Legendary Heroes (Mobile Legends Fanfic)

Chapter 65 | Third Wheel

Where am I? That was the first thing Freya did after waking up from her slumber; she asked herself inside her mind. She opened her tired eyes and looked at the dark ceiling above her. Her body comfortably under a thick cotton and silky made blanket that has the colours of black and purple on its smooth fabric.

She pulled herself up to sat on the bed's mattress. Freya looked around the room, examining nearly everything. The interior and the design of this bedroom was gothic and eerie looking. Crimson coloured wooden cabinets, tables, and chairs were placed neatly around the room. All of the windows were opened, allowing the wind to push the purple and black coloured curtains and make them dance to its rhythm. Decorations such as paintings on the wall were few compared to her bedroom back in the Heavens. The only difference is that the paintings show melancholy and gore, which made her shiver.

Freya slowly realized that she was still inside the Queen of Doom's castle. But why is she inside a comfortable room? Isn't she supposed to be in a dungeon or some sort? This confused her and decided not to think about it right now. Right now she needs to get out without causing a ruckus.

The Goddess of War stretched her arms before getting off the bed. She looked down to look at her outfit that has been changed into a nightgown. Freya immediately looked disgusted at the clothes and wanted to get rid of them for it showed too much of her skin. These type of clothes shows too much of my fair body, She thought to herself before walking over to a large, wooden closet. Even though she, herself exposes her skin and look very elegant while being fiercely sexy. It is only because she was told that a Goddess must show her beauty to the world.

Freya opened the closet's doors and quickly grabbed something suitable for herself to wear. She was about to strip off her nightgown until she heard footsteps coming closer to the bedroom's entrance. Freya quickly made her Valkyrie Sword appear in her hand and waited for the being to come out of the door. When the footsteps stopped, the door was slammed wide opened by a demonic looking being. Tigreal silently glanced at Freya who glanced back at him. He watched as she tightened her grip on her sword while making her fighting stance. "I just came here to check on you after I sensed that you have awakened from your sleep." Tigreal simply said underneath his hard helmet. "Why am I still here? What happened to me?" Freya asked Tigreal in a hurried tone. Hoping that he'll answer her questions. Tigreal took a step inside the room, which made the Goddess of War take a step back. Fierce and doubt in her eyes, her facial expression said that she isn't the woman that you should provoke and mess with. "Calm down, I won't hurt you unless it is necessary. Vexana is keeping you here for a while after Velia-the previous Queen of Doom possessed your body and used you to kill Vexana. Velia failed and her soul got captured by Vexana." Tigreal answered in the briefest and simplest way while he figures out a plan inside his mind to convince her to not attack him or cause a problem. He wouldn't dare compare his strength and skills to a Goddess of War, she is obviously more powerful than him even though her looks doesn't say much of it. Freya is a Goddess of War for a reason after all. "Thank you for answering my questions. Now, would you be so kind to get out of my way and let me leave? Sounds good right? No conflict." Freya said, not daring enough to allow herself to lower her guard. She is very grateful that they didn't lock her up inside a dirty and cold cell and probably torture her to death. But she doesn't want to stay long even if it is a nice, comfortable room. She must leave now or the other Goddesses and Angels will panic and search for her hysterically. "If you do not tell a single word about this to another soul. Then Vexana may let you leave, but if you tell someone. We will have no choice but to hunt down and kill your beloved friend. Her name is Rafaela, correct?" Tigreal asked the Goddess of War whose eyes immediately widened.

In a flash, like lightning. She was suddenly in front of him, her sword's blade just below where his jawline is located. "How do you know her?" She grimly asked. Her eyes showing no plan of giving him mercy if he starts a fight with her, so Tigreal took a deep breath and merely answered. "Vexana does not trust me enough to give me valuable pieces of information. She only told me that if you tell another soul about this event, we will hunt down and kill a female angel whose name is Rafaela." Unable to become satisfied by his answer. Freya only growled and grumbled a few words that Tigreal couldn't understand. Then she allowed herself to calm a bit before saying. "I won't tell a single being about this if it means having my friend safe. But will you keep your word as sincere as mine?"
  "I will forever keep my word," Tigreal answered. He lifted one of his hands and placed it on his armoured chest where his heart is located. "I may not look like it now and you might not believe me, but I was a warrior of light. When I was still training, I've heard great stories about you, Goddess Freya. You take fallen warriors to the Temple of Heroes for them to live in peace and harmony." He added before kneeling down on one knee. His hand still on the spot where his heart is. Freya did not understand why this being was bowing down to her right now, but he looked so sincere even with that demonic and terrifying appearance. On the other side of his thick, hard shell lies a courage and pure heart of a true hero that Freya could barely see.
