Maylon’s POV:

I am trapped here. Trapped in a prison. I hate my parents. It’s because of them I am here. I never wanted to be born.

I am miserable.

I miss grandfather - he is the only one.

I want to go back!

“PLEASE SOMEBODY LET ME OUT OF HERE!!”

“…”

There is no one here who can see me or hear me. I am trapped. Why am I here? What have I done wrong? I don’t want to be a Guardian….

Oh no! What is happening to me! Why is my body shining! I am becoming lighter…I am floating….

I tried to desperately grasp on to the straws of my bed….but they slip through my hand….I am being teleported against my will! Are they going to kill me?....No…I …must have been selected…as a Guardian…but who would want me? I am useless.

I am out of my prison and I stand beside a young boy. He looks around my age. Is he what everyone calls an adventurer?

He has a dirty smile on his face. It’s a lewd smile. He stares not at my face but elsewhere…I am scared. He asks for my name but I am too frightened to say anything. I think he senses my fear and doesn’t ask any more questions. I am scared. I think he has plans for me. His gaze shifts elsewhere…

I can see grandfather! He is handcuffed! I need to free grandfather!

“Please take that man as well.” I barely managed the courage to say those words. Did he hear me? Was my voice to weak? Will he listen to me? He has that disgusting smile on his face…I am terrified. I think I might cry.

“I’ll take him too.”

Ara? Did he just say he will take Grandfather too? Maybe he isn’t so bad.

“Sora-chan…I advise you against purchasing an old human….they tend to only live as long as their lifespan. That means at best he might be helpful for another 4-26 years…” I can see a cricket speaking. Shut up you devil! I remember you! You visited us before we were captured! I know you threatened grandfather into this!

“I’ll take him, I repeat.”

This boy is confident. He isn’t wavering; is he doing this for me?

Grandfather has appeared in front of me! Grandfather is thanking the Gods for freeing him. I can see he looks worried.

“Maylon!”

“Grandfather!” I was so scared. I don’t know anything about being a Guardian! And this man here was giving me such dirty stares….I was so scared. I want to cry. But grandfather is holding me firm. I think he wants me to know that I cannot show weakness in front of this man.

SoraChan is a funny name. I don’t I have heard of a funnier name. Grandfather agrees with me, it’s a peculiar name.

I don’t know much about being a Guardian; for now I can only listen to what Grandfather has to say. However, it seems that this adventurer doesn’t know much about this world either. He has stopped showing those lustful stares. I think he realizes with my grandfather around he needs to show restrain….but then why did he pick my grandfather? I only requested him…maybe there is deeper meaning….

I guess the beginning of grandfather’s conversation was interesting. I had no idea my grandfather had been a Guardian six times. I mean I knew he had been a Guardian…but six times? Isn’t that a bit too much…. Maybe there is something for me learn more about being a guardian….

Bah! Grandfather’s conversation is too boring! He is only explaining the adventurer the most basic rules. Everyone knows this. I have been taught about the four laws since I was a child. Do these adventurers know nothing? They will die quickly in our world….

I don’t want him to die. This boy is still young. Although, he was looking at me in an ugly way…he saved grandfather for me…I am in his debt.

Grandfather is taking questions. Maybe I can ask one as well…

“How do you make those glowing symbols in the air?” The young man asks.

That impertinent brat! My father is explaining the most important rules and he asks such a shitty question! Who does he think my grandfather is!

I think grandfather has decided to ignore his question. It was rude indeed. We now have another companion. It’s a cute little boy. Though, I need to be careful…he’s from a tribe that is fond of blood. This boy’s glare is cold. We asked him for his name but he refused to reply. I am scared that he will kill us in our sleep.

SoraChan wants a new body. I want a new body as well! It’s unfair that these adventurers get to new bodies. That’s why they all become so strong!

“There are adventurers who select 100 guardians. There are those who select one only. There are even those who dare to not select any. I guess it is quite possible for you to create a new body and power then continue selecting more Guardians. If you wish to create your body first and then Guardians, it can be done. However, I cannot assist you in matters of which body should you choose or what power should you be blessed with.” My Grandfather is wise indeed.

SoraChan said “Select Race” and fell unconscious.

Before I could go to his side my grandfather raise his hand.

Some people emerged from the shadows. Were they the ones who knocked him out? They are all wearing mask. Although, I cannot see their faces, one of them has a particular scent. These men are strong and dangerous. I am scared.

“We can talk now.” Grandfather said after they took SoraChan away.

“Grandfather! I was so scared!” I can finally share my worries.

My grandfather shook of my embrace. “Maylon! Listen to me, you can no longer feel scared! You can no longer be worried! You are an adult now! More than that you are a Guardian! A Guardian has no weakness! Have I not told you that! I too am a Guardian now and you can no longer address my as your grandfather!”

“Yes…but…you are my grandfather!” Why? Why is he saying this to me? Is he not glad to see me? We have been separate for so long!

“Then I am no longer your grandfather!” The Abbe spoke with some grief and resentment in his voice.

Tears are over flowing from my eyes. This is too cruel.

“My name is Abbe Faria and that is how you will address me. “

I can only nod weakly.

“Remember, he is our Master now and it is our duty to lay down our lives for him. Remember all that I have taught you and put those lessons now into practice.”

There is no compassion in grandfather’s word. This is not advice this is a death sentence. Why should I have to die for someone else’s sake?

“This brat is a Guardian?” The little Garzala (Garzala refers to one from the Garzal Tribe) spoke up.

Grandfather…no…Abbe Faria frowned. *sob*

“She may not look it but let me assure you that she has the makings of a Guardian that will surpass you someday.” Abbe Faria spoke with his chest swelling with pride.

Ah! Grandfather loves me! I cannot be weak! I must grow stronger!

The little Garzala snorts in mockery of me. “We will see.”

We are waiting here.

We are waiting for our Master to return with his new body.

How long has it been? It’s been nearly two hours I think?

I hear something.

“Master?” I call out. I shall be the one to greet him first. I will show this snobbish brat that I am no weakling.

“Coming…” came back a very deep voice. It had a slight sexy ring to it. Oh no! What am I thinking! Did I just think my master’s voice was sexy? Is something wrong with me? I must get hold of myself! What if he took on the body of a Centaur? Now that is not sexy….well maybe it is…no good…there is a scent in the air….

Abbe Faria moves up front and places his hand forward. “Dispel.”

My senses are clearing.

I feel normal now.

That was low.

Did he get himself a succubus body?

I knew he was lewd.

I am ashamed my master is very ero.

This is going to be hard for me. I cannot accept such a master.

I see something moving in the shadows….

“Master?” The Abbe asks with his voice filled with horror.

The young man stands in front of us….his body completely changed…it's to horrifying to describe!

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” I let out a scream before fainting.
