The Secret I Have Kept

After I saved her life, she asked me, "Thank you Horoku for saving my neck but you know that I can protect myself?" and show her annoying face. I was angry with her "Maybe next time you should stay away from that pest! Plus, I just saved your life!"

"Okay Okay I'm sorry but you owe me gold ok? " he asked with a long face. "Yes ... maybe." I smiled at her.

"Horoku ... can I stay with you for a while because I'm tired." She asked me to let him stay with her sad face. I was shocked because I had been friends with a cute girl for 3 years from now and guessed that she saw my face turn red but looked at her face up close, her face turned red so I let her stay "from ... of course you ... You can stay with me for the wild. "

In the middle of the night, we rested in the woods and I was still embarrassed because I was thinking in my mind that "why is a cute girl like her wanting to be with a guy like me?" I think of this because I am not like the others. The others had friends, armor, gold and many weapons and I, on the other hand, was fighting alone, wearing a black veiled jacket, a sword and a spear, black hair and also not having many friends.

Then Luna called my name "Horoku." I looked at her face and she asked me "where have you been all this time? It's been 4 years now and you still haven't come back to us." She showed a sad and worried face to her. The reason I did not return to them was because….

After 2 years of initial war between men and goblins, I found my friend in their village. When I arrived in my village. I was late because the goblins had invaded the village. All the houses were set on fire and women and children were killed. There were so many goblins that I could not find my friends. Then there they are ... fighting to protect each other.

I shouted "Arata! Hikaru! Kyoji! Kaito!" They heard me and looked at me. Suddenly, a goblin attacks Kyoji from behind.

"Kyoji!" we were all shocked.

Then Kaito in the head. Finally Arata and Hikaru with a hundred arrows.

"Be careful!" I shouted at them but I was late.

Hikaru dies and Arata calls my name with her last breath.

All the villagers were killed one by one and all the goblins surrounded me. Suddenly, something grew inside me. I feel angry, hateful and strong. It feels like there is a power that appears in me. This power ... is in control of me. When the goblin started attacking me, I lifted my sword and a light appeared on my sword as I swung it. I swung my sword and shouted at them, "I said enough!". I destroyed all the goblins with one swing and they all perished.

All the goblins were destroyed but the villagers ... died. All but me and that is why I am fighting alone. So no one will be in danger and killed in front of me. But that is also the reason for me to find the answer I am looking for and the question is "what power controls me? Who and what am I? Where do I come from."

So I answered Luna's question "I can't tell you. Because ... I"

"Because of what?" Luna asked again.

"You know? ... What do you say rest ... I'll tell you tomorrow" I stood up and took the firewood.

At sunrise, I asked him "so ... are you leaving now?"

"I think I should go to Trinity City," she said.

"You know it's too far and too risky?"

"Yes, I know but this is the only place we can go." She was worried she would not arrive safely in time..

So I had no choice but to guide her until he arrived at her destination. As we walked together in the woods, I heard the sound of iron hitting something "kang!" Then I went to find out what it was.

When I got there, I came across Yamada ... fighting with the goblins and other guests ... witches.

After the war began, witches chose two sides ... humans and goblins. Like Luna, she is on our side. For others ... they choose the bad ones.

In this fight, the goblin has two witches and Yamada has nothing but shields and spears.

"Give me his head!" the goblin orders the witch to kill her.

The witch goes and attacks him but it will not be easy for them because Yamada is the strongest fighter I have ever seen and there is no easy way to defeat him.

The witch tried to shoot him with more than a hundred sharp crystals. Yamada raised his shield and protected himself. After being severely attacked, Yamada looks tired as he can no longer withstand the force of his witch attack is too strong.

He swung his spear at the witch but one of them shot Yamada and he failed. It is impossible for him to fight alone..

The witch has a chance to kill him. They started it with fire. Yamada is almost hopeless. The witch shot him with fire. A fire hit him and exploded. The witches were happy and they laughed but suddenly in the smoke of a fire, a man stood in front of Yamada. The sorcerer shocked and angry for failing to kill Yamada. In that smoke, not Yamada in that figure. Yamada is behind that figure. The figure in front of Yamada is me 'Horoku'.'.

The goblins were getting angrier as I came and disturbed them. The goblin ordered the witches to kill me and Yamada. The witch shot us with a meteor. I hit the meteor towards us. Yamada and I jumped towards them and attacked the witch from above their heads.

Both are dead except for goblins. Then Luna flew over the goblin and shot him with her power called "Eleven Stars". The stars hit him until her explosion made the goblin fall down the slope. The goblin got up and shouted at us. Luna solves it with the last magic "Repulser". The goblin is done.

After we worked hard Yamada thanked us for saving his life

"Thank you Horoku ... I owe you"

"Don't mention it but where is your guard?" I asked him because I did not see his friend.

"He did not succeed." He answered in a low voice..

"Ouh, sorry." I returned my question because I just made it sad.

"Anyway, how did you guys meet?" he asked with an annoyed face.

"Oii! Seriously" I whispered to him.

He laughed and punched me in the back loudly. I really didn't like the way he played silly with me but it brought good memories to me with my friends in the last four years before the war started.

"Horoku, can you protect me while I rest?" he asked for my protection.

"Only for one day" he pleaded.

"Okay" I gave him protection.
