Subject: CHAPTER 19: Dark Valiant | |||||
| CHAPTER 19 : Dark Valiant lying on the bed ..To find a way to manage here... ...To find thyself... stands up, opens the crate and takes one dusty book out By the words of my favorite writer: ''...to be a man, to have been born without knowing it or wanting it, to be thrown into the ocean of existence, to be obliged to swim, to exist; to have an identity; to resist the pressure and shocks from the outside and the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts - one's own and those of others - which so often exceed one's capacities? And what is more, to endure one's own thoughts about all this: in a word, to be human.'' closes the book Hm, seems easy  ...walks to the window ...To have an identity... I sometimes wonder if I have succeeded at this... Or am I just another average person, the one who doesn't stand out no matter what... ...To stand out... walks out from her mansion ...Hm... To stand out... goes off to City Center and stops by near Wall Of Fame Interesting how this town was built - who could ever get to the idea to put Wall Of Fame opposite of Jail House... Maybe there is some analogy there: one minute you're on top, next minute... looks at the names that are engraved on the Wall. Some of the names have been crossed out recently. There are lots of those who stand out... In finances, in battles... But, is this a proper way to stand out?! Are finances all that matter?! No memory remains about that. If you were really worth it, at least a memory would remain once you're gone... What kind of memory will... hears footsteps and looks around A young man dressed in black robe with wizard's staff which has large black diamond with lightning in it's core approaches - ''Yes, still on the top...'' - looks at his face, his black hair, his black eyes... Another mysterious one?! looks at the Wall Of Fame names, names... which name is on the top... - ''Try: Seshomaru.'' - goes numb when hearing that name... I've heard about him. He apparently made a big mess in Westlands lately. Uses his magic for evil, or so they say. ''I see...'' Strangely enough, even with the blackness - he doesn't appear that evil... - ''Excuse me, I have to go to Post Office, to check who sent me letters d'amour during my last killing spree in the Upper Ven. I'll return in few minutes... or hours...'' - Interesting. With the kind of reputation he has, I expected to be drawn into battle right here and right now... I guess people were just mad at him winning the battles. Their fear turned him into a legend. goes off to Town Square, where lot of people are standing in the crowd What now?! People are making a circle around Seshomaru, too afraid to come near, too angry to lose sight of him ''Finished at the Post Office?'' - he walks proudly through the crowd ''Seems so. Care to join me in Local Meeting?'' - ''I don't see why not.'' - he takes one look at the crowd ''Ah, I love when they tremble...'' - ''So, what is it they fear the most about you?'' - ''My sword and my magic. Especially my magic...'' his staff starts shining. He collects the nearest leaf that has fallen down from the Oak tree, and creates sapphire necklace out of it ''For you.'' he puts the necklace in her hands - WTF?!? I never received anything made from Sapphires before... from anyone... ''Wow..I... Thanks. But... why?'' - '' 'Cause I can .''Guardians approach ''Hm, seems I won't make it to Local Meeting after all. Time for my swift escape. Off to the Mystic Forest. See you later.'' he goes off in a puff of smoke - ''Where did he go?'' guardians asked - squeezes the necklace in her hands ''To buy a new boat for fishing.'' - ''Thanks for the information. It is good to know there are such loyal citizens in Westlands.'' - ''No problem.'' smiles Noobs... takes the necklace and puts it around her neck They haven't even noticed it... If they have payed more attention, they would have seen it, thus knowing I would lie to them. Seems like it's easy to trust someone who doesn't carry a sword nor fights in Upper Ven. Hm, what about respect then?!... heads off to the entrance of Mystic Forest Fear.. That is all they know about... hides behind the branch that's blocking the way He should appear any time now... few hours later ... something must be wrong! heads back to City Center A lot of people are standing in the Town Square, talking loudly; they all are gathered around one figure... Seshomaru passes through the crowd with handcuffs on his hands. Many guardians are keeping him from escaping away. ''What happened?'' - Old man : ''He got what he deserved, that's what happened.'' - Young girl : ''I heard he used magic to seduce people and distract them.'' - Old woman : ''He used magic for evil, my child!'' - Grumpy-looking guy : ''He IS evil.'' - ''No, he isn't.'' How can he be?! They all look at her like she is crazy How could he be?! . . . mid-night hour Seshomaru is locked up in City Jail, sitting in his cell and staring at the door He stands up ''Who's there?'' - ''Go to the window.'' - ''Alright.'' he approaches - ''What happened today?'' - ''They found me.'' - ''But how?! I lied to them.'' - ''Perhaps, but there were others who heard us talking.'' - ''I feel so...'' - ''Angry? Sad? Both?'' - ''All three. . . '' - ''Three?! Won't even dare to ask...'' - ''What will happen to you?'' - ''They will most probably try to kill me and erase my every trace. But the memory will remain...'' - ''You will never be a memory!'' - ''That's for me to know and for them to fight out.'' goes back to the rock bed ''Wait for the dawn. Everything will be alright. You'll see.'' - ''But they are guarding you like you are Feltash's top dirty secret!!!'' - he starts laughing ''And how did you end up here?'' - ''...Magic...'' - ''Exactly. Remember: they do fear my magic. And still are not aware of all the things I am able to do... Wait for the dawn.'' - walks away from the window ''Alright. Hope to see you again.'' - ''Oh, you will...'' She goes off with heavy thoughts on her mind. How to set him free... ''Now, lets see...'' he stands up ''If I put this here, and that there... Voila!'' the door opened ''Now, time to walk out in a style...'' looks back at the window ''Hm, silly girl, as if she doesn't know what I'm capable of doing...'' he escapes in the night |
