Arc 11 Side Story 1.9: Captivant's Bildungsroman part 1
Staring at me, she says, "I had no intentions of caring for you in the start, just using whatever connection you could bring me to survive and thrive in this new land. You were prey, and I was the hunter. But your words captured me; the ideas you spoke made my heart shake; they made my life stutter as it tried to reject the fact that the dream you released was what it truly desired. So I had some faith in you, I became a fan of the person you said you'd one day become, I wished to see if you could truly make the world bow to you. But that was all a mirage of the mind. Adrian, you are selfish, you are lazy, you are prideful, you are rude, you are arrogant, you are bitter, you are manipulative, you are dishonest, you are a procrastinator, you are impulsive, and worst of all, you can never see anything as your fault. You're not someone who can make the world kneel around you. You're very much human, just like everyone else here, nothing worse, nothing better. And if you're like everyone

-2 days later-Location: Zaad Ziener; Captivant's houseΦ Standing in front of a mirror in his room, Captivant turns all around, and then says, "It's time, it's finally time. I'm wondering if my clothes from abroad are good enough. But I doubt someone like her has ever seen fashion this good anyway, so it should all be fine, right?"Slapping both of his hands against his face cheeks, Captivant says, "It will be more than fine, it will all be perfect. You saw her love, you know what to do."From downstairs, a series of words screech into his ears, causing him to say, "Argh, she can't even stop belching on this wondrous day of mine. I can't believe her. Silent most of the time, then releases bursts of sound at random intervals."Turning to his window, Captivant says, "But she can't stop my joy now."Rushing towards it, he jumps outside and starts running as he says, "It's time to get married."-Break-Location: Zaad Ziener; Northern ForestΦ Moving my hand through the mounds of grass sc

Jumping up, Captivant says, "What does that even mean!""Maybe you should think about it a bit. If you can't overcome this challenge, I doubt you could overcome the chaos of the battlefield. You already have all the answers; I am just telling you to find them.""I am going to make sure you don't get to eat another meal as long as you're here!"Captivant starts to run away, as Siegrund's stomach starts to rumble, causing the young boy to say, "No, don't allow the temptations of the flesh to stray you from the correct path, the moral path, no matter how much it hurts."Looking at the boy from a distance, who falls to the ground in pain, Captivant smiles, though it quickly turns into a scowl, as he thinks over the words said to him. Yet in that moment, he comes to a realisation, and says, "Has that really been weighing on my heart so much? I guess I have to do it then. I have to realise that path."Location: Village of Zaad ZeinerThroughout most of the land of Zaad Zeiner is a large amo

-Break-Location: Zaad Ziener; Captivant's House, KitchenΦ With his body laid out on a chair, with his forehead held against the table, the young boy groans and turns as he sleeps, unable to gather up the strength to do anything but keep his mouth breathing.Suddenly, from above his head, a bowl crashes down, and with a happy expression across her face, Captivant's mother lays out a steaming bowl of stew. As the smell crawls up the boy's nose, his head immediately raises, and his eyes fall on the delicious treat in front of him.With tears raging down from his eyelids, he stares into the bowl with wonder, hunger, and happiness all trying to grab a portion of his mind. Turning his head to her with saliva pouring out of his mouth, he says, "Is this for me?"She nods her head, and then the boy puts his head together for prayer before slamming it directly into the bowl in front of himself, and quickly takes a large gulp, sucking in all of the nutrients into his body, bringing life into h

Φ Looking at the joy pasted across Valda's face, Captivant lowers his head and starts fidgeting with his fingers and feet, only taking small glances upwards to look at her face.A sick feeling rushes from the core of his heart, sending it throughout his entire body in a way that makes him feel like his very blood is full of nothing but sadness.It disgusts him, it angers him, but more than anything, it embarrasses him as he knows he could walk forward, yet refuses to do so.So he just keeps glancing upwards hoping for a miracle, and to his joy one does happen as Valda turns around and grabs him by his hands before pulling him forward and says, "This is Adrian, he is a very nice boy who has helped me keep my mind together over these last few months while you guys were gone, if it wasn't for him I don't know if I could be looking at you all right now."Raising his head in an instant with a powerful swing, he says, "Hello, I am Captivant Nightfall, the son of the man who rescued you, and

-Break-Φ Thinking back, I was a rather strange boy back then. Someone I doubt I could've been proud of being, yet it is a undoubtly someone who I was, and I can never forget that.The emotions I felt every day were hectic and chaotic, unable to truly produce anything of worth. Just ramblings that couldn't condense themselves into anything of substance except arrogance.But that all changed when I met her, when she became my friend. Each day Valda stayed at my house waiting for our fathers to return with news, we chatted, played, and even worked together.And during that time, I told her things. Things that excited me.Location: Zaad Ziener; Captivant's RoomHolding a book in front of her, I say, "In Enotita, the country of Satripa, they have a giant compass built into the land that they can use to feel the flow of spirit energy through their country, and even predict future events. The compass combines multiple man-made structures, wonderbeasts, and even the natural environment, alon
