THE LAST HOBBIT'S

18 - Trian Shimmer Brown

...'He met a dwarf and then fought'...

...*****...

Trian Shimmer Brown figure sought by Arslan comes from the dwarf race. It has a height of about 147 cm with a solid and well-built body.

Trian Shimmer Brown has long brown hair. The moustache blends with its long, thick beard. The color is also similar to her hair. He had a sharp and fierce eye, it was only fitting that a figure like this made Sofia feel uncomfortable.

Before living in the corner of Misella City which is part of the Elmora Kingdom, Mr. Trian Shimmer Brown settled in the North. More precisely in Feuer country. A place dominated by many dwarves.

Sofia and Natur involuntarily held their breaths as they looked at the figure of Trian Shimmer Brown. The subject before them showed a sharp eye and seemed very angry because it had been disturbed.

"This place is not for kids like you. So before I throw it into the furnace, then get out of here." Trian Shimmer Brown's voice made Natur and Sofia tense. The two children felt that the figure before them was impossible to joke around.

Among his friends, only An looked so innocent and even looked to be observing the flowers growing wild on the street. Meanwhile, Arslan was still expressionless and he also did not budge from where he stood.

In Arslan's hand was a small knife that belonged to Trian Shimmer Brown. Arslan held it firmly before suddenly removing the knife which made Sofia and Natur surprised not play.

"Arslan!" Sofia exclaims. He witnessed how Arslan and Trian Shimmer Brown fought with a strong, sharp, fast movement.

The fight turned fierce in a very short time.

"Na-Natur," Sofia lashed the shoulder of a nearby teenager and palely said. "You stop them. He-stop now!"

"What?" Natur flinched, "How can I"

!!!

Sofia and Natur spontaneously closed their ears. Both of them were shocked by the sound of the explosion created and were astonished when they found out that it was the impact of a small knife hitting a large wooden table.

The sturdy table with various pieces of iron on it exploded with some debris thrown in various directions. Arslan again took the small knife and attacked Trian Shimmer Brown again.

Sofia and Natur both do not know the reason Arslan attacked the weapon forger in front of them. If this is part of the reception, then it is impossible because Arslan looks really want to finish off the lives of the dwarves.

"W-what really happened?" Natur widened his eyes and immediately grabbed Sofia's hand. They avoided an iron throw that was covered with magic power until when it hit the ground, there was a loud explosive sound.

"You're so insolent" Trian Shimmer Brown fended off Arslan's fist and jumped. He grabbed a hammer, then again exchanged attacks with the young man who had a height of 130 cm.

"I need some help. I came here to Palu Salamander," Arslan opened his voice and then used his leg to kick Trian Shimmer Brown, but quickly his opponent dodged.

Arslan is back. Trian Shimmer Brown snorted and said, "Is this how you ask for help, huh?"

"really. Because it is only in this way that I would think of facing someone like you," Arslan said without a tone before suddenly exclaiming.

"Lubrianza..!" magic came out from the tip of the knife in Arslan's hand and made the floor Trian Shimmer Brown treaded slippery.

The long and thick bearded dwarf slipped to a fall. Arslan immediately pulled out the small knife in his hand and stopped just as it stuck a little more in Trian Shimmer Brown's neck.

"Hmph," Trian Shimmer Brown snorted, he smiled and said. "I've been watching your movements for a long time and have now become very confident... This is indeed you. My friend,"

Arslan took a breath and lowered her hand. He reached out his other hand and helped Trian Shimmer Brown stand up. Arslan was immediately hugged and the incident made Sofia and Natur surprised.

Sofia and Natur blinked at each other. Earlier Arslan suddenly attacked the dwarf and ended up in a fierce battle. But now these two figures in front of them are actually embracing each other like two friends who have just met after a long separation.

"How was your life all this time? Are you all right?" Trian Shimmer Brown asked and watched the face of the young man before him intently.

"My life was initially quiet, but Sir Gearl Howl came and gave me trouble." Arslan replied without a tone. He said, "I'm on a mission, so I want to borrow a gun."

"You..." Trian Shimmer Brown looked surprised before his eyes turned to Sofia and Natur. He embraces Arslan and takes the young man deeper, leaving Sofia and Natur looking astonished.

"Do we have to go in there?" Sofia opened her voice and made Natur nudge her arm.

With a serious face, Natur said. "Didn't you see that sharp look? That guy warned us to stay here."

"But..."

"Here it is, after all, it seems like Arslan and that person do have a relationship."

Arslan was brought into a room in which there was a lot of scrap metal, some even rusted. His eyes circulated watching every corner of this room and absolutely nothing changed.

"Everything is the same..." Arslan muttered and made Trian Shimmer Brown stare at him.

"After the war... I decided to keep traveling, but it was getting older... I feel like I need a place to stay. This now... It's home to me" Trian Shimmer Brown climbed up a crate arranged to resemble a ladder. He took a box from the top of the closet.

Arslan noticed it before opening the sound. He said, "This place was just your stopover. You even said that you wouldn't stay in the same place, why is it different now?"

"Because I'm sorry" Trian Shimmer Brown carried the crate in his hand and placed it in front of a table, right in front of Arslan. His words made the 1.3 meter tall young man look at him.

Trian Shimmer Brown continued, "This place is the home of a friend and the place where the regret comes from. That's why I feel like I have a close bond here. Even me.... Refusing to forget,"

"................" Arslan watched the dwarf before him before his eyes turned to the wooden crate that was starting to open.

Inside the box was a black iron hammer. It looks like an ordinary hammer, but it's not. This object is a weapon that was used by Trian Shimmer Brown and then bequeathed to him.

"I always kept it at that moment. This thing... It's been yours for a long time" Trian Shimmer Brown looked at Arslan and said, "Gearl Howl gives you trouble... Is that the search for the Dragon Conqueror Sword?"

Arslan crossed her arms and took a breath. His tone was flat as he said, "The news I heard that the races are racing to get the sword. But I do know that if the Dragon Conqueror Sword comes up... The world is going back to danger,"

Arslan said, "I want to make a sword that can fight against the Dragon Conqueror Sword. A weapon that will destroy the sword that has been shaded by the devil and a weapon that will also be destroyed after use."

Trian Shimmer Brown gasped at the young man's words, but was even more shocked when Arslan smiled but with a sad face.

"It hurts, Trian." Arslan exhaled, "I don't want to be involved in anything anymore. I'm leaving you.... Leaving everyone.... And atone for my sins by disappearing... But it wasn't enough."

"Somehow the future will be waiting for me, but now I'm back on my feet. And honestly I'm scared... Afraid that my choice is now... It will end just like the past," Arslan exhaled heavily. His chest felt tight and sore at the thought of that with both hands... The world will again experience bloodshed.
