《Hero for Hire》Arc 2 Chapter 10: A warm heart
Advertisement
As the campfire died, the wind became cold for both of them. The girl was shivering as she tried to sleep while Haru remained calm. He had already experience this and wasn't affected by the cold weather. The girl approached Haru and slept at his shoulder. He glared at her and was about to kick her. He notice that she was cold and let her sleep at his shoulder. His heart became a little warm.

The girl woke up to see that she slept beside him. She quickly backed off and tried to run away.
"Mom...dad..."
Haru began talking at his sleep which made the girl stopped. She listen to his voice as he was curious about him. His tears fell as he reached his hand.
"Please....don't...go..."
The girl remembered his mother as told her.
[When a man tries to reach out his hand as he sleeps, that would mean that he had encountered something horrible. Try to ease his suffering if you can.]
When she remembered her mother's words, she would try to hugged him to ease his pain and maybe he won't kill her. She then hugged Haru.
"Dafaq?"
As Haru awoke by the girl's body heat, he was started about what to do. He could always do what he did to the girls who tried to approached him but seeing as she was shivering, he could only chopped her head.
"The fuck you doing?"
As he said that, the girl knew her fate was about to end but...
"Thanks anyway..."
Haru turned around as he stood up. Seeing this, the girl was glad that he didn't kill her. When Haru turned to looked at her, he saw her kind smile that made his heart skipped a beat. His face began to flush as he try to hunt some food.

The girl didn't escape because she knew Haru would easily caught her but she was a little glad that he didn't kill her or raped her, yet. He exlained to her that he needed someone to test his cooking skills and check if it is poisoned or not but i was an excuse that he only need her to company him as he venture out the world.
He needed her knowledge for finding out a way to return to his world. He was sent here without any knowlegde and he didn't need adults to guide him because they were untrustworthy to him (and he was also rejected by Hughes because he didn't want to leave his inn.) And it was a perfect moment the he met her.
"I'm Alysha von Euranio."
"Haru Tomori. Just call me Haru."
As they journey together, they talked each other about their hobbies and stories. Haru relaxed that this girl's personality was good and he told some secrets to her. He didn't explained that he was from the other world but he told that he was seperated from his family. The girl becaeme teary eyed as she suddenly hugged him. As he shove her off, he felt a little sting at his heart when he seperated with her.
They continued they journey but Haru was curious about his heart. Why is my heart beating so fast? Why does my heart sting when i seperate from her? Many question arise as he didn't know himself. As he kept thinking himself, he saw a young girl charge at him. He could easily dodge but he was a little daze and couldn't react on time. As he try, to move, Haru was covered by the girl's chest as she tackled him. She pinned him down as two shadow had approach them.

"Get off me bitch!"
He toss the girl as someone had caught her. When the shadows entered the light, they were seen as people who sold slaves. They were slave merchants as they caught the slave. As they saw Haru and Alysha, both of them smiled.

But when he accidentally witnesses Sara Wilder, a new and quirky acquaintance, receive an eldritch mark of possibility from her mother, everything changes. Josh can now see marks, eldritch symbols of power brought from another plane of existence that empower the weak and the futureless, that are invisible to most. But that's not the only thing that he's seeing, as strange dreams haunt Josh's sleep and threaten to destroy his sanity. With his mind and body struggling to handle the impossible things he can now perceive, Josh has to decide: accept a mark himself, or attempt to forget everything.

Expect: -Slow build storytelling -Character details -Foreshadowing -Dialogue driven narrative -Dynamic action scenes -Some mild graphic descriptions of injury -Sexuality is a factor -No explicit content (at least not directly) -Mild body horror -Light cosmic horror Reviews and critique are highly encouraged.
