Running around I turn and look for a conversation I can insert Suzuka in. No not that one, those guys are way too deep in conversation, what about them? no; they are talking about things I would rather not have Suzuka hear.But soon I see a target and say, "There!"Φ "What is it Buloke?""Jute I just wanted to apologize."Being coy, I say, "Whatever could you mean?""I should have noticed the fact you cut your hair shorter, that's my fault."Behind me Holly, Juniper, and Acadia whisper, "Now they are going to passionately kiss and make up.""Just like always.""It is standard practice at this point."Turning around, I shout, "SHUT UP. Now Buloke, continue.""All in all, Jute, I just wanted to say, I am so sor-." Suddenly Buloke is drop-kicked in the face by Orb, sending him into the ground.Looking directly at me, Orb says, "Hey Jute how are you doing?""Orb, what the hell was that?""I just needed to talk to you as soon as possible, it definitely wasn't revenge for him beating the sh
-Break-Talking in the ambience of everything around me, I say, "How peaceful this is."Suddenly I feel something soft crash into me, then moments later I hear, "You three are cuddling up without me!""There she is to ruin the day!""Sorry Atalanta me and Orb were just taking a moment to rest."Hugging Suzuka, Atalanta says, "I know you wouldn't leave me out due to mal intent, but I am sure Orb would.""Your right, that sounds exactly like something I would do."Draping her body over Cyrus, she says, "See how much of a bully Orb is, save me, Cyrus!"Suzuka says, "And he is a manwhore!"They both start to chant, "Bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore!""Hey, stop slandering my name you two!!"Puffing her cheeks and turning her face away, Atalanta says, "Cyrus tell the doggy I won't be talking to him for the foreseeable future.""That sounds perfectly fine to me."Crying she says, "I hate you!!!!"Staring at her, I say, "You are acting a little looser than u
As she finishes speaking a bad feeling washes over my body. This girl is trouble I can feel it in my bones, but more than that the little girl shaking in arms reminds me of myself when I was with Orb.Should I run? No, I am no longer scared of anyone! My plan will go off perfectly and I will be safe, so I should just continue."The place where I lived was struck by a disease that killed countless people, and to my misfortune, my mother was struck by the same disease.So me and my father worked day after day to afford medicine for her, the work was intense, it took up so much of my time that the only solace I had was entertaining, a boy and a girl.When we came home from work, she would crack the both of us a smile, then we would stay by her side until she fell asleep.Then when she did, I would run into the forest and pick out Kastabag flowers; it was crimson and navy flower that is said to sprout when lighting strikes soil with high amounts of metal in it. My country was known for it
-Break-Φ Hiding in her corner detach from everyone, Suzuka says whilst freaking out, "SPARROW WAS SO HANDSOME! Looking at his rugged face almost made me faint, if he saw me, I would have died from embarrassment."Calming down, I say, "Well, in all honesty, I was embarrassing myself anyways, I have barely been able to talk to any of these people, I mostly have just been following Orb around like a lost puppy."Digging my head into my knees, I say, "I can't do anything right except fight.""You are being too kind to yourself."Turning my head, I say, "Gozy!""The only thing you can do is fight, but when was the last time you fought, You dumb fox!""But I fell unconscious.""That's your own fault, it is because you couldn't deal with the mental strain, and due to that all your friends had to fight alone, and due to that Cyrus's sister died.""But.""Atalanta lost her arm.""I wa-.""And Orb fell unconscious. You weren't even there to help them when they needed you most you idiot, and no
While the crowd disperses, I sit down and say, "Now I need to get into contact with that creepy old grandma Ai."Iancu asks, "Why would you do that?""Sparrow said he has been spreading a bunch of information about the village of Aplos around, and because of all of that now people are going start wandering into and around Fimbulwinter which is an issue for my plans going forward. I am going to use my favour from that old lady to spread a false rumour that there is no one from Fimbulwinter.""But didn't some of your people get sold to Basileia, people would know they exist.""Basileia is in shambles and very few people can confirm that people from Aplos were even there. So the only question now is how to contact her?"Suzuka says, "I know how to contact her."Turning our heads towards, Suzuka we say, "How?"From her clothes, she pulls out a kaidenwa, then says, "I have this here, a special Kaidenwa that only connects to Ai."Confused, I say, "Why do you have that?""Ai gave it to me an
-Break-Φ Staring at the block of ice in front of me, I say, "Orb please come out.""SHUT UP YOU TRAITOR."The twins called Anto says, "Orb this isn't that big a deal, so your best friend got married to your sister. What does that matter.""IT MATTERS A LOT."The strange boy called Iancu says, "If anything Orb, isn't it nice to have your sister move on? Some of us would wish to have our sisters shipped off to marry someone."Grabbing his cheeks, the nice girl Elia says, "Iancu who might you ever be talking about?"Looking at them I freeze for a second; They're siblings!!!Atalanta says, "But we all knew Maple and Willow were already in love with each other so what difference does this make?""IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. I wanted to go to their wedding and have fun talking to everyone, I wanted to plan a whole lot of events to make it fun and memorable and now I will never get to do that!!!!"Atalanta says, "Orb are you crying?"With a shaky voice, Orb says, "No I'm."Walking up to the
-Break-Continent: Northern edge of Terrafide.Location: FimbulwinterΦ Feeling a tap on my head, I hear, "Guāng wake up."Immediately opening my eyes, I see our leader Casandra staring at me with an annoyed expression. Embarrassed, I ask, "Did I fall asleep?""Like a storybook princess."Beside the leader, the large man known as Thorgrim laughs and then says, "I thought one of us would have to kiss you awake."Even more embarrassed, I say, "Sorry!" While bowing.Beside me, the girl, named Anouk says, "In all honesty, you being asleep made all of us have a better ride since your shaking was bothering the hell out of me.""Sorry.""Could you stop fucking apologizing?"Scared, I say, "SORRY!""DIDN'T I SAY STOP."Thorgrim says, "Well who could blame him Anouk, you are much worse than any beast we've fought. Don't worry Guāng you will eventually warm up to her."Under her breath, she mutters, "I swear why do we have to bring this rookie along?"I say, "Being quiet doesn't work if you ar
Staring at Christopher, I shout, "MOVE."Christoper says, "These guys are just waptors, I don't need to worry about this, especially since."Casandra dashes past him and cuts down the wonderbeast, "The leader here is a pro at cutting down wonderbeasts."As the leader moves towards two more of the wonderbeasts, Christopher says, "A fighting style specialized around hunting wonderbeasts, it is said that the users develop instincts sharper than any animal; and the name of this fighting style is."Φ "Four beasts battle arts; Predatory fang," I say as I perform 2 downward slashes that shatter both of their spines.There are 7 Waptors surrounding us, each of them with razor-sharp blades on their wings, 3 behind us and 2 on each of our flanks. They are all moving headfirst without any coordination, no wait, it looks like they are competing to see who gets the first kill, they should be easy to take down then.No, I was off; there are at least 20 more hiding in the forest lying in wait to see
