7 Hero's Fate

After the feasts and the meeting there were preparations going on in the castle to send off Adam and Maria to the Uprasrica kingdom, "It's past the muddy central forest" Maria said looking at the map they were given by some scouts of Asadonia military. "How long do you think it'll take for us to even consider that we are close to a demon ruled kingdom?" Adam asked as they both sat outside in the same garden connecting Adam's room and the castle, "Probably twelve hours" she said turning the map upside-down, "This is really detailed isn't it?" said she, amazed by the geographical talents of the military.

"Is there any fast travel?" he held his hands out covering the sun, "Fast? You mean like teleportation?" he nodded, "Well, stuff like that requires a transmitting and receiving stable connection, meaning that there should be someone at the receiving end who was given preparation time to establish such magic. It's a long process" to which he frowned, "That's boring, how about flying there, like dragon or big birds or unicorns" she was terrified hearing those, "Listen, we are humans, those are the means of travel for Gods" he should excitement, "Gods, yeah Gods, tell me about them also tell me about that Osmane God" he turned around to look at her, she casually explained,

"Osmane is one of the prime God of life for humans, some say that in the halls of Gods he proposed the idea to create an intelligent species who could master on their greed. He was opposed by many since they all considered it a similar idea as to that of creation of Elves and Dwarves but he tried countless times so he created Ryena and Asarek the first of human kind in our world. They were able to impress the gods with their extraordinary skills as to resistance of greed and black magic and also to improvise at times unexpected, we were not ranked as intelligent as an Elf or as strong in raw strength as that of a dwarf, we were something in between, that's how we came into existence. Any sane human left will pray to Osmane".

"The King prayed to him last night while we were in Saradonia, there is a special ritual of getting naked and taking a dip in the water you used to declare yourself king or queen, that's why he was in his robe when we arrived and not in his cloak and shawl attire. It's basically just bathing all naked in cathedral and reading all your words that intentionally or unintentionally somehow hurts human feelings, it's probably where he would've talked about you too, since you are from a human race anyway" she continued,

"The other gods rule their own worlds, they help each other and the reason to bind them together was humanity, something that had interests of every God, guess we are walking backwards huh? Since past few years there have been many havocs in this world except the demons, there were wildfires, earthquakes, all night long thunder strikes, floods, drought, that too on the helpless. We fight it back, before the whole summoning job I worked in the rescue battalion, weird enough but true".

"This is a solid proof that the gods are unhappy, they are getting uninterested as days go by" he scratched his head, "Alright, how strong exactly is a God?" he asked to which she laughed, "You really want to know?" she giggled more, "They have a different metric system. One that even the administrator of the kingdoms don't have access to but why do you ask? It's not like it makes a difference in our stance" he had a brighter laugh, "Listen, you new to this, I am not, I have read tons and tons, I got this" he got up and started walking towards his room, "Ill go change to that weird Traveler outfit" she was angry, "Its called Roma you dumb fat and don't forget to meet princess Stella, she asked for it personally" she turned away and went through the map again.

"Uprasrica is controlled by Bernard, I never thought this day would come" Stella sat with the king himself, "I know, what a brilliant talent, now corrupted. We are running out of time, Stella" she shook her head, "Back then, in Saradonia, you should've seen it yourself. I had no words to define that power, are you sure she summoned a human hero? Is he something like a demi-god?" to which king nodded with a yes, "The admin won't lie about race, this is something deeper than that" they sat in a round small table in king's court. Some guard knock the door, "Its princess Alnidha, majesty she wants a word" he said, "Send her in and close the door", the king said and the guard did, he opened the door, dragged her chair and closed it again, "I know you are talking about him, I wanted you to know something about him" she wanted to talk but Stella had a different face seeing her, she stood up and walked out of the door, "She left, didn't she?" she had the similar smile, "yes, she did" the king replied looking down and clearing his throat, "He is not a regular hero, father".

"He is different" to which he comforted his beard, "If you want to distinguish him on his diet than be my guest because I have no idea what to come up with" he had his hands on his head again, "The skills he learnt, Void Magic, Blue Phoenix, in short almost negligible amount of time and now people are saying that he knocked Wilhem dead with a single punch, no magic or weaponry" she crossed hands, "Its something to wonder indeed, for now though, it's not much information but I think he may be the abnormal hero from the Osmane texts" the king raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what you are saying!?" Stella stood right outside the door silencing the guards and listening everything, "Remember what he says? He who is doubtful, he who even the system denies, he who breaks and brings cloud together, he who is spiteful, he who catches eyes. It makes more and more sense as we speak".

Adam was getting ready by trying to wear his new outfit, the pants were too tight and the jacket, too lose, there were glasses and shoes but they won't fit his head and foot, "If you really make a point here and he really turns out to be the abnormal hero, there'll only be one thing to do…" he finally got in his outfit trying really hard, "What?" she replied and the king stood up, "We have to kill the hero"
