Slowly walking back to his room, Adam pushed open the hotel main doors, ignoring any one who tried to ask about the situation. He threw the extinguisher where he "borrowed" it from.
He opened the door to his room, where the girl he slept with jumped out on him.
"ADAM !!" she hugged him tightly "WHAT`S HAPPENING ?!"
He moved her aside and stumbled onto a bed.
"Adam talk to me PLEASE" while pulling and pushing and trying to get his attention
muffled by the bed sheets "how the f**k am i supposed to know. I`m 90% sure it`s either a dream or I actually did take something strong"
"I`M NOT MAKING THOSE THINGS UP!" she started crying almost "There are dead people on the street. DEAD"
"Yea and dead monsters too. crazy right" still a muffled voice from the pillow
"ADAM how are you calm right now????? The police are not answering my phone, firefighters, ambulances... EVERYTHING!" she started to break down again.
"And?"
"And???And everything!! There are monsters, dead people and you don`t seem to care at all"
"IRIS CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT UP" he finally looked at her. Tired, covered in blood and beginning to show anger. A small sparked jumped out of his chest in her direction.
Iris did shut up and turned on the TV. instantly live feed from police shown them fighting goblins, far larger in numbers then the small pack under the hotel. Their guns not working, and men in uniforms beating the monsters with batons, armed with shields and field knives.
They actually seemed to be doing fine, for a while. Then more goblins came, and they started to have better weaponry, some became larger, some faster or with bigger claws. And after time, the camera man dropped the filming and ran away.
Quick channel change - same situation but this time civilians fighting, just like Adam and the random people with him.
Other channels the same thing.
"SEE??? The world is ending, the army is doing nothing and you.... you just ran out there, with nothing. YOU LEFT ME HERE ALONE" she threw the remote at him. it bounced off of his arm when he tried to catch it.
"And I did a hell of a good job with those f****rs" he smirked a bit "Imagine what could I do with a real weapon " his flames shot out a few sparks again " get me a sword and I`ll clear the bastards in the whole city"
Sparks became more intense, Iris finally seemed to notice them.
"NOW WHAT" she moved back
Adam looked down at his chest
"Huh" he touched his shirt "I don`t know. Never happened before"
He finally got up from the bed examining the sparks
"You wanna touch?" he looked at her with a grin
Iris stood away from him, but slowly came closer to him.
As her fingers touched the orange particles, she felt slight warmth, not the one you feel from a bonfire, but a pleasant heater in a cold day.
"There`s something.... hard in there" she moved further in.
"What" Adam started to panic a little "WHERE" he tried to find the hard thing on himself, and there it was. a slight bulge in the middle of the sparks, covered in little flames.
Sort of instinctively, he grabbed it and pulled, and as he did a cloud of smoke and flames and sparks and heat shot out of him, covering Iris`s face.
"AAGH What are you doing" she had to step far away.
*beep beep* the smoke alarm went off
After a while, the smoke cleared leaving Adam in the middle of the room holding the hard-thing.
A proper weapon he wished he had, new and shiny sword, an arming sword to be precise.
With a white handle, golden accents and a cleanly sharp edge, it stood out greatly in the hand of a modern man. But for some reason, his body was physically ready for it, with muscles made for swinging and thrusting, Adam didn`t have to change his posture to hold it.
Iris was even more confused then before, while Adam started to admire the weapon.
"I like it" he said to her, " I like it very much"
