Fantasy Lakoria High School

[PhoenixFire13]

(@metalcity Ahahahaha... surprisingly that didn't seem too gory when I visualized it in my head but wow, impressive description! And she's the principal, not the teacher)


The principal was silent as she passed her hand over the orb again, making the images fade away. She leaned her forehand onto her clasped hands and rocked back and forth in her chain before exhaling in a long breath.


"I cannot tell you what I don't know. As of know, I know only as much as you do from seeing that vision. This 'justice' they speak of, however, I'm afraid we will find out soon in the future."


She passed her hand over the orb again and the image of a large winged devil in the middle of a burning village was shown on the glass surface. The devil was holding the severed head of a woman in one hand and was walking causally toward a crying infant buried in debris. He looked down at the infant with a dark smile, showing his sharp teeth. He lifted his other hand and brought it down, through the infant's chest, pulling out its tiny beating heart. The infant screamed once, and fell silent. The devil threw the head away and ripped the infant into halves, throwing the corpse behind him like it was trash. An ugly laughter rang throughout the silent village. The image began to fade but the sound remained, seeming to echo around them rather than within the orb.


"A few years earlier, this was the image that the crystal ball showed me. A red devil who called himself the master of the universe appeared and led the entire world to utter chaos. All the countries in the entire world united to fight against this monster, but they stood no chance with their cannons and explosives. A hydrogen bomb was dropped once as a last resort but not a single scratch was dealt. At this point, humans and creatures alike began to view the devil as the end of the world. Those who wanted power sided with the devil, exchanging their souls for a rebirth as a demon. Those were the foolish ones that lost meaningless lives..."


She paused for a while to calm her beating heart. She had been to such a future before and the horrors of it left her filled with fear and dread at the memory.


"But not all hope was lost." She looked up at Enki with a small smile full of awe. "There were rumors of a legendary group that had appeared out of nowhere, striking down pieces of the devil's forces at a frightening speed. Every monster the devil sent to destroy these heroes were one-by-one destroyed themselves. Those who had lost the will to fight began to be inspired by these heroes to once again raise their weapons and charge into battle against the devil. The people began to call these heroes, Akuta, the ones who fight evil. And you, will become one of them."


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


On the bed, Shina was pretending to be asleep still. She had been woken up by Enki's outburst but couldn't find a chance to be noticed without interrupting the conversation the two were having. She laid there in shock as her brain struggled to understand what she had just heard. She struggled to see the images on the crystal ball without being found out. But when she finally managed a glance at the ball, she was unable to peel her eyes away at the figure in the midst of the destruction.


It was her worse nightmare. The very devil she had sent back into the Underworld was now laughing at her through the glassy surface. His eyes seemed to bore into her, as if he was taunting her about her futile attempt to destroy him.





I will be back! And when I return, you will be the first to die by my hands, little girl!





Biting her lips to stop the scream bubbling up from her throat, she ripped her eyes away from the images. The cold laughter of the devil swam around her, causing her to break out in cold sweat. She closed her eyes and tried to erase the images from her head, but with no such luck.

Enki still listened to the principal's tale, the news of true justice showed up delighted him. Then the news of him being on of these hero's shocked him. "I can't be one. I am sorry. But every one I come close to dies. The people in that vision probably died because of me." Enki looked over at Shina, a tear ran down his face again. His voice grow in anger and his hands turned into fists, he clenched them and drew a bit of blood that ran down his tingers "I even killed her, just for her to come back to rub it in my face that am to weak, and I will always be weak. I cant even defeat one fucking vampire with out dying my self. I will never be able to protect her, she will die again. But that is why I stay with her. To make sure that she wont die again. I will risk my life for her next time. I believe I wouldn't even be able to see her smile with out being guilty." He looked back at the principal. "If I join this little club I wont be doing anything except evening out my sins. That wont help anything." Enki looked at the principal with hope in his eyes. He needed to be strong, so he can protect everyone. no matter how risky it is he had to protect everyone even if it costs him his life. He believed that he was better dead at this point.

The principal shook her head.


"No, you will become strong, much stronger. The guilt you hold now will only prove to be a stepping stone for you to reach your true potential. I have foreseen the future of this world. With my own eyes, with my own voice, I have seen and talked to the future you. When the time comes, you will stand with your friends and battle the world's worse catastrophe."


She got up from her seat and walked to the window, gazing out at the scene before her.


"However, if you should choose, ten years from now, to yield to the devil's powers instead of fighting against him, I can't say for certain that that future does not exist as well. In the end, the choice still comes down to you." She glanced down momentarily, smiling at the students hiding below. "And your generation."





(I feel like I'm running out of ideas on what the principal should say so imma retire for today. Good night. Gonna give you guys time to catch up to the reading too)

After having cleaned his suit, Ja'Zi walked back outside to explore the nightlife. Walking into one of the small nightclubs (If there are any) would be ideal. No one would pay attention to his clunky suit, he could blend in... Almost.


On the way to the club, he could see someone peering into a window of a random building. Not being able to make it out, and not able to care enough, he walked on.


Finally he reached the club. It was much smaller than expected, even for one located on highschool grounds. Nevertheless he walked in after paying a small entrance fee.


He looked around at all the dancers, patrons, and guests, imagining himself in their position. Instead of joining, he sat down, closed his eyes, and tried to meld himself with the booming music.

 

[metalcity]

"But tell me this, did we win the fight." Enki's eyes showed hatred "I don't deserve friends, I might as well die. Every one I talk to does. Why is it not me." Enki stood up as he said this he swatted his hand in front of him to try comfit himself. "Thank you for your time. Look after Shina well." As he started to walk around the chair he was sitting on he looked at Shina. He noticed something wasn't right with her, he was at the perfect angle to notice her face. He flicked a small purple flame onto her, small enough that the principal hopefully wouldn't notice. As Enki left the room he thought to Shina


Why do you consider me a friend? You saw my journal, you know the amount of people I have killed. One with my own hands. Even you, why do you like me? His thought was empty and lonely.


@PhoenixFire13 (helped you with your principal problem)

 

[PhoenixFire13]

(@metalcity Ah thanks, still gonna make this my last post though cause HW load OTL)


(But wow, rude. Students don't walk out of the room when the principal isn't done talking to them. Don't do that in real life please lol)


The principal watched the boy leave with the feeling of a heavy weight in her stomach.


He does not know it now, but he will mature as he encounters obstacles in his path. He will grow at a frightening rate. As will all the students at this school left in my hands by the previous principal.





Then she began to sort the papers on her desk, returning to her paperwork as if the conversation had never happened. Despite doing so and acting nothing out of the ordinary, she opened her mouth to speak.


"I know you're awake, Miss Shina."


Shina stirred as the principal said her name.


"Um ... sorry about eavesdropping on your conversation ..."


"No worries, it was something I wanted you to hear as well. I expect you know why?"


"I think so..." Shina looked down at the bed as she said this, "I'm also one of the Akuta, aren't I?" For some reason, she felt a sense of guilt brush past her heart as she said the word out loud.


"Yes," the principal looked at her with a kind smile, "But that is another story to tell for another time. There seems to be some students looking for you outside, will you go meet them?"


"Perhaps." Shina flapped her wings and flew to the doorway, pausing before she crossed through. "Thank you for the hospitality, Ms. Aiona. But if I may say this, I have no desire to fight the devil a second time. Not if it will cause pain to those around me." The door closed behind her (don't ask me how a bird closes a door but um, pretend it's an automatic door 8D).


That girl too, will grow to be a strong woman. Until then, they have much to learn and experience.





The principal returned to her paperwork.


As Shina flies aimlessly around the school, unsure about Enki had gone, she communicated to him through her thoughts.


You're not the only one who has killed before. I don't judge people by their past because I know how much it hurts to talk about what you went through at a young age. I went through a horrible childhood after my parents' death as well. You were the first person I was able to empathize with. I just don't want you to stay unhappy and full of guilt at something that wasn't your fault. You think you're weak but I think you're really strong to be able to survive that kind of childhood. I guess what I'm trying to say is ... I'm your friend because sometimes I need someone to talk to with my troubles, someone who actually understands who I am, no matter what I am. And in turn, I can listen to you talk about your past, your failures, everything bad about you, and still accept you as a friend. I ... didn't say too much did I?





@metalcity

 

[metalcity]

As Shina thought this Enki's mind flooded with thoughts. A tear ran down his face that she considers him a friend, as many more thoughts went through his mind one stood out that said She can do better off with out me. The thought was gloomy enough but Enki had a new thought that pieced his mind and most likely hers, he instantly regret it. Where you responsible for your parents death.


Images of the school burning played through his head, images of each and every child played through his head These children are all dead because I am alive, they had bright futures. One wanted to be a doctor, save peoples lives. One wanted to be a scientist and solve all illnesses. One wanted to help dying third world country's. They all died because I made it out of that church and I killed that man. Images of Enki's master played through his head, then the scene where he brutally beated him to death This is fine? You want to be friends with this monster, Just to cheer your self up? Every one dies and it is my fault, even you.


Then a voice tried to scream out, it fought through the thoughts of death and suffering until it reached Shina's mind, Enki unknowingly thought it, it was a small Enki, child Enki. He was playing and it was so peaceful, he was happily playing. The twist was, no one was there, only Enki. He was in a play ground, all by himself playing on all the swing sets and slides. It was the happiest Enki was, all by himself. but something was still off, he was smiling and laughing. But tears still fell from his eyes, and his smile quivered. He was still sad even in his happiest memory.


@PhoenixFire13


(I changed the ending as I thought about it and well frankly...I thought it was shit xD so I changed it)

 

[GingerBread]

Nyx pulled himself up through the window into the principal's office "So he's going to save the world? i don't believe that, considering i'm going to kill him soon" Nyx said, annoyed at the fact that the principal thinks someone as weak as Enki would be able to save the world


@PhoenixFire13

 

[Mango]

(Wow, all this talk a out saving the world, really makes your character seem small. D: )


Emma sighed. None of her classes were interesting. English? Boring. Geography? Also boring. Math? Tear-inducing. She skipped every single one of her classes, and decided to claim some remote patch of campus as her relaxing grounds. She used potions to turn the trees into giant cedars bearing chalk pieces, glass bottles, and live toads, and made the bushes into orange-bearing mini-plants. In a bored state, she slowly drew the words, "Emma's Little Corner" on one of the trees. Man. My life sucks, she thought. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a student climbing through a window. Ooh! Exciting! Her thoughts quickly turned to the boy, like a dog to a quirrel. She shot out towards the building. As soon as she got there, she stopped, took a deep breath, and jumped, slowly climbing onto the windowsill after the boy.


(@GingerBread Please forgive me, I couldn't think of anything else.)

 

[OceanBunny]

Willow sat on the window with tears sliding down her cheeks. The visions in the ball had been terrifying and devastating. She looked up as Enki left and then Nyx climbed through the window. She sighed as he proclaimed his intent to kill Enki, before flying back to Miyuki. 'What's wrong Willow?' Miyu's voice filled her head with worry at the sight of the tears on her cheeks. 'The future is full of pain and fire.' Willow replied with a sad smile as she shifted back to human size. 'We should try to find Enki before Nyx does.. Come on Miyu.' Wilow headed into the building to search for Enki with Miyuki following close behind. 'Isnt Enki that boy who fought the spider? the one that dislikes you?' Miyuki asked, confused on why her owner wanted to find the boy. 'Yes Miyu.. Enki's only met me twice before that.. In the virtual fight when I tried to heal him rthen let Nyx kill him and when i gave Shina those unicorn tears.. I think he only remembers my letting Nyx take him out..' Willow explained to her leopard sadly. 'I dont want Nyx to kill him here though.. So we have to find him before Nyx.. The principle also said he could help prevent the world from burning..' Willow walked through the halls scanning the other students for Enki.

After having finished his classes for the day, Ja'Zi headed back to his dorm. He took out a small pendant and began reciting something... A chant. After a few minutes of this, seeing no one was around, he took off his hazmat suit. The only time he really was allowed to remove it was when he was in his home back at the badlands. But now, he didn't really seem to care, as long as no one was contaminated... Nor saw what was underneath.


He sighed and laid down, wincing at the feel of the soft bed against his even softer scales. Eventually he found a comfortable position and went to sleep.


(Just chilling...)

 

[LegenDarius]

After the scene of the whole fight, Corvus unsummoned his gun and silver bullets as he didn't need them anymore. The bell rang, and Corvus smiled at Mr. Perkisas before wrapping up and taking his flash drive with him. The rest of the day went by smoothly, a nice change in the way things usually happened at Lakoria. On his lunch period, he was just sitting at one of the table enjoying Arizona when he spotted a familiar fairy girl. As he looked at her, their eyes met at an awkward stare.


@OceanBunny

 

[OceanBunny]

When her eyes met Corvus' Willow blushed lightly in embarrassment and dropped her gaze to the floor. looking back up she waved awkwardly at him, wondering if she should go say hi or not. 'He's the one the spider was trying to eat, I met him in the game too.. I think he likes me less.. I actually fought him..' Willow sighs, petting Miyu's ears lightly. 'That boy had the dragon familiar with him right?' Miyuki asked, trying to get all the new people straight in her mind. 'Yes, I believe Enki said he gave that stone back to him, the one the familiar disappeared into... Maybe i should chec to make sure he actually got it.' Willow sighed and headed towards Corvus with a small smile. "Hello, is your familiar okay? I gave that gemstone to Enki after the fight.. He said he'd give it to you.." She said when she got close enough for him to hear her.


@LegenDarius

 

[LegenDarius]

Corvus felt a pang of pain shoot through his heart like jolt of electricity when Az was mentioned. In anguish he pulled out the broken gemstone and showed it to the forest fairy. "His name was Azilernyo... He's dead now," Corvus said, looking at her with discouraged eyes. Shaking his head from his momentary lapse, he straightened up and said to her, "Thanks for helping me back there. I don't believe I ever got your name. My name's Corvus; what's yours?" It surprised him how friendly he was to her now. Perhaps his sudden sadness over his lost familiar, no, friend had drowned away the burning anger he once had for her.


@OceanBunny

 

[OceanBunny]

"I'm sorry." Willow said, sad at the news of the familiars death. She stroked Miyuki's head absently, knowing she'd be devastated if she ever lost her friend. "My names Willow, this is Miyuki." She said, indicating the frost leopard at her side. "It's nice to meet you Corvus.. Outside of a fight that is.." She said with a small smile, offering him her hand.

(Btw, this is just a random classroom)


After watching the images that had appeared in her head, Shina wanted to share one of her memories with him as well but was interrupted when a flask flew out of a classroom and smashed into pieces. She flew over to the classroom and peeked inside the room to see a delinquent in his monster form, throwing a big tantrum. The teacher was trying to calm him down but was hit by a chair and passed out. The rest of the students were either hiding under their desks or minding their own business, chatting with their friends and copying homework from each other.


Sorry, Enki. I have work to do. But ... I want to say a few more words. That memory you showed me just now, it proves that you can still change. You don't have to be stuck blaming yourself for being weak and thinking that you were the one that killed the ones around you. I don't know about those kids but I know that I died for a reason I chose myself, not because I knew you. If you still want to feel guilty about being weak, then become stronger. Maybe one day, you'll end up saving my life.





Shina ended her connection with Enki and flew into the classroom and landed on the teacher's desk, glaring at the students.


Time to whip some students into shape.





Ten minutes later, Shina flew out of the classroom without a single scratch on her. On the other hand, a pile of slightly burnt students laid behind her in the middle of the classroom.

[PhoenixFire13]

The principal's smile was hidden by her hair as she continued to move her hand, filling out the papers at a casual speed.


"You can try, Mr. Vampire. Maybe you will, maybe you won't. As I have explained, there could be a parallel world out there in which you do kill the boy. But there is also one in which you lose. Don't make rash decisions at such a young age."


She stood up and organized her finished papers, placing them into a folder. She walked over to her shelf and pushed the folder into an open space before turning to look at the boy.


"Eavesdropping isn't a good habit, Nyx. But I'll let it go this time. Why don't you return to your classroom, I'm willing to bet that you're skipping a vital lesson that could prove to be useful in the future."


@GingerBread

 

[metalcity]

What thought? Enki was confused by what she meant, he thought about it but nothing. She still believes in me even after everything? Why? What thought? Enki was confused. He started to make his was to the canteen, he kept rubbing his eyes as he was still teared up after everything that happened. Once he reached the canteen he went to get some food but he saw two faces before he did so.


@OceanBunny @LegenDarius

 

[GingerBread]

"No, there is no parallel world where Enki lives, because him dying is not a choice, it is a constant across all universes" Nyx said glaring at The principal, looking ready to attack as he slowly moved his hands towards his Daggers.


@PhoenixFire13

 

[LegenDarius]

"Nice meeting you Willow," Corvus said before shaking her hand. He looked back at his gemstone and stroked it gently. "I get a funny feeling from it though. It's as if he's going to come back somehow..." He stared at it, his voice trailing off. "I just hope so."


@OceanBunny @DragonStorm

 

[OceanBunny]

"I hope he does come back." Willow told Corvus with a hopeful smile. Spotting Enki, headed for the food, her eyes lit up. "Enki!!" She called out, waving at him. 'Looks like Nyx hasn't found him yet.' She told Miyuki, relieved to see him. 'Your vampire friend seems to enjoy trying to hurt people.' Miyu replied sadly.


@LegenDarius @metalcity

 

[metalcity]

As Enki approached his soon to be bacon sandwich, his mouth started to salivate. His eyes where attached as he picked it up he heard Willow call out to him. He lifted his hand and gave a slight wave. He brought the food and made his way to the table. "Hello, how are you today?" Enki asked trying to not be emotional around people he isn't sure about, his eyes still glistened a bit with the remnants of a tear. He noticed the elf boy looked healthier "You look better, how are you today..." As Enki said this he remembered the face being even more recognisable "Hey didn't I meet you on my first day, sorry I cant remember your name." Enki said peacefully, a bit to peaceful.


@OceanBunny @LegenDarius

 

[LegenDarius]

Corvus smiled as the tired looking boy introduced himself, clasping his drink. "My name is Corvus. Thanks for helping me yesterday. What's yours?"


@metalcity @OceanBunny

 

[OceanBunny]

"I'm okay." Willow says with a smile. "Um I caught Nyx at the window when you were talking to the principal.." She said nervously. "After you left he said he was going to kill you.." She looked down at her lap, fidgeting with her skirt. "I wanted to warn you.." She glanced back up at him as she finished speaking.


@LegenDarius @metalcity

 

[WoodenZebra]

Starino got to the lunchroom, and sat down at a table by herself taking out a book
