IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE!
Hey everyone, it's me, Nick Foolery. Now, I'm sure you're all a little bit confused, or excited, or maybe both. An update! And it's been so long! Indeed, it has. However, this is not the update that you may or may not have been longing for from this story. In fact, it's a bit of the opposite. You see, I was recently going through my old stories, and re-reading them. And I realized something. I really, really liked this story. However, I kinda wrote myself into a corner with the whole quest thing. I really just jumped in without much of a plan, and way too fast. So, this caused me to kinda just give up on writing about it for a while. In fact, I have half of the actual 8th chapter written from 2019. More than 3 years ago. Now, I know many of you have probably moved on, and I have a lot of other stuff I want to write. But, as I was reading, I was hit with inspiration. I wanted to do more with this, but I also want to show how I've improved in my writing. There's some good moments in the original story, but I wanted to re-write the Prologue chapter, and show it to you all as a sort of Proof of Concept, I suppose. Show what this story has the potential of being. Now, it's your turn. If I get enough feedback from the readers, and you guys like it, I will go ahead and revamp the story. A lot of the core plot will stay the same, but as you'll see if you continue to read this chapter, I'll be reworking a lot of stuff as well. So, if you'd like, check out what I'm working with, and tell me what you think.
It was quiet in the God's Children Orphanage in upstate New York.
Not in a bad way mind you, more in the way that not a lot really happened, and that everyone that stayed there lived a relatively average life. The woman running the orphanage was a kindly older woman, whose husband had died some years ago and had never had any children of her own. The older kids helped out around the house, doing chores and wrangling the younger kids when they got a little too rowdy and such. Nothing out of the ordinary occurred around the area, and most people that came to adopt were perfectly well adjusted and normal.
"Ugh, I really wish this storm would let up. I'm dying of boredom in here."
Although, the peaceful calm wasn't without its critics.
A young girl giggled; a small book opened on her lap. "You've said that about a hundred times now, Link."
Said Link peaked his head up from his position dramatically laid out on his bed. "Yeah, well, I really just can't stand staying cooped up in this building. I want to be outside, doing something. Hell, I'd even kill to chop firewood right now. I'm gonna explode if I don't do something soon, Saria!"
Saria closed her book, and sighed, her smile not leaving her face. "Well, how about I break out a board game or something? The rain doesn't show any signs of stopping soon, so it's pointless to sit here and complain about it."
The teen boy sat up in his bed, his blonde hair held in place by an old looking green beanie, and his left ear sporting a shiny blue earring. Rubbing his hands together, he shrugged.
"I guess we could play Monopoly or something, that might pass some time. We were going to go exploring today though, so I can't help but be disappointed a little."
Saria stood up and began rummaging through the shelf that stood tall in the corner of the room. She brushed her short, green hair behind her ear, and smiled.
"Well, if nothing else, we can go wandering around tomorrow. It'll be nice and fresh out there, so who knows what kinds of cool stuff we could find."
She pulled out the box for the board game, and the two began setting up the board. Link passed the money back and forth, acting as the banker, and the two rolled the dice to determine who went first.
"You know, it's nice to stay inside sometimes. Rainy days like this can offer good opportunities for rest and to hang out with people you really like. So, I think it's a good thing that we get to do stuff like this."
The young girl smiled brightly, making the boy across from her sigh and smile.
"Well, I can't deny that I like the attitude. I just get antsy. I'm gonna buy that property."
She nodded. "Yeah, I know. You've just got an adventurous spirit!"
They shared a giggle, although the young boy frowned softly soon after.
"Is it bad that I want to get out of here so bad? Sometimes I feel bad because I hate to just leave everyone alone here, but I also know that I'll die if I just stay here forever."
Saria gave a small, sad smile. "Well, I don't think so. I know that Mrs. Harnikian needs all the help she can get now that she's getting older, but there's plenty of us around to help. Besides, you've gotta live your own life and go your own path. I know that you're gonna leave here one day to move on to bigger things."
Link nodded. "Yeah. What about you?"
He already knew what she was going to say, as they'd had many conversations like this before, but he couldn't help but ask. The younger girl beamed a smile.
"I'm not sure. Though, I can't see myself doing anything other than sticking around and helping around the orphanage. It's the only family I've ever needed."
He nodded again. Saria had been his best friend for as long as he could remember, really, and she had always said the same thing. She wanted to stick around the orphanage, while Link wanted to go out and see the world. In all honesty, he wasn't too sad about it. While he knew that they'd go their separate ways one day, he really couldn't see Saria doing anything else. Plus, it wasn't like he'd never see her again after he left anyway. He could always come visit.
"Oh, straight to jail!"
There was a soft knock on the open door, and the two turned their attention to the opening of the doorframe. Mrs. Harnikian smiled warmly at them.
"Oh, I see you two are playing some Monopoly. That's nice. I remember when that game came out!"
The young boy honestly wasn't sure if the woman was joking or not, but he chuckled anyway. The older woman never lost her smile, and simple pat the doorframe, turning around.
"I just wanted to let you two know that we'll be having some lunch soon. If you'd like to spread the word a little for me, I'd greatly appreciate it."
The two nodded, speaking in unison. "Yes ma'am."
She nodded as well. "Wonderful then. I'll see you all in just a moment."
The older woman hobbled away back towards the kitchen, and the two teens stood up.
"Well, guess we gotta put the game on hold then."
Saria nodded. "We'll finish it up after lunch though! C'mon, let's split up and tell everyone that it's lunch time."
The two went around the orphanage, telling the ten or so other kids that they would be eating lunch soon, and to gather in the kitchen together. Link and Saria were two of the oldest kids in the orphanage, so they did a lot to help Mrs. Harnikian when they could.
"Yo, Link. Glad you could finally join us."
Fado was a bit younger than him and Saria, but him and his brother Mido also did a fair bit around the house. It had always amused Link, because Fado was always calm and laidback, while his brother…
"Yeah, it's about time! On behalf of the rest of us, why don't you speed it up sometimes? We always have to wait on you to eat!"
Mido was a loudmouth, one whom Link did not enjoy hearing very much. The older teen rolled his eyes.
"You know, maybe if you'd quit jabbering every now and again, you wouldn't be so hungry all the time, huh?"
The younger boy growled, and clenched his fists, but elected to remain quiet.
"Now, now you two. No need to bicker. Look, the food is ready."
Some of the volunteers, as well as Link and Saria, served the orphans bowls of stew, the smell pleasantly wafting around the kitchen and dining area. Soon, everyone had sat down, and were directed through a short prayer by Mrs. Harnikian before digging in.
Link ate quickly, a habit he had developed over the years, enjoying the taste but not taking the extra time to savor the food. It usually amused Saria, and she'd giggle and roll her eyes, while taking a much slower approach to her own food. The children laughed and talked while eating, and the old woman sitting at the head of the table smiled warmly as she watched everyone interact. In the midst of the meal, there was a loud crash that reverberated through the air.
"Oh my! Was that thunder?"
Link shook his head. "No, sounded a lot more like something fell outside. I can go check it out, Mrs. Harnikian."
The older woman nodded. "Well, I know you're finished with your food, so it's fine. Do be careful though, dear. It still looks like it could get worse any second now."
When he stood up, Saria stood with him, also having finished her food. "I'll go, to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble."
The older woman giggled, and Link rolled his eyes.
"Well, come on then, we don't have all day."
The two ventured outside, and although the rain had slacked significantly, the sky was still dark with angry looking clouds. It wasn't long before they had found the culprit of the noise they had heard.
"What in the world even happened here?"
They stood before a small tool shed that was outside nearby the orphanage. Although, at this point, it could hardly be considered on at all. A huge tree branch rested squarely in the middle of the wreckage, and the building had pretty much all collapsed. There were tools scattered among the debris, and Link picked up a heavy rake, frowning.
"The tools seem to be okay for the most part. I guess a branch must've fell on it?"
Saria frowned. "That's strange though, 'cause the rain and stuff hasn't really been that heavy for a few minutes, and the crash just happened."
Link shrugged. "Maybe it got shaken loose and just now fell?"
The young girl furrowed her brow, looking up above them. "If that were the case, then where did it fall fro-"
Her sentence was interrupted when there was another crash, followed by a loud boom. Link spun towards the sound, coming from nearby the orphanage.
"That sounded like thunder. But I didn't see any lightning?"
"Link! Look out!"
The young teen spun around, just in time to see a strange creature jump at him, swinging a large club wildly. He yelped, and narrowly avoided the blow, watching as the creature came down beside him. He stared at it, wide-eyed, and took in its appearance. It had a short, pig-like nose, and large floppy ears, with a single horn resting in the center of its head. It was an ugly red color, and it snorted angrily when it noticed that it had missed its target, turning to face Link with solid blue eyes.
"Link come on! Run!"
Saria snapped the young teen out of his staring contest with the strange monster, and he jumped back again, barely avoiding another swing from the monster. Saria quickly grabbed him by his wrist, and the two began to make their way back towards the main building of the orphanage. They rounded the corner, and Link's stomach turned in horror.
Several more of the same monsters were piling around the entrance, where the door had been busted down by a singular monster, much larger than the others. The sounds of yelling and screaming echoed from inside, and the two teens froze solid in their tracks. Flames licked the edge of the building, despite the rain that was softly falling from the sky. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before the monsters seemed to take notice of them too, a couple of them running for them, holding large clubs with bone spikes. They backpedaled, but the monsters caught up to them easily. In the moment, Link stepped in front of Saria, still holding onto the rake that he had picked up earlier.
"Saria. You need to run."
The green hair girl shook her head, her hair matted by the rain. "No way! I'm not leaving you here alone, Link!"
The young teen gritted his teeth, swinging the rake forward, and knocking one of the clubs out of the hands of one of the monsters, which Saria quickly grabbed and picked up. Her face shone with resolute determination.
"I can help too!"
Link frowned, yelling to the girl. "I don't want you to get hurt!"
She shook her head and gave him a confident smile. "Well, I don't want YOU to get hurt! So I'm staying!"
The monster that had lost its weapon jumped forward, but Link knocked it backwards with the rake. It fell to the ground, clearly dazed, but it was soon back on its feet, and joined its two, armed friends. Saria swung her club, getting a solid hit in on one of the monsters, but it didn't seem too fazed by it. Link swung his rake once more, but he was clearly beginning to grow tired, and his rake was steadily splintering from the continuous hits. Saria stood to the left of him, the two of them taking turns knocking the monsters back.
"This is now use! They're hardly even fazed by all this!"
Saria was panting. "We…hah…have..to…keep trying!"
He turned to her for a split second, and was about to open his mouth, when he heard a sickening noise. Saria stared back at him, wide-eyed, and for a moment, everything was completely still. Out from Saria's chest, the tip of a metal blade jutted out, red from the blood of the young girl. Behind her, a blue version of the monsters stood, its eyes staring forward unblinking. Saria looked down, her eyes still wide.
"…Link?" She choked out.
The sword slid from her chest, and she crumpled to the ground, completely unmoving. The young teen knelt beside his friend, ignoring the steady advance of the monsters, and put his hand to her neck, trying to feel for a pulse. As soon as he looked into her eyes, though, he could tell that he was too late.
He dropped her hand, standing up as the world began to spin around him. The sounds around him began to mute, the sound of rumbling overtaking his mind. A searing pain burned in his chest, and his vision began to be overtaken by white, before he let out a feral scream.
And promptly passed out.
Flashes of scenes he didn't recognize flew through his mind. A tall man with flaming red hair. A beautiful blonde, smiling at him widely. A sword, mounted in a pedestal, with a single light shining on it from above. A great calamity. A rift in time. A land, trapped in twilight. A vast ocean.
And finally, three golden figures, presenting three golden triangles.
He awoke abruptly, sitting up quickly. This, however, turned out to be a mistake, as sharp pains stabbed throughout his body, making him groan in pain. He inspected himself, seeing all kinds of knicks and bruises, but thankfully, nothing life-threatening. Mostly, he was sore. He looked around, but there were no more monsters anywhere, nothing but wreckage and debris. He looked to his left, and he felt his heart seize, as he remembered what had happened.
Saria still laid crumpled on the ground next to him. He grunted, moving closer to her, and grabbing her hand gently.
"Saria…"
Tears flowed down his face unapologetically, as he mourned his friend. He wasn't sure what time it was, or when he had woken up, but as the sun crested in the sky, shining down directly on them, he decided that it was finally time to stand up. He was still sore, but the pain was beginning to subside already. Maybe he was just numb right now though. He looked back towards the orphanage. It had completely collapsed at this point, only some of the large support beams still standing tall. The wood from the building was charred black, and still smoldering in some places. He stumbled forward, towards the shed, hoping that at least a single shovel had survived, so he could give Saria a proper burial. Or something. He couldn't just leave her body there.
Like before, most of the tools were in-tact, so he was easily able to find a shovel that he could use. The ground was soft from the rain too, so it wasn't difficult to dig a good enough hole. As he pierced the ground, the shovel was heavy in his hands. There probably weren't any remains left of the people in the orphanage. Maybe some of them even escaped? He wasn't optimistic, but he supposed it was at least a possibility.
"Alright, that'll do."
He went over to his friend, and gently picked her up, before laying her in the hole, crossing her arms over her chest like he had seen in movies. Her skin was pale, and she was cold to the touch, her dull green eyes still wide open. Link's heart clenched, and he could feel himself tearing up again. Gently, he leaned down and shut her eyes.
"What am I going to do now, Saria?"
He knew she couldn't respond, but somehow, after he asked that, her own words echoed back into his head.
"We have to keep trying!"
She had wanted to stay, to try to help everyone, while Link wanted her to run. He would've probably ran himself too. He remembered her determined face when she had picked up the monster's club, despite still shaking with fear while wielding it.
"Keep trying, huh?"
He stood up, and clenched his fists, wiping away his tears, and setting his jaw.
"I'll do it for you Saria. I don't know where these monsters came from, but I wanna get to the bottom of this."
He filled the hole and marked the grave with a circle of stones. Next to the grave, he noticed that the sword that the monster had used was laying haphazardly in the dirt, along with its scabbard. He picked it up and held it out in front of him.
"I'll find out who or what or whatever is responsible for this."
He looked to the sun as it began to lower towards the west. He figured that his best bet was to head south, where most of civilization was. Maybe he'd find some answers there.
So, he began to walk.
After a while of walking, he realized that heading directly south into the forest was probably a mistake. He could've easily followed the roads and gotten on the main highway. Hell, he probably could've even hitchhiked his way south. In his determination though, and probably a little due to the shock, he had walked straight in the direction of south. It was beginning to grow dark as the sun nestled itself behind the trees, and he knew that he'd have to find a place soon to sleep. He didn't realize before, but he was completely exhausted, and once his adrenaline finally wore off, he was barely running on fumes. He hadn't eaten either and that was a recipe for disaster for him. He groaned, stopping for a minute to sit down, and rest his legs.
He hadn't been sitting there long, before he heard a rustling, and what sounded like quick footsteps crushing pinestraw and sticks nearby. He stood up quickly, and drew the sword, holding it out in front of him defensively. He didn't really know how to use it, but the hilt felt natural in his hands, and the weight of the blade was comfortable, at least more so than the rake he had been using the night before.
He stayed silent, hoping that it was just some wild animal that was walking around, and that it would leave him alone.
"What are you doing here, male?"
He spun around, and was met with an arrow, knocked and ready to shoot, pointing directly at his head. When he saw the girl that was holding the bow, he lowered his sword slightly.
"I'm headed south. Do you live around here? Sorry if I was trespassing or something."
She gave him a curious glance, before gesturing to his sword.
"Put your weapon away, or I'll be forced to shoot."
He frowned, but slowly put the sword back in the sheath, trusting that she'd lower her own weapon. When she didn't, he frowned.
"Ah, could you do the same? I don't really feel comfortable with an arrow pointing straight for my face."
She frowned for a moment, before doing so as well. She stared at the dirty teenager, frowning.
"You. Are you from Camp Half-Blood? If so, what are you doing out here?"
He frowned, not having a singular idea what Camp Half-Blood was.
"I don't know what that is."
She rose an eyebrow.
"Yet you carry around a sword?"
He wasn't sure what the sword had to do with it. Maybe she assumed he came from some kind of Renaissance fair? He didn't know, but he grimaced.
"Look, this probably sounds crazy, but I'm from an orphanage that's a few miles north. We were attacked by some kind of strange monsters, and…"
He choked on his words, unable to say exactly what happened, but the woman's gaze softened ever so slightly.
"What kind of monsters?"
He described them to her, and she furrowed her brow once more.
"That's very strange. I've never heard of any kind of monster like that before. We have been hearing strange noises in the forest, but there haven't been many monsters lurking around…"
She mumbled to herself, and Link dared not make a move, unsure of what he was supposed to do in a situation like this. Finally, she looked up to him, her expression dead serious.
"I'm going to need you to come with me, mortal. You must speak to my lady."
The statement caught the teen completely off guard. "Your lady? What's that supposed to mean."
She began to walk into the woods, gesturing for him to follow.
"Come now, male, we don't have much time."
He frowned but followed her anyway. "My name is Link, by the way. You keep calling me 'Mortal' and 'Male,' and while yes, I am both of those things, I'm not sure why the distinction is so important."
She tossed a short look over her shoulder but continued forward. "You'll find out in due time. My name is Madison. Come quickly, then. Our camp isn't far from here."
'Her camp?' Link wondered to himself. Maybe they were like hunters or something, camping in the woods? He wasn't sure what was going on, but it was shaping up to be the craziest thing that had ever happened to him in his short life.
She wasn't lying when she said it was close. They hadn't walked long at all, before Link was presented with a huge network of tents, and several young women walking around in silver parkas and carrying bows and daggers. Maybe it was like a club or something. Although, why wear silver? Wouldn't you stand out more then?
They suddenly came to a stop, and Link shook his head free of his musings. Madison turned to him, a serious look on her face.
"I recommend that you remain silent and to yourself, male. We don't take too kindly to men, especially those who don't know how to act."
The threat was weighty, and Link believed her. He wasn't sure why it was such a big deal, but he nodded his head, electing to remain silent like she said. They continued forward, deeper into the camp, and he noticed that he was getting strange and dirty looks from all over the place. The women stared at him like he had a second head, and some looked like they wanted to pummel him for simply existing. Needless to say, he was glad that Madison had given him a heads up.
Soon, they reached the largest tent, situated in the middle of the camp, and Madison called out.
"Lady Artemis. I need to have an audience with you."
There was a moment of silence, before a voice responded.
"Come in."
Madison entered the tent, and Link followed behind her, suddenly feeling extremely uncomfortable in the situation he was in.
Sitting on a stack of pelts in the middle of the room was what looked to be an average twelve-year-old girl, wearing a similar outfit to the rest of the women and girls that were all over camp. However, as soon as Link made eye contact with her, he was completely stunned. The girl's eyes were a striking silver, and she radiated power all through the tent. It made the young teen want to collapse onto his knees, just from sheer fear and respect. The girl gave him a once over, and then turned to Madison.
"What is the meaning of bringing this male into camp? What has he done?"
Link frowned a bit at the immediate accusation, but Madison was quick on the draw.
"Milady, it isn't what he's done, but rather, what he's seen."
The girl, Lady Artemis, quirked an eyebrow.
"Oh?" She turned to Link, her look intense. "Well then, boy. Spit it out."
He steeled himself, and nodded, before explaining to the girl what he had seen, describing the monsters and the absolute carnage that had occurred at the orphanage. As he told his story, Artemis grew thoughtful, and once she had finished, the tent remained silent for a moment before she spoke again.
"That is an interesting tale, boy." She then turned to Madison. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Gather a detail and have them search the forest to see if they can find any of these monsters. You're dismissed."
Madison went to stand up, but Link spoke before he stood up.
"Wait, hold on a second. Can someone explain to me what is going on here? You're all acting pretty nonchalant about actual murderous monsters."
Madison slapped the back of his head. "Watch your tongue in front of milady, male."
Artemis held her hand up and looked at the young teen.
"Boy, do you know of the ancient Greek legends? Stories of gods and heroes and monsters?"
He was quiet for a moment, trying to recall all the stories he'd heard and been told.
"I…suppose? That's like Zeus and the Olympians, right?"
She nodded. "Yes, indeed. They're all real. In fact, you're sitting in the presence of one right now."
Link stared at her for a moment, before putting together her name, and what he remembered from mythology.
"O-oh."
Unsure of what to do, he simply lowered himself into a sort of kneeling bow. Artemis snickered.
"Rise boy."
He did as she said and ran a hand through his hair.
"Never would I have thought…well what happens next?"
Artemis looked at him. "I can give you safe passage to a place that can help you. Although I usually distaste of males, I am also a goddess of motherhood and children, and you still a child."
Link frowned. "You're going to look for more of those strange monsters, right? I made a promise to a dear friend that I would get to the bottom of what they are."
The goddess nodded. "I won't allow a male to travel with my hunt, but I will send word if we find anything of note."
The teen nodded slowly. "Thank you, milady."
It was an odd thing for him to say, but Artemis seemed to approve, so he was okay with it. She motioned for him to stand.
"I can't send you directly there, but I can get you close. Ask for Chiron, he will be able to assist you."
Before the young teen could even get a word out, he was already somewhere completely different. He could smell the ocean nearby, but the area he was in was still covered in forest.
"Am I on the coast…?"
He paused momentarily, before hearing noises nearby, and deciding to move towards them. Unfortunately, Artemis hadn't given him any directions on where to go, simply that he would be 'close.' He had no idea what that meant, but hopefully he could find the place soon.
As he approached the noise, he recognized it as the thwip of an arrow, followed by it hitting its target. There had been some people that came and showed them some archery stuff once, and he was really interested. Although, Mrs. Harnikian wouldn't let them shoot unsupervised, he still was able to get some practice in periodically.
Link walked into a bit of an opening in the woods, and finally figured out what the noise was coming from. Frozen in his tracks, he stared at the beast that stood before him, shooting its bow into a nearby tree. From the top up, it almost looked human, save for its red skin, white mane, huge horns and claws and stuff. The bottom half was more like a horse, also being the same red color. On its back, a huge sword and shield were strapped on. Luckily, the centaur-like creature seemed preoccupied with what it was doing, so Link could probably just sneak away, and not ha-
"SNAP!"
He looked down to his foot, and almost cried when he saw the branch that he had stepped on and snapped. The beast spun around, and immediately noticed the blonde teen. Then, much to Link's horror, it let out a tremendous roar, and grabbed its sword and shield off it's back, before charging directly for him.
There was no way to outrun the thing, so he grit his teeth, and drew his sword. As it grew closer, he waited, and at the last second, he jumped out of the way, letting the beast fly past him into the woods. It slammed into a few trees, and in its momentarily dazed state, Link slashed the back of the beast's flank with his sword. The monster's hide was thick, though, and the sword barely left a gash. It did serve to make it even angrier, though, and the monster spun around on him, rearing its sword back.
He backpedaled, causing the monster to barely miss him, although he could hear the whistle of the blade as it passed in front of him.
He grunted, almost tripping on some loose rocks behind him as he backed up.
'This is not good! I'm going to die out here if I can't find a way to get away soon!'
The monster charged again, and Link dove out the way. It hit no trees this time, but Link landed awkwardly on his arm, straining his shoulder, and sending a sharp pain through the left side of his body. His sword arm became shaky, and he switched it to his less coordinated right hand. The beast spun back around to face him, rearing its weapons once more at him. This time, it slammed its shield at him, surprising him, and getting a solid hit in. The sharp metal on the shield left a large gash in his left shoulder, and the force from the impact sent him flying back a couple feet, directly into a large tree. He fell unceremoniously onto the ground and felt his consciousness slipping away. He attempted to stand back up, but ultimately failed, and fell back to the ground as the beast approached him.
He clenched his fist.
'I'm sorry, Saria. I wasn't able to keep my promise after all…'
As he waited for the final blow to come down upon him, a voice called out from behind the beast.
"HEY UGLY! What do you think you're doing in my woods?!"
Link turned his head to face what was going on and saw as a glowing bronze blade passed through the midsection of the beast, stabbed right through the back, and the monster roared in pain. It bucked, knocking its assailant off its back, but it was no use. Whoever it was, was fast. They sent out their sword in a flurry of swipes, setting huge gashes all throughout the red beast. Before long, the monster collapsed, and its corpse began to burn away with blue flames, leaving behind nothing but some viscera, its horns, and its hooves. The swordfighter ignored the spoils and came directly to Link.
"Jeez kid, you're banged up bad. Come on, let's get you to camp, and get you fixed up."
The stranger hoisted him up onto his shoulders pretty easily, and Link faded into unconsciousness.
AAAAAAAAND THAT'S A WRAP! I, for one, am super proud of how that came out, and hope you feel the same! Remember, I wanna know if you guys actually wanna read something like this, so lemme know in the reviews and stuff! If I get enough feedback, I'll revamp this story and get back to updating it at least as regularly as my other stuff! It's been a while, and I'm a second year engineering student, so I'll try to update as much as possible, but I stay super busy! It's actually 5 AM where I am right now, and I wrote this hot off the heels of a huge technical report I had to do, cause I was so inspired. Remember to stay frosty my friends, and as always…
See You On the Flip-Side~Nick Foolery
