I'm back! And I have not given up I have just had a very crappy time since the last chapter but know that I have been feeling really guilty about the lack of chapters. As for this one, it'll be short as my original plans have changed. Next chapter is a cardfighting chapter and a proper one but it is taking me ages to balance correctly as Blake has a custom deck which will be given a preview at the end. Finally, I am doing a Sword Art Online Fanfic which is going to be a big project which I have put so much thought into. It will be up around tomorrow or sooner if possible.
Enjoy!
The week at the old family house was almost up. I learnt a lot about Brook, of how he has changed. Some ways were good, others scared me. The newfound seriousness, the distant look in his eyes. And the secrets. I was going to find out sooner or later but the late night letters caught my attention. I hid one under the piano in my old room. I was always gifted with music and the like and my skills soon returned to me. I learnt dark secrets of Joe, some kept me up at nights, other made me gag at the atrocity. Bloody turncoat. I thought about all of this as my deft, callous fingers swept over the notes on the piano time and time again, preforming complex melodies. Slow and fast and repeat. Such was my life. Stuck in one gear and then 0 to 100 in the space of a second. I knew Brook listened to the piano most nights. I just didn't turn. I felt guilt, gut wrenching guilt at failing to be strong. I put it to the back of mind but when your body just shudders at the slightest breeze, those feelings return. Brook knows this. And Felicia. And Davis. Even Koutei would know. But here I was with only music as my comfort. It was late. Brook had gone out for something, it slipped my mind what it was. I just sat there, not realising I wasn't even moving. Just staring. I hadn't gone back to the person I was before. No I was something worse. Someone who had everything back yet still felt as if everything was missing. In a way it was. Even Vanguard failed to support me. I needed something new, something powerful. But alas nothing worked. I started to walk down the stairs, aimlessly searching. I walked into the kitchen and saw an old picture. My entire life flashed s if it could be captured in a single photo. Anger grew at how much I had lost to so many people. Even to some weird ethereal power that made people insane. I saw a clear glass bottle with a clear liquid inside. Liquor. Strong as well. I realised how helpless I was. I picked up the bottle thinking of how Brook would be angry at how I would just let myself go. I felt guilty about it. So I just walked away, bottle in hand. I wouldn't find a solution at the bottom. But it gave me shovel to bury problems in. I sat down against a wall, close to more pictures. I unscrewed the bottle. So many people would be disappointed. But to hell with disappointment. I toast to freedom in a cage. And I drink, losing myself in silence once filled by melodies...
I am just a mean bitch. Seriously but I like it. So next chapter will reveal new plot twists which will continue to confuse you endlessly but whatevs. And finally, the next chapter will include a new clan that Blake will use called "Black Camelot" and I have decided to give you a card description. Also I will be starting the whole Limit break thing arc next.
Black knight reaper, Percival.

Percival, knight of the grail, has been twisted by hatred by those who bear the paladin namesake. Wielding his rapier, he searches for a way to destroy those who have turned their backs on a once great kingdom while forever bound to his king, searching for away to reawaken him and his two knights.
