'A graveyard?, no definitely not, a battlefield perhaps?', the red sky, the smell of blood, disembodied body parts, half rotting corpses, and a distant shadow, the sight of the bodies instilled fear in Earl, and his stomach was just about pouring out its contents, he hyperventilated as he looked around surrounded by nothing but death. 'what is this place?, where am I?', Earl thought to himself as he stood in front of a field of bodies, "spare me!" said a crawling man, covered in blood and filth. Earl looked backwards looking for the source of the plead, and in front of him sat a man on top a pile of bodies. He had black hair that seemed wet with blood, so it laid straight down his face covering most of his facial features,but just slightly, his cold blue eyes were visible through the massive strands of blood soaked hair, a scar ran down his face, from the top left of his forehead, through his eyes, over his nose, and stopped at the bottom right of his Jaw. h
(note: this chapter will be told in both first and third person perspective, the first part will be told in Ruby's POV, and then the second will be in third person, any who enjoy) Earl looked at me with conviction in his eyes, what he had said was true, I did avoid eye contact subconsciously whenever I lied to someone, I don't really get how he knew this, or how he knew any of the other things about our other friends, but I guess my behaviour was too obvious for anyone not to notice, and it seemed like all my teammates were worried, I mean it was to be expected… I am their leader after all. but since I was more or less cornered in this room, there was no longer a reason for me to keep quiet, after all I hear talking about it with someone really lifts the heart. I mean there was nothing stopping me from just flat out ignoring him and going to bed, but he was my friend, at least it felt like that, they were all my friends. every single last one of them, and they
Ruby was sat on her bed, still reminiscent of her conversation with Earl, an hour ago, his words still rung in her head, and she was still contemplating on what to do next when Henry walked into the room,"Hey Ruby" Henry said with a cheery smile, "h-hey…" Ruby said as she hung her head low and locked her fingers together. "l-listen-", "You know I lost my next match" Henry said quickly interrupting her, Ruby was caught by suprise by his comment, "h-huh?" she said with a confused look on her face. "Yeah, it was against Jake, and that guys really something else" Henry said as took a seat next to Ruby, "compared to Crystal, I'd still say she's stronger, but losing twice in a row really sucks you know" he said as he hung his own head down. Ruby, on hearing this, raised her head and looked at him, "um… I-", "sorry Ruby" Henry said interrupting her once more, "h-huh?, for what?" she asked, "I over heard your conversation with Earl" he said as he looked up at her, "wha-, w
"Soki has made a full recovery" those 6 words resonated in Earl's mind rent free, he wasn't exactly panicked, just more or less distracted, he couldn't sleep well that night. and it wasn't due to some feeling of anxiety or anything, he just didn't know how everyone would feel, considering what had happened, he kept pondering on the idea, while getting little of amounts of sleep in-between, until it was finally morning, and every other person got up to prepare for club activities. "Earl?..." Annie asked as she rubbed her eyes, before letting out a yawn, "how long have you been up?" she asked as she crawled down her bed sluggishly. "A while…" Earl said while getting off his own bed, "you okay there buddy?" Henry asked with a merry smile while heading down his bed, "quit being so loud Henry… don't even know how your a morning person despite being a perv" Ruby said as she buried her tired face into her pillow. "And what's the correlation there?" Henry asked as he head
Earl and the others had all headed out of the Crystal cave, about an hour ago, and we're all now in class awaiting Mr Stevens. "Well the first meeting went well, but I wonder…" Earl muttered to himself as he laid his head down on his desk, "quit sulking Earl, we met Soki, and things went well, I think teachers in this school are really professional, so what are you worrying about?" asked Annie as she used her pencil to poke his cheek. "I don't know, I still feel real bad" Earl said as he kept sulking on his desk, "just apologize when he comes then" said the person sitting in front of Earl. Annie, Earl and Sidney were all confused and surprised as they heard what Austin had said, considering the bad blood between Earl and him, they had expected him to have hated Earl, but he spoke to them out of the blue, and his tone didn't seem like a hostile one. "What did you just say?" Earl asked as he sat up and looked at Austin, Austin then turned around looking at Earl with a
"what am I?" Earl asked confused as he looked at the serious faced Soki, "I'm Earl White, I'm fifteen years old, I live with my grandpa in Gillhill, and I am a first year student of Wallace's academy" said Earl in an innocent manner. "it seems you misunderstood me, I know you're identity, but I wish to know what exactly you are, because you don't seem… normal" said Soki. Earl was visibly confused, and he didn't even know what to say, "w-what do you…" Earl said before being interrupted by Soki, "when my hand was cut off back at the rainbow forest, I picked up my dismembered hand off the floor and attempted to reattach it using Ki. however I had somehow lost the ability to utilise ki, and had to rely on my deity spirit arts to reattach it. now I'll have you know, that the ability to utilise ki isn't something that could be stolen, it could only be sealed or forgotten, yet somehow after getting attacked by you, I had lost that ability completely, not being able to even
"okay, attention everyone" said Mr Stevens as he adjusted his glasses, the rowdy crowd of students then settled down to listen to their teacher, "tomorrow you first years will be going on a hunting trip, to the snowy taiga in the capital of Helbrand, Pike village, so pack your bags and-", "hol'up sir, did you just say we're going to the capital of Helbrand?!!!" asked an excited Austin. "like the Pike village?" asked another student who was equally beaming with enthusiasm, "and we leave tomorrow?!!!!" another sprung up with genuine enthusiasm. "never thought I'd see it before I'd die" said another, and soon the students Enthusiasm and Loudness grew as they began going on and on about the scheduled trip. "hey Earl, do you think?-", "yeah, I'm worried about it too" said Earl interrupting Annie, Annie then looked down at her desk sadly, "it must be hard" she said, "I know right?, scheduling a trip outta the blue?, plus it's to the snowy parts of Pike village, which real
The entire year one class of students stood in an open area, they could see machinery in the distance, and beyond that were thick trees, the place they stood in was enormous, and upon arriving in this strange place, their curiosity was semi answered by what their teachers had just said. "Wait, what do you mean to evaluate our ranks?" asked a confused bunch of students, "well remember when we said you'll move in groups of seven?Well we wouldn't want to get an unbalanced group now would we? so instead, were gonna evaluate your ranks, and ask you guys to form teams, based on your rank evaluation, we'll decide if your team is balanced, and necessary changes will be made" said Miss Kayla. "So hurry and form groups of seven," said Mr Stevens. the crowd of students were still a bit confused, but most had intended to travel in groups with friends and had already decided on their groups, suddenly changing things up might not sit well with everyone, but regardless they obeyed t
