Trials [15]
"That stone is glowing!"
"Is she the Hero!?"
"That sucks i wanted to be the hero"
"No way dude like hell that's ganna happen! Haha"
"Shut up"
"Its a woman that's rare"
Many people were saying some stuff at the back about her but she has a different reaction.
"Ummm uhhhh i.. di-"
"HERO! we will be in your hands from now on pls come with me to your personal carriage"
"Uhh o.. ok"
The man escorted her to the carriage with a few guards in his back.
"We are here Hero please step inside"
"I.isn't this a bit you know uhh."
Unlike normal carriages this one was a giant one covered with gold plating and diamond decorations outside, like a golden cupcake sprinkled with diamonds. it was pulled by giant horses that didn't even seemed like normal ones something like a monster instead. She stepped inside and of course its looked like a small room inside with comfortable seats and a table in the middle its as if it was made for seven people to be inside.
"Please enjoy your ride"
-shut-
As the door closed the carriage moved fast and surprisingly with not much shaking in the inside even if the road is rough the inside didn't even shake an inch. While she was waiting for her destination she was quietly looking out the window thinking quietly to herself with an expression that seemed to be a wild mix of scared, surprised, happy, grateful and other emotions mixed in there.
(Why am i chosen did God heard my wish to become stronger like him? heh ironic) Sarya thought
***
(What's that sound?) Ferris thought
He heard some trumpets singing nearby no the whole capital heard it, as if a large speaker was installed on every corner of the capital
"That's the hymn for the hero!" one of the residents shouted
"The hero?"
(the hero huh?) Ferris thought
He tried to cross the streets and closed his eyes for a but to cool them off, but it was wrong timing because a carriege was going at full speed was about to crash him.
"!!!" Ferris reacted
"HEY" watch where your going dumbass!!!"
A quick giant carriage flew past him with fast speeds and for some reason people ran towards it cheering. In the carriege Sarya was looking out the window.
(Is it just me or i just saw a familiar face... hmm i guess my heads not right due to all this) Sarya thought
"damn.. My bad" Ferris said
***
While he was walking inside the guild looking at the quest board he noticed that there are more demon subjugation quest than the usual.
(So much demons.. this is my first time experiencing one) Ferris thought
"This one please" Ferris said to the receptionist
"Ok"
***
"Wow this place is huge" Sarya said
"Haha you haven't seen the throne room yet Hero"
Both of them were walking on the hall which was very very spacious with giant pillars and many guards left and right patrolling the entire area as expected of the kingdoms capital castle. After a few minutes of walking they finally made it to the throne room.
"We are here Hero please wait for me to open the door for you."
They were infront of a massive gate with guards and the man that was escorting Sarya placed his hand on a scanner looking object and the giant gate opened slowly revealing the throne room inside which was times two the size times two the decorations times two the guards and so on.
"Welcome Hero" the king greeted
Hearing the cheery voice of the king she quickly bowed down out of instinct.
"Ahh no Hero cut it with the formal things and talk to me as a friend"
The king quickly ran towards new Hero in hurry, he looked like an old guy but he was pretty active.
"uugh.. Yes of course" Sarya answered
"Please hero follow me"
"Ahem your majesty i shall take my leave now" the man escorting Sarya said
"Sure, go rest Alfred"
While they were walking they were talking about the current situation of the world and the demon invasion.
"By the way who was the guy"
"That is Alfred his my personal butler and friend for 38 years now"
"I see"
"Oh yes your actually the 7th hero out of the 79 heroes in the whole world history, not to say that this country has given birth to 7 heroes but the other countries has given birth more"
"Really is it that rare"
"It is rare haha"
"We are here" the king told her
"Where is this" Sarya asked
"That.. Hero is the door of trials"
"Yes trials, each hero needs to finish this and get the right to hold and lift the Holy sword of God."
"That door?" she asked
"Yes all you have to do is past the trial but beware not all heroes pass this test some have died" the king warned
(I'm kinda feeling that this is trope is over used... Wait, why the hell am I thinking about novels now? This is too much for my head right now)
The door she opened looked normal but the inside looked pitch black, before she went inside she was stopped.
"Oh i forgot, I haven't asked for your name yet what is it"
"Its Sarya"
"Sarya huh the Great Hero Sarya I wish luck to you in the trials"
"Thanks"
She stepped inside the pitch black room and as she went inside the door behind her vanished not a single sound of a shutting door was heard and all that's left is just
Pitch
