Zergel : Chapter 1
requested by: Lexida the Tactician
"I think I'll choose..." I stroked my chin thoughtfully until Zergel struck my mind. He was known for making good weaponry. I suppos that he would make for a good protector or body guard. My hands went out in front of me and you closed your blue eyes and concentrated until a magical circle was visible on the ground. Particles started to form and when they dissipated, it revealed the black-haired warrior. "...Zergel..."
"Alright." Tora nodded in an approving manner. "A good choice, Nemesis." She smiled gently and backed away. She then turned toward Zergel, who had a confused glimmer in his eye, and explained everything that was explained to you a moment ago. "Zergel, the Four Fallen Gods have Nemesis on their extermination list and so as our duties as her Units, we decided she should choose a protector, which is you."
Zergel's eyes slightly widened in surprise as he repeated Tora's words. "'Protector?'" He then nodded. "Alright...I understand. I'm willing to take on this job especially because it'll be eventual that we'll have to face the Four Fallen Gods." His words sent shivers down your spine, but you quickly swept away the feeling and smiled ever so slightly.
Tora nodded as she backed away. Once she was at a safe distance, she disappeared. I looked at Zergel; I remembered first summoning him. He was very into getting stronger and forging stronger and more durable weaponry, and after a while of interacting with him more, I eventually found out that the reason why he craved for strength was because of revenge.
Once I had broken out of your reminisce, I decided to glance over at Zergel and he was looking at me, worry clear in his blue eyes.
(Please select one and read the corresponding part of the choice you chose. Please don't look at the answers, that's just ruining the whole point... ...)
A. Apologize for making him worry
B. "Don't worry, all is good!"
C. Stare back at him
A: Apologize for making him worry
"Um, Zergel...I'm sorry..." I murmured quietly. I sucked in a breath, hoping that he'd accept my apology. He actually wasn't one to worry this much about me, so it sort of surprised me.
Zergel looked surprised that I had apologized. The worry that was glittering in his eyes quickly disappeared, as if they had never appeared from the start. "What're you apologizing for?" He asked in a confused manner.
"F-For worrying you." I forced a smile on my face as an attempt to make him feel better, but I myself felt pressured. Sure, I had a protector, I had Zergel, but even he may not be enough to save himself and me from the Four Fallen Gods. The thought itself was enough to make me tremble on my feet. Before he could say anything, I quickly reassured him:
B: "Don't worry, all is good!"
"Don't worry, all is good!" I enthusiastically replied, however I was unable to conceal the remorseful tone that was tinted in my voice. I looked at Zergel, and he had his eyebrows raised, not believing a word I said. "Believe me, I'm good!"
"You didn't sound very happy, and your eyes didn't look all glittery like they used to when you were actually happy." Zergel pointed out. This guy really is extremely observant when he wants to be...which I guess is always.
I sighed before gently grasping his shoulder as a sign of reassurance. "Don't worry Zergel..."
C. Stare back at him
I decided to stare at him until he noticed and snap him out of his worry-wart state. This worrying was very unlike him and so I wasn't used to seeing a face like that. I also didn't like those type of faces where it's so full of worry, it starts to send a pang mixed with a little bit of guilt to my heart. Zergel noticed me staring at him after a few seconds and his worry in his eyes immediately went away.
I smiled, managing to hide the anxiety deep enough beneath the smile so Zergel couldn't catch it. "You're finally back to your old self, Zergel-san!"
He tilted his head in response. "What do you mean, my 'old self?' I was always the same." He looked at me as if I was just plain insane, which I probably was...but most likely not.
I smiled and dodged his question by saying, "Anyways! Less worrying and more...stuff!"
Zergel looked at me, "You didn't change one bit over the last two years or so I've known you, Nemesis Moonshine."
I nodded, "Zergel. That's exactly why... ..."
"I'm fine." I smiled reassuringly.
Zergel looked at me with an unreadable expression before sighing. "You are one optimistic girl. I guess I can't be taking my eyes off of you for a second, or you'll get yourself hurt, and I'll have to take all the responsiblity...and plus, I don't want you to get hurt." He shrugged. "I'll protect you, even if it costs me this life."
I narrowed my eyes and said, "That's not going to happen. We'll get through this together. If you don't make it...if you get killed, I'll kill myself. Otherwise, we're getting through this calamity alive. You'd better promise me that, Zergel or otherwise a lot of trouble's gonna happen for you." I winked playfully.
He seemed surprised for a moment before scratching the back of his neck. "You don't change at all, Nemesis. Alright, I promise...we'll get through this together."
A.N: This one's a little short. The first character requested was Zergel by Lexida the Tactician. I also have Ardin (TrueDragon117), Kanon (DarkLight777) and Golem (Garth Kaiser). So you might wanna have a paper or use online notes, because the choice you chose will affect which ending you get. So just record what you get. Have like three columns. The column titles being (my friend helped me get the ending names...I thought they were a little cheesy, but whatever just deal with it): Protecter End, Serenity End and Bittersweet End. Put a tally mark on the column that corresponds to the ending the choice leads to.
For example, if you chose choice B, and choice B led to the Serenity End, you'd put a tally mark under Serenity End. So on so forth.
So here are the choices and which ending they lead to:
A: Serenity End
B: Bittersweet End
C: Protector End
