Legacy Of Fire: Chronicles Of The F-ranked Anomaly-Chapter 67: Pancakes and Tears

"Big Brother?!"

Lena was walking around the house, She walked into Darius’s room to see him sleeping on his bed peacefully.

She opened his curtains to wake him up, but there was no reaction, and he was still sleeping, trying to ignore her.

"And you complain about me making you late." She climbed up on a stool close to his bed, then jumped from the stool to the bed, landing on Darius’s belly.

It felt like he had lost his life in a devastating crash, almost like the meteor that killed the dinosaurs. Lena, with a smile on her face, turned to look at him. She could see Darius’s eyes open, but his pupils were gone.

"Good, you’re up now."

"Do you want to kill me?!"

"If that would do the job, are you really a warrior?" She rolled her eyes as she got down from his belly.

’I mean, she does have a point.’ Azree chimed in.

’Shut it, Azree!’ Darius lay back on the bed, he was not ready to get up yet.

Lena crawled down from the bed, She turned to look at Darius, who was getting up from the bed.

"You better don’t go back to sleep, I’m heading out to Uncle Liu’s house soon, and I made pancakes."

Darius looked up with a worried look on his face.

"Don’t tell me you burnt the kitchen down while I was out!" He dashed out to go to the kitchen, he got there to see everything was clean.

He stood in shock, he was looking at it, and there was nothing making sense to him at the moment.

"Did you really think I couldn’t make pancakes?" Lena walked out of the room, looking at her brother with a smile on her face.

"Something is odd here, young lady!" Darius walked over to the kitchen, he slowly inspected the kitchen as he got the dishwasher he noticed something peculiar.

"Huh, what’s this?" He was about to pull open the dishwasher.

Lena, sweating, turned and was about to walk away.. "Gee, will you look at the time! I am going to head out now. Mrs. Chen and I have something planned. I will see you later."

"Move another inch, I will haunt you down, young lady." Darius opened the dishwasher to see all the dirty things from the kitchen she had shoved into the dishwasher.

"Now listen here! Before you leave, you are going to help me clean this mess up!"

"After I made you pancakes? You really are a big ogre!"

"Says the troll princess who used the dishwasher as a hiding spot for what she couldn’t clean! Now get your ass here!"

"Ogre!"

"Troll!"

Both of them were yelling at each other, passerbys were looking at the window, wondering if it was a brawl going on in there.

"Is it the end of the world?" A lady looked up, she wondered what was going on.

Back inside, the siblings had finished arguing they were now cleaning up the kitchen. Darius was washing while Lena was handing him dishes.

He turned to see her bringing the dishes to his hand, he saw that her eyes were all sad.

"Ughh, why did you make pancakes, Lena? I have never seen you cook anything before, so why make this?" He stared at his sister, trying to see if she would tell him why.

Lena turned to look at him, her eyes looked like she was holding back tears.

"Today is exactly two years since I fainted in the living room because of that illness."

Darius’s eyes widened, and he paused what he was doing to look at his sister.

"You made pancakes that morning, and you were telling me how you were going to look for odd jobs, and you were happy, but then I collapsed. The next thing I woke up in the hospital, since then you were taking care of me, trying to make sure I wouldn’t die."

Darius’s hands began to grow weak, he could remember that dreadful day when his sister was diagnosed with that illness, something that would rarely happen to people due to the occurrence of dungeons.

"I never saw our mom or our dad, you’re the only one I have known. I might not say it enough, but I am grateful for the way you took care of me for the past two years in that hospital without complaining once."

"If there were ever another life where we would come back, I would always wish to be your sister." Lena smiled as she turned to see Darius, tears were in his eyes, and a faint smile on his face.

"Heh, I never knew Ogres could cry." She raised her hand to clean his tears.

"Shut up, the little troll close to me sprinkled some dust." He wiped the tears off his eyes, he looked at his sister. "I love you to infinity, my little troll princess."

"I love you to infinity, too, my big Ogre Brother." Lena smiled as Darius kissed her on the forehead.

Ding!

The doorbell rang, breaking their moment. Lena ran down to see who it was.

"I see who it is!" She ran happily down to the door. Darius was smiling.

’I now understand why you fight to come back home, she’s your little treasure.’ Azree spoke up.

"Yeah, she is my little angel." He smiled, Darius looked up at the counter to see the pancake plate, he stretched his hand taking one and tasting it. The tears in his eyes flowed more.

"They are one of the best pancakes I have tasted in a while." He cleaned his eyes.

"Big brother, a handsome man is standing by the door. He is about your age and has long black hair, he looks like a character from a novel Lily showed me." Lena yelled from the door.

Darius cleaned his hands with a smile on his face. He knew it was Theo, and he also knew why he was there.

"I’m coming!" He cleaned his hands as he walked to the door.

He saw Theo standing there, with three meal bags in his hand.

"Hey, Handsome novel man." Darius snarked as he walked to them.

"Chaotic goofball," Theo shot back, he then turned to Lena. "So this is little Lena, he told a lot about you."

"I hope he told only good things to keep my reputation clean." Lena was looking at Darius.

He ruffled her hair. "Yeah, I only told him good things about you."

Lena smiled as she turned back to Theo. "Take care of my big brother, I know he is a lot to handle and can be stubborn sometimes, but he is an angel."

She turned and ran back to the kitchen, leaving the two warriors alone.

Darius smiled as he turned to Theo, and he saw the look in his eyes.

"So what do you have with you?"

"Nothing much," Theo snapped back. He smiled as he raised a file. "We will soon be going on our first raid as a mercenary guild."
