Legend of the Vampire Smurfs (Hero Stories)/Part 3

Meanwhile inside Papa's lab, Papa Smurf was busy using the Crimson Nirnroot for his latest experiments.

"Let's see, now we add one leaf of the nirnroot!" he said, as he placed it into his cauldron, just then there was knock on the door.

"Come in" Papa called.

"Papa! It's me" Hero answered.

"Hero! You're back!" Papa said, "Wonder told me everything!".

"She did?" Hero asked.

"Yes, about you finding a vampire Smurfette in Dimhollow Crypt!" Papa said.

"We did, Papa Smurf!" Hero said, "This is her! Serana meet Papa Smurf, Papa Smurf meet Serana!".

"Good to meet you!" Serana said.

"It's smurfy to meet you too. Welcome to the Village!" Papa said.

"Serana has something to tell me, but I'm hoping you could be of some help too!" Hero said.

"Oh, What is it?" Papa asked.

"Well... Hero, you know you saw my father acting rather strange around me?" Serana asked.

"Yes, and this smurf didn't like it!" Hero said.

"Well... the reason why he was acting like that around me was that he plans on sacrificing me in order to achieve some prophecy!" Serana said.

"A Sacrifice?" Hero said in disbelief.

"What sort of prophecy, Serana?" Papa asked.

"It's pointless and vague, like all prophecies. The part he latched onto said that vampires would no longer need to fear the sun. That's what he's after. He wants to control the sun, have vampires control the world. Anyway my mother and I tired to stop him. So I was sealed away in Dimhollow Crypt!" Serana said.

"If you don't mind me asking, Serana, do you know the name of this prophecy?" Papa asked.

"Tyranny of the Sun!" Serana answered.

"Great Smurfs! I've heard of this prophecy!" Papa said in shock.

"You have, Papa Smurf?" Hero asked.

"Many years ago, there was a vampire who tried to smurf this prophecy in order to make vampires rule the world, but he was smurfed by a human vampire hunter. Since then every vampire has tried to smurf the prophecy, but all have been smurfed". Papa said.

"So what do you suppose we smurf, is there anyway to stop Harkon?" Hero asked.

"We could try finding my mother!" Serana said.

"Do you know where she smurfs?" Hero asked.

"Before I was locked away, she told me she would be hiding in a cave located on the other side of the mountains!" Serana said.

"Before you smurf on this quest, Hero, smurf up supplies and first-aid, tell Wonder about it, and ask Excalibur if he wants to smurf with you!" Papa said.

"Of course, Papa Smurf!" Hero said, "Wait here, Serana".

"Sure!" Serana said, as Hero left Papa's lab.

...

Hero soon arrived at Greedy's kitchen. He knocked on the dooor.

"Come in!" Greedy called.

"Greedy!" Hero answered.

"Ah, Hero! What can I smurf for you?" Greedy asked.

"Well... I need you smurf up a lot of things!" Hero said.

"Oh, any reason?" Greedy asked.

"Well, this smurf is going to smurf on a long journey. This smurf is going to help a vampire Smurfette..." Hero said.

"Wait... A Vampire!" Greedy said in shock.

"Yes, but she's not like other vampires, she said so herself." Hero said.

"Are you sure you can trust her?" Greedy asked.

"Of course I can!" Hero said, "If she was like other vampires then this smurf would be a vampire!".

Greedy thought about it for a few moments, "I guess your right!" he said.

"Anyway, can you smurf up food for me?" Hero asked.

"Sure!" Greedy said.

"Thanks, Greedy!" Hero said, before leaving to find Wonder.

Hero found Wonder tending to the garden outside their home.

"Wonder!" Hero called, Wonder turned round and seen him.

"Hero! You're back!" she said excitedly, as the two embraced each other.

"Yes... well I won't be back for long!" Hero said.

"What do you mean?" Wonder asked.

"You know that vampire Smurfette we found?" Hero asked.

"Yes!" Wonder answered.

"Well, she told me and Papa Smurf that her father plans of sacrificng her in order to smurf some prophecy!" Hero said.

"Oh my!" Wonder said is disbelief.

"Yeah so this smurf is going to help her, stop her father!" Hero said.

"Do you know how long it will take?" Wonder asked.

"I'm not sure, it could be days, weeks, this smurf is not sure" Hero said.

"Oh" Wonder said, not liking the sound of that.

"But listen, you will always be with me, in my heart!" Hero said.

"Hero!" Wonder said softly, as they shared a hug.

...

Soon Hero was walking through the village trying to find Excalibur.

"Has any Smurf seen Excalibur?" Hero shouted.

"Last time I smurfed him, he was with Hefty and Fergus!" Dempsey answered.

"Where are they?" Hero asked.

"Out by Farmer's fields!" Dempsey said.

"Thanks!" Hero said, as he ran off.

Soon Hero ran past Farmer's fields and seen Hefty and Fergus training with quarterstaffs with Excalibur watching them.

"Keep your focus! Don't take your eyes off your enemy!" Excalibur said.

Hero ran up to them, "Excalibur, can this smurf ask you something?" he asked.

"Of course, what's on your mind?" Excalibur asked.

"Well this smurf needs your help in dealing with a vampire!" Hero said.

"A vampire?" Excalibur asked.

"Yes, there is a vampire planning on smurfing an ancient prophecy!" Hero said.

"Say no more, I'll help you rid the world of this evil" Excalibur said.

"Thanks, Excalibur" Hero said.

Sometime later, Hero had Excalibur in his sheath which was straped to his back. Greedy came forward and gave him a backpack full of supplies.

"Doctor has smurfed first-aid in the side pockets!" Greedy said.

"Thanks, Greedy!" Hero said, Papa soon came forward holding a vial.

"Take this, Hero! It might smurf in handy" He said.

"Thanks, Papa Smurf!" Hero said.

Wonder came forward and embraced him, "Please, smurf care of yourself!" she said.

Hero looked into Wonder's eyes, "Don't worry! You'll always be with me" he said, before giving her a kiss.

"Smurfette, take care of Wonder for me would you?" Hero asked.

"Of course" Smurfette said.

"We better get going!" Serana said.

Hero shook his head in agreement, as they got onboard Feathers, who took to the air and headed towards the mountains. Smurf to Part 4
