Chapter 45: Being a Hero is... A Stupid Mistake.
"Yes, I was born there. But my parents moved to the Maritime City of Agora, and I lived there until I decided to come here. I arrived a few weeks ago."
Elliot nodded gently. "Why leave one of the kingdom’s great cities to live in Agora? I think the difference between Tanafler and Agora is so great that it seems like they belong to different continents."
"Hehe, Tanafler is very big and beautiful, and it has the protection of several Heroes. Even so, it’s not good. It’s very hot there, and the people are very stressful."
"Is it true what they say about them being temperamental?"
"Yes. Maybe the heat makes them that way."
"That makes sense. I couldn’t stand living in such heat. Still, Agora isn’t that different, is it? It’s a real coastal city and has the famous House of Fire. I heard that the presence of that place is enough to heat the city."
Jenna shook her head repeatedly.
"The heat from the volcanoes isn’t the same as the heat in Agora. Besides, the House of Fire is just a hot guild with arrogant people. But Tanafler is all hot. The rocks, the streets, the buildings, everything stays hot, which raises the temperature in the city. It’s horrible to live there. Volcanic ash sometimes falls like snow and bathes the city in a gray color, where going outside can burn you." She shook her head once more, this time in discontent as she remembered that hot city.
Her response was funny, so Elliot couldn’t help but laugh. "Hahaha, maybe you’re the only person to say that about the Great City of Tanafler."
She shrugged, smiling. "Maybe. They don’t let me travel in Tanafler either, because the beasts are powerful. That makes me dislike it, since I like the idea of traveling and being in an area where I can have adventures and find my own way."
"You want to find your own way, too?"
