Nex peered over the gilded gates widely open as they could be. She scratched her chin as she looked around only to see gigantic shelves that towered over her containing various amounts of books. Rows of them that seemingly span towards infinity warding of any sane person who would wander the halls of vast knowledge.Ranging from dusty tomes to the more wierd and eccentric stuff like a crystal ball that could help them see the original owners memory. All of it were guarded by armed guards patrolling and keeping an ever watchul eye filled with vigilance.She turned around and saw various items incased in glass, while also engraved in glowing red magic circles. Setsuna stared at Nick once more and tilted her head as she eyed all the thing all around them. "This place is a library right?"Nex on the other hand approached the desk as her eyes darted all over the place seemingly impatient to just out right steal the things that caught her eye. Nick sensed this as the facepalmed and stared a
Celeste carefully trotted along as she approached both Nex and Setsuna. The slowly hid behind the bookshelves as she peeked through the books.While doing so she listened in their conversation. Nex picked up books on whatever the hell caught her interest. However her eyes never stayed on one book for too long. She sighed as she closed another dusty tome. "If Nova was here I'd already fed him everything in this library." She said shocking Setsuna. "Feed him? Feed him how? like a fish?"Nex scratched her cheeks but before she could answer she spotted a fresh pair of eyes staring straight at them with unconcealed interest. Her eyes gleaming in curiousity as she leaned in the shelves much closer forgetting that she was concealing herself."Well... for starters nova eats for some reason like the rest of us who needs energy to survive. I remember him telling me he's converting the innate mana residing on things to fuel his energy reserves or something. I don't know. I'm not too sure on how
The trio circled back towards the entrance while celeste blabbered on about the buildings architecture and defenses. "Since you are guests of Sir Nicholas, I bet you already know that msot of the artifacts here are the real deal relics from the age of gods, the age of magic and so on and so forth."She said not notocing the glint on Nex's eyes. "Most of these artifacts are have actually been used to fend off the invaders during the war. Some were even personally used by the twelve." She said as she pointed towards a large golden shield and a golden spear with its tip burning with blue flames.
'Ah...''I wonder when it was my fate was sealed.'Heh... Never thought that my death would be this miserable.'Can't complain I guess...'She thought as she lay on the cold desert sands at night. She watched herself bleed out, smirking towards the enemies that surround her.Away from any help, no rescue in sight. A lone shadow standing tall against the barrels with a metallic gleam of death. Her wounds that make death's grip even tighter. Her bloodied clothes and shivering body lay on the cold sands.Although they have her at their mercy, they still didn't deal the finishing blow. They stood still as if waiting for something.The Desert sands were slowly being dyed red, from the blood that flowed from the corpses that surrounded them, and her own blood of course.The entire area was silent, her enemies stood still, observing her every movement, every muscle that twitched even for a fraction of a second, they would fire at a moment's notice.Not because of the weapon she wields, but b
The Morning sun was peeking towards the window. It's bright rays illuminated her sleeping face. As if telling her to wake up and get to work.She tried covering the sun rays with her palms, to no avail. She tossed and turned to avoid the glaring sunlight, still to no avail. Suddenly a constant knocking sound entered her ears.*Knock knock!*She frowned, She thought to herself, 'Who the fuck is it? Who has the guts to bang at my door on this ungodly hour...'She pulled her blanket up and covered her ears with her pillows, to drown out the voice calling for her beyond the door.Then after a few seconds of knocking and screaming, Nex couldn't take it anymore she sat up and glared at the door and stood up. She clicked her tongue and made her way towards the door, carefully to avoid the clutter in her room.She opened the door grumpily, but before she could scream towards the early morning disturbance a paper was thrusted towards her face.She clicked her tongue softly, but it was soon rep
After Discussing with Alessandra, Nex went back inside the pub to scan the details with Jack. She was grinning from ear to ear when the opened the door.When she went inside she saw Nadja and Mad Jack conversing. Nex raised her eyebrows and went near her two accomplices."Hey! Whatcha doing here Nadja? " She asked her weapons specialist as she stared at the two of them. She shrugged her shoulders, "I want in, I heard from Jack that this one's a big score."Jack chuckled, "I told her, judging form your expression earlier, this is very big. So I figured that you'd need all the help you can get."Nex grinned, "That's right it's a different system kind of big." Jack opened his eyes wide and whistled, "Now, let's go in the back, and give us the details."Jack looked around, and locked the doors. Nadja on the other hand, put a circular metal plate in the table where they sat.Nex stared at the machine Nadja deployed, "What's this?" She said as she poked about the thing. Nadja smiled proudly
When Nex entered the warehouse however, what greeted her was a thick smell of iron that wafted through the air. A familiar scent, the scent of Blood.Not a soul in sight, the warehouse felt empty. She looked above and saw an office. She thought to herself, "Perhaps that's where the party is." She raised her vigilance to the max and slowly made her way towards the stairs. Slowly treading it, not making any sound.She pressed her ear on the wall, but she couldn't hear anything. As if there wasn't anyone there. If so, then why were there guards in front? She immediately assumed that this might be a trap from Alessandra. She primed her two hand cannons as she rested her back on the wall. She was readying herself to kick open the door and just shoot whomever.Her trigger finger restless, she heaved a deep breath and kicked open the door. But what greeted her wasn't a trap or anything, but the most maddening sight anyone could ever see in their lifetime. In a Dark room, A tall Man in a blac
When Nex Went out the Warehouse the two corpses she left there were already gone. The place was cleaner than when she arrived. She put her hand on her chin as she pondered."Huh, How convenient, He should seriously consider a sanitary job or something, after we're done with this shady deal." She mumbled to herself as she went inside the car.She turned on the autopilot and sat back, examining the box in a daze. A few seconds turned to minutes. She sighed and silently moved away her gaze and stared at the High rise buildings in front of her. Flashing with Neon signs filled with invasive ads targeting everyone. As if it was tracking their every move. It was bright and flashy giving life to the drab grey skies that occasionally has sunlight peeking through the pollution.Staring at the air traffic of the Hover Cars that line up seemingly endlessly. She put her palm on her cheek as she leaned in. Immersed in watching the inhabitants of Paradise City.Staring at them walking lifelessly tow
