Old friends::Chapter 11
"Take them and run" Frost Tharcher said. He loaded his bow with six arrows fired at the sky and repeated twice. The first three orcs entered the glade only to die as arrows rained down. Seeing the vanguard die brutally Roxas slowly entered the glade while checking for the overhead archers hidden among the branches.
Frost Kong was amazed at the accuracy of his cousins archery skills. He began chanting the frost spell his family was known for. The area of effect spell caused a light frost to settle over the glade. Roxas watched his orcs die as frost crept over the summer greenery. Magic maybe an elven strike team he thought.

The heroes had been summoned from Earth. After five years of fighting monsters they had finally managed to kill the demon king. Bobby had the killing stroke be heading the demon king. Golden light shone from the sky and the booming voice of the heavenly administrator asked. "You have slain the demon king and can make any wish." Bobby didn't hesitate"I wish I was home again." And with that Bobby disappeared as a ball of light into the sky. The others waited to return home as well. "Hey we want to return home too." One of the female heroes said. "Sorry. Only the hero that actually kills the demon king can make the wish. Bobby said that 'he' would go home not everyone."
"Then how do the rest of us get home?" Someone asked.
"Kill another demon king and you can make another wish." Said the heavenly administrator. "Don't worry there is a demon king for each of you."

Four years and three hundred sixty four days ago. A bright light shone through the tiny bedroom window under the stairs. Bobby looked around in wonder. "My bedroom" he thought then laughed out loud. His band posters surrounding his four poster bed. The light dust on the window sill. Bobby opened his door and looked around. His family were crying, large tears soaking the wood floor.
"What's going on?" Bobby called out.
His family looked at him, the crying continued, but sadness turned to joy.
"Did you miss you're flight? We're worried sick that you were caught in the explosion that killed you're class." Said his brother.
As Bobby related his past five years experience his family shook their heads. "Bobby was still telling stories and already twelve years old." his mother thought. She gently handed him her compact mirror saying. "My dear we're so grateful to God that you were here the whole time".

"That selfish b*stard left us to die." said Bobby's best friend.
"Bobby I hate you. You promised to marry me but left by yourself." said Astrid, Bobby's girlfriend
In time Bobby would learn of his mistake and be left with life long guilt. As for now.
