Wassup mah people! Sorry I couldn't update sooner, I have a life and such. And due to using my phone while riding a motorcycle, I was banned from any electrical gadgets for a week, which is weird because of something that would be said in the end Author's Note. Anyway, onwards with the story!
Since I didn't want to accidentally mess anything up due to the buzzing and slight throb of my head, I decided to take a walk straight to the Forge.
The Forge is something that can't just be explained. For one, it's size is HUGE! Like seriously, HUGE! Even I'm still trying to find it's exact length. But it just stretches on and on and on. I asked Sapphie once and she said that it's the leftover magic from the Mountain and that it accumulated at some points of our HQ and blah blah blah. I zoned out a bit when I looked into her sapphire blue eyes that sparkle and shine and- Agh! I'm getting carried away.
Anyway, it's usually here where I do my most crazy experiments with either my powers or a small fragment of the crazy objects the team finds. So far, I got the legendary Archimedes sphere, a fragment of a moonstone, a drop of Sunshine and some weird teleportation stone. Except it doesn't teleport you to different places. It teleports you to different universes.
Yeah, universes. Even I was skeptical at first. But after a few incantations, it worked. But of course, it worked for only a few hours. After that, it's completely dormant. I've been trying to reactivate it since it went dormant. So far, nothing. Not even a flicker.
Anyway, when I reached the forge, I instantly ran to my newest creation. It was the fragment of the moonstone that was supposed to be a kind of conduit for the moonbeams to change into a more efficient light source than anything that uses energy. But for now, it only flickers.
After a few tries, I decided to use a bit of magic to try and make it work.
"Alright, lets do this! Sit utendum moonbeams miseritus sum generis humani et amoveamus lapidem de aquaeductem!" I said while extending my hand towards the fragment. After a few moments, I lowered my arm. I tilted my head in confusion. It was supposed to work. It started lighting up.
Before I could jump for joy, the light started getting really intense before exploding outwards, sending me hurtling towards the North Wall and landing with an audible THUD.
"Oh my gods, that hurt. I'm definitely going to feel that in a few moments," I said while getting up. I shook my head before walking towards the stone. Suddenly I could feel my energy returning back to me from the stone. I understood why it exploded. With one thought in mind, I instantly ran to find Sapphie.
After a few turns, one or two dead-ends, and almost falling off a cliff, I thought, 'Why don't I just use Soul Sonar?'.
And I'm pretty sure you're thinking ' What the hell is Soul Sonar?' or maybe 'What fanfic am I gonna read after this?' Either one.
Well, for your first one, Soul Sonar is pretty much self-explanatory. It's sonar but with souls. But instead like blips on the radar, it's color. Believe me, the first time I used it, I thought I was high. But after a few years, I realized that the colors represent the person's persona. So for murderers or people that are under that category, they're usually under grey tones. But the Wolf Crew's soul colors are so weird, it would make a rainbow feel like a last placed beauty contestant.
Sapphie's soul is a fluctuating blip of colors with a small streak of grey somewhere. It's beautiful to be looking at and when I meditate, I usually use her soul colors to keep calm. Yeah, kinda stalker-ish, right? I just can't help it. Her colors are really soothing.
Nerdy is pretty much all the shades of green and brown with another small streak of grey running in between. It made me feel like I was looking at a forest that had been untouched for millions of years.
Rumble was completely weird. First it was red, then it was kinda blue, the it was yellow, then it was forest green, the it was etc etc etc. It was seriously confusing to look at.
Wolfy was a pretty sad case. It was all shades of grey with crimson red splatters all over. It was kinda frightening to watch it fluctuating but at the same time, couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
I couldn't see mine so I don't know what it shows.
And for the second, probably the RoTBTD Fandom. It's awesome and weird at the same time.
After using my Soul Sonar, I found Sapphie near the Alchemy Station heading my way. Without another thought, I raced there, hoping to intercept her. And nearly tripping from the exhaustion.
The buzzing suddenly flared and black spots popped up in my vision. Before, the buzzing was easily ignored. But now, it was everything I could here. And the black spots wasn't helping too.
After a few moments of groaning and curling and uncurling into a ball, I could hear Wolfy just reprimanding me for sitting there like a baby and suck it up. So after a few moments, I got up and staggered my way to Sapphie.
When I reached her, I collapsed right in front of her feet. Wanting to save face, I plastered a goofy grin and said, "You're so beautiful, just the sight of you makes me faint," with a slight French accent because hey, French is the language of love.
"Seriously, Fear? Seriously?" She said with a raised eyebrow.
"Nah, just joking," I said with the goofy grin still plastered on my face, albeit wavering. Being near Sapphie is hard on my self-esteem, or whatever's left of it. I always start having doubts about myself and imagining scenarios that would never happen. My brain starts overthinking about everything. And sometimes my mouth doesn't cooperate with my brain. And every thread of my being is just screaming at me 'CONFESS! CONFESS! CONFESS!' like a demonic, anxiety-ridden mantra. And Wisdom would start to blabber, and Insanity would say really perverted stuff which I just try to block out.
But for once in my life, my brain felt clear, silent even though fatigue is hitting me in waves.
"Anyway, I need you for something," I said to her.
"What is it now?" She asked with an eye-roll.
The eye-roll blowed up the remainder of my self-esteem. I've been trying to be a good person and yet she only thinks I cause trouble. I know it's supposed to be jokingly but it still hurt.
"Just a small experiment," I answered with a small laugh to cover up the hurt in my soul. Before she could asked what it was, I grabbed her wrist and started pulling her towards the direction of the Forge.
"Are you up to your experiments again, Fear?" She asked when we reached there.
"Maybe... probably... it's classified." I answered between pants. I tried straightening up but the black spots started popping up. I ended up panting again. When the black spots started to cease, I straightened up again.
"Yeah, it's an experiment," I said "But it's safe this time, I swear!" I cut her off before she said anything else.
"Really?" She asked with an eyebrow raised. Great, now she doesn't believe me. There goes my self-esteem again.
"Yeah, it's safe," I answered.
"Even if it's safe, I wanna know. Why do you need me?" She asked again.
"Because the fragment of the moonstone won't accept my magic cause' it's all 'magic of darkness' and 'tainted with evil' and stuff. So, will you please help me?" I asked her my best baby-seal eyes.
Because of her height, I had to tilt my head a bit downward to look at her in the eyes. Her beautiful sapphire blue, shiny, sparkly-
A snap of fingers suddenly brought me to reality. With the sudden whipcrack of sound, I flinched backwards.
"Fear, you back to Earth? You were kinda zoning out there," She said.
"Yeah, I'm here. Anyway, what do you say?"
"Yes, I'll do it," She answered.
With a small jump and fist pump to the air, I entered the Forge.
Immediately, I sensed somebody's here. My muscles tense up and my mind went into overdrive, which was sorta painful due to the fatigue and buzzing and shit. But when I heard the wheatstone start grinding, I let down my guard. It was Wolfy.
She usually comes here to sharpen her weapons. And concoct another arsenal of weapons. And a lot more stuff I don't wanna go into detail about. I shiver from time to time just thinking about it.
After knowing Wolfy was here, I shouted out, "Hey, Wolfy!" before running towards the moonstone.
She didn't reply. Being a bit curious, I looked at her to find out why. Turns out she plugged her ears with her earphones and was listening to Panic! At The Disco, I think. My shadow is telling me that, not me.
Looking behind me, I saw Sapphie walking slowly towards me. Not wanting to waste time, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the invention.
"So, this is it?" She asked.
"Yup, it's supposed to be an efficient light source that uses the moonbeams as a conduit to create light. But so far, no progress. I tried using my magic but it doesn't take my 'tainted' magic and stuff, so I thought maybe you could help," I said.
"Looks safe. Okay, I'll try," She said before starting her Mage Powers and stuff to turn it back on. I missed everything she said because I was too busy admiring her. Her blue hair, her sapphire blue eyes, her button nose, her...her, AURA! It was glowing! I guess it's something that happens when Mages work.
But I realized something. She wasn't the only thing to glow. The teleportation stone started glowing as well. Sensing bad things happening, I instantly tried to warn Sapphie to stop.
Keyword:TRIED!
For some reason, she won't respond. It's as if she was lost from the world. I tried everything my mind would pop up, which wasn't much due to the pain. Nudging her, flicking her ear, outright pushing her(which ended up with me on the floor because of a pulse suddenly shooting out of her). The only thing I haven't tried yet was something I would never do if I didn't have a choice. But when seeing the teleportation stone suddenly emitting some sort of pulse, the buzzing flared up painfully and the black spots started popping up again.
Seeing no other option, and no other choice, and also wanting the pain to just STOP, I did something I'm pretty sure is gonna land me in a coma for the whole month. I did something that tore down every mental barrier that I had painfully constructed. I did something that would cause the wrist slashing, wall punching, and every method to harm myself imaginable to be ingrained into my habits.
I slammed my lips on to Sapphie's.
May this sentence be carved into my tombstone.
I, Fear Hellspawn, kissed Sapphire Fireheart and paid the price with blood, sacrifice, pain, bones breaking, being comatose and a whole boat load of stringed up curses.
There it is, folks! Looks like Fear's gonna die. Gonna miss that kid, was just starting to warm up to him. Anyway, the reason why being grounded for a week was funny because DRUMROLL PLEASE!
*Le Drumroll* IT'S CAUSE I'M GOING BACK TO MY BOARDING SCHOOL THIS SUNDAY! So there's not gonna be another update in like, forever!
You're just gonna have to be patient with me here. I don't like it either, so that's why I tried to make an extra long chapter. It seemed long in Word Document. FF is just messing with me. Anyway, Peace out and Stay Fearful for there's nothing to fear but fear itself!
