"The Spirit Guardian"

Deep night.

A road was cutting through a forest, where a white carriage could be seen going through it.

Inside the carriage were Leon and others, but there was a strange silence among them.

Leon, Enayet, and Hueg were sitting on the same side, only Crayola was alone, on the other side with a deadpan face.

Hueg was sitting quietly and rubbing the left side of his face. He started complaining."You kn-"

"Hey, kid. Is someone talking here? I seem to hear a voice." Crayola said to Leon with a stern face.

Leon nervously shook his head."No, no one is talking here mam."

"Maybe some old dead ghost that is roaming the forest whimpering." After that Crayola sat quietly with her usual smile.

Hueg grabbed his chest and said as if he was in pain."It hurts..it hurts so much. Those devilish words."

"Oh my, is it hurting? Then I will pray so you can die quickly and never have any kind of pain." Crayola said in a concerned tone.

Leon just sat there, quietly. He was watching as Crayola and Hueg banter with each other.

Suddenly he felt something on his left and looked over. He saw it was Enayet who was leaning on his shoulder with his eyes closed. 'It looks like he is too tired.'

Leon was about to sleep, taking Enayet into his arms, suddenly Crayola said from the other side."Give him to me."

Leon glanced at Hueg and saw he was telling him to give Enayet with his head gestures.

Leon picked up Enayet and gave him to Crayola.

Crayola took Enayet and had him rest his head on her lap. She put his leg on the side of her empty sit.

Hueg smacked his lips seeing this."Lucky."

But this time Crayola didn't get mad, she with a smiling face just patted and caressed Enayet's head as he fell into a deep sleep.

After that, the carriage went silent. Seeing everyone calm down and finding the atmosphere sleep worthy, he was about to close his eyes but from the corners of his eyes, he saw Hueg's dress style again.

This time a thought struck his mind that he was eager to ask for a long time.

Leon asked."Brother Hueg, may I ask? How you got this type of dress?"

Hueg was confused at first but after remembering this kid is from an unknown village, he said."It's a shop in the capital. Everyone loves to wear this. Look despite the atmosphere is hot, I can have some fresh air going through the skin and it also makes me cool."

"Uhhhh.." Leon didn't know what to say. 'Maybe I asked the wrong question.'

Leon asked again."Who made this?"

Hueg replied to his question again."It was made by the owner of the shop, she is a good fri-"

"No..not that," Leon cut him midway."I want to know who invented these types of dresses or I mean who came up with it."

"Oh, you mean that." Hueg grew a little suspicious. "Why is he so into this stuff?'

Still, Hueg said."It was made by "The Spirit Guardian". He was born proximately ten thousand years ago. His real name is forgotten by the erosion of time so nobody knows. And from his title, you may think he was a very strong man, and you are right. But his most unique feature and the thing he was passionate about was fashion and dress. He made many unorthodox dresses and clothes that many people didn't like it."

Then Hueg spread his arm and gave a shrug."And will you look at that, now people can't wait to wear and learn to make these things."

"Wow." Leon was amazed on the surface but in his mind, he was becoming confused. 'What the!? why does this story feel so similar as if I heard about it? Like the ones I had read on many websites in past, like those with their MC steamrolling his opponents and getting a harem.'

Leon asked."How many wives did he have? And did he become the top of the food chain?"

Hueg and Crayola both looked at him with a weird gaze.

Anyway, Hueg still answered his question."Maybe eleven or thirteen. Nobody knows the correct number. And he did become the top of the food chain of yours."

Leon nodded his head silently. This answer made Leon's guess correct. 'That was indeed a fellow earthling. Man, that guy sure got it all."

Leon then asked his final question about him."Was he an Ashura?"

"No," Hueg denied then his face changed in a great enthusiasm as if he found the greatest thing in his life."He was from The Clan of Extreme Eyes."

"Extreme Eyes?" Leon was confused because he heard this name for the first time.

"You shouldn't have heard of them, "Hueg looked up and Leon felt that Hueg's eyes were sparkling. Hueg said in a yearning voice."Many people in the continent may think we are the best race and most gifted but they are wrong. It is the guys from Extreme Eyes Clan, it is like the whole world is in their favor. You know sometimes I feel they are stupidly strong."

Leon was also shocked to find that there is a race that can be that strong. You know it is coming from the so-called Blazer of Ashura race.

'I knew there have to be strong races equal to Ashura but not that strong!' Leon was amazed at his own thought. 'And with all this, if you don't tell me that guy wasn't a protagonist then there should be something wrong with me.'

"Hey, kid. Stop fantasizing about them. You can't judge early someone you haven't met yet fully but trust my words for now.," Hueg pulled him back to his senses. "Also what is your name? I can't just call you kid all the time."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Leon pointed his finger at himself. "I am Leon, from Greenwood Village."

"So it seems you really are from nowhere." Hueg was suspicious of Leon's lack of knowledge despite being so good at combat.

Leon then pointed his finger at the sleeping Enayet."That's Enayet, my brother, from Ennimiro Village."

Hueg glance at Enayet with interest."Oh, that kid is Enayet."

Leon became curious after hearing Hueg's tone."Brother Hueg is there something wrong with Enayet?"

Hueg smirked at Leon."Your brother has quite a history."
