The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 13: She\'s a He.

He cleaned all the dirt off the stable and finally ate his breakfast at 10 am. The maids and other soldiers of the duke seem busy because something happened inside the main house.

A man came closer to Viktor and asked him,

"Oi, have you heard about the assassination inside the duke\'s main house?"

"Assassination in duke\'s house? Is someone dead?"

Viktor was surprised because there was nothing about any assassin\'s presence inside the house.

-Well it\'s a real world of course...

"Some assassin was hired by an enemy of the duke to kill his butler and stole his valuable mana stone from his basement. But luckily, no one was hurt and the assassins were captured by the knights.

"Really? That\'s good then."

-So it\'s not an important matter to mention in my novel anyway.

"Yes, and the duke is increasing the first wall security. The second wall will be out of guards surveillance. Are you going to be okay? Your room is so far away from the first wall.

"Don\'t worry, I will be fine. And who will attack a mere stable worker like me?"

"Oh, the neighbour kingdom suddenly went to war with the other kingdom beside the sea. They say the refugees are entering the border. We will have to work a lot if the king orders the duke to take care of them"

Robert said.

"I hope that never happens "

-it\'s never going to happen. We will just get more lands and treasure on other hand.

The man left with an apple from the table.

"You can come out now, I can still see you."

Viktor saw the fairy flying around him invisibly.

"You can see through my skills. No wonder why the guardian of knowledge gave you his power."

She sat on his shoulder and asked for a piece of apple he was eating.

"Tell me why were you locked in the well. "

"Oh, that\'s really a sad story. I was banished from the realm of the guardian by the great one and only creator.

We, the guardians follow a strict rule given by the creator. If we disobey him, we will be punished.

I followed the rules ever since I was created, but I accidentally did something wrong, so I was punished. At that time I was angry, so I pulled a planet\'s water too much and it created a big mess.

And the creator got more furious and banished me.

After that, the water guardian came and again punished me. So, I ended up in the well. As a wishing fairy. A thirsty fairy who just wanted a glass of water in exchange for her power. "

"But you also like gold -_-."

"Ahah.. haha. Aaa. Yes. I like gold. It\'s so shiny and beautiful. Like a star in the sky!!"

-is she a kid?

Viktor was already exhausted by her noisy mouth.

"Now you\'re just a fairy, right? Not a guardian." He asked.

"Yes, I am just an ordinary fairy with a small amount of power within me. I don\'t have any power to fight with a goblin."

"You don\'t have to fight a goblin. Oh, come to think of it, since you\'re a fairy, you can turn into your human form right?"

"Into a human? Umm. I can do that.", The fairy said.

"Why don\'t you try, it\'s more convenient to walk round in human form and to talk with other people. No one will suspect you."

"I can give it a shot."

So she flew off his shoulder and cast magic which was floating around her body. Her arms started to grow and her wings disappear. Her black space-looking skin turend white like a shining diamond, but,

He was speechless.

The lady fairy turned into a boy with small space like black hair with white gems that resemble the stars. His eyes were pure black with a small sun in the middle of them. And a huge moon crest on his chest.

He looked like he was a boy in his 18.

"You\'re a boy," Viktor said.

"I am a boy from the begin with. Why, did you just judge me by my appearance?"

"No, never mind, forget what I just said."

"No, come on. You definitely thought of me as a girl didn\'t you !!"

"I didn\'t -_-."

"Ah, ok I forgive you. Now tell me why do you work in this dirty place with all that powers?"

"Because of a little boy. I will leave this place after a few months anyway. Then come back to the city after 5 years. "

"Where are you planning to go?"

"The academy. But what are you planning to do? "Viktor asked.

"Hmm. Since I am out of the well, I am planning to follow you," he said.

"You\'re saying that you\'re broke and you want to suck on my money. "

"Heheh" the fairy laughed.

"Then you have to work for me. I can\'t feed a homeless broke person -_-."

"Come on!! I am the great guardian of the moons and stars! How can you order me around? "

...

Viktor gazed at him for a couple of minutes and he finally gave up. He agreed on working for him and call him Viktor by his name.

At the time of the sunset, Alberto came.

"Who\'s that?" Alberto asked.

"Me? I am Astraeus. Or you can call me Rae." The fairy said.

"Astraeus? That\'s a weird name. Do you know big brother?"

"Yes, I know him. He\'s my saviour so I am just working for him for paying him back."

"Oh really!! He\'s my saviour too!"

Both of them started chattering loudly so Viktor stood up and said,

"Enough, now on to your lessons. I want to see how far you\'ve developed. Did you bring the wooden sword?"

"Yes, I did brother!"

"Ok let\'s go out and see what are you capable of."

Three of them went outside for night class. Rae sat on the wooden roof of the house while Alberto was practising dual swordsmanship with Viktor.

Weeks passed and Alberto matched with the 3-star knight level skill. So Viktor raised the difficulty and gave him two real swords and flew at him to attack.

It was hard for him the first time to fight one on one with a real sword but he managed to fight with him after a few weeks.

Then one day.

"Big brother, I want to hear a story!!"

"A story? I see. Then you have to accomplish something first. " Viktor said.

"Really? Do I have to run 20 laps while fighting with you?"

"No, it\'s something else."

The way he smirked at him scared the soul out of both Alberto and Rae. They knew he wasn\'t thinking of something good.
