" Do you believe in heroes?"
"Yes i do believe in them and i really admired them for saving people".
"Heroes are super awesome ..and they had cool super powers too."
- If you ever got asked that question, probably it would be the same answer. But as for me, i-it's quite the opposite....i don't believe in them.
As a child, i used to believe in all kinds of imaginary characters ,superheroes and being one of them. We always admire and praise them for their bravery but as an adult i realize there was no such things as hero.
Clearly, we all got deceive that heroes exist.
B-but in my situation right now... i want to believe in them!!!
Help!! if heroes are real ,just come and save me from these creatures!!
Huff..ha. "Why is it coming this way?!" I ran as fast as i could ..b-but that thing surely has an incredible speed.
"It's coming this way". I look back and saw those dreadful glare ,seeing the sharp tip of brownish tooth but have it glinting and running with saliva.
"Shoo! go away i won't allow you to eat my precious body!" the hungry beast was chasing after me. But luckily i found a perfect spot to hide...
A cave..
- I run through the cave, hoping that i lost the sight of the monster. As i entered ,the bats swarmed over my head.I almost fell on my shoes but i stood up and continued running away.."This place surely a mess ..but nah no other choice"
The whistling sound of cracking stone,the bumpy gravel that i could barely feel under my shoes. And the sound of a growling monster ..Howling through the cave looking for its prey.
"Whew, I almost screwed up! Good thing I found this awesome hiding spot, hehe." I wiped the sweat off my forehead as it dripped down.
I continued walking ,letting my feet wandered through this dark cave with no light.
And after the tiring journey ,i decided to rest for a bit. I sat down in a patch of wet rock and noticed a sword embedded in a stone, an Excalibur perhaps?
I tried to pull the sword out , but i swear i couldn't. It seemed like the sword had been stuck there for a million years.
I froze stiff as the howling and clacking noise grew closer.*gulp*
" W-wait , what ?! i-it's already in here?!" Oh great ,now this is the end , my worst nightmare..to be eaten by that hungry beast. How I wish I could die peacefully, not like this!
My legs shook uncontrollably, fear gripping me. All i could hear was my heart hammering in my chest and my own gasping breathe.
I gripped the sword tightly, and as i was about to pull it free, it came out.I was stunned, but without hesitation i swung the sword right in front of the monster.
"He-ey y-you m-monster, go away!" I slammed my eyes shut and pressed my hands against them, but its face remained, a horrifying image seared into my mind.
The face was like the skull of a horse with twisted horns sticking out of its head, the back was covered with jagged spikes. It's mouth had teeth like broken glass and the beast's eyes, two burning embers in the darkness.
-The monster was right in front of me. But its lurking eyes were fixed on my back. It trembled in fear, as if it had seen a ghost.
A chill ran down my spine as I felt its gaze, a sensation so intense it was as if the beast itself was peering into my very soul. My legs trembled, not from fear of the beast itself, but from the sheer terror of being watched by something .
*the monster ran away*
"w-what?"-Can anyone explain this? Why does the greedy beast running away from me now? Was it scared to fight me? Oh yeah, I knew it from the start. No one can ever beat me... ha!
"Hey come back here you little, think your'e tough?heh good for you".
-But when i realize its gaze was fixed on my back, I felt a shiver run down my spine. I glanced over my shoulder and saw a guy,sitting in mid-air.
His white hair is impeccably styled,where a horn had once proudly stood. His eyes were like two shards of black obsidian,with red pupils that burned like eternal flames. They weren't just red; they were the color of hellfire, a constant reminder of the torment that awaited those who crossed him. The black surrounding them seemed to amplify the heat, making them feel like two burning suns that could scorch your soul. His hands were pressed against his face, as if he were utterly disinterested in everything around him.
-I suddenly felt this sensation i never had before.
"Are you a h-hero?" i asked.
"Bwahahahahaha" he laughed like a maniac.
This man's laughter was a terrifying symphony of sound.His eyes, wide and unblinking, gleamed with a manic delight as he pounded his fists against the wall, each blow echoing the rhythm of his laughter.
-"Ehem, how is it funny?" i asked, my face contorted in annoyance.
" Well t-the thing..is ..bwahhahahahha" Then, it built, growing louder and more frantic with each passing second, until it erupted into a full-blown, maniacal cackle.
" Just spit it out already, will you?"
" Oh well sorry , but it's sound ridiculous , how could i be a hero?"He asked, perplexed.
" But you saved me earlier ."
""Huh? I didn't save you. Consider yourself exceptionally fortunate that my arrival coincided with your moment of peril. And also i'm not a hero and i will never be."
"Yeah.. you don't look like a hero .. more like a villain to me" i answered with a mischievous grin.
"Ha! Mind your tongue, mortal.Those who dare to disregard my presence shall suffer my wrath."
""Whoa... Relax, okay? And stop using flowery language. Please speak to me formally."
"By what authority do you presume to issue such commands? Are you unaware of who i am?"
-This guy surely talks a lot..oh well,sighed*
"So tell me, if your'e not a so called hero then what are you? An angel who came down from heaven to rescue me or an alien who was just passing by?"
"Your impertinence knows no bounds! Your ignorance of my power will soon be rectified."
" Hey, stop being dramatic and answer my question. What are you?"
" A Guardian" he claimed.
"Guardian what?"
"I, who served with unwavering loyalty as a guardian, am now condemned to this desolate exile, unjustly sealed and cast away by the ungrateful mortals I once protected—a cruel irony that burns with eternal fire."
" I...I found you!" i claimed.
" Found what?"
