---- if bored Still nothing to say? I didn't know the so called hero of the people didn't even have a voice? He prowled around me, circling slowly, searching for even the slightest reactions and I clench my fists.

Making sure to make my voice sound heavy, I speak up for the first time.

T don't have breaths to waste on likes of you.

Tlis brow raises, he looked surprised and then a dark chuckle left his lips.

Likes of me? Do you even know who you are talking to, you stupid kid.

I have been holding back just now because I wanted to teach you a lesson and not to harm you.

Stealing from nobles, riling up the poor, disrupting order and creating chaos in the Royal province.

It may be a game to you but it has to stop.

Let this be a warning.

He was done.

But I wasn't ---- ee = Seriously? He has been searching for me all this time just to warn me? He was going to turn around and leave when my next words stop him.

His back stiffens.

It's not a game when lives depend on it.

I won't stop till there are children starving on the streets and people who need me.

He sighs to rake his fingers through his hair.

His eyes look at me in boredom.

You remind me of someone who is as stubborn as you, Robin.

T have told her and let me tell you as well.

You can go around being a hero for as long as you want but if ever you are caught up in something? No one else will come to save you.noveldrama

Was he talking about me? Like seriously.

Hasn't he lectured me enough already? You are right.

Maybe no one will be there.

But then ---- I will happily die as a hero.

Not everyone gets to die with honour.

Something flashes in his eyes, all the anger got tempered by something else, something softer and then he shakes his head in disbelief.

A stupid kid, indeed.

Muttering under his breath, he approaches me and my grip on my sword tightens.

We are going for it again, it seems.

I get up to attack him when he shows me two of his fingers and my sword stops at a mere inch from it.

Ts he crazy! I could have cut his hand! I look up at him in confusion.

Here.

Come to the River abode in exactly twenty days from today.

You are invited to be a part of the special seven.

He tosses me a scroll like thing and I look between the letter and him like this was a joke.

---- eee = Special what? Tf you really want to be a hero.

Be there.

With this he is gone and I am left staring there at the letter in my hand.

I was going to open and read the letter when I caught something floating in the sky...

a light.

No.

A lantern.

Shit! Its my birthday.

And Iam late
