The Inn and True Hero

The night air was chilly as they began to walk to the inn, “It is nice

here” the cold air kept her awake and alert “I assume you are

hungry ?” Xhella nodded to him as she spoke. Melvin grabbed her by

the hand and walked her to the bar and made her sit. “Stay “ he

was melancholic and unsure of what he was going to do, “Can I get

two rooms?” he asked the inn keep. “I am sorry young man there's

only one room left, Seeming as if there were strangely more Warriors from

the Dragons land what is the name of it, Oh Yeah Dragitti. “ he nods

“Seems they are forming a rebellion Apparently a war between the

north and south” he paused looking at him and then at Xhella. “Isn't

their women beautiful?” Melvin blushed. “This one was by the River

she lost her Memories and only remembers slight things here and there.

about herself.” an exhausted sigh left Melvin’s lip and looked to

the barkeep, “Can we at least get two beds in that room?” the bar

keep laughed heartily at him “It is just a double bed, Plus what if

she got lost she would barely know where she is.” he smirked

“Isn’t that what hero's like you do protect the Cute

princess?” he teased as he nudged his shoulder “Alright

Alright here take your gold for the room.” Melvin held his face at

the thought of them sharing a room and possibly making Xhella

uncomfortable. He placed his room and grabbed the key and thinking he

found out good information already. Melvin sits next to Xhella as

she was drinking water waiting for him to order “So what did the

barkeep says Melvin?” she smiled playfully knowing that men talk

from the way, Melvin’s and the barkeep's body language read. Melvin

wore a red embarrassed face as he tried to reply knowing that

with her horns, she probably heard the whole conversation. “Well we

are going to share the room.”, he chuckled awkwardly “Well all is

fine Plus l have a feeling you will want to protect this princess

hero.” she teased smirking look up at him. A click of his tongue hit

his lips, “So you heard” he blushed to scratch his head. She

chuckled “I am sure once I remember where and who I am exactly I

will pay you handsomely.” she pointed at her necklace. “After all

this is worth something it just looks like it belongs to someone

important.” They sat at the bar and ordered food, they had steak

and potatoes and he told her of his perilous problems in his

adventuring carrier. “Hahaha well, that is what happens when you do

something destructive in town, making a simple delivery.” Melvin

laughed more comfortably than the earlier conversations were going

they had warmed up in the heat of a friendly inn. “Xhella should we

head up to turn in for the night.” a glistened sparkle in her eye

“Sure, just I get the covers.” she laughed and teased him about

sharing a room. It was as if she never had a fun conversation in her

life or so it seemed. Turning in for the night they slept side by

side each having one cover a piece.

It was morning dawn and they had woke up and headed down the stairs it was

oddly quiet as they step down the creaking steps, “Morning?”

Melvin spoke trying to have someone make a scurry the quietness was

deafening, Anyone could hear their clanking boots. Xhella had

stepped ahead of Melvin being impatient, she was frozen in time for mere

moments. “What's happening down here” her voice cracking and

shaking, a gang of men wherein the Inn swords pointed bows drawn, and

Staffs Wielded against everyone eating, it looked like they were

there early morning as some of the workers' legs were shaking in

exhaustion.” WHO ARE YOU! YOU ARE COMING WITH US!” the leader of

the gang said in a devious tone. “I hear they looking for A TRASH

LIKE YOU !” A loud scary manly voice. Xhella stepped back and hit

Melvin and he held her trying to comfort her. There stood Melvin's

sword and staff equipped looking like a knight in shining Armour

ready to take her problems on like a true hero always there when in

need.
