False Hero

Kelab died with a smile on his face while leaving everyone else in absolute silence. Grey whispered to himself "Hero?".

His hands were cold, his mind was numb, eyes fixed at one particular place. 

"Why did you do that!!!?" asked Miles, enraged.

But his question wasn't replied with anything, Grey still sat quietly and coldly. 

Miles walked closer to Grey as he grabbed his collar, "Why did you kill him?!!!!"

But his question was still replied with nothing, Grey didn't even look at him in the eyes. Miles pushed Greyback as he threw a punch aiming towards him, for Miles he didn't hold anything back with his punch. 

The punch connected to Grey face, knocking him off, he crashed onto the wall. But before Grey could collapse, Miles dashed in front of him, as he again grabbed his collar pinning him to the wall,

"Tell me why you killed him?"

"Because you are weak."

"Huh?"

"Didn't you hear the first time, I said that I killed him because you are too weak to do the job".

Miles face twisted into one of rage, as he asked "What did you say?"

Grey clicked his tongue as he spoke "Tsk, do you want me to repeat it?", closing his eyes Grey sighed, "I said that you are weak, you couldn't even finish him off due to your own weakness, that man was strong, he was ready to die for his daughter, but yet you were too weak to take any decision. 

Talking about weak, I am no different, I couldn't find a better alternative than killing him. He called me hero," Grey laughed as he continued "Hero, my ass!! I am a useless piece of shit who couldn't even find a better alternative than killing him. Heroes are supposed to save everyone but yet I couldn't truly save anyone, not this guy not anyone else, that's what I have been doing my entire life. I am a shitty person, who can't do anything, who is truly nothing without his ideals.

I am calling you useless but there is no one truly useless than me in this room, that's how it is!!"

Upon hearing what Grey had to say, Miles couldn't say anything in return, he tried to find words but he found himself speechless, After a second he finally spoke "Don't speak ---- don't speak like you are the victim."

"I am not speaking like a victim, I am just speaking facts that all it is. and one more thing," Grey grabbed Miles's hand, the same hand that was holding his collar as he said, "Would you mind getting your hands of me and from next time if you ever lay hands on me, I will kill you."

It wasn't a threat, the words Grey spoke were something he meant from the bottom of his heart. Miles let go of him as he stepped back.

Ranulf and Ronald didn't interfere, they both were aware their interference will only make the situation worse. They were ready to stop Grey and Miles if the things went haywire but nothing that sort happened.

But the words were spoken by Grey truly sunk into Miles, Ranulf, and Ronald and it was something they will not forget for years to come.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later they teleported with all of the bodies one by one and surrendered them to family and of course, Ranulf and Miles had to answer the cruel questions asked by the families of the deceased. 

Grey waited to see the daughter of Kaleb and he saw that she was fine, apparently, the disease went away with his father. 

Grey looked at her from above the roof, a smile curved up in his lips as he looked at her "You saved your daughter, you are truly a great father.".

Grey later teleported back to the room where Aetna was waiting for him, he looked at her, without saying anything, he slept on the rightmost side of the bed. 

"Grey?"

"Aetna." 

"Can you -----"

Grey was hesitating with his words, in truth he wanted to ask her to hold him but what he said was different "Can you---- Aetna can you massage my hair."

Aetna was confused for a second, but she agreed to it saying "Sure!!! wait for a second, I will go and borrow some oil."

"No, need, I have oil with me," said Grey as he raised his hand, in his hand, there was a bottle of coconut oil.

"Huh? ah--- why do you have -- nvm."

Aetna took the bottle of oil and lifted Grey's head to place her lap underneath his head. 

"Aetna, your lap, it's soft."

Aetna's face instantly turned beet red as fumes busted off her head, "What ---- what are you talking about?!! don't say things like that! okay? okay?"

Grey chuckled as he said, "You are cute."

"Shut up!!"

said Aetna as she placed her hand over Grey's head, she started gently massaging his head. It was a heavenly experience and eventually, Grey's eyes got heavier making him go to sleep.

Well, he was not exactly sleeping, it's just that his consciousness was dragged into a different plane. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Opening his eyes Grey found himself in a different plane. The plane he recognized very well, with just one glance he was able to figure that where he was, even before opening his eyes he could tell that where he was just by the vibe he was getting.

Opening his eyes, Grey sat up as he looked around, it was the same range of icicle mountains, same wide lake, and same forest of pink maple trees.

It was as beautiful as always, Grey's eyes had never grown tired of this place, it was calming for him to be in this dimension. 

"Hello Hello." 

It was a familiar voice, a voice that Grey recognized very well. "Why do I always meet you when I am really down?"

"Since you need me at a time like this, a mommy like me is the best solution whenever you are feeling down."

Grey's expression twisted a little bit as he said "Loli calling herself mommy doesn't sit really well with me."

Arianrhod drew closer to Grey as she asked "I can grow a pair of big boobs if you want."

"You would need a bigger body for that."

"Well, I can make my body bigger and make it look hotter if that's what you want." 

Grey stared at Arianrhod for a second before saying "No, I think I am the fan of loli body."

"Pedo---"

Before Arianrhod could call Grey a pedophile, he interrupted her saying, "I am not pedophile, it's just a matter of preference."

"So you would prefer, you younger girls than an older woman."

Grey squinted his eyes as he said "I don't like the way you put it but I do prefer that are around my age, or a little bit older than me, but I have no interest in women nor do I have an interest in very younger girls."

"But you were looking under my skirt, just the last time we met."

"No no no, that was just you messing with me."

There was a little bit of shock in the loli demi goddesses' face before she said "You figured it out?".

"No, there was nothing to figure out it was just that obvious, anyways why did you summon me here?"

"Why? can't I just summon you because I want to see you?" asked Arianrhod. 

"No, the timing is too convenient, you definitely want something from me, just tell me what it is, and by the way, can I just call you Ari? your name is too long."

"Ah, Ummm------ I mean, yeah sure!"

"Then Ari, why did you summon me?" 

Ari walked closer to Grey as she sat beside him, "I saw the things that had happened, it was sad and kind of unfortunate. I feel bad for that man."

"don't bore me, with useless emotions."

"Fine!! you usually respect everyone else's emotion except for me, I have a heart too!!" 

Grey stared at her without saying anything after a good second stare, Ari gave up as she sighed, "Okay, I will tell you, I just wanted to show you something, the memories of my old friend. You might be hating her currently but before you do anything, I want you to see this set of memories and decide for yourself about what are you going to do in the future."

"Are you talking about Arae?" asked Grey.

"Yes, that's who I am talking about."

{Author: Arae is the name of the godess of the curse.}

Grey turned to look at the distant mountain as he said "Fine, show me her memories, I want to see what kind of past does she has, but before you show me, I want you to know that I don't really hate her, but I believe that I must kill her since she is dangerous, that's all."

The shock in Ari's face was apparent as she said, "I thought you would hate her, but you are-----"
