Wings Of Steel

Lunar Eclipse - Juno

FUKUOKA, JAPAN

I finished editing and uploading my video. I hope it all goes well. All's well that ends well.

Then I got this notification on my phone. I hurriedly opened up Twitter as I saw news about this gala or dance for the Infinity Watchers, and the good Conjurers.

I personally think they deserve it. They've protected us for so long. I can't wait to meet them at the gala- if I can somehow find a way to sneak in.

I opened the door, and saw my brother eating downstairs. I went downstairs, as quiet as I'll ever be, and scared the living daylights out of him.

"Boo!" His whole body tensed up, and he dropped all his utensils. He turned around to me, with his face red, and deep breaths.

"You scared me," he replied back. I laughed. We've known each other for so long, it seems impossible that we're ever going to be separated by anything.

At least, I hope nothing tears us apart.

Besides, I'll always have his back, and he will always have mine. Since I'm an hour older, I always felt like it was my duty to protect him, like a true hero, and like a true Infinity Watcher.

I'll be one of them, and I'll make sure of it.

We both heard the door slam open, and saw our mom rush in.

"Mom, what's happening?" We both asked, in unison. "Just stay in here for now, and don't make a sound. Someone might come inside since some of the Kleptomaniacs and Conjurers have night vision- even some of the Infinity Watchers do too," our mom said in a panicking voice.

I don't understand why she pointed out that some of the Infinity Watchers had night vision too, like they were going to plan some attack on us.

What does she mean? Why did she sound scared? I'd be scared- no- I wouldn't be. I'll protect my family if it's the last thing I do. After watching pa die in front of my eyes- I swore I would look for his motives, and why he died.

I also swore to myself to follow on his exact footsteps- sounds crazy, right? Well, he died because he got Phoenix blood, and dragon blood and mixed it together to become a powerful Kleptomaniac. A heroic one at that.

The doctors who were witch doctors, gave dad this potion to help slow down the poison, because it ended up slowly killing him. I wonder what would've happened if he never drank that potion, his body could've handled it, and everything would've been fine, and.. he could've lived with his powers.

I get goosebumps every time I think about that he could've lived.

Then, I noticed everything went black. It was a total blackout. The lights, the moon, our shadows all gone. What the hell is happening? Can someone please fill me in?

I got my camera at the ready, recording every moment. So I can relive it. That is, I don't think I would ever want to relive this again- I would if I saved someone, though.

After a few hours of hiding, we heard crashing outside, and banging, and screaming, and.. I smell.. gasoline?

It was so dark, I couldn't even tell if there was a fire burning.

My hands got so sweaty, the camera fell to the floor.
