Palmarius: Metal Heart (old vers)

#3: Orphan

Above is what Xylcone looks like! Yeah, I kinda am an amateur in watercolor so meh. 🤣 Made it myself :3

Xyclone's POV:

This, is getting nuts.

First my unknown ability comes out of nowhere and then disappears on it's own, next thing you is I'm about to meet the king with an unknown cause. If your asking me, I'm as much confused as on whatever on this world is going on here, all I know is that I ended up beating a pervert without me realizing it, and then ended up having the Royal Guards show up after that incident and tells me that the king wants to meet me, alone?

Yeah, that's something to really ask about.
But what can I say, I'm just as curious as a cat so no harm done, right? No? Shucks this life!

So to keep the crowd safe just in case, they cuffed me with iron chains just on my wrists. Lu was obviously allowed to come, since she's the princesses' closest cousin. But they said she could only go as far as the door to the Royal courts of their majesties.

Then as we left the Guild Hall, A well-crafted wooden carriage appeared as the driver hurled the ropes holding the horses slightly to stop them from galloping any further. Lu made sure to stay close to me, as she held my right arm (even though she could have been slightly uncomfortable with it since my hands are cuffed) tight.

As I we started to go onward to  the Royal Palace, I could only hear Seiki and Arthur saying their farewells for now, I turned to take a glance of my best friend, just to see her leaning right now on my shoulder as she rested her head on it. I looked to see how beautiful she is up close, but I looked away immediately, hoping that she didn't caught me staring at her. I mean, who wouldn't stop staring at her yellowish-golden eyes, her silverish-white hair with purple ends, and her snow yet just the right color of peach skin. Okay, maybe she was right about me being weird all the time.

I may not be a criminal, but even I don't even trust this ability of mine. Even now I'm still wondering how I was able to regain my consciousness back...

*Flashback...*

My vision suddenly turned black the moment I got angry with the dude flirting with my best friend and tries to take her away from me with lies. I couldn't stop it, as I slowly lost my hearing and my sense of control, and just went for it. I couldn't see things properly at all, like everything I can see are just, white lines forming a person.

I couldn't feel, I couldn't control, and I cannot move. But it feels like, my body is moving on it's own though. I'm just, practically surrounded by darkness, as well as those moving white lines gradually changing.

I don't know what's going on. I tried to shout Lu's name out of the area of darkness I'm surrounded in. But I got no response...

I couldn't feel, I feel nothing. I couldn't touch anything, like I'm the only one in this world.

I hate this.

I hate being alone.

I didn't care anymore.

I just kept running.

Shouting Lu's name until my lungs and my body gave out.

As I felt my eyes watering as it falls on the ground and then disappears. I couldn't move anymore, I just crashed unto the ground as the cold tears in my eyes gave out into a sob.
