I fly in the air, toward the north. The little fairy was on my shoulders as she led me to the fairyland, her home.
"When did this all start?" I thought and remembered what happened back at the imperial palace.
Hours before inside the palace.
Niya, the little fairy, spoke and looked into my rings. "It's said that the Kohinoor ring chooses the next protector home and will bring peace to our land."
"So you are saying the ring has chosen me as the protector of your home?"
"Yes, you are now the protector the Kohinoor ring has chosen." She nodded her head and agreed with me.
My mind started to rotate, all the things happening now were getting beyond my understanding. "What is happening? When did this turn into this? I never thought that this ring would turn out to be made by the fairy queen."
As I was wondering, the fairy held my thumb and spoke. "Hero, please help us, save our home; those demons are going to kill everyone!"
"No, my son isn't going anywhere, he has recently returned from the haman kingdom, and I can't let him venture out, especially after these demons attacked in imperial palace!" Sophia spoke and glared in rage and refused to let me go anyway. She felt incomplete to be called as a mother; she couldn't even protect me in her own home.
Niya looked at Sophia, fear took over her body after listening to her. "Is that Dragon the hero's mother? She is too powerful! I'm even a match for her."
Rose silently stood up, her gaze linger on Niya and thought. "Fairies, I used to think they were dead a very long time ago, by humans and another monster. But I never thought that they were hiding in the north, moreover, those demons that attacked our castle were not normal either. They intruded into the palace undetected, demon-like, those are highly dangerous."
Her gaze shifted to the corrupted wild creatures that were being controlled by demons. "Their power is really frightening if they corrupt every single living being creatures, including humans, dragons, and elves. They could change the entire battle outcome."
"What should I do? Sophia is right; these demons aren't anything like I have ever seen before; their power of corruption is extremely dangerous. Helping her is equal to walking towards my own death. Should I refuse to help her?" I mused and looked at Niya, she was afraid and hopeless, her body was trembling as she realised what was going to happen as I'd stayed silent.
[What are you thinking? Are you planning to help her? I won't suggest you. Haven't you seen their power? They almost killed you with Scratch, who knows what other demonic magic they possess?]
Frosty's concerned voice echoed in my head, I wasn't sure how to respond to her.
(Host...)
I heard System's low, faint voice, "System? What happened?"
(You are confused and your mind is unstable.)
"I can't just decide, those demons... They have almost killed me; if you weren't there for me, I would have almost died." Even though I have defeated the Wyrm without fear, the impact left by those fairy eater demons is still hurting me mentally.
(Host, don't say that, I don't wanna hear bad about you. I won't let you get harmed in my presence. Their corruption won't work on you, host, your body has become immune to the demonic energy after those demon attacked you!)
I became surprised as the system spoke, I didn't expect her to make me completely immune to the Demonic.
"I'm immune to demonic corruption? Since when did you do that?"
(When I filtered your body, you won't be affected by demonic curruption.)
A slight smile appeared on my face. I looked at Niya, who was crying in my embrace, and my hand moved as I gently caressed her hair.
She raised her head and looked at me. I spoke, "Don't cry. I will save your home."
Her expression changed instantly, and an unimaginably joyful smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, great hero! My people will be very happy to hear that."
Sophia's jaw dropped upon hearing my decision. "No, you are not going anywhere! My son, don't you remember what happened last time? You were almost taken by that man! If I hadn't appeared… No, I can't think about it. I won't let you go!"
"You happened what?" Rose eyes wides in shoke as she looked at me for explaintion.
"Why are you reminding about that? I don't wanna remember those memories." I spoke as uncomfortable memories flash in my mind.
"Mom I be okay, I be back unharmed, I'm going north, even Sendra's kingdom is not far from that, I can call her for help when ever I want." I tries to ressure Sophia, she was still insist from let me go out, fearing I will be danger again.
Rose walked towards, suprising Sophia wanted to shout at her but she stopped. Rose looked at mine eyes, wanted to ask many questions but only speak only few words. "Do you really wanted to have their home, my dear?"
"I really do, Rose. I believe back I promise and meet our child." Speaking so, I kiss her lips and gently rubbed her pregnant belly. She responds as she move her tongue around my mouth.
Niya face flushed in red as she stared at us stunning expression. "The hero is married to the dragon queen! They are even kissing in open."
Few minutes later, Rose seperated her mouth as she looked at me with red face. "Come back soon, dear."
"I will and mom, don't worry about me,"
"That's what a mother's duty is to make their keen never gets hurt." She spoke and come words as she hugged me. I hugged her back as the Niya squeezed between us.
"Ahhh!"
"Take care of Luna, she is till unconscious." I glanced at her and she is still sleeping. After I took a last glanced at everyone before taking off and disappearing in air.
