A) Sorry for the chapter being so short.
B) I don't know how to play chess, so just go with it in the Konzern brothers scene.
C) I have no idea when I'll update this story again, as in no more than three weeks, I have finals, and after that, I'm off to Florida for a week. So that's a define two weeks I won't be updating.
D) For those of you who follow me on Deviant Art and has seen my latest OCs (Starfield- Next Generation works) read the A/N at the bottom of this chapter.
"Wake up."
Wales jerked when someone slammed a book on his chest. He blinked blearily, seeing the fuzzy outline of-
"Lucas- ow!" Wales rubbed his head as another book connected with his body.
"Of you want to know anything about me, start going through these books." Lucas said, flatly.
Yet another book collided with Wales, this time in the abdomen, making him grunt, before Luke turned and walked away.
Wales watched him go, before turning his eyes downwards, to the books in his lap.
History of Vampires, Known Abilities of Vampires, and Vampire Weaknesses all stared back up at him.
He sighed and flipped open a book. Guess it was time to get reading.
"It's impossible, almost." nero said, staring down at the chess board that sat on his bed, between him and his brother. Julian looked up, raising an eyebrow.
"How so?" Julian raised an eyebrow, "Better yet: What is?"
"Defeating Todo O Mal's forces." Nero said.
"What do you mean?" Julian leaned back on his hands, eyeing his brother curiously.
Nero reacted by putting the chess pieces back into their starting points, "Queens are Morgana and Todo O Mal, kings are the leutinants, rooks are warlocks and witches, bishops are demons, knights are shapeshifters, and the pawns are vampires, faries, angels, and dragons."
Julian leaned forward, "You're playing all the possible scenarios, aren't you?"
"Yeah. You're Morgana's forces right now.' Nero said, "Let's assume Todo O Mal will wnat to finish Morgana off personally.
"She'd have to get through us."
"Exactly. Now, based on what we know, who would attack first?"
"Demons. They're more tempermental." Julian said, edging a bishop forward.
"Right, but demons stand under warlocks and vampires." Nero moved a rook forward.
"Both of which can be beaten by angels." A pawn made it's way across the board, and Julian snatched Nero's rook.
Nero paused, thinking, Angels are hard to beat, except with another, more powerful angel. Dragons, however...
One of Nero's pawns edged forward.
Dragon, Julian realized, Impossible to defeat, but can be injured by a warlock or witch... Julian moved a rook forwards, eyes narrowing in suspicion as Nero edged a knight on to the board.
Why a shapeshifter... Julian wondered, They're easily wiped out by vampires.
Julian snatched the knight and placed a pawn in it's place.
Then he realized his mistake, the moment he saw Nero's smirk.
Nero grabbed Julian's pawn and replaced it with his own.
"You're thinking like a chess player. Think like a strategist." Nero said.
With that comment, Julian knocked Nero's pawn off the board with his rook.
"What makes you think I'm not?" Julian challenged, watching Nero's face pinch in slight anger, "Your move, little brother. What forces do you think Todo O Mal would send out next?"
Chao Xin exhaled, slowly, as he slowly pulled his shirt on. It hurt to move to sharply or stretch to much, as he could constantly feel the tug of his scarred flesh burn and ache every time he moved without doing it slowly.
Standing up and crossing his bedroom, to the full length mirror, Chao Xin let his glamour fall away, revealing his wings. While his injured wing was still wrapped up to his side- it seriously threw him off balance- his other was as healthy as could be.
It'll take a few weeks for your wing to heal, his mom had said.
It may take some time, Xue had caught him in the middle of the hallway, between classes, a few days earlier, But by the time your wing heals, impress mom with your ability. I haven't told her what happened, except you shielded yourself with your wings.
Chao Xin put the glamour back up and turned away from his reflection, snapping his fingers. Almost instantly, a spark of yellow light appeared between his index finger and thumb. He spread said digits, and the spark grew until it was about the size of a baseball in the palm of his hand.
A sudden knock on his bedroom door broke Chao Xin's concentration, and the spark flickered out of existence.
Chao Xin scowled, and threw open the door.
"What?!" He snapped.
There was no one at the door.
Chao Xin blinked, before shrugging and turning back around, shutting his door.
Before he had time to react, there was a bright red flash, and his entire world went black.
SO! My DA and FF followers, you have reached a very important A/N:
STARFIELD ACADEMY WILL HAVE A SEQUEL!
Yes, my friends, you have read correctly. I've got an idea for a sequel- technically, if you know DarkHeart Yami and have read his story, Seven Pendant Warriors, it'll be the rewrite of that- and it will be set thirty years after Starfield, and follow Starfield Academy student's kids lives. Does that makes sense? I hope so.
Which means, after this story's final chapter, I will post a OC form for those of you who've sent an OC for Starfield- except for the kids.
Speaking of final chapters, we're starting to reach the climax of Starfield. Which means... HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS FOLKS! CAUSE IT'S ALL A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTION AND EVERYTHING ELSE FROM HERE!
Okay, now you can review.
