The classroom was was loud with students all over the place laughing and talking. A young man (th eamazing protagonist 4th wall break) Connor Anderson sat in the corner despite being popular he isn't the most talktive hemtends to listen to his friends then contribute to the conversation.
The topic shifted to talking about summer plans his friends made a plan to go bungee jumping but Connor was honestly afraid. "How about it conner you in?" On of his friends ask leaning in eagerly Connor shook his head "No way you know how dangourse that is!" His friends all brusted into laughter one clapping his back "Come on Cowardly Connor don't be a woos" "I'm not being a woos!" "yeah yeah Whatever you sya."
The bell rings signalling the end of the school day "See yq Conner!" They shout as they walk out the hallways fills with students eager that get home Connor one of them. He makes his way home getting off the bus and walking as he crosses the road suddenly a bright light forms a circle around his feet.
"huh what the hell!" The bright light brightens and suxks him into the ground "Ah!!" He screams. Thump. He falls to the ground, turning his head to look around, a group of people surround him three church looking people and a old man sitting on a throne.
The room erupted into cheers and clapping, "YOUNG HERO!" The room cheered. "Young man you have been summoned to the kingdom of Bahrain to serve as our young hero the one who'll defeat the great tmonster who torments our world" the old man sitting on the throne spoke.
"Huh! Oi no way our kidding me right? I- I can't fight monsters!" Shouted Conner frantically scurrying to his feet, "I mean I'm still in highschool!."
One of the priest cleared his throat stepping forward, "Young man you have been chosen from our great God Xylander, to call it a mistake is simply mocking our ways," the priest didn't hesitate before continuing "you are the great hero destined to finally put a end to the monster that haunts our world" The priest insisted.
Connor simply shook his head in disbelief, this is insane who the hell are these guys and where the hell am I! What does he mean destined hero!. "I'm not a hero...I could barely look at a bug and not be terrified" his hands shook slightly. "please just send me back!" Connor demand his voice shaking with uncertainty.
Another priest chimed in "How dare you make such a demand!." Some of the civilians who watch the scene whisper and talk amongst themselves in fear "What will we do if the great hero doesn't even want to fight the monster..." "We are all doomed!."
Connor stood firmly but with amounts of uncertainty, the king who sat upon the throne raised his staff and dropped it heavily on the throne room ground silencing the room. "Young hero what is thy name?" The oldest man spoke his voice deep and raspy small scars on his hands that suggest battle.
"Con- conner Anderson sir..." The king simply nodded "And Where thy from?" Conner awnserd hesitantly "United kingdom.." the king once again simply nodded.
"I want to go home..." Connor demand again, the king shook his head with a look of sorrow "Young hero," he started before continuing seriously "We have not found a solution to help a young hero return home...we are deeply sorry, however the rumours suggest that the only way a young hero can return home is if thy shall defeat the Monster that torments our world."
Connors face dropped from fear to complete and utter terror, he rys to form a sentence but nothing dares come out. The king notices his defeated and terrified posture, he continues speaking ,ore softly "Young hero if you truly wish to not participate in defeating the monster you are more then welcome to stay in the palace till our mages and scientists find a way to send you back formally." The room erupted into caose at those words.
"Your majesty! That's simply not possible!" One of the priest shouts "The young hero is the saviour god Xylander has chosen!" Another rinterjected the civilians and Nobles watching also erupted into shouts of disagreement.
"What about our children!" One women yelled, "And our lives!" A man shouted "Our world will be doomed!!" The room was caose.
Connor felt overwhelmed stepping back a pace before breaking out into a complete sprint which shocked the priest and guards but the king remaind calm. Connor didn't know where he was or where he was going but all he knew was that he needed to get out of this place anywhere anywhere but there will do.
As he ran around a corner he bumped into someone and went tumbling down but a strong Hand wrapped around his arm, "You...your The young hero?" The young man was around the same age as him maybe a year older, dark hair and blue crystal eyes that started holes into his face.
The young man appeared to wear a similar outfit to what Connor could only assume where the royal gaurds from throne room, "But your only the same age as me." The young man spoke his voice almost filled with disbelief, Connor pulled his arm out of the young man's grip.
"Don't call me that! I'm not the young hero!" He shouted his lips trembling a bit, which for some reason made the young man Infront of him feel a hint of... protectiveness? "Wait don't run!, I won't call you that anymore.." his voice spoke softly.
"What's your name? So I don't call you young hero." Connor looked at the young man informt of him awnsering "Connor Anderson" the young man broke into a small but visible smile, "My name's Henry Belmonte" the young man's voice replied.
