CHAPTER 11
Mission 11: Be A Hero
HYSTERICAL SCREAMS, NOISES, and sharp loud cries calling for "Help! " were heard from a distance.
They both moved their gazes to where it came from, though both of them were neither making a move. Grey's hands were up in the air while the girl in front of him were aiming the sword at his throat.
A smoke came dancing in that cold dim night, on top of those stores from the market.
"I'll deal with you later, " Amber utter as she put down the sword unwillingly.
Grey let out the breath he was holding on as Amber strode off towards the commotion.
She looks so drunk a while ago. He even worries she might not get home in her state. But as soon as she came back, he was caught off guard to see her seriously.
If there was no accident, he would be lying on that ground with his throat cut off. He could feel she can really do that.
This world is messed up.
If only he has a way to get out. If only he knows a way to get out.
Speaking of getting out. He needs yo get away from there. Amber might go back to where he is. He can't die in that weird stranger world. Not where he doesn't have a name known to people.
Just when he finally took one step away, someone grabbed him abruptly and pinned him to a wall brick on a dark alley nearby.
His fragile back almost cracked at what just happened.
"What the - - !"
He couldn't utter the whole sentence upon realizing who did that to him. He can't be wrong.
Those familiar strong and fiercely looking eyes were glaring at him. This woman is really sexy even if it is just eyes that were exposed.
In front of him, was the dragoness herself.
"You?" he uttered.
"I'm just here to confirm something," she said.
After that, a small glowing floating ball appeared from her back. He couldn't stop himself from looking at it. It was the same creature he followed a while ago. It was that pixie!
"So, you really can see her? " she mumbled.
She pinned him, particularly in his shoulder making him growl a little.
"What's your name? And where are you from?" she asked demandingly.
"I - - "
"Speak!" she said as she pushed his shoulder again.
"I was about to speak! " he defended.
"Now! I have no time," she demanded.
"The name is Grey. Grey Vinyard from the bountiful town of Aria, " he introduced himself, as the man Grey in this world.
He have to be careful. Extra more careful, for he doesn't know what fate is waiting for him when he exposed himself. He might die in that world. Not in this fantasy world.
A moment after, she released him. And faced the pixie.
"You really think this is the man? You think that this fragile useless man is what we've been looking for? " asked the dragoness to the pixie.
The pixie just moved her lip on one side.
The dragoness took a sigh. "This is just a waste of my time. I'm too tired."
She walked away and slowly yet quietly turned into a mighty dragon. She flew away without turning her back to where they are.
"Hi!" said a little voice.
He turned around to face the pixie who just talked.
"Whoa! So, you just can't see me. You even can hear me! Awesome! " she said excitedly.
He tried avoiding her but she just flew in front of him making him to stop.
"There's no sense in denying it. I know and I can see in your eyes, you were gifted. You definitely can see me." She giggled. "Your name is Grey, right? "
He looked back at her without his willingness.
"My name is Dandelion. She - - I mean we were just looking for the hero of the land. The summoned hero, " the pixie started, stressing the word "summoned". "I'm pretty sure it was you. I can feel it in my flutters."
He gulped secretly. A summoned hero? Is he really that hero? Is that why he was here? Is that why he was sucked in this fantasy world?
Why are they looking for him? Well, obviously, it was a way for them to kill him easily. He needs to be more careful. The captain is doubting him and even the villainess is looking for him.
"You are a pixie," he said, trying to change the topic.
"Obviously," Dandelion answered. "A small ball of light. A small creature with a pointed ears and wings. Cute. A perfect definition gor a pixie. I got them all. So, yeah. I'm pretty sure I am definitely a pixie. My flutters say I am, " she pointed herself.
"They said pixie are taboo."
Dandelion's face changed. Her grin started to show. "And we're actually a little bit mischievous at times. That's why we are banned at Enchantria. If only the Queen can return back to her own throne - - ahem! By the way, enough with the chit - chats. I think you need to help with the fire."
"Fire?"
"Well, I just started the fire," she giggled.
He held onto the sword on the ground and swayed it towards the pixie.
"Whoa!" she dodged. "You need to train a little more to get me."
"You're on the dragon's side. I need to take you down too."
"Why don't you just thank me? I made that fire to save you from that woman. I can see she really wants to kill you a while ago."
"What? Why would you help me?"
"Because you're cute? And you can talk to me. She never talked to me this long like you do. Let's say, I'll help you again in exchange of talking to me. Just call my name, Dandelion, and my flutters will be just one swift away to you."
She flew a little higher and waved. "See ya! "
He once again heard people screaming. He put his sword back to his waist and run towards the fire. He needs to prove that the captain was wrong about him.
As someone who is living in a fantasy world, he would side with the main characters and would never choose the villain's side. That is to have his good ending.
There really was a fire. People were coughing. And some were carrying pails of water to eliminate the fire.
At the entrance of that building, he saw Amber carrying an injured man towards the exit.
He looked up upon hearing a boy shouting for help. He was crying.
Maybe that will be a perfect time to prove his side. That he was not a traitor.
Summoned hero or not, he will be a hero for this time.
He took one pail of water from whoever man was near and bathe it on his body. Without hesitation, he run towards the entrance and met the heat of the fire.
He even met Amber's shocked eyes but didn't stop. He just keep on moving to where he heard the boy crying for help.
It was nice that he could finally use the seminar at school during "fire drills". He means the modern world. That is to use " Duck, Cover, Crawl ".
The fire is slowly devouring the whole building. And his way were full of angry fires like hell is already asking for his soul.
But there will a chance that he would not go to hell. Not if he rescue a boy from a fire. Because a hero will not go to hell.
