CHAPTER 4: A Hero?

...I head back to the House of Hisfhulmthon and head to the room i am into. I grab the quil and a piece of paper. I wrote ,...

......" Drake i know that this a little favor but for me its not. You are a Duke and lately known as my cousin. I have so many question running in my mind. My family is needing a finance. I hope you understand. Please take care of my sister for a little while and protect her. I trusted you and don't worry i will be somewhere near the Royal Capital. Tell Lily that i am going somewhere and bring back a surprise. Don't put to much pressure to her please. She might be silly but her magic is uncontrollable. I will be back in 2 or 3 days i am not sure what comes after. I promise I'll be back.. and i hope you will take care of her and the others. And also.. Take care.. I will entrust my precious to Lily.."......

...- YunYun "...

...I feel scared and anxious at the same time. If i manage to get the Eiphium Wolf i will be able to send money to Mother and Father. I have a great plan for my family. After this Quest, i will make a novel that will be easily attract readers. The same as my old life before. But i guess that won't be easy. For my body is build in battle while my soul is build for harmless things....

...I put the quil down and leave the paper on the table with a necklace.. Wait.. When did i have this necklace? I have this on my past life. Its a costom made necklace with 3 Carat of gold. Well i am kinda rich before. Since its custom made there is no really a specific name on it. It was inspired to the manga i read before but its different. Its a custom made flower i drew i saw in my dream. Yes, It was the Eiphium that i called. I call the Necklace "Eiphium Pendant". Even though it looks like a flower but the way its constructed is very different. The 3rd petal can be taken off and the bottom petal had a opening where the 3rd petal can be inserted in. This will unlock the spere in the center where the rarest pearl kept in. I found it once i was a little boy. Remembering this Necklace means a lot to me. And i know i can entrust it to Lily. I entrust it too to Lilac before....

...I sighed and bring out another Cover all coat and set off. I used the window to make an exit. Even though its not very proper i have no choice. Guards are everywhere i might get caught. Royals and Guests cannot go out in the middle of the night. I hope this will fine and Lily will be alright. Jumping through the wall and falling to a pile of Leaf. I stood up and head out immidently. As i remember there is a little cave near here there where materials hiding. I kept it there for bounty. I guess those memories are very useful. I look around and spotted the little cave under the hill. I head inside and alot of things are here....

...One thing that is stuck in my mind is what does the Wolf look like?.. The only one thing i know is 2 horn wolf. What does that Eiphium had to do with it? I need to head back at the bounty and ask Miss Rill about the other description. I found the entrance to the hide out and open the door with a magic locked door. I press the lock and a needle pock me and bleed. The lock open and i get inside. At first i look around and gather what i will need to catch it. I hope this won't be hard. I don't like hard works but i work hard. That sounds weird in my head nevermind. I look around the cave and saw a curtain hiding a big dark space. I light up another lantern and approached the curtains and slide it on the both side. I take the lantern and light up the bigger lantern i spotted at the ceiling. It light the whole space. I look at the side still looking up and saw. A.. Two.. Uhm. Two horned.. Wolf? Its black in color.. And its head had a mark the same i describe the Eiphium. Its 8 petaled pointy flower mark on his head. Its very huge, i don't remember anything catching and keeping a beast....

...I stood there in silence where we eye contact. I let out a confused word and broke the silence. The beast shinks and a glowing dots on his fur shine bright. He has the size of an ordinary wolf but still staring at me. I don't know what is going on and its hard to process. Does it have a name? What did i call this guy? And i ask the stupidest question i ask to a wolf....

Yunmei: What's ...your name?

......As I expected it didn't responds just stares at me. I sat down and place the small lantern down and calls him over. I don't know what to call him. But i wanna try on something maybe it will work.......

Yunmei: Uhm.. I am not really sure about your name but.. are you.. Eiphium?

......As i said Eiphium his ears went up and jumped at me. He look so happy. He is a boy.. I lately noticed that. He is rubbing is head to my neck and broad shoulder. His tail is wagging around so aggressively. But in the same time i am still confused yet happy. Then i heard whines as he rest his head to my shoulder. I think he misses me lot. How long have i locked him here. I think i need to set him free but. It seems that he is very close to me. I think i need to ask him first. ......

Yunmei: Uh.. Eiphium.. Do you want to go back in the forest?

Eiphi: *whines*

Yunmei: Do you wanna stay?

Eiphi: *howls*

Yunmei: *chunckles* Alright, Alright.. I didn't thought that it will be easy to find you. Let's go in the Bounty hut and claim gold and get you officially. Alright?

Eiphi: *howls*

Yunmei: Alright.. I think Lily will like you too.

Eiphi: *small bark*

Yunmei: You bark! Its very Rare for a wolf to bark!

...Eiphi.. That's what i am just gonna call him from now on. He tugs me and lead me to the bookshelf. There are a pile of bounty papers. Eiphi took a specific paper that i could tell that its a small kid's writing. Written "help". I ask where did he get this and leads me outside. He look to a direction and saw a small unnoticeable tracks. I followed the Tracks with Eiphi. ......

...It is indeed a long track, i look at my side and saw Eiphi bowed down in his original size. He whimpers to me and pushing me from my legs making me fall to him. I get it now. I rubbed his head with both of my arms and sat on. He rise up and began to run to the tracks. I am holding to him firmly. Well surprisingly he is very steady. He stops for a couple of times as he sniffs the scent the paper had. The paper is ordinary but its kind of a burned. After a couple of minutes we spotted a burning large village. I gasped as i visioned something to my village. I feel upset and i could tell Eiphi noticed it too. I put on my mask and removed the arm gauntlet to my upper arm and move it down and let my long sleeves fall. I told Eiphi to go to the village. He run to the Village and made myself Ready....

...----------------...

...// Meanwhile //...

...The Village is burning. Its hard to see the houses because of the smokes. In the middle of the village there locates the Statue of The great hero of Terroids. All of the villagers are gathered in the center. The head of the village is lying down bleeding badly. The bandits are raiding the whole village. The villagers are surrounded by the Bandits....

Chief: Where is the Pearl?

Mayor: N-Ne.. -ver.. I will not-.. Tell-.. You! You disgusting-. People!-.. *coughed*

Chief: You are making this hard.. Its either you tell me or you die in front of your people? Aye?.. You know its very easy to say..

Mayor: I-... -Told you!- *coughes*... I will-. Never.. T-ell you-.. That pearl!- Is- From the.. Great- Hero of the.. Kingdom-.. This- Village is in charge-.. Of KEEPING IT SAFE!! *Coughing*

Lei: *cries* Papa! Stop now! Just tell them where is it! I don't wanna lose you Papa!

Mayor: I might-.. B-e.. A new-. Mayor.. But-.. I am not- gonna be-.. A weak!- *coughing*

Yunmei: ' He did too much. His magic is almost drain. I think its time for me to step in..' Eiphi..

......Yunmei signaled Eiphi to step in to the scene. A great howl triggered the whole village and felt scared. Footsteps coming from the back of the Chief. The black smokes are covering the whole place. Everyone look carefully at the black smoke where the footsteps coming from. After a moment a Bright glowing eyes and a mark of the Eiphium glows brighter as it approaches. ......

Chief: WHO IS THERE!!!???

Man 1: CHIEF!! A-A-A MONS-TER! ITS A BEAST! RUN!

Eiphi: *Howl*

......Every bandit kneeled down and stayed still at the same place. The whole place have turn into a silence. The glowing light have comes out of smoke. A large beast have come and approached. They're stuttering over their words not knowing what they will say. A roar have broken the silence, the outlaws screams and tries to flee. For they are very late, one of the unit mages have comes and captured them....

......While capturing the crooks, The Great Unit mages have come along with their Captains. The AE1 unit or also known as the " First Petal Unit ". They are popular because if their performance. The Great Sage have sent them here and put out the fire. Yunmei is amazed, Only one person can already put out the Fire by herself. She is indeed powerful, a great member from a great Unit. The people in town thanked the Unit Mages. But then as Yunmei and Eiphi will make their exit. The captain of the First Petal Unit have blocked their way. ......

Azura: Traveller..

Yunmei: Hmn?

Azura: I thank you for rescuing the Civilians while we haven't arrived yet. I owe you the life of the civilians.

Mayor: W-Wait! *coughed*

Yunmei: Ah!-.. *take out medicine* Here.. This will help..

Mayor: Thank you.. *drank*.. Please.. May we know your name?

Yunmei: My name isn't necessary..

Mayor: But... I saw you are riding a Mythical Beast! A wolf that have no records.. At least let us know what is that wolf..

Yunmei: I have to go.. *stood up and walks back*

Mayor: Please! We owe you our lives!

......Yunmei made his way out of the village. He patted Azure's shoulder and never turn. Eiphi jumped out from Yunmei's cloak and transformed in his original size. Yunmei jumped on Eiphi's head and sat. He began to walk out in the mist and vanishes on their sight. Azure shooked and stood in silence they cannot believe a wolf in the Bounty Hut has been found....

Azure: The Guardian.. Had descended from the Heavens..

Sage 1: Captain Azure.. Shall i contact the Great sage? and Great Mage?

Azure: Save it for the next meeting.. Everyone! Do not tell this to anyone! The Guardian needs to be protected from the crowd! It needs a low profile! Mika..

Mika: Yes.. Troop 1! Give the bandits the Red Scorpion Grasses.. That way they will be able to forget about this..

Troop 1: Understood!

Mika: Captain.. Are you sure... The Guardian in the Myths?

Azure: The Legends are true Mika.. They might be hard to express but since a lot of eyes have seen the Guardians.. It is the truth we have a lot of witnesses..

Mika: Deir Have captured a small scene..

Azure: Another proof, You and Deir will join me at the Meeting today... Make sure so words will spread out..

Mika: Understood...

......Yunmei is heading back to the cave to leave the things he get from there.. He looked at the skies, The colors are changing bright. He then pat Eiphi's head and sighed.......

Yunmei: Eiphi.. I hope this life would be great... I'll buy you first class meat once we get our reward..

......Eiphi Howls in agreement and excitement in the same time. Its been a long time since Eiphi have gone outside the cave and never eat other meat except for Dire Deers.......

...The sun have peaked the out the mountains. A new day have comes, adventures and past memories to unlock.....
