the man of legend

A couple days passed " hey rage you remind me of something" the little one said trying to climb on his shoulders " and what would that be" rage said kneeling letting her on his shoulders " theirs a elven legend that says that a man of fire saved one of the princess from a god of evil" the little one said sitting on his shoulders " really how interesting" rage said trying not to know what she was talking about.

"so where did you come from rage" the little girl asked curiously "my mother had a relationship with a fire spirt" rage said in a monotone voice "really!" the little girl was excited about a new thing she never heard before " no" rage said quickly "hmmp you liar" the little girl turned her head and pouted " come on aren't fire spirts well spirts meaning they having no physical body" rage said trying to calm the angry child, "well you can summon the spirts into animals to help you fight" the little girl said forgetting what happened " is that so" rage said. Rage walked the rounds around the camp guarding it he looked down lost in thought, he closed his eyes to hear the birds chirping and wind blowing "ha spring feels nice" he thought'

He felt something pierce his body he looked down and saw three arrows he sighed " always when I'm thinking" rage said " what did you get shot again" the little one said, feeling it's more common than anyone else "yes but they used three this time so they must be serious" rage said pulling the arrows out "I didn't see where they came from" rage said looking around " it's a elven technique they'll probably go for close combat, now failing at ranged attacks" the little one said proudly " is there any way you can do this without fighting" the little one said not wanting to hurt her rescuers, rage thought for a minute, he roared " elves I want to see your leader of this rescue party" the little one looked down at him with an annoyed look, he could feel her gaze " what it worked didn't" he said pointing to the elves on the horses.

The little one squinted at them in the distance, "hey it mother and father" she yelled excitedly jumping off his shoulders and running toward them her mother ran to greet her hugging tightly and crying when they meet, the father rode passed and raised his sword to rage's face "where's the rest of my daughters" the father growled "relax there back at my camp resting" rage said pushing the sword away accidently melting it "uh my bad" rage said the father dropped the handle " I would like to speak to your camps leader" the father said riding pass rage got in his way "what do you think your doing" the father motioned his knights, the knights drew their swords " father what are you doing" the little one yelled "stay out of this" the father yelled " I'm the guard of my camp and can not let anyone who are not in the right state of mind pass" rage said " are you calling me insane" the father yelled his knights advanced the little one tried to stop him but her mother held her tight not to let her get hurt.

"no I'm saying I'm not letting anyone in who could hurt my friends when their emotions flare" rage stayed calm for now " are you calling me emotionally unstable right now when I haven't seen my children for days" the father yelled, his knight advanced farther towards rage "enough" rage roared, his flames turned purple " I'm not letting you pass when you could cause trouble for my friends" he roared again knocking over the father and his knights.

He sighed and his flames turned red again " when you calm down you may enter" rage said calmly " w-w-will you let me enter" the mother asked trembling with fear a little " yes take your daughter and enter my friends will do no harm to you so you can leave your knights out here" rage said stepping aside and motioning them pass "thank you" the little one whispered as they walked by.

Rage grabbed some fire and made a chair and sat down crossing his legs and waited for them to relax. A few moments later "have you heard the legend of elves" the father spoke up rage raised his head " the one about the man of fire?" rage asked "yes do you know of it" the father sat up "only the part your daughter told me" rage said grabbing more fire and made a table and a chair and motioned him to sit the father took rage's offer " the princess that was saved wanted to talk to the man but he chased after the attacker and told me and my wife bring anyone looked like him back to the kingdom to show her" the father explained " unfortunately I must refuse I cannot leave my post" "why it seems peaceful here" the father looked around seeing the fields of green "believe it or not this place has dangerous creatures, mostly slave traders but sometimes a high level creature every now and then" rage explained "but if you bring her here we'll treat you the best that my small camp can" rage offered " mmmm" the father was lost in thought "fine but I'd like to keep some of my knights here to help fight off creatures" the father said " that's fine they can deal with the children the traders bring though and give them back to their families" rage said.

"well I guess that will have to do" the father said getting up " can I leave my wife and children with you to protect them while I bring my wife's mother to see you" the father said keeping some knight here " you can but why not bring them with you" rage asked " it seemed that my daughter did not want leave yet and it's a long journey for the queen when she pregnant" the king said "do what you will I have to patrol some more" rage said getting up "till we meet again" the king said riding his horse back "not even saying bye to his children or wife how rude" rage thought he looked over walking his path "now I have to find food for three children and a pregnant woman how tiresome" rage thought.

He looked around and saw some boars in the woods "I guess that will do" he ran over and killed the boars " four boars, not bad" he thought tying there legs together with fire and dragging them back to camp. When rage got back to camp he saw the queen and the children playing and saw the knights helping fort with the houses and saw glace , seduce and mellow collecting fire wood "hmmm how efficient" rage thought placing the boars next to the fire pit and picking up a blade he started skinning a boar it was turning night and everyone gathered around the fire the queen and her children were asleep wrapped in the warmth of the fire and knights fell asleep leaning on each other, the rest fell asleep on fort's body using his muscle as pillows, rage stayed up looking into the fire lost in thought "something is going to happen I can feel it, its to peaceful for me, but the gods wouldn't hurt their own kind right? How long will this peace last? Will this be the last place for protection? … I'm overthinking this I can live peacefully for once. Well lets get some sleep a guard needs sleep even though "rage" never sleeps or dies it helps calm the mind" he thought closing his eyes and entering a relaxing sleep.
