《Satan's Little Helper》Boulders have legs?!
Advertisement
Mount Akmi, the most massive mountain sitting on this continent, at the edge of the Hieros Kingdom. It was just north of the town of Ravenport, where our young mc lives. This great monstrosity inhabits countless dangers from beasts to man-eating plants, but the most dangerous of all was the 'king' of the mountain; Dunamis. This 'king' that lives at the peak of the mountain was one of the strongest, most powerful, and one of the oldest dragons to have ever lived. Yep, there are friggin' dragons ya'll; you know, those overgrown fire-breathing lizards with dry skin, big flappy wings, with sharp claws, and big a*s teeth. Apparently, this Felicity Anhur-Tyr also lives on this mountain, and near the top nonetheless. Maybe she's friends with this dragon king? Anyways, our heroes suddenly appeared at the doorsteps of her home.
A door was in front of their faces. Timmy and Danny looked around and was surprised at where they were. One second they were at home and the next they were in front of someone's house in the wilderness at the top of the biggest mountain, ever.
Knockknocknock
The door suddenly opened, and there was a beautiful maiden.
"Hello, miss Nadya. Has your aunt waken up yet?" asked Alastor.
She merely answered with a nod and made a gesture inviting them into the house. Alastor entered first, and the boys nervously followed him from behind. They then seated themselves in the living room. Timmy looked around curiously while thinking, 'is this where we're going to live from now on? It's such a nice house… ' It was a reasonably clean home. Probably a hundred times better than their old home. Of course, it was; Nadya cleaned the home every other day and made sure that the home was nice and tidy.
BANG
Suddenly, a loud bang sounded from the floor above, and seconds later, Timmy's new mentor came to greet them. She looked like she had just woken up; her eyes were barely opened, and she was wearing her pajamas.

"Yawn. Oh, you're here," said Felicity while walking sluggishly toward them. Then she shouted, "Nadya, get me some coffee, please!" She sat down and immediately dozed off.
The woman named Nadya came over with a cup of coffee in her hand. SLAP. She slapped Felicity's leg to wake her up. Felicity woke up again, grabbed the cup from her and started drinking from it. After just two sips, her eyes opened. Like really opened… from -_- to O_O.
"Ok, I'm awake now," said Felicity.
Alastor could not help but shake his head at her behavior. Then he said, "can you let them boys know where they'll be staying and the likes?"
"Oh, that's right. Nadya… " she called for the maid. "This is my great-niece, Nadya. She'll show you where you boys will be staying. It's late so go get some rest. We can sort everything else out tomorrow."
Nadya made a gesture for the boys to follow her. She started heading for the second floor, and they quickly followed her after respectfully bowing to Alastor and Felicity. As the boys were walking away, Alastor noticed at the corner of his eye that little Danny was holding onto the book he had given. 'Hmm, interesting… ' he thought.
Nadya led the boys to the third floor; it was more like the attic, but it seemed rather cozy. She left soon after.
There was a big bed in the middle with a lamp table on one side and a study desk paired with a chair on the other. The big bed had clean white sheets and beddings on it, and the size was more than big enough to fit the two. The boys were overjoyed and turned to look at each other after seeing their new home. Filled with emotions, they excitedly ran toward the bed and jumped on it. Moments later, the boys fell asleep holding each other. Literally from the slums to this, what they would call heaven.

The next day...
The birds' were happily chirping away to welcome the morning sunrise. A gentle breeze flew by, and it was tranquil throughout the area. Suddenly, everything shook, and a loud bang sounded. Timmy and Danny were abruptly woken up. After quickly getting dressed, the two made their way downstairs to check what was going on. There was a huge boulder, with dimensions of 5x5 meters, in front of the house that wasn't there the day before. Then they saw another boulder in the distance, but this one had legs and was walking toward them.
CRASH
The boulder landed right next to the big one that was already there but was slightly smaller, 1x1 meter to be exact. It turns out that it was Felicity, Timmy's new mentor, that was moving these boulders there with her brute strength. The reason? Who the hell knows… Who in their right minds would carry these giant a*s boulders and place them in front of their house? Smh, don't answer that. Before Timmy could utter a word to question her actions, she quickly ran off. To do what? Yep, you guessed it, to get more boulders. Minutes later, she came back with a smaller boulder in her hands, about the size of 3x3 meters. After setting it down next to the other two, she ran off again.
Hours had gone by as the boys waited for her return, and it was already noon. Nadya came out and waved the boys to come in for lunch, so they followed behind. Timmy asked Nadya what his mentor was up to by gathering those huge boulders in the front yard, but she shook her head and shrugged, suggesting that she had no clue. She then abruptly said, "prepare yourself, young man." Timmy's heart skipped a beat when he heard these words. He began to tremble in fear and nervousness overcame him.
This time around, it took quite a while for Felicity to return. Lugging two boulders, one in each hand none the less. One in her left hand was about 2x2 meters and one in the other hand roughly 1x1 meters. Now there were a total of five boulders orderly placed next to each other in front of the house.
"Finally, phew, what a workout!" she exclaimed. She then dragged her tired body toward the house, kicked the door open and screamed, "Nadya! Food!" The boys were startled again, paused their spoons in mid-air and stopped their chewing. Nadya patted the boys' shoulders to get them out of their stupor and gestured them to continue their meal. Felicity was completely exhausted and slowly approached the dining table, and Nadya helped her to her seat. Felicity tried her hardest to reach for the utensils and start her meal with no avail. It couldn't be helped, she was spent from carrying those boulders all morning.
"Nadya! Food!" she cried while struggling to point at the food and then pointing in her mouth. Nadya rolled her eyes and began to spoonfeed her like a baby.
Nomnomnom
"Th-mm-ks… Mm... N-mm-ya..."
SMACK
Felicity tried to thank Nadya with a mouthful of food only to get smacked in the back of the head by her for having such bad table manners.
After finishing their meal, Felicity brought Timmy outside. She then enthusiastically pointed toward the boulders and proudly said, "TA~ DA~ these are going to be your new training tools."
