II | "hero"

The water Gods had arrived and fixed everything, the fire had died, but the houses had already been burnt to ashes. The fire seemed to be magical because there was no way a normal fire would ever do that to a village.

After it ended, everyone tried to find this one person-Adryan, but he wasn't anywhere, where was he?

But there he was, in a chair, wanting to flee from the chains. He didn't know how he got there, all he knew was that he had to get back home before he got into any serious trouble.

He struggled to get off the stupid chair, his legs were tied onto it, his hands were tied onto the armrests, and his torso was tied onto it, too. He was making lots of noise, metal crashing into each other and the feet of the chair stomping onto the ground whilst he hissed.

"Shh, quiet," a feminine voice had formed from behind him, it made a shiver run down his spine when he realised that there was actually someone there looking at him.

That was when he realised that he could get his kidnapper to let him go. "Let me go! You monster!" He demanded while the chains dangled from the chair again, not breaking anytime soon.

"Shh, listen, it was fairly dumb of you to come into the village like that, couldn't you see it was in flames?" She slid a dagger out and put it on his neck so he'd stop moving, head beside his.

"Who even are you?" He pushed his head back, only for the dagger to push closer, "why did you set our houses on fire?!"

"Why can't you see that you're stuck here?" She pulled the dagger away from him so she could walk in front of him to reveal her appearance to him, smirking. Her hair was red-dark red.

"Answer the stupid question!" He breathed out while yelling, staring at her in disgust, only to be greeted by her emerald green eyes

"Oh, have you seen anybody start out big?" She asked and paused for dramatic effect, "no, that's what I'm doing."

"What? Are you planning to burn down the entire realm? That's impossible, keep dreaming you little piece of shi-" and he suddenly had the blade up to his neck yet again, a foot on his knee. He hissed in pain as it was pushed against him whilst the foot stepped on him.

"Going full-on me eh? Don't worry, you should keep dreaming as well, your bravery isn't and would never be enough for you to be a warrior," she smiled with her eyebrows raised, pulling the dagger away from his throat again, leaving when blood was starting to drip from the wound.

He tried his best to not cry out in pain, "and why should I listen to you?!" He gazed into her eyes, giving the deadliest stare he had, but unfortunately, it did nothing against her.

"Same question," she tilted her head with a tiny smirk playing on her lips, "come on, you can't possibly think I'm an idiot, right?"

"I don't even know who you are! And as someone who doesn't know who the heck you are, yes! You're a complete idiot who's full of yourself!" He was furious-obviously, considering the fact that he was tied up to a chair, clearly entertaining someone who he does not recognize.

"Hm? Oh, no worries, you'll get to know who I am, very soon," she smiled, debating whether she should let him go or play with him for a little more...of course, she chose the second option.

"Your name should be someone who's a satan wannabe named Kasdeya bloody Flame or something," he huffed, glaring at her while she rolled her eyes.

"You wish," she grinned, letting out a sigh before saying something again, "perhaps I could let you go? Since everyone knows my appearance, you telling them all about someone kidnapping you with the exact same description would be easy to believe, could let them know what I could do as well..."
