Wielders

Chapter 15

Josue is walks out of Kim's apartment,leaving her to finish her hot chocolate on the couch, before he closes the door and walks out onto the street. "Kim needs to relax I'm glad she decide to take a shower and head off to their mansion." Josue begins walking down the street passing a park along the way. The park had several brown trees with blue leaves, patches of colored grass everywhere along the area with colors ranging from red to neon pink. "I'll walk through the park." Josue puts his hands in his pockets and begins walking through the park until he hears a familiar crunching sound. "Glad to see me?" Josue turns to his right to see a pale white haired boy wearing a white v-neck, white pants and white shoes. The boy's hair had black patches all over it matching the black edges of his shirt, the black stripes on his pants and his black shoelaces. The only thing that ruined his clothing was the blue bag of chips in his hand along with the crumbs being left behind by the ruffled chips. "I'll admit dean you're a sight for sore eyes." Josue looked at dean's eyes, one normal light green iris and the other iris, like his father, was a skull though dean's was bright light green. Josue's concentration on his eyes is broken when he hears dean speak up. "Is Jill okay or not?" Josue sits down on the ground in front of dean and looks down. " I don't know, I had troubles of my own to worry about." Malcolm walks in on them talking in the park not bothering to ask what they're talking about due to reading dean's mind. "She's fine so don't worry so much." Malcolm sits down on the bench next to dean, who quickly puts some space between the two. "you okay man?" Malcolm looks surprised at Josue's question before he chuckles lightly. "I've had better days." Josue nods agreeing, a grin coming onto his face. "No doubt." Dean looks at them before grabbing another chip bag in preparation for his current bag ending. "So what the fuck happened?" Dean keeps checking the bag looking for crumbs in it as Josue looks over to Malcolm. "It goes something like this..." Malcolm recounts their adventure and ends as dean finishes the other bag. Dean looks surprised and worried after checking to make sure that his chips were done. "So Jill is okay right?!" Malcolm nods a smile on his face due to how worried dean is over Jill. "yeah she's fine man." Malcolm then turns to Josue as dean takes a deep breath to calm himself down. "where are you off to?" Josue gets up and brushes off the dirt on his black outfit before he teleports one inch forward getting rid of all the dust and on his outfit. "I'm going to the new apartment," Josue looks away from dean and Malcolm to whisper to himself, "have to check something out." Josue walks out of the park with dean and Malcolm waving him goodbye before walking past a vision center. "This is crazy!!!" A girl, wearing a t shirt, black pants and slip on shoes starts glowing red after throwing a few shades at the store. Josue just shakes his head, while his hands are in his pockets, before he decides to get her attention. "what happened lily?" Josue walks behind lily, who doesn't bother to look behind herself. "they won't give me contacts for eye color and you know I need those." Lily turns around to look at Josue angrily with pulsing red irises, a light red aura coming off of her. Josue nods before he looks over vision center, coming to a decision rather quickly. "come back later and steal them but don't destroy the place." Josue stops walking and looks at the sky after remembering the white glow off of Lucas. "Tell Demetrius to search for blood related deaths." Lily nods and Josue then walks away leaving lily to her own devices, making it to his new apartment without having any more encounters. "huh finally made it." Josue walks inside and looks at all the boxes with a happy glance. Josue is about to start unpacking a box when he sees a box that is labeled his, putting a smile on his face. "thanks guys." Josue passes out and appears in a destroyed town square, with the corruption sitting on a chair in front of him. "there's hope for you yet Josue." The corruption snaps his finger putting Josue on a chair and a table between them. "now if only you asked the right questions you might not die." Josue's still taking in his surroundings before looking back at the corruption. "what happened to the desert and why the destroyed city?" The corruption smiles and looks at him with a glint of happy disappointment. "wrong question but," The corruption looks to the city, "if you must know the surroundings represent your inability to accept victory and this is showing you a true failure to your battle." Josue is about to respond when the corruption interrupts him. "You don't know who gave him the info true, well you do but that's a discussion for later, Kim's right you know every fight you come back alive is a victory," the corruption looks away to a teacup cracked on the ground, "trust me I wish I had that mindset before I got stuck in this ring." Josue looks at him puzzled. "you were alive before being stuck in the ring?" The corruption looks at the sky. "yeah but that's a story for another day," The corruption looks at Josue with a look of remembrance, "get out." Josue wakes up where he fell on the floor, a look of excitement on his face. "so the corruption was human once." Josue opens his box and stares down. "Now it all makes sense." The box on the inside is missing the white crown and white king piece. "It'll be nice to see you again," Josue puts on the black crown, "Steve." Josue looks to his right, at the sky, with a huge grin on his face.
