6 A story from Nakia
The decision to stab her hand with a weapon was never a good thing , although it healed fast , I should've think of another option and never again , put someone's live in danger , even if they willing to do it.
I reached Nakia's hand and helped her to stand with her feet , her body is still in a traumatic phase because of that pain.
"are you okay ?, im sorry , I never thought that it will pierce through" I said to her with a low sad voice , feeling guilty for what I've done.
"Even though I screamed It's hurt , you still continued to push , Im okay with that , but , your statement about you not knowing that it would pierce through me It's a big lie for me , and im a bit sad about it" Said Nakia with a sad smile on her
I think I hurt her feelings with that word , but really, I was so excited to see it work , the feeling of the excitment filled my head back then , I was unable to think of another solution to test my weapon. but hte big question is , why I lied to her about me not knowing the possibility.
I looked sad , the guilt that I felt has taken over my emotions making my self look miserable , Nakia noticed it and reach my shoulders with her hand , and grab it thightly.
"it's okay ryuuji , I accepted the risk long ago , just promise me that you wouldn't ever lied to me again okay ?" Nakia said to me while she looks to my face with a sad face and a smile.
her voice turns gentle , like a mother that is caring for her childern.
"I would never do that again" I answered and lift my head up , eeing her face.
she pat my head like if I were a bad boy that done something wrong but in the end fixing everytjing that I've done.
"okay then lets get this pile of wood somewhere !" said Nakia to me.
"can we sell it ? how much for this amounte of woods ?" I asked Nakia while we walks to the pile of woods.
"one log worth 10 bronze , we probably going to get 10.000 bronze coins , is the same like getting 100 silver coins , or a gold coin , but , almost no one is buying this much of woods , so It's going to be hard to sell" said Nakia explaining to me
I didn't really think that even woods are hard to sell due the people that are dependants on their magic , I guess they rarely use this kind of wood to make fire or anything else , no wonder why no one is jere to harvest this much of woods.
I looked up to the sky , in search of inspiration , and I thought that this might be the right time to tell her my plan to survive the situation where the five kingdoms come here and try to kill me while Invading the village.
" Nakia , I have an Idea , but before that , I want to ask you some things" I asked as I lower my field of view to see the ground again.
"okay , just spit it out my man" said her cheerfuly smiling to me while she puts back the log of wood that she was carrying
"okay lets sit down and chill , because this going to be very long " I said as I sit down on the soft green grass that lied underneath us
she then sit down in front of me , crossing her legs , I then realize that she is wearing another trouser inside her dress , and its armored to the core, she is , really prepared for a battle.
"okay , first of all , can you tell me the time that we have untill the five kingdom come and Invade the adventurer's peak" I asked to Nakia.
"we probably have 2 months , 3 if we are lucky enough , the kingdoms have already realized your existence the second you are teleported here , but somehow , they are willing to wait until the so called "powerless hero" to die in 2 months. maybe it's because the budget for an Invasion is really high , because you know , it doesn't metter what causes the Invasion , the people of the village , and those who are bond to the village , will put up a really hard fight like when the first Invasion happened 14 years ago" said Nakia
"can you tell me morw about the Invasion back then" I said to her
"okay , then , I'll tell you about the hero that saved my father's life , the story of the "powerless hero" ".
"14 years ago , a man came from the stones , he is wearing a weird white suit that no one ever seen before , he is a really kind person , and he is unable to use powers , just like you"
"but however , his name spreads quickly at the village due his ability to make some weird and not delicious food , that heals the disease that can't be healed by magics. everyone started to think that he have powers like the other heroes , but that's untrue , he never go into a fight , he is just , a man sekling weird food that heals people"
"my father , is the leader of this village back then , on that time , the prince's kingdom doesn't have an authority of this place , and they still living under one of the five kingdom's influence , due to their kingdom that doesn't have a hero candidate"
"the people in this village are infected with disease that make them sick , have a high fever , and then die , one after another , my father as the leader is really upset with this and was frustated because he couldn't find a way to fix the situation , that's where the Hero offers his help and knowledge to the village".
"the hero ordered people to close their water storage and put some of his weird food inside of it , he also gave the people that are sick some of his food and special fruits that they must consume in order to heal their disease , and then , they eventually healed".
"he also ordered people to create smokes and use it to cover all of the village , leaving no spot without smoke".
"he said that the disease is caused and spreaded by insects , and he calls it ....."
"mosquitos , and the disease name is dengue fever" I said cutting Nakia's explanation.
Nakia looks suprised , and look into my eyes so deep with a curious looks.
"no , im not him , I just happens to came from the same realm with him , it" not a rare case , but it is deadly" I said to Nakia trying to cure her curiosity.
"okay I'll continue .so he managed to heal the village , and people were really paying respect to him and started to call him as "the powerless hero" and even build a house for him , and that house is the tavern where I live in".
"my father and him have an Idea to write a book about his weird food , hoe to make it , and what will it do when we consume it , the book is written with a weird language that no one can read , and my father attempted to tranlsate it with the powerless hero help , but before he managed to translate it , the ultimatum from the five kingdoms arrived".
"the five kingdoms sent 30 of their best knight to meet my father and give the ultimatum , the ultimatum said " for the sake of humanity , the powerless hero must be dead , everyone who try to protect or try to hide the hero will be considered as declaring a war against he five kingdoms" and the knights started to make a chaos in the village , they destroy everything , houses , food court , market , just everything that are important to the village".
"but at that time , the Villagers and the adventurer in the village fight back , and managed to defeat all of the knight that were sent to warn us"
"day after day past , and the village was about to come to it's normal daily life , I was 3 years old back then when they came and Invade us"
"every one , every single person that is in the Village is being slaugthered , blood is everywhere , boys , girls , elder and pregnant woman , all of them is killed with the most brutal way possible."
"limbs are everywhere , the street covered with bloods , those who remains , fight until their end , the children that managed to escape are hiding in their houses , and then got burned alive , I was so lucky that I was hiding in the woods with the powerless hero , and at that time , the powerless hero looks sad , and were crying while holding me tight and covered my eyes with his hands"
"he was unable to hold his emotions , untill he eventually ran and left me alone in the woods , I then followed him back to the village . there I saw hell , people are burnt or ripped apart , the knights of the five kingdoms were slaying innocent people of Adventurer's peak , then my father came up and stood in front of the childerns that survived the massacre , without realizing , I got dragged there by the knights"
"I was frightened so are the other childerns , my father stood in front of us with his sword and shiled , and try to protect us " please , spare the childern" said my father to the knights , but they sitll continues to attacks until my father fell down , and then the powerless hero came in , and screamed " release them please , I am the one you are looking for , so please , just stop , this is madness" he screamed with tears in his eyes , and then a knigt draws his sword and beheaded the hero in front of us and then continues the attack , but fortunately , one of the five hero came in"
"he is so angry , his powerfull aura surrounded his body , his sword are ready to kill , then he ordered the knights to fall back , and then rush to the tavern that still untouched because it contains the powerless hero's book , and then he took it and left , left with nothing but destruction , my fsther and I survived and also some of the childrens".
"then the kingdoms said that the Village will be restored by the prince's family and will be under their supervision , the childrens of the Village was moved to the main city of the kingdom , but I and my father stayed in the Village and opened the tavern, and the kingdom spread a false rumor about you , they said that the Adventurer's peak is attacked by dragon because the powerless hero attracts monsters to the village , and the story continues , only a little number of people that know the truth , including me and the prince".
"sok that's why everyone looked at us as if we were about to die as soon as we left the Village ?" I said to Nakia.
"the people should bw hating you because of the false rumours , but if the Invasion come , Im sure that they will know the truth and starts to fight" said Nakia again.
I shed tears hearing Nakia's story about the Village and the hero that saved his father and her , I started to think that running from this village will not fix anything , I have to find another way to survive.
