King Harold makes a fist with his hand as he fills up with anger deep within him.
"KNIGHTS! I ORDER YOU ALL TO KILL THE HEROES AT ONCE!"
"There will be on killing or harm to others."
Pope Adam looked at all the knights in the throne room. Then he looked at the heroes.
("I see now. How interesting.") "I believe that God himself wants everyone to live a happy life and if they make a mistake, they should get a second chance. Do you all not agree with me on the topic?"
All the knights looked at each other, as King Harold sat down on his throne, with an annoyed look on his face. As King Harold sits there scratching at the armrest, as Griffin stood up as Pope Adam looked over at him.
"Forgive me for speaking out of line, Pope Adam."
Griffin gives Pope Adam a bow.
"There is no need for that Sir Griffin. Now please speak your mind, no one here will interrupt you or judge you."
"Well."
Griffin points at Johnny.
"That one there has been calling himself a god since he got here. Is that not against our rules and against our god?"
King Harold quickly stands up from his throne, with determination in his eyes.
"Yes that is true and is straight baffling. You see now Pope Adam, these heroes here don't believe in our god and they dare call themself a god, it's inconceivable. Then to make things worse, they insult me, the King. I can't allow it. So as the King, I sentenced these heroes to death. Do you not agree with me, Pope Adam?"
King Harold points at the heroes as he looks at Pope Adam, hoping Pope Adam would agree with his decision and have the heroes executed for their sins.
But to King Harold's eyes, Pope Adam walks over to Alex and kneeled down to get a closer look at Alex
Alex looks up at Pope Adam with a broken nose and slightly dizzy, from being slammed on the ground face first earlier.
"Oh, look, it is another priest guy. Do you guys have like 20 priests or something?"
"How dare you say that to Pope Adam. I should have your…"
As the knight goes to stand up, Pope Adam waves his hand at the knight.
"It's alright."
The knight stands there looking at Pope Adam before going back to bow to Pope Adam.
"Why would we punish them? What crime have they committed that we have not."
After Pope Adam looked at all the knights in the room he than looks back down at Alex and heals his broken nose and removed the dizziness that Alex had.
King Harold storms down the steps to his throne and walks over to Pope Adam and grabs Pope Adam's hand to stop him from helping Alex.
"How dare you help them? Why punish them you ask, it is very simple on why. They insulted me, that is one of the biggest crimes you can do in this kingdom, and you want to let them go. Are you blind?"
King Harold is furious with Pope Adam, as King Harold starts to breathe heavily.
Pope Adam puts his hand on King Harold's shoulder and gives him a warm smile.
"Yes that might be true, but if that was the case. You just insulted the Pope of this kingdom the second you tried to stop me from helping this man."
King Harold's eyes widen as he lets go of Pope Adam hand.
"Do you now see, King Harold. These heroes have not broken any rules or done any crimes."
"But they…"
"They did what? Did they summon you from your own world without asking? Did they rip you from your family and loved ones? Did they expect you to live by their rules? Did they tell you how you can't be yourself anymore and you must be who I want you to be? No. No they did not, but we did. Us, the people of Starheaven did? So as the Pope of the Kingdom Of Starheave, I will forgive the heroes for any crimes and wrongs that they have committed, and you should do the same, King Harold."
"Why? I was the one that summoned them here. They should be honored and proud to serve me."
"King Harold, I believe you are overlooking the issue here."
"What are you talking about Pope Adam? I am the King, and the King word is absolute."
"Only God's words are absolute. No man's word is absolute, only the ones that speak our God himself have absolute words, and even then. They are still not absolute."
"But I am King."
"And I am the Pope. I over-role you, and I say that these heroes deserve a second chance to live their life as they please."
King Harold grinds his teeth together, as he watches Pope Adam help Alex up, beforing walking over to the other heroes.
"Are you two okay? If any of you need healing just ask."
"I am a god. I can heal myself."
Pope Adam looks at Johnny as King Harold lays out.
"YOU SEE. HE CALLS HIMSELF A GOD. AND YOU EXPECT US TO BE OKAY WITH THAT? HE SHOULD BE KILLED."
"My name is Pope Adam, of the Kingdom Of Starheaven. May I ask for your name and where you align yourself as a god."
Johnny looks at Pope Adam with shock in his eyes, before looking at Austin then back at Pope Adam.
"Align?"
"Yes, what is your alignment? Good, Evil, Justice, Honor. As a god, you must have some type of alignment for your followers."
"Oh, he has no followers."
"Shit, the only followers he has. Is himself."
Pope Adam turns and looks at Austin.
"I see, but one day he might."
Pope Adam pats Johnny on the head.
"Just keep your hope up, one day you will have followers of your own."
Pope Adam walks to the door and looks back at the heroes.
"Now if you three heroes don't mind and follow me, I will be the one to give you your powers."
All three heroes stand up and start to walk towards the door, as King Harold looks over at Sir Groudson with a fuming look on his face.
"Sir Groudson, I order you to kill those heroes. At once."
King Harold points at the three heroes waiting for Sir Groudson to make his move but Sir Groudson doesn't move from his spot.
King Harold starts to sweat from his hairline as he starts to panic a little.
"Sir Groudson, you're my trusty knight. The head over my royal knights."
"Yes, my King that is true."
"So why are you doing what I told you to do? KILL THE HEROES. KILL THEM, KILL THEM NOW!"
Sir Groudson looks up at King Harold from his kneeling position
"Please forgive me my King, but Pope Adam has given the order to not kill the three heroes."
King Harold grinds his teeth together as he glares over at Pope Adam and the three heroes as they walk out of the throne room, with the doors shutting behind them.
After the doors shut to the throne room, King Harold stormed off to the secret door in the back of the throne room, and as he stormed off, he started to think in his head.
("Damn you, Pope Adam. I will make you regret making a fool out of me.")
"My, King. Please wait."
Sir Groudson stands up and runs after King Harold.
After the door closes behind the three heroes and Pope Adam, they are met with 2 servant girls.
Both servant girls give Pope Adam a bow.
"You see they are bowing to me. They can see the true greatness in me."
One the servant girl looked up for a second at Johnny with a confused look on her face. As Johnny looks up at the ceiling with a smile on his face.
"Yes, I am truly the greatest."
Both Alex and Austin look at Johnny with disgust and annoyed looks on their faces.
"You're so stupid, you know that, Johnny."
"I swear if he calls himself a god again. I might just kill him myself."
"Please, you could never kill a god like me."
"Okay that is it."
Austin pushes Alex out of the way and gets ready to give Johnny an ass whooping of his life, as Pope Adam steps in front of Austin, stopping him from fighting Johnny.
"Fighting is not needed, young hero."
"Shit it isn't. He has been having this ass whooping coming since we got summoned here."
"I understand your frustration, but we can overlook this."
Johnny looks over Pope Adam's shoulder at Austin.
"You see, even the lesser gods can tell I am just that great."
"I will give you something great. Don't you worry about that."
"Now, now. Let's calm down."
"Sure, I will calm down."
"That is good."
Austin looked at Pope Adam with a calm look on his face.
"Now if you will excuse me, Pope, whatever. I will now calmly kick Johnny's ass to next week."
As Austin goes to get around Pope Adam, Alex grabs Austin by his shoulder, causing Austin to turn his head and look at Alex.
"Do you want a ass whooping too, because I have plenty to pass around."
"Shut up, and look."
"Look at what?"
Alex points down the hallway, and as Austin turns his head to see what Alex is pointing at, as all three heroes instantly feel a heavy aura on them, as the air feels more thick and harder to breathe with the gravel feels heavier like they are being forced down to kneel for some reason.
All three heroes fall to their knees as they see a woman with long blonde hair wearing all gold slowly walking down the hallway to them.
Alex tries to stand up, but as he tries to he can feel his muscles and bones being forced down, almost making his body fall apart. As he falls down to the ground puking out blood.
"You idiot."
Austin starts to bleed from the mouth a little as he looks at the woman slowly getting closer to them.
Pope Adam reaches his hand out and casts a spell.
"God give me the power to bless these heroes. Holy circle."
As a golden cross appears in the Pope's hands, three golden magic circles appear around each of the three heroes.
"This can't be. I am a god. I don't kneel to no one."
Johnny tries to stand up, but Pope Adam stops him.
"If you keep moving, you could do more damage to yourself. Just like you friend did over there."
As Pope Adam points over at Alex.
"God, you say. How interesting."
Pope Adam turns around and the woman has disappeared, but when he looked at Johnny the woman was standing behind him.
"So, you think you're a god. How disappointing. I was hoping you would be much stronger and better looking than this."
The woman looked over at Alex and Austin.
"You two are not much different from this one."
"And what is that supposed to…"
Before Austin could finish his sentence, the woman moved faster than the speed of light and held a blade to Austin's neck.
Making the 2 servant girls run the other away from the woman.
"You see. You're weak."
The woman then pushes Austin back down before Pope Adam steps in.
"Lady Destiny, it is good to see you return from your latest mission. How did everything go?"
"Everything went well, Pope Adam. But it took a little longer than we wanted to."
"Yes, I can see that. Well, I am happy that you have returned in one piece…"
"Sorry to interrupt, but who are these people? And why are they in the castle?
Destiny quickly realized that the three men on the ground are not from this world. Destiny quickly turned and looked at Pope Adam.
"Tell me, Pope. Are these three the heroes? Are they?"
"Yes. They are the heroes that King Harold summoned today."
"So, King Harold summoned them."
"Yes."
"I see."
Destiny looks at the heroes one more time, before she starts to walk to the throne room.
"I am going to report my last mission to the King. Try not to die newbies."
As Destiny walks away, all three heroes can now move freely once again.
"Who is she?"
Austin asked Pope Adam, as Pope Adam is healing Alex.
"She is one of the 5 heroes of the world."
"So why are we summoned then?"
Austin looks at Pope Adam with a confused look on face.
"I will explain everything back in the church."
"Lead the way then."
"I follow no man."
Johnny quickly gets back to his feet and makes himself look big and strong by flexing his musicals.
"You are about to not have legs in a minute if you keep running that mouth of yours."
Austin quickly turns Johnny ready to fight him again, making both Alex and Pope Adam to step in to stop him.
A few minutes have passed as Pope Adam and the three heroes enter the church. Pope Adam making a magic circle in the middle of the church.
"Now, to explain why we summon heroes from another world even though we have our own heroes in this world. It is very simple really. Heroes from another world are given more power than any of the heroes born in this world."
"But that still doesn't tell us why you had to summon us in the first place."
Pope Adam looks over at the three heroes before going back to finish making the magic circle on the ground.
"Yes, the reason you three were summoned was so you three can defeat the Demon King of this world."
"But why can't your heroes do it?"
"Because the Demon King is very powerful, and we don't know if our heroes can even hurt the Demon King."
"Even that woman in gold from early."
"Yeah, did you call her Destiny? Or something like that."
"Yes Lady Destiny. She is a high elf from the Kingdom of Seagate. They are the kingdom up north."
"A high elf."
"Well now I know we are 100% in a fantasy world."
Austin looks over at Alex with a stupid look on his face. As Alex looks back at Austin.
"What is with the look for?"
"I am just trying to figure out who is stupider. You or him."
As Austin points at Johnny.
"Hey now I will let you know that I am…"
"And I will let you know that I don't care."
Austin then looks at Pope Adam with an even more annoyed look on his face.
"Please continue, Pope."
"The other 4 heroes in this world are all from different Kingdoms."
"How many different races are there? How many Kingdoms? How many different languages? What are all the weapons like? Are there any cool and expensive ideas?"
Pope Adam's eyes widened when Austen asked all the questions at once.
"You see. Those are the questions I need answers to and more."
"It seems like you are looking for a library."
"Yes, that is what I need right now."
"There is one here in the church that you can use."
"Nice."
Austin nodes his head as Johnny steps forward.
"Okay enough talk. Where is this power, we get?"
"Yeah, that is a good question. How do we gain power?"
Pope Adam gives Johnny and Alex a simple smile before he finishes the magic circle.
"Very simple. Just stand on the magic circle and think of the one power that you want."
"Wait."
Alex stops the other two, to conform to what Pope Adam is saying.
"You tell us, whatever power we are thinking of. We will have it."
"That is correct."
"Easy."
"Oh beat, I know what I want."
"Hang on a minute. I need time to think."
Austin looks over at Alex.
"What do you mean you need time to think. I should use your power from that light novel you are writing."
"Yeah but, that will just fuck me over."
"True but still."
Johnny looks over at Alex.
"Come on, you always have a new power made up in that head of yours, and you're telling us that you have no idea which one you want?"
"Yeah."
Austin and Johnny look at each other before walking on to the magic circle.
"You can give us our powers first, right?"
"Yeah."
Pope Adam turns and looks at both Austin and Johnny.
"I do apologize. But all three of you must be on the circle at the same time or it will not work."
Austin looks over at Alex.
"Hurry up already. I want to start cooking."
Johnny rubs his hands together and looks up at the art on the ceiling.
"I can't wait. I am so excited."
Alex stands there for a good second before he comes up with his power.
Alex then snaps his fingers.
"I got it."
"About time."
Alex walks on to the magic circle with Austin and Johnny.
"Okay Pope what do we do from here?"
Pope Adam put his hands out in front of him and summoned a giant cross right behind the three of them.
"All you need to do is to think of that power that you want, and god himself will give it to you."
"Sounds easy enough."
"Agreed."
As Pope Adam starts to move his hands, wind starts to blow around the circle that the heroes are in. The giant cross starts to glow as Pope Adam starts to say the chant.
"God, hear my voice. Grant the three heroes your blessing. Give them the power to overtake the evil in this world and bring peace to all the despair. Let them bring joy to this world and free people that have lost their way. Let your power guide them to victory. I say this in the name of our God. Great Blessing."
As the room lights up Alex and Austin sees Pope Adam whisper something before the room goes super bright.
