It was quiet as we all helped Val pack up. None of us could do anything, not against the order of the King.
The witch had seen a big disaster coming and she had seen Val as the hero who was going to end it. I glanced at Val, he looked devastated but wasn't saying anything.
I pursed my lips
"Val, are you okay?"
"..." He folded his shirt quietly, "Not really…" He didn't look at me and I could see how stressed he was, "I never thought I'd had to go to the capital… Much less become a hero…" He placed his shirt in the suitcase.
I looked out the door. Mom and Dad were in the kitchen, making food for Val for his journey. I looked back at my fiance.
"Well look at the bright side!!" I decided to be positive, "They choose you as the hero meaning if you win, they'll grant you whatever you want!"
"There's nothing that I want specifically..." He folded his pants,
Ah…
He's really depressed…
I bit my lower lip
"Really? Even though you have anything you want?"
