'It was just like a fleeting dream...'
It all started as a simple joke.
Two comrades were hanging out at a nearby river after being terminated/or for the others case quitting a certain guild. The place that they were currently in was an intervention of time and worlds. Here was where people from different dimensions and time meet.
This is where they met.
"Hey!" The boy who appears to be around the age of ten perked up as if realizing something. "We should create our own kingdom instead!"
The girl looked up from her position and watch the floating boy with curious eyes. He had tendencies to suggest weird ideas at times when he could take boredom no more.
"A kingdom?" She raised an eyebrow as she put her pen and paper down. "I am already a reigning King, and the kingdom that I rule over is nothing to be looked down upon. Although a new territory do sounds terrific." She added proceeding on putting a finger over her chin.
The boy giggled and tompled upside down in the mid air. His hand was on his berret as he prevent it from falling on the ground. "And I am a God!" He grinned widely pointing at himself. "But what I'm implementing is that we should create a guild but as the same time a kingdom!"
"Oh?" Confused yet she choose to listen to her eccentric companion's ideas. "Go on." She ushered while crossing her legs and arms.
He nodded. "We were saying earlier that those guilds that we joined out of sheer boredom and lack of entertainment just couldn't satisfy us." He straightened himself on the air. His eyes was on the horizon, the soft glow of crystalized leaves and trees reflected onto his hetero chromatic eyes and so as the magenta sky above them. "They either lacked something or are straying from what they were supposed to be."
"We kept on joining and leaving. An endless tale of boredom that just kept on repeating. Every time... Every time." The young boy proceed on facing her this time, "So I thought.. 'Instead of looking, why don't we create it ourselves?'." A huge grin was on his face as he suggested those.
'He isn't that serious' That's what she thought. But nonetheless the idea wasn't that bad, in fact it might work.
"Eight kingdoms... Eight kings, but one guild. I'll rule over the Archers and You'll rule over the Sabers." The boy looked up before proceeding with flying higher. He stopped and faced an abandoned castle not far from where they was. "So what do you think?" He shouted, albeit eyes still on the forgotten architecture.
"How about creating a kingdom with me." The boy looked behind his shoulder and grinned widely. "Nero?"
But he pushed the idea anyway.
'And yet... Not all things goes the way you wanted them to be.'
Eight Kings.
Eight Kingdoms.
One Guild.
It was simple. Create and implement rules. And just enjoy the fun! But they knew they couldn't start it with just the two of them so they asked help from a friend. A death god with an endless ability.
The numbers started raising from three to four with the joining of a certain Ghoul. Until they finally reached the number of Kings they had wanted. It was the start.
A Kingdom was born. A guild was born.
A family was born out of sheer joke.
Everyone was happy. Or so they thought.
The boy noticed it. Things weren't going as how they wanted it to be. Their subjects was not doing their ordeals or so following the rules that they vowed to follow with all their soul. Some of the Kings were rarely there to do their job. And aside from that ever so hard working Ghoul and some other loyal subject, nobody else was keeping it alive.
The guild was straying from what they were supposed to be.
... It was no different from the others.
The boy realized that as he sat on top of the tallest tower's roof as he gazed at his so called kingdom.
Everyone just seemed to do what they pleases...
He rested his cheek on his palm.
There was no point of continuing it. That's what he thought. There was no point on joining and continuing to indulge himself with these. Those years were more than enough for him.
There was only one guild that had satisfied him and even that had disappeared.
It was about time he moved on and never look back.
'And so he left...'
"I'm sorry..."
Those words left him yet he didn't failed to say his apologies with a smile. He hovered over the floor of the Saber's castle. All other remaining Kings were there, looking equally shocked at his statement. The Saber's king on the other hand did not look shock unlike them.
She had been expecting it.
"Very well..." She sighed albeit smiling. It was unlikely of her to stand and bow as a sign of wishing ones comrade a good luck upon departing and so, she just sat there on her throne and nodded.
"Thank you." The boy grinned before turning around and finally leaving. However some will not just accept it.
"Wait a second, Tet!" The shinigami ran and blocked his exist. There was a frown meaning his future and he looked at the boy like he had just grown a second head. "You can't just leave! We need you here! What will happen now if you jus-"
"Ichigo." The Saber's stern voice stopped him midway. She finally stood up, her red dress fluttering with her movement. "Enough."
"But-" His eyes shifted from the boy to her. He couldn't understand why she was letting him go so easily, they both created this! How come it was so easy for them to just say sorry and leave!
A loud laughter broke him from his thoughts and saw the boy floating in the mid air while clutching his stomach. Tears were sprouting from his eyes and that made the shinigami stop.
"... You're silly..." He smiled after finally calming down. He straighten out and gave him a genuine smile before adding. "... You don't need me anymore. I'm sorry for letting go so easily."
He went pass him, not daring on looking back. The boy heard the shinigami call him again but he continued float away. But as he neared the dimensional gate to his world he couldn't help but to turn around and gaze at the 'Kingdom' they created. Everyone was by the huge wooden doors of the castle. There eyes says it all, still... He don't want to do it anymore.
He gave them a smile.
And then... He was gone.
'He realized that he was the worst type of a person...'
That world was astonishing, beautiful, breath taking. It lived up to its name as huge pieces of chess scattered all over its land and couldn't even take her eyes of the scenery that lays before her.
The disconnected board.
Commonly known as Disboard.
"Eh ~ so it got disbanded huh." A nonchalant voice woke her up from her slight daze state and she diverted her eyes back to the sole reason for coming to this dimension.
"Yes." The Ghoul said.
True enough, their so called Kingdom fell years after he left. It was all due to the lack of cooperation and blatant disrespect for the rules.
There was just so much the leaders could take and so, finally deciding that everything was going nowhere, they had ended it. The once reigning kingdom that is full of life and power fell.
But of course.
Some hold the memory that they had created along their stay and so wanted to bring it back. They had asked the Ghoul to rebuild the Kingdom and she agreed feeling the same way as them.
She went to see the theatrical King, and had gotten her permission. She then followed looking for the Shinigami which was not so hard considering that he pretty much, was easy to find with him not losing contact with the others.
What was hard was finding the boy who had suggested it all.
The dimension that he lived was hard to break into. You couldn't enter unless invited by the One True God himself and it took her quite sometime to be able to.
The moment that she fell from the sky she was greeted by his so ever energetic demeanor. He had greeted her casually and couldn't help but to cringe at how normal it is for him to do so as they fell rapidly onto the ground.
She didn't died. A Ghoul of her caliber is hard to kill in the first place, but she was relieved nonetheless upon feeling the earth beneath her only to be jerked away again onto a tall tower in a form of the King piece.
And that was how she found herself in the current position.
"And you're telling me this because?" The boy dipped his head backwards looking at her with his usual smile. He sat on the corner of the tower with his feet dangling, uncaring of what might happen if he fell. Above him, the ghoul noted, were chess pieces that were made from the clearest crystal that she had ever seen.
"We want you to be part of our Kingdom again." She said straight forwardly. It was to be expected, she was not the type to dily daly.
On the other hand, the boy just looked at her with his usual expression. It was almost as if he was already expecting it. He hummed under his throat before sitting up properly. The boy's hand shot up in the air and took one of the piece, he held it between his thumb and index finger.
The knight piece.
The usual smile was on his lips but its yet to reach his eyes. The Ghoul could not see this as his back was still facing her.
He thought about it.
Ever since he had summoned the two siblings in his world, the series of events that had took place since their arrivals were quite interesting and amusing. He also had created quite a friendship with the werebeast (or Goddess as he would like to call her) that is always seen tagging with them, Izuna.
The amusement that Blank were giving him were almost endless and never a day pass without witnessing something that tingle his playful side.
"Tet?" The Ghoul finally spoke upon not receiving any response from the boy.
He didn't budge and resumed twirling the piece around before plucking it towards the other. A clank was heard upon it came contact with another crystal, he smirked at the piece it bumped into.
The King piece.
"... Okay. I'm in."
'But he couldn't care less as long as he get to have fun.'
I love you Teeeeto. *3* )
Y'guys are probably asking where on bloody earth did I got this idea from. LOL. The whole guild thing is actually a trend in my country and the whole disbanding thing really did happened haha. But of course I added a little glitter to it to make it more interesting and shish so- never mind.
I was bored and felt like I had to do it. So, k bye.
