What is a hero? We know that term based on different works, but there are too many definitions. What is his purpose in life? Is he one who does the right thing no matter what? Is it someone who does some acts for the benefit of another"

"You are my hero"

What is required to obtain that title? To be worthy of people's admiration... To have a heart so pure that not even the deepest darkness can corrupt it? It sounds complicated and even impossible, no one in this life is perfect; but there are so many ways to demonstrate each person's potential.

Helping people on the street, feeding animals, explaining to your partner a task that they cannot perform or simply passing them the answers; doing charity, offering a hand, a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on.

Day by day we can make a difference either for the public or for a single person in particular, although very few of us are able to notice how our most selfless actions inspire others to one day follow in our footsteps, because for this you already meet the requirements.

"My hero"

How about people who go above and beyond to help? Those who are willing to do the impossible for love, who would sacrifice everything without even thinking about it?

The one who only retains memories of a past life full of excitement and adventure to be part of the already classic and even boring everyday life in order to live with someone who gave them a new purpose outside of the darkness. Who knows the risks that a path of shadows entails and still chooses to balance on the thin line between life and death, jumping into the unknown and accepting their new destiny if it ensures they keep the one they love most safe.

What is a hero, and who among us is worthy enough to bear that title?

A cozy summer morning in Norrisville, a gentle breeze flowing through the city providing a nice gentle warmth for its civilians. The days are like this all the time now, never before had such constant calm been felt in a place usually full of chaos and destruction. The citizens had become accustomed to that feeling of peace without realizing it, and those who were born knowing this new version of that place that would become their home are considered blessed.

In a neighborhood not so far from downtown, inside a large house that may seem familiar to many, a person slept comfortably buried under pillows and plush dolls, unaware of the sunlight that came through the window after forgetting to lock it the night before. Next to a collection of comics, game controllers and posters taped to the wall, an alarm clock rang, turning on the radio. This is where our story begins...

"Good morning Norrisville! Today the sky is completely clear with no clouds in sight, we can assure you that it will be a beautiful and warm day so go get your sunscreen and glasses because the sun is shining once again!"

Under the covers a figure began to move, a girl with long purple hair came out of her hiding place and sat on the mattress stretching her arms towards the ceiling while she yawned; she took a deep breath in before opening that pair of sapphire eyes.

"And don't forget! The countdown continues. Two more days until the big celebration at Norrisville High! If you have anything you want autographed make sure you have it in your backpack or you might regret it for the rest of your life!"

The girl jumped out of her bed to check her calendar posted on the wall that had the day marked in red and hundreds of colorful scribbles writing "The Big Day."

"Two days more...! He will come..! Don't lose hope, Cunningham." She smiled encouragingly to herself before running full speed out of her room, she crossed the hallway to the room across from hers and knocked happily. "Good morning! Wake up sir, she's going to be late!... Hello?" She was surprised when she didn't receive a response, she only stopped knocking when she saw a little note stuck on the door.
