The Dragon Slayer, part 4
Kay eyed the dragon, the despair slowly taking over him. There, in the sea that was created, he felt like he was face to face with a god.Long slowly begun to descend until his feet touched the water surface. Then, Kay noticed the ice that was slowly expanding from there, taking over the surface."Fuck." He begun to swim away, desperately holding into any hope to still survive. He forced more strength into his legs and arms as the cold slowly approached.In his mind, a million images begun to play. Images of his childhood, and the scarring pain that came with them."No… Mother, no!" He cried out, the cold completely encapsulated him, only letting his head out. "Please… I'll be a good boy… don't… punish… me…"He fainted as the cold crept in his bones…Only to feel something warm enveloping him.---The dragon eyed his foe with interest, the question that begun to plague his mind was: what was he talking about?In his mind, all mothers were lovely and saint-like beings. He just didn't u

The Dragon Slayer, part 5
Both swords clashed, seeking dominance for they're leaders. The giant tooth against the swift Ashwinder, a battle that both needed to fight in they're own battles.Both fought against each other, and both fought a losing battle.Kay flickered out of the range as the tooth ignited with pure yellow radiance, and then tried to behead his opponent, who used his arms to block the cutlass, feeling the shock of lightning.He was then kicked hard, a gouge of blood escaping his shoulders. Kay then drew two runes, using the firestorm combo.He used this again and again, his opponent made a triple cast that created a Flood, that made the flames die out.Both swords clashed once more. Kay's Ashwinder was slowly losing it's strength, and as he felt his power slowly decay, he tapped more and more into it, trying to make the most of it.He was kicked out, the dragon appeared in front of him and tried to cut him in half, but the black-haired youth flickered once again.A pillar of water erupted from

A fight's conclusion
When he could open his eyes again, the dragon noticed that he couldn’t see nor feel anything. It took a few seconds for him to regain his mind, and when he did, he remembered what happened.‘I lost?’ He realized, disbelief clear in his dim eyes.“Finally woke up, huh?” He heard the voice of that human, laced with sadness and… a hint of frustration. “Damn… you sure is amazing, you know?”“What does that mean?” He wondered, feeling annoyed at the mirth chuckle he received as answer. “I still lost… in the end, all my efforts were meaningless.”“Meaningless… you could say that…” He heard the sound of the human sitting down across from him. “Or you could believe that I cheated my way out of a loss… I mean, at the end of it… I don’t remember much, except for a burning sensation on my reserves, then a huge explosion, and finally, waking up yet again.”“…”“Cat got your tongue?”“Shut up…”“Heh, whatever… either way, I won and you lost… but that doesn’t invalidate your efforts.” He whispered

A mother's memories, part 1
When he set foot on Long’s floor, his nose was attacked by the gagging scent of rotten flesh, consumed until the bones. Sighting, he advanced towards the dirty road.His eyes roamed towards the corpses of various monsters, the decay on them only showed for how much Long was imprisoned.Kay paused in front of a giant door that was completely blown out of it’s hinges.‘Guess I found out the boss room.’ Without preamble, he delved deeper as something inside his blood begun to stir. His heart rate skyrocketed when he felt her presence.“Mother?” He whispered, holding his distraught face while not believing his ears. ‘No… that can’t be… mother isn’t here… this isn’t her presence… this is warm and lovely…’“Long… is that you?” He heard the voice across the room, his eyes scanned the place and then noted how that presence seemed to permeate the very room. “No… Long’s soul has departed from this world… which means… you are the kid he gave his heart to.”Kay gulped down his nervousness, trembl

A mother's memories, part 2
The swamp looked oddly familiar to the third floor, the only difference was the silence.No sound was made, no life was there to be seen.Kay eyes drifted towards the rotten corpse, her flesh cut to the bone. He also noticed the man, crying over that body, holding her with tender and grief.Kay understood what he was seeing.“Everything about him and me… you could say it started on our childhood, but… the turning point was here.”“What happened?”He felt a wave of anger, foreign to him, taking control of his mind, until it washed away, a deep numbness corroded himself.“A envious wife.” Was all she said, before returning to the history lesson. Ley was about to be taken away from her by his friends when a mysterious person appeared before them.It looked like an ordinary old man, but Kay knew better.He had the same feeling that Long had, mixed with that of the two-headed blacksmith.“That’s the man who started everything.” Kay saw the strange touching Ley’s shoulder.“Would you like t

A mother's memories, part 3
“Where’s this place?” He asked aloud, his gaze wandered on the big room. He noticed a banner behind a throne, one that showed the mighty phoenix.Sitting there was someone that Kay recognized on the spot. How could he not, since he was looking at the split image of himself, with only more regal clothing.Together with that one person was another one that Kay couldn’t take off his eyes.Liria was sitting on his lookalike lap, both sharing an deep, erotic kiss.“What… what?” He asked, dumbstruck. This was, probably, the first time someone ever had envied themselves.“This, as I’m sure you know, is Enkai… the one you inherit the Phoenix power from.” She giggle, and then the scene kept playing out. “Look closely at what happen next.”Enkai begun to kiss Liria’s neck, they both were almost doing it right there, when the doors opened with a loud bang. “Sir it’s terrible… oh… am I interrupting something?” Another member of the Phoenix clan entered, eyeing both lovers with an arched brow.“No

Returning to the surface
“Y’er looking a bit pale.”“Ssshould ressst for a bit.”“When will we arrive there?”Kay filtered the questions of the three, a bit of indignation on his face. “Why are you guys following me?”“Want to see my weapons in action.”“I’m curiouss on how long you’ll lassst.”“I’m hungry.”He eyed the two and a half creatures there with an incredulous look. Sighting a bit, he eyed the circle where he first arrived with annoyance.“None of your reasons are good!” He pointed, angry at the group, but soon relented. “Sorry… I’m still a bit… overwhelm at the recent events.”The blacksmith released a breath, reminding himself about what exactly the boy discovered, as well as who he had fought to achieve that knowledge.He wondered why Jago choose him for that job. He was really bad when it came to children. Stealing a glance from the youth, the blacksmith sighted. He looked taller… and stronger as well.‘Welp, I was wrong about y’er… Kay Rosebury’s already a fine man.’ Chuckling to himself, he ey

Flames of Madness
After taking the bath, he excused himself from Zera’s flat and went to the streets, to see how much the city changed after two months.For his disappointment, nothing changed much. There’s still the same streets, the same people…He didn’t knew what to expect, but he supposed, wanted, to at least see some difference. To, at least, see that he mattered in someway…He eyed the castle above the mountain top, the same one where the Magic King inhabited, a small smile playing in his lips.‘I may not be important now, but… soon.’Then, he smelled something good from some stands away. Walking towards it slowly, he eyed the door and smiled at seeing the restaurant food. He was about to enter, but stopped himself.Touching his pocket, he sighted as he felt no bulge in them.“I’m hungry…” He sighted, only then noticing that he was surviving out of holy water for a month. ‘When did things get so problematic.’He was about to turn back and go towards his home, where his belonging should be, when

Flowing with the fire
“He sure is working hard, eh?” The blacksmith sighted, looking at Kay’s back. The boy was trying to efficiently connect his Qi to his runecraft, but was finding no success, besides what he usually had.They watched him training like this since yesterday. Exhausting himself more and more, to the point that Zera had to drag him out of the forest, just so he could eat something.“While father would be proud… he would also worry about him.” The plant child chided, sitting in Zera’s lap. “He should rest, but it’s not on my place to stop him.”The Arcana kept quiet. She was thinking about what happened when Kay’s returned from the commercial district and frowned.He was pissed.Later that night, she was contacting Seth, along with other contacts, which led her to found out about Kay and Leon little meeting.She mostly let him train after that, since she knew he would have to get it out of his system, one way or the other. Her thoughts were unfocused but they would usually drift to Rosebury

The moving shadow's
In the middle of the night, in a run down church in the outskirts of the town, two high devotees were kneeling down towards a scholar, someone one rank higher.“What is the bidding of Janus?” One of them asked the high scholar, who had a grandfatherly smile, that didn’t fully reached his ears, on his round face.Taking out a stack of papers, he placed the list of the 21 candidates for the throne in the altar. Then, he proceeded to take four files, each marked with a blue stamp.“These are the ones lord Janus wants us to guide.” Both eyed the files that contained the Magician, Hierophant, Temperance and Star. “As you can see, this time, we have a very hopeful candidates…”“Sir… I was wondering… each of those have alliances to nobility.” He squirmed, feeling nervous at the spotlight. “The people of Amynistrad already hate the nobility… so, why would Janus choose these people… if they’ll most likely will be dictators?”The old man considered the question, his spectacles shining under the
