Chapter 3: Guardian

The knights has reached the village. The guards stopped them.

A guard opened his mouth "Why does the Royal Knights visiting our Village?"

A Royal knight that is riding a horse replied, "We are here to eliminate Demons that are lurking around this area. We are making this village our base."

"Huh? Are you kidding me? You have never even helped this village once and now you suddenly came here and saying your going to make this village your base?"

"Step away now or I'm going to kill you." The knight grabbed his sword and was getting ready to cut the guard.

The guard also grabbed his sword.

They were about to unleash an attack then the Captain of the knights and the Leader of the Guards stood up and stopped the quarrel.

The Leader of the Guards smiled at the knights and said, "Now, now, please don't fight." He looked at the knights and bowed his head then introduced himself, " I am Giryu, the leader of the guards at Brysver Village, pleased to meet you."

The captain opened his mouth, "I am Gerald, the captain of the 3rd Division of the Royal Knights. Can you let us enter the Village? We are not here to make this village our base. We're going to be staying here for a while."

"We will, but you have to wait until our chief comes here."

"The Prince of the Kingdom is here with us. Are you going to make him wait?"

"Well, rules are rules. Im this village we follow equality om different races."

Gerald peeked inside and saw a lot of people from different races.

"Can you understand now?" Giryu added.

"Fine, we're going to wait for 10 minutes, and if your chief will fail to arrive until 10 minutes, you're going to see blood."

"Thank you, Mr. Knight." Giryu looked at them with a cunning smile.

The knight's vein bulged and said, "Stop smiling like that, it's pissing me off. I might just cut off your head rught now."

"Ho, I'd like to see you try." Giryu said with a provoking smile.

Gerald shrugged his words and went to the prince. "Your Highness, we need to wait for the chief to enter the Village. So please bear with their rules for now."

The prince opened the small window in the carriage and said, "What? Did you tell them that I'm here?"

"Yes, but they believe in social equality. I would like to just kill them but..."

"You won't stand a chance. The reason why this village is still standing even thought there many monsters around this area is no solely because of him. Because everyone in this Village are strong."

"..."

"Well then, if that's what they want. Then we'll wait.

~~~~~~

Elfie and Shin is standing in the front yard of their house. They are looking at each other.

"What am I? That... I don't know."

Suddenly, a guard appeared in front of their house. "Hello, Shin. Where's the Chief?"

"Dad's inside. Wait I'll call him."

Shin rushed inside and Elfie followed him. He found Roger sitting in the kitchen talking with Zeff.

Shin looked at them and opened his mouth, "Dad, Mr. Hanz is looking for you."

"Hmm?" Roger stood up from his seat and went outside.

Shin is still thinking about their conversation with Elfie. Shin shrugged it off and looked at his father, "Dad, is there something wrong?"

"Just stay here." Roger looked at Ariel and Ariel nodded.

Ariel opened her mouth, "Shin, stay here for now, your dad is going on a 'business'."

Shin felt that something is going on but he just nodded.

Roger went out and saw the Hanz waiting outside.

Hanz saluted and was about to open his mouth but Roger stopped him and just walked towards the direction of the gate.

Hanz looked at Roger and saw Roger looking tensed.

Hanz didn't dare to say anything.

~~~~~~

He's here. He arrived faster than I thought.

I have arrived and saw some knights and a carriage outside the gate. All of the guards saluted me and walked passed them. The knights and the guards are tensed by my presence except the two, Giryu snd Gerald.

Gerald, he's gotten stronger for the past 5 years.

I looked at the knights and opened my mouth and spreads my arms, "Welcome to my village."

No one replied. They don't want to show respect to me? Or so I thought. They were afraid of my presence. Gerald talked, "Lord Roger, it's been a while."

"You're still showing honorifics towards me? That's not so like you Gerald."

Gerald shrugged my words and said, "His highness is waiting, are you going to make us stay outside?"

I looked at the guards and said, "Let them in. You, follow me."

I went to the Town Hall.

~~~~~

I was sitting in the meeting room and someone went inside. The prince of the Shyva Kingdom.

"Long time no see, Little Brother."

Yes, he is my older brother Jerry Shyva the Firrst prince of the Shyva Kingdom. And I am a Royalty.

"Just cut to the chase."

"Come back to the Kingdom. This place is not safe anymore."

"Is that supposed to be a joke? You came here with an army and just here to tell me to come back?"

"The demons are about to invade the Human Realm. The Kingdom needs your power."

"I'm not coming back."

"Roger. Look, I'm just thinking about the safety of mg little brother."

Huh? Is this guy serious? Showing sympathy towards me? I'm going to cry.

I stood up and looked at Jerry, "Have you forgotten who I am? I am the Guardian of Humanity. I'm going to protect everyone in this Village."

Jerry looked at Roger with a serious eyes, "Just listen to me. I know you are strong but the 'old hag' saw your fate."

"Fate? Old woman Barbara peeked at my fate?"

"Yes. You're going to die"

~~~~~~

Shin is eating with everyone but is still thinking about their conversation with Elfie and about his father.

I am thinking too much. There so many things going on now. Ugh! And why is it so silent?

Ariel opened her mouth, "Shin, you know about the old man in the west right?"

"Ahh, yes. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing."

Silence returned.

They finished and Shin went to his room and locked his door. As he was laying down reading a book, someone spoke to him. [Hello, son of a demon.]

He looked at the person who spoke and summoned the Demon Slaying Sword. "Who are you? How did you enter my room?"

The person is wearing a torn hood and there is a black smoke emitting its body.

[I am good person. Don't hurt me.]

"Huh? You look shady. You, are you a demon?"

[Am I? Hahaha]

Did this demon just call me the 'son of a demon'? What's going on?

~~~~~

At the same time in the Shyva Kingdom...

I am John Shyva, the Third Prince of the Shyva Kingdom. My father is the second prince, Roger Shyva. And now, why is there an Angel here thay suddenly appeared in front of me?

The Angel opened its mouth, [Hello there, Son of an Angel.[

Son of an Angel? Wait! If an Angel is telling me that I'm a son of an Angel. Then, father is an Angel? Now it makes sense why he is called the Guardian of Humanity.

I looked at Angel in front of me and she is smiling.

"Why are you smiling?

[You look adorable.]

"Huh?" I blushed and looked away.

[I'm going to cut to the chase, John Shyva, Son of Roger Shyva and Ariel. Do you want to become a Guardian?]

Guardian? Isn't that just like father? A guardian? I opened my mouth with excitement, "Yes! I wanna become a guardian too!"

The Angel smiled, [Good, John Shyva. I'll give you a task. Train and become stronger and fight against evil beings. I will return if you met the requirements of a Guardian.]

I nodded and the Angel disappeared.

I need to become stronger to become a guardian. I will train harder than anyone else.

~~~~~

I looked at the demon in front of me and asked, "Son of a demon?"

[Yes. Didn't you notice it? You were chosen by a Great Demon Sword. Only a demon can wield it.]

I unleashed the sword and asked the demon, "Why are you here?"

[You seemed to have calmed down, It's so hard yo conceal my presence since 'she' is here. Now then, Shin Shyva, do you want to become a guardian?]

My eyes widened after hearing those words. Guardian? Just like father? I smile and said, "No thanks!"

[Huh? Why? Don't you want to become stronger? A Guardian?]

"Well, I want to have my own way, and that seems to be a pain in the ass."

[You! The kid in the kingdom has already accepted the offer and yet you! HAHAHHAHA. You're really like your father.]

The demon unleashed his presence and everyone in the house has felt it, Mother rushed into my room and broke my door. She saw the demon and fire appeared in her hands. Her eyes are filled with bloodlust after seeing the demon. Ariel attacked the demon and the demon dodged it.

[Woah! Calm down, Killing Machine! I barely manage to dodge your attack. You as crazy as ever. HAHAHAHA]

"What are you doing to my son!?"

[I was just talking to him. You know clearly that I'm not bad and yet you still attacked me.]

"I can't help wanting to eradicate you."

[ HAHA, Insane woman. Now then, Shim Shyva, too vad, you can't protect your parents.]

The demon disappeared, and my mother hugged me.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, mother."

"Thank goodness."

The demon said, I can't protect my parents. What's going on? I looked at mother and asked her. "Mother, what's really going on?"

Mother said, "I'm sorry." and hugged me tighter.

I looked at the two person standing st the door looked surprised.

Zeff talked, "That demon.. He's clearly stronger than the demon that attacked the Village."

I looked at mother and asked, "You seem to know each other. Who is that?

"He is a demon from the Yin and Yang, they balance the Three Realms. Each of the members in that organization is strong. In every generation, they find a human that have a mixed blood of a demon or an angel."

"Is that dad, chosen too? That's why he is called the 'Guardian of Humanity'?"

"Yes, but he refused."

... I see."

"Why?"

"Nothing."

~~~~~

Jerry is looking at Roger and he opened his mouth, "You're going to regret it."

"I would regret nothing. My life will be nothing compared to the lives of these people. I will protect them."

"You can't do that."

"Yes, I will. Have you forgotten who I am?"

"There will be sacrifices."

"The only sacrifice will be me."

"Are you really eager to die?"

Roger did not reply. Instead, he looked outside the window.

After some thinking, Roger opened his mouth, "Hey, Jerry."

"What is it?"

"Take my son to the Castle."

"Why? Your other kid is already a handful fellow."

"This kid's different."

Jerry looked at Roger's serious eyes. Jerry said, "Fine, on one condition."

"Condition?"

"You must live."

"Are you an idiot? Barbara's fate reader has never been wrong. There's no way I will live. The enemy right now is a.."

"Demon lord. I know." Jerry interrupted Roger's words.

Roger looked at Jerry. Jerry said, "We will go back to the capital tomorrow, I will take you kid by the morning."

~~~~~

Everyone has left Shin's room except Elfie. Shin opened his mouth, "I have confirmed my identity, I am a demon."

Elfie doesn't look surprised. She said, "Then you would be a good demon. I put my familiar in your father's clothes and heard their conversation with the visitor."

"What? You have something like that?"

"Mhmm. A war between demons and humans will occur in the future."

Elfie told everything to Shin except for his status, and even the matter that they will give Shin to Jerry.

Shin is thinking, "I see. Then I will train myself. Don't tell anyone, I will go to the forest and train myself."

"What are you a warrior? You're still 5 years old. Do you think you can contribute to the war?"

"But father said I am strong enough to fight demons."

"Experience Shin, you lack experience. Please Shin, don't do anything. Let's all escape."

Shin didn't reply.

Before Elfie left the room, she said something. Shin's eyes widened as heard what Elfie said. Shin looked outside the window and saw Roger coming home.

~~~~~

Roger entered the house and asked, "Where's Shin?"

Ariel replied, "He's in his room."

"I see."

Roger went to Shin's room but Shin could not be found. Roger went down and said, "Shin is not in his room."

"What? But we just left his room. Elfie, do you know where he went?"

Elfie looked at Ariel with a blank face. She pointed outside. "He went to the forest I think."

Roger's veins in his head bulged, "That kid!"

~~~~~

Shin is running in the forest. Thinking about the words Elfie has said.

"What does she mean by that? That will never happen."

Shin stopped and looked up. "Right, I'm just a 5 gear old kid. But... I am special. I don't know why but it feels like I've lived before. Who am I? What am I? Why am I here?"

He was about to go back when he felt a tremendous aura going towards him really fast.
