Fantasy Eternal Sunset

[CrystalFalls]

"What are you guys doing?!" Arcturus yelped, trying to dig his heels into the ground, but with no result. He looked back confusedly at the two girls dragging him away, sighing at his misfortune. Bellatrix followed, flying above his head.,

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

"Obliviously we are going to buy your stuff" Una said "but not in the street, that dangerous" Uma finished. Una looked at Uma


(the following is a eyeball conversation)


Now that were away we can dump this chump, eye spoke Una


No way were buying his stuff Uma replied


Why we have enough jewels at home to cover a room we literally have a jewel room where we throw the stuff, Una rolling her eyes


Were going to buy them with the cash we have from the port Uma exclaimed her eyes glaring.


"Fine" Una said "have it your way." Uma smiles "I will thank you" she turns to the boy they were half walking half dragging on the ground, "where would you like to do business?"

 

[CrystalFalls]

Arcturus shrugged. "Just wondering, did you guys just use me as a shield back there?" He raised at eyebrow at them, looking pointedly between the two girls and the armored girl he met earlier. He tapped his foot impatiently staring at the two colorful girls, waiting for an answer. Bellatrix settled on his head again and growled at the two girls and their pets.

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

Nai, the small cobra cat, hissed his forked tongue at the wolf, but Nya sat on him to calm Nai down. "Of course not" Uma replied smiling down at him, "at least not physically" Una smiled meanly. "Shut up Una" Uma hissed, "come over here and make me sis" Una sticks her tongue out.


Uma turns to the boy "yes we did, but we do intend to pay you, it's the least we can do" she smiles apologetically.

 

[CrystalFalls]

"...I really don't need charity." Arcturus replied, irritated. "If you two are here, doesn't that mean you guys have an appointment with a trader or someone?" he asked, staring at the two energetic girls. He didn't mind outsiders as much, since he had traveled with his parents when he was young. He rubbed the wolf settled on his head pacifyingly, while the other hand was holding onto the basket of sapphires he'd found. The gems wouldn't be worth to much, since there was bits of aquamarine speckled though some of the gems. He would keep those for himself until he found a use for them.

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

"Not exactly,"Uma says scratching her head. She didn't want to tell this boy that she was psychically inclined to come here, and she especially didn't want to tell her sister. "Well... Its more like we have a appointment with destiny" Una says, score no need to pay the dude more cash for moi she thought.

 

[CrystalFalls]

Arcturus stared at them. "Of course. You guys can go on with the appointment of destiny of yours." Definitely crazy. Seriously, that could easily be the lamest excuse he's ever heard. He turned around, heading towards one of the trading stations. "Good luck with your appointment!" he called back, albeit a bit sarcastically.

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

"Ah! Wait" Uma said but he was already gone. Was gonna pay him. Uma punches Una "Why did you say that, you know it sounds crazy" Uma frowns. She hates bringing up destiny or prophecy with people, they just don't believe. "Hey telling the truth is important" Una said grinning. "You just didn't want to pay him the 4000 Ghaiz" Uma glared at Una. Una shrugged "Cash is cash." Uma rolled her eyes "lets go" she said as the four walked onward.

 

[CrystalFalls]

Arcturus rolled his eyes as the trader tried to cheat him on the sapphires. As if the child of a trader doesn't keep up with the current market prices. After haggling with the merchant, he headed towards the restuarants. Asking for take out, he proceeded to head back towards his cave, hoping no one had triggered the traps.

The two didn't wear fancy clothing to draw crowds, but they made up for it with their performance. Cylin, who wore but a simple white dress with leggings under and thin black sneakers, began this simple performance by grabbing five small balls from the bag that Caine had packed earlier. She tossed the balls one by one to Aiji, who juggled them between her tail and nose. After a few rotations, he passed them back to Cylin and the two jumbled the balls between them. It was a simple trick for them, but it did draw a crowd.


Just as a small group of people gathered around the performers, Caine finished stretching. Shiki let out a low growl before standing up on all fours. Caine stood closest to the crowd and Shiki right behind him. The two were facing sideways and at a seemingly random time, they both flipped backwards repeatedly in perfect unison. This was enough to fill their bag with enough money to buy food.

 

[BloodThunder27]

After a half an hour of resting, Ashley got up and decided to continue towards Dimtorlix. Before then, Ashley stopped by the General Store to buy some food for the Road. Upon leaving Matral, she continued her walk to the vibrant city, which was indeed full of talent. Perhaps one day, she might move there, but she did prefer the quiet life she had in Wernod. Upon entering the city, she saw two youths performing in front of a large crowd with what seemed to be their pet wolf...That had light blue fur from where she saw him. She then walked over to see what the two talented youngsters were doing. It seemed that street performers were common in Dimitorlix. All Ashley was herself was a Nurse who cared for others, but hasn't been able to do so very much for obvious reasons. 'Wonder how much street performers as talented as them make on a weekly basis.' she wondered. Her thoughts then turned to her vivid dreams and nightmares and although she tried to brush it off, she couldn't help it. But they went away after a few minutes.

 

[Yun]

After a short performance and a few more tips, the two siblings ended their performance with a bow. The crowd dispersed and Caine gathered their things, praising Shiki and the other two as well with simple hair ruffling. Caine unbuttoned the top 2 buttons on his white dress shirt before standing and waiting. Cylin hurriedly ran to her brother, putting the props from before into the bag that held the money. With a big smile on her face, she looked around for something to do to kill time, her eyes catching onto a very beautiful, young woman who was watching their act.


Just as Caine was about to head to the store to buy food, Cylin ran off to get the woman who had caught her eye. Though it didn't exactly surprise him, Caine wondered how she still had so much energy after performing. Since he didn't have fun while doing acts, he found it Tiring and boring, but it was the only way to make money with out having to interact directly with people.


Aiji trotted after his master while Shiki remained beside Caine. Cylin, now in front of the girl, excitedly smiled, examining the woman closely. "Hey, you're really beautiful ! What's your name?" Cylin blurted.

 

[BloodThunder27]

When Cylin ran up to her, Ashley would look over at her. Out of motherly instinct, she placed her hand over her stomach. "Thank you...Its not often I hear that." she replied when the girl blurted out on her appearance. "My name's Ashley, a pleasure to meet you. Its not often I meet new people." She smiled a bit as she noticed how Cylin was energetic and outgoing. Although Ashley herself was open with others, she has refrained from interacting with others following her husband's untimely demise. She then ran her fingers down her hair to straighten it out when the wind started blowing. "I watched your performance. You're very talented." she smiled as she complemented the young woman.

 

[Yun]

Cylin ley out a cheeky smile as she was complimented. "Thank you very much, though I'm nothing special. Aiji is the main one juggling. Caine and Shiki are the talented ones," she said, gesturing towards Aiji beside her and the approaching man and white Tiger. "Ah... I forgot. I'm Cylin. It's a pleasure to meet you." Instinctively, Cylin's hand moved to the white fox's head, petting him gently.


Caine stood beside Cylin, silently examining the woman.He noticed she held her hand over her stomach, most likely meaning she was pregnant. Honestly, it was his first time seeing a pregnant woman up close. His face was blank as he stared inconspicuously at her stomach.

When Caine came by, Ashley quickly noticed him and their pet white fox. "And he must be your brother." At first she thought that Caine was Cylin's boyfriend, but she noticed a few similarities between them, so they were either siblings or cousins, but her first guest was siblings. "You both have a lot of potential. So does your...Family pet." This was Ashley's first time seeing a Fox as a pet. Most people had Cats or Dogs, sometimes Snakes, Fish and Birds amongst other animals. Ashley could have been a Professional Archer, but gave that up to become a Nurse.

"Yes!" Cylin replied happily. "He's the best brother in the world. Except for when he's angry. Then he's just plain reckless, " she said, poking his cheek as he simply let it be. Aiji and Shiki sniffed Ashley before sitting beside their masters. Aiji's long, fluffy tail whipped back and forth, the fur brushing against Cylin's leg. "It's a bit odd for us to have such beast-like pets, right? Even so, we get along well," she said as Shiki nuzzled his head against Caine's leg, in which he responded by petting him. "And you? Pets, siblings?"

"I don't have any pets. I haven't seen my Family in a while either because I eloped and ran away from home when I was your age." Ashley did not know what happened to her Family, because she hasn't seen them in three years. Could they be alive and well living in Bycormaz? She couldn't tell for sure. Perhaps she'd go back to them after she has her daughter? Well, that was about two months away. "I was going to start a Family of my own, but my husband died four months ago. So now I'm just a single mom...Or at least, I'm going to be." Although she did look like she was from around Dimtorlix because of the way she was dressed, she did take about a five hour long walk all the way from Wernod. She was now considering on moving there, but thought she should wait until after her daughter was born. "All I have to keep me company is flowers, crops and little critters from the forest." She revealed that she wasn't from around their area and was quite a ways away.

 

[CloudKitteh]

Indi blinked at the two who had dragged the poor boy away. I'll deal with them later, she thought.

 

[Yun]

Cylin and Caine listened as Ashley spoke, taking the hint that she wasn't from Dimtorlix. Caine shifted around silently, waiting for his sister to finish chatting. The two had plans to get something to eat after their performance, which meant they hadn't eaten all day. Caine was obviously hungry and tugged on Cylin's long hair, notifying her to hurry. Cylin took note of her brother and turned to Ashley. "Our must have been hard. Uhh.... My brother and I are about to get something to eat. Care to join?" She said, not wanting to stop talking to her yet.

"Um sure...I don't plan on going back home until nightfall. I just wanted see how vibrant this city is at night before I leave. But...I already ate, though I don't mind keeping you two and your pets company." Ashley took up Cylin's offer. After all, it was better to have company then wondering the city alone. 'So cute, those two.' she thought. 'Perhaps when she grows up, my little girl will be just as beautiful and talented as her.' She took note that Cylin had an interest in her, but was unsure why. At the same time, she did want to get to know them because it was probably time for her to get out of her shell, despite the fact she is still mourning and reeling from her husband's death.

 

[Yun]

Caine glanced between the two girls before turning to Shiki with a shrug. He began to walk first, followed by his pet at his side.Cylin turned, ready to walk yet waiting for the woman to come along. "That's no good to just have you come along when you already ate. Erm.. You seemed to have came by yourself, so we'll be the one keeping to company, " Cylin said joyfully to her. Aiji waited as well beside Cylin, his tail still waving gracefully.

Ashley gracefully followed them. Because she didn't want to seem awkward in front of the two, she refrained from talking to her unborn daughter, despite her kicking. For a few minutes, all she could think about was the nightmares she had a few hours ago.

 

[Yun]

Caine swept the hair from his face just enough to reveal his previously covered left eye. He glanced around, searching for a butcher shop, since Shiki preferred eating raw meat rather than pet food. Cylin turned to Ashley once again with a small smile on her face. "So, did you come here just to sight see?"

"No, figured I'd just get out of town for a little bit. Have a little vacation before my daughter is born." She answered. She even thought about bring a pet home, but what animal should she bring home? A Puppy? A Kitten, maybe? Or maybe even a Wolf Pup. However, she wanted an animal that wouldn't be dangerous to her and her baby, so that left venomous animals, such as spiders and snakes out of the question.

 

[Dandelion Fluff]

The sunlight crept in through Deosishka's window, lighting the edge of his bed and his rabbit's fur. His body was awake, sitting at the small metallic table for two drinking tea, but his mind was somewhere else, drifting off into a daydream about nothing. Today seemed like the usual day for Ish; he'd walk downtown to his bookstore, open it, wait for customers to come. Of course, nobody would, and he'd close up shop for the day, go home, knit or sew for a while, and go to sleep without any questions or dinner.


But when he left the realm of his mind, he felt something strange. It was as if something different would interfere with his usual routine, whether minor or major. Ish looked at the clock. It was 7:00 AM, an hour before the time he normally would open shop. He had enough time to do nearly whatever he wanted. He tiptoed over to his bed, and lifted his pet from the quilt.


"Come on, Sven... let's go for a walk."
