Living each day with her challenges, carrying old lessons from one. An individual from above damning everyone, opening infinite possibilities. Their deep rage, a simple desire leading them forward.
Continuously repeating tragedies, this never ending chaos. No matter, an uncertain future ahead. Those three heading down to the shopping district, their eyes on the many people, those loud voices.
Stores on each side, this active day. Birds soaring across the sky, smaller animals running along, the warm sun shining down on countless. Sera approaching, soon standing before the three.
"This will be a fun day." The smiling woman, her hand to her chest.
"This was supposed to be our time, Ava..." Dabria's disappointment to the maiden, tightly holding onto her companion's arm.
"It is our time, with others." The young woman teasing, glancing to the hazel one.
"Ugh! You planned this!" the pure person frowning at her partner.
"Of course I did, even I need a break now and then you know." Ava faintly grinning.
An entity learning from another, creating a loophole in their agreement. Someone inviting another, needing a slight rest. Dabria pouting at her partner, shortly looking away in displeasure. Sera thinking for a bit, her soft smile.
A goddess building more into her life, surrounding themselves with pleasant individuals. The few shortly heading onward, Selica happily leading the way. These companions walking by many establishments, stopping at some at times.
The young woman urging the girl to choose some toys, that small one happily getting turtles. This wonderful day on them, embracing in these smaller moments. Eventually finding themselves outside a diner, food in front of them on a table.
"You should try these too Ava! They're good!" the bright child pointing at a crepe.
"Hmm..."
A small one admiring the maiden, their shining personality. Unrest at the young woman's core, a vision still with her. Trying to push it out of mind, her eyes on the crepe.
Its strange texture to her, shortly moving her fork. Pushing down into one, putting it on her plate. Ava cutting off a piece, soon consuming it. Its bitter taste, these clashing flavors.
"J—just how can anyone eat this?!" the young woman uneasily looking at it.
"Hehe, it is an acquired taste." Dabria smiling at her companion.
"Yes, I can see that." Sera unsettlingly covering her mouth.
"Hm? Taste just fine to me, maybe it will get better in time." Selica pressing her index finger against her cheek.
I wonder if this was used to torture prisoners, and as a result it became an acquired taste. If that is the case, this place is something else...
A peaceful town in the day, people enjoying their simple moments. The young woman's experience in it, familiar sentiments flowing through her. An individual forming a bond with a few, relishing in this bliss.
Sera holding her breath, quickly shoving down her own crepe. Dabria and Selica laughing, watching the maiden and woman quickly drinking water.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Ava shortly glancing to the child, seeing their messy face. Her soft smile, picking up a napkin, soon wiping the filth from the kid.
"Thank...you..." Selica smiling, chewing her meal.
"You two are as close as siblings, honestly...it is kind of scary seeing you this nice hehe." Dabria's shining grin, resting her arms on the table.
"I have to admit so, but this is cute." Sera brightly smiling.
"I am not completely cold-hearted you know..." Ava embarrassingly looking away.
"Big sis is the best!" Selica bouncing a bit in her seat.
A person coldly proceeding through her years, enduring a chaotic realm, playing a similar game herself. These guiding sentiments within her, a heart refusing to stay silent.
Her encounter with an innocent person setting her course elsewhere, two steadily making their way back to one another. Hours going by, the few returning to the orphanage.
Ava carrying the sleeping kid in her arms, soon putting her down in her bed, covering them with the blanket. Some other children in the room, resting from their day as well.
Selica turning in her bed, gripping her pillow. The maiden shortly meeting Dabria and Sera outside the room, carefully closing the door behind her.
"She is out like a light." Ava glancing back, softly smiling.
"I can imagine, we were all over the shopping district today." Dabria's hands behind her back, brightly grinning.
"Hehe, it was nice. Though, we should head on home before it gets dark. I will let you know if I come across anything of use." Sera's hand to her chest.
"Thank you." The young woman moving onward, passing her companions.
An entity living in hatred for a long time, a person seeking after her younger brother. Eventually coming across a pure one, that individual bringing light into her dark world, filling it with weight.
Cherishing her encounters, keeping these experiences in her heart. Ava soon returning home at night, sitting down on her bed, remaining with her current cloths on.
"You know, you should go take a bath and relax. Even though you were having fun today, I could tell you were still somewhat on edge..." The worrying girl, sitting at her companion's side.
"I just cannot shake this terrible feeling, like I should have stayed close to the orphanage this night..." Ava looking down a bit.
"You think Selica is in danger...?" Dabria's hand to her chest.
"It might just be all of this stress, since everyone is usually fine until day time."
Even though this day helped, I just could not shake that dream. It has to be a hallucination, that is only normal when dealing with monsters...
An entity once alone, coldly proceeding along her route. A certain meeting setting forward her path, these precious individuals to her heart.
Across the town, an orphanage in ruin. Rubble scattering around, crimson liquid painting the walls. Furnitures in pieces, Selica awakening to a foul stench.
Sitting up in her bed, holding her hands to her chest. Her eyes on her surroundings, seeing beds upside down. Dressers in two, marks everywhere, a room in a terrible state.
Shortly hearing scraping along the walls, the flinching girl. A shadowy figure looking at her, its malicious red eyes on her. The heavily breathing child, her hasty heart. Slowly moving off her bed, her vision a bit to her sketch book on the table.
Carefully approaching it, the monster watching her movements. The kid inching over, reaching for the book. Selica soon grabbing it, immediately hearing the screeching fiend.
The girl instantly running from the pursuing creature, quickly opening the door, fleeing the area. Enemies watching her in the shadows, seeing her run down the halls.
That dark foe walking out of the child's room, shortly chasing after the little one. The kid racing out the building, her teary eyes.
"Ava! Ava!!!" Selica screaming out.
A small person running through the dusk, rushing down the ruinous streets. Her attention drifting back to the monster pursuing her, those in the darkness hearing her terror.
The bleeding moon shining down its light, revealing the creatures lurking in the shadows. Their salivating mouths, dropping their kills. Selica seeking out the maiden, avoiding those attacking her.
Ava moving aside her blind by her bed, looking out at the pitiful sight. Dabria's gentle hand on her companion's shoulder, understanding their concern.
"She will be fine, just try to take it easy." The girl's soft voice.
"Ava! Ava!!!" Selica screaming out.
"Selica!" the maiden's alarm.
"What is happening?!" Dabria pulling away, her great shock.
Unease in the young woman, a terrifying vision coming into actuality. Quickly grabbing the sword by her desk, bolting out the room.
The hazel one hastily following, both racing down the stairs. Approaching the front door, the maiden opening it. That small one running towards her crying out, the shadowy figure surrounding them.
Ava rushing forward, running along her dark road, reaching for the kid. The fiend sweeping the child into the air, flying off into the distance. The goddess' wide eyes, her trembling heart.
"Selica!!!" the maiden screaming out.
