Black Strings: Threads of Revenge

Mini Chapter 4

Tommy lays in bed, staring up at the ceiling. Why can I not fall asleep? He tosses over to his side. The clock reads 2:19 am. Why am I not able to fall asleep like I used to? Tommy climbs his way out of bed and slides on his boots. He locks the room and makes his way to the tavern.

The street lights that towered over all who walked on Snowbank City's cobblestone streets illuminated all that touched their light. With his magic, Tommy pulls a pinch of light from one of the lights above. He grabs an invisible spirit and swings them in front of himself. "Show yourself to me, now". Tommy growls. Trix appears. "That... was a fast reaction". Trix mutters. "Why are you here"? Tommy asks. "I want you to join The Black Rebellion. I want you to be it's general or commander". Trix says. "I'm it's leader, and I started this mess of a war".

I'll play along, just for the heck of it. I'll play along with him starting a war for the time being... even though I started it. Trix began to ramble, "I even looked at your file and saw that your favorite weapon to use was an axe, and so I -" "Are you gonna take a breather? Gather your thoughts"? Tommy asks impatiently. Trix gives himself a second before saying, "will you join The Black Rebellion? I got our blacksmith to make a special battle axe". "What does it do"? Tommy asks, crossing his arms over his chest. "It reincarnates people". Trix says. "I'll join". Tommy smiles. A portal opens in the middle of the street.

"Where does it lead to"?
"The Black Realm".
"What's important in the Black Realm"?
"The rebellion camp".

Tommy puts his hand through the portal, then takes it out. "Come on, I'm not teleporting the axe here". Trix says. Silently, Tommy walks through the portal.

Everything was some sort of shade of black, the trees, grass, and even the sky. The tents were shades of grey to contrast. The sky was moonless and is typically described as the sky of the End Lands. "This is a large camp for a rebellion". Tommy says. "Passion ey"? Trix says with pride. Tommy shrugs. "Can I join"? Casimir asks. "Who are you"? Trix asks. "I'm Casimir, trust bonded, and ready to help"! Casimir introduces himself.

"I may not remember much after I died, but I do remember that when I trust bond, it starts a war. Trix you may think you started this, but you are wrong. You began to gather people under one interest". Casimir imparted. "Tommy, here is the ultimate spirit I trust bonded with". "And I thought Fate wasn't going to be that strict with the prophecy". Trix chocked. "I don't know who Fate is, but I hope she is nice". Casimir says. "Fate is! She is quiet most of the time, but she is nice! She's tall, like a Starlight too"! Trix says. "Tell me what she looks like later. I would like my axe". Tommy says. "Right"! Trix says as he leads the way.

Inside a large, light grey tent was a furnace, anvil, bellow, and a box of tools. A guy white hair was holding a glowing hot sword. "Hey Nix, you gotta minute"? Trix calls. "Just as I cool this sword". Nix says. He summons a bucket full of water and dips the sword inside. The sizzling of the weapon in the water was loud. Tommy covers his ears. Nix sets it of the anvil and walks in there direction.

"You know you can uncover your ears". Nix tells Tommy. He takes his hands off his ears. "Tommy, the ultimate spirit, is here to join the rebellion and would like his axe". Trix says. "What about the other spirit"? Nix asks. "I'm Casimir"! The excited spirit says. Nix ignores Casimir and walks into the back room of the tent.

Benjamin- where are you?
Tommy- The Black Realm.

Nix comes back with a double-sided battle-axe with sky blue blades. "I thought it would be normal looking". Tommy says with an unimpressed tone. "That's what Spirit Drop does to a weapon". Nix says. "What's Spirit Drop"? Casimir asks. Nix asks.

Tommy leaves the tent. "Where are you going"? Trix asks. "Going to the tavern before I have to get back to the hotel". Tommy replies. Trix teleports in front of him and says, "but you don't know how to make a portal with your new abilities". "Neither do I, but I still float". Casimir interrupts. "Teach me then". Tommy says with an amused smile.

Trix opens a portal. I'll learn myself then. "Thanks". Tommy smiles as he walks through the portal, and on the other side is the Starlight Tavern.

"Go and get some of your colleagues. I want him dead". The Spirit of Spirits says. The guard nods before leaving the room. Ammar told me that 1stwanted to kill him, himself.
