Chapter 10

Allumos's pov 

I groaned, hearing loud chattering noises of unfamiliar voices

"His hair is so pretty!"

"I wish my hair was that long..."

"Shhh! Dad said not to bother him!"

"Did he get a c-con-concussion?"

"What's that mean?"

"I don't know but Dad once told Lord Vendi to not hit his head cause he might get one!"

"But what does it mean?"

I sat up slowly, rubbing my head and groaned, hearing the childlike voices yelp.

I opened my eyes, looking around, finding myself in an unfamiliar room.

How did I get here...

Right. I left Dragon's den to find Kayla's parents...

I had left the little girl to be watched by Bri, before venturing off. Most of my searching was a boring blur, but I still couldn't completely recall how exactly I got here. My head was slightly throbbing in a dull pain.

I looked over to see five kids standing near my bed. One had brown hair and an eyepatch, and he was holding a small child in a blue shirt. There was another boy with green hair and two girls, one with gray hair and the other with blonde.

"Hello sir!" the one with the eyepatch said, smiling widely.

I blinked.

"Huh.. where..?"

"KIDS! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT BOTHERING OUR GUEST?" A male voice called from downstairs. The voice was followed by the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs

The children yelped, except the youngest who giggled.

"Sorry dad!" They all chorused, as the door opened, revealing a man with semi long brown hair, pulled up into a messy ponytail.

He was wearing inventor's goggles up on his head, with different colored lenses, one red, one yellow, wearing a brown leather vest, over a red button up. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing some scars, and some thick gloves. He was clearly some kind of inventor, or builder.

"Alright, out, all of you. Go set the table for breakfast. Remember, Lord Vendi will be stopping by to check on our guest, so make sure everything is clean!" He said, as the children ran out.

He turned back towards me, smiling nervously.

"Hi, sorry about my kids." He said, walking in, closing the door behind him.

He walked over, and offered me a glass of water.

I blinked, and took it.

"Where am I..?" I asked, not drinking yet. He smiled

"I found you in the woods. Looked like you fell down the hill, hit your head. You're in Steelwolf, in my home, now." He said.

Steelwolf. That sounded familiar.

...

...

Right. Ashara told me about it before I left. Warning me about something.

"Huh.. and. Who are you?" I asked, slowly sipping the water, cautiously.

"My name is Helios, I'm an inventor." He said. "The cute rascals that were bugging ya were my kids. Sorry about them." He added.
