{this story is fiction do not believe in it}
The dwarf groaned in pain as he attempted to get up.
"T-thank you, young folks.."
"There is no need to thank us sir, anyway are you alright?" Kyoko asked
"Y-yes, thanks to you"
"Why did a tree trunk fall on you sir?" Dermis said while still carrying Ororon in his arms.
"O-oh yeah, about that"
The man continued and we listened to him attentively.
"I was passing by there and suddenly that tree trunk just fell on me"
"If a dwarf like you is here, is the Yoplis kingdom nearby?" Tremious coldly interrupted.
"Ahh, do you guys want to visit there? That place is actually my home town."
"That's great news! You see, we want to ask you a favor"
Dermis said while putting down Ororon and he came beside me.
"It would be a real help if you showed us the way to Yoplis kingdom"
"Oh....sorry son I can't, I'm on my way to the dragons layer"
"The dragons layer??"
We all looked at each other nervously and I asked him.
"Umm... why are you heading there?"
"My wife is very sick...I need to get a dragons scale.."
The dwarf said sadly while looking down and we all looked at him with pity.
'sigh'
Tremious sighed heavily and came towards the small man.
"It won't work"
"Sorry?..."
"Dragon scale won't treat your wife"
The dwarf got up in rage and screamed at Tremious's face.
"How can you say that!!? You can't be sure without trying!!!"
Instantly the surrounding became dark since Tremious started unleashing his aura. The aura was so strong that the man fell down in his butt and looked at the standing Tremious in fear.
'ehhh'
Ororon also fell down in pain and foam started coming out of his mouth. I quickly grabbed him and shouted in Tremuous's direction.
"TREMIOUS! STOP!!"
Tremious looked behind and saw the little boy on my arms.
"Oh! I forgot about him"
He finally stopped releasing his aura.
'cough, cough'
The dwarf heavily breathed out but suddenly he grabbed onto Tremious's leg and started begging.
"Please! Sir dragon. Pleas give me a scale!"
The man cried out but Tremious looked unconcerned and looked at the man with cold eyes.
"We dragons ourselves are not immortal. How do you expect our scales to bring you immortality?"
The man shuddered and he fell down on his knees. He placed both of his hands in his face and sniffled.
"Darla....my wife.."
We all looked at him in pity.
***
Dermis bit down on his lips and came forward to the dwarf.
"What kind of disease does your wife have?"
"Green elf, do not waste time in others matter" Tremious said sharply.
"That is your way of doing things but I can't be like you"
Tremious sighed heavily again and walked away. Ororon noticed the small conflict and was concerned in his little head. He followed Tremious, in hopes to comfort him.
"My wife....she has been cursed by demons"
"If it's a curse, shouldn't you look for a fairy instead. They are more into purifying"
The old dwarf looked at Kyoko with astonished eyes and he's eyes widened.
"R-really?"
"Yeah? how did you know that Kyoko?"
Kyoko fidgeted a moment before replying
"I just do...now we know the solution to your problem"
Although Kyoko seemed normal, her immense amount of knowledge always put Anal in an unsettling position. After all the knowledge she had wasn't familiar in these places.
***
"The plan is simple, me and Karter will go to the Yoplis kingdom and bring his wife back in this particular place. You all would visit the nearby village for supplies. Then again, going back and forth would waste a lot of time."
"Alright Dermis, but what about him"
Kyoko looked at Ororon while speaking to Dermis. It was obvious what she was implying on. Dermis could take Ororon to the kingdom now and find him an orphanage.
Ororon looked a little scared and stumbled back while fidgeting his fingers. He ran to me and clung onto my legs. I looked up to meet the others eyes. All of them looked concerned, I believe the feeling I felt in the moment was mutual with the others. I nervously opened my mouth.
"H-he doesn't have to go now, we would anyway have to visit the kingdom after this affair. You know, to learn swordsmanship."
"Hmm, you're right but I won't say that's a good idea. Sorry but I think he should come with me."
I looked down at the little boy while frowning. I didn't wish to part ways with him right now. You can say that I got attached to him.
"I side with Anal"
"Kyoko!"
I looked up at Kyoko with surprise, and she smiled at me bitterly.
"Kyoko! you know that if he joined us he would be in a lot of danger." Dermis exclaimed.
"Tremious! Say something"
"The green elf is right"
"..."
"But...."
Tremious continued while coming towards me and Ororon.
"If he can handle this, he can come"
Ororon stared at Tremious's face with determination and he let go off me. He stepped forward and met Tremious's cold eyes.
Tremious smirked a little and suddenly he started releasing his aura.
The ground shook and his pupils became thin. His yellow eyes glowed while his hair started rufling in the wind due to his own aura.
'eeghh'
I looked at Ororon and he was in the verge of tears but he didn't back down. He stood still and covered his ears tightly. The winds gushed towards him faster and faster. I became extremely worried, however I didn't do anything about it except for praying under my breath.
(Please, let him be strong)
Thankfully after a few seconds Tremious stopped releasing his aura.
Ororon finally fell on his knees and groaned in pain. He was suffocating all this time. Me and Kyoko rushed to him and Tremious spoke from behind.
"There you go green elf, he's coming"
Dermis smiled while frowning, it seems even somewhere in his heart, he wished that the little boy would come along.
Ororon's eyes met with Tremious and he smiled brightly. His ears and face flushed due to the exhaustion but nevertheless he smiled in relief.
"Ororon! You brave little boy!" I squealed in happiness while embracing him tightly.
"Come on Anal, release him. He can't breathe"
"Oh! Haha sorry"
***
Dermis looked at the sight in front of him. The sight of the laughing Anal in joy. He smiled as well while looking at her.
"Should we depart then" he said even though he did not want to interrupt the beautiful moment.
"Yes, be careful Dermis"
Anal said while brightly smiling at him and Dermis had realised that it was the first time Anal had smiled at him.
He waved his hand and said the party members goodbye and headed out with Karter to the Yoplis kingdom.
***
"Now that Dermis is gone, shall we set out too" Kyoko implied
However again a familiar sound was heard.
'growlll'
We all looked at the little flushed face again and both me and Kyoko bursted out laughing.
Thankfully the little boy was coming along. And I made a promise to myself while stroking his hair softly.
(I will take care of him, this little angel)
