The Flow of Arcane: Myths Comes To Life

Highschool Memories

With Tyrik's past among the senior year of high school, Tyrik was now assisting his girlfriend with her homework assignment for their History Class. Though, he did wonder why she wasn't meeting him halfway and helping with their project regarding the stories of Chinese mythology and the story, Journey to The West. "I am a bit disappointed that we didn't get assigned to Norse Mythology... I could talk about the stories of Odin, Heimdall, and Thor as if there were my bedtime stories. Why are we assigned to some story regarding a monkey man?" Announced bitterly by Valerie, which did give Tyrik some insight as to why she didn't exactly want to help with the assignment.

"Didn't Heimdall only get mentioned in six poems or something? Compared to figures like Odin, Thor, Sif, and Loki... I would say that Heimdall is a minor character in mythology." Asked Tyrik with some degree of confusion. "Sure, he serves a big role in the MCU, yet that is the movies and comics of Marvel than the actual mythological lore." He added on with a sense of confusion as Valerie blushed a bit as if she did not intend to express that she was a bit of a nerd herself for the Nordic Myths.

"I mean... You're not wrong... Though, I may have... Read a whole lot of Norse Stories when I was growing up..." Admitted Valerie, clearly flustered by this slip-up as Tyrik chuckled a bit.

"Hey, I was kind of the same way when it came to Arthurian mythology." Comforted Tyrik as he hugged Valerie to calm her nerves. "Plus, it is okay to show that you aren't the stereotypical bratty cheerleader from time to time, Val... Despite how much Ricky seems to be suspicious of you..." He finished as Tyrik began to ponder why this was the case when it came to Valerie. She may have been a bratty woman, yet she hasn't shown anything, which would make it seem like she was a bad person. Then again, there was the possibility that his autism was not allowing him to see these cues. "Changing the topic... There is a detail that has been bothering me regarding the story of Journey to The West... There seems to be a bit of debate on who helped Tripitika through his journey toward the end. Some say that Wukong stood with him until the end, while some depictions say otherwise." Tyrik explained with a sense of confusion why an ancient text had this inconsistent detail. Valerie did express some interest in this detail as well, at least in her own way.

"Think that you can finish this for the both of us, sweetie? I have to head out to party with the girls." She announced as Valerie kissed Tyrik on the forehead with a tone of voice that gave a clear hint that she was not asking. But telling him that he needs to obey her. Tyrik looked to his side as he ultimately complied with the command. "Happy to hear, my sexy boy toy. If you finish this quickly, I may give you a little treat later." Valerie announced with a sultry voice, carrying a sinister ring.

"I think I can manage... I guess..." Tyrik timidly replied as he blushed a bit due to the minority erotic tone within Valerie's voice. With that, the young Adier was quite pleased with Tyrik's compliance. Granting him a kiss on his forehead to thank him before taking her to leave for the night. Yet she was not expecting to run into Ricky on her way out.

"Well, excuse you, gorilla man... Perhaps you should consider not standing in my boyfriend's doorway like some creep." Valerie scoffed as she wafted her hand to knock away the stench of tobacco. "Also toning down the amount you smoke daily would be helpful, too. You smell like a rotting ashtray." The cheerleader announced with some disgust towards the scent.

Ricky growled a bit with gritted teeth before he glared at the woman. "Dillweed... So, how are things going with the school assignment you two have?" He questioned with an accusing voice as if he already knew what the answer was.

"Have something to say to me, Bucko?" Valerie spat out with a malevolent tone as if she was more than capable of taking out the towering Filipino before with little effort. "Because if you want to throw hands with me. I will be more than willing to grant you that desire." She declared as Valerie approached Ricky with a small flick on his chest to intimidate him.
