23 THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE
All his life he had dreamed of being a knight of the human realm so he could have a peaceful life.
But he didn't know how cruel fate can be sometimes. since not only was he born without magic in his body, which led him to receive some ridicule in his life as one of the few humans who are usually born without magic, also he did not know his parents nor did he have any other relative having to live most of his life in the kingdom's orphanage.
although not everything was bad during those years in the orphanage, since in that place he met very important people for his life and who taught him important things for his life.
until that day in which he lived through hell.
the day he decided to become a knight of the kingdom, the day he met the man who would make his life hell. captain cold....the man he most admired in the world and the one he aspired to be in the future.....but that went to waste when he himself brought hell to his life....although the people he called family helped him....nothing could be done when that demon tried to kill him...he killed who he considered a mother, he killed whom he considered a father and killed who was his teacher... forcing him to leave his home and start a life of very dangerous adventures... but where he met wonderful people.
Although he knew that his life was at risk and at any moment he could die, even so he continued on his way and hoped that one day it would come....but not so soon....not even he had brought tamy home safe and sound....he hadn't gone on any missions with argos and silvy....but most importantly...he couldn't get his revenge on against captain cold.

kuro: so this is the end....at least i would have liked to have tried to kill that scum of captain cold.....
little by little the boy began to open his eyes ... finding only darkness around him.
kuro: if he were dead... why am I here? ... heaven and hell aren't supposed to exist...
hinoken: you are in limbo.....boy
kuro: so if I'm dead
hinoken: let's say that you are between life and death... the wound that that enemy caused you was mortal... but even so, with my power I managed to heal you... in these moments you are recovering, but you are unconscious
kuro: what happened to the boys? know something?
hinoken: .....
Kuro: what's up?
hinoken: after you passed out, your teammates were released from the spell they were in, but ended up unconscious on the floor. Sensing that a large amount of magic was accumulating in one place, the elves sent several to investigate what was happening. as you know they found your companions....but they also saw your condition....they informed the elders about this so the decision was made to take your companions to the kingdom and find out their status
kuro: ....and what happened to me?
hinoken: .....right now you are in a cell, they have been in charge of healing you every day you have been passed out, in addition to being chained
kuro: they think i did that
hinoken: I don't think so, remember that they don't trust humans, also as soon as they saw that you had the holy sword with you they took pity on you
kuro: at least tamy is already in her home and the sword with the elves
hinoken: the first if it is like that...but the second not so much
kuro: why do you say that?
hinoken: apparently the sword can't be touched by anyone other than you.....as if someone had put some kind of spell on it
kuro: but he's not the same as you or he would have already appeared before me... right?
hinoken: I don't know that, we were created during the war, but despite that I don't know anything about it
kuro: also they were created for different reasons and are very different from each other
hinoken: all that remains is to wait for you to recover and wake up once and for all
kuro: do you think that will take too long
hinoken: just wait
Kuro then began to feel heavy eyes so little by little he began to close them until he saw nothing.
.

kuro.....kuro....KURO!
that scream had made him wake up ... but he was still in that place.
kuro: you woke me up...hinoken?
hinoken: that's right boy... apparently you're already cured and it won't be long before you wake up
kuro: and why don't I wake up in my "world" and that's it
hinoken: i'm just doing this to warn you that elves are probably not that friendly...so i hope you make the best decision
Without being able to respond, a great light began to mow Kuro down, making him unable to see anything... until...
.
.
.
his eyes began to get used to the light that was there.
so looking around she could see the place where she was herself. In front of him there are some iron bars, the place where he is made of stone with some writings on the four walls, he is in the middle of the room on a kind of stone table with his hands and ankles tied with shackles.
kuro: "so this is what you meant, but what are the things drawn on the walls and the shackles?"
hinoken: "it seems that this room is made so that all magic is nullified and the shackles have the same purpose"
kuro: "wow they are prepared for anything"
hinoken: "years of experience"
???: so you finally wake up
The boy immediately fixed his gaze on the bars where his voice came from. encountering a very strong looking elf with yellow hair and blue eyes. in which kuro can see the fury.
the only thing he could do was watch as the elf opened the cell and then entered.
???: You know....I hate humans....they are just beings that seek their own good....they do whatever it takes to get what they want. .....even put your pride aside
kuro: you know one thing ... you're right in everything you said .... seek the good of my companions .... I did everything necessary to take Tamy home. ...but I still haven't let go of my pride
???: DON'T TALK ABOUT HER AS IF YOU KNEW HER!...then you think you're very funny...let's see how much of what you say is true
then the elf moved one of his hands making the stone on which kuro lay ended in the shape of a cross and he stood up in front of that elf.
???: you don't know how much I wanted to do this
He raises his fist to hit Kuro....
???2: STOP! you can tell what you're doing with the prisoner
???: great old man....me alone.....alone
???3: Enough is enough...retreat
before the young elf could hit him... a thick and somewhat worn voice resounded throughout the room and then he saw an elf with white hair due to the passing of the years along with his body, as well as being accompanied by two others who seem older, though not as old as the first elf.
After stopping him and learning that he is an elder elf, Kuro understood the importance of the situation and then watched as the first elf left, leaving him with the other three.
???: Let me introduce myself... my name is silver and I am the wise elder of the elves... my companions only come for protection
Kuro: I don't think you need to protect yourself from me.
he knew he was in serious trouble, as the old man kept looking at him with those serious gray eyes.
Silver: It's kind of rude not to show up...boy
kuro: I'm very sorry...my name is kuro and as you can see I'm human
silver: tell me what are you doing here and why do you have the holy sword in your possession
kuro: "so they haven't noticed the dark sword"... I'm here for a mission given to me by the church father of the human kingdom.
silver: what is that mission
Kuro: Mainly to bring Tamy to his kingdom, but secretly he gave me the holy sword so I can give it to him and have it in his possession. before he falls into the wrong hands
silver: this is the man you mention, he has become famous for rescuing some of our race and other races
kuro: he told me that he had talked to someone who would help me ..... that's why I accepted the mission
Silver: So you're the human who can't use magic and the prey of that cold bastard... I'll let you go, you'll give me the sword and then I'll try to see what I can do for you at the next meeting.
kuro: It doesn't matter that I can't stay here. Knowing that Tamy is finally safe and with his people is more than enough. so if he at least he can get me out of here .... I swear I won't come back
silver: and what will you do with your condition
Kuro: .....
silver: sorry I can not do more
then the old man made a movement with one of his hands to then release kuro. that he immediately took the holy sword and then gave it to the old man.
To the surprise of those present, as soon as the old man took the sword, there was nothing strange, since previously when they tried to take it, it was enveloped in lightning, making it impossible for anyone to take it.
silver: answer me one thing... why do you do all this?
Kuro: I don't understand?
silver: you could have sold tamy and the swords to earn a lot....and still brought them here despite almost dying
kuro: that's because they are.....the most important thing in my life
The old man smiled at Kuro's words, and his companions were surprised at the boy's words.
silver: "now I will try to do everything in my power to help you"...now I will go to the meeting so I hope I can help you
Without more to say, the old man left the cell with his companions while Kuro bowed.
silver: call two members of the assassination squad and have them watch him
???: so that it doesn't do anything strange?
silver: ..........to protect him.......
