Chapter 30 - Statues of Heroes 2

There stood Frank the Legend Holy Knight Priest, Baggus their Arch Wizard, Saber their Legendary Lycan, Splinter their Master Assassin, Branmoor their Druid Priest, Maldor their Ranger Captain, Deathbane their Necromancer Lord, Snap their Master Fighter, Arthras their Royal Saint Paladin and Mistiban their Chaos Dread Knight, as well as Shinpatsu their Grand Master Swordsman.

These eleven heroes made a seal to the Tirad pass to prevent the invasion of the Dark forces after a dungeon break, resulting in the peace this generation has received. Stella faced the statue of Branmoor and put the flowers she bought on the pedestal. She made a silent prayer and Hanna patted her shoulders.

"We will always remember their bravery that appeared in dire times to protect us," Hanna comforted Stella.

Hanna also bowed at the statue of Shinpatsu who was their greatest warrior who also defended the kingdom.

As for Lumiel, he admired Sir Frank for his leadership of this Legendary team to succeed in their last mission. He dreams that he will become someone like Sir Frank in the future.

They made their last moments and left the statues then they sat at the benches of the park. Many people were dating in this place whether young or old and others were sightseeing in the semi-forest, grassy, and well-landscaped park with many lights at night.

They chatted about their favorite heroes as well as some experiences they encountered in their young lives. Hanna bought some snacks at the nearby stall and returned carrying popcorn. When Hanna arrived, Patrick also saw them eating at the bench, "Here's your snack, eat first while it's still warm," Hanna offered her popcorn.

"Patrick, how did you find us?" questioned Rain.

"It's so hard to find you with so many people here and also there's the vastness of the park," Patrick complained.

"Heheheh, well congrats on finding us, brother!" Lumiel said while laughing.

"After you finish your food you close your eyes and you too Stella," Patrick said to them.

After they finished, they closed their eyes and then opened it at his signal.

"Charan! Surprise!" Lumiel and Patrick said in unison. They showed the necklaces to the girls.

"Wow, a necklace! Is this a rose? I like it and it has also the kingdom's symbol!" Stella said in surprise while Hanna hugged Patrick in happiness.

"Whoa, you're already there?" Lumiel asked them.

"Um no! It's just a friendly hug," Hanna said timidly and then blushed.

"It's just a friendly hug, there's nothing more to it," She said while she didn't look at them.

"Oh that's reasonable," Lumiel replied while displaying a malicious look on his face.

"Hey don't be a pervert Rain, a girl's desire to hug a man is desirable!" Stella said with a triumphant look.

"Hey don't say it that I desired it, Stella! As I said it's a friendly hug," Hanna said while she's a bit annoyed.

"Okay! Okay! I know that you've been close to each other since young," Lumiel said to her.

"By the way can I?" Lumiel said while he put the necklace on Stella's neck. Patrick also puts the pendant on Hanna.

"I thought of an oath for us," Patrick suggested.

"Okay let's hear it!" Stella said.

"Okay as for our oath, it's to protect and serve each other in sickness and in health!" He said while lifting the pendant into the air.

"Is this a wedding?!" Rain interrupted.

"Lumiel shut up," Stella said with a dissatisfied look.

"Okay sorry but I didn't find it outrageous," He said while contemplating.

"It's good! It's good! It's nice. I don't object to it," Hanna said while panicking.

"Okay altogether let's say it!" Patrick said while lifting the pendant.

"To protect and serve each other, in sickness and in health!" they said in unison and lifted their necklaces.

"This seems heroic like the heroes of the tales," Stella muttered.

"Right and today onward, we're the Phoenix!.....or the Firefly!..." Patrick pouted, "Guys help me to name our team," Patrick said worriedly.

"I think The Firefly is cool like it glows in the dark!" Lumiel suggested.

"Right, Firefly! It's cool!" Hanna agreed to Rain.

"Alright from now on we will be called The Firefly, It gives faint light that symbolizes hope in the darkness even just a little hope, it will shimmer to the farthest lands without a doubt," Patrick said gallantly.

"Clap your hands, everyone," Rain said.

They clapped hands and Stella said, "So that means Patrick is the leader!"

"I don't object!" Lumiel said out loud.

"And as for Hanna," Lumiel said while he looked at her.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't object!" she said feeling a bit concerned.

"So that settles it and for our hideout, I know a place!" Patrick said.

"It's our newly purchased lot with a treehouse! So what do you think?" He asked everyone and all replied with a "Yes" using their hands to thumbs up.

They walked merrily as they talked about their plans for their teams and gradually said goodbye to each other, parting ways to their homes.
