Chapter 16 – Cue, Q!

“Haaaa~h, how annoying.” A figure stood in front of the abandoned warehouse that was not truly abandoned, shaking his head in disbelief. The warehouse was surrounded by a great deal of corpses, a memento of Fortenra’s rage. The figure walked over the corpses with an expression of exasperation and exhaustion on his face, his eyes half-closed. Scratching his head, he stood in front of the door, apparently too lazy to open it with his hands. With a sigh, the man lifted his right leg a bit, and…

BLAM!

The door flew off his hinges, landing with a crash ten meters away. The man then stood there, just… standing. Perhaps he was thinking of the possible attacks that might come his way and was attempting to calculate the most efficient path. Perhaps he was analyzing the room in front of him and trying to find out what had happened inside. Or perhaps he was just too lazy to start walking forward.

The man’s vision blurred as he thought back to the incredibly complex series of events that had lead up to him being here…

Chapter 15 – Speed of Sound, Speed of Wind

“Aaaaahhhhh… how good it feels to be able to exist in this realm once more. The right to exist is a beautiful thing, is it not?” A being covered entirely in darkness, in shadows. A figure who, only a few minutes ago, had been known as Ismaru Windsoul. It looked down at the young man crumpled in front of it, battered, bruised and barely breathing, and chuckled menacingly. “Don’t tell me that you’ve already given up, my friend?”

“Uuuuuggggghhhhh….” Hirun struggled to bring himself up, but the weight of his wounds – whatever that meant – weighed too heavily on him. Plus, there was a foot on his back. A foot on the back often keeps a man from being able to get up, especially if it is applying pressure. Trying to expect someone with a foot applying pressure on his back to get up is very much like expecting an angry woman to stop being angry. Angry women are always angry. No one knows why. It is nature. It is a fact. It is a truth. It is as natural, factual and truthful as an angry woman.

Chapter 14 – My Love For You is Like a Truck

“TOOOAASSSTTTIIIIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“FOOORRRTTEEENNNRRRRAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!”

“TTTTOOOOAAAASSSSTTTTTIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!”

“FFFFOOOOORRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTEEEEENNNNRRRRAAAA!!!!!!”

“TTTTOOOOO-”

“FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHUT UP YOU GOD DAMN BRATS!” Toastie and Fortenra were rudely jolted from their shouting by an annoyed Q, who had grown tired of their constant screaming. His eyes narrowed – though not that anyone noticed, due to the mask over his face and his hair over the mask – and man picked up a chair and threw it at Fortenra with force.

Character Profile #Forterna Askasa

A young man beyond his years, Fortenra Askasa is a 16 year-old student of Sniperville Academy who works part-time as a waiter in a prestigious restaurant of Sniperville.

One could say that Fortenra is somewhat like an old man, as he tends to view the world with a type of melancholy, despairing at the futility of the world. He sighs a lot, will bitch on about things that don’t really matter, and will end most of his sentences with the phrase “… when I was your age.” Still, Fortenra isn’t all that boring; indeed, he can be highly sadistic, sarcastic and energetic when he wants. Problem is… he generally doesn’t. Except the sarcastic part. And the sadistic part. Highly collected and calm, Fortenra knows no fear for the most part.

Character Profile #Heart Shaped Toastie

An eccentric student of Sniperville Academy, Toastie is a 17 year-old aspiring rock star / actor / drama queen who manages to touch the lives of everyone she meets. Not necessarily in a good way, though. Her name is quite infamous, and some people choose to kill themselves upon meeting her, so that she cannot change their lives. Which is ironic, in a way. Since nothing changes one’s life like death.

Chapter 13 – That’s Not What I Heard

Gasping for breath, Aine and Fortenra ran through a long hallway at top speed. Their faces flushed like two teenagers who had just finished a hot and steamy makeout session – not that they had finished a makeout session or even started one, for that matter – the two of them continued to run.

“Hah… hah… Fortenra… are you sure… this is the right thing… to do?”

Unlike Aine, Fortenra did not show any signs of being tired. Smiling slightly, he attempted to ease Aine’s concerns. “Don’t worry, Aine. Just keep going forward. I’m sure Ismaru would have wanted this.”
