Say My Name

Monster

I'll be honest with you guys. I've been getting really lazy these days.

And there's only one to blame.

INTERNET.

*bows* I'm really sorry.

"MONSTER"

I'll stop the whole world

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster.

The fox stretched his arms as he and his companion emerged from the portal that they just entered. He was weary at first, because this is something that he was not used to. That weird gut-swirling feeling that he felt as he entered the portal is making him anxious, earning him a few clicks of the Raven's tongue.

He sighed.

He knows that Raven is annoyed. Of course he does. Even though they're both wearing a mask, he knows that the other man is rolling his eyes, every time he would complain about that weird feeling. There's no explanation.

He just know.

"Huh. Why am I expecting to see a lush of green? Hah! This place is just so bleak!"

"Shut up. This is not the place of contract. We're here to see our employer."

Fox sighed as he followed his companion through the place.

There's something weird about this place.

He can see the sky, and the horizon stretching on to forever. But there is this weird feeling like, you're inside a huge box. Like you're inside a room without any doors or windows.

And he can't feel any wind.

His friend's kingdom is full of sand, but at least, it's windy.

Unlike this weird place.

He watched his friend walk as if there's nothing wrong with the place. And he can't help but frown. He knows that his companion could feel it too. But he's acting like there's nothing wrong with it. It makes him feel a bit jealous of his friend's coolness.

"Stop acting like that. You're the one who agreed to this mission. I warned you. But you said that you wanted to establish a good reputation to the other worlds."

He heard the Raven say. His frown deepened.

"I'm not whining." He grumbled.

"Yes you are. You're very childish."

Fox crossed his arms in front of him. Good thing he's wearing his mask. Raven won't see his face.

Raven just sighed.

"Stop pouting."

"I AM NOT!"

"You're quite noisy to be assassins."

Their attentions moved towards the guy that suddenly appeared on a hill not too far away from them.

He jumped down and walked casually towards them as he fixed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"I'm Ryuuken Ishida. Your employer. I take it that you're Fox and Raven?"

He stopped a few feet away from them, taking out a pack of cigarette from his pocket, and lighting one.
