The Fate of the First Hero of Light

"OUT OF MY WAY KNIGHT! THE BEAST DIES NOW!"

"CAN YOU NOT SEE, IT IS A LITTLE CHILD? WE SHOULD HELP HER! DID YOU NOT HEAR? SHE WAS CURSED!"

"IT WILL SAY ANYTHING TO SAVE IT SELF!"

I feel embers forming around me and smell sulphur, a fire spell!

I have had enough, I completely let out all my killing intent.

The Fire Mage cannot finish the spell.

He is on his knee, breathing heavily undoubtedly the massive amount dark energies bubbling out of me.

The Knight automatically attacks.

I hit him with a mid-swing from my blade so hard, even fully armored, he flies back 6 paces.

"I am saving the world from these beasts!"

I lie and tell them,"10 suncycles have passed since you disappeared. I had been waging war with other Tribes. When finally they were eradicated. Could I find time and this place. The creatures are causing great misfortune."

"10 SUNCYCLES?!" the Knight is shocked at this "revelation".

"BE QUIET IDIOT! You have no place to go to. The kingdom has been split. You do not have a home anymore. Zelda does not have a kingdom to rule. If you die here, you will not be missed or mourned."

"Knight and Fire Mage you will stay here. While Zelda dissects this "child". You can also choose death."

"GEIR THIS I CANNO..."

The entire room is frozen.

The Fire Mage is restrained, he will not be able to cast or move, for long times

I am going to hit the Knight diagonally and when he falls. I am going to decapitate him!

I strike him.

He blocked holding his sword in front of him. He flies through the wall.

DAMMIT IT ALL!

The beast runs through the hole.

"SAVE ME PLEASE!"

I am moving to kill it, Zelda steps in front of me extending her arms to stop me.

I kick her in the chest, she flies and breaks the frozen wall.

Falling on the other side of the next room.

I could have never imagined, this new power of mine could lead to such a catastrophe.

I will have to kill my comrades!

When I extracted the hatred out of them to use to power my Dwarven Runes. As if a mist disappeared in the sun. The sufferings they had endured, had no meaning what so ever anymore.

As I was breaking the creatures I noticed it first.

Zelda asked if it was necessary to be so brutal!?

They had been playing and torturing her only moments ago, now she felt compassion for them.

When we met the "queen" she had taken the form of a little child.

Immediately I went for the kill.

I was struck on the side and had to block, it was from the KNIGHT!

The creature started screaming nonsense again.

Racing to kill it. I was grabbed by the waist, it was Zelda pleading we could remove the "curse".

I am sorry my comrades, I will have to kill you all.

These creatures will realize there is a way to exit the World Serpent now.

That must be stopped at all costs!

There is immense pressure on my shoulder...

I am an excellent swordsman but my skills pales in comparison to the Knights.

He will not give me a moments chance to use my magics.

"KNIGHT MOVE!"

"YOU MUST BE A TWISTED ILLUISION OF THIS CURSED PLACE!"

The creature is at the end of the hall.

As long as it dies, then the quest is a success.

When the Knight pulls his blade back to strike again. I am going to use that moment, to throw my sword and kill it. I will die afterwards but that is the risks we take on our quests.

The Knight aims for an overhead strike.

I throw my blade, it flies straight.

The beast dodges but not before the left side of its head is destroyed.

It still moves!

The blade is almost on my head!

The Knights shard like pieces of his broken sword is in my hand.

All the runes have been emptied in my left arm.

The unknown powers of Great Father Houzmas Grimmaker has saved my life.

The Knight is looking in bewilderment at the hilt of his shattered sword.

He is encased in crystal, I did not kill him.

I fetch Zelda and explain if she refuses the Knight will die.

She is now totally obedient. I fetch the beast and break each and every wall in my way.

We are outside in the sun, I throw the child on the sand.

The true form is revealed, an unholy combination of insect like and humanoid parts.

There is a long translucent sack with eggs in it.

I hit Zelda through the face.

I produce ice scalpels, I tell her to begin.

Her eyes are dead like when I found her before.

The beast changes shape many times.

Young women, small children and any pathetic creature you would feel pity for.

The only constant.

The wounds staying fixed where they are in the air. It can only change the vision but not the form.

I have given Zelda my notepad.

When she slows down I beat her. "Zelda, the world is worth more than your little life. You will comply."

"Ge..."

"BE QUIET AND COMPLETE YOUR TASK!"

The autopsy is complete.

The various parts are scattered on the sand. I commanded Zelda to produce three copies of her notes. I would keep one. She would have one and the Knight also. I demanded she seek out my Grandmother and give her this information.

I lead them to the ice mountain. I will hunt the rest down.

What feels like many days had passed.

I had killed most in the surrounding area. Destroyed the villages and temples.

I was walking back and touched the mirror.

The cold air is blowing into the cave. I take the path downwards.

There is a letter in a wooden box it is from Zelda. I do not have time for her bickering.

I arrive at the Dwarven Realm.

How many suncycles has it been?

Time might have moved differently decades could have passed, while inside the World Serpent.

I see a very elderly but still muscular Dwarf.

"Uncle Thandall is that you?!"

"Geir son, what are you saying. I am Moldrog."

"How many suncycles has it been since I have been gone?"

"Only 12 days Geir son."

"WHAT!"

"No, need to shout young one. The little lady is very worried go to her. She is at your home near the hostels."

"VIVI!"

"GEIR!"

I am in a ball on the floor. The Dark Elf kicked me between the legs!

"uguhu...ugh..Vivi...why..?"

"I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT YOU THIS WHOLE TIME! WHY DID YOU NOT SPEAK TO ME?"

I forgot! What lie, will make me suffer less? After beating me blue.

Finally her naked blue skin touched mine.

After recovering for many days. Her lust had been finally satiated. Could I finally attend to matters again.

"Geir what happened? Zelda, Sir... and Sir... did not even speak to me? I was handed some medical diagrams and papers. They departed immediately. They did not even look at me?"

I explain the situation.

The Dark Elf's face is purple with rage and her veins are pumping. In this hopeless situation, who should she be angry at the most?

"Geir, we are leaving now!"

We are at my Grandmothers estate.

Will my beautiful wife's blue face ever return?

The purple rage filled with veins have not retracted for even one moment.

The door opens my Grandmother throws to punch me in the face.

I can see she is furious.

I catch her hand and with force push it so hard she kneels slightly.

"I do not have time for play today!"

"Geir..."

"WHERE IS ZELDA!" screams the Dark Elf.

My Grandmother guides us through the streets. There was a massive celebration not to long ago. There are dried up flowers still in the streets, cut up strips of papers used at functions everywhere. White doves are still sitting on buildings, their owners definitely still looking for them. Banners and sign still hang on the walls and on the streets light's poles.

As I am infamous, people wanted to stare.

I meet their eyes with my murderous rage. Woman run, men collapse and children cry.

My rage is complete the guards have abandoned their posts. I move to push the doors open to the throne room, I will push them free of their hinges.

"Why am I angry?" I think to myself.

My comrades had attacked me at times before. We had faced powerful mages or alchemists who controlled magics or medicines that clouded the mind. Why was I angry?

"Grandmother feel my magics."

"Yes, Geir." she touches me.

"Your rage is not because of being controlled by your arm, your ice magics are also balanced."

"I see..."

I open the door slowly.

"Arrest that man!"

The guards move to restrain me, when they see my eyes, they collapse. The fear they have for me too much.

"So we meet again! All three cowards in one room!"

"GET OUT!"

"Zelda you will reverse my banishment."

"I WILL DO NO SUCH THING!"

"Here read this." I throw her with a piece of parchment.

"WHY WOULD I TAKE ANYTHING FROM YOU?"

"It chronologizes your cowardice, how you attempted to obstruct me in fulfilling my duty to protect the nations people. My memories have been recorded, certified by the head mage of the mages guild, co-signed by the leading Researchers in the Dwarven Realm certifying the validity of the recordings. Tomorrow this is being distributed to the news outlets owned by both the Tulok Tribe and the Taduc union. I risked my life for fools like you. I will not spend one more moment being inconvenienced."

I leave the throne room.

The information was published.

The Queen, Knight and Fire Mage still regarded highly had, had their names tarnished.

When it was revealed they had protected the enemy.

Also when it was revealed, what the enemy was. The seriousness the danger the beasts posed to the nations people.

I had published an open letter, declaring I would legally be fighting for an overturning on my banishment.

Also, if it would not be successful. I would be disclosing the events leading up till my banishment.

I never saw Zelda, Fire Mage and Knight ever again...

Until I was called in for negotiations two days later.

My wife was talking with the Knight and Fire Mage again. Her rage was directing at them for ignore her. She was not concerned at my plight.

She beat the Knight and Fire Mage quite severely, but the blue faced Knight and Fire Mage are talking happily with her.

Except when I enter, they stand ready for combat.

I will definitely kill them this time if we were to fight.

My anger is complete.

"Yes, Grandmother?"

"Geir I..."

"Do not be concerned Grandmother. You also believed me guilty before even speaking to me. I had hoped you to not be like this. But I see where my father's pettiness comes from. You are like my parents to me now. Goodbye Grandmother."

Tears starting falling from her face.

"Geir I..."

"What is done is done." I walk away.

This quest has taken more from me than any other one prior.

Still the world was saved, that is what is most important.

I have our Tribes best legal advisors representing me. I only went to be present on the first day. From here on out, they will represent me.

All charges have been retracted against me.

I wanted to release the events leading up to my banishment out of spite.

My legal team knew I might attempt something, so I was warned about the legal and financial ramifications and decided against it.

My heart is now as cold as my strongest ice.

Finish.
