Lucas's Ultimatum

Moving Day

August 22 20xx

Tazmily was a calm village. It was a very tight-knit community. It was small but had all the things that they needed. Lucas had lived here his entire life. He was a fish in water when it came to Tazmily. He was able to explore the village, and the surrounding areas, with his eyes closed and/or picked out of his head. However, despite how long Lucas lived in Tazmily, despite how much he loved Tazmily, he was moving. Lucas, and a few of his friends, were offered an opportunity that they all agreed they'd be dumb to not accept. Lucas's small group decided to meet up in their favorite place before the big move the next morning.

Lucas, with his twin brother Claus, left their house on top of the cliff and started to walk down the path. Lucas had his hands placed behind his head with his shoulder extended out on either side of him. Lucas kept his eyes on the starry night sky. Claus looked at him and chuckled to himself. "You really take after Killua, huh?" Claus joked. Lucas glared over at Claus, who was about the same height as him, but that was the only thing they had in common.

"Can you just, like, not be a dick? For once? I'd appreciate that," Lucas smugly said. Claus giggled a no, making Lucas roll his eyes. Lucas returned his eyes up at the night sky. He saw the stars twinkling which calmed him down. The night sky could always calm him, despite not ever needing to be calmed down. He took in a breath of the calm, cool, night air and subconsciously grew a smile.

"God, I need to find someone to smile at me like you smile at the sky." Lucas's face turned straight as he looked at Claus. Claus chuckled. Lucas gave a small smack to Claus's face.

"Shut up." Claus growled as he rubbed his cheek. He then ran off in an attempt to race Lucas to the meet-up spot, but Lucas wasn't exactly in the mood. Claus noticed this and decided to just continue running on his own. Lucas looked back up at the sky and sighed calmly.

He opened his eyes and looked around. He was in the middle of the village square. This was where most of the buildings in the village were. There were only a few houses not in the square, with Lucas's house being one of those few houses. Lucas giggled as he grew a smile. "I'm gonna miss this place," Lucas said to himself. He shook his head before speeding up his walk since his group is known for being quite impatient.

He left the square and entered the small forest. Lucas could see the train station he was going to use to leave in the morning, but for now, he walked past it. He saw the distant graveyard; his destination. He entered the graveyard and found the path to the right that led up to a small cliff. Lucas decided it was about time to run. He ran up the path, and about halfway up, he could see his group sitting on the edge with their feet hanging off the edge. Lucas smiled softly as he slowed himself down and continued walking. He then sat between Claus, and another friend, Kumatora. The third person there was Duster, who looked way older than he actually was. Lucas and Kumatora would always tease Duster about his aged look.

All four of them looked over the edge and stared at the historical Oshe Castle. The four of them would often roleplay there. Kumatora was always the ruthless princess with Lucas as the butler, and the other two as simple peasants who needed judgment. Kumatora giggled. "I've still got to give you two your punishments," Kumatora said. Duster crossed his arms.

"I'd much rather you not," Duster said. Kumatora looked at him and smirked devilishly.

"Nah, Nah, Nah, you'll learn not to fuck with the princess." Duster grew a tiny blush as he intensified his stare toward the castle. As Kumatora did the same, the brothers could see that she too had a small blush. Lucas leaned his head back toward Claus.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Lucas whispered.

"Mhm," he said. The brothers nodded toward each other before staring back at the castle.
