《The Heroes' Story After Saving the World》The Matter of Reparation - Final Part
Advertisement
After another taste test by Babylonia and Crimson the girls left and Crimson and I had to get back to work.
The salve seemed to have done its work. I could move without a problem, but I tried to avoid the sun. No need to repeat all that stress.
By the time it was evening Crimson had cleared all the rubble. It was an odd sight for sure, a fallow area in the middle of a city densely packed with buildings. Soon the rebuilding would begin.
Crimson and I took a good look at the fruit of our labor, when I noticed Crimson once more acting a bit awkward and aloof. Where did his usual loud and boastful energy go?
I was just about to ask him if he was doing well, but then he said: „Sorry for all that chaos ...“
The way he said it didn’t really suit him. Neither with how he usually acted, nor with his rowdy-like appearance.
„Huh? Oh, you mean because of the buildings?“ I asked.
That was weird. I mean, it was great that he apologized. I never expected it from him though and never asked for it either.
„Oh, yeah, completely forgot about the buildings. No, I meant just now, with you over-heating and everything ...“
„That’s ... cute? Not really your fault though ...“
He let out a soft growl. „Ugh, it is though. I should have looked out for you more. Not to mention, we were out here because of me knocking over a few buildings by accident. I’m the exact opposite of cautious. And I’m sorry I’ve been a bother to you so far. I promise, I’ll do better in the future.“
I smiled at Crimson.
„Don’t worry, you’re doing better already. You helped with the rebuilding project, and you flew to get me that potion. You know when you mess up, and you’re doing your best to repair the damage. I mean, boy it would have been baaaaad, if someone had been buried by the rubble ... sorry, too soon.“

I’m not sure if Crimson was biting his lips to hide a chuckle, or because he cringed so hard at my bad joke.
I sighed. At heart Crimson was a good guy, so of course I did not want to be too hard on him. He had already made some friends as well. But the scale of his „accidents“ was too grand to just gloss over.
„Thank you for saying that,“ Crimson responded. „You have a good heart, and always see good in people. No wonder you get along so well with everyone. I hope that one day people forget about the monster, that destroyed their houses and ... start seeing me as their friend.“
„Don’t worry, you have plenty of friends already,“ I said. „Guess that means you’ll stick around for a while?“
„If you don’t mind ...?“ Crimson asked sheepishly.
„The city is open to anyone. I think Babylonia and Jeanne especially wouldn’t mind your presence. And tomorrow we’ll start reconstructing these buildings, so if the city can profit from the power of a dragon like you, I‘m sure they wouldn’t say no.“
„How very shrewd ...“
„Can I expect you tomorrow at the same time then?“
„Naturally, I’ll be there to help!“
„Sounds great!“
I gave Crimson my hand, which he took for an energetic handshake.
The first of many to come for sure.

Among the vast expanse of the realm known as the Outer Fantasy exists a group of sorcerers by the name of Changelings. They steal the memories and the very essence of normal people in order to perform a strange ritual in which they extend their lives by hundreds or even thousands of years and change their bodies to the extreme. In this devilish process most of the people used die. But a few survive. These unlucky men and women are just a hollow shells of their former selves. They are people with shattered minds and stolen memories. The brands of the ones that brought them to this miserable state are engraved in their skin and both their bodies and minds are damaged by the sorcerers. They’re pitied by some, hated by many and ignored by most. And worst of all – they’re doomed to live their remaining years in this crippled state, isolated by the rest of the world and without a way to heal their injuries, both mental and physical. But deep inside of them lies a spark of the power that the mages used to shatter their minds… The name of these miserable beings is the Undone Ones and this is the story of one of them. His name is Ehrir and in the lowest point of his seemingly unending life as an Undone One he finds the power that can change his life for the better… or worse.
