This is annoying... why do I have to go meet him?
'Information, come on Joy, you thought this through like a thousand times.' my brain told me.
'Yeah yeah just stop making sense. It's hurting my brain.' 'I am your brain you idiot.'
The final bell rang so everybody was storming the hallways, it was either people just going home or people going to clubs which were in a lot of the classrooms. I wish I could join the club, I would be like the manager or something, I would be able to sense people's magic power and see if they had the talent for the club or something like that.
Walking down the stairs, past the Green Sea and right in front of the gate where everybody was waiting for their friends. The flood of uniforms was very underwhelming since it was just the same people at different times.
I sighed, I wish my school just allowed more creative outfits, but it's whatever.
I felt a tap on my shoulder, 'well here we go.'
"Heya, Joy~" he said with that same dumb smile of his.
"Hey..." I answered back. He started walking away and I followed him, since there has to be a reason he told me to meet him after school.
We walked quite a distance away from the school without saying anything to each other. This place felt more, how do I say it, naturey. Is that a word? The streets were long with barely any cars passing through, there weren't many buildings or stores and there weren't much street lights so we just had to go with the natural moonlight. Wait... moonlight? I looked up and sure enough it was night time. Feeling panic rise up within me I looked towards...wait I never got his name?!
"Um excuse me, where could we possibly be?" I asked him trying my best to make sure that voice didn't sounded scared. All men are predators, they can smell the fear that you let out.
"Just follow me." he said without looking at me. All he did was continue reading that damn thick ass book of his.
I stopped in my tracks. I mustered up every single energy cell within my body to unleash all my thoughts upon this man, oh boi so help me, God herself better smite this man if he does anything to me.
"Look listen, I don't even know your name. I only came with you because you said something about me being famous on the other side. What does that even mean? What other side? Why am I famous there?" I blurted out all in the span of a second I'm pretty sure.
He sighed and closed the book, tucking it in his arm. "The moon is pretty ain't it?" he asked me.
I blinked and all of a sudden we were next to the lake, trees surrounding us with the sound of crickets all over and fireflies illuminating the 'forest'. It look so magical with the full moon so close to us that it looked like a plane would hit it, it's beautiful reflection in the lake was something to gaze at forever.
"Alright let me answer all of your questions. We are in the realm of magic right now. There are 2 different sides of the world and there are 2 different types of people within the world. The magicians and the commoners." he said and showed his palm to the sky.
Strings of a golden yellow flame started dancing out towards the lake. The flames drew the Earth and a group of stick figures below a stick figure with a wand in its hand. Really? You have magic, but can't create a better drawing?
"The commoners don't do anything, the only reason they exist is because they are protected by the will of God, any magician that touches a commoner will be chased down by the puppets of God." he was saying looking down at his own reflection at the lake. "You have a reputation of being one of the few commoners that can see the world of magic more clearly then the magicians themselves. Are you able to see magic within people?" he asked me.
I sat down, his aura was making my knees weak, it was a color of light green at first, but as he continued talking it became darker and darker.
"Joy, Jennie, Pramit and Jung. The 4 people that have been ignored by God, born without magic yet can see magic. Destined to always see the things that are better than them. I wonder, would God punish me for touching you?" he asked with that same bright smile and reached out towards me.
I couldn't move, every single piece of my mind was telling me to run away, to find someone else to protect me. I gritted my teeth and grabbed his wrist.
"Quit fucking around with me. God this, God that, why do I have to believe what you are saying right now. Sure I can see things that others can't, but that doesn't mean I am ignored." I said screaming since I didn't want my voice to come out weak.
Tears were flooding my face as I was enveloped by the dark green aura, I really am going to die here aren't I? Why did I even follow him? Was I that curious? As much as I tried to hold back his hand, it felt like there wasn't even any resistance I was putting up as the hand loomed over me.
'H-Help, p-please. I don't care who helps me, just please help me.' I pleaded inside my head since my voice wouldn't come out. His fingers were almost reaching my inside my eyes, I quickly turned away and closed my eyes.
Suddenly I felt his arm stop and I was yanked to the ground. I opened my eyes and found him at least 10 feet away from me, near the bedside of the lake.
'What's happening?' was the only question racing through my mind right now. The green aura was no longer here. I looked around, the green aura was swirling around the forest, it became more thin. I tried to stand up, but was immediately yelled at.
"STAY DOWN YOU IDIOT!" Apollo yelled at me. I flinched before realizing that he wasn't looking at me, he was looking toward the lake. I looked toward the lake and I realized there was a person.
A person standing directly on top of water with the red moon behind him and the light red sky reflecting upon the lake, making it look like a lake of blood.
"Yo, I finally found you, Joy." the person said while walking closer to us. The wind was howling in my ear and my hair was flying. This person knows me as well? Am I really that famous on the other side of the world?
"Y-You monster!" Apollo shouted out. As if time stopped, all of the auras disappeared, the wind stopped and the red atmosphere steadied. The only noticeable thing that happened was that it was starting to get really hot. Hot? In November?
"Oh? Says the one that almost killed an innocent girl right?" the person said as they stopped right in front of Apollo.
Huh? With the person being closer to me I finally got to distinguish some more features of them. Well for one I was able to guess that it was a male with slicked down hair that was covering some of his forehead. He was wearing black jeans with a silver chain attached to it, a black plain t-shirt and a black jeweled necklace. He was shorter than Apollo, but he had a lot more of a muscular frame.
"You already know who I am right?" the person asked with a smug grin on his face as he was looking up to Apollo.
"Yeah I know you alright. You and your other personalities. You are wrath of the 7 deadly sins, the one that God hates the most." Apollo said clenching his fist. I don't get it, I couldn't see their auras anymore. And this person was wrath?
"Very good~ Now you have any last words before I send you back up there?" wrath said with very faint steam coming off his body.
"Just one, why protect this girl who is ignored?" Apollo asked.
"That's a pretty dumb question. Us people that are mistreated gotta stick together." wrath said and put his hands in his pockets without breaking eye contact from Apollo.
Apollo sighed and gave a little smile before fire started flying out of his hands and blasted wrath with it. He quickly used the brightness to get away.
"Oi oi, dial down the heat. It's already so hot." wrath exclaimed while in the middle of all the flames. I saw some fingers penetrate the sphere of fire and brush it all away into the lake, as if it was a blanket. More fire was blasting from Apollo, coming in all shapes and forms such as spears, spheres and dragons all aiming for the same target. All of it disappeared as soon as it came close to wrath.
"You done with the fireworks now?" wrath asked and began advancing toward Apollo at a slow rate.
"Nah, I got one more trump card." Apollo said with sweat coming down his forehead. All of a sudden a golden light, the width of the lake, appeared in the sky. Wrath continued advancing and I saw flames coming from the heavens. 'Well this is where I die I guess.' I said as the flames came down. It was so hot that it was nowhere near the lake yet the lake started evaporating. I felt my skin burning and my blood boiling, this is really the end of me.
"Please only focus me so I don't have to exert effort." wrath said before punching up toward the sky. The wind force from the punch blew everything back including me, the lake became a tsunami, the trees began flying out of their roots and the fire coming from the heavens disappeared. I rolled quite the distance away, I wasn't wet I was just covered in dirt. I was sore everywhere from the tumble that I did and how fast I did it. I looked up to where Apollo and wrath were supposed to be and let me tell you it was a mess. The lake was all broken up and barely any water left, there were trees all over the floor and the dark dirt dug up, though there was still the red atmosphere and the red moon.
'Should I leave now? I don't see them anywhere, maybe they left. Wait how did wrath even find me? Was it because of Apollo or did he have some other way of finding me?' I was confused. I decided that I should have just left, but this bone crunching sound echoed throughout the forest that I was in. Then Apollo came flying in my direction and zoomed to the right of me. I looked back and I saw Apollo in a state that he shouldn't have even been alive.
His eye was hanging out by a string, his mouth was all bloody with teeth missing that made him look like an addict, his ribs were sticking out and intestines spilling out. I had to resist the urge to vomit, but my eyes did get teary. I heard some branches snapping behind me, "Oh wow you still haven't faded yet?" the familiar sounding voice of wrath spoke out.
His voice was different, it was a carefree tone, but I can tell there was a lot of hatred behind every word.
"I can't believe it, I must've gotten weak or something if you are living for this long." wrath said in an insulted voice.
Apollo tried to move his mouth, but the moment that he tried in front of his face was wrath's knee and his head exploded into a mess of solids and liquids, blood spewing everywhere and fragments of bones flying at high speeds.
I hurled immediately, I couldn't control the urge after seeing that disgusting scene of gore. The footsteps were coming closer to me. I continued hurling, but I saw two shoes out of the corner of my eye. "Nice to meet you Joy, my name is Ira. Thank you for being here Conquest~" he said with a happy tone.
