Chapter 1: Introductions of Friends
"Thank you for the purchase Dusk." The women at the counter said, handing me a bag filled with books.
"Anytime." I said with a smile grabbing the books.
"Have a nice day." She said.
"Thanks. Same to you too."
I walked out of the bookstore before checking all the books I bought.
"Alright I have all the books I need for now which makes me all caught all up now especially the latest book towards The Presden Files. I also have some of the books Bla-"
"Dusk!"
A loud voice called out. I turned around to meet a girl who looked around to be my age and stood around the same height as I am running up to me. She had medium length wavy purple hair which was tied up into a ponytail and grey eyes. She was wearing a red dress, a white sweater on which was unzipped, and finally a silver heart shaped necklace around her neck. I stopped and instantly smiled after recognizing who she was as she caught up to me.
"Man it's a good thing I notice you at the corner of my eye." She said, catching her breath, "Or else I would have missed you."
"Well it's a good thing you did. How are you Azure?" I asked her.
"I'm doing great. Thanks for asking." Azure said smiling.
This is Azure Yamato a local guild member here at Lowee and one of my close friends. We first met during one of my missions at the guild and we became friend since then. She's a kind person and a hard worker making her well known around the nation. I couldn't ask for a better friend.
"So what are you doing Dusk?" She asked.
"Well I was just grabbing some of the new books that just came out." I said as we begin to walk, "And I also went to grab some books for Blanc."
"Lady Blanc eh?" Azure said, with a small smirk on her face.
I'm starting to have a bad feeling about where this is going.
"Yeah what's wrong with that?" I asked, while being cautious.
"Oh nothing. I'm just wondering if you two are ever going to get tog-"
"No." I said bluntly not giving her the chance to finish.
"What?! Oh come on! Why not?!" She said taken off guard by my answer.
"We've talked about this before Azure." I said.
"B-But you two are perfect for each other." She said.
...Oh right there's one thing I forgot to mention about her. Azure here is a self proclaim match maker and she is obsessed with helping others find their ideal partner. Because of this she tries to get me or sometimes Cyrus into finding ours. If I'm being honest it's a big pain but she's my friend so I can't really get annoyed at her.
"You said the exact same thing with a random girl who was reading the same book as I was." I said recalling an event that occur a week ago.
"Minor setback. Because after all, love is patient." She said dismissing it,
"I swear next week you're going to try to set me up with Neptune or something."
"Hmm now that I think about it..."
"Oh no.."
"Relax I'm just kidding but now how can I set you two up?"
Before she got the chance to think, a hand landed on her shoulder
"Leave Dusk alone."
We both turn around to met a boy around our age who was barely showing emotion. He had grey eyes with short black hair and bangs covering his left eye, a black jacket, a white shirt, and finally a pair of blue pants with black shoes.
"Ah but don't you want to help out Dusk too, Nova?" She asked pouting.
"He doesn't want too... So leave him alone." Nova said with the same expression on his face.
As you heard he is Nova, however that's just a nickname, his full name is Nathan 'Nova' Colt. A quiet person with a bit of a shy side, he doesn't talk much unless he's the one being spoken too.
"I shouldn't have expected you people to understand, those who are blinded from love."
"Over...dramatic." Nova sighed.
"You shouldn't be the one to talk. After all people know how protective you are with your weapons." Azure said smirking.
One more thing, Nova here is a blacksmith and not just any ordinary blacksmith but a prodigy. He can make any type of weapon as long as he can put his mind into it, however he doesn't make weapons for just anyone as he only makes ones for those he thinks are worthy of receiving one.
"So? The weapons are a part of ourselves, especially since I put everything I got into making them so all of them are a part of me."
After Nova was done talking, Azure blinked a couple of times before speaking.
"You know every time you always that long, you always catch me off guard."
"Is it wrong?" Nova said tilting his head to the side confused.
"No just surprising." Azure then turn her attention to me. "Anyways now that we're here. I have a question for you."
"What is it?" I asked.
"Lately you been gone, I usually see you everyday but recently, not at all. What's going on?"
"Oh well I been busy." I said rubbing the back of my head. "Me and Cyrus been giving a whole bunch of work plus Cyrus is helping me with training so I barely have time to walk around."
"Still trying to transform?"
"Yep."
"Well...Good luck." Nova said.
"Yeah same here I know you can do it."
"Thanks both of you and it was nice seeing you guys but I have to go now. See ya." I smiled before running off.
Nova and Azure waved back to me before heading their separate ways or that was the plan until...
"Hey Azure! Nova!" They both see Cyrus casually walking down to them. "Just the two people I been looking for."
"What do you need us for?" Azure asked with Nova nodding in agreement.
"It's for Dusk." Cyrus said.
"Well if it's for Dusk then we're all ears."
"Good. Because I have a plan to help Dusk reach his God form and you two are going to be a big help towards it."
