It is late into the morning when Zacharius finishes their drills with the Bladeers. Wiping the sweat from their olive-green bangs, they turn to their weathered captain. "Hm, I suppose that does it for today's training."
"Indeed," Captain Kholer replies. "May you enjoy the rest of your day, Lieutenant Ulbritch."
"Thank you, sir," Aries replies with a courteous bow. Then, they sheathe their silver-bladed sword and vanish into the distance, disappearing between the blooming trees and bushes.
Aries proceeds to a clearing enclosed by a ring of trees, but as they come out from behind a tree, they gasp, freezing in place. -
"Whoo. That's another job done." I jumped from the small set of stairs to admire my current project: A model of the State Capitol, with working lights, shadows, and miniature Maglev leading to it. "Not bad. Though I'm out of materials..", I muttered, making a mental note to pick up more on the way back home. "Ah, well. Time to visit my own slice of heaven." Grabbing my jacket, I found my keys and shuffled through them until I found the right one. I closed and locked the door before I set off through the wooded clearing, wondering how no one noticed there was a little shack and adjacent bigger building just a mile from the nearest home. I did like living here. It was quiet, I could keep to myself, but it was also lonely. Thinking nothing of it, I walked into an open area that was surrounded by trees, but felt like I was being spied upon. "Excuse me?"
-
Zacharius stands before the man, petrified from shock and rising curiosity. They examine him from head to toe, making note of his strange, rounded ears, mismatched eyes, and ambiguous gaze. Was the man calm, happy to have company, inwardly cold from being interrupted, so something else entirely? Zacharius sadly could not tell, throwing them into a state of confusion and worry.
Falling petals from the cherry blossom tree stretched out above them catches their eye and breaks their gaze. Finally able to move once more, Zacharius takes a few steps back, though already several feet away from the man, crunching in a patch of snow behind them.
Why, out of all the years I've come to this place in silence, nor once have I ever seen a soul like him, Aries thinks. Not very many know of this area. And where did he come from? Is he a spy sent from the enemy?
Gaining a more stern stance, Aries addresses the mysterious man before them. "Who—who are you, pray tell, and why are you here?" -
I looked towards the source of the voice, eyeing a figure within the swaying branches. Oddly, I felt no animosity or any other hatred from them, but still remained cautious. "My name is 'None ya', and my business is mine own. May I know who you are?", I asked whilst I felt the stillness of everything around take hold.
-
Zacharius, not amused, steps out from the branches and into the clearing, folding their arms with a dull gaze. "Suppose I could say the same, to be frank."
-
"Touché.", I laughed. Though I didn't want to admit it, I was surprised by anyone hearing me. I had been coming here for about a decade and not a single soul knew of my whereabouts. Was I getting sloppy in my old age, or were the people in knowing of me being here? I shook my head, chuckling as I stared into their eyes. "Are you the only one who knows of my location?", I questioned as I tapped the talisman on my wrist, standing my ground if need be.
-
"Hm. Unless this is a prank, it would appear so... However, it bothers me. You say you've been coming here for over a decade...... How? I've been coming here for over a decade, and yet I've never seen you. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but something tells me you're not even from here..."
Aries' face changes from annoyance to curiosity once more. Spotting the mysterious item on the man's wrist, they put their guard up. Their hands become enveloped in black clouds as they think to themself. What is this sensation emanating from that relic? -
"s---. They can read minds?!", I thought as I extended my hand as my blade formed from the shuffling metal. No more games. I held the blade in front of me to attack or guard in whichever situation was to erupt. Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted as I heard a small beeping emitting from my watch. "Ah. Excuse me, stranger, but I have to get going to my job. If we meet again, perhaps I may share.", I calmly stated as I began to bolt out of the clearing, not looking back.
-
Wait! What's this, Zacharius wonders. Was he about to attack me?
Aries clenches their fangs, and at once, a silver sword extends from the shadows around in their palms. They stand at guard, pondering if they should chase the man, but after a moment of thought, Zacharius lowers their weapon, hearing the rustling of the bushes beyond the trees slowly taper off as he disappears from their sight.
They swing their sword to their side, and it, along with the dark magic surrounding their hands, disappears. "Damn..." -
After emerging from the woods, I took the time to make sure I didn't drop anything. I was still in thought as I walked down the street, not noticing the fact that there was a uniformed guard outside of my workplace. "Damnit, Benson.", I grumbled as I watched the former colleague wander the streets in a drunken stupor. I turned my attention towards the building as I unlocked it, entered and closed the door, flipping the sign to 'On'. Business had been slow the last week, so I was prepped for an uneventful evening. " Here's to hoping someone visits.", I muttered.
