Owain slowly woke up. He struggled a bit as he removed his head from the table.
"What happened?" he asked himself. He looked around and realised he wasn't in his house. He looked at the table to find a textbook. He thought for a moment until the puzzle was complete. He was in his neighbor's house. He then stopped moving when he heard soft snoring. He turned around to find a certain Raven haired girl asleep. He peeked over the bed and caught a glimpse of her face. It was covered half way into the blanket due to the cold temperature. Owain chuckled slightly before slowly walking to the door. He slowly closed the door and went down stairs. He looked around the small room with a kitchen and lounge area. Just as he was about to open the front door, he paused as he began to think about Nyx who tutored him. He felt his pride not allow him to leave a debt unpaid. But what can he do?
….
Nyx groaned and slowly rose up. She rubbed her eyes despite the dark room. She stretched and looked around her room. She noticed something mission….or someone. She noticed the unoccupied table.
"Looks like he left." Nyx said to herself and got up. She felt cold the moment she left her bed. She grabbed her bathrobe and left her room. She then smelled something in the air. A scent of bacon was present and Nyx looked down stairs and noticed the lights were on. 'Guess not.' Nyx thought and walked down stairs and found Owain eating at the table.
"Sup." Owain said as he ate. Nyx starred at him before responding. "Hey."
"I made you some too." Owain said and gestured atthe plate filled with food. To Nyx's surprise, she did not expect him to know how to cook. Then again, this was nothing special as anyone can cook this.
"I was not expecting you to be here, let alone cook." Nyx said and sat next to him and began to eat.
Owain gave Nyx a skeptical look. "Do you want me to leave?" He asked.
Nyx looked at him. "I don't care to be honest. What you do is none of my concern."
Owain sighed. "How long have we been friends?"
Nyx paused. She began to think for a moment before responding. "5 months. Why?"
Owain shrugged. "5 months, and you still don't have faith in me."
Nyx starred at him. "Why should I? Throughout those five months all you have done was play dress up and scream nonsense on how you will protect the world."
Owain paused for a moment. She was right, but not all of it. "Nyx, can you come to my house after your done?"
Nyx choked a bit. "What?"
Owain chuckled. 'I mean..I want to show you something. Something that might change your mind."
Nyx raised an eyebrow. "And why?"
Owain sighed. "You say you don't have faith in me because I don't take things seriously. Well I want to show you something that might change your perspective on me."
Nyx paused for a moment. Why does she care for him. He's a man child. But at the same time….Why does she feel so strange. "Sure." She said. She wasn't sure why she said it.
"Great..meet you there." Owain said and left the house. Nyx was left alone to think about how she feels about things.
'What is wrong with me?' Nyx thought.
….
Nyx was in front of Owains house. She sighed a bit and hesitated to knock on his door. Owain opened his door, wearing his hero uniform. "Hello Dark Sor-"
"Don't. Call. Me. Sorceress!" Nyx warned. "And why are you wearing that?"
"Uh...yeah, most of my clothes are in the washer...Hehhe…"
Nyx sighed. "You're hopeless."
Owain chuckled. "Well, come in." Nyx entered his house and looked around. His was bright and had tan walls all over. "Seems nice."
"Thanks."
"Sooo….you want to show me something?" Nyx asked.
"Oh right." Owain said and walked up stairs. "Come."
Nyx gave him a skeptical look before going up stairs. She entered the room and already, she was not surprised as his room was filled with comic books, statues and other kinds of merchandise. "Nice…..place." Nyx said, sounding uninterested. "Is this what you wanted to show me?" Nyx asked.
Owain chuckled. "Of course not. I wanted to show you this." He took out a black box and opened it up to reveal a police badge. Nyx inspected it. So far, it was not fake. It seemed pretty legit. "Owain...where did you get this? You're not even a cop."
"My dad's a cop." Owain said and closed the box. "That's my goal. My dad was my hero growing up. He would be the one to put himself in the front line before anyone else. He fought many criminals and brought justice."
Nyx looked at him, surprised. She was not expecting Owain to have an ambition to be something. So far she only watched him dress up as a superhero. "Owain...I'm impressed."
"Really? No sarcasm?" Owain asked.
"Yeah." Nyx said. "I thought you were just a teenager in an adult body."
Owain shrugged a bit. "Look who's talking."
The raven hair growled. "Don't even go there."
Owain chuckled a bit. "Alright alright."
Nyx looked around his room. She then noticed his desk covered with papers. She looked at Owain who gave her a nod. Nyx began searching through the pile of drawings. Drawings about an Odin Dark. Most of them were poses and attacks until she came across something different. She found five drawings that look exactly like her titled the Dark Sorceress. She wore a dark purple veil across over her mouth as well as what seemed to be a golden headdress. The witch also wore a dark blue cloak that covered her shoulders and neck. Her clothing was a bit revealing as she wore see through top and leggings. The only thing that were covered up were extremely short bottoms and a small top. Aside from the looks of clothing, it was a bit accurate to what she looks like now.
"Owain, what is this?" She asked and handed him the picture. Owain looked at it and smiled. "Ah, thats the main antagonist to Odin Dark. The Dark sorceress herself. She has lived for a thousand years due to her hatred to the world."
Nyx wasn't sure why she was taking interest in this, but decided to play along. "What made her hate the world?"
Owain looked at the papers again. "Well, a long time ago. There was a girl and a boy who are both wizards, geniuses. However, they were outcasts and lived in Isolation. The girl Nila wanted to keep all of the knowledge they have acquired to themselves. The boy Odin wanted to share with the world. Nila kept reminding him that this wasn't a good idea as everyone outside did not accept mages such as themselves. Odin refused and went outside to teach people. Only to be introduced to pitchforks and torches. Odin ran off and found his cottage destroyed. The girl…..Nila was found alive but in a horrible state. She killed her attackers but couldn't save their cottage. Furious with the loss of everything, Nila wanted revenge against the humans. Odin tried to convince her that it was his fault. The girl didn't care. She wanted to kill them all. Odin then devoted himself to protecting the humans from Nila's wrath. Even if they don't ask for help, he would always be there. Today, they are still alive. Nila the Dark Sorceress and Odin Dark fight until one of them is defeated."
Nyx listened to all of this. This story was interesting. Aside from some cheesy and cliche lines, it sounded good to be put into a book. "Thats…..not bad at all."
"Wow." Owain smirked. "Thanks. Thats a first."
"Though it is still cheesy." Nyx stated.
"Gee...thanks, I guess?" Owain hesitated..
Nyx and Owain paused. There was silence between the two. They ran out of things to talk about. Nyx was irritated by this and looked at Owain. "If that's all you have….then I will go."
Owain stood up. "Wait Nyx…"
Nyx turned around and looked at comic nerd. "Yes Owain?"
"You know….um….do you want to...hang out?" Owain asked.
The raven hair blushed. "Are you…...asking me out?"
Owin blushed. "N-n-no not like that...just hang out….like friends?"
Nyx thought for a moment, she closed her eyes and looked at Owain. "Sure."
"Great! Uh I mean….what time?" Owain asked.
Nyx turned around preparing to leave. "7:00 pm." She then left the nerd alone in his room. He jumped for joy. "YES!" He shouted. He wasn't sure why, but he felt excited.
