“Did all you good boys and gorls miss me, the best Hero in this timeline~?”

[condor-herooflore]

Shengnan flinched as Condor knelt down in front of her. She was not used to such a gesture, especially one directed at her. 

“Thank you, really, but don’t take pity on me. I’ve been fighting under my Emperor- …Empress for years now. I can hold my own.” She knew. She knew it wasn’t pity, but she felt she didn’t deserve any kindness, either. If only Condor knew of the atrocities she had committed over the years, of the families she had torn apart, of the innocent lives she had cut short. 

The sorceress clenched her fists and took a step back from the kneeling woman. A fire burned in her eyes, one that had long been extinguished until recently. “There’s nothing left for me to do except kill the man who ruined my life, who set me on this path. I won’t deny your help if it pertains to that. He’s like a cockroach. No matter what you do to him, he somehow survives it.” She forced a small chuckle.

That old coldness took Condor for a moment as she tilted her head and stared at the enraged sorceress.  “And when that duty is done, when the fire or your rage finally is no longer needed, what then?”

The ice melted away, and the Hero stood back up, back to as cheerful as she was meant to be, A warmth to offset Shengnan’s anger, but clumsy without knowing the truth. “Sorry if its out of place for me to say, but a beautiful life like yours shouldn’t be consumed by unending vengeance. I hope you find something else worth fighting for.”

Condor’s made a little giggle, springing to her feet with a joyous bounce, dusting her pants off.

Condor nodded twice, head bobbing like her namesake and wild hair going all over, her shining smile still bright and welcoming. “Yup, yup! Humans are great. If you are human. Sorry if you’re not, that was terribly rude of me!”

Again, that shining smile. Her golden eyes carried a gleam that told a story, a story of another world and a story of destiny shattered. Love was reflected in her eyes, a genuine warmth for everything. “I think it’s a mix of me being pretty dumb and as you said, being able to look past the world’s shortcomings. There are longcomings to make up for it! Longgoings? Yeah! Hehehehe!” Despite that her smile dipped slightly, and that glow faded. For a brief moment, the Hero took a sombre tone.

“It can be hard. I can understand how people can’t see the world like I can, and that must be so hard. But I can still help! Oh, that reminds me! How did you become a Hero? Why d’ya do it? If you don’t mind me returning your question~?” The gleam and grin came back as if it didn’t leave in the first place.

“No, I certainly am human- I hope.” It was more reassuring than anything to know that Condor was more faceted than the sorceress first believed. Even this bubbly, happy-go-lucky person experienced hardships, yet she never seemed to falter. A shred of hope glimmered in the recesses of Shengnan’s heart, yearning for a promised life dangling just out of reach.

“Why did I become a hero..? Well, it was never really my intention,” Shengnan glanced down at the mossy stone beneath her feet, looking for the right words to say so as not to alarm Condor, “I was quite the opposite of one for a while. That is, until my leader was killed in front of me like a wild dog. By the common enemy of Good and Evil, no less.”

She paused for a moment, “I play a bigger role in this than I would like to. I became a Hero through the alliance, but I have a personal vendetta of my own.” Her steely gaze didn’t seem to match her aura. Somehow, she seemed smaller than she was. Meeker. 

There were things that Heroes knew between themselves, the shattered nature of Lore’s timeline allowed some things to come to pass that shouldn’t. Condor, even with her apparent naivete, knew the rules. Shen was leaving out specifics, and the Hero of Dragons wasn’t going to question or pry. There were just things she shouldn’t learn.

But what Condor did understand was that Shengnan had a difficult life. Thus, it was her duty to help the shorter sorceress no matter how she could. Which is why she knelt as if a knight before a princess, smile smaller but still present, her voice calm. Condor could read the aura better than she could read the tone and expression. Twas her nature. “Sounds like you’ve been through a lot. I admire that you push on despite everything going against you. It’s OK, you know, if you want to stop. You can earn quite a pretty penny doing heroism, enough to retire on. Sometimes vendettas... revenge don’t work out. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut that’s up to you, I am just a stranger after all! So I can only offer my thoughts and my open arms if you want a helping hand.”

The Hero, to Sepulchure: I’ve decided to see your threat against my life as you flirting.

“Ah well, maybe we can work one something in the future.” The Hero shrugged, the issue put out of her mind as easy as a breeze. A tilt of the head as she regarded the shorter Hero as that same breeze let her think for a moment.

“It’s simple. I don’t want people to get hurt.” She smiled brightly, arms wide looking as if she was going to embrace Shen or the world around her, looking up slightly. “This world is beautiful. The wind, the sun, the light, the sound of laughter and joy. It’s nothing like where I’m from! This beauty gave me a new life, new eyes to see it. Why would I not want to protect it? To sustain that beauty. Humans like you mean so much to me, I can’t stand still to watch you get hurt if I can do it. I’m pretty dumb so all I can do is hit things really hard!”

“Hehe, so my answer is ‘love’!”

“Humans like me…?” Other creatures becoming Heroes wasn’t unheard of, she’d just never met one so….humanoid. Even the Darkbloods had monsterly attributes. She put her thought aside for a moment.

“Love, huh? I gotta say, I respect that. Its more humble and pure than other reasons, good or bad. Either you’re really as dumb as you say you are, or you can look past the world’s shortcomings.” She paused for a moment. “It must be nice living like that.”

Condor nodded twice, head bobbing like her namesake and wild hair going all over, her shining smile still bright and welcoming. “Yup, yup! Humans are great. If you are human. Sorry if you’re not, that was terribly rude of me!”

Again, that shining smile. Her golden eyes carried a gleam that told a story, a story of another world and a story of destiny shattered.

The Hero hummed and haa’d before shaking her head, shrugging as she did. “Nope, nuh-uh, that doesn’t sound right. You had some good ideas there, but maybe think a lil further?” Not that she was going to give any advice. Condor had a doofy grin still on her face. 

The sorceress sighed, waving her hand as she did. “Nope, I’m fresh out of ideas. I may be good at remembering names, but I’m sure as hell terrible at coming up with ‘em. Condor it is.”

Shengnan studied the woman for a moment.

“I suppose every conversation with a fellow Hero leads to this moment. Why’re you risking your life, huh? Gold? Fame? A sense of justice? Or sheer boredom?”

“Ah well, maybe we can work one something in the future.” The Hero shrugged, the issue put out of her mind as easy as a breeze. A tilt of the head as she regarded the shorter Hero as that same breeze let her think for a moment.

Oh. Phew. Shengnan’s face softened, relieved by the fact that she wasn’t affiliated with Him. She herself was, in a way, but definitely not by choice. This woman seemed too bubbly and happy to ever let herself become His pawn. She hoped. 

“Shen? Yeah, that’s alright. What would I call you? Condor, as uh, unique as it is, feels a bit weird to say. I know I’m one to talk; mine is a mouthful.” Wasn’t that the name of a bird of prey? As weird as it was, though, it seemed to fit this unusual Hero. Something told the sorceress that behind this upbeat nature was the heart of a warrior, something a lot of other Heroes lacked.

The Hero chuckled a bit and stepped back, putting a hand to her chin and looking to her left. She… she made the thinking emoji, how does she know what that was. The moment passed and she shrugged. “Well… Condor is my name, I chose it myself. I’ve never been given a nickname or a shorthand of it. If you come up with something I’d be willing to try it!”

She seemed excited at the idea of a nickname, eyes shining with anticipation. 

Chose it herself? She couldn’t help but wonder what name this…peculiar person had before. Condor. Hm. The name ended with a hard use of the tongue, much like her own. Con. Con, Con, Con…nie? Connie? Connor? No, that was another name entirely. Then again, it could work? All it did was replace the “d” with another “n”. Fuck it, lets give the girl some options.

“All right, i’m giving you some options,” she paused for dramatic effect in the absence of a drum roll, “Connie or Connor?”

The Hero hummed and haa’d before shaking her head, shrugging as she did. “Nope, nuh-uh, that doesn’t sound right. You had some good ideas there, but maybe think a lil further?” Not that she was going to give any advice. Condor had a doofy grin still on her face.

Shengnan looked at the woman quizzically. The mention of chaos in any scenario made her wary, let alone the phrase “hero of” tacked onto it. Destroyer of the Shadowscythe? Understandable. Her empress had made many enemies over the years.

“No, there’s no problem at all. Just a question. Hero of chaos? What exactly is that supposed to entail?” There was a hint of aggression in her voice, and for good reason. Perhaps this woman meant chaos in a sense of being unpredictable herself, but Shengnan couldn’t take that chance. If push comes to shove, these women may meet again on the battlefield. 

Condor could sense the sudden surge of aggression from the other Hero. Oh, had she said something wrong? Must have been the ‘chaos’ moniker. Makes sense, no one wanted things to get too crazy. She held a hand up and waved it, as if to ward off a strike. “Ahaha, don’t worry about it. It’s a contract thing. I’m a Dragonlord, and my partner is the, quote, 'Black Dragon of Chaos and Destruction, destined to destroy the world.’ It’s fine, the prophecy was wonky anyway. She’s quite adorable and sweet actually! So I got the whole ‘Chaos’ thing stuck on to my name. I hope that was a satisfactory answer, miss Shengnan.”

A pause as Condor clapped her hands together and grinned widely at the spellcaster. “Oh! Hey! Can I call you Shen for short?”

The woman before Condor had a strange aura about her, one that she hadn’t encountered before. It felt… purple but not in the nice way that Tomix was, but in a strange, icky way. Like water trying to be oil. Yeah, that made sense to her. The Hero gave a nod to herself, affixing Shengnan with a quizikle stare. “You smell like eyeballs and purple. Are you sick? I’m a Hero, so I can help if ya need it.”

“I…smell like what?” She’d never recieved a comment like that before, usually ones pertaining to her appearance or attitude, but never about her scent. Did chaos have a scent? She never stopped to think about it.

“Nevermind that. There never seems to be a shortage of heroes, eh? I’m one myself, so I don’t need the help. The names Shengnan.” The sorceress crossed her arms.

Condor’s face lit up like a puppy being told that it was a ‘good boy/girl’. Immediately she strode to the shorter woman, all smiles and glow. “ “Ah! Another Hero! Thank the Avatars for Lore’s funky-wonky-weird time nonsense, right? Either way I’m glad to meetcha, my name’s Condor - Hero of Chaos, destroyer of the Shadowscythe, Dragonlord, protector of Falconreach and... well, you get the idea!”

She abruptly leaned back, the metaphorical glow not fading but she held a curious expression on her face. “Don’t worry about your smell, it isn’t bad. But! But! Hero or not, if you have a problem I’d be happy to help you with it. That’s just who I am.”

“Hey there, I know I haven’t been around a lot but I’m still me, everyone’s favourite hero! If you wanna stop by for advice, to chat or to adventure, just like this post right here for a starter, whatever that means. I’m just reading off this orb.”

Normally Mesolith's attitude led her to view humans as something that deserved to have their money taken. But looking at Condor; practically through her, she instead felt the need to toss her a silver piece and walk away.

“Eh?” Don’t by anime, Condor. She was somewhat confused by this strange individual wandering up, inspecting her as if she was an exhibit and threw a silver coin at her. This wasn’t even valid currency on Lore! Condor caught the piece on instinct, before trailing after Mesolith holding it out. “Hey-hey miss, I think you dropped this.”
