Chapter 365 The Other Surviving Heroes

-----

"You know? Aside from us five, there are two other Heroes that survived and are spread out in the world." Said my father. "I feel lucky to have all four of you with me yet even after such a perilous journey, to be honest. And I wish everyday those two could had stayed close to us, but they got their things to do, we can't force them." My father said while looking at mother, Shade, Nepheline, and Arafunn. He seemed to love them a lot and he valued the friendship they had forged together.

"Oh, I do remember something about the Witch of the Blue Mountain, but I never bothered asking…" I sighed.

"Well, she's quite mysterious, yeah." My father said. "But she's still a friend we shared battles and experiences with."

"She's actually the Hero of Ice and Water, she's called the Witch of the Blue Mountain because she lives within the mountain ranges of the Atlanta continent, which are snowy and glow blue due to special blue jewels growing at the top of these mountains. These jewels you've seen before. Remember the Spirit Stones for water and ice? They're blue and pale blue, they form in areas with a lot of their element, such as the top of snowy mountains. Over the years, these mountains grew to have these colors due to the rich amount of Water and Ice Spirit Stones they have growing over them." My mother said with a slightly wise and calm voice. I always loved when my mother explained to me things such as these. As I learned more, I also learned how big and amazing this entire world was.

"Ooh… She's also good at making accessories, right?" Aquarina joined the conversation. "I remember that the pendant and the earrings I had made out of Leviathan were made by her… Sadly, I lost them, but this knife is also made by her, right?" Aquarina showed her magic knife, which also had a fragment of Leviathan's Magic Core on it, this one was made after the battle with Hell.

"Yeah, that knife is also made by her, although I also enchanted it." My mother added. "Nonetheless, Felicia is a woman that dislikes crowds of people, and is pretty much like us as well. She went to live at the mountains for that reason."

"Huh… I wonder if we can visit her when we reach the Atlanta Continent!" I said while wondering about.

"Yes, it does seem quite possible, perhaps!" My mother said with a smile. "If you behave and do as mommy says."

"Okaaay…" I sighed, as my mother smiled and petted my head. "But what about the other hero?"

"The other hero is… The Hero of Gray Soul." My father said. "He's someone talented with even darker arts and sorcery than your mother or Shade. He deals with the element of death. He's a rare Necromancer."

"A Necromancer?!" Aquarina, Zack, and I coordinated our voices as we asked in surprise. A Necromancer was something big! They're amazing as mother had explained, they can deal with the death. They can manipulate souls, raise undead, and pretty much build an entire army!

"He's a mysterious guy, but we grew up with him and got to know him better… He's always been a lonely guy, even when he opened so much to us, he's still lonely. He the only one that stayed in the Demon Continent after the Demon King was defeated." My father said with a sigh. "He seemed to want to protect the demons and was seeking enough power to oppose the human nations. He wanted to… kind of become a new leader of the demons? Or something… I don't know what to say about it, but his intentions are good, he's not a tyrant or anything. And was slowly building a little village with demon refugees. Honestly, I wish him the best."

"He was quite obsessed with gaining power. To the point he would go to certain extremes. The last thing we knew about him is that he was seeking God's Treasures to gain strength…" Sighed my mother. "If he ends up stepping into my family's territory, a drama might begin, I hope he doesn't go as far as that."

"The Hero of Gray Soul… He sounds quite interesting." I said while rubbing my chin. "Wait, wasn't there a God's Treasure we left behind in the Amazon Jungle?"

"Yeah, he probably stole it." My father said nonchalantly.

"EH?!" I asked in shock.

"What?" My father asked. "We don't really know if he did or not at the end…"

"But there's a big probability that he used this opportunity. We don't want to mess with him either, and he wouldn't go as far as harming us, we know him very well…" Said my mother.

"But aren't you being irresponsible as heroes by letting one of you take such drastic decisions? What if he goes crazy with power?" I asked.

"You don't know him well, I guess, so you can't trust him. It is completely normal." My father said. "But fear not, Sylphy. We actually agree with his decisions, but we don't want to join because we have people to take care of in our own place."

"S-So you would join him in defeating the humans in the demon continent?" I wondered.

"In a heartbeat… yeah, the only thing they're doing is mining the resources and killing the natives… It would be a good redemption but… We are in our own now, we don't really want to help neither side. And whenever you grow up, you'll also have to take a decision in this matter… One day, you'll have to choose." My mother said.

"Hahaha! Come on, what with the tense atmosphere?" Arafunn said while laughing cheerfully. "Those things are not our problem, we are here right now, in front of the orphanage. Let's not think too far from our own perspectives either, or we'll end up losing our way right now."

"You're right." My father said.

"Here we are and- Ugh! This orphanage really needs a remodeling… That's it! Nepheline, we are repairing this thing today with magic, no buts!" My mother said.

"Gotcha!" Nepheline said with a smile.

It seems that the heroes were about to do somehow repair this ruinous building.
