The otherworldly pixie

I forgot.

"future endeavors?" What did that mean? I had been thinking for hours now about what she meant when she said my future endeavors. Did she mean that she would accompany me for the future dimension leaps? She couldn't actually mean that right?

That wasn't possible. Pixies were naturally tiny and suited for agility, but these qualities were present to evade capture due to their inherent weakness. Pixies ranked extremely low on the monsters in terms of the ease with which I could kill them.

SSS rank - The Monster
S rank - Dragons, Drakon, Chimeras, Basilisks, Manticores, Griffins, Phoenixes(They weren't killable and i had no reason to do so as they were usually very good and understanding)
A rank - Hydra, Nagas, Medusas, Leviathan, Centaurs, Vampires
B rank - Gremlins, Zombies, Werewolves, Hell Hounds, Elves, Faeries
C rank - Elves, Dwarves, Ghouls, Harpies, Golems, Oni, Banshees
D rank- Pixies, Ogres, Gnomes, Faeries
E rank- Goblins, Humans, Kreaturez, Beasts.
Special Class(can change)- Human, Faery, Dryads, 

These were the most basic monsters I had found until now. And the monsters under D rank were rarely occurring. So I had gotten lots of amazing loot from the pixies, but this also meant that she would have to constantly be around monsters that would try to kill her all the time. I don't know why but i didn't want her to get hurt. And a more selfish reason for not wanting her with me was that it would hold me back. 
I'd always hunted solo until now and if she was there then I'd have to focus on protecting her.

As I was mumbling all this to myself, I didn't realize that she was already awake. I thought she was still out but had already awakened from her slumber. She flew up to my eyes all of a sudden and screamed in her loudest voice, "I CAN FIGHT YA KNOW?"

I fell back as i reeled from the shock of someone flying into my face.
I looked at her and said, "I know you can, but you're still extremely weak. You probably can't even use weapons can you?"
I had no way to predict what happened after that. She looked me dead in the eye and put both her hands together. She moved her hands further apart running up and down her body.

 Suddenly her palms seemed to be collected with dark red energy. It seemed as if her blood was pouring out from her right palm into her left. When her hands were about a  pixie sword's length away from each other the energy started to condense.

It seemed like a blade forming. It was a thrusting sword with a sleek edge and small body. I was surprised at how she had created it. I had travelled more than 100 worlds but even I had never come across a blood art like that. My brain started to run at 200 mph trying to understand how it was possible for her, a D-rank beast who had been enslaved by her own kind to be capable of such magic. 

She held the sword and her form was perfect. I did not understand how she knew sword arts so well when suddenly i remember her words in my head - " Another human like you had traversed into our world and I protected him from them... "
Another human like me?
How did i not realize this before? This wasn't possible. It meant that someone else had the power to traverse the worlds as well. 
Apparently they'd gotten close enough that he had taught her English. I don't know why but i felt a strange possessiveness for...?

FOR???!

I'm an IDIOT. I hadn't even asked her her name yet. 
As she held the sword looking at me with pride in her eyes, i put out my hand and she landed slowly on it. 
I asked her, "I know this is too late to ask but what is your name?"
She blinked and looked at me again. It seemed as if she hadn't realized that we didn't know each other's names yet.
her voice became extremely low again as she spoke in her angelic voice, "My name? "
I suddenly felt as if i forgot something.

I could see a smile slowly creep through her face as she spoke in the same voice, "You wanna know my name? What sort of a traveller are you if you do not know even this fact about pixies?"
A fact about a species that I didn't know?
That simply wasn't possible.

Suddenly I remembered a tale from the book I had found when I raided an abandoned Elf house.

It was a tale about a lost pixie and a traveller...
