Arthur was only 15 but he wasn't dumb, he could quickly read the room that something wasn't right, even as everyone clapped for him as he walked in he could see on they're faces they weren't happy.
He walked up to the king and queen who where at the center
it is my great honor to introduce our hero, summoned by the sword from another world
whispers and gasps where heard from the crowd
if I may lord Conrad, the first to speak was the queen of the elves, I would like to question the hero of his world, authority and superiority flowed from her voice and words, it went without saying everyone could sense the arrogance in her tone.
lord Arthur was it? tell us, how is your world like, are you someone of importance?, what power systems are in place in your world?, how many races are there?, what powers do they possess?
umm hehe, Arthur felt a little intimidated and nervous as he felt like he was being interrogated and not questioned
well my world Isn't like yours, we don't have kings and queens but we do have presidents and the government, important people who rule over the entire nation, and there aren't any race apart from us humans
gasps where heard again as he said this
for power systems? I guess you can say we have the military but there's no magic in my world
again gasps and whispers where heard from the crowd
so you don't have any magic? what about weapons asked the king of the dwarves earning a glare from the elf queen as he interrupted her
we have weapons but not swords, arrows or spears
so what do you have.
Well we have guns, a small hand weapon that fires projectiles at people
oooo! the people where in awe at his description
is that all
no there are jets and missiles, jets are flying vehicle
you mean like flying chariots? asked one of the princes of the dwarves
yes something like that, then they can drop explosives powerful enough to wipe out cities and villages
ooooo!
hmph well we have powerful weapons as well said the atlantian king as he held his trident, my weapon can command the seas and all it's inhabitance he said proudly
yh well in my world there's something call a nuke
what does it do asked the dwarf king in excitement
it can destroy a country without the need of an army.
This time his sentence sent fear into the hearts of all.
a
A weapon that powerful?
how is that possible without magic
he must be lying
as more and more comments where made the elf queen silenced the crowd by releasing some of her magical power, the pressure was so immense that some of the human nobles fell on they're knees.
Now for the most important question, one you left out before, are you someone of importance in your world.
Her questions caused silence in the hall as everyone was thinking this as well, all who heard of the hero couldn't stop thinking as to why the sword would summon someone from another world, surly there must be a reason for this.
uhh no not really, I'm just a normal 15 yr old kid, I don't know why I was summoned
....., there was an abrupt silence before
are you kidding me!
that's a lie, no way the sword would pick a child
not only is he not of noble blood but he's just a commoner, a kid at that
what the hell is this, the sword must be playing jokes on us.
The people in the hall started yelling and spewing insults at Arthur, they weren't hiding they're dislike for him anymore, some even went as far as throwing they're drinks and food at Arthur.
Now calm down everyone Conrad said as he stepped in front of Arthur stopping them, let's all calm down, no matter what or who he is he's still our hero he said. It took a while but the crowd calmed down and Arthur immediately exited the party ment for him and went straight to his room, he had never been so embarrassed in his life before, he covered his head with his pillow, hoping never to go out of his room again
this was not how I thought it would play out he said to himself, I thought the hero was liked by everyone, so why, why do they all hate me, what did I do wrong! he yelled at himself trying to hold back the tears he turned around and looked at the sword kept by his bed side, why did you summon me here! he yelled at the sword but no response.
He held the sword with both hands trying to drag it to the window but then his eyes shun with a white glow. suddenly Arthur saw a dark castle, a mysterious figure pulled out a dark red glowing sword and power from it shot into the sky, around him huge gates opened up and monsters of all shapes and sizes surrounded him
"now my conquest begins"
Arthur's eyes stopped glowing and the vision ended, he started sweating profusely as he was scared to the bone of the figure he saw
who...what... was that.
Meanwhile in a council room, a meeting was held as all world leaders where seated in a room around a table.
This is the first time we were included in the meetings said the king of Atlantis
you were acknowledged long ago king neptune we just never had reason to call this meeting up untile now said Conrad
ok let's get straight to the point the elf queen said taking charge of the meeting
what do we do about this Arthur person
as straight forward as ever aren't you Eleanor
said Conrad
Don't speak casually with me, this is all you fault, how could you let this child draw out the sword
I believe you already know the story, we had no idea, according to my daughter it was when one of warriors sir hendrickson wanted to try his luck that's when it happened
it doesn't matter we need to take care of him now she implied
so what do you suggest said a fox beast woman
since no one wants to say it I will, we need to get rid of him permanently
but the sword I'll protect him, according to legend the sword will protect him till he's strong enough to defend himself
he just got the sword today so he couldn't have made a connection with it yet, as long as he hasn't gotten any visions yet we still have a chance
and what if it fails neptune asked
then we fight this battle ourselves she suggested
your not implying .....
yes Elaina said, I'm saying we fight the demon lord with out the child.
