CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Moving Pieces
The tavern was run down and smelled of old ale, as a tavern like this should. at the end of the room she saw the group that was interviewing her.
"Ninya over here!" A blonde man with a mark of red in his hair said, motioning for her to come over. A half elf with pigtails sat next to him. Ninya smiled nervously and sat across from the couple, next to her was a girl with short blonde hair.
"So, this is the one you talked about?" the elf asked. The man shook his head.
"Imina, you're being rude to our new member here." the man said.
"Just because Arche can verify she is a caster, that doesn't mean she's a good one." the elf said. Ninya was surprised the man said she was the new member... like he'd decided to take her along already. The one called Arche sat next to her and looked at her with pretty blue eyes.
"I'm sorry, we've been talking about you liek you were not here... Hello Ninya, I am Hekkeran, this charming lass next to me is out ranger Imina, don't let her personality fool you, she's actually pretty hard to get along with. At this jab, Imina looked ah Hekkeran with glare but said nothing. Ninya smiled at the joke.
"The one next to you looking at you like she can see through you is Arche... she can see how powerful casters are," he explained. Ninya turned to Arche.
"Oh? And am I strong?" Arche gave a "so-so" motion with her hand.
"I guess... you probably still have lots to learn, as do I." Ninya looked at Arches gear, she was in worse gear than the rest of the group.. even Ninya had a better staff than this girl.
"Anyway, we have another member but he's off doing charity work, out cleric Roberdyck... with the five of us I'm sure we can do well out there, anyway Ninya, we decided to hire you id Arch gave you the nod, and she has so... welcome to Foresight!" Hekkeran said offering Ninya her hand, she shook it and smiled. Imina didn't seem too pleased but still forced a smile. Arche was smiling and shook her hand as well.
"So Ninya, where are you from originally?" Hekkeran asked taking a drink from a mug he had in front of him. The elf seemed to be ahead of him as she had three empty mugs next to her.
"Well, I recently left the Re-Estize Kingdom..."
"Oh, good timing on that then!" Hekkeran said, but the look of confusion on Ninya's face told him she didn't know what he was talking about, it was recent news after all.
"You really haven't heard? The Re-Estize Kingdoms capital is gone..." he said looking as though he was not joking. She didn't understand...
"Gone? Like..." Ninya asked, Hekkeran made a "poof" sound and motion.
"Gone... some kind of Demihuman made the whole city vanish, this happened about a week ago... the news just got here really... but it's legit I hear. Ninya wondered if her sister was in the city that vanished... she hoped or rather... chose to believe she didn't.
"I heard that some big shot monk died in the attack," Imina said putting the fourth mug with the others and ordering another. Ninya perked up at this info.
"Hmm? Do you know his name?" Imina thought for a while...
'Something stupid like Joe Joe or something..." Ninya's heart sank.
"Was his name Ji Joe?" She asked sadly, the elf snapped her fingers in recognition.
"Yeah, that's it Ji Joe... heard he died saving the life of some girl." She said smiling as the drinks she ordered arrived.
"I see..." Ninya looked down... she regretted the last things she yelled at him... but there was nothign she could do about it now.
"Anyway, if you're ready we already have a job lined in the Katze Plain... simple undead hunting... what do you say?" Hekkeran asked. Ninya nodded.
"That's good... I need as much gold as possible to rescue my sister from slavery..." She told them honestly. They all looked at Arche.
"Wow... kinda like..." But Arche cleared her throat to shut them up.
"My situation is NOTHING like hers... anyway I can't see how this helps us kill undead?" The blonde caster said. Ninya bowed to say she was sorry to Arche, and nodded.
"I have all my things with me now... so whenever you wish to leave, I am ready.
"Good good... we will meet our cleric in E-Rantel and already have a carriage rented for the trip... ready whenever you are." Hekkerasn said but the elf next to him growled.
"I'm still drinking here!" She wined. Hekkeran rolled his eyes at her.
"We never agreed to drink in the first place, we were just meeting Ninya here because it's public, and second you're never finished drinking Imina... now let's go!" She made a pouty face but made no more complaints... Ironically Ninya had just left from there but now she had a new group, one that she would not get attached to this time around.
In The Re-Eszite capitals royal castle, Princess Renner stands in her room. She was in her royal dress and behind her Climb was standing faithfully like always... everything was as it should be... but... that means it wasn't right... right? Why was she so confused? Her mind was always sharp and able see moves many moves ahead from where she was on the board... but something just didn't sit right with her. She looked out at the beautiful pink sky... pink?
"Climb... may I ask you a strange question?" He immediately became attentive walking before her with a seriouse look on his adorable little face, like a puppy who'd just had it's name called she thought.
"Yes My princess... what would you like to know?" He was all business as always.
"The sky..." He blinked and looked out the window. He saw nothing amiss, maybe a little cloud cover that could mean rain in the future, but that was it.
"Yes, it is a nice shade of pink today isn't it?" It was all he could think to say as he did not know what his princess wanted of him.
"Is it? The sky is always pink then?" Climb looked puzzled at the odd question... of course, it was pink... it always was!
"As far as I remember it's always been pink My Princess... why?" He asked looking like a confused little puppy that was tricked if you pretended to throw a bone but didn't really... she loved it!
"Oh I don't know... for some reason it seems odd to me." Her remark seemed to cause him trouble. If the sky was the wrong color because she said it was... that was the case! He trusted her words more than his own eyes.
"Should I call in the court wizard? Maybe he..." but she shook her head silently with a becoming smile to still his actions.
"Forget about it Climb my dear... so long as you are the real Climb... you are, aren't you?" She asked, his confused look was a bit more than normal, he seemed genuinely worried now.
"Yes, my Princess, I am the real Climb." The way he answered that with no hesitation or wonder if she was joking let her know this was him... even if this world wasn't... and that was enough for her.
"No matter then... Climb aren't you tired?" She asked and it donned on him that he was... as soon as she asked that. He was exhausted from staying awake all night with some weird dream about Demihumans attacking the city...
"Yes... um, I'm sorry I do not know why... I had a very odd dream that must have kept me from resting completely, I am sorry my princess!" Princess Renner smiled and motioned to a bed that was oddly in this living room, where no bed should be, yet neither thought it odd that it was there.
"Why not take your armor off and rest there for as while? It won't do to have my guard losing sleep after all." She said with a smile that could melt ice. He seemed a bit confused about her offer, but her reasoning made sense. He removed the mythril armor she had made for him and set it on the table respectfully. He walked to the bed and sat on it, she smiled at him again.
"Aren't you very tired Climb?" He blinked and nodded, but sleeping in the presence of the one he had to protect was unforgivable in his eyes... yet he was so very tired...
"Lay down and rest then, I will watch over you for a change."Princess Renner said lightly caressing his face as his eyes became heavy and he fell right to sleep. Princes Renner looked out the window at the strange pink sky... it did look good today she thought.
"Climb... you are asleep... you understand? Nothing can wake you up. I am ordering you to remain asleep!" She said to the boy in the bed that should not really be here.
"A dream then?" She thought it might be a dream but this was the real Climb, she was sure of it... not just how she saw him... this was a real dream?" He gave no response, just a slight snore. A world where she can control climb with her words... to any end? Real or not... this world would do just fine for her. She unlatched the back of her dress and it fell to the ground. She now stood over her knight naked. She slowly aroused her body as she fingered herself lightly to get her wetness ready.
"Remain asleep Climb..."She ordered again as she undid his pants and pulled out his nice member with her free hand, still pushing her own fingers deeper and spreading herself, getting ready for her long-awaited ride of love. She could feel her juices running down her slender legs as she focused on the sleeping boy before her.
"Not bad Climb... not bad... now..." she moaned as she took his soft dick in her mouth, however it did not remain soft for long, it grew hard and in size inside her mouth, she clamped her lips over it and sucked it hard but delicately and slowly still... she was a princess after all. She pulled his erect cock from her mouth and inspected it, running her hand up and down it's shaft. It tasted salty but clean... her boy was a good man. She slid him to the back of her throat til an unwomanly gag made her pull him out with asmll gasp... she'd never done something like this before.
"Nuuuhhh..." Climb moaned in his sleep.
"Do not climax Climb, you cannot orgasm until I say so... alright?" He gave no recognition of her order but she knew he'd never disobey her no matter what as she abandoned ladylike nature shoving Climbs hard member back into her throat. She moaned over and over as she sucked the tip of it as hard as she could, working her dainty lips over the round head before greedily ramming his head to her gag spot again over and over again, she was making the most unprincely sounds when his dick hit the back of her thoat. But as it was caused by the dick she owned, it did not matter.
"BAAH!" She gasped for air and panted in a lewd manner as she jacked her sleeping knight up and down with her hand as hard as she could. The tip of his dick was bright red and his face look pained as he resued to cum until ordered... no matter how he felt.
"That's good Climb... you still may not climax yet..." She said as she gave out a small orgasm as she made her self wet the floor she was squatting over with her climax. It was time to sheath Climbs sword into her... she licked her lips as she stood up and put hier wet fingers in his mouth so he could know how much he aroused his princess.
"Your sword is meant to protect me Climb... but I want to use your sword on me now!" She hummed as Renner moved her hips over his and took him inside of her as she sat onto her love.
Feeling him break her virginity sent waves of pleasure and pain through her hips, back and back of her neck. Getting stabbed with a sword should hurt a little as should bleeding be expected... she ignored her blood on her guards' shaft and pushed her royal hips against his, letting him run her through at last with his weapon.
"Oh Climb... be mine forever in this world that we share?" She moaned softly kissing his unresponsive lips as she let her wetness help with his job of pleasing his Princess. She began to moan lewdly as she felt him reach her womb, where she wanted him to pierce her most of all.
"Now... flow into me Climb!" and on her order he did, even in his sleep he moaned about as his orgasm filled her body. She smiled as she realized she could control everything Climb would do or say here... in this world with a pink sky. Renner purred as she felt him warm her up from the inside.
"Just sleep there Climb... sleep for all eternity... with me..." She whimpered as she reached another climax. After it had finished she lay down on his rising and lowering chest, she could hear his heart beating and it made her happy. She closed her eyes, wondering what price she paid to have this world where only Climb and her mattered... and the beautiful pink sky.
Elsewhere on the streets of the Re-Estize Captial...
Brain stood on the streets of the Re-Estize kingdom. He was standing before the monster he feared more than anything. the true Vampire Shalltear Bloodfallen.
"A human? What can you do with that?" the monster with a mouth like a lamprey cackled. It had burning red eyes and long white hair... it was Shalltear Bloodfallen... the monster that haunted his dreams, but now she stood before him in the real world, this world with it's constant pink sky, never changing. She was but a girl when he first saw her, but something in the back of his mind told him THIS was the true form of the monster that had shattered his resolve before, and she was even more powerful in this form!
"Back monster!" Brain screamed at the beast. He knew her power vastly outranked his... but he had led his whole life by this sword he held in his hands... The monster dashed at him screaming like a banshee.
"[NAIL CUTTER]" Brain cried out using his move that combined every martial art he knew... it was a useless endeavor, but it was the best he could muster.
"REEEEE..." She was screaming but she met his blade just as he'd aimed and her head came flying off! A gout of blood sprayed the city streets as her horrible head bounced to his feet looking up at him in a death scream.
"You over confident monsters... always lose to skill in the end!" Brin laughed as he kicked the vampires head down the street of the Re-Estize capital.
"Nice Form!" A gruff voice came from in front of him. It was a robust man bigger than he with brown hair and beard. it was Brain Unglases rival, Gazef Stronoff! he had his foot on the head of the monster Brain had just kicked, stopping like a football (soccer ball).
"You were watching me?" Brain asked sheathing his sword. Gazef Stronoff walked up to him and put his hand on Brain's shoulder.
"I've always been watching you Brain!" The man said with eyes that pierced through his soul...
"Your stance has gotten better since last I saw it." Brains heart sank as he realized he'd misread Gazef words. Gazef looked up at the pink sky. He had some faint memories of fighting Demihuman recently... but that must have been a dream because the sky was black for some unknown reason in those dream memories.
"Gazef!" Several men from his unit, all of them, in fact, came running to him. He smiled and pushed Brain forward.
"Brain Unglas, meet my men they served with me these past few years" He laughed as they crowded around him greeting him.
"So Brain, now that you've slain your monster... how about working under me?" Gazef said out of the pink.
"As Kings Gaurd? Isn't a sellsword a little below that royal standards?" Gazef laughed.
"What are you talking about? The King has made me his official Royal guard, at last, every last nobel even demanded I be raised to this status, can you believe that?" Brain shook his head, the unhappiness of the opposing noble faction would always harp on haw Gazef of common blood should not serve... but now all of them demanded it? Certainly was strange, Brain looked at the decapitated head of Shalltear.
"Stranger things have happened I suppose..."
"With Climb getting married to Princess Renner soon she will be in need of a new royal guard, and she wishes to keep the tradition of hiring a commoner as a guard seeing as how Climb and myself as widely recognized because of our skills, regardless of our upbringing.
King Ramposa III sat his throne. All the nobles had gathered to wish his daughter a happy marriage. These were the ones that were not able to make it to the announcement ceremony between his lovely daughter and her brave bodyguard Climb. Most of them were of the opposing noble faction but as of late all the nobles came under his banner once more, united the Re-Estize Kingdom like never before! Through sheer luck, he would probably go down as the greatest king of the Re-Estize Kingdom... more importantly he'd be handing this strong nation over to his son.
"Your Majesty... a letter from The Baharuth Empire!" King Ramposa rolled his eyes, it was a little early this year, they would declare E-Rantel and it's surrounding territories theirs and openly wage war... or rather a war of sorts.
"In recognition of Princess Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself's upcoming marriage to Climb. Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix has declared there will be no territorial dispute as Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix had decided to recognize E-Rantel and its surrounding territories as that of the Re-Estize kingdom with the hope of a united and stronger future for mankind? This can't be correct... a joke yes?" the king asked the messenger.
"My Lord it seems not as our scouts have reported all military presence in or even around the Katze Plain are no longer present." King Ramposa shook his head in disbelief. Is this too good to be true? The dream he'd had last night of the capital getting attacked by Demihumans sure was a strange one, but very little about it made any sense... as dreams go.
"Well then issue Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix an official invitation to the wedding, kindness should be shown in kind." The messenger bowed and excused himself. Lakyus was among the people here but nothing made any sense.
Princess Renner openly Marrying Climb? And the noble are okay with this, even happy about it? Something is wrong... and not just with the color of the sky. She knew the "dream" last night was real and this was the "dream" but just one they were trapped in... Lakyus understood she was in a prison of sorts, and all the inmates are as happy as they could be, no need of guards... She excused herself politely and left the room casting [MESSAGE] to Evileye...nothing. She tried again to Garagan...nothing. Tina and Tia as well... it would seem she was the only member of The Blue Roses to get trapped in this weird place. she decided to play it safe and not talk openly about how the sky should not be pink and there used to be a thing called "night time".
"Maybe the border..." She decided to head for the border of the capital city to see how far this prison went.
Back in the real world, at the borders of The Holy Kingdom. Neia and Remedios were reaching their nations wall, just to see another wall, much bigger than their own. The paladin unit and squire looked at the large wooden barrier with Demihumans mockingly laughing at the humans below.
"How... could they have built this thing?" Remedios wondered out loud.
"We watched them erect this thing day by day over these past two weeks... they used techniques unknown to us, their wall is better than ours in every way... and it took them a fraction of the time to build it.
"How, how did they do this?" Remedios asked getting angry, but three men all pointed to two little figures on the enemy wall.
"those two there, a boy and a girl it looks like, but they have weird masks on so we can't tell their species... but their arms and legs look tanned like maybe a Dark Elf?
"Dark Elves? Working with Demihumans? The Slane Theocracy was right after all! the elves did align with the Demihumans like they had feared they would!" The soldiers all exchanged glances, this was never a concern as Demihuman ate elves just as fast as humans...
"Um well, anyway under the guidance of those two small ones, the wall was build in no time at all..." The man finished. the one that looked like a boy wove to them as it probably heard them talking about the,,. or at least saw the humans staring in their direction. The masked girl tried to hide behind her staff, almost liek she was shy.
"Have they attacked at all?" Remedios asked baffled by this event.
"No, not a single attack... the only time they would fight is if we tried to harass their building efforts. However, as soon as we left them alone, they never crossed that grass line," the line he spoke of was a 30-foot long clearing before the wall of man so that the jungle wasn't encroaching and giving cover so close to it.
"With their elevation, they could easily rain down arrows or what have you, but they don't they only mock and taunt us... it's a little frustrating actually." The ranger with a green hood said. The squire neia in the back was trying to stay hidden from her father. Not because she didn't want to see him but because he would stop what he's doing and ignore Remedios just to run over and hug her... in front of everyone.
Neia would talk privately with her father when the time was right, they had just gotten to the wall after all.
"Neia?" A mans voice suddenly called out... crap! he'd seen her! And as predicted her ran past Remedios, almost rudely to greet his daughter. He grabbed her and picked her up.
"My beautiful daughter! how are you! I'm so glad..." he was doting on her in front of everyone, she had to put an end to this.
"Dad... stop!" She said turning red as the paladins, except Remedios, laughed at the cute display of father-daughter affection.
"Pavel Baraja, I appreciate you haven't seen your kin in some time, but could you please finish giving us your report?" Remedios asked annoyed. Pavels face returned to it's usual stoic nature as he turned, regrettably, from his daughter.
"Well, there isn't a whole lot else to report Paladin Custodio," they built a wall... and there it is." he said pointing to the large object that cast a huge shadow in the midday sun.
"I don't want to return with "they have a wall" after a month of travel Ranger... is there anything else you can tell me?" Pavel just shrugged.
"You should talk to one of the small ones... they are children form their voices and also willing to talk to us." Remedios's eyes went wide...
"Willing to talk? About what?"
"They want an all-out war... they said it would be to both our nations benefit if we marched every last soldier we have here for one big battle... wall to wall as it were." Pabel explained, but all this was in the report he sent to the capital, but it was fine as Remedios did not have the reputation for being..."smart."
"Anything else?" Pavel laughed.
"Yeah, said something about surrender... but you can guess what the conditions of that were." Pavel said looking at Neia and smiling, she just looked away.
"what if we try and take the elves hostage under the guise of talking? Could we use them as leverage maybe?" To this question, every posted guard let out a loud laugh. Remedios looked around confused.
"Paladin Custodio... those "children" could probably drop this wall right now if they wanted to... the girl alone has used magic that... quite frankly, should not exist. And the little boy, we've seen him jump from the very top of the wall and land on the ground like it was nothing... no Paladin Custodio... attacking those two would be the worst thing we could do." he explained gravely.
"What are you talking about? Their just children!" She rebuked.
"Yes... children that can do this..." He said as he quickly pulled out an arrow, knocked it in his magical bow and fired a shot at the little bow. the masked boy suddenly pulled out a bow of his own and shot Pavel's arrow out of the air with his, easily.
"it's a game we've been playing these past few weeks." Remedios ignored the incredible display of skill she'd just witnessed.
"Game? You've been playing games here? What..." She was about to go on a tirade but he stopped her.
"May I remind you, Paladin Custodio, that as of right now, the wall is under my supervision! And will contuine to be until my relief arrives, meaning as long as you stand on this wood structure, you would do well to respect me properly" he said scowling at the paladin who technically did outrank him, but here at this moment, as he pointed out. Remedios stormed away taking some stairs to go back to the horses. Neia secretly was jumping into her father's arms, seeing her put in her lace like that made the sore butt from riding all week worth it!
A raven suddenly flew to Pavel, it was a messenger raven... he took the piece of paper from the bird's leg and his eyes went wide as he read it several times. The other guards and paladins waited patiently to see what he would say.
"The entire capital of the Re-Estize capital is... gone... without a trace, some kind of magic was used... and they say the "Demihuman chief" is to blame..." he said out loud, still not believing what he heard.
"What? A demihuman spirited away all the people int he capital?"
"No... the entire city, itself is gone... there's just a giant hole where the capital used to be..." the commotion this caused was understandable.
"So... are we... next?" Neia asked worriedly. Pavel looked at her and frowned, her beautiful face should never frown he thought.
"I don't know... but if this Airxeen is our opponent... the Holy Kingdom is doomed," he said gravely. Neia ran after Remedios to tell her what had happened but did not see her, where did she go? Suddenly they hear her bellow out, from the wrong side of the fence.
"I WISH TO SPEAK WITH THE ONES WHO BUILT THIS WALL!" All the humans were looking at her in disbelief, she even already had her holy sword drawn! What was she thinking! The small worker in mask and white and red suit jumped off the wall with incredible dexterity, landing from the near 30 foot drop effortlessly like it was nothing. She made a weird hand gesture at her before walking up to meet Remedios. He wove kindly at Remedios, who just sneered back.
"You are the ones that built this wall?" She asked. The masked boy nodded.
"Yup! you like it? the demihumans don't make good builders, but they obey orders well enough." He said in a voice that sounded more like a girls voice.
"Are you their leader?' Remedios asked gripping her sword tightly, if this child said "yes" Remedios would attack it with all her might... this clearly was not a child, just a short Demihuman or maybe demon even!
"Naw, our only job is to build this wall and let you guys know we want to have a big fight, not some long drawn out campaign that we would easily win... if you do this we promise not to kill a single child or woman... just the ones who come to fight will be targeted, no innocence!" the boy with a girls voice said laughing. The girl above them called out
"It really is a good deal um, Miss Paladin... and we mean it too!" Remedios wondered what her deal was, maybe the lover of the boy she talked to now? Remedios scoffed openly in the face of the boy she talked to.
"Why would we believe you?" She asked the boy just shrugged.
"Don't care if you do or not, it will just be easier for you all to do this, or else we'll just starve your cities out. So do whatever you want lady!" the boy said turning his back to Remedios. it was an opening... she might never get a shot like this again! The humans watched in terror as Remedios leaped at the back of the child, bringing her sword down at the defenseless head of the walking away boy.
"WHAT?" Suddenly Remedios was holding a normal branch, like attack a child would use to fight with. And boy was holding her holy sword in his hands looking at it through the blue smiling mask.
"Naw... pretty crappy sword if you ask me... why were you trying to show me this? it's not very impressive..." He said. there was a collective sigh of relief when they realize she was choosing to not recognize Remedios's attack as a hostile action.
"Well... thanks for the gift! maybe I'll give it to my dragon!" the boy said walking away with Remedios's sword and laughing, putting in her belt. Remedios stood stunned holding the branch in her hands, it shook as she realized she'd just lost her nations national treasure to a demon!
"Paladin Custodio that was..." Pavel yelled at her as she returned to her wall in shame and defeat, she simply walked past him not recognizing his rebuke. Pavel just sighed in frustration nd sent a messenger raven, informing them of Remedios's actions and what it had cost. He also implored them to send everyman to this wall, as once it fell there would be no stopping the flood of death that would pour through into The Holy Kingdom. He looked at his daughter with a heavy heart thinking of her in battle... it did not sit well with him...
On the other side of the Demihumans wall, a [GATE] portal opened up and Pero and Shalltear walked through into the fort Aura had constructed with help of Demihuman workers. Aura and Mare were waiting for him.
"Welcome to wall you asked me to build for you master Jin!" Aura said smiling. She'd taken to calling him by his human name, she was the only one who did this...
"Nice! i've been wanting to see it... and it's great Aura, oh you too Mare, great work getting the Demihumans to follow you. They both had their masks off so he could see Aura smile and mare blush.
"Master Peroroncino... do you have it?" Mare asked timidly, Jin smiled and showed mare the necklace that danged around Jin's neck, it was a perfect pink stone with a little city inside of it. their eyes lit up when they saw it.
"One of the twenty!" Mare said in awe.
"Yeah, but I'll probably lose it once Momonga "rescues" this city and sets it free... the "use" of the item will be finished once they leave it's, effect" he said clicking his tongue, Momonga must be freaking out at the prospect of losing this World item... oh well... Jin valued innocent life over physical objects, even one of a kind ones... Momonga and Demiurge would just have to deal with that fact, he wasn't going to change on this matter, no matter how many people complain about it.
"What kind of world did you make for them?" Mare asked. Jin swung the necklace back and forth playfully.
"One they won't want to leave... so I hope she enjoys the world I built for her..." Aura tilted her head to the side a bit.
"She?" He laughed at her cute confused expression.
"Don't worry about it, moreover... whats with that sword?" Jin asked noticing the weird blade Aura had in her belt.
"Some weird woman wanted to show me this sword, so i took it and decided to give it to my dragon.
"MY DRAGON!" Jinj exclaimed remembering Kilistran Denshusha who'd just been sitting by herself this whole time.
"Shalltear can you..." He was beginning but she was already casting [GATE].
"Yes Lord Peroroncino, I shall fetch your dragon for you." Shalltear said bowing then coming back with a large Frost Dragon from anther [GATE] cast. Jin cast [POLYMORPH] on her, making her human and much more comfortable in this small room, she gave no mind to the fact that she was naked.
"Hello Lord Jin!" She exclaimed and bowing, she showed no signs of annoyance for being forgotten about.
"Hey Kilstran, long time no see." She blinked.
"Was it? a few weeks to me is not much time at all..." He nodded, it made sense to a (near?) immortal creature, he wasn't sure.
"Okay, so all my forces are gathered here for the big event... we just need to have Momonga resue the capital city from me... a feat that should gain him even more reputation." Jin nodded in satisfaction.
submitted by It was nearly a year ago and nearing the end of spring, June 1st to be exact. There was a big rooftop pool party called Intervention happening in downtown San Diego; I had recently become unemployed and needed to get some of life’s troubles off my mind. I had never been to an event like this before, so really, this was the perfect outlet for me. I had close friends who worked for one of the promotion companies running the event. They had me signed on as an employee so that I could forego admissions and join them at their table with no questions asked. This was no skin off their bones, as an event like this was just an average day if you worked in the industry. But I never worked in the industry before, so from my perspective, this was fucking awesome. We had a room on the top floor of the Hard Rock Hotel, which was overlooking the entire party. The crowd I had accompanied was a reckless bunch; at times, they were as loud as the DJs on stage. And when they weren't giving the party-goers down below champagne showers, they were doing copious amounts of drugs in the room. It was quite the spectacle to behold actually; I honestly did not think anything could divert my attention from these blatant acts of debauchery.
And then she walked in.
I won’t lie. I didn't care to notice her at first. From a glance, she looked just like all the other attractive women that were spread throughout the venue. I swept the thought of a possible conversation out of my mind, and instead decided to add another shot of whiskey to my tally. After pouring more Jameson down my throat, I took a much wanted cigarette break out on the balcony. I was alone for only a few minutes before she came out and asked for one of my patented death sticks.
This is when our eyes met for the first time.
I was blown away. Never before have I been so captivated by another person's gaze; the irises in her eyes were like rare gemstones, as if those tiny orbs of astounding color could only be found at the gateway of Shangri-La. Her line of sight sliced me in half like a diamond cutter as she scanned my body vertically, most likely judging the loud Hawaiian shirt and bright orange chubbies I had worn for the occasion. My eyes, however, were still fixated on hers, totally locked in place; it got to the point where I had to manually sever the connection before it turned into a creepy stare. And just when I thought my interactions with her were at an end, she did something unexpected: she opened up to me.
She introduced herself. Asked me where I was from. Oddly enough, we had found out that she already knew my fraternal twin brother, Drew, as well as a couple of my other friends. I was taken aback by how comfortable we were talking to each other. It was like I was living a scene out of one of those movies where the shy recluse becomes best friends with the social butterfly. I simply could not believe it. I remember thinking to myself, "my dreams usually don't make it this far."
After our small introduction on the balcony, I took her to meet a few of my friends. We exchanged phone numbers and I asked what her plans were for the rest of the event. The group that she came with had a table near the stage, so she was going to make her way towards them. I suggested that I tag along. I not only wanted to meet her friends, but I thought she was cool and I wanted to get to know her more. I still wonder to this very day what caused me to grow a pair and ask her. I tell myself that it was my subconscious signaling to me that this girl was special, but I'm almost certain it was the liquid courage sitting in my gut that pushed me forward.
When we hit ground level, I got to meet her crew. Her friends were, by no surprise, as chill as she was, and I found myself making a few more friends than I expected that day. The event was coming to a close, and she asked if I wanted to meet her at the after party, which was being hosted at a nearby club. I had no cash on me; I was dead broke. But at the same time, I had to go to this after party. Nothing would stop me. So I did what any man would, and asked for a small loan from the friend that I came to the show with. I received his blessings on the mission I was about to embark on, and proceeded to the club.
This, I will admit, is when I began doubting myself for the first time. Was this girl for real? Was I making a good decision? Or was I just digging myself into a hole, in which the only way out was several shots of whiskey and a disappointing ride home?
Those doubts turned to dust the second I got her phone call. She was wondering where I was. I walked in. The door was slow to shut behind me, and the day's light cease to be as it was overtaken by the dark-red interior of the club. Everyone was still in their pool party attire, though it was clear that this was not the type of audience the establishment was used to. They had go-go dancers in cages. The bottle girls were clad in their incredibly revealing uniforms, paying no attention to the howling, drooling hounds while they served bottles and drinks to their assigned tables. The most shocking piece I saw was the large aquarium they had placed in the middle of the club, reserved only for the people dumb enough to want to sit in a culmination of everyone's sweat and filth.
I found her floating around the dance floor like a dandelion caught in a breeze, gliding gently from one table to the next; you never knew where she would land. She had such a unique personality; you didn’t have to know her long to realize that she had the freest of spirits. Deep down, I knew that nothing could tie down that ego of hers; it resembled something wild, a legendary black stallion that countless men have given up trying to break or tame. One would even say it was the only thing capable of eclipsing her unequivocal beauty. We spent the rest of our time at the club drinking and dancing. We continued this for hours and I didn’t want it to end. The absence of light took away my ability to tell the time from my surroundings, and before I could spend another dime, the party was over.
We walked outside to the warm night air and an evening that was by all accounts still young. It appeared as though we had our fair share of fun. Most would have put the epic day to rest. But I had other plans. I suggested that we take a cab back to my place, and she coolly replied that she already had that in mind. You can bet your top dollar I had the door to the cab opened before she could turn around and finish her next thought.
The taxi must have fallen into several portals on the way back, the ride took so long. I saw this as an opportunity. So I swallowed my pride and attempted what took me an entire day to muster up the courage to do. I kissed her. Her lips were soft, softer than any that I ever had kissed before. But best of all, they were accepting. Each one of her exquisite features would glow upon the passing of each street light. If I had been in ancient Greece, I would have thought I was in the presence of the goddess Aphrodite herself.
The ride was over, yet we were still locked in a comforting embrace, one that was neither too passive nor aggressive. We both knew what we wanted out of the night; the understanding was mutual - there was no rush to get to the finish line. I paid the driver his dues and apologized for the romantic movie we had been making in the back seat of his car. We both stumbled into the house, abrupt with laughter and not giving any fucks about the roommates sleeping upstairs. Any other woman in previous situations would have gone straight for the bed, and that would have been that. But no, not her. She plopped herself on the couch as if it were her own and pointed directly at the Xbox 360 I had set up in the living room.
“Do you wanna play FIFA, or Call of Duty?” she asked.
I felt my jaw drop to the floor.
I hesitated to answer her, I was in such shock. I took a good ten seconds to reflect and ask myself: who on Earth was this woman that I brought home? No matter. I tossed the question to the side, lest I lose the opportunity to show her my video game might. We logged into FIFA and started playing together online. I have met plenty of girls that know how to play video games, so I wasn't totally surprised; but the thing that really impressed me was her knowledge of soccer. We won our first and only glorious game before switching over to Call of Duty. She took control of my headset so she could talk trash to everyone I was killing on the battlefield. For the child in me, this was the epitome of happiness: a beautiful woman supporting me while I take on the world from my couch.
But the night was soon coming to an end, so when the games were over, we moved across the living room into my bed. I am not one to kiss and tell, so I won’t. But even if I was, I wouldn’t be able to find the words to describe it.
The next morning was something else. The sun had breached the shades of the sliding glass door, just enough for it to splash my face with its warmth. I remember just lying there, feeling proud, with both hands behind my head. It wasn’t the sex I was feeling so smug about. It was something much more complex than that. I hadn’t know this girl for more than twelve hours, yet I already knew that this wasn’t going to be the last time I saw her.
But I still had my doubts. Amongst my friends, I have been dubbed the king of one-night stands. It's true, I don't have the same experience with relationships as most men and women do by my age. Some people still praise the fact that I have managed to stay single for so long. Does that make me a happy man? Not in the slightest, for I have always been a hopeless romantic. It's not that I kick women out of my life once I sleep with them, that couldn't be further from the truth. They just... fade away. And this is what worried me most: that this fallen angel beside me would just become another notch on a belt that I didn't want to wear.
Alas, she had awoken from her deep slumber, the lines from the pillow creases still present on her face. Hair going in every direction, this way and that. When she was finally able to open her eyes, she smiled at me, and suddenly, all of those worries I had minutes before seemed to just evaporate from my mind. We must have gotten lost in time, because it was already past noon. I didn't want to take her home. I was hungover and already fully committed to an entire day in my bed, so I let another hour pass by. But eventually, the gentleman in me took control, and he decided it was time to take her back. I dropped her off at her house and watched as she made her way into her house, and after I knew the job was done, I drove off. Throughout the entire ride home I hoped, that someday, somehow, we would be reunited again.
A year has yet to pass since that fateful encounter. I would never have guessed that the woman I met that day would mean so much to me. But don't let my emotion of my words deceive you. We are not lovers. We are not in a relationship. We are friends. And that's the way it has been. In all honesty, I think it worked out better that way. She has taught me so much more as my friend: like how to have the emotional fortitude of a mountain, to stay strong and never waver, no matter how much you lose in this world. With each conversation we had came a new piece to the puzzle. We put them together, bit by bit, unveiling who we truly were behind the scenes; constantly learning more about each other as the months went by.
Her understanding of who I am as a person is unlike anything I have encountered before. Over the course of our friendship, I had completely opened myself up to her. She could have taken advantage of it, as so many have in the past. But instead, she took it as an opportunity to console her fellow man. She was the first person who told me how hard it is 'to be a man who wears his heart on his sleeve', and how strong of an individual it must take to accept that about oneself. This wasn't all smoke and mirrors. She genuinely meant what she was saying. I know this, because she too knew what it was like to have a heart so vulnerable.
I will be truthful. There were times when I felt my heart bleed for her; for every king has his moments of weakness, and even he cannot predict when they will arise. I had given her a necklace, bracelets, even one of the shirts off my back, in hopes that maybe they will remind her of the man she met long ago. I had written letters that will never be read, simply because I was too scared to send them. I am terrified at the idea of losing her to my emotions. Hell, I still have trouble keeping the butterflies in my stomach at bay every time I see her. She had warned me before about the dangers of falling for her, and I promised myself I would never be 'one of those guys': the kind of guy that was obsessed with her, or someone who wanted her to settle down. The truth of the matter is, I love my best friend. I really do. Some of my colleagues call me delusional, saying things like “the line between 'best friends' and 'just friends' is two letters thick”. Only a few could ever understand the relationship that I have with her. I didn't want a fuck buddy. I didn't want a girlfriend. I desired a best friend: someone who could talk to me through my darkest days and still have the freedom to be herself. After all, it was her uncontainable soul that I fell for in the first place.
If you asked me where we stand now, I wouldn't know what to tell you. Our lives have been hectic and so full of change, it's hard to imagine whether or not things will ever be how they were in the beginning. I can't change that. We have so much of life left to experience; who knows where we both will be at the end of another year. But, I do have control over something, and that is being the best friend I can for her.
It's such a cliché to say, “well if you really love her, you'll let her go”. But I refuse to let go. And it is not because I hope that someday she'll come around. No. It's simple. It is based in what I believe, and I believe that she came into my life for a reason: to show me the beauty in life and death, to push me toward greater heights, to test my deepest emotions, and to remind me to never stop chasing after my dreams... but most of all, she was there to show me that there is at least one person that can love me as much as I love them.
