Usually, urban legends myths and folklores are of things from a long forgotten past or extremely specific situations,
On the second ring however there has been a recent surge of urban legends within small pockets of society,
The first being the infamous Satan,
A man that singlehandedly made an allegiance of islands know as the Liberty States
‘disappear’ almost two decades ago,
Their inhabitants, military everything, wiped form the very map of the second ring, the official story was that the islands fell due to an attack from the first ring, but the name of Satan had already begun to circulate by then.
Then there is the messiah, only recently he has shown up and stared spreading his light to the islands across the ring, there is currently a heavy debate online as to if the Messiah is real or just a government ploy, regardless of that most people see him as the one to take out the illusive Satan….
But also, there is a third person apart of this modern mythos,
One that has been slowly making small, but impactful waves in her wake, She is the newest of the three, but already, in the Caribbean is looked at as a deity, They say wherever she flies it begins to snow, death soon follows after,
We call her the Snow Fairy.
…….
“She here–she here! Stand up nah man,
Alyuh cah be moving like that,”
Vwoosh!
Splash!
The waves crash two on fro onto the Cliffside of a certain island in the Caribbean,
Waiting on the cliff is a gathering people all armed to the teeth, even the jeeps parked at the base of the cliff are armed…
“I swear this is proof angel’s real dawg.” A man stares at an approaching figure off in the horizon
Gliding through the air on wings that can only be described as crystal-like yet soft, the figure creates such a spectacle to behold in early hours of the day,
The morning sunshine that beams though their wings create a faint rainbow of colors while tiny crystal dust particles fall from them, from afar gives a snow-like effect.
“Give me an update on all that has happened while I was away?” immediately asks the dainty figure as she lands on the cliff
“Well, we lost some of our men to the government over the possession of the Holy diver” A man named Zanzibar speaks up presumably one of the leaders
“Besides that, we managed to take back Trinity Dos without you but there were many casualties,”
“So, you made me fly all around this ring searching for that island the Holy diver was on, just to fumble it?” the woman sighs a breath of cold air
“You shoulda ask we from Neptune to help,” a deadheaded man inputs, receiving a nasty glance from the first man,
“Wam?
Doh look at me like dah,
Alyuh Poseidon’s had a chance and fumble bad,
Best we Neptune’s handle it,”
“Alyuh cah do shit, Jabari
Hush nah,” Zanzibar spats causing a argument to brew within the group
“Everybody silence!” the snowy woman commands
“Neither of you groups have anything left to be claiming sides so vehemently!”
“I don’t know what dat mean ma’m”
“……”
(“Why do I have to in charge of these people again”) thinks the snow fairy stressfully
“I don’t care about that Holy diver, I have on goal and that is to take out Satan,
I was under the impression that we shared the same goal?”
“We are ma’am” a female member of Neptune speaks up
“But even with your help we don’t have enough manpower to even get to Fuscina where the main bulk of his forces resides,”
“She right fairy, we need to be able to build our forces up to finally pack Satan up once and for all,” Jabari agrees
(“How long with that take though?”) thinks the snow fairy
“What do you propose we do then?”
“You hear d rumors of the Messiah?
I say we get him, with both of alyuh we will be able to Fuscina”
(“I really have to bring him into this?”)
“We have already been trying to get his attention miss fairy,”
“You are talking about what happened at Radiohead?”
“We were the ones who leaked the plans of ‘them’ going after the data in the first place” Zanzibar gloats
“And what of the prisoners on Trinity Uno that you got the information from in the first place?”
“After we got them to talk, Alexander came and silenced them,”
(“Another nuisance I have to deal with”)
“You know what,” the woman rubbing her forehead stressfully
“I’ve been briefed enough, come on”
The snow fairy spreads her majestic wings once more, preparing for aerial mobility
“Where we going ma’am?”
“Trinity Tres, I’m feeling like bashing some heads in today.”
………..

“Wait, this is Lyra?” I point at a glittering flying figure on the screen of a laptop
Nomn–Nomn
Apollo comes looking over my shoulder munching a shark burger ...
“Mhmm
That’s her,” he chaps annoyingly into my ear,
“What else do I need to be filled in on?” I push his face away
“Too close Apollo,”
“Mmm
She didn’t tell you her magic evolved?”
“She did, I think,”
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
(But wings like this?
What type of magic does she have now?)
“Not a day goes by where I don’t get more confused than the last”
“You weren’t that confused yesterday,” jokes Apollo,
“And you were just as loud and annoying last night as you are now” I instantly snap back
“Last night?
What happened last night?”
“If you don’t remember then I’m not going to say, ask your supervisor
Now shoo,
I have more things to look up,” turning back to the screen, it portrays a blurred image of the sparkling wings of someone the people of the Caribbean line have called the snow fairy,
Fittingly enough most of the information about her, or anything I am looking into for that matter is scarce or not present at all on the internet no matter how hard I look,
(Good thing I got this—)
“Or yeah about that laptop Kage,
You cant keep it for long,”
“Yeah, yeah I know this is Himari’s own and she may not want me to know this undisclosed information,” I groan annoyed by the fact Apollo is still breathing down my neck
(I portably could have gotten this information from the chairman given his interest in me, but I digress)
“Just be grateful I even swiped this for you, Himari usually has it with her, but I guess she’s been kind of disoriented today”
“I wonder why” I mutter back sarcastically
“You know you’ve been acting pretty sassy since Lyra dressed you up Kage,”
“……..”
Taking off my boot I toss at the young man, turning my attention back to the screen…
[/documents/case_flies/Satan]
(This is all the data Himari has on the Lyra’s brother?)
[Power: unclear, temperature manipulation?
Priority: Do not antagonize
Assessment: ‘MV’ continues its operations in secret, many police stations are either bought by, or operated directly by the organization,
Ever since the destruction of the liberty states, the government board has done their best to keep it everything hushed,
Strangely enough Satan has not made a move since, that event opting to do all his dealings within the Caribbean line
What his goal is we have yet to find out,]
[/documents/case_files/Snow_Fairy]
(Now what does she have on Lyra)
[Name: Lyra of Soterra
Power: Temperature manipulation? Specifically colder temperatures? –details unclear
Priority: ally?
Assessment: Given tieleium spinal implants in her back, Lyra of the third ring seems to have an outward disdain for our ring and technology in general, despite being saved by it,
She regularly flies to the Caribbean line where she knows her actions cannot be monitored by the government,
The residents of the Caribbean have started a myth of someone called the snow fairy, it is of
reasonable estimate to assume that person is indeed Lyra of Soterra. Her goal out of this is still no unknown—potential threat.]
(I know Lyra is going after her brother it seems like she hasn’t disclosed this to anyone barring Appllo)
“Are you done?” Apollo still there waiting impatiently
(No)
“Take it,” I sigh closing the machine
(Maybe I should just call that weird chairman again, even if he makes me feel uneasy, I can at least get some more information out of him)
………
*****
Uwahrghh!
Slam!
Grrrrrrttt!
Vwice!
That–huhh–that was the last of them” the snow–Lyra pants her body drenched in blood,
What once was Caicos, the capital of the island Trinity Tres, now a bloodied ravaged battlefield,
The moon light reflecting off of the many crystalline glaciers that protrude from beneath ground, bullet shells and bodies scattered about the surface
Truly a hellish sight…
“You think he gonna react to this boss lady?” Jabari the Neptune leader grimaces
“Not likely, I don’t think he cares about losing men, all we can do now is keep up the pressure until we to Fuscina,”
“Or you can quit now while he still does not care” an unknown voice speaks echoing from all directions,
A cold swirl of magic immediately begins to build beneath Lyra’s feet as she tenses up preparing to both attack and defend
“Enough games Alexander, show yourself!”
………
“Agent Himari thank you for your punctuality as usual”
“I try my best Chief Kiefer,”
“Good, now onto business,
You invited, Kage of the first ring to a social gathering yesterday, correct?”
“It wasn’t my intention to be unprofessional sir—”
“Nah, nah, don’t mistake my words Ms. Nara,
Well not my words, but that of my and your higher ups
They think that you have developed a friendly connection with Kage,”
“Well you can assure them that, that is not tru—"
“Will you let me finish Himari?” Kiefer cuts her off once more
“They have decided to put to put you together to monitor Kage on the next mission because of this”
“I’m sorry
What are you getting at chief Kiefer?”
“Theyy” Kiefer emphasizes on the word
“They think you are best suited to monitor Kage as they might be cautious of another agent,”
“What is the important mission that warrants this Chief?
“It something that has been the topic of a serious debate now but has finally been decided,
You will lead a group consisting of the two from the third ring and Kage, into the Caribbean and finally either detain or put down the man that calls himself Satan.
By doing so, we hope to bring an end to his operations
