"What are you doing here?" I felt as if my body was being crushed, I could hardly breathe from the immense pressure emanating from Fourier. I had never met him until now. Wait. Have I met him before? Why does something seem so familiar? "Answer my question." "U-um... I have some business with Princess Lucia." "What type of business exactly." He slowly began pulling his sword out from its sheath. Crap, what was I meant to say? I guess I'll just tell him the truth. "U-um, it's a long story, but I have to protect Princess Lucia for various reasons." "If you want to become a Royal Guard, sneaking into the castle is not the way to do it." "Well, it's not exactly that..." "Please leave, before I make you." Find the princess. Ah, my relentless headache just won't end. Find the princess. I've gone this far, screw it. I drew my sword. Suddenly, Fourier's facial expression completely changed. He seemed shocked for some reason. "Rin?" He muttered. "Huh? Who's Rin?" He just l

It was almost dusk. Everyone was still happily playing around on the field. It wasn't long after before a caretaker called everyone in for dinner. Everyone made there way inside, following each other. "Aren't you coming in too?" The female caretaker asked me. "Um..." "Don't worry, we have enough for everyone." "I guess I'll come in then." I was sure that Lucia wasn't going to be too happy about me hanging around her. But I just couldn't leave her alone, especially with no one else to watch over her. I walked over to the entrance of the farmhouse. It was uncomfortable small, for the amount of people, but it was obvious that it had gone through several renovations. All the children were sat down around several large dinner tables. The caretaker laid out many plates of food, on a connection point between the kitchen and the dining area. All the children lined up and waited for their turn to get their meal. I stood at the back of the line, letting all the children in front of me,

After walking around the city a little bit, I made my way to the adventurers guild. No one batted an eye as I entered. Oh well. I made my way straight to the quest board. It was a bit more populated than it was last time. I scanned the board, looking at the ranks of each quest. I noticed that the 'Kill Cahrles Agassi" quest from last time was not there anymore. Like last time, almost all of the quests were A or S rank. I assumed that the lower ranked quests were probably instantly taken by many of the lower ranked adventurers. [Quest - Obtain the horn of a Qlipha Dragon Reward - 35 gold coins Rank - A] It looked like an interesting quest, though I was pretty sure my rank wasn't high enough to take it. I continued scouring the board. [Quest - Kidnap Christa Pelerine Reward - 45 gold coins Rank - A] I guess nothing was off the table when it came to quests... Hopefully I can find a less risky one. [Quest - Collect 60kg of green slime Reward - 1 gold coin Rank - C] Hold o

Hey "Go for it, forget anything else, I'll clean up the mess you'll make, so go at it with everything you've got" These are the words you said to me, Rin. So now it's my turn to help you, go for it, fight with everything you've got. ** "Chloe, hand me my sword.""Ok.""Universal Sword, First Form, Unstable Current." In one swift current, the enemy was split into two.It wasn't long before I was attacked again, however. "Royal Arts, Explode." A huge explosion cleared the farmhouse, blowing it to smithereens. The Royal Guard was struggling to keep up and was being pursued by three very powerful attackers. I could see an immense aura protruding out of their bodies. "Watch out, these are Satellites! They're kill you in seconds if you're not careful." Suddenly I noticed one of them transmuting a clump of aura into something that looked like a portal. Almost in unison, I felt a sharp stinging pain on my side. I looked to see that my shirt had a splatter of blood on it, my own blood

It was the first and only time I would ever take a bus. It was a warm summer day, near early January. I took my seat on the public bus which I had never once experienced before. The seats seemed oddly placed, with some facing each other, whilst some faced the front. They were all a bright orange-y colour with various playful patterns. It had a welcoming feel, unlike the transport I was used to. There were sections marked out for those with disabilities and those who are physically disadvantaged. As I took my seat near the back, I noticed there were a few other students, all attending the same school I was. They were scrolling through their phones, something I took no interest in. I leaned my head against the window and looked out to see the blur of buildings and cars which moved past in my line of sight. The bright summer sun shined brightly against the road, causing a little refraction which obstructed the view of distances far away. The vivid green trees and lush greenery would si
