Chapter 1
Quick little author's note before you read. Thank you very much to these three for suggesting names for the Goddesses:
3) Michael870
... I hope I spelt these right, if not, then my bad, I'll fix it! Anyway, story time:
___________________________________________
Titles, the embodiment of one of the five Goddess's Divine Protection and Blessings. Each goddess governors a certain aspect of life.
The Goddess of Light: Theia
The Goddess of Darkness/Death: Helena
The Goddess of Craft: Brigid
The Goddess of Adventure: Merida
The Goddess of Life: Selene
Each goddess watches over the people they grant their blessings to, from simple farmers to the Kings, Queens, and even the Hero themselves. Sadly, those without Blessings are looked down upon poorly, as either half-breeds or "Bless-less", as people believe that the goddesses only grant their protection to those who are worthy...
When a person is born, for 5 years they are given the title "New Born" from the Goddess of life, and once they turn 5, they must go to a church to receive an oracle from one of the Goddesses that grants them their title and decides their fate in the world. Those who deviate from their fate are branded "Sinners" and will only be able to birth "Bless-less" children unless an "Offering" is made...
After getting downstairs, Klint enters the lobby of the tavern, where the rest of the party are at, staring daggers at him. Sitting opposite them is Elizabeth, in a brand new outfit, one that lets her move around more freely then the heavy armor that Sebastian and the King made her wear. Truthfully, her old armor gave the impression that she was a bulky guy, do to how bulky it looked, or at least that's what Klint always thought. Worse is that the armor prevented her from using her primary weapon (a great sword) due to the armor getting caught on itself, making her switch to using a one-handed sword.
"AH, Klint, you're here!" Elizabeth said as she got up from her chair. As she got close to Klint, Zeke stopped her with an angry look on his face.
"Wait a moment, Hero-sama!" Elizabeth gets angry by that word "What do you mean you're disbanding the party?!"
"It's as I've said, Zeke." Turns to them "Klint is the only reason I even let you four join the party, and now you all want him kicked out? Not happening. Though I know that you all will keep pestering me about it, so I might as well disband this party and start again just us." After saying that, she walks past Zeke, though not without hitting his shoulder with hers, knocking him onto the ground as she makes her way to Klint.
Zeke, after getting up, got really pissed about it. "So, that's it!? You're just going to give up on being a hero! All for a stupid Bless-less!"
The moment she heard that word, Elizabeth froze. Then, after a few seconds, she quickly drew her sword "Dragon's Bane", quickly charging at him, knocked him onto the floor, keeping the blade right up against his neck, eyes showing no hint of remorse as she stares at him, fear in his eyes.
"... What did you just call him, Zeke?..." she asks, staring at him with even more hatred than he's even seen nor felt. He knew, if he says anything else to anger her once more, he will die, so he kept his mouth shut, fear still in his eyes.
Before he could say anything, Klint calls out to Elizabeth "Elizabeth, let's stop here, otherwise you might actually kill him!" She looks at Klint before looking back at Zeke, who was still afraid. She then lowers her sword and stands back up. However, before Zeke could even get up, she stomps on his n*ts hard before kicking him at the same spot, sending him flying towards a wall, and then walks away as he groans in pain.
The two then begin to leave the tavern as Zeke tries to get up. He wanted to stop her, he wanted to make her realize that he was needed and Klint wasn't, he wanted her to know that he loves her, but now?... Now he can't tell her... He can't be by her side anymore.
Sadly, the other three are also feeling bad. With the Hero's Party disbanded, Sebastian must now return to the king and inform him of the events. Meanwhile, Rebecca was dishearten after finding out that the "Hero" would choose a "Bless-less" over her, meaning that to the hero, she was less then a Bless-less one, which damaged her pride as a mage, leaving Stephanie to try to help her sister.
After Elizabeth and Klint left, the four, dishearten and defeated, left the tavern and the town forever...
