#8 Other Stories: An old man’s story
“I have arrived sooner than expected.”
I sighed as I looked at the small village afar. I had asked Merln for a battle, had been refused, fought against the demons, and fell asleep due to my wounds and fatigue. However, everyone had gone when I woke up. They had somehow managed to slip by me, and I had to admit I had let Merln run away from me.
I had walked desolately to home, or to be more exact, a burnt site of where my home had been. The wheat fields had also gone to black ash, and I felt empty at seeing everything gone in such a short time. I realized that I had to leave this place also at that same moment.
I went to the dwarf village, and people were surprised to see me come back so quickly.
“I had to come back early due to certain situations.”
The elder who had made me my sword welcomed me first.
“How was it?! Did you beat that weapon?”
His eyes were expectant, but I had to admit that I had not kept my promise. However, as I had used my sword and Merln his bat in battle, I had to explain the difference between our weapons. I spoke in front of the three elders of the Red Hammer Clan, and they were good listeners.
