There were all sorts of delicious pastries and breads I wanted to taste, so I ended convincing my parents to buy a little bit of everything to have tasty food through our entire journey until reaching the coast.

After we went to eat another snack near the plaza where my parents left their carriage, we suddenly found a small show going on, there was a man that they often call bards, with long blonde hair and sharp emerald eyes. He had long ears, and I immediately realized he was an elf.

He was holding into a guitar and was using it to sing a melody with the sound of the guitar, it was a melody similar to a story, an epic about heroes that traveled far and wide and defeated the demon king… wait, isn\'t this a tale of my parents?!

"This is the tale of the heroes, filled with sorrow, pain, and suffering. This is the tale of those that we called heroes, common people that was forced to become companions to save the world…"

"But did they truly save it? Did they feel happy with what they had done?"

"The tale of the heroes is unknown until now. What they told us might as well be just fantasies."

"A young boy named Allan, belonging to the Mountain People, an immature and quick-tempered boy that was good at using a sword."

"A young girl from the amazon tribe, strong and self-confident, but that lacked a lot of brains."

"A boy marked with his dark past, someone who had stopped trusting others, and had embraced the darkness of his heart…"

"A cheerful young man that loved to sing, and continues doing so until now~"

"A silent witch that lived in a mountain made of blue jewels, intelligent and talented, but that lacked any ability to make friends…"

"A man whose soul was empty, his eyes were dark, and his past unknown."

"A handsome man that looked into the stars every night, as he smiled happily to be alive…"

"A beautiful young girl that was close to nature, a girl that considered the spirits of the world as her friends…"

"A young man that could call lightning and wind, whose past was filled with sadness…"

"An old man connected to the beasts; a man known as the beast tamer."

"And lastly, the most beautiful and strongest, the elf that lived hundreds of years, the wielder of life and light… Despite her large wisdom, she lacked experience and was bad at dealing with people…"

"All these heroes gathered once, for the single purpose of saving humanity from the demon king."

"Tell me, young girl, do you think the heroes succeed?"

The man looked at me as the crowd suddenly directed their eyes at me. My mother\'s eyes opened wide as she realized this man… This bard wasn\'t a mere elf. However, she didn\'t said a word about it.

"They did!" I said. The elven man smiled warmly, petting my head gently and winking at me, as he continued his tale.

"Of course they did. Despite how badly matched they were with one another… Despite how much they ended fighting with each other, and despite how much they hated once between one another… They continued striving forward, guided by the wise elf and the witch, the young heroes grew up strong, and through their sacrifices, they managed to do the impossible…"

"The beast tamer gave up his life so they could defeat the evil of poison."

"The stargazing boy took down the evil of darkness alongside himself."

"The beautiful girl that loved all of nature, and whose spirits considered her their child sacrificed herself to protect everybody from the evil of the void…"

"And the man whose present summoned lightning and winds defeated the evil of the oceans, in exchange for his own life…"

"These heroes whose names we don\'t know sacrificed their lives to save humanity, they were the ones that made it possible for those that survived to reach the point they reached… they were the ones that made the impossible… possible."

"There is no real story without sacrifices, war is not something glorious, it is something that only brings sadness, sorrow, and emptiness…"

"As the corpse of the demon king laid in the floor, the heroes questioned what they had done."

"Defeating the evil of the world, would certainly save it, isn\'t it?"

"Nay! The truest evil remains within all of humanity. The evil was defeated, but it continued to remain within all of us… Deep within our hearts… It is our duty to work every day and be nice with one another, or else… we are simply no different than the demons we despise."

The man\'s story was filled with melody, the people was enchanted by it, and the last message was rather simplistic, but it made some people realize that despite having defeated an enemy of humanity as the demon king, atrocities still continued, the evil in people\'s hearts never faded away, and humanity had become no different than demons themselves.

If we wanted a change, we cannot rely on heroes, we must do it ourselves, if not, there will be countless heroes always sacrificing for us, but we\'ll never learn to be a bit like them.

"Remember to be a nice person, everyone. If you haven\'t told your parents you love them, this is a good opportunity. If you fought with your friend, this is a good opportunity to reconcile with them. If you see a person in the streets starving, while you\'re filling your stomachs every day, spare a piece of bread, a bit of water, and a warm piece of cloths. We can only change the world by our own actions… Let\'s stop leaving everything to a group of people, heroes are not needed, the change must start here."
