_a recording from the archaic records will now be shown_
-don't ever let the darkness in between to consume you , remember IT is you and you are IT , for no light truly shines without darkness . However i do say this , student, what will consume you is pain and anger which do not come from the stillness of the darkness , but from the fragility of light. In the end no one is at fault , no one is truly evil , instead understand that everything is and happens necessarily
-but doesn't that take away the choice between good and evil ?
-the actual concept of good and evil is based around changing the necessary order of things , which is, and will forever be, possible ,and evil.
-understood , thank you master, i will make treasure of this i do promise
-now
-student
-how EVIL do you want to be?
-the worst
_as the elder man laughs in a loud and vaguely creepy way, the scene between a black haired student and his long bearded master fades away . the archaic records will now close_
-you are WHAT????
-the prince of the metrom empire
-hoooooly cow this boy is something after all
-guild master , composure please (^w^)
-I'm sorry Layla
_ poor Mirio was getting interrogated by Margret , the cowboy guildmaster , which has a name but for censorship issues i will not use , and Layla the receptionist , and from the noises outside it wasn't really fun for the boy _
-is Mirio gonna be ok?
-well it's not like they're going to kill him or kick him just because he's the imperial prince…i hope, it is Margret after all
_they heard a really loud sneeze coming from the interrogation room_
-bruh is that some kind of mechanism? I literally just said her name and that's it , why does she need to know anyway
_and Heishi did go on a little 3 minute rant also because of stuff of this kind that previously already happened_
-I'm going out to hunt for a bit. You coming?
-no i wanna wait out for Mirio
-got it. Later then
-Later Heishi
/*why isn't no one using a darn nickname :/ , i mean i get it , a nickname from "Heishi" is kinda hard but we're friends no?, but i digress. Let's get hunting , this time in the theta wolves territory, because last time they kind of whooped my butt if it wasn't for Mirio and Itaka… well now i'm 3 levels higher so we'll see*/
_the theta wolves's territory was a place called blueoak forest, due to the color of the trees there (blue, in case you asked) . As Heishi ventured deeper and deeper into the woods he started noticing yellow glowing eyes glancing at him from here and there . He smiled. Time to hunt. As the adrenaline started to rush and flow through all his body he jumped head on into the pack of wolves . He kept his shadowalker specialty because he could never know if someone else was watching . And so the hunt begun_
-im level 20 now you doggies , cmon BRING IT ON
-AWOOOOOOO
-SHADOW LOTUS : INPHYSICALITY
_al the other wolves rushing towards him stopped but the one he was charging didn't, for the effect of the skill he used permitted him to be seen only by his target , while extra enhancing his cuts and thrusts by covering his blade with a kind of solid shadow . One came down, then the next , and the next . *fshh* one head gone -*Tzzz* skull pierced . He started dancing , dancing in that beautiful horror of killing and butchering , and for some reason it felt GOOD… and i mean really good…as if he was almost in trance . He snapped out of it when the last wolf came down and he felt his armor already gone all the way down to the knees , now noticing on its chest part a button , which after he pressed retracted all his armor into it , and after pressing again it expanded the armor back over his body_
-convenient i must say-OOK WHAT
_he looked around , left , right , front and back but all he saw were dead wolves ,around 70 . He stared in silence, not knowing if he should actually be happy about this_
-help… please….
-wha-who's there?
-h…here…
_ he turned left and right but couldn't see anyone , so he looked up and on a tree branch saw a little boy wounded on his leg and scratched all over, he was a tanuki-type demi-human (half raccoon) that looked in really bad shape , as if he hadn't eaten for days_
/*is he running from something? , i don't know , should i help him? Is this a trap? But it is just a kid after all… well only one way to find out*/
-virgo's paladin : dispel
_ he used a specialty connected with the goddess virgo , truth , as in truth is her actual name (kinda weird if you ask me but i digress) , to check any illusory spell that a tanuki might've cast , and he was right, as all the wounds disappeared and only the scarny face remained , so yes he still wasn't in the best of shapes _
-help you, mhm (-_-)
-AH, I MEAN ,WAIT THERES AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS
-yea yea explanation please don't kill me yariyariyada . Come down before i come up and tear your head off
-COMING ahahahah (o.o)
_he was a grey furred racoon with aquamarine eyes and tall 3 kepas (1kepa=0,5m this is a measure unit that existed exclusively for height) and was really cute , the "squeeze his cheeks NOW" type of cute . Heishi grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and then picked him up on his shoulder and the little guy started hammer fisting his back telling him to let him off_
-nope
-please sir I promise I'll be good
-i said nope
-ok (TwT)
_they arrived back in town and Heishi brought them to Margarita's. Hieshi retracted his armor and entered the inn_
-oi there laddy… who's the lil' one yer carryin' on ye shoulda'?
-don't know yet, all i know is he tried to eat me
-eh ? No i would never sir i swear!
-hmh (0_0)
-ok maybe
-hmh (-_-)
-yes i would've ok? I haven't eaten in 4 days and i thought you were tired after exterminating all those wolves so i thought: hey finally a hot meal !
_Heishi started laughing really hard and everyone looked at him weirdly _
-granny Rita can you get him some pasta and beef, on my tab of course?
_after a while every resident in that in call mrs. margarita granny Rita, and she loves it , as if she had a whole lot of loving grandsons_
-sure laddy
-wha…? But
-shut up and eat
-good stuff not my bad tasting meat
/*life really is a circle after all*/
_while the kid was eating really vigorously in Heishi's mind flashed the image of a man with spikey blue hair and white sunglasses smiling and laughing while a little Heishi was eating silently that disgusting protein concentrate the man called a nutrient-full feast _
-so what's your name ?
-Marco nice to meesh yu shir
_ Heishi's smile got larger _
-and im Heishi nice to meet you too ahahahah
-oi kiddo what wer' ye doin in blueoak alone
-long story short the mor-something empire destroyed my village and I'm the only survivor
/*Mirio owes some explaining*/
-and why are you so happy anyway
-well my parents live elsewhere and left me in that village for training so i just need ti find them no? I mean the village people were nice so i feel kinda bad for them *nom*
-training for what
-tanuki wizardry , first of the class here hehe
_demi humans are a race born from experiments between magic beasts and humans so apart from their unique specialty they all can use "wizardries" from their original species, in a tanuki's case illusory magic_
-sir
-yes Marco?
-can i go sleep now? Im tired
-sure i have to do stuff use my room , oh and if you try to run away i will now, i put a tracker on you you know?
-eep! Ok i won't i promise, no i pinky promise!
-ahahah ok go sleep now, here the key
-later then sir
-its Heishi
-later Heishi (^~^)
-where ya off to laddy ?
-got to talk with someone
_Heishi headed off to the guild's building and found Itaka outside_
-they done with him already ?
-yup , Mirio and I already talked already , he said he'd be waiting for you at great sakura hill
-does he want to make a marriage proposal? (O-o)
-right? That's what i told him but he said it was important and since he likes sakura flowers in this season
-he wants to talk to me in the most romantic spot in town
-yep
-bruh…
-yep…
_sakura hill was famous as a spot for couples for its romantic scenery. It was a hill which you could see all the city from with a gigantic sakura tree on it , and the roots are so big that they make perfect sitting spots for couples (sakuras here do not produce cherries so they are just called sakuras) . After arriving our tired hero found on a root Mirio , sat down in silence, probably reorganizing thoguhts_
-so , what do you have to say
-let me introduce myself again. I am the prince of the metrom empire, Mirg satani von repaer, the second heir to the demon king of justice's throne , and destined to be the strongest ever arch demon of blood , and i have intention of taking over my brother's right to rule , for the sake of restoring the long lost shine of the empire , now just focussed on trampling the weak that cannot defend themselves . For this Heishi , i need you , and i know its weird since its only 3 months since we know each other but i see in you almost scary potential and i want you on my side at all costs .
_he got closer to Heishi , his pale face almost shining to the dusk light , truly romantic for a request of partnership _
-if you don't get at least 4 feet away from me now i swear to all the gods i know of that i will punch you so hard ill break even your face in the life after this one .
_Mirio stepped back_
-ok, first yes ,yes I am going to join you in this little bit of a mad plan you have and second… WHY DID YOU HAVE TO ASK THIS WITH THIS CORNY OUT-OF-A-YAOI CLICHÉ SCENE
_everyone that was there turned around , Mirio blushed really hard _
-LIKE I GET IT YOU WANT TO BE COOL AND STUFF BUT THIS IS NOT A SITCOM MY MAN
_yes those things exist here aswell , but in the warstripes internet is banned and so is tv for treaty purposes_
-sorry
-kind of too late to be sorry
-still…
-cmon… (U_U)
_they then had to explain to a lot of people that they were not together for a while after that , and every time it happened Itaka laughed so hard that by the time people stopped asking she had tore apart her abs and had to check a doctor to get healed, multiple times_
