{....Okay, some of you may be mad but I've got an excuse or two. One, I forgot I made this story as my mind was elsewhere for the past weeks along with soooooo many ideas for new stories. And second, I just forget what I'm doing half the time. Like, one moment I will be doing reading a book then my brain has a massive blank moment that makes me ask 'Who am I'? Yyyyyeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh, my brain is kinda,.....odd at some points. Anyways! On to the story!}

*~(Deva's pov.)~*

I hummed lightly as I stared at a bonsai tree that seemed to be glowing slightly. I was a very curious individual and I decided to mix my dark and light magic into a bonsai tree that I took care of since I was a babybones. But it had....interesting effects.

One side of the bonsai was white as pure snow while the other was black as the empty abyss. The white had flecks of gold while the black had flecks of purple and silver. It was interesting to look at as the black and white seemed to stay apart no matter what. Both also had little fruit, about the size of a small blueberry, that was golden for the white while it was a dark purple for the black.

....I may have created a miniature Tree of Feelings, somehow. How in the world did I create this little tree?

I then jolted slightly as I felt a brush of emotions that weren't mine. Looking down at the little bonsai, I saw that its aura was brushing up against mine and seemed curious of me. Smiling softly, I pushed feelings of pure adoration and love towards it. I could feel as it preened and seemed to glow in pride.

Chuckling I petted both sides of it lightly as I gave it some water as I could feel that it was a little thirsty.

It soaked up the water and hummed lowly. A few seconds I stopped after as I looked up to look around my shop. Then I looked to the stairs as I heard footsteps come down. The other skeleton came down as I really looked at him. I remembered Horror, Nightmare, Error, and Fresh from back of my days in my human life as I saw some of them around when I went to a convention. But it was hard to pinpoint him as I let go of my old human life memories, yes I have knowledge but its mostly buried or even lost from not remembering after so long.

I gave a questioning hum to the other skeleton but he just gave me a mysteries smile as he happily looked around the place. I blinked at him but ultimately ignored him as I brought out a sketchbook as I started to think of ideas to create for new food. I've introduced pizza, burgers, fries, rice, nuggets, pasta, soup, ice cream, and many more foods. Now I'm just in the process of thinking of new ideas.

"So, what you doing, shopkeeper?"

I looked up to see the skeleton looking at me with the same smile while tilting his head like a lost puppy. It looked cute even though to many he would look psychotic.

"Creating new ideas for food, but I'm wondering on how to do it as there are so many options to choose from and what to make. It's a wonder on how there are not around yet."

His eye sockets blinked as he looked at me, like me just talking to him was something he didn't expect. I turned my eye sockets back to the book as I sketched out some ideas or wrote them.

"....You do know who I am, right?"

I looked up again at him as he looked to be completely lost, hoping and yet questioning something that I could not read. I gave him a confused look as I set down my sketchbook and told him my honest thoughts.

"Not really, I never keep up to date with the Two kingdoms and honestly I don't care about it. You can straight up murder me right now and I would just wonder if I managed to piss someone off again."

That got a blink from him as he looked at me like something was wrong with me. I just shrugged as I continued to talk while looking back at my little bonsai as it seemed to gleam form something.

"Dude, I have a straight up, give no fucks until otherwise. I don't care if you murdered my neighbor or even my someone else as its none of my business as to what they did. Some people are just assholes or plain bricks so you may have done the world a favor of them not breeding more than they have too."

I heard as he chuckled but I ignored it as I petted my bonsai lightly. I wonder what name they should have? Mira? Lucy? Alastor? What should I call my little bonsai?

"Plus, if you were a murderer I would as your motive, goals, how fast can some one die, how to prolong torture, and to see if you want some snacks."

I looked up as I finished my list of words to only let out a 'pfffftttt' as his face was priceless!!! He looked as if someone just stole his most precious object, cleaned it and then gave it back to him while also giving a gift basket for taking it!!! It was the most 'WTF' faces I've ever seen!!!!

I soon started to laugh as his face was priceless while he joined a few seconds after. We both calmed down a few moments after as we still shook slightly from laughter. He then stuck out a hand as his smile became more calmer and happy.

"Names Killer, what's yours, shopkeeper?"

"Deva Starr, call me Deva, please don't spill any blood or dust in here without reason and you will get your favorite treat for free each time you come here."

I shook his hand as he smiled more brightly while nodding happily. I chuckled slightly as he started to babble about everything and anything. It was nice to listen too as I felt myself relax in his presence.

I believe that many people from my human life will call this person a bean from the way he is acting. And they may be correct as he sure is a bean.

I saw something move out of the corner of my eye as I turned slightly to see what may have been an Oreo hybrid of a cow and penguin walk back up the stairs.

I ignored the other as I went back to listening to Killer while giving input from time to time. But that other person was stuck in the back of my head.

Why do I feel like I signed the devil's contract today?
