How can I not recognise my kin? When you are.."Hagrid paused before his eyes shone brightly at Adam as he muttered,
"The descendent of the 4th Hero..."
Adam's eyes widened as soon as the words ' 4th hero' reached his ears.
"4th hero..." he muttered.
Hagrid swept his brown eyes over the young man before him, preparing himself to give a long lecture about the 4th hero to this ignorant and foolish kin. He had a proud look on his face as well. But contrary to his speculation, all he saw were the words 'confusion' written on the young man's face.
"4th Hero? Who is that? Is this a joke?"
And those words confirmed his conjecture.
This boy was ignorant! A disgrace! He didn't even know his Ancestor! Blasphemy!
Hagrid's face hardened as those ignorant words infiltrated his large ears and knocked his eardrums through the waxy tunnel. Veins popped up on his forehead as he gnashed his teeth.
Grrrr!
Sounds of growling echoed through the room and all the giant wanted to do was pounce on Adam and give him a good beating! But seeing him completely nonchalant, and showing genuine signs of ignorance on his face, he decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Sigh!
Sighing profusely, Hagrid finally calmed himself down before reaching out his large fingers towards Adam's face. Seeing that the giant was moving his hand up to his forehead, Adam immediately tried covering his forehead, lest the giant smashed his head. But, all he got was a flick on his forehead. But even that was enough to push him back.
Flick!
"Ow!", Adam held his forehead with a face full of confusion as if someone had wronged him." What was that for?"
Hagrid swept his eyes scrutinizing him before he said in a serious voice.
"For ignorance boy...ignorance"
"Now listen boy. I don't know why you don't know about the 4th hero as even a newly born babe sucking on her mother's teat; who has no access to such information, knows about him. And I don't want to hear your reason as well. "
"I don't want to hear lies like...[I lost my memory] or [I was living under the rocks getting fucked by Demon worms all this time] or some crap like that."
"But knowing that you are one of his many descendants. It's my duty as your kin to answer your queries."
"However..", Hagrids stared at Adam." There's something I need...if I tell you about it"
'Ah, the price for knowledge. Here it comes '
Adam was shocked all this time after hearing the giant's reasoning and how he had already seen through his fake facade but as the question of his origin neared, he got scared.
Furthermore, this was the second person who questioned his origin after he came into this world. That woman and now this man. Both seemed to know something about him, this giant being the most familiar.
And just after the giant asked for the subsequent payment, Adam realised that there was a hidden agenda behind the giant's act of kindness. And for some reason, he wanted to say no. But, yet again, his thirst for knowledge as a scientist and his survival instinct overpowered him. However, he decided to test the murky waters first and discern how frank he could be with the giant. He knew he couldn't trust easily, but he at least wanted to try. He needed help to survive.
So, he went on with it.
"What do you want? You do know that I am a cripple right. I don't think my lower half is functional though. So, as long as it's not unreasonable, I'll be able to fulfil any request."
Adam believed that this joke would somewhat loosen the atmosphere which was made after he proved to be ignorant of the origins of the 4th hero and mend some familiarity with the giant. But contrary to what he thought, an impending sense of danger came near him.
Realising that he screwed up big time, Adam slowly moved his head towards the giant. And what he saw left him scared.
Hagrids torso was trembling profusely with anger. His face beat red and his eyes with filled with bloodlust. His lips were twitching uncontrollably.
And for some reason, Adam felt like covering his ears. So he did it.
And what followed was a howl capable of toppling mountains, if not clearing the forest he was in.
"YOU!...YOU!..."Hagrid pointed his finger at Adam in a faltering voice before as he slowly stood up. And then...
Hell broke loose.
"I AM NOT INTERESTED IN MEN! YOU F*CKER!I HOPE SOME GOBLINS GIVE YOU A DISGUSTING FELLATIO AND RAVAGE YOUR DYSFUNCTIONAL ASS WITH THEIR VIRIDESCENT BODY FLUIDS!"
Hagrid howled at the top of his lungs, roaring his frustration out of his body. Loud sounds of thumping echoed through the room as he banged his metallic boots on the floor, shaking up the entire structure of the sorry excuse of a shack. The loose snow fell around the dirty corners of the room. Birds and animals alike, fled the area instantaneously, far from the howls of the growling varmint; terrified of losing their life.
The room shook from the sheer strength of the giant as Hagrid stood up from the stool and went outside to the only living room. He broke anything that came before him. Be it his chair, or table, everything; banging and launching away his frustration.
He had enough of this mere snow elf! He was regretting saving such a vermin! And now all he wanted to do was strangle him!
But, alas. He couldn't. The Ancestor had strictly forbidden infighting among family members, much less a harmless Snow-Elf. Such was the intensity of his frustration.
However, the man who caused such a thing was completely oblivious to the frustration his saviour was going through as he even failed to ask for forgiveness from the giant which could kill him in a heartbeat. He even forgot to flee for his life when the howl and thumping started. The only question that remained inside his head was...
"Goblins have green cum? Ew!"
~~~~~
After a series of loud bangs which echoed outside the shack, Hagrid finally calmed down his head. Sweat dripped down his forehead, even in the bone-chilling winter, shining under the glistening sunlight.
Hah!
Hah!
Panting profusely, he cursed out loudly for one last time before waddling back to the shack. His long braided hair and beard swayed away gently. Closing the door, he opened up a drawer beside it, from which he took out a bottle of beer. Uncorking it, he took large swigs of the heavenly liquid.
Hah! Sigh!
"That hits the spot!", he muttered while gasping profusely.
Keeping the bottle of the fine, celestial liquid, he finally decided to face the bloody snow Elf kin of his! No matter how much he wanted to throw away that dimwitted fool, he had to see if he was worthy!
Shaking his head off his current dilemma, he finally walked towards the only door present in the room and opened it.
However, the elf was sitting still all this time, his eyes affixed on the door and as a result, Hagrid saw the look he was giving him.
A look filled with uncertainty and frustration. And seeing him scrunch up his brows, Hagrid finally found some satisfaction.
'Hehe! This pathetic Elf finally got afraid of me! Perhaps he will speak respectfully to me now!', Hagrid grinned.
He suffered a tremendous amount of humiliation from Adam. And considering his size, he knew he was scary; He was a Half-Giant after all. So what if he scared some weak elf? No one would say anything, right?
But deep down, he knew he was making a big fuss about such a small situation. The real thing was that...
He was lonely.
He lived alone, away from any interaction all this time. His family hated him. His children died and...he was exiled.
He might not show it on his face, but he was needy, desperate perhaps; for interaction. So subconsciously, he released it in such a way, no matter how foolish or baseless it seemed.
Hagrid walked back to the stool beside the makeshift bed, making Adam flinch.
Hagrids grin widened the more he saw Adam getting scared. Controlling his facial muscles, he said.
" I shall tell you this just one time, so listen carefully".Hagrid paused before continuing, "But first, let me clarify."
"One, I am not gay and I am not into men."
"Two, there is a 'thing' I want and not something like your body for manual labour or sexual favours. Pah! Even a bar wench won't sleep with you!", Hagrid groaned banging his boots on the wooden floor.
" And now comes the main part, but before that. Tell me about yourself. Your name?Age?Clan?Anything."
"Because what I am about to tell you is a secret we watchers protect from leaking as it's of concern to the well-being of the descendants of the 4th hero and it's not something a mere elf can learn. So I need some assurance that you at least are genuine because it's true that you are a descendant as I have already tested your blood while you were asleep. But I need some confirmation.".And suddenly Hagrids narrowed his eyes at Adam."For all I know, you can also be some demon controlling and possessing this body."
"So out with it.", Hagrid declared before leaning back at the nonexistent wall.
Adam baulked as soon as Hagrid narrowed his eyes at him and the questions started pouring out of his mouth. His mind churned up, possibly making up ways to avoid this inquiry.
'I need to form a better story..' he mused.
Sighing, Adam closed his eyes before opening them. Taking a deep breath, he faced Hagrids interrogating gaze and said calmly.
" Alright."
