A Story (Part 3)

It was soon dinner time. And Lythia told Beckor a story.
"Long, long time ago, a monster was born. His name was Mid, actually, it was short for something which no one except him could pronounce, so we called him Mid. He was the most powerful and cruel monster of all time.
"For five thousand years, he had been torturing all the people near him. We suffered all these time, and taught every children to fight. For many years, heroes had tried to defeat him, but none of them succeed. Well, there was one, actually, but he (or she, no one knows what or who that is, anyway) didn't have enough power to kill him. So the hero put him into a deep sleep. Years had passed, and the hero had grew weak, for he had been old. We gave him potions and blessings, so that he can live longer. He should die earlier, but we kept him alive for all these hundreds of years. The hero is dieing, and so is the spell of the sleeping creature. As soon as the hero dies, the spell will be broken, and the creature will rise again.
"I went to visit him (or her) with Sophia a few years ago, and he told us to find a traveler, who could pass the first level of FCD (Fighting the Chinese Dragon), and said that the person would pass our cave in these few years. But we also have to find a magical creature, who could defeat Sophia and my power, together."
"And that is the creature, who refused to come out."
"Yes, and don't call her like that. She's amazing. Anyway, after that, he went to talk to his other visitors. At the end, he told every of us to meet him the day he dies with the people he told us to fight. And meanwhile, we should train them, who is you and the others, and prepare them so we can fight the monster together."
"So you guys kidnapped me so you can finish the quest, huh? I don't like it. Tell you something, I don't think I can do it. Plus, it's not my own business, anyway. It's something about places faraway." Beckor talked for a long time about that, and started blaming all the people. He got angrier as he talked, and so did Lythia. Lythia tried to explain many times, but Beckor wouldn't listen. Finally, Lythia couldn't stand it, and said:"come on then, and think if you can beat me, if you think you're the boss." So Beckor raised his sword, backed to the entrance, and flew to Lythia in an amazing speed. Lythia remained seated. She held a leaf between her fingers, and pushed it outwards, from slow to fast, and released. Wham! The leaf burst into pieces as it hit his forehead, a drop of blood rolled down from Beckor's forehead. Beckor collapsed and felt numb immediately. Yet he was wide awake. Lythia began to explain as Beckor stared at her angrily, and unable to move. Suddenly there was a loud noise.
