Deranged Writer's Afterword

The auction went on, new products were introduced and the people bid for them.

The girl had woken up some time ago, but she hadn't said a word. She was probably afraid.

I continued watching the auction without thinking too much about her until a small voice reached my ears,

" T-thank you, sir."

I look at the girl, who refused to meet my gaze. She did look a lot better now.

" You don't have to be afraid, your brother sent me to uh- save you.", I say trying to reassure the little girl.

" Really !", the child asked, her eyes widened in surprise.

I chuckle seeing her and say,

" Yes, you can trust m-"

'BOOM'

A loud explosion shook the whole auction room surprising everyone inside, Low tremors could be felt emanating from the stage where people wearing costumes had appeared out of nowhere,

Heroes.

" It's going to be alright.", I say comforting the fear-stricken Neela....or Neelu, I can't really remember her name.

I watch as the heroes quickly started their 'mission', the people near me had already started running at the first sight of trouble. I didn't move a muscle, instead, I made myself even more comfortable.

The heroes were busy fighting the presenter and his goons, they didn't look that strong but there was a large number of them while the heroes were less in number. This is probably just a distraction to make it easier for the students.

I wait patiently for the members of the wolf tribe to make their appearance.

Neela had somehow made her way onto my lap, she had closed her eyes and held onto me tightly.

The heroes hadn't noticed me till now, but it was just a matter of time so it would be better if they arrived sooner. I felt bad for all the people who ran away as a bunch of other heroes was waiting for them on the other side.

Hehe...just kidding.

After a couple of minutes, the door to the auction hall was swung open, and finally, two very familiar beastpeople made their appearance.

Nyad and Nephyr.

I watch in silence as they look around frantically for something or in this case someone...

" Brother ?!"

Neela looked surprised to see her brother, she tried to run to him but I restrained her before she could do so.

" Huh.....mister ?", the child looked at me confused.

" NEELA !"

Nyad screamed while running towards the both of us, I get up carrying Neela using just a single hand.

" LET HER GO !"

'Good'

I smiled seeing him trying to attack me, I was counting on Nyad's brashness and explosive character to make this work. I jumped to dodge his attack, I didn't know his full strength since we've never really fought all out but I could tell that he was holding back, probably trying to make sure that his sister wasn't hurt.

Since he was deliberately holding back his punches, I could easily dodge any attack he threw my way. I needed to put up a little fight so that they think of me as an enemy. Neela struggled the best she could but my grip on her refused to lessen.

" Just hang on for a little more.", I whispered to her.

I don't know if she heard me but she started to struggle a little less.

" AHHHHHH!", Nyad screamed trying to land another punch.

Instead of dodging, I use Neela as a human shield and made Nyad hit her instead.

Nyad's eyes widened as he watched his younger sister faint from his punch.

I drop her to the ground and crack my knuckles preparing myself for a beatdown,

Nyad checked upon his sister first, seeing her on the ground is probably going to infuriate him.

" YOU FUCKER !", he screamed trying to attack me.

I couldn't dodge, I wasn't planning to either way but as I saw his fist coming toward me I instinctively activated [Hell Fire].

Pain instantly hit my body just like last time, but this time it was a little more bearable. The black flames didn't appear even though I had summoned them.

'Pow !'

Nyad's punch lands right across my face, with the pain of the punch and of using [Hell Fire] hitting me together I could feel myself blacking out.

The last thing I saw before falling unconscious was Nyad and Nephyr looking down on me.

-War-

-Anguish-

-Regret-

-Kill-

Voices whispered into Adam's ears as he watched the destruction before him.

Even though the destruction was vast, Adam didn't look fazed in the slightest, after he was very familiar with this particular scenery.

Dead bodies were strewn about everywhere, crows 'cawed' while gnawing on the innards of those very bodies.

'It's been a while since I had one of these.', Adam thought silently watching the death and destruction that surrounded him.

Adam was calm because he knew that he would wake up soon.

.....

....

....

But he didn't wake up.

This dream wasn't ending.

Adam tried to move but as always he couldn't move when it counts.....

" LET ME OUT !"

A voice screamed out drowning all the other voices.

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

I woke up gasping out for air.

'Thank god.'

I was almost afraid that I would never wake up.

But it's strange, I'm sure that I woke up but why is everything still so dark ?

....

It took me a minute to realize that my head was covered with some kind of dark cloth, most probably to prevent me from seeing the path to the village. I was in some sort of vehicle, I could feel it moving swiftly.

I could hear the voices of several people arguing nearby,

" That's the last we'll talk about this !"

That's probably Nyad.

" But he helped me !"

Neela sounded desperate.

" You must have misunderstood dear....this man didn't have any good intentions."

Nephyr patted me on the shoulder as she said this.

Awww....it looks like Neela was trying to save me.

I listen to them argue for awhile more until the vehicle we were in jerks to a stop, I was forced out of the vehicle and led to somewhere else.

I could hear people whispering about everywhere.

I was gently led through some steps and finally arrived at some sort of raised platform.

I was probably at some kind of execution altar, the wolfpeople used a special spear called the 'Spear Of Infinity' that was said to trap the souls of the people that were killed with it to execute the people they deemed 'truly evil'.

" Urghh", I groan out as I was forced to my knees.

The dark cloth that was wrapped around my face was slowly taken off, It took me a minute to adjust to the light outside.

I could see again.

I was greeted by the sight of many....many wolfpeople staring at me, beside me Nyad and Nephyr stood glaring at me.

" This human bought one of our kind....he treated us like inferiors....for his sins, we condemn him to an eternity of suffering." , Nephyr says taking a weird spear that was ceremoniously decorated with many symbols.

Just as she was about to slice my head off, I scream,

" STOP !"

Whispers are heard coming from every direction as people were perplexed by my action.

Nephyr looked at me expectantly, taking in a deep breath I say,

" You're gonna kill me after I paid for all those beers ?"

Hearing me, both Nyad and Nephyr looked shocked.

" Adam ?", Nyad asked taking off my mask.

An awkward smile spreads across my face as I say weakly,

" Hey guys..."
