rubbing his eye Tyrone let out a yawn as he descends the stairs to his trash filled living room, paying no mind to it he made his way to the kitchen. opening the fridge he grabbed one of the containers sam dropped off a few days back reading the reheating instructions on it. following the instructions because sam would somehow know and while sam wouldn't say anything he takes pride in his cooking and not following the directions so you could enjoy its full taste upset him, not that you would know unless you could read sam's hidden micro expressions.
just before Tyrone could dig in the doorbell rung and his heart rate jumped, with a shaky hand he placed the food down and grabbed a butcher knife from the knife holder. slowly creeping up to the front door Tyrone activated its peephole. 'its just sam' he thought in relief when he saw the raven through the door. tossing the knife behind some trash and doing his breathing exercises Tyrone opened the door instantly getting a package shoved in his arms.
looking at the package he couldn't tell what was in it so he looked at Sam who was just wearing a slightly guilty look, "its apology gift for not making time to properly checking up on you plus a bit of bribery because I need a favor of the technological kind". Tyrone nodded before stepping aside to let sam in.
walking inside sam headed to the kitchen to grab the cleaning sphere as he talked about the treats in the younger teen's arms."...and all the treats have been dipped in a potion of satisfaction using up half a batch the rest is in a bottle in the center.'
"potions of satisfaction?"
sam paused in programing the rune tech, "MHH it's a pretty simple position with great effects but not used often because it can be addicting if one's not careful, which won't be a problem with your lifestyle, anyway the effects consist of giving the body all the nutrition it needs for 3 to 12 hours depending on how active you are." turning on the sphere sam tossed in the air where it got to work cleaning up the house. taking a peek at he smiled seeing Tyrone with a cookie already in his mouth.
covering his mouth to hide his laughter sam took the treats away from the younger mail and put them up in the pantry just before he informed him of another side effect of the potion," my stomach could shrink"
"The stomach stretches when you fill it often and shrinks when you do the opposites why do you think I refuse to let you live off smoothies and similar forms of nutrition, have your stomach shirk is a pain let me tell you." Tyrone nodded he could tell that sam was peaking from experience.
finishing off his cookie "so what the favor you want?" Tyrone asked.
"I need to make a website, I'm wondering if you know how, "Tyrone nodded telling sam that he did know. "that great I need to learn for a little project of mine!" the younger male felt the temptation to ask but he saw that smile on sam's face and knew he wouldn't get an answer at least not a straight or real one.
heading upstairs with sam following the two of them entered Tyron's room where the younger male took a seat at his computers. "okay so the simplest way to make a web site is by . . ." as he began to talk sam remember something, 'isn't this boys perception of easy and hard vastly different from the ordinary persons nut I can't really talk seeing as I'm the same" as he listened to Tyrone speak sam couldn't help but wish that he could raise his mental state to keep up with the other teen but he wasn't ready for that.
Tyrone spent hours explaining and sam tried his best to keep up but he quickly got lost in the waves of information. when Tyrone was done he noticed the concealed lost look sam had which confused him for several reasons, "did I do something?"
"what no! this is just much more complicated then I expected!" sam quickly told him before any guilt could form in the boy's mind. cocking his head Tyrone asked, "what did you expect?"
"that this might take months, now this might take more then a year maybe more if I get too busy" sam's thoughts were racing to rearrange his half plans." what if I help?!-" sam train of thought stopped as he turns back to Tyrone,"-with making the website your busy right I can make it for you if you like!?"
that was a great idea and it said something about sam that it didn't cross his mind and he chooses not to think about that at the time."I'm making a summoning site, do you know what that is, "they were by no means a common thing nor were they advertised. Tyrone's brows creased in thought before he shook his head no, "you know there are beings that live on different planes or dimensions" Tyrone nodded to this," sometimes the only way these creatures can come to are plane if they are called or summoned."
"don't think summoning is easy, to call something you need to know things about it or you'll end up in a very bad situation. this is what a summoning site is for it provides the information need to summon certain beings safely. I plan to make a site like that!"
"so what going to be summoned," Tyrone asked after a moment of silence.
"nothing appropriate for anyone under 18, now for the record you should be careful making deals with a different plane being or you'll end up in the situation like I'm in right now"not a complete lie or a lie at all depending on how you look at it.

"Okay I'll have to do some research but it seems simple eno-" he stopped speaking there noticing the narrowing of sam's eyes. never assume that something will be simple and a challenge will not surprise you Tyrone can't tell you the number of times Sam has told him this.clearing his thought he asked sam if he knew any summoning site and the older teen began to list off about a dozen sites each with a warning not to try and summon something from them.
after that, the topic change to small talk about food and recent events they glimpsed from the little news they watched. after talking for almost two hours sam return to his own house where he quickly showers and climbs into bed decided to sleep this night prepared for the nightmare to come.
~he was dancing on in blood, he was alone, he felt free as he danced he felt alive, nothing could hold him as he danced~
~he didn't care for the blood or the scream, he didn't care that he knew them or not, he just wanted to dance forever~
~he didn't know how long he danced before his limbs became too heavy, his stomach became to loud, his throat became to dry~
~satificing his body he began to dance again ignoring the pools of red beneath him, ignoring the sents in the air, ignore the shaking of the earth, ignoring the passage of time he just wanted to dance FoVeR~
shooting out of his bed sam raced to the bathroom where just in time for him to drive heave into the sink 'fuck I haven't had that dream in a long time,' slowly sam brought himself to the present away from the dance, away from that time where his fate changed.
'my lord would you like to talk about it,' the helper asked as their master breathing returned to a manageable level,' it one of the best ways to deal with fear and stress'
sam said nothing as he sat on the ground, "stress maybe but fear no, that dream never scares me" the fear was for something else. taking a deep breath 'it's not like they can tell anyone," it an old memory from when I was young detail have faded not there was much, to begin with, it was when my life began and I left behind my-"
--------------
"it time like this I wish my body wasn't immune to caffeine" after talking to the helper which made sam fell better then he thought it would the raven was unable to return to bed so he decided to do maintenance on his knife and dagger hoping the simple and relative motion would put him to sleep instead he entered a meditative state until the sun started to rise and he was wide awake." the day is just beginning hopefully...oh god I'm tired that doesn't like I need an energy drink or some fruit"
opening the fruit drawer of the fridge sam thought over what he should eat when the front door was kicked opened by his parents "where bac-" the father's words were cut off by an apple entering his mouth knocking him to the ground.
"that's why you went first," his wife said steeping through the doorway," so sam how was your month home alone?"
"a new form of chaos and boredom," sams said as helped his father to his feet and retrieving the apple he threw in one movement, "anyway I'm now a cosmic lord."
"Alright," Cora vegal said while giving her husband a look asking what a cosmic lord was, Natale's brightened with realization before asking his son" is that the possibly dangerous job you didn't plan for daniel to help you with?" sam nodded as he pulled out a cutting board to begin cutting up the fruit.
a few minutes later his parents returned downstairs after putting away their luggage and took a seat at the table before telling their son about there cruise trip, "hahaha how does end up with you getting melted cheese in your pocket's Hahaha" sam laughed putting aside the fruit he finished cutting.
"the same way you accidentally broke into someone's house just to return their necklace" Natale countered shutting his son up as red bloomed on the teen's face.' damn I thought that was forgotten about!' grabbing a bowl from the cabinets sam threw in the fruit as his parent continued there tale.
"so this chic had been hitting on him for a couple of hours trying to seduce him and I have just been watching laughing at her sad attempts,"
"I am happy in the faith you have in me"
"of course if I didn't have faith in you we would have married as long as we have, besides I know you're type and she wasn't it"
"true that, so anyway final I had enough of her so I pushed her in the pool we were next to before walking over to Cora taking the pool chair right next to her watching as the chaos I caused and it was then I realized that you two have been influencing me" at the accusation both his son and wife just gave innocent smiles like they did nothing knowing it was true while his own became stone.
when Natale's face remained stone sam threw the seeds of the watermelon at his face at speeds that his father easly guarded against with a wall of mana not that it stopped sam for firring seeds at him or for his wife to join starting a seed war through the kitchen.
after seeds had been scattered to every surface Natale called for a ceasefire so they could clean up, "this is going to take a while" Cora commented" right Sam" she addressed her son only to see that he was gone along the fruit salad he had made," it been years since he's done that"sighing she joined her husband's efforts to clean.
more then a dozen minter and miles later sam entered a crafts store finishing off his fruit salad, carrying the empty bowl with as he found a store clerk to direct him to the correct lane, this store made excellent use of expansion runes and boarded on the size of a full mall. it would take hours to find what he wanted by wondering.
gathering and paying for the supplies took longer then he thought it would but sam was glad to have it all and be out of that store.' i can't believe I got lost in a simple store, the hell, the dì yù' as sam continue to curse in his mind gritting his teeth not noticing his blood lust was leaking.
when he did notice after a cat hissed at him he pulled it back inside wondering,' what the fok its leaking too easily?!' he then felt a phantom hand smacking him upside the head as a memory spoke.
"remember sam blood lust and battle lust like yours doesn't disappear, they'll probably be apart of you for your entire lifetime so make sure you don't try and suppress them to long or it's possible they may escape your control remember or" at that point sam shiver remembering the unsaid threat, oh god she was going to kill him when they met next.
but at least he knew what was happening he has been suppressing his lust to long now it was coming back to bit him in the butt, "when is the person from the seven blades warfare going to appear, because joining just became a lot more important!"
'my lord if I may make a suggestion," sam told that would never be a problem, "if you find a place where it won't bother anyone you can let go the blood lust you have been suppressing"
'that's an excellent idea and I know a couple of places that fit that requirement, but for now, I have dices to make." returning to his house sam snuck in through his room window and immedatly got to work making the dice
