Firuza P.O.V.
I was sleeping in my room when....
BOOOMMM!
Huh! I woke up and looked around.
BOOOMMM!
An explosion! I turned aside the blanket and wore my clothes. Huh? It stopped.... how?
Firuza " Usman!" I said realising it with my eyes widening.
I opened the window and....
Cling! Clang!
I saw two blurs meeting in the sky. He must be fighting the culprit. Soon, I saw them stopped and other one vanished. Then, Usman was flying towards us....
BOOOMMM!
Firuza " DEAR LORD! WHAT IS THAT?!!"
I saw a giant snake like creature causing destruction. Usman turned and went towards IT! I run towards the door. He already fought an enemy.
I have to help him. As I came out of the tavern.
BHOOF!
I heard a sound like a bonfire was lit up.
Firuza " He is using hell blaze...."
I ran towards the source of the sound. I saw people running behind me but I kept going. Then, I saw him landing.
Gasp!
His arm was bleeding.
Firuza ' NO!'
I ran towards him with tears flowing from my eyes.
Usman " Firuza..."
I didn't respond and started healing him. When he was healed.
Usman " It's alright. I am healed, now."
Firuza " ...no... it's not..."
Usman" Huh?"
He was looking at me confused.
Firuza " ...I am...weak..."
Usman " What are you saying?"
It's true.
Firuza " Because....I can't help you... against such... enemies..."
Sniff! I was crying with a possible running nose.sniff!
Usman " Haaah."
He projected a handkerchief and wiped my eyes and....nose too.
Firuza " What...are you doing?"
Usman " Wiping your eyes and nose. A beautiful lady like you does not look good like this."
Lub! Dub! I am.... beautiful...he thinks...I am beautiful! After wiping my eyes, he dissolved the handkerchief. Then, Mayor arrived.
Mayor " Guardian! What happened?!"
Usman " A devil attacked the city with a remorhaz. He was a servant of evil God."
Mayor" WHAT?!"
Firuza"Dear Lord! Was it because of our interference in the siege?"
Usman" Yes."
Mayor" Haah! Then, we are glad that you came here. Otherwise..."
Firuza" Pardon me but Usman is exhausted after the battle."
Mayor" Yes. You are right. Guardian, please rest."
Usman" Sure."
After that we went to tavern, had breakfast. Then, we went to our rooms. When, I went in. I locked the door and removed my clothes.
I laid on the bed, recalling how he praised me. My left hand went to my big breasts and my right hand went to my pussy. I started rubbing it.
I want to be touched by your hand...I want something else also. I was now fingering my pussy. I bit the bedsheet and moved my hands faster.
After few minutes, I came. Again. I looked at my wet hands with my cum. I can't stopped my self anymore. I loved him. But I can't get engaged with him before Peppi.
But I will not hide my feelings anymore.... I slept thinking....
.......

After laying on the bed.
Usman " Luminous."

Usman P.O.V.
Next day, we went to the mayor's office. He was kind of drowning in the paperwork.
Mayor " Ah! Guardian. How may I help you?"
Usman " I want to renew my paperwork."
Mayor " Sure. Let me get the paper."
Usman" I want a status update."
Mayor" Hmm, you had some great battles."
After my status....
Firuza" DEAR LORD!!!"
Mayor " THIS IS UNHEARD!!! EVEN IN SOUTH!! ONLY DWARVES HAVE SUCH LEVELS BEFORE!"
Firuza" Really?!!"
Usman" This is considered average rank in the Dwarven Republic."
Firuza" Republic?!"
Mayor" Yeah. They are...."
BANG!
Door opened and a guard entered panting.
Mayor " WHAT IS IT?! ARE WE UNDER ATTACK?!!"
Guard " Sir! During the reconnaissance, an injured dwarf is found."
Mayor" What?!"
Guard" He seems to be a warrior class."
Firuza" I can help!"
Mayor" Sure. Guardian, your paperwork..."
Usman " It's alright."
....
Firuza P.O.V.
It was my first time seeing a dwarf. He was Small in stature but was muscular. He was wearing some rags with slash marks on his body.
I used my spells and he woke up.
Firuza" Don't move. You are still weak."
He tried to stand up but he fell down. I went to him and he was unconscious. He needs food.
Mayor " What's wrong?"
Usman " He seems to be exhausted."
Firuza" He needs rest."
Mayor" All right. Guards take him to tavern."
.....
Usman P.O.V.
Next day, we went to see the dwarf. Mayor was with us. He opened the door and we entered. The dwarf had black hair and a wide black beard.
???" Ahh!"
He woke up growling.
Mayor " You are finally awake Mr...."
???" My name is Kind Keep. I am a warrior, who was sent to catch a bastard who stole the family heirloom of our mayor."
Usman" What happened?!"
Keep" We lost...I am the only one who is alive. We were ambushed by demons."
He tightened his grip on the sheet.
Mayor" Well, you are lucky that you were found by my men. Now, you can return and report."
Keep" True but....I will never forgive myself.... for the failure."
Firuza" But you are alive...."
Keep" But my pride and honour is already shredded into pieces...."
She was about to say something but I stopped her by putting a hand on shoulder. She looked at me. I shook my head. She sighed.
Mayor " What was the heirloom?"
Keep " A Dwarven plate."
Usman ' Luminous?!'
Luminous ' Consider it a puzzle piece of his game.'
Haah. I looked towards him and took a sac from my Mini bag.
Firuza " What are you doing?"
She was confused. Now everyone was looking towards me. I put the hand inside and took out the Dwarven plate one part at a time.
Keep " ...IT CAN'T BE?!!"
Mayor " This is a Dwarven plate!"
Firuza" What?!"
Keep" THIS IS NOT ANY PLATE!!! THIS IS WHAT I WAS FINDING!!"
Usman" I had a battle with 2 demons before in Reme Serine. One of them had it. So, I took it as a souvenir."
Keep" YOU?! WHAT?!"
Mayor" I know you are surprised but that's how great OUR Guardian is?"
Keep" Guardian?"
Then, he gave a brief description of my exploits and even showed my new status.
Keep " Remarkable! South is surely blessed to have you, boy."
Mayor" That we are."
Keep" But you have potential. You can grew stronger than any other magic warrior. So, I have a request for you."
Usman" What request?"
Firuza" I think I know..."
Keep" Escort me back to my town and you will be rewarded for giving back the plate too..."
Usman" I accept but I will only take rewards for escorting you."
Keep" Aren't you a mercenary, lad?"
Usman" I am but it was not mine. Besides I was thinking about going to Dwarven Republic. I heard many stories."
Firuza" Let me guess, about their taverns."
Usman " Yeah."
I nodded with a smile.
Firuza" Like I said before I almost forgot that you are a teenager."
Mayor" Pardon?"
Firuza" He is kinda obsessed with life of mercenaries living in different taverns and some other stuff."
Keep" HAHAHA! Well, that's what youth is. Alright, boy. I accept but I will introduce you to our best tavern myself."
He raised his hand with a smile. Guessing what he was trying to do. I handshaked firmly.
Keep " Hahaha! As expected from a Cr 11."
Usman " You are strong too."
Keep" Old me is just a Cr 7 warrior."
Mayor" Which is the highest rank here."
Firuza " Well you are still stronger than me. I am Cr 6."
Usman" Druids can level pretty up."
Keep" Alright, we will depart day after tomorrow. I have to buy some items and can you leave the plate here."
Usman" Sure."
...
Usman P.O.V.
Next day, I gave Firuza 1000 cps for her shopping. I used 1000 cps to buy some meat dishes for Arcanine. Even though he got his meal.
I still liked it. Keep had also recovered and bought his stuff. We will depart tomorrow.
...
Usman P.O.V.
Next morning, we were ready with our equipment near the gate. Firuza and me were mounted on Arcanine. We were waiting for Keep.
Clip clip clip clop
We turned our heads and saw him arriving on horseback.
Keep " Goodness! That's hell of a familiar, lad!"
He was looking at Arcanine with surprised eyes.
Usman " I know, shall we?"
Keep " Aye!"
And we hit the road.
....
Usman P.O.V.
Our journey through the mountains was uneventful. It took us 5 days on horseback and Arcanine. 5th day's evening, we reached the cave entrance to the Dwarven town, Khanburim.
I paid 140 SPS as our entrance fee. We got our documents for 100 SPS. Then, we went to our tavern mentioned by keep. I paid 320 SPS for our weekly stay there.
After escorting Arcanine to stables and having our dinner. We went to our rooms.
...
Keep P.O.V.
Both the lass and lad were excellent. 5 days passed without any trouble. I didn't know, there were such people. I need to inform Mayor about it.
When we arrived, I saw the lad paying with sac of SPS. No doubt, he has talent to earn that much. Then, I lead them to town hall.
A building where Mayor and his employees work. I brought them to visa room. Where a clerk made his documents. When this was happening.
I was summoned to Mayor's office. As expected. I have them the directions to the tavern and went to Mayor. I knocked the door.
THUK! THUK! THUK!
???" Come in."
I went in and saw Mayor Millburn sitting on his chair. His hands were clasped.
Millburn " Keep, I want to know about everything."
Keep" Yes, sire."
I told him about the fall of our comrades by the hands of demons. My survival and about party of the lad.
Millburn " Hmmm."
His back was arched towards the table. His lips were hidden by his hands. His eyes were closed.
Millburn " Keep. I think, it was fate that you met him."
Keep" Sire."
Millburn" I would like to meet him."
Keep" Sure, sire."
....
Usman P.O.V.
Next morning, Keep came to us. We were about to go out sightseeing.
Keep " Lad! Mayor wants to meet you....alone."
Firuza looked down realising again, she was not needed.
Usman " Firuza, don't mind him. I am a mercenary remember. Maybe Mayor has a job for me."
Firuza"...ok .."
She went to her room and we went to mayor's office.
...
Millburn P.O.V.
I had received information that the remnants of drow are after my head. I am not afraid to die but there are no better people to succeed me.
If this boy was really that good then he could handle the drow problem. When I was thinking about it in my office.
THUK! THUK! THUK!
Millburn " Come in."
Upon my order, Keep came in with a boy from South. He was in his teenage years. But I had this feeling from him as veteran....
He is dangerous. He was standing quietly in front of me. I see...
Millburn " I have a quest for you."
