A alarm clock goes off at 9:00 am and Sapphire grumbles underneath his bed sheets as he tries to ignore the annoying ear screeching sound of his alarm! He tries cover his ear with his pillow to try and tune it out but it doesn't help one bit. His room is a bit of a mess with tons of comic books laying around just about everywhere on the floor! There's a calendar pinned to a wall that's next to a flat screen and sticked to each day of the calendar are a bunch of sticky notes.
Next underneath the flat screen is a desk that has a video game system on it. Theres a few posters on his wall mostly about music bands and artist, Video games and some colorful and expressive drawings that he made him self. He twists and turns in his bed and then reluctantly puts his hand out and slams the alarm several times before finally shutting the damn thing off!
He sighs with relief and then rolls over and tries to go back to sleep... But then the female Wakevoice that comes after the alarm ruins it...
GoodMorning, Dawn! Today is Vikeday and for today's weather forecast the weather well be clear all day long with 10 percent chance of rain at night! Have a lovely-! Before the WakeVoice could finish Sapphire Yelled Out "off" with a annoyed tone in his voice and the Alarm turned off at his command he then tries to go back to sleep again. Two More hours... Pretty please...
But then his shield magically materialized itself right besides Sapphires bed and it hovers down towards him. Sapphire called it Avalon when he forged it and Like his GunSword, Caliburn it can materialize it self at will if he's in danger but Avalon quite literally has a mind of its own. Or soul to be more precise. Kiddo~. Time to get up~! Merlin said with a teasing and friendly tone and Sapphire Groans out of annoyance
Not you to, Merlin... Just two more hours please. Sapphire begged Not a chance pal! Its a school day remember!? Now get your GlyphBook out and sign in to your 1st period class! But Sapphire doesn't budge
You don't want me to do the "Unsnoozer" on you, do you? Merlin said with a taunting tone of voice. The boy peeks his glowing red eye out to Merlin. Your Bluffing. The magical shield then laughed hysterically at Sapphire for a full minute and Then tones down to a Chuckle and then sighs deeply. Seriously kid I beaten your Older Brother 6 times in a row on poker so don't test your luck with me. Merlin said in a light hearted and casual tone but he was clearly proud of his winning streak
Ah, come On! That 6th win was a fluke! You cheated and we both kno-! Suddenly Merlin starts to emit a loud screech worse then a Firetruck's siren! This is the "Unsnoozer" that Merlin warmed him about and gods is it awful! Sapphire covered his ears and then finally got out of his bed! Ok! Ok! Ok! I'm up! Have mercy on my poor ears, please!
Sapphire is wearing nothing but his gray and black shorts that he usually wears to sleep with. With no shirt or sock's on all his blue marks on his body are revealed. They almost look like highly detailed Tattoos but they're not. Both him and his older brother were born with these marks on there bodies just like his older brother's mom and Sapphire's dad
The two of them are covered head to toe with these marks and they seem to pulse with energy. Sapphire yawns and he stretches his arms up together. Smart move buddy! Actually before you log in to your classes you should fix yourself up first. Start by putting on a shirt.
Yeah. Yeah. Nobody wants to see my 6 pack, I know. Sapphire then scratches his stomach and then notices that he has loss a bit of muscle mass over the month. Uh, make that 4 pack. Sapphire sighs and then pulls out a blue T shirt with a White "The Only One" Logo on the chest of it out of the drawer we're he keeps his shirts. But he doesn't slip it on right away instead he walks out of his room while his shirt is in his right hand.
He looks around the wooden hall way that lead outside his room and starts to walk through it, then he slips on his shirt. As he's walking he comes across a dozen photo frames and half of them don't have pictures in them. There's a wooden label above the Frames that says "Family Photo's". Half of the photo's are of him and his older brother, Yin.
He's a 6 ft 5, 17 year old guy with a strong chin, broad shoulders and a physique that's a absolutely perfect blend of Athleticism and muscularity. But his most defining characteristic is his short and slick Bright White Silver Platinum hair that's combed back and spiked from the sides and the back of his head. His looks are Movie Star level like! He's got the type of face that makes girls want to look at him not just ounce, not just twice but 4 times!
But At the same time he's got the bone structure that looks like he can take a bloody Beating and then some and boy can he! In fact he actually LOVES to fight or anything that's fun and life threateningly dangerous! To give an example of how nuts Yin is 3 years ago the two of them were out camping. They we're sitting side by next by a blue flamed camp Fire that Sapphire obviously light up with a snap of his finger.
Suddenly Yin gets up and looks up at one of the 5 moons that were up in the night sky. See that moon up there, Little Brother? The one that's 10 times bigger then the other 4 put together? I'm gonna kick it. Yin smirks and before Sapphire could say anything Yin jumps up to the night sky! He leaves behind a streak of platinum light so bright that he looks like a shooting star! Suddenly in a instant the massive shining moon shatters to tiny Pieces because of the force of Yin's kick! Sapphire gasps and then starts to laugh hysterically at what Yin has just done! Yin didn't even use his Fable! It was Just pure strength, skill and speed!
Then Yin appeared beside him in a flash of light and judging by the look on his face he did not meant to absolutely ANNIHILATE a moon that so big that it's almost the size of a normal sized planet! Gah, CRAP! I just meant to punch a hole in it not-! Yin then sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose out of embarrassment My mom is gonna KILL me... Yin says and there was a short pause of silence that last for 10 seconds. Then Sapphire's mouth burst out with laughter!
Yin then laughed with him for a half minute! They they both start to settle down and he sits besides Sapphire. I did that for you know? You were looking down today and I'm glad that I cheered you up. Yin said with a smile on his face as he nudge his smiling little brothers shoulder playfully with his fist. Now if you excuse me I'll be taking a nap now! Punching one of the biggest moons orbiting around our planet tuckered me the HELL out! Yin slept for 5 whole days straight. Yeah... He's a bit of sociopath. Meh, it pretty much runs in the family! We're a pair of brotherly sociopaths!
In mostly all of the photos that Yin is in he is seen wearing his signature outfit. A black leather jacket with with platinum colored lines on the side of both of the arms of the jacket which also reach up to the neck. He usually wears it unzipped and his sleeves rolled to his elbows. Underneath his jacket he's wearing a stylish black, Platinum and Gray T shirt. The design and the logo of the shirt is unique as well.
But to simplify its like a single black lighting bolt with a platinum glow pointed downwards to his waist. He wears black jeans with several small white colored torn holes. On his feet he wears stylish but durable shoes with bright white soles. Wrapped around his waist is a bright orange furred waist coat that hangs from the left side of his waist. And he wears a pair of black fingerless gloves on his hands. For the sake of making things easier in the future let's call this specific set of clothing the "Stryker" outfit.
Finally The piece of Resistance is his precious platinum framed sunglasses that he wears at all times. He even sleeps with them on believe it or not! No it's not because of the platinum frames, his sunglasses have deep sentimental value to him ... Very deep... They belong to Yin's Dad... No that's a sad story for another time.
Sapphire grabs on to a picture frame and holds it in his hands. Yins carrying Sapphire on his shoulders while Sapphire raises up a big ornate platinum trophy in his arms. Dozens of spotlights and camera's flashing in the background behind them. They have wide smiles on both of there faces with Sapphire missing a couple of teeth in his mouth. The actual Sapphire smiles a little and sighs nostalgically.
I faced over 150 warriors and the 2 world world champions and I still came up on top. No one thought it was possible especially For a 12 year old Kid, But I did it. On my own. It was a close call though. He then stretches open his mouth a bit with one finger to show that the teeth that he was missing in the photo the have now grown back. He also reveals his 4 razor sharp canines that are colored and glow light blue.
Sapphire chuckles a bit at himself as he let's go of his mouth and then hangs the photo back on the wall. He looks at the rest of the photo's of him and Yin. There's one that they took together while they were in the middle of helping a charity organization a couple years back. Sapphire made Yin Volunteer with him and they both helped a lot of good people that lost there jobs, homes and family's. They lost a lot and everything but they still had HOPE and WILL in there eyes. The two of them just helped light the FIRE that was already in those people, little by little and day by day.
I... I didn't get a chance to find out how they're doing before I left. Gods I cant believe I forgot about them... Sapphire says with the look of guilt written all over his face. He'd forgotten all about the wonderful people that he helped in Charity Organization. He almost forgot about all his friends that he made back on the other side of the main Source wall to... Fafnir, Amethyst, Zack... "Her"... I miss you all so much... "You" especially...
He moved here... And he might not ever see them again... He can't call them with his Glyph cause it obviously can't make calls on the other side of the Barrier. He raises his hand up and then magical shards manifest on it and take a shape of a hand sized screen. He taps the screen with his thumb unlocking his Glyph and making it turn on. These are the phones and handheld devices that everyone uses in the world of Colored Mythos. Sapphire stares at his faces reflection on his Glyph's screen.
Man... Merlin's right I do look horrible. He then presses his contacts app on the bottom left of his screen. He scrolls through all his contacts. Yin was first and Fafnir contacts tab was second cause he hadn't sent him a text or called him in forever. The two of them were in good terms the last time they texted each other. It's same with the rest of his friends... All Except for "her" though... Sapphire sighs with sadness and guilt... He barely manage to shake off ALL the depression that he felt and he heads into the living room of the house. I miss you all.
Theres futuristic boxes all over the place that contains his father's things. They aren't moving again his Dad's just always away from Work. He's so busy that he never really comes home to be honest... But there were rare times when his Dad does come home. But to Sapphire even though his Dad was actually there it always felt like he was still at work... He felt like he was still a dozen miles away from him even though he would stand right in front of his dad... Even though Sapphire was staring right in his father's face... He was still. "Just." "Not". "There"...
They're relationship has been like this ever since Sapphire was born. What of his mother? He... He doesn't know what happened to his mom or where is she. But he will find out what became of her. It's why he came back home, to find out the truth. It's what his Dad promised to him. Yeah his Dad has been neglectful towards Sapphire but he is a man of his word. After Sapphire figures out what to do with himself..."
He walks to the kitchen and then rest his hand on the kitchen counter. The counter then light up gently like a screen. Honey Crack Cereal bowl filled with cold milk. Medium size bowl please. Then counter emits a small light and it then dissipates revealing medium size bowl filed Honey flavored Cereal and cold milk. It came with a iron spoon that lays besides the bowl. He scopes the bowl up in his hands and ate a spoon full of cereal. He smiles to himself form the sweet taste of it. Mmm, just what the doctor ordered.
He then walks back in his room and sits on his bed with his legs crossed together. He takes his Glyph back out and presses a app that looks like a laptop. His Glyph then took that shape and hovers down and rest on top of the folded table that's right in front of Sapphire's bed. But then Merlin hovers towards him. Forgetting about something, Kiddo? Merlin asks him and Sapphire eats up another spoon fill of cereal. He chews loudly as he glares at Merlin and even though the shield doesn't have eyes or a face he can feel Merlin glaring right back at him.
Sapphire just kept on chewing and chewing for a full minute while glaring at Merlin at the same time. Afterwards he finally swallowed And then groans in defeat. I'll do my hair... Sapphire Said reluctantly as he puts his cereal and his spoon on the folded table Hey at least I'm not your Aunt. That woman had no patience with your antics. Sapphire then sighs Out sadly Auntie... He thinks about his strict but dotting and caring, Aunt. No not Yin's mom, Scahatch. The Aunt that he's thinking about is on the other Side of the Main Source Barrier like his friends. He was his Tutor on the other side but the two of them were like family.
Ah, Man right... I'm sorry-. Merlin tried to apologize but Sapphire interrupted him before he could finish the sentence. I-It's fine, Merlin. I'm fine. I-I'll go fix up my hair. Sapphire reassured him but Merlin knows him better. He misses his, Aunt hard but he lets the subject go for Sapphire's sake and he watches the kid walk off. Way to go you ancient bastard. Way. To. Go. Merlin scolds himself in silence. Meanwhile Sapphire hands rest on the sink.
I... I hope Dad told Auntie that I was moving back home. She'll turn every stone on that side of the Source Barrier to try and find me. Even if it would take 20 years or more she will never stop looking for me. She just cares about me that much and I would absolutely do same for her... For the rest of my friends... But... He can't look for "Her" though... For his best friend... He failed her after all so he has no right to see her EVER again... He then looks up to the mirror and sees his reflection.
He Groans Out self pity and he pulls himself back together and starts doing his hair. A couple minutes past and he walks back in his room with his light blue hair is combed in a medium side part hairstyle that's neatly combed to the right. And with his hair combed like this his glowing amber colored left eye is revealed. So what do you think, Merlin? Is this better? Sapphire asked Merlin with his hands resting on his waist. I think that you'll give all your classmates a heart attack looking THAT good! Especially the girls!
Ah, huh, Right. Sapphire said with both his eyes narrowed and a unamused frown on his face. He then sits back on his and types away at his Glyph's keyboard as he logs in to his school website and then into his online class. W-Wait a second here. Sapphire narrowed his eyes again as he just noticed something. He then smiles. Well watta you know! Classes are tomorrow! TODAY'S A BREAK! Haha! Sapphire's face lights up with joy and he pumps both his fist up as fanfare played in his head! But it was all a ruse that blow up in his face when Merlin leaned in next to his shoulder
It's a school day but it was a good shot nonetheless. Merlin Said with a smug tone in his voice. Sapphire then sigh's in defeat and for the rest of the morning he spent his time reluctantly attending his classes. It was a normal BORING school unlike the ones he use to go too back on the other side. Half way through his 5th period he felt asleep out of boredom but Merlin waked him right up using the "UnSnoozer". The shield laughed it up and a second later he was seen being thrown out the window by Sapphire. A hour later Sapphire finally finished attending his classes. He made his Glyph return to its normal handheld shape and it flings back into his hand.
Sapphire sighs with relief. Merlin is hovering right beside him. Right after Sapphire threw him out he teleported back in with his connection with Sapphire. Still waiting for an apology, Kiddo. Then Sapphires thoughts immediately go to his Older Brother. He just can't stand being in this anymore house. It's lonely... Sad and reminds him just how empty his life is now. He then goes to his contacts list and text Yin. "I'm done with school. Can we go out today? Please?" Said Sapphires text and Yin quickly responds. "Of course! Let's meet up In Time Circle! See yeah there Epsilon!" Said Yins text and Sapphire smiles. Epsilon is Sapphire's second first name and from what his Aunt told him his mother was the one that gave it to him.
So in way when Yin calls him Epsilon he's honoring his mothers memory. No... Not Just her memory. Her existence. Sapphire finds and puts on his blue jeans, his leather white and light blue jacket hoody, with amber swirl patterns on the arms of the jacket. He then puts on his blue sneakers. Finally he makes his cape manifest on his back. He was about to jump out of the window until Merlin stopped him.
AHEM~! Sapphire then sighs and scratches his Light Blue hair. His back is facing Merlin and then he turns his head toward him. Im sorry for throwing you out, Merlin. Happy? Merlin then laughs heartedly and hovers to Sapphires side on the window. Very! Let's go see your brother! Merlin says happily and he dematerialized. For a minute Sapphire Gazes At the landscape outside his home.
Looks like he lives on the edge of a steep mountain and off in the distance is a futuristic and magical Utopian City, Towering bright skyscrapers and dozens of magical symbols and circles Floating in the skies as far as the eye can see! Sapphire smiles a little at the sight of it. He then breathed in and out... And then leaps off the edge of the window! The howling winds fly past him as dives down to the ravine that's still dozen miles below him!
Then his cape spreads out and pulses with violets petals and blue flames! He suddenly makes a sharp turn to the right and darts back to the skies! In a second he gets back to the same height as his house! He smiles as he looks back at his house and turns his attention back to the city and takes off at Mach4 with his destination clear! But little did he know that a 15 year old girl with beautiful silky golden hair with pink highlights watched him take off. She was hovering in the air above him and she smiles with curiosity In her eyes as she flys after him to the city. Leaving behind a streak of golden light behind as she goes. The aura radiating around her body glows with... Divine energy, Like Sapphire...
