"Then why didn\'t you just said that?" I asked her, hugging her.

"I just… I was trying to find a solution. Maybe by asking you girls… But at the end, the future is so uncertain and scary… Even I, as strong as I am… I couldn\'t change a single thing." She cried. "I don\'t want you to go through those horrendous moments, through those horrible things…"

"If you don\'t want to do it, then you won\'t. You\'re our daughter before being a hero or anything…" My father said, petting my head. "The future\'s scary, yeah. It is very scary. Despite all the strength we have, we can never change a single thing. But let\'s try to change it now. Together, maybe we can find another way, a different route… It might be frightening to even think about daring to do such a thing but… There\'s no other option. Doing what they say is simply not the right thing to do anymore."

"Yeah… Your mother and your father… We will always support you and we\'ll always help you in anything we can." My mother said.

"We\'ll do this together! Unlike before, we are a big family here. We all work together." My father said. "You don\'t have to do this alone, or just with Aquarina and other random kids scattered around the world. That Hero Party bullshit can just go and disappear. We\'ll do things our way."

"Mom… dad…" I sighed, feeling more spirited. "Thanks…"

"It\'s nothing…" Said my mother. "For now, how about we sort things out?"

"Yeah, let\'s go back home, have some breakfast and we can discuss what to do more relaxed, with our bellies full preferably." My father added.

"Yeah… sure."

Like that, we walked back home. I had my little breakdown there, but all I needed were my parents to get me back up. We enjoyed breakfast and we just stopped talking about the gods, heroes, and the demon king.

We simply spoke about the world we were living on right now, not some bastards in the sky, or a weird kid in another continent, or some people I don\'t even really know scattered around everywhere. We simply addressed the problems of our town, we spoke about the nice people, the delicious food, and what my mother was planning to do.

Instead of racking our brains trying to resolve problem so far away from our grasp, what was better for our mental health is to try to resolve what we have in front of us first. Ultimately, we forgot about the Demon King and the Gods for now.

We simply said "if something happens, it will be in the future and we\'ll leave this to our future selves", concerning so much over an upcoming future was only going to kill our mental fortitude and make us break down even more.

However, something that seemed more realistically possible was the heroes. There were several heroes in this continent, apparently three had awakened, two had yet to awaken. I don\'t know if there might be more in the future.

"These kids… So you can see how they are? What a strange power…" My mother said. "For us to gather we did it by the guidance of the gods. I guess they have gotten lazier."

"Yeah, according to what I saw. They were all alive and okay. Two of them, however, the Saint of Spirits and the Hero of Wild Beasts seem to be living in the dangerous Wilderness by themselves, but they have good survival skills, I heard their voices a bit, and they were… rather relaxed even after being tired and hungry." I sighed. "I don\'t really know what might be happening to them but I want to trust they\'ll be alright? Sadly I cannot get an exact place where they are, the compass simply points to a direction and that\'s it."

"Hmm…" My mother began to wonder. "We might have to go pick them up then, at least those."

"However, not now." My father nodded.

"Definitely not now, we are too busy. If they\'re alright, then they are alright." My mother said.

"We don\'t really have time to worry about other people at this point when we\'ve got such a big town here." My father sighed.

"Definitely." My mother agreed.

"Yeah, I suppose we can leave it for later once we\'ve got more of our problems sorted out." Shade said.

"The townsfolk seems to be having troubles every day with something, and they often always asked for everything to the chief. This place lacks a lot of adventures that do chores for other people in exchange for a rewards, so the problems keep piling up. Most of them could be resolved with magic and alchemy, but we can\'t divide ourselves." Nepheline said.

"Sylphy, you said you wanted to help, right?" My mother wondered.

"I do." I said with a nod. "I am good at alchemy already; I want to go help as many locals as I can to ease your burden. Aquarina said she\'ll help too."

"Then I am in too." Zack nodded. "Count on my brawns, I don\'t have much else. But I\'ll do my best."

"Me too! Me too! I can use healing magic… and I learned Detox, Antidote, and other healing spells!" Mist said while being pumped up. "I can heal people in need!"

"I am quite experienced in alchemy actually. Also my magic has a variety of uses and I am strong too, so kiddos, I am in too." Celeste said with a smile.

"Then it is decided!" My mother said. "Sylphy, Aquarina, Zack, Mist, Celeste! All five of you shall become the Helper\'s Squad! Your task is simple, help as many people with their little yet important problems as much as you can. Of course, not for free. I will pay you all very well for your services, even if the townsfolk cannot pay you, I will as the ruler of Agartha."

"Mom… That sounds amazing! Alright then!" I said happily.

"Then it is decided." My father said.

"Alright." Said Shade.

"Yeah, I trust the kids." Nepheline agreed.

"Indeed!" Arafunn sang.

"Zack, I am counting on you." Ninhursag said.

It was time to do something for this place.
