Φ While in a headlock, I say to Atalanta, "How the hell are you so fast?""Maybe your just slow.""Shut up, and can you let go of me, I am going to choke.""This is what you deserve."Elbowing her in the stomach I say, "We don't have time to waste, I need to go get the fabrics and then make sure Suzuka and Cyrus are still alive.""What do you mean still alive?""It is just that I don't think leaving those two together could end well.""I don't see the problem, both of them are quite similar.""You would think that at first glance, but I don't think those two are similar at all. It is like a land creature that can swim, and a sea creature that can go on land.""That's a stupid analogy.""Shut up." Hearing something, I say, "Atalanta, Gryphons are approaching this place.""Could it be more of the ones from earlier?""I doubt it, they wouldn't bother to ride through the material-filled airspace of Skydust unless someone was riding them.""Let's go look for Cyrus and Suzuka, if anything h
Holding my wife's hand tighter, I see Maria say, "You guys don't look shaken by this news at all, it is as if you knew what he was doing."Begrudgingly I say, "My boy had some animosity against your ways which he was quite vocal about. So when he disappeared on the day war was officially declared against Varage we had our suspicions."Koa says, "He left with quite a lot of weapons, am I supposed to believe a small city like Skydust didn't find something strange about all those weapons being made and then suddenly disappearing."Kate says, "My son's personal craft was decorative weapons, so it wouldn't have been strange to anyone if he made a large amount of them.""Don't try and dodge my question, you people are smart enough to know what I am getting at. Why didn't you inform Gevurah of this, if you had such suspicions your first action should have been to contact us. The fact that you didn't puts your loyalty in question."Standing up, I see Gardienne ready herself to strike me, but
-Break-Walking past the circular barrier towards Skydust, Atalanta says, "You didn't have to hit me so hard.""And you didn't have to be so annoying. How the hell am I ever going to live this down.""Don't talk as if aren't ecstatic to have those rights now.""That's not the point, wait no, I hate you!!""Orb do you really like those?" Suzuka asks."No Suzuka, it really isn't like that.""There is nothing wrong with you Orb," Cyrus says."Yeah, Orb if you like woman's legwear we won't judge you for it."The innocence of those two is almost blinding. "You're both too precious for this world, I need you guys to be safe today.""Promise we will," Suzuka says."Atalanta go with them to make sure they function.""I refuse.""I thought you said you didn't want to be involved with Dush?""Yesterday she had the upper hand against me, but today I plan to pay that hag back."Letting out a sigh, I mumble, "Grow up."Atalanta swings at me, but I move my body out of the way and run off saying, "H
-Break-Φ It kind of weird to just be sitting here doing work. In less than a week Gevurah might attack and destroy everything on Skydust, I just guess it really hasn't hit me yet.I heard some people have started panicking, while others have started to devote themselves to their craft even more. I guess if our country is going to be destroyed, they at least want to reach the pinnacle of their craft.Pumping myself up I say, "Then I will do the same, I will become the best pawn shop in all of Skydust. But aren't I the only one in Skydust, doesn't that make me the best by default." Realizing my greatness, I let out a laugh of victory.Suddenly I hear a smacking sound, then, "Hello."Looking down, I see a small boy no older than 10 years old dressing in a clown costume with a crescent moon mask. But, behind the little boy is a giant bag of stuff. "Hello dear customer, what can I do for you today."Staring directly into my face the boy says, "Why do you look like that?""Look like what?"
I finally get it, when he throws the dagger, it acts as a midpoint between two targets, he then uses it to invert the positions of two objects in space. How annoying."Hey, Orb.""What do you want?""I was just wondering when are going to get out of that pile of shit?""Oh yeah." Jumping out of the shit, I freeze all of it off my body. Then I start to walk away."Got to figure out a plan to catch those two.""At the rate you're going, it will be weeks before you catch them.""Well if you want to speed this up you could use your bow and support me.""Oh so now you want my bow, don't you remember what you said on the ship!""I have never once brought up your bow in conversation, are you going insane."Grabbing me by the face, she says, "Orb if you try to make me look insane one more time, it will be the last time you draw breath. Am I Clear?""Crystal.""Good, yellow for fear.""All women really are evil, I miss Maple.""Well just give up on this and let's head back, you know what let's
"Wh-h-h-hat is your plan?"Sitting on Cyrus's Shoulders, I say, "I am going to need you to run around, and shout what I tell you all over the city. To make sure this goes well I need no stuttering.""I-I-I-I-I am not s-s-s-sure I ca-a-a-a-a-an do that."Using my tails, I cover Cyrus's face and say, "I know talking to people can be scary, but I can guarantee you that the sensation from touching my tails is stronger, so if you feel worried just focus in on that, and remember I believe in you.""I will try my best.""That's a good dragon, now let's go."Running at full speed Cyrus moves in the direction I point him in. He is so ridiculously fast that I feel like I have just been dropped from a hundred meters in the sky. He really is a physical monster, oh I really wish I could fight him.After reaching a highly populated area I signal Cyrus to stop, and then I whisper in his ears, "Shout this.""EVERYONE PERCY HAS BEEN FOUND, REPORT T-T-TO JETER'S RESIDENCE IMMEDIATELY!!!"Upon hearing C
-Break-Φ "Cyrus stop, he should be around here.""Suzuka, I don't see anyone, in the area.""No, I can tell he is definitely here somewhere. Cyrus let out another scream."Following my instructions, Cyrus lets out another large roar which rips through my eardrums again. I need to focus; his thoughts should also be going wild right now.What the hell is going on up there?Up there? Is he below us? "Cyrus, I need you to dig down to the bottom."Taking out his sword, Cyrus uses his legacy on it then strikes the ground cracking it open, he continues to drive straight through the ground until we completely break through.Falling into an area below I say, "Where the hell are we?"I just here something, has someone found me?Grabbing Cyrus's horns I say, "Over there full speed ahead."Without waste Cyrus goes towards where I point him, using his sword he breaks through wall after wall, taking the shortest possible path towards our target.Eventually, after Cyrus breaks through enough walls
The warmth I felt when we intertwined our bodies reignited my cold heart, I felt passion, strength, and the ability to move forward. I held my husband's hand with love overflowing each day.The sadness I had felt from my parents' death had all but vanished, it was like I was living a dream, but in the end, all dreams are crushed by reality.The more time I spent with Krik the more I realised we shouldn't be together. Krik was a passionate lover, a hard worker, and an incredibly brilliant man. While I was just street trash.Whenever we attend any event as husband and wife, his mere presence made the room spin, every single person always wanted to get close to him, he was always without a doubt the most desired person in the room.Standing next to him made me realise how much I really am worth, next to his overwhelming presence I was just a speck of dust who wasn't worthy to stand beside him. If we never met that day I would have lived my whole life without ever even breathing the same
