This is my first story so please do take it easy on me
A Tragic Start
It hurts… I'm dying, I feel so weak I can't move.
"Oh god!" My eyes turn towards the voice, it's a police officer, a woman.
"Hey, stay with me!" The officer yells pressing cloth over my wound, that hurts
"I found a family of three shot, one of them is still alive, hurry!" She yells on the radio.
Wait, one is alive? I turn my eye towards my parents, they're… gone? I'm about to join them too… It's getting dark, I can't keep my eyes open.
"Stay awake! Don't close your eyes!" The officer yells
I'm sorry officer, I can't, at least you tried…
The following day the news would report about a young man named Misato Morgan and his parents who were murdered by a few robbers.
"My body feels cold, I only see darkness, is this what death is like? It's so empty… I don't know how long I have been like this." He thinks to himself
Suddenly streams of golden light appear from behind me, what's going on? It feels warm…
Then the young man finds himself falling onto a metal floor on his back
THUNK
"Ow…What" he says looking at an old stone ceiling
"Welcome," A girl says
Misato turns his head towards the voice, seeing a young girl probably about ten years old wearing a red and white dress, with red eyes, and silver hair with thin streaks of light blue strands, her hair is short, and she has three tufts of hair standing straight up and beautiful wings on her back. Something about her seems familiar but he can't recall, as his mind was focused on more pressing matters.
"Hero, you have been summoned because I need your help- Have you seen my parents?!" Misato yells interrupting the girl
He stands up "They are about this tall, and my dad has brown hair and hazel eyes like mine and my mom has black hair like mine. Have you seen them?" He asks the girl.
She shakes her head "I am sorry, hero, but you are the only one who appeared…"
Misato looks around, it's just an empty stone room and some stairs that go outside, it's just him and her. Suddenly he feels cold. "C-can you please p-pinch my arm?" He asks, raising his left arm towards her. She pinches the arm, he feels pain. Oh god, this is real… The young man falls to his knees.
"No… I died... Died to some robbers that thought we were rich! I'm the only one who's alive, in some random place. I'm alone, even if I come back home, no one else will be there! Mom and dad won't be able to hold me, I won't ever feel their warm hugs ever again! I'm alone" Tears begin to well up in his eyes
The girl hugs Misato "Sh… It's okay, you're not alone" She whispers in his ear, her hand rubbing the top of his head. "I'm right here, let it all out"
Tears began to stream down his face, the man hugs the girl back and continues to cry.
Misato didn't know how long he cried for, but it felt like hours for the young man.
"Are you feeling better?" The girl asks, looking at the young man with concern
He wipes the tears off his face "Ya, sorry for freaking like that…" Misato lets go of her
"It's alright," she says rubbing his head, do I know her name?
"Um, my n-name is Misato Morgan, what's yours?" He asks, his hazel-colored eyes staring at her red ones
"Fitoria"
"Nice to meet you," he says, doing his best to smile. Wait, she says her name is Fitoria, the only time he heard of that name is when he watched an anime…
"Are you the Queen of the filolials?"
"Yes" She tilts her head, ok that's cute, "How did you know?"
That confirms it, Misato somehow got Isekai ed into Rising of the Shield Hero, what the hell? Oh, right she's still waiting for an answer. "I know because I came from a world and know a story similar to this world" She looks at the young man with a blank face
"W-Well not that you're fictional, everything you experience is real," Misato says trying to reassure her existence, Fitoria's past is tragic it would be rude to say that it was fake, she spent time alone as she outlives her master and her friends, she barely remembers them… She outlives the person that raised her, just as he just did.
He needs to change the subject, "Fitoria, what was it that you were going to ask of me?"
She nods "I need your help to save this world and its inhabitants"
"Ok" Misato complies, standing up "Let's begin"
"Yes," Fitoria nods. "Let's go," she says walking towards the stairs, Misato follows her, taking each step towards the new world.
