Kyoko and the Wisps

The world

Kyoko's POV

"H-Hang on what exactly do you know about this world?" "Sit down, I'll explain it to you."
I sit down in a chair and looked at Virvel.
"So what do you want to know?" "Anything about where we are and how we can get out."
"This world isn't what it seems, the ship we're on doesn't even exist." "What do you mean?" "We can clearly touch it and stand on it, and the ship moves. However that's just an illusion, the ship isn't here." "Then where is it?" Virvel sighs and holds his hand out. "This world is divided into two parts, one which has a mirror, and one that has the shards." "Like the shards for the mirror?!" Virvel nods. "H-How do we get there!?" I ask standing up from my chair. "You can only pass on through your mind." "Well that doesn't make much sense." "The shards are in the realm of clovers." "...where at though?" "I don't know, but I bet Veran does." Kaeshomi slammed opened the door. "Virvel! We've got a problem!" Virvel looked at me with a smile. "I'll be right back sweetheart." Kaeshomi rolls her eyes and pulls him out of the room. Sheptis comes up through the floor and hands me a note. "What's this?" "Koi told Sheptis to give Kyoko this letter before we got here but Sheptis couldn't find his way around. Sheptis is sorry..." "Hey it's ok! Besides I'm sure he wouldn't have minded." Sheptis nodded with a forced smile. "Sheptis thinks Koi's a nice human!" I laughed a bit. "A-Ah! Sheptis apologizes! Sheptis is still not used to human wording!" "It's fine, by the way...if you don't mind me asking...how old are you?" "Sheptis doesn't really remember...Sheptis thinks he's around four hundred." I spit out my water as I stare at him. "F-Four hundred!!? I thought you were eight!" "What gave Kyoko that idea-?" "The fact you look like a child!" "...Sheptis is a child." Before I could say something else Virvel came back with Kaeshomi. "Alright'y we got the creature ya was lookn' for!" I looked over at Kaeshomi and tilted my head. Virvel sighed and spoke up. "It's Veran." "Ah right'y it's got a name!" "How many time are you going to forget it?" "It's not like I'm purposely trying ta' forget it! As much as Id Like to." "Anyways, I'll take you over there sweetheart." Kaeshomi rolls her eyes and goes over to Sheptis. Virvel grabs my hand and pulls my into another room.

I walk in and see Veran sitting on the floor.
She looks up at me and scoffs. "The fuck do you want?" Virvel sits down and throws me the key to the chain on her neck. "Ask her what you want, then let her go." I turn and look at Veran. "So...what do you want to know?" "The realm of clovers, Virvel mentioned the shards for the mirror, do you know where they are?" She sat there for a minute. "You should already know that dumbass." "Why would I ask if I already knew?" "I don't know. But your fucking arm tells me you already know where they are." "M-My arm?" "Yes moron your arm." "Why would my arm mean I know where they are?" "Well considering you've been touched by them you should-" "What do you mean them?" She shakes her head and takes her blindfold off.

"First of all the so called 'realm of clovers' you speak of is called realm of Klopka, second of all the creatures I was referring to were the tall black things with red eyes." "Right, but that doesn't tell me where the shards are." She sighs and grabs a nearby piece of paper and begins to draw on it. "What are you-" "Shut up and hang on a second."

"Now listening cuz I'm only going to say it once. Your at the red dot k? From what I've gathered you've only been to the blue line, and the shards are at the green line." "Ok well let's just go get them then!" "And here I thought you couldn't get any stupider. It's obviously not that simple, getting to the shards isn't the problem." "Then what makes it so difficult?" Veran sits there for a second before breaking the silence. "How badly do you want to leave?" "Pretty badly." "...are you willing to do anything to get your freedom back?" "Obviously." "...even if it means sacrificing people close to you?" "What are you talking about?" "...the fate of people are in your hands." I tilt my head and toss her the key. "Thanks..." Virvel grabs my hand and pulls me out of the room. "Hey I wasn't done-" "Koi's waiting for you outside..." I run outside to meet up with him. "Koi your back!" "...yeah." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Well I know that's not true." "It's fucking nothing alright?"
