-Zuri POV-
I woke up with a jump. I was in my room why? I must had blank out during the battle but why? What happen to Silas? Karl must had found someone to rescue us. Mostly why did I became a hero? What cause it? and what was that voice? Mother walk in the at that time. She was crying when she saw me awake.
"Zuri your awake." (Mother)
"Mom I was scared, but I stood strong for Karl. In the end I let Silas down." (Zuri)
"I was told everything by Silas' grandpa, Hero. Listen after a day of rest you be leaving here. To take the Hero Satoshi's body to Vishnu so it can be return to the family. Then you will leave for Erde." (Mother)
"What why mom" (Zuri)
"I have to stay for the store but the Elven Hero can't remain on earth. I am not going to have you argue bout. The armor and weapon of the Man Hero was remove from the body. It will be taken with."
"Mom tell me what happen after I fail." (Zuri)
"hmm...Silas' grandpa will tell you later now rest please." (Mother)
"I can't I..." (Zuri)
"Yes you will please let me act like a mother for a few more minutes" (Mother)
"I understand." (Zuri)
Mother was still crying as she left the room. She was hiding something, why would Silas' grandpa tell wouldn't Karl or Silas came. No they can't be...I am a failure of a hero. I had to know so I got dress and jump out the window. Running as fast as I can.
Throughout the village I could hear hummer on wood. They were repairing the village from the attack. With my sharp ears I could hear the villages talk to eachother. Things like the elven child was going to leave. The elf became a hero. And this attack on the village was Karl's fault.
I made it to the road that lead to the inn. As I walk down it a wagon was coming from in direction of the inn. It most like he was droping off supplies to the rebuild. I arrive at the inn and Silas grandpa was standing there. He may had seen that people from the wagon off.
"Hey there Zuri what are you doing." (Grandpa)
"Old human where Silas, where is Karl?" (Zuri)
"I was kick out for the time being. Take a walk with me. I will tell you when we get there" (Grandpa)
"You better answer me there" (Zuri)
We walk for sometime with out a word. The old man started walk to the nearby woods behind the inn. I could tell where we were going to Karl favorite spot. Why are we going there? Why isn't anyone answering any my questions? Then I look at the Oak tree in front of us. My mood turn sour cause underneath was a gravestone. I drop to my knee in tears.
"Look like this is the place." (Grandpa)
"Wha-wha-what are you talking bout old human?" (Zuri)
"After you collapse a hidden bellua attack Silas. Karl didn't went off looking for help. She jump into the way and there. Silas was torn up by it so he can't face you. Silas wrote this for you" (Grandpa)
The old human drop a letter to the ground. I pick it up and start to read.
'Zuri I will not apologize on what happen or on leaving without telling you anything. Karl got in the way of an attack that was met to kill me. She was a no one in this town her body would have just went to the mass grave to be burn. I take it and made this grave. The place that we had first met.
She was quite a interesting one. Shy, weak, scared, no sense of direction, unsure, but she was determine to stay. I knew how she feel about me. I just could not feel nor comprehend it at this time. I read her paper at the school I agree with three of us would had stay together to the end be the best. Either gender you turn out to be we would share.
As you know I'm a child of that hero. The family that is seen as legitimate are the ones in Vishnu. I heard that you are going to see my half-sister. I have a letter for if you please take it without looking at it. If you are luck and she isn't still mad at me. She will train and help you as a hero.Those days will not return I will cause trouble if I stay. We will never met aging I hate the fate of the gods.
Zuri you are now one of the seven heroes, and I turn out to be one of the seven villains. That why I'm not here telling you this myself. If we ever met aging it will be as enemies. Not cause we want to be but how fate determined to be. Train hard so the Demon Lords can't stand a chance of winning. Don't be manipulated by the governments. Make a party of trustworthy folks. More of all make some new friends don't let this hold you back.'
I cry my hardest ever for the friends lost and future that would never be. The old human was just stare at the grave then touch the dirt. Then he snicker
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"That kid think he could pull the wool over my eyes." (Grandpa)
"Old human your saying that this grave is a fake" (Zuri)
"Look like it I was suspicious when he return to the home. Then the sneaking around at night. I caught him turning the houses he bought into belluas." (Grandpa)
"What you are telling me he turn Karl into a undead bellua." (Zuri)
"Mostly he did turn her into a bellua then put a symbol on her turning her in to Tame Beast" (Grandpa)
"Would she be the same" (Zuri)
"I don't know. Silas wouldn't keep the undead Karl if she wasn't." (Grandpa)
"Then she's happy. I will do what Silas say and get stronger only to beat him to death cause of the tears he made me waste" (Zuri)
"That's fine....Wait" (Grandpa)
The old human kick the tomestone in half. There was a hidden apartment inside the tomestone. Inside was a latter writen by Karl and a ring. So I read it.
'Zuri, I don't know if you are going to read this or not. I'm writing this while Silas is working. His going to gave me a new life as a Tame Beast. Silas say I will be fifth to ninth rank. Don't hurt Silas over this or I have to fight you. He ask me if I want to do this. I can't say to much bout him but his secret side is amazing.
You are my best friend I will miss you. I will miss Silas' family that treated me as a member. I won't miss this village the people were mean to us and I wasn't even born here. I wish I could see you but I will be asleep for a few days. Hehe it may not be marriage but I will be his.
Silas told me you are now one of the seven heroes. You become one of the few known that are part of history. We may end up running into eachother cause his new plan is to travel to the elven world. It will be some time after the next five years. He's looking for something there and a few other worlds.
Silas' P.S. I put her letter into the tomestone just incase you found out. The storage ring that with this letter have eleven armor, an elf's made weapon, and some enchanted accessories. All are top grade gear for a beginning hero needs.
The accessories are an amulet with

Last is the fighting gear, the armor metal is a mixer of wyvern bones, mithril, & pyrite. The armor set that was cover with a transparent Espirite's flesh. Chestplate have
The weapon may look like a small metal rod it have
"That guy even a letter from Karl he had to be in it." (Zuri)
"I won't ask but it sound like Karl is alive." (Grandpa)
"Yeah and she with SIlas. The ring is full of equipment to fight with from Silas. Silas write you had a letter for the sister. Thank you old human for your help." (Zuri)
"This is the letter he wanted to be sent and this this one is from Sena to the mother." (Grandpa)
"I will get it there with the body and gear of the last hero." (Zuri)
"We are glad you became friend with Silas. They will set you off in the morning. I'm the one that will be in the couch leading the horses." (Grandpa)
"I am great full old human" (Zuri)
"Can you stop calling me old human. Grandpa or name would work." (Grandpa)
"I don't want to use grandpa and your name is to formal. Old human is great respect from us to elder humans. Elder are treated with more influence then a king" (Zuri)
"I don't like it but I will go with that." (Grandpa)
I got up then walk back with him. Sena walk out to greet me while stareing at the old human. It was clear she been crying for the last hour. They say their good-byes then walk back inside I could hear some yelling. She was still upset with him for letting Silas leave.
I walk down the road back home. That bastard made me believe Karl was dead. There was a hidden bellua that attack them while I was out. I'm the reason that I lost my friends some hero I turn out to be. Silas think his half-sister can make me into a better Hero. Silas never left this village so why would she hate him.
The sun was setting as I open the door of the house. As I walk mother was staring at me upset. I know I sneak out of the house just as I woke up. I needed to get some answers so sorry mom. She didn't had to say anything I walk over to the table so she can start talking to me. Mother sit on the otherside of the table.
"You left your room without telling me" (Mother)
"Sorry mom I needed some answers from the old human" (Zuri)
"I just wanted to spend our last day together" (Mother)
"I'm here now let have some parent-child time" (Zuri)
"That sound great" (Mother)
The both of us having dinner. Then spend the night talking about the past. It was late at night when we went to sleep. In the morning I dress in the gear that Silas give me. With the rings on my fingers, the dress was a brown color, the pants were a red-yellow, silver gloves, black boots, and the armor had heavy rust color.
The wagon to Vishnu was ready to leave. The old human was in front with the casket in the back. I'm determine to see Silas' half-sister if it going to help me. Silas' family was seeing me off with mother. I went over to them to say my byes. There was a lot of tears. I got on to the wagon and we set off.
"When we reach Vishnu I will trade wagons with a old friend. He will take you rest of the way" (Silas' Grandpa)
"You can't enter Vishnu for some reason" (Zuri)
"No thats not why. When Silas was born I wanted the hero's family to care for him. She rejected and I thank I'm not welcome back. It was to have him properly rise as a fighter better then I can." (Silas' Grandpa)
"I'm glad she rejected even if it turn out this way." (Zuri)
"Ahahaa me too" (Silas' Grandpa)
