I signal to the broken bodies in the corner.

"I SEE, GEIR CAN I STAY HERE!"

"Yes, Knight but why?"

"I WANT TO SEE THE PEOPLE WHO RAPED OUR COUNTRY SUFFER."

"You finally grew up?"

"THINKING YOU CAN TOY WITH OUR PEOPLE'S LIVES AND DIGNITY. NOT EXPECTING OUR RETRIBUTION. IS SOMETHING ONLY A FOOL WOULD BELIEVE!"

"Look even the King is there!"

Short moments later...

"GEIR I AM SORRY I DID NOT MEAN TO KILL HIM SO QUICKLY!"

I stare at the completely mangled and destroyed body of the King. "Knight you cannot control everything. He was just an extremely fragile man, even when holding back as you much as you did, the unfortunate can still happen."

"BAHAHAHAHA!" the Knight is laughing. "HOW LONG STILL GEIR?!"

"Two days more then my rage would have subsided enough."

"I SEE GEIR. WE MUST MAKE HASTE SOON! THE OTHER KINGDOM MUST ALSO BE PUNISHED!"

"You will not get away..." says a doomed noble.

His head was crushed like a rotten fruit inside the Knights gauntlet.

"I see I was being too merciful. Sing louder for me."

The lenses burns all of their skin at the same time.

Two days later...

"Thank you for your performance. Disrespect us again then I will send Esdeath to come play with you."

"ESDEATH? GEIR WHO IS THAT?"

"Knight it is my Grandmother."

"HER LADYSHIP!"

"Did you not know it is her given name. It was carved on the statue."

"I DID NOT SEE! I WILL APOLOGISE TO HER LADYSHIP!"

"Why Knight?"

"I NEVER ASKED HER LADYSHIP WHICH NAME SHE WOULD PREFER TO BE CALLED UPON."

"I see."

"Nobles I bid thee farewell. Stand up to our nation again and you will suffer a hundred fold more." I condescendingly greet the degenerates.

"SCOUNDRELS!" The Knight greets them farewell.

The twisting husks of the burnt nobles are painfully rolling about. I extended their lives with my crystal magics, healing their internal wounds. They can suffer for many suncycles. Zelda's people have been avenged in this country.

"Knight let us move to the next country. It seems we will have to battle them."

"I UNDERSTAND."

At the border...

"GIVE US OUR PEOPLE!"

There is total silence.

"GIVE US OUR PEOPLE!"

Silence again.

"GIVE US OUR PEOPLE!

The Countries soldiers are standing absolutely still. Their formations are immaculate.

I have a new parka on, my Grandmother and the Dark Elf also have brand new white parkas. The Knight is wearing the same armor the King wore in the Great War. His sword Rust Bane is hanging on his belt ready to be drawn. The Fire Mage has an all new dress. Zelda is wearing a foot soldiers armor, she has her staff strapped to her back and is wielding twin daggers. Those godawful hands are rapidly chewing.

"PREPARE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY."

"Knight!"

"YES, GEIR!" I am picked up and he casts me like a ball.

"ATTACK!" shouts Zelda.

I am wielding Hout Plank again. The wooden blade is so sharp if an enemy is behind his comrade I can kill them both. The sword slicing through metal and leather effortlessly. I have killed all the cavalry. What are the others doing?

In the distance. Zelda lifts her right hand upwards to face level. Her hand is closed, only extending her index and middle finger. She screams...

"KATSU!"

Her hand's snot clay detonates close to the enemies. There is a bright flash, the shock waves from the explosion can be seen, my ears are ringing. The bodies of the soldiers fly in the air and are cast for many distances. I see many clay figures move, birds and small humanoids. Zelda has completely mastered her hand clay. She can form small golems and large birds. Her boundless energies being tapped. She might be the most dangerous one, out of us all.

"KATSU!" a hundred men die. My Grandmother and Zelda are fighting together.

Zelda has to rest between explosions. My Grandmother carries her on her back till she has recovered. My Grandmother moves so fast, she produces each and every possible weapon you can imagine out of her magical rune. Slicing the enemies into large pieces, decapitating them and cutting off their limbs. She is throwing weapons in the distance they pierce an enemy he is not dead. She moves with speed. Pulling the weapon out of its "scabbard". Killing the enemies surrounding the severely injured soldier. She keeps on repeating the strategy.

Zelda signals my Grandmother stops. Zelda lifts both her hands up chest level up. Both her palms are facing downwards. The snot clay is pouring out. I stop watching.

"FIRAGA!" the Fire Mage casts. It is level three fire spell.

A massive fire tornado. It misses the enemy completely?

The Dark Elf weaves hand signs "Water Style Water Spout Jutsu!" Water shoots out of the ground and flies into the fire tornado putting it out. A thick fog is formed. Did they do it to confuse the enemy?

"FIRA!" the Fire Mage casts. A level one fire spell.

The fog starts to turn. The rising fog is forming dark heavy clouds. I sense the turning clouds are pulling water from far in the sky. The battlefield is dark the clouds blocking out the sun's light. There is thunder rumbling.

The Knight moves to the center of the battlefield.

"Crystal Style Rainbow Armor Jutsu!"

The Knight is encased in crystal.

"ARMOUR OF CERBERUS!"

Flames engulf the crystal armour. The Knight lifts his sword. Instantly the lighting strikes the sword. The lighting sparks are running around Rust Bane. He strikes the first enemy, he is vaporized. The lighting moves through the enemies armor and strikes three behind him they are dead! The Knight moves with speed, for each enemy the blade kills, three die from the lighting shooting from the dead soldier's metal armour.

I have to focus. I have my honour on the line here. If they kill more than me, I will never be able to enter the afterlife. I run and jump on an enemy. I am picked up and thrown on the back of the ice dragon I made. The enemy is desperately trying to flee. I will not let them escape. My ice dragon shoots out my crystal magic's pink shards. They fly towards the enemy, the soldiers are torn to shreds.

I fly higher there are two earth dragons and four fire dragons in the distance! My ice dragon might melt. Just to be sure I encase it in a crystal armour. I look to my party they stopped fighting! They must be exhausted! I cannot fail them!

The ice dragon is making passes over the enemy. Each time I pass over, I let my crystal magic's shards fly out of the dragons mouth. The enemies are sliced into large chunks. When my ice dragon flies higher to make another attack. I cast large chunks of ice on to the enemy. They hit the ground, a sound like a thunderbolt is heard. The enemies are broken so badly, the ice starts sliding on the liquefied corpses of the enemies.

My comrades are standing still. They are not fighting they must be INJURED!

I will have to attack the dragons. My ice dragon killed the last fire dragon. I had to make the crystal armor even thicker to just be sure. I found that I could use the runes powers of my arm, to make it shoot real fire. The black flames burn organic matter. The suits of armor and weapons are still intact after the enemies have been incinerated.

"Geir stop come to us." Vivi calls me through our soul bond.

They must have finished the battle, here there are only dead people. The battlefield is totally abandoned weapons are laying everywhere.

"WHAT IS WRONG? WERE YOU INJURED? SUDDENLY YOU JUST STOPPED FIGHTING!"

"Geir what is that?" "Grandmother it is the ice dragon I made." My Grandmother falls over. "GRANDMOTHER!"

"GEIR!?"

"ZELDA ARE YOU HURT?"

"What is that?" "It is the ice dragon I made." Zelda falls. "ZELDA WHAT IS WRONG!?"

"Geir what is that?" "Fire Mage it is the ice dragon I made." "The Fire Mage falls over. "FIRE MAGE COMPOSE YOURSELF!"

"GEIR WHAT IS THAT?" "Knight it is the ice dragon I made."

I turn around there is a large crystal like beast. It looks like a dragon I once saw in a book. Did I make this? "I MADE AN ICE DRAGON!"

My vision fades...

"Where am I, did we win?"

"Geir yes, we won the slaves are being brought. Quick break the dragon before they see it." I think in my head. I hear loud cracks and pops.

"Help me up Vivi." "Yes, Geir." I feel lightheaded. I look to my left there is a large heap of broken crystal and pile of ice shards.

"What happened?"

"After you made the dragon. The soldiers soiled themselves and started running." "But I saw you were incapacitated you could not fight anymore!" "Geir you cannot fight an enemy that is not there anymore."

My Grandmother is shedding tears "Geir you have surpassed me. I could not even dream of making my own ice dragon! Least of all, one that can fly!"

"Here are the slaves, let us leave.

"PLEASE ICE GOD FORGIVE US!" says a scared Soldier.

"Ice god?"

"YES, DO NOT CALL YOUR ICE DRAGON. WE WILL NOT RESIST!"

"That sounds reasonable."

"Geir what is next?"

"Fire Mage now we have to use the sultan, as our shield against reprisals."

"WHAT?!"

Finish.
