10. Throwback II

"Throwback Part II “

"For a moment I ran and picked up the sword. I no longer thought. All that was imprinted in my brain was to save Avana. I ran and just rushed to the big Orc... And that is the start, the beginning of how I became a hero here in the world of Fairies. "said Grandpa Gusting.

Everyone is disappointed and...

"What is that! Hang on! Old man, your story is awesome! It's beautiful... Why you hang us?!" Blade's complain.

"That's right! You haven't told us how your heart got kegtot! There's no romance yet! Go ahead, Grandpa Gusting!" second by Drake.

"Really, Grandpa!" Hunter also reacted.

Ai and the Crescent and Baste are also reacted...

"Dad, we don't know that story yet... All right, we want to know how you and mother met!" Crescent’s tease.

Grandpa Gusting sighed violently and looked at everyone.

"If you want me to continue my story, give me coffee so I don't fall asleep. Son, make some coffee. I've been wanting coffee for a while." at the same time look at Crescent.

Crescent suddenly looked at Baste and...

"Make some coffee." its command.

Baste also suddenly looked at Hunter.

"Brother Hunter, coffee."

"Uy, Drake... Make some coffee!"

Drake was a little shocked but recovered immediately.

"Ai, make some coffee!"

"Blade sensei... Make a coffee!"

"Uy, Old man... Make some coffee!"

"Oh yes, I’ll make some coffee, wait..."

The old man stood up and was about to walk when it suddenly stopped. Avana, who was on Baste's shoulder, giggled.

"Abuwisit ak pa! You all are rude! Eh I'm the one who asked a coffee ah! You just returned my order to me! Anak na lase!" Lolo Gusting said angrily.

Everyone frowned.

"Just relax, Tanda! Your heart, you might be attacked in no time eh. Don’t be made there! But unfairness, you will also be able to swear when you get angry..." Blade retorted.

"Why, who is an angry person who can still speak well, huh?"

Blade laughed and everyone... Then Blade spoke again.

"Just wait Old man... Where is the funny Tikbalang in your story? Your friend, Tars?" Blade asked curiously.

Grandpa Gusting was stunned by Blade's question. So was Avana, her face suddenly darkened and she cried... Silence prevailed over everyone. Blade stared at Grandpa Gusting's face for a long time and could see that he was there shedding tears in his eyes. It smiled sparingly... Crescent stood up and sighed violently.

"I'll make the coffee! Let's all have coffee!" it raised the voice and broke the silence.

Everyone smiled here...

"All right, I'll help you." Presented by Hunter.

It stood up well.

"Old man, it's okay with us if you don't want to continue your story." Blade said to Grandpa Gusting.

"I will continue my story because it includes Tars. But, before that... I want to drink coffee first."

"Okay, Dad!" Crescent answered enthusiastically.

Grandpa Gusting sat down again.

"Maybe while we are waiting for that hot coffee eh. All we can all talk about is the courtship then. Like serenade, service. So that we can help Ai." began by Drake.

"So that! I just want to ask, Oldman. Of all the women you serenade before... How many spilled arinola on you? Ha ha ha ha!" Blade joked.

(arinola-chamber pot used as a portable toilet, meant for nocturnal use in the bedroom.)

Grandpa Gusting smiled proudly and scratched his nose.

"I'm sorry, child but... Not to brag ...I don't have to serenade because women are the ones who spontaneously approach me."

Grandpa Gusting even adjusted the collar of his clothes and looked at everyone arrogantly.

"If you don't believe why don't you ask Avana." Grandpa Gusting added.

Avana wiped away the tears then she laughed softly but did not speak. Blade and Drake were just shaken. But even so, Grandpa Gusting also told a story about courtship back then for Ai...

Moments later, Hunter and Crescent arrived with each other carrying a tray with mugs... They laid the luggage on the table in the middle of them and when the trays landed they immediately took everything of respective mugs. The fragrant aroma of coffee smells around. Blade first sipped coffee...

"Whoa! It's delicious!" he exclaimed as he tasted the coffee.

"Of course. Its natural. Pure and without any chemical mixture. That's premium coffee beans." proud language of Crescent.

"Wow! Can I ask for coffee beans then?" Blade said again.

"Sure. No problem."

They were all quiet at first while sipping hot coffee... Soon...

"Ehem! I'm ready to continue my story." Grandpa Gusting said to everyone.

They looked at it and focused their attention. Grandpa Gusting started talking again. The events of that time came back to his mind...

Guile can no longer handle the visible scenes. He looked at the sword of the wounded Elf who was lying near the tree where he was. He suddenly came out of the giant tree where he and the elves were hiding.

He quickly ran the sword and immediately picked it up. Then he ran again. He bravely rushed to the place of the big Orc with the sword...

"Let go of my friend!..." he shouted as he started.

The fairies were stunned, especially the Elves and were shocked to see the big Orc approaching Guile...The big Orc tried to strike the young man with his stick, but he quickly jumped in the left direction to dodge his attack.

In those moments, Guile did not feel any emotion. He turned his attention to the right hand of the Orc who was holding Avana tightly. He ran fast and jumped . Using his sword, he stabbed the Orc’s arm.

"Mwaaaaarrrrh!..." a loud growl escaped the Orc.

He let go of Avana who he immediately caught in his left-hand . The Fairies who were watching shouted. Guile's eyes widened when he saw the big stick held by the Orc pointed at him. It will strike him. But...

"HYYYAAAA!..."

Tarse came, he kicked the Orc hard and it fell. It slid many times and many buildings were also destroyed, some trees were also affected.

"Thank you, Tars! You're great!" his language was lively.

It thumbs up at him. He released Avana from his palm, it landed on his shoulder. The Orc got up quickly...

"I'm going to run the Orc... Help me both!"

"All right!" Avana replied.

"I'll change form! Ride behind me." the language is Tarse.

After that, a white light covered Tarse's whole body. There was also thick white smoke around. When it subsided, Guile was amazed to see Tarse's form. A very beautiful black Stallion. He quickly rode behind it and then Tarse ran fast towards the big Orc.

His big rod full of thorns pointed at them. When it was time to strike with them, Avana made a water barrier. Tarse jumped high and they passed the Orc. But it also immediately turned in the direction where the Orc was.

"Listen Tars... Jump high again like you did before. After that, I will jump to target his chest. I think that part of Orc's body is soft..."

"I understand..."

He tapped it gently and that was his signal. It jumped and immediately ran fast towards the Orc. It jumped and...

"Water Shie- Aaaaaahhh!..."

Avana was repulsed by the big Orc... That's why, he was able to use his big stick. He hit Tarse and Guile but before he could finally land his weapon, Guile immediately jumped. He aimed his chest and stabbed him.Tars, on the other hand, fled due to the beating, when it fell, its form immediately changed, it returned to normal. Meanwhile, Guile continues to stab Orc's chest...

"Aaaaaargh!..." he muttered.

He received a strong blow to the back from the big hand of the Orc ... How many times like that until he vomited a little blood. He think his bones on his back were crushed! But he is determined... His eyes widened as the Orc touched his body. It forced him to lift into the air. That's all, he stabbed hard in its chest and held his hands tightly to the sword. His eyes hit the Orc's neck. He violently pulled the sword out of its chest... It moaned loudly.

"Mwaaaaaarrrrh!...."

He was violently lifted into the air by the Orc. But he drew his sword around its neck. He waved it and cut its neck. A lot of blood spurted out, his face was splashed. Suddenly the Orc fell to the ground, and he even landed on its body. He immediately stood up. And then he looked at the monster. He stabbed its neck and he completely cut off his head. At that moment, Guile was not on his own. After he cut off the head of the Orc he suddenly fell down. Avana quickly joined him, she called the other Fairies. Tarse also got up and immediately approached where they were...

Guile could not explain the pain he felt in his body the moment he woke up. He was not sure if he would still be able to get up. Even though he was frowning at the pain in his body, he forced himself to lean on the back of the bed. He looked around. The wall is made of crystal. He also looked at the blanket that wrapped around him. It was very white and very soft on the skin. He could feel it because he was not wearing any covering on his body, except for the bandage wrapped around his wounds. The bed was near the window, he looked outside. The surroundings were very nice, he looked far away from the place where the commotion took place. He was suddenly worried when he thought of Tarse and Avana.

"How are they? What could have happened?"

He heard footsteps approaching. The room around the room was full of dancing curtains. It was white. He was stunned and his heartbeat suddenly quickened when he saw the creature approaching him. A woman, a very beautiful woman. Her long, black hair up to her waist was blown away. It was a bit wavy, she was wearing a black dress. She had a modest body. It had round green eyes. Its red lips were smiling brightly while approaching him. And she was carrying something. He blushed suddenly when he saw what she was carrying. His clothes! His face was very hot and he did not know what those moments would do...

"It's good that you're awake, human. How are you feeling?" the woman ask.

Her voice is soft.

"I-I'm fine even though my body is still a bit sore. Tell me, where am I? Aren't you a human being?"

"You are here in my brother's house. This mansion is close to the Elves' palace. You are right, I am not a human. I am a Fairy, my older brother Fantine and I are the doctors here in our world. By the way, I'm Fiara, and you?" Her voice was casual.

"I'm G-Guile Medheart. Tell me, how are my friends? Avana and Tars?!"

Amuse that Fiara looked at the person in front of her. It even got to remember others despite its condition.
