In a huge chamber, an orb was floating high above in the air and slightly beneath it 5 small orbs as big as human head were floating.
Below, many men and women numbering more than 100 were standing in a circle around the outer perimeter of the circle carved on the floor. All of them were wearing light blue robe with golden border.
One of those who was looking eldest with long bearded among them glance over all the people present to check for any kind of errors. When everything seemed correct he slightly nodded while stroking his long white beard several times.
"Begin casting," announced an old looking man.
All peoples closed their eyes and took a deep long breath, with this they began the chanting.
With every passing moment the air inside chamber became warmer, and the body of all people started emitting glowing white smoke.
That glowing smoke was absorbed by the orb highest above in the air, and the more smoke it absorbed the more it changes its color from white to red.
By the time peoples body stopped emitting white glowing smoke the orb was already illuminating redness of it all over the place.
When chanting stopped, within an orb a huge explosion produced nerve cracking noise however it doesn't break instead it emitted a red colored smoke which was then absorbed by the 5 small orbs.
The small orbs completely absorbed the smoke with in few seconds and started emitting white glow.
The four-orb started rotating around the center orb while projecting a beam below at surface.
The rotation of orb created an illusion of glowing cylinder.
After a while rotation stopped and inside the circle were 5 peoples.
A person who was observing this event from far went near with a friendly smile on his face.
“Welcome heroes you have been choose….”
word stuck in his mouth. He stood there with wide-open arms for a while before regaining his composure.
He glanced at the old, long bearded man, with questioning gaze but that man was equally stunned as him, but he still asked.
"Arch mage Erasmus can you please explain what is going on here"
But that old man instead gave him a puzzled look. He himself don't understand what wrong has happened.
The other man who asked Erasmus was a bit annoyed with his silence but he still doesn't dare to show it outside.
"I take my leave to report it to the Majesty," the man left with a bow to Erasmus.
Erasmus stared at disappearing back of that man who was unable to bare his fangs on Erasmus so went to king to report the incident so he could satiate his thirst for blood.
Erasmus could only shake his head on the naivety of a young man.
He threw the tantrum of a young man behind his head and once again rummaged his brain for answer on what went wrong, that one of summoned hero is a baby.
He noticed that summoned heroes looking confused and then it struck to his mind that the prime minister stopped in a midway of introduction so they might be a bit confused he first decided to address the hero and then later he will think about the problems.
" Carter take the baby to another room and get some servant to take care of him, " he ordered one of his disciples while approaching to heroes.
" welcome heroes the goddess have chosen you for a noble mission of protecting the humans from menace of demon king. I arch mage of Yonait empire welcome you heroes." said Erasmus in loud and cheerful voice.
however, what he got in response from summoned hero was silence.
He could understand that they might be feeling a bit confused at being sent to another world without their acknowledgement.
So, he thought of giving them a history lecture of their world.
The lecture begins with an army of demons massacring a small village near the holy river of Demus. Looting house that came in their sight, slaughtering men, women even children who came in range of their sharp halberd, long as an average man.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
But this was not their first manslaughter. The army of demons which started their march from the palace of a demon king in the east, to the human kingdoms in the west slaughtered each and every human that came in their path, and by now it could be said that they were inside the human territory so, the number humans they have killed would be countless by now.
It won't be wrong to say, humans were not fighting to win the war they were fighting to survive one more day before whole humankind goes extinct, and to stop them from stating them in demon children fairy tale as a creature who eats the children who don't go to sleep on time.
That’s what they were fighting for however in reality it seems nothing more than a mere wish, a wish that cannot be fulfilled.
When all door for humanities survival seemed closed. A miracle occurred. A Goddess descended from sky making her way through dark clouds formed from the slaughter of millions of human souls. She called for the brave warriors who will end the terror of demon king.
"Warriors who will put an end to the massacre of a demon army Warriors who will defeat the demon warriors who will lead the humankind. I Goddess of peace, Amery, summons you "
With the summon of Goddess Amery, 5 brave warriors descended from the sky, piercing through clouds.
They fought with an entire army of demon king and came victorious. They fought with demon king and came victorious. They lead humanity and made them the ruler of the land.
With their work completed 5 warriors and the goddess Amery ascended to the heaven, but before leaving, goddess Amery made 3 structures at three corners of the continent.
"My precious children whenever shall humanities face calamity they shall be used to summon 5 warriors to put an end to the menace."
With these last words goddess once again ascended to heaven.
"and right now, once again demon king is raising his head and to protect the humanity, we require you 5 heroes. The 5 great warriors of goddess Amery."
With this history lecture end and we returns to present time.
All 5, now 4 heroes, after taking the baby away, listened to whole story from beginning to end.
And the first reply that came from one of them was
"I don't know any goddess Amery. I'm just a normal school girl how could you except me to fight DEMONS! I want to call my lawyer," the girl complained to Erasmus while looking a bit terrified with a mention of fighting demon. After all they are not told to be friendly guys in her world.
But someone was misunderstanding it
"I have seen many species of beasts with different classes like attack type, support type, fusion type and many others but never heard of a monster named lawyer which requires permissions of other to be called," said Erasmus with curiosity aroused with a new species of monster named lawyer.
"You old bastard don't fuck with me.... 'sobs' I wanna 'sobs' go home 'sobs'"
He understood he misunderstood something and there was meaning in apologizing right now so for now he decided them to send them to their room for a rest.
"You all might need some time to understand the situation so for now go and have a rest. My disciple will show you all your room," said Erasmus, ordering disciples with his eyes action.
Disciples came forward to take them to their room which was readied before they were even summoned.
"Please follow us respected heroes we will take you to your assigned rooms."
Four of them followed Erasmus disciples but before they could they could exit chamber. A soldier with a golden armor, Herald, entered in and notified all presents in especially loud voice with a natural echo "His and her majesty will arrive shortly"
By the time he said it. The king and queen were at the doorstep of the room. Herald swiftly moved aside for their path.
All bowed to greet King and queen of empire Yonait, except four heroes, lacking in courtesy practiced in this world however they soon followed suit with the girl who was crying to be the last to do.
"Rise," said king which was enough to prove his majestic aura that could only come from the blood of royalty.
The king approached Erasmus
"Arch mage Erasmus show me that baby "
"As you command your majesty"
Erasmus lead them to a separate room.
All present bowed to king but this time he doesn't commanded them to rise. He just approached to one of an old servant who was holding and told her to show him that baby. The servant raised her hand to hand over baby to king. King gave her threatening gaze.
His gaze was quite terrifying for an old lady. She doesn't understand what she done wrong, she thought for a bit and realized what might be the cause. The thought of the cause surprised her. She changed her from the woman handing over the baby to the woman showcasing a baby to king as if he was the buys who has come to buy phone and old lady was showing her the phone(baby) which was on her hand.
There was nothing special about that baby except the tattoo on his forehead.
"What is this tattoo on his forehead arch mage Erasmus?" Asked king Renant while trying to study the tattoo.
"We don't know your majesty"
"What is the use of having a baby. We need a warrior. Ulric dispose of this baby," ordered on of his trusted kings guard knight.
"As you command"
Ulric came toward the baby to take him but Erasmus stopped him
"Wait your majesty. This is not a wise decision."
"What do you want to say Arch mage I'm not a wise ruler?"
"No, your majesty I'm saying we should nurture this baby. The other 4 heroes came from another world and they have their own sense of world but this is a baby. We could teach him whatever he wants. We could make great warrior out of him."
The king was thinking about Erasmus suggestion when queen Ayleth interjected
"Arch mage Erasmus is right. We should nurture him well. He can become a loyal soldier if nurtured correctly and till than we could replace sword hero with another person.... How about Alice. She is a talented girl. She could replace hero."
King agreed to what queen said without any second thought. He had great trust on her.
Next day King called one of his general, Rowan, he was a great strategist and a most fearsome warrior. King want to give him the baby hero to raise, so he could make him a great sword hero, but Rowan thought bit different than King.
