Grimnoir of Zero: The Curious Alchemist
Prologue: The Encounter.
A story featuring my newest OC, A human teenager welding the power of Alchemy. He encounters Zero and her Mercenary and decides to travel with them... But what is his true motive?
"Get back here, Witch!" I heard the soldiers from behind me shout, how many times do I have to tell them I'm not a witch!? I ready my spellshot, aiming the makeshift gun and loading a round. I was running down a very crowded alleyway, approaching the wall of a building.
"Gelatteo!" I called out before firing the round. The shell struck the wall and a green jelly-like blob burst from it. Using the blob like a springboard. The force of it shot me up onto the roof where I ran across rooftop after rooftop until I jumped into the street. Landing on a hay cart. I climbed out and continued running. As the straw fell off of me, you could see I was a seventeen year old wearing a blue pullover and baggy pants with boots. I also had a satchel and a belt with a few pouches hooked onto it, My brown hair was covered by a pair of blown-leather goggles.
Looking back, I saw the guards weren't following me. I eventually made it into a crowd. Checking over my shoulder to see if any guards were following me...Only to run into someone and reeling back onto the floor.
"Ouch! Hey! watch where your..." I slowly stopped when I notice the two. "Going..."
The first person, the one I ran into was a young girl with silver hair and black clothes. With a stern look on her face that made her look more like an adult then child.
...But I was more concern about her companion. Beside her was a giant, white tiger, beastfallen, wearing a black shroud. In case you didn't know, Beastfallen were these half-man half-beast creatures, ferocious (But yet still good looking) Creatures created from witch magic...Was this her bodyguard?
...Actually, I wonder if she'll let me study him.
"Hey!" The girl said suddenly before pointing at me. "You made me dropped my stuffed bread! Get me a new one!"
Okay...I wasn't expecting that. I looked to her feet, seeing the dropped food, thanks to me.
"He went this way!"
I froze and looked behind me and saw the guards from before looking for me. Damn they're persistent. I then remember a tavern I was recently at that served those same stuff breads. They also let Beastfallen stay as well.
"Uh, Hey! I know a tarven that makes the best breads, and opened to all! We can chat there." I said quickly before the tiger crooked his face.
"Why the sudden invitation?" He then looked over my shoulder. "Are those guards looking for you?"
"Who's cares about the guards, I want my bread!" The girl said impatiently to her bodyguard. She then turned to me. "Lead the way."
"Thank you." I said before leading the two away from my pursuers. Well, Kaiden, looks like you made some new friends.
...I pray they're as open minded as I am.
To be continued.
