"Asher, please show Ryan to his room," Ellianna ordered as she walked up the stairs and left.

"Yes, my Lady," Asher said with an elven salute.

He then led Ryan to the main room on the second floor where Hiro and him first met.

"Here you are Chosen One," Asher said with a bow and opened the door for him.

"Just call me Ryan," he said.

As Ryan walked through the door, so did Asher and the other knight.

"Why are you coming into my room?"

"Because Joris told us to watch over you... After what happened with Hiro he is worried about you, Ryan." The other Dark Elf Knight said.

"So I get babysitters now," Ryan said with a scowl.

"Joris said it would make you more comfortable," Asher said with a smirk.

"..." Ryan didn't know what to say. So he walked over to his bed to sit down for a bit.

As the three of them were waiting there for about half an hour. They started to hear footsteps coming towards the door.

The door unlatched its lock and opened as Joris and two other Dark Elven Knights came in carrying Hiro. Some guilt washed over Ryan's mind at the sight of Hiro's injured body, thinking it was Ryan's fault when he almost killed Hiro. But upon closer inspection, Hiro had many more cuts and bruises that weren't caused by Ryan.

"What happened to him?" Ryan asked Joris.

"He decided to take the Basilisk lightly and got himself in trouble. I had to slay it before it could kill Hiro," Joris answered with exasperation. "Which means he didn't get the Basilisk's mana."

"That doesn't matter!" Hiro yelled out with rage. "It's all your fault! You should have never given me such a difficult enemy!"

"Calm down Hiro," Joris said with a calming voice.

"No! This is all your fault! Are you intentionally trying to make me fail!? I'm the Chosen One! Now look at what happened because of your carelessness!" Hiro roared with anger, clenching his fist, and looked like he was ready to fight.

"You're right, we'll make sure it doesn't happen, again," Joris said as he put his hand on Hiro's head like he was trying to comfort his little sister.

'What the fuck?' Ryan doesn't know why Joris and the others are pampering Hiro like a delicate flower even though he's acting like a snot-nosed brat like always.

"You better not, or there will be hell to pay!" as Hiro continued his verbal assault on Joris and the others.

"Ow! My whole body is in pain. Get someone to heal my wounds, NOW!" Hiro demanded.

"You've consumed an elixir, just give it a few hours and you should be almost back to 100%," Joris said as he seemed not to be fazed at all by Hiro's tirade. As if this was nothing new to him.

"A few hours!? I want to be healed, NOW! What type of bullshit fantasy world is this!?" Hiro was still shouting like a sweet 16 girl who didn't get the gift she wanted.

"We could if we had fairies, but we don't. So bear with it, Hiro." Joris said calmly.

"But it was not how it was supposed to go! I'm the main character and I'm not supposed to lose! If anything, it was supposed to be the other way around!" Hiro shouted.

Joris and the other Knights have a confused look on their faces as they have no clue what he meant by being "The Main Character"

"..."

'Oh, God. Hiro has lost his shit.' Ryan said to himself.

"I'm the main character! I am the Chosen One and I will become the weapon of the Dark Goddess! I….. I….." Hiro shouted as he slammed his fist into his bed with tears forming in his eyes.

'Is he mentally turning into a girl as well as his body?' thought Ryan as he started to worry if his mind was changing as well.

Joris sighed and shook his head. "I need to speak with Lady Ellianna... Asher! Take command of the group while I'm gone."

"Yes Sir," Asher said as Joris left the room.

"You're making me sound like an idiot," Hiro mumbled out loud.

Ryan didn't know what to do. They were going to be turned into Dark Elven females and would be forced to do the Sorellian's bidding.

"This is all your fault!" Hiro continued yelling at everyone with tears in his eyes.

***

Ryan is stuck inside his shared room with Hiro, Asher, and three other Dark Elven Knights for what seemed like a couple of hours. Most of Hiro's injuries were gone but he was still sulking in bed.

Ryan at first kept to himself while pondering on what his next move should be. But no matter how much he thought he couldn't come up with any good ideas that would help him escape from the Dark Elves. It was too late for that now. His body was already changing. And to top it off he's stuck in this world for now with Hiro.

He's got to figure out why the Goddess chose them in the first place. While Ryan was lost in thought he felt the entire room shake. It sounded like an explosion happened about a mile away.

Asher and the Knight soon are on high alert which puts Ryan on alert as well. Hiro doesn't seem to care as he's still moping on the bed.

"What was that?" Ryan asked with tension in his voice.

"It could have been an earthquake," Asher replied.

The shaking and vibrations faded after a minute or so. Before Ryan noticed the Dark Elf Knights looked at each other curiously and continued their discussion in hush tones in order to keep Ryan out of the loop or maybe it was to keep him from panicking.

"Was it a magical or natural earthquake?" Ryan asked.

"Most likely magical. But it is far off. Could be one of the priestesses training but we shouldn't take any chances," Asher said.

"So we are being attacked?" Ryan continued to question.

"It's nothing to be concerned about Chosen One" Just as Asher finished his reply another booming sound came in much louder as the room was shaking again.

"Well, it seems like I should be concerned," Ryan responded back as his mind was working overtime thinking of a plan.

Then there was another boom and another. Asher and the Knights unsheathed their swords.

"Seir! Jorj! Take the hallway! We'll stay here to protect the Chosen Ones!" Asher ordered.

"Yes Sir..." The two Dark Elf Knights said with haste as they ran down the hall.

"Asher! Don't leave me in the dark. What's going on?" Ryan demanded to know.

"It seems someone found out that we summoned new champions." Asher chuckled bitterly. "And they want to prevent our Chosen Ones from reaching their true potential."

'God Damnit, of course, there's someone who wants me dead! Everything's coming up Milhouse.' Ryan screams internally about his crap luck of late.

Ryan stood there not knowing what to say as Asher walked closer to him with a wicked grin on his face. "Relax, it's nothing we can't handle." Asher smiled as if to assure Ryan.

Just then there was another explosion followed by the sound of screaming and clanging of metal, most likely a sword fight had started.

Ryan looked over at Hiro still in his bad mood, pouting in his bed like a child.

"Hiro, can't you hear that? We might be in trouble. Get over here!" Ryan demanded as he glared at Hiro's stubbornness.

"No! I'm done with this game. And I want to go home!" Hiro retorted angrily now with a more feminine voice.

'Great not only does Hiro sound and look like a girl but now he's acting like one!? NO! No... I'm being unfair to girls... He is just as bad as when he was a guy before all this crap happened... I feel like I will have a better chance of moving a donkey than him,' Ryan thought.

'On that point, my voice has gone up an octave. God, I probably would be mistaken as a girl too! Ryan started to die a little bit on the inside.

*BOOM!!!*

That one really made the place shake.

"Eep!" Said Hiro as he got knocked out of his bed with that one. And when things settled he came over to Ryan in a hurry.

'Shit things sound like they are getting worse!?' Ryan thought to himself. He tried to stand up but Asher put a hand on his shoulder and motioned for him to stay where he was.

"Let us do our job," Asher said.

'I can't just sit around waiting for someone to try and kill me!' Ryan said to himself. Then there was another loud noise and Ryan looked back as the dark elf with green eyes was standing next to Asher with a look of concern on her face. "Asher, do you hear what came over the speaker stones?"

"I missed it, did you pick up on who they said?" Asher looked her in the eyes.

"It sounded like a Paladin of the Three?" She said with a little fear in her eyes.

Asher turned his head back to the entrance door to the room. While regripping his sword, readying himself into a battle stance. "So, the Divine Three have chosen death. So be it." Asher said to himself.

The sound of fighting is getting closer, but there's no sign of anyone entering the room yet.

"They're here!" Yelled the two Knights out in the hallway.

Ryan took a glance at the doorway. "A Paladin?... This is going to suck..." Ryan mumbled to himself.
