We we're in class being taught by Merlin
This was 2 year's ago
"Arthur, you said you wanted to be a hero. Why is that?"
Arthur stood up
"I want to be like my father! He granted oeace to everyone!"
"I see. Now,then"
Arthur sat down
"Arthur, what is a hero?"
"A hero is a—what is a hero? Uhm ah ah"
Arthur couldn't answer
"Arthur, no need to think so hard. You are an observer. If you do not have your answer then observe research and create your answer. Fear not failure nor defeat for they are the obstacles your path has prepared for you as you and the others are walking down the path of greatness"
Arthur sat down. Unable to answer the question he started thinking "what is a hero?"
.
Arthur didn't talk to much and started to think more after that class
He started observing
Reading
And thinking
Think
Think
Think!
What is the answer!
What is a hero!?
Why do I want to be a hero?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why!
Arthur struggled with his search for his answer.
Sometimes he even skips meals and stays up all night just for that answer
.
Arthur after staying up countless nights and skipping meals has collapsed
He was in bed being taken care of by Aerin
Shouts from Aerin could be heard from Masters room
.
"Master! This is why you need to take care of yourself more!"
"Yes yes"
Aerin was scolding Arthur but Arthur wasn't listening but at the same time listening
.
As they hear Aerin's voice they thought
"Uwaah, scary. I should avoid angering her"
.
Reinhardt who was training was also worried about Arthur
"I hope Master is okay"
Aerin responds with "Dont worry, Master's already healing"
Harlequinn the said "Yeah, master sure is tough. But it seems that he questioned himself about what a hero is"
Harlequinn was resting on a spear. The spear was a spirit spear given to fairys at birth and the looks varie from fairy to fairy. Ranging from sword to wand.
.
"It just one of his path to greatness but, we are his subordinates, when our lord is in distress we should help him" said Karna
"Yeah...I can't bear to see him like this anymore" said Panda
"He looks like a manga character going through emotional development...which means" Said Cu
""""Which means?"""" They asked
Cu continued "It's time for us to enter the last panel of the recent volume and we'll probs hear his answer a year later and he'll most likely have found his answer if we help him out"
"I see" they all thought that
.
It was midnight
They snuck into Arthurs room
They stood besides Arthurs bed encircling him. They looked liked a cult was offering their sacrifice
They start whispering
"Master, be well dont worry us"
"Yeah, shes correct it scares us when we feel powerless when we can't help you"
The first ones we're Aerin, and Panda
Reinhardt pulled out a marblel the marble was an artifact that records voices. Merlin created it on a whim
Every single male in the room stood tall with their hands infront and holding their own hand and their heads down, they looked like agents
Reinhardt put the marble up
And something started playing from it
"Moby dick. Chapter 1.
'It is I, Marcus De Lek, I went on a journey to find myself. I first went to the harbor, looking out onto the sea, I saw the rising sun, it pained me to say but, I had to wear sunglasses' *gasp* 'hey shut up! It's my turn to do the monologue! Wait for your turn!'
'''Sorry'''
'The sun ray's we're too strong but, thanks to Neverra's New darker than black and clearer than clear, sunglasses, I could see the sun clearly. Sponsorred by Neverra.'
'You done?'
'Yeah, I'm done'
'Master, if you have any trouble just tell us okay?'
'Yes, just as you've helped us, we want to help you'
'Chapter two—'"
Arthur rose then took the marble out of reinhardts hand
"Let me stop you there. I like the though but it's midnight. I want to sleep"
Arthur snaps his fingers
"Chop chop! Get out! If anyone wanna join me in bed just go under the covers!"
"Okay!" They said
They left and Aerin and Delta joined the bed
.
1 year later
"Arthur, what is a hero?"
Arthur stood up
"A hero. They do not follow common thinking. They do not walk the path the common person walks down, they walk and create their own path that hold their belief. They will follow it and will suffer many victorys and many losses. Throughout their path many will follow them. And, a hero is not something defined as a fighter it is someone who becomes the becone of light for the masses engulfed in darkness. They can be someone's hero just by saving a small life. That is my answer. But, they are a hero because they can inspire others with their courage and bravery,"
"Hmmm, now that you've found your answer, will you still be a hero?"
Arthur smirks
"Ofcourse, I cannot ignore the cries of the abused. I cannot forgive the ones who abused them. I will create peace where the people who we're abused forgotten and taken for granted can be given a new sense of purpose. With the people here, lend me your strength, and I shall show you my conviction through result!"
Arthur asked for their help
But without knowing through the doings of Aerin
They we're all his subordinates wether he liked it or not
.
"Master, even if you didn't ask. We are already your friends and your subordinates. We we're already subordinates after you saved us"
"...?...Wha!?...t-this is the first Ive heard if that!"
"Well...lady Aer—"
Aerin puts her hand over harlequins mouth
"Aerin?" Arthur looked at her
"..." Aerin looked away sweating
