For The Sword Of 'Never After'
The days
Cordelia Océane
Ughh... What is it Zada?
Cordelia Océane
We're late...? What do you mea-
Cordelia Océane
*looks at time* oh shoot
Cordelia Océane
We're late!!!!!
Layana
*waking up*
*mumbles* what is it, guys? why are you both screaming at the top of your lungs early in the morning?
Zada
We're late...
We're late for our second day of school
Layana
*gets up from bed* what?!
Layana
then what are we waiting for?! Let's get ready as fast as possible
Cordelia Océane
Yea right... Lemme go brush my teeth first
Zada
Are we ever gonna wake on time? (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩)
Cordelia Océane
Zada! Stop daydreaming
Get here and freshen up with us
As we can see our gaurdians seem to be always late for school and today is their second day in the new school that they just got admitted to
But right now, they're struggling to finish up and get ready for the school as fast as they can
Aunt Aurora
Girls, it's time for breakfast now
All three of them at the same time: "we're coming aunt"
Cordelia Océane
Okay so what's for breakfast today, aunt?
Cordelia Océane
I'm starving (ᗒᗩᗕ)
Aunt Aurora
It's because you guys didn't wake on time again as well
Aunt Aurora
ಠ‿ಠ how do I make you girls understand the value of waking up on time?
Zada
aunt, it's not really our fault..
Aunt Aurora
Eat your breakfast girls and then off to school
The breakfast was very delicious
Everything was well and they really liked their new school
The school campus, the corridors, music room, school gym, and even the library. They liked it all
They especially spent their time on the things they love to do.
Cordelia spent her time in the school gym.
Layana spent most of the periods in the music room playing the piano but she didn't lack in getting informations on the topics that were being taught in their class.
While Zada spent her time in the music room playing instruments she loves and the library, for her love of books
People were nice,minded their own business and weren't nosey at all
So there were peaceful days in the school
Everyday they would go to school as simple people but whenever time calls they would take their form and fight the demons that are on a hunt to chase down the blade/sword of 'never after'
Of course, they're not the only ones fighting for the protection of this world but others as well.
Like, other gaurdians like fairies, white witches & wizards fight against the demons
they know that the demons are after the sword 🗡️but they don't know what for, and the only thing they're sure of is that the demons are upto no good as the sword 🗡️ has enough power to destroy a large amount of the earth, almost, the whole world
The sword was casted to the world by God, for he only knows why he did that. But the fighters and protecters who hide in the shadows, who live among us are there to bring peace as long as they're here with us
Aunt Aurora
Girls, why don't you go explore places?
Zada
we would love to Aunt!
Zada
So I guess... You have a place to recommend to us?
Layana
it's been so many months since we had explored new places
Cordelia Océane
Like the abandoned house last time-
Layana
That one was very scary
Cordelia Océane
Okay Laya, then I'll just stop here
Aunt Aurora
And the place that I'm about to recommend to you guys is actually...
Aunt Aurora
It's actually an abandoned city
Aunt Aurora
And now it's filled with the nature's bosom
Aunt Aurora
It's greenery, fresh and gives nostalgic vibes
Aunt Aurora
and since you girls love to explore places like this, I thought you guys might want to see the place
All : "we would love to Aunt!"
Aunt Aurora
*chuckles* okay, so let me show you the place
She shows them the pictures of the abandoned city on her phone 📱
Zada
woah~ it's so cool and awesome
Zada
So, we're going girls
Zada
Let's leave right away ୧(^ 〰 ^)୨
They didn't waste a moment
They packed their stuffs, said goodbye to their aunt and told her that they will be back by 6:00 or 7:30 pm in the evening
IT WAS 1:12 PM WHEN THEY REACHED THE PLACE
Together : "so beautiful!"
The abandoned/forgotten city
Layana
It's still so fresh
Zada
ooooh~ it's giving me goosebumps in my stomach
Cordelia Océane
You mean butterflies, Zada.
Cordelia Océane
Don't say you get goosebumps in your belly. That's very disturbing
Layana
╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
Cordelia Océane
but you're right. This city is literally beautiful. It's like a piece of heaven
Layana
Aunt Aurora was right. it's greenery and gives nostalgic vibes.
I know it doesn't really have anything to do with my childhood but it's making me go back to my childhood...
Cordelia Océane
Hey! Same here guys (╯︵╰,)
Zada
anyway girls, let's check it out
Cordelia Océane
Hey! Zada wait for us-
Cordelia Océane
ಠ‿ಠ sometimes I'm really sick of this girl for leaving us behind just like that
Cordelia Océane
Hey! Wait! Zada!
Layana
Was it just my imagination?
Layana
Probably just some wandering birds
Layana
*turns back* Wait for me Zada, Delia
Cordelia Océane

Zada
We don't want you to get lost😆
Layana

Zach

Nick

Edan

Cordelia Océane

Zada
I heard some whispers...
Cordelia Océane
But there's no one
Layana
Probably just your imagination
Zada
*glances back at the place*
Zada
Let's go somewhere else, We're done exploring here girls
Nash
Shi

Edan
Now if you boys would just shut up and focus, Maybe we wouldn't attract unnecessary attention again
SOMEWHERE IN THE ABANDONED CITY
Zada
A ruined tunnel with a river
Layana
And an abandoned station here
Cordelia Océane
Aaaand this guys
Zada
Everything's so peaceful here
Zada

Cordelia Océane

Layana
A forest? that sounds adventurous and mystic.
Sure
AFTER 30 MINUTES OF WALKING AND SEARCHING THEY FOUND A FOREST THAT THEY WERE EXPECTING TO FIND
Zada
Our expected mysterious forest cave
Layana
cave...?
Well it kinda looks like one so yeah
Layana

Layana
Yep. Besides it would be great for Delia. She can have a taste of the ocean again
Zada

Great! Let's go!!! *grabs Cordelia's arm*
Layana

Cordelia Océane

Zada
the Ocean's looking so mesmerizing and now I'm in a mood for an ice cream 🍨 ಥ‿ಥ
Layana
Ocean really makes you think of ice creams Zada😆
Cordelia Océane
guys
thank you for thinking of me ಥ_ಥ
Cordelia Océane
For thinking that I needed to see the ocean since it's been a while.
The truth is, I've been longing for the breeze of the ocean for a while now but I didn't let you guys know cause I didn't want to trouble you both.
Aunt Aurora too.
Cordelia Océane
I'm so thankful for having you guys as my best friends.
I love you both so much 😭
Zada
Awh we love you too Delia
Cordelia Océane

Zada

Cordelia Océane
Yes we do *laughing*
Layana

IT WAS TIME FOR THEM TO GO HOME
William

Nick
What the hell, William? Why are you blushing all of a sudden? You're a weirdo
Nash
Haha. probably because of his girl
Zach

Zach
😑Let's get back before 'He' sends his 'shadows' to come get us
The dark witch
IN THE BUILDING OF THE "WINGED DRAGONS"
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
So you boys are finally back, huh?
Edan
We're back on time and in the right place Mr. Ikeda
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
Good that you boys know your rules
Rayden
This is the thing that you asked us to bring Mr. Ikeda
Nash
*handing him the weapon* This is the dagger
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
You boys are indeed capable of such things
Rufus
*standing at the corner watching the scene*
Jiro Hayashi
Are they still at it?
Jiro Hayashi
*sigh*
Asahi, you know you guys should just stop playing this stupid game
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
ahahahhahha this is not a game Jiro. We're acting to be cold, tough and all, so that we can feel like real gangsters
Nick
*in disappointment* I told you guys, this man is dumb. He's making us play his stupid game just for his own amusement
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
Is my grandson praising me around as always?😌
Edan
*trying not to laugh*
Rayden
*is lowkey laughing*
Nick
Yo chill old man! Whom you calling your grandson???
Edan
Nah. You need to chill Nickie
Nick
whom are you calling Nickie??!!!
Rufus
...are they all dumb?😑
Jiro Hayashi
Let me join in the fun too
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
Haha Anyways I mean it when I say you guys are capable of such things
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
Though the place is very peaceful and doesn't seem like to propose any kind of danger, when you open the portal to the "unseen dimension" you can the place where this dagger was kept hidden
Edan
Mr Ikeda. We want to know why this dagger was kept hidden in a place like that. Especially when the place is as peaceful like in the countryside
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
Hmm good question Edan
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
Jiro. Mind telling them?
Jiro Hayashi
*sigh* you always skip telling stories
Jiro Hayashi
Boys, the place you went to was an abandoned city or also known as the forgotten city. At the beginning, when the city was newly built, everything was normal. People would go to their work, chase after their dreams, and all.But once a witch came to the city. It wasn't just a normal witch who just simply rode on a broom or made potions. She wasn't a white witch either but rather a dark witch
Jiro Hayashi
Despite being a dark witch, she wasn't really a Villainess. She was concerned with herself and her intentions only. But her neighbours didn't really like her-
Kaede Kimura
*entering the room* make it more specific Hayashi
William
what's she doing here?
Michael
Kaede Kimura... It's my first time meeting her
Nash
She's Kaede Kimura? The "feared Wings of misery"?
Edan
She probably has something to tell us about
Jiro Hayashi
Why do you always cut my sentence in mid air Kimura?
Kaede Kimura
Because you weren't being specific with the story.
Kaede Kimura
her neighbours were the owners of this dagger, which was named "tiger's claw strength". They didn't really like her cause she was better than them in combat skills, and the fact that they were of the same age made their jealousy grew bitter. The owners were twins. One day they planned to trap her inside a dimension and kill her there but little did they know that a citizen heard their plan. The man who heard Everything warned everyone about the twins' plan and since they were fond of the dark witch, who, secretly, helped the poor and orphaned children, they armed themselves to protect her. But as normal humans as they were, they couldn't win against the twins.
Kaede Kimura
Whoever came in their way, the twins slaughtered them and killed them in the most horrible way. Now you would ask me, why did the dark witch not know about this? The truth is, the twins drained her energy little by little whenever they would be in the same field fighting the demons. So on that day, when she heard the commotion and found out what was going on outside her house, she fell down on her stomach and couldn't stand up to open the door no matter how many times she tried to get up. At last, she somehow gained all her energy back using her own very secret spell which she created on the spot, went and fought with the twins which resulted in her victory of course.
Kaede Kimura
As the war between her and the twins finally came to an end. She was met with the sight of whole city's death. Children, babies, middle and aged people. All were dead. The cause of it was the dagger which I mentioned earlier.
The dagger alone does not hold that much power but when combined with a strong aura of forceful power it becomes powerful enough to destroy a particular region, as the city you men went to.
The dagger never really was meant for people like them and that's exactly what the dark witch thought. In the end, hours after her mourning for the people who protected her and for the innocent people who also got trapped in the war, she deposed their bodies into the ground as minerals and so, that's why, the city was filled with greenery.
Kaede Kimura
It's their own very flesh that gives the green beauty to the city
Rufus
may I know what happened to the witch after that?
Rufus
where did she go to?
Kaede Kimura
as far as I know.....
Jiro Hayashi
She probably forgot
Kaede Kimura
Yes I forgot- No! it's more like I don't know!!!
Kaede Kimura
Stupid Hayashi
Zach
So.. You don't know what happened to her?
William
And where she went to?
Kaede Kimura
No, I'm really sorry boys. I apologise. I don't know about that
Rufus
It's hopeless *dissaponted*
Mr. Asahi Ikeda
cheer up Lil fellas
