around to uploading it\n\nOvertaken\nDecember 15th 2xxx AHE (after extinction of Humanity)\n\nChapter One Stars and bars\n Driven into madness? Anyone could be driven to that huh? My name is Haail f. Winters. It’s tradition that the family names us after winter related themes, like for example my brother's name is avalanche. I’m a noivern with mostly white fur with a pink stomach spot that goes up to my chin. With grey eyes and purple inner ears colours with light blue chest fur and tongue. Our family has hot pink star birthmarks that are located on the right side of our necks, only those born of our blood line can have it. But mine is alittle different for some reason it changes colours depending on my emotions. If I’m sad it glows blue if happy it becomes orange if mad it’s red etc \netc. but the weirdest part is it’s only our family that has white fur I’m not sure why it is but I have some possible ideas, could it be I’m a mix hybrid or that I was born of the northern hemisphere regions. It is much colder up there and our family is built for such climates. But again it’s only our family that has white fur all other noiverns are blacked fur. It makes us feel.. out of place. It makes me feel out of place. I hate the public.. every time I go outside it’s nothing but shame or how out of place I am or how ridiculous my name is or how I live up north, my fur, accent.. they’ll use any excuse to drag me down. We live isolated and away from everyone to avoid public outlash. But I made the decision to leave my house and be on my own, maybe just maybe I could eventually get people to be accepting of us, if not for me at least let my little brother have the freedom to be able to go to a public school make friends grow up with those people and live a happy life instead of isolation and alone. My family deserves so much more than this, I don’t care what happens to me through this situation I just want better for my family. “I won’t return until there is change, that is a promise. I’ll make you proud!” Giving them one last kiss and hugs goodbye I make my way over to the western hemisphere. With abit of traveling on foot I finally reached the town called norveta (nor-vet-ah) I’m not sure what to expect since living in isolation all my life makes very unfamiliar with everything outside the realm of it. “Hm ‘ere it is, the apartments over ‘ere thankfully are affor’able enough and not too expensive. The amount I ‘ave saved should allow me to keep up with rent for 3 months that would be enough to cover myself until I get a job ‘ver.” When I say small town I mean really small. Everything is just where you need it so it’s very lacking in vehicles. With housing right next to each other, most of the houses look the same one story house with mostly white walls and red roofs and chimneys.( like a suburban) Once you pass by the houses you'll be surrounded by an area full of small local markets. Ranging from people selling fresh fruits to vegetables. To selling seeds for farming, even places for toys or cards or if you want try homemade drinks or hot dogs. It appears the town has more of a reliance on its local residents than anything really. But if you decide to take a walk left you reach an actual store though it sorta looks cheap. But if you go to the right you'll see the apartment complex. That's where I need to go. Heading over to the apartment complex stepping inside up to the front desk counter. “I’m ‘ere to move into to my room.” “Uh.. did you register online first” “Yes, I’m Haail Weathers” “you’re Haail Weathers??” The guy upfront laughs hysterically to the point of tears. “An abomination like you?? Are you even an noivern? Fuck out of here I don’t want something like you living here.” “But I don’t know where else to go?” “Not my problem.” The person at the counter getting very annoyed grabs me by the arm and pushes me out, having me land hard on the ground. “And stay out!” Slamming the door behind me and locking it to make sure I don’t try to get in. “I understand I’m sorry.” Grabbing my luggage I start searching for a place to stay by soon spotting a bench. I suppose this will be my new place heading over to it making myself comfortable. I’m not sure what to do.. I know if try to go inside a market or store they’ll probably just kick me out like the apartment complex.. I can’t go back. I made a promise. A promise is a promise no matter what. As the day went on my stomach constantly growls at me but I had to ignore it, and noiverns would either stare at me or look disgusted if they happened to walk past near me. “Hey mr!” “Hm” looking down to my left I saw someone young tugging at my leg. Possibly 7 or 8. “You look thirsty please take my bottle of water please take it.” “Thank you so much” taking in a sip the kid happily watches me gulp it down. “Travis! Get away from that.., thing.” A motherly noivern rushes grabbing her child and back quickly away from me “he’s a noivern like us mommy.” “No it’s not I don’t know what it is” smacking the bottle from my hand as it spills onto the grass. “Nonono” getting on my hands and knees trying the best I can to drink the water before it sinks to the ground “disgusting creature” she says before kicking me in stomach causing me to land on my side in pain. Causing me to whimper in pain. The kid rushes over to me gently putting his hands on where I got hit “see where that store is?” pointing east west of my position “there’s a lake up from there with its water being the most purest. Or at least that’s what mom said. Well my mom gave away my name. What's yours?” “Haail Weather.” “Travis!” She kicks me away again before picking up her child. “Stop helping it.” “He’s not a it mom. And he has a name Haail weathers!” As he’s being cared away he looks to me “don’t forget what I told you ok!?” Giving a nod to what he said as I watched him and his mother disappear probably never to see them ever again. Getting up from the bench I carry my luggage over to the lake. “Woah.. it looks beautiful!” Using my bottle to start filling up as much as I can, getting a sip after sip filling it back up. As I was sipping away a squirtle sees me and swims their way over to me soon tapping on me. “Are you a traveler? Please sir you’re bag, is there food in there. Please help me. I haven’t had anything to eat for days. Please.” My emergency rations.. “Go a’ead, you need it more than I do” digging through my bag he pulls out some of my bars inside my bag munching on them. “thank you! Thank you!” “Is there no fish in the lake?” “No, it's man-made. The reason why it’s pure is because there’s nothing inside the lake. I know what you’re thinking though it wouldn’t be as pure since I’m in it at the moment. Or might be thinking why the hell i'm in it in the first place \"\"ya pretty much \"\"I bathe in it sometimes I’m not sure if it’s an ability or something but even though I bathe in it, it doesn’t affect the lake at all. I’m positive if you were to step in the lake you would notice right away that it's being ruined.” “Ability? From you or from the lake itself?” “I’m not sure me possibly” “I see, so you've been exper’mentin’?” “Pretty much, *munch* I’m begimin with a g by the way.” “Haail Weathers.” “Oh like the winter weather climate?” “Ya it’s a tradition. With our family.” “Snow puns as a tradition. How fun. I bet they’re pretty nice folks.” Looking at him a bit, taking a really good look at him, he noticed he had more of a younger Demeter. “You seem quite young to be out on the street. Can I ask what happened?” “Oi! I’m not that young, I'm 18! And don’t say that just because I’m short!..My mother passed away when I was really young and never got along with my father too well. At a certain point I couldn’t take it anymore and ran far far away. I reached a lake then swam and swam until I couldn’t swim anymore and my legs grew numb and aches and I passed out and wound up here. I thought I was free and would be safe here but was instead made fun of and was made ashamed of for feeling out of place. For not being one of them. So I stay over here and watch from a distance. After observing this town for a bit I learned about how this lake is pure and all that. It made me feel really bad for swimming in it but that's when I realized something. The water wasn’t affected by me at all!” “I see, wait, watch from a distance? So you watched what happened to me earlier?” “I’m not always watching dude. Plus I was showering. And well testing these waters. But it seems you're in the same position as me huh? Like on the streets and everyone doesn’t care?” “Pretty much. Ya \"\"I’m sorry that I took your food, now you won't really have a way to eat.” “It’s fine, don't worry abou’ it. I’m glad I was able to help you in some way.” Sitting up then heading off back to the bench. Still empty. Sitting down on the bench staring up at the sky not really sure if it was because I haven’t eaten in awhile or because I was appreciating nature made me very drowsy. Shutting my eyes I felt pretty at ease but I never got that moment to have deep sleep for I was suddenly knocked off from where I was sitting causing me to instantly wake up looking around to see a noivern sitting on the bench disguised. “This is my bench no one is allowed to sit here, especially you.” “Sorry I’ll go somewhere else. Looking around then finding a spot by a tree and put my stuff there going back to sleep. As I slept it began to rain, making my fur super soggy from not really having anything to cover myself up. But I chose to ignore it because there's nothing I could really do so I just kept trucking through making myself a routine. Staying in the same place as a place to stay and heading up to the lake to have fresh water. At a certain point I started to really be unsure how many days have passed, maybe four or five. I soon came to a deep thought mostly just from my starvation making me grow more and more tired. Eyes half open I saw a group of noivern walk up talking to me I couldn’t understand them clearly. Everything I heard was muffled. They picked me up, taunting me and shaking me around. Maybe they were disgusted with me, all dirty and homeless living in their area, maybe made them look bad so they took out their frustration on me. But I could do nothing but just stare at them. Too tired and weak to really do anything anymore. Maybe I was hallucinating too because I thought I saw a noivern but the areas that should look purple were blue and he wore a heavy sleeveless green coat. The even weirder part was he was attacking them. Causing them to let go of me and everything at that moment felt slow. The moment of me dropping, the fighting happening in the distance it all felt slow and…. Fast for.. some.. reason..\nWarm.. I feel warm.. “Warm?” Looking around I noticed I was in a house, a very comfy one yet small. I must've been sat right in front of a fireplace on a big carpet mostly of the colours green and purple. The center being green while it made a pattern of outer layers of purple then green then back to purple again. it felt soft. And I must’ve been in here for awhile for that my fur no longer felt wet and I no longer felt cold. Behind me was a red door. It looked pretty big and there were two windows next to it but both were covered by purple curtains. There’s that colour again. Purple they must love purple. To my left there were two rooms with the door closed. So whatever was inside of them I wasn’t sure. To my right I would stay near the front of the house. There was a small kitchen and a dining area right next to it, so close you could easily walk back and forth to the kitchen and further towards the back there was an area with couches and shelves filled with books. In one of these couches sat a noivern that was reading a book. The same from earlier? So I wasn’t seeing things. This noivern took me in. Carried me to his house while I was unconscious even. But why? “Oh look who's awake. Are you doing ok little one?” I just nod at him, sorta staring at him but not entirely. I was always bad at making eye contact. Placing the book down he sat up walking towards me smiling. He was huge! With his shadow easily towering over my whole body as he looked down at me. Feeling a bit shy. Scared. I look away and try to crawl. He sits next to me and holds me into his arms, softly petting me, putting me at ease. “I'm not going to hurt you little one, since you’re up now let’s have you take a bath and get this dirt off of you.” His voice was deep yet soft, soft and smooth like butter to where you could feel cozy just to hear him tell you a story. “But first take this.” He hands me a red scarf as gives a soft smile. I slowly grab it, not sure how to react from being gifted. Most just take and take from me. This is new.. “you must be hungry. I Made Tuscan Kale and squash Minestra soup. There are plenty made so do not feel bad for how much you take.” As I try to get up he softly lays me back down “stay where you are at. Be still, You're extremely exhausted. You look like you haven’t eaten in weeks. Gosh.. what have they done to you?” He pats my head sitting up and heading over to the kitchen putting a big portion in a bowl. Once he sat down he began to spoon feed me. Each time the spoon came towards my maw I would aggressively gobble the portion on the spoon down. It felt really really good. And I wanted more and more each bite. I would have my maw open ready for the next bite. “Slow down little one. It’s not healthy to eat really fast. Give time for your body to register and gain strength. The food won’t go anywhere I promise. You’ll be safe and well fed and well rested. You’ll do nothing and relax while I’ll do the rest for you.” Time passed and I went for seconds and thirds even fourths. My stomach just couldn’t seem to fill up. And everytime I wanted more the noivern didn’t complain at all, only smiled and grabbed more for me, going right back to spoon feeding me. I patted my belly to indicate I was full. And the noivern caught onto it really quickly putting the bowl away. He hums a tune as he does the dishes and puts what leftovers he had away in his fridge. I guess he wasn’t hungry? Or was more concerned about me? I’m not sure why, I’m not even important. “Tummy full? Let’s wash your butt up cutie~” he picks me up and as he carried me he patted my back. He carries me into a small bathroom with a good size tub he gently places me down starting up the water flow every so often placing his hands in it seeing if it’s hot. Once he felt that it was he placed me in “agh! Cold! Cold!?” “Oh look, you can speak! I’m Baxster by the way, but you can call me Bax or sickdude~” He gives a smile looking down at me as he pours soap in filling up the bubbles “sick.. dude?” Tilting my head sideways in confusion as he chuckles. “Ya, that’s what the folks used to call me back in the day and I kinda kept it.” “They ‘ade fun of you too din’t they?” He nods then goes back to putting bubbles on me, then begins scrubbing me first with my head to my chest then down to my stomach, he asks me to stand up and he scrubs downwards to my waist then my uh areas. Making me blush a bit as I watch him do so. But he didn’t show any signs of wanting to do anything explicit and actually immediately went to going down to my legs. “You can lay back down. Let me get your feet~” lifting my feet letting him scrub them but he seems to really enjoy scrubbing tha part of me the most for some reason. Afterwards he cared me into a room the one on the left gently placing me on the bed. I was in a very weak state. It was hard to really speak or move. Not that I really talked much anyway. \n“It isn’t fair is it.” Looking up to see Bax looking down at me but more with a stern look and tone It was really off putting actually. “huh?” “The way the public treats you. They act as if you don't exist or an object. Even worse, you're still young and cute. You don’t deserve that. I don’t understand why people act that way but it frustrates me. This world, this system. The way people consider the norm. I can’t stand it.” There’s that word again, I’m honestly not sure why he keeps calling me that. Is there something I’m not seeing or lot’s people aren’t seeing? All my life people look down at me in disgust, even my parents at first.. I just don’t see it. This word. Cute. If I was, would I feel that more people would actually be kind or more appreciative? Maybe? I’m not sure. Does it sound selfish? I just don’t know how to comprehend being called that when I been mostly shunned for my looks or what I do all my life. “To be honest Bax I just deal with it.” “Little one.” “yes?” Bax sits right next to me gently on the bed “If someone leaves the sink running and your the only one that notices,what happens if you do nothing? It overflows. It’s possible that other people saw but did nothing as well. In some situations the best course of action is to do it yourself. If no one else will then it’s up to you to make that change. Do you follow?” “I don’ know how to start Bax.” “You won’t immediately change\" is a slow process little one. Or something like ciao!” Sitting up Bax gives a soft smile before leaving the room, closing the door from behind. This generoucity. Where did it come from? Thoughts went deep into my head unsure just how to make sense why a total stranger went far out of their way for me. But eventually I grow drowsy and pass out. My body must have forced it on me since I couldn’t fall asleep. Gotta sleep somehow huh? But somehow I’m not sure when but when I woke up I found myself somehow in a 180 degree from where I originally were sleeping on.I’m not going to question. I was just stressed or something I don't know. Getting a knock at the door Bax comes in caring a bowl of something hot inside I can’t see what it is from where I’m at when it gets closer to me I easily can see what’s inside. It sorta looks like it has chicken broth in it. “how are you doing? I made some Stracciatella soup, It’s good for.. Gosh ruff huh? Or do you move around alot when you sleep?” blushing abit looking away. “Well stay and relax in here, this can be your room for now.” he hands me bowl and let’s me eat. “There’s plenty so don’t hesitate if you want more.” I did end up having a few bowls that time. Same occurred for lunch and dinner. Having plenty to eat and slowly gaining strength everyday being able to move up abit not having him to rely on Bax having to carry around though I’m mostly in the room only out for certain occasions. Even still I didn’t mind or sort of enjoyed it when someone cared me around. I gain enough strength to fully do things again paying back generosity I help around Bax’s house doing dishes or ask for tasks that I could help around and do. “I know there was a original intent that you had in mind coming here to this village. You aren’t forced to live here. But Also you're free to stay here if you please.” “I don’t ‘ave anywhere else to go. But to be honest I really enjoy all you’ve done for me. I would like to stay..” blushing and looking away “with you” Bax smiles giving a pat on the head as he looks down at me. “Rawr. This will be your room then I’m going to take a nap ok? Your free to do whatever you please.” he leaves the room going to the room on the left. Taking a nap in there for a good while, did he just say rawr out… nevermind. while he was sleeping I grabbed bites to eat then proceed to fall asleep myself not actually waking up until the next morning. Only being woken up by a smell, something did smell pretty good, following my nose to the kitchen to find Bax cooking breakfast. “Rawr~ you're up late sleepy head. I made Frittata!” Rubbing my eyes and taking a seat I observe as he cooks. “I don’t even know what that is.” He gets a portion for the both of us handing me over a plate then sitting right next to me. He’s really good at cooking, it’s really refreshing. I went from nothing to someone that cooks good meals. “Did you sleep well?” Looking away, sighing. “No. my body pretty much forced itself to sleep..” Bax leans closer to me full of curiosity “Oh? Is there something on your mind?” I.. think i’m starting to get feelings for him.. Is this selfish of me but I love his generosity and I don’t want to lose it. I never felt someone treating me like this so much.. But love at first sight I never believe in that but it actually happened to me. I don’t believe it. But there’s no way he feels the same about me.. “No..” blushing and looking away. “Puts his claws above mine softly giving a soft smile Are you sure? “I have a feeling based on the way you've been getty around me.” “Um well..” Since his face was already close in front of me as he looked at me full of curiosity like the way a pet looks at a master. I couldn’t help but. I don’t know just pure in the moment or his cute face I don’t know why I was in the moment giving the quickest kiss on his lips. Making Bax react immediately leaning his head back blushing looking away from me “Gosh.” “agh! I’m so sorry Bax I don’t kno-” before I could even finish he grabs me leaning me close to him sinking his lips into mine as his eyes slightly stare down at me. With his tongue exploring deep inside mine taking it in closing my eyes doing the same with my tongue both of our maws connect with one another as we bond in the moment neither of us saying a word but both had the same decision with ourselves. “Bax. Is… is it ok if I sleep with you tonight..” “Rawr of course we can do that every night if you want. But sometimes allow me to do my own thing during the day sometimes.” “I understand.” Bax pushes the plate more towards me “eat your food first hun before you do. I worked hard on it.” “Of course! I love your cooking!” Bax twitches his claws at his ears. “no need to yell Haail I’m right here. Besides, my ears are sensitive.” After supper passes Bax heads to his room gathering up some belongings moving it right into my new room. I observe everything he does in the comfort of my bed patiently waiting for him. Once he seem to be done my tail wags as he crawls his way onto bed wrapping his arms around me. I unziping his jacket exposing his chest fur I gently rest my head on it feeling safe in his arms. “Yknow Haail, I plan to go shopping in a few days. If you want, maybe you could do a speech to the public about how they behave is pretty uncivil if but remember that’s if you want to anyway I know your abit shy and aren’t to comfortable with something so big but, this could really help open up or if there are other people struggling like you they might stand up.” Pausing for a bit hesitant or shocked to try it out. Bax gently gives a kiss on my forehead and I lean up to his head giving a kiss in his lips before hiding my face back into his chest. He chuckles and then covers me in a way that i’m completely covered by him with the help of his wings allowing me to feel safe and protected. Bax Usually stays up late during the night and sleeps during the day so I felt that Bax would be on guard not sleeping leaving us both possibly vulnerable. Though I’m a light sleeper I could wake him up if I felt scared of something… But is it bad of me wanting protection? All these people against me shoving me far down on the dirt not anyone to go to but rely on myself and fight for myself. Is it wrong of me to wanting someone that they value my life that they would do what they can to protect it? It honestly would give me more of reason to care about my life because someone is willing to risk theres to keep me alive. I don’t want them to sacrifice or anything they mean alot so I don’t want to lose them but if they do what they can value my life by doing something to protect it weak or strong it would mean the world to me. But is that wrong? I’m not sure, I feel like it is but also people take and take from me and I don’t ask for much of people or expect much either but is the things I do ask for is it to much? I lacked receiving comfort and was talked down about my life giving the lowest of outlooks on life and the things around me. But having someone I could go to and value me that I can be open to say whatever and they appreciate me for who I am and they value me for who I am and care that they would keep me out of harm. Is that a lot to ask? Maybe it is? But everyone around me can seem to get it while I’m completely alone. But it seems Bax is different. I'm sure he cares about me. It may be hard for him to show it but I’m sure he means every bit of it and as time goes by itll become more natural. My deep thoughts cause me to pass out. Still unable to sleep properly once again my body took over and caused me to go unconscious tends to happen alot with me huh? Waking up to see Bax still wrapped up around me fast asleep. It felt reassuring or really felt good to not feel alone and getting that comfort I always wanted. Barely moved to make myself feel more comfortable just to see Bax’s eyes shot open looking directly at me it was sorta scary for a second. “Oh rawr~ look who's up early.” he leans in giving me a kiss. “You must be hunger, let me make you something.” “we still have left overs right?” “of course I can warm some up for you. Or would you like to try my famous breakfast pizza?” “temptin’ but shouldn’t let food go to waste.” “Don’t worry, I can eat quite abit on my own. But come with me let me warm you up some food. After that there's a game I think you might like.” “what is it?” “its called Olah.It’s really fun. After we had something to eat Bax has me follow him over to he living room to having me sit down. He hands me over a controller as he turns on the system flipping the stations until he found the right channel. Sitting right next to me we gamed away for a few hours with Bax telling me about the animations in the game and how the operator dies differently depending on the what gun was used or how where they were shot, even sharing details about the lore and which alien species he liked the most. Days went by until eventually..\n“Today is the day Haail are you ready?” Bax softly puts my scarf around my neck as he kisses me on the cheek ready to take me shopping with him. As we head out the door and make our way over to a local market a crowd of noiverns try to buy supplies being sold at the market. Bax tapped my shoulder and points at the crowd indicating now is my chance to try out the speech. He smiles from behind as I make my way towards them but I still keep my distance. … .. “*soft ahem* lady’s and gents.. I’m sure many feel great about the current state you are in if so this message isn’t for you. However, the ones that are in the same page as me. Shunned away feel alone or feel miserable and people go out of their way to push you to the side. Or maybe you see this all unfold but chose to stay quiet about but no full well it isn’t right? Well now is that chance. That opportunity to make a difference and to do something better to not only help the community grow but to be far more welcoming to others. But it doesn’t just stop here. If we really wanted to we could make a significant difference if we spread the word let it grow big allow mayor to see this or even people of the country folks don’t do this for me but for the people around you, around us that truly deserve so much better than this. Step up next to me if you agree.” (Ik for some people Haails strong British accent may be abit hard to read so I made it for in this speech it’s far easier to understand but just know He is indeed saying this in his accent. To where it is understandable for an important moment) The crowd of noiverns remain quiet for a abit not doing anything but only stare at me as I sits there. Some of them laugh and others go back to what they were doing while a small amount take it in. Regardless though non of them step up to me to makes a difference and to be honest.. it really hurt. Once again I failed at something. I can’t do anything right.. “go shopping without me Bax.” “No. You need comfort. I’m going to give you it when we get back to the house. Ok, I can shop later right now you need comfort.” The amount work Bax does for me just to be there for me honestly I don’t understand and can’t fathom. It means so much to me and I honestly cannot thank him enough. As Bax and me make it back to the house I cry into his arms and he holds me tightly I think he was crying to but more because he hates to see me sad and me being sad made him sad. I hate that I did that. I don’t like to be the reason why someone feels sad. “Yknow Haail.. this all takes time. It won’t be instant. That’s very unrealistic.” “How helpful” “love.. it’s a slow progress. But it’s also possible that some people were already moved by your speech but just chose not to do anything.” “But why?” “Dunno people are complicated. But just wait a few days or weeks hun. Rumors may spread and it could reach out to others. I’m sorry if it doesn’t feel like I’m helping or just pointing out the obvious. But I’m trying ok? Alrighty I’m going to go shopping now ok. But just know It takes time. Think of it as needing to grind to be able to beat a boss in a rpg. The small steps are necessary to make it work on the big things.” He gives me a kiss as he leaves to go shopping. When he gets back I help put stuff away and we cuddle for abit. Weeks went by and it still felt like nothing has changed except my trust for Bax has grown. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Little did I know that rumours did indeed spread and people in different towns and cities actually knew about my speech and were making there way over to me one of them being a toxtricity who went by the name “Jodie! That’s me!” This noivern.. he’s very brave but also he doesn’t know what he getting himself into. Maybe if I make my way over to him and protect him he could he could.. fall in love with me! However the town he lives in is only a rumour so hopefully this trip I’m making over barefoot was worth it. Eventually I do reach a town of sorts and look through the markets seeing nothing. Where the hell do I even begin? I head over to a lake and sit and think where to even look. “Oh? I don’t recall seeing you before. I’m Haail Weathers.” “Bingo! You’re even more cuter and adorable in person Haail!” “Huh I think you’re mistaken” “my eyes could never be this mistaken more than my entire life your your beautiful!” Haail only tilts his head as he looks at me with no words. “Cmon let’s go shopping!” “Do you even know w’ere the store is?”\n“Don’t worry Haail I’m actually very familiar with this town I used to live here I know my way in and out from here.” “I guess. Wat we need to go into the store for exac’ly?” “well I’m sure you haven’t been into this store before have you? I’m sure of it by the way they’ve treated you.” Hail just nods at me then looks away from a different direction he’s really not much of a talker but I can still love him and I’m sure the more he’s around me he’ll talk to me for sure! Heading over at the store Haail quietly follows me from behind still not really saying much.I want to have a conversion with him but I’m positive It won’t really go anywhere. Once at the store door entrance I open the door for Haail waving my hand for him to go through. “Thank you” “anything for you Haail.” in the entrance of the store there’s a map on display they made sure to have it right in the middle of the inside entrance so that you wouldn’t miss it. The store is big and in my opinion always felt that the item placement was extremely inconsistent. Though typically theres a radio that plays right next to the desk on the left but It appeared to be static for some reason. It’s never been like that before or at least from how I remember it anyway. “Haail I told you I know where I am going we don’t need the map for directions. Promise you I know exactly where to go.” “I don’t tho, I’m going to keep it with me just in case.” he scans through it before following me from behind. At the front of the store you were introduce to clothes with male on the left female on the right and neutral in the middle.the main stuff that you most likely are interested in like food, electronic, or toys was intentional put in the back as damn marketing gimmick. On the front left were a section mostly of just candy or crisps. Left mid was right where the toys were with action figures, board games , fake weapons, dolls, etc While in the left back was were all the fishing equipment was just perfect for the man made lake that doesn’t even have anything it. I’m so sure they make so much money from that equipment alone… I’m really surprised they still have that stuff since the last time I checked anyway. They could honestly replace it with maybe more interesting stuff or things that may be far more useful like maybe a music area or at least area for guitars. Especially electric. In the middle front or where your eyes are greeted with first is well the good ol boring clothes. So touching...middle section is for spots for well underwears, diapers and socks/bras and stuff in that nature really. Or you could be like me and go around with nothing. There’s no shame in that. Plus my slit keeps everything covered. Not that I wouldn’t mind it poking out. On the middle right is where the frozen food is. In front of it is the the the fruits and veggies so pretty much at the front right. The back middle end is divide into 5 small sections on the far left a spot for rubber related equipment even tires. The section next to it is where the cds and physical copies of movies sit. In the middle is right where the video games, controllers, and pc parts sit. It’s usually crowded in that area the most however, I’m not really seeing much if any people in the store today which is beyond surprising because it’s usually filled with so many people. The last two sections on the right is where the food is. “Let’s go to electronic section. Follow me.” Once we reach the end to the electronic section all the screens remain static. “Huh what the hell is this!?” “an surprise attack. Since your about to die I can introduce myself to you. I’m nickloius but you can call me Nick my abilities name is “radioactive” A machop explains only in a speedo with his arms on his hips really feeling confident. “huh” Hail tilting head in confusion. “Ability?” “L-look I think you got the wrong person. We don’t want any trouble.” “hehe I’m afraid you not necessarily you more like the abomination next to you.” “abominat-?.. Hail! Get behind me!” I’m not sure why I did it maybe pre adrenaline something came to me to put myself in front of Haail. I’m going to protect him to the very end. Maybe he’ll love me more too. “Wha? I didn’ do anythin’ wrong?” “what do you want with Haail?!” An electric bolt flies at me but somehow misses me but close enough to make my fur hairs rise. I have a weird feeling that it was a warning shot. I will protect haail at all costs. It’s been awhile but I call out from deep within.. “Wrong side of heaven! with my whole body glowing and unleashing a power deep inside me this is my ability I’ll show you what I’m capable of! meet my ability!” The power forms the shape of an electric guitar. Hail tilting his head looking next to me full of curious eyes. “Huh what is that?” “This is a stansona, (st-own-yah) It’s a manifestation of power based on someone's heart and mind from within. However When you it is based on what you truly desire at the moment of at the time of awaken. You so whatever ability you end up having you're stuck with it.It will have its strengths and weaknesses. But because It’s from within you whatever you get it serves its purpose. Stans are spiritual and can’t be harmed by people only other stansona” “That so huh let’s see how you do against my stansona! Radioactive! Nick begins to glow as electrical robotic cobra with electronic bolt symbol on their head arms and crotch sorta like a kind of crotch armour all big and very visable that you could’nt miss with the eyes glowing a brownish orange and a colour scheme most yellow with orange patterns on the face, chest, abs. The tail is sorta a part of nicks shadow forming out from it with the further out the snake moved away Nick the long the tail stretched out as the stan approaches Jodie. “With Jodie giving off a confident smirk as he watched the stan approach him he firmly grasps onto his guitar as he play a soft tune before hitting hard on the strings with the sound waves so powerful it caused Nick and Nick and his stan causing them to slam hard onto the sleeves behind them!” Jodie narrates to himself out loud. With the snake being hit by the sound wave first they flew back first with nick following not to far after but his stan was able to grab ahold of nick protecting him against the blast against the sleeves lessing the damage that should have actually been inflicted. “You bastard!” Nick getting up uses his Stan stretch out to reach, tying Jodie around he couldn’t move or even yell. Nick. Smiles big as he squeezes the life out of Jodie taking his time with this not noticing the object on the shelf falling down right down on his back. “With the electric waves that was sprung through my guitar I used the sound waves to hit the electronics from behind you to then bounce back onto you. Depending on how loud the sound is with the mix of how close the high and low pressure travels at it’s distance the closer the object may be the higher pressure may take effect. When sound hits an object some of it abit of it is reflected while the other is absorbed and transmitted throughout that object. With enough of it, depending on how much it could cause an object to move. Like an house shaking from a storm. This is how my stansona works. It controls sound waves to the highest degree however possible to it could hurt me, I am mostly out of harms way compared to others. But in the safe side I can control how far I want it to spread sorta like a spread shot or a slug shot from a shotgun.” Nick smirks getting up and wiping himself off, “I’d admit immediately your Stansona is indeed strong and it would have gave a run for my money too however… every Stan has its downsides and yours… well you can’t fight someone that controls electricity with electricity!” A shock wave forums around Jodie causing to scream in agony while Haail could only helplessly watch a new friend be fried. (Why am I so useless? I cant never be able to accomplish anything without always falling short.) Haail thought to himself -You don’t want to helplessly watch this yes?- “huh whose talking to me?” Haail looks around not seeing anyone around him except for Jodie and Nick. -do you believe you feel more useful if you save your friend? What about your brother or Bax? Do you want to fight for them?- “yes.” -do you believe in yourself that you can do it?- “no. I can’t accomplish anything. When I try to get somewhere it always results in disappointment. I let my family down I let my friends down and… and.. I let Bax down. -Jodie isn’t dead yet. Do you want to help him?- “yes, lend me your power.” -close enough- Haail begins to glow as a creature that looks like an anthropomorphic lizard forms out of him mostly covered in latex with a loincloth and shoulder pads. The lizard was covered by a mask that covered the entire head with a visour making the creature more otherworldly. “I just wan’ to be able to help o’hers.” -Well that’s a good start. Call me. Boston.- “Boston eh? You’re apar’ of me?” -Yes, I been waiting for you to awaken me since you were born. But it is much easier to awaken when under distress.- “since I was born?” -sorry to cut this short but if we don’t do something Jodie is going to die.- Boston picks up one of the items on the ground throwing it at Nick. “Ow! Why do people keep throwing shit at my back!?” He turns around to see Haail and his stansona standing right next to him. “*Whistles* things just got interesting.*Nick uses Radioactive to get nick to levitate as he makes his way towards Haail ready to see how this may play out.\n\nNick. It’s short for Nickolas. I shortened it on purpose. When I was born it was the name my parents gave me and I hated them for it. Because of this stupid name they gave me it resulted in many people around me laughing there heads off at me and how stupid it sounds. Left and right, even sometimes referring to me to that stupid fat jolly man Saint Nick. At a certain point I felt what’s the point of living to keep pushing forward if this the life I live in? To grow up with everyone pushing Down on you? It’s not fair.. until one day… during school. Young Nick reach stood on his tiptoes trying to reach the drinking fountain just barely able to reach his snoot by the fountain as he pushes the button for the water to pour out his tongue stretched out to let him take a sip. “Well well if it isn’t Nickolas.” “Haha” “how pathetic can barely reach the fountain.” “Get em boys” a group of charmeleons say as they push me down kicking at me as I cradled myself on the ground “hah look at him! Such a baby!” “Loser kick him in the head!” -This isn’t right. People beating down on people just because of their name. With me. I’ll stomp on anyone that gets in the way. Believe in yourself I can show- “ya. Sitting my head up getting out of my cradle position being smacked in the head as soon as I do. Spitting out blood. “Fuck this world and everyone who lives in it!” Unleashing my stansona for the first time using electricity on the dragons to point to where they turned a different colour as filled with smoke. But I went abit further it felt.. good. I kept electrocuting them but that wasn’t enough. I took the lives of everyone in the school then to my parents it felt great. I spent my time doing killing many around me and people stopped laughing. It’s honestly there fault for pushing me at this point. Every single one. As I got older I got hired by people for deeds of hunting people down. I didn’t mind to me honestly it gave me an excuse to kill. It’ll never truly be enough until there is no one left. \n\nRadioactive tries to hit Haail but his stansona pushes him out of his way avoiding the attack allowing him to get up to Jodie. “He’s hurt what do we do?” -stall and give me sometime.- Boston puts his claws softly on Jodie causing them to be able to “heal” Jodie’s wound. “Wha? I can heal?” -we don’t have much time but think of it like this. When you get a cut in your body if it isn’t large enough your body can use blood and itself to heal itself up and eventually that wound would disappear. However if the wound is to large it results in that person bleeding out because of the blood not drying up fast enough to seal and allow the body to heal itself. Our ability behaves just like this but far more enchanced along with a mixture of your ice it allows the body to actually be do it’s part in being able to heal and not worrying about bleeding out. “Haail! Your Stansona it’s incredible you have so much pontental with this ability make great use of it.” Haail shrugs “my stan just heals, combat isn’t the specialty.” “No man you got it all wrong team isn’t great without their defense!” Whistling eachos menacingly from behind Haail with Nick using the power from the electronics and light bulbs leaving the room going dark from behind him. -I need alittle more time to fully heal him.- “don’t worry about me Haail I did my part you can still make it. Get a move on now!”Haail stares at Jodie’s eyes as he nods at Haail. Haail nodded back then proceeds to run to left with nick running right pass Jodie”huh? He didn’t go after me? *ahem* …gaining up to Haail with his stansona Radioactive tries to shoot electrical beams off at Haail with. Him swiftly dodging. Walking past the first aisle” “quit Running Haail just accept your fate. And get your damn friend to stop narrating everything happening out loud!” “Haail says nothing as he keeps running now with him up to the second aisle dives into it just barely missing the bolt from Nicks stan as Haail hits the aisle knocking.. ….” “Well well well look whose on the ground this fight in here. I’m not playing anymore.” Charging up a big lightning bolt right at Haail. “Hahahahaha finally! Even though it turned out you had a stansona you still didn’t stand a chance.!” “Does your power source feel weaker here? Are you familiar with this aisle?” Jodie plays a soft tune that starts to get more loud and bold as Haail speaks away. “Haail flips over revealing many rubber gloves that were actually around him to absorb the fatal blow.” “To be honest. I feel abit lucky. If we were much fu’th’r away I don’t think I would ‘ave made it over ‘ere in time. However. Before we made it over ‘ere I took abit of an look at the map paying attention w’ere the game section is. But also me looking allowed me see what else was a’ound the ot’er aisles. You must’ve been to dist’acted to notice w’ere I was running too. as you tried to charge up the bolt but all the rubberin the area actually was absorbing most of your attack al’eady it was enough to w’ere I was perfectly fine.” “Damn you’re right. I.. my stan.. it can’t really.. it’s useless at this moment. And you feel safe here I know for a fact you aren’t going anywhere. But you beat me fair and square and honourably.” “Honourably?? You tried to kill me! There’s no honour ‘ere….” -Nuovoovovovovovovovovovoovovovovovovovovoovovovovovovovovovo (Jodie tune is at its most intense!) ovovoovoooooooo!!!!- Haail does a rush attack of punches all into Nicks crotch extremely hard causing him to fly really far slamming hard into the aisle with it falling ontop of him. With Radioactive slowly fading away. -Inizio- “woah that’s incredible! Haail your Stan..what did it even say? I think that was Italian. No one’s getting up from that he’s definitely dead.” “Tbh I’m not sure what HE said but let’s leave now” Haail uses Boston to heal up the rest of Jodie’s wounds. “hold on let me check. Yep his balls are completely busted damn Haail. He won’t be causing anymore troubles heh.” After he got confirmation they both scramble to leave. “Aye the radios back to normal Haail!” “Well ya the effects of radioactive are gone.” “Ya.. no problem here.” The duo get far enough away to where they felt they were safe “who the hell was that Haail why did he want you dead?” “It’s nothing really. People been giving me a hard time since I was born. This guy’s no different i guess unlike ot’eres he attempted to kill me.” “No this is different. Or well I may not know how things have been going for you but this Nick guy.. someone had to have hired him. To put an end to you.” “Huh what for?” “That speech you made became wide spread that I believe higher ups could be hire to silence you. These attacks are just the beginning Haail.” “I.. I need to get to Baxxy.” “Baxxy?” “Ya my one and only.. ahh I love him so much heh.” “Oh. We should have a talk with this…. Baxxy -.-“ “that’s right. He could maybe help. Or protect me.” “Or he could just leave you and want nothing to do with what you got yourself into. If he does don’t worry I’m here for you and you can always be with me instead of th-” “Bax wouldn’t abandon me I trust him. I’m always by his side and he’s always on mine.” Haails so loyal.. agh why did he just have to end up with.. him.. argh.. this Bax… argh.. this is the first and last time I lose to you Bax… \n\nMy name is Jodie… my last name I won’t mention because it’s.. silly stupid even. Maybe I should change it. When I was younger I wanted to be in band independent even. But it would always resulted being turned down or cast aside because actually wanted to be like my brother. He was so talented such a legend very passionate and proud from all the works he did. I wanted to live up to my brothers legacy but he would always cast a shadow and I was always under it no matter how hard I tried people only thought of me as the little brother or not the lesser good one. Over and over again. It felt miserable regardless if the shadow was intentional or not.. it gave me a really hard time. “Well well if it isn’t Jodie BanJo haha why don’t we just call him Jojo like his brother hahahaha.” “Quit! I am my own person. Stop treating me like someone else!” The sandshrew and the wartortle stop their laughing and look at Jodie annoyed as both walk up to him at eye level. Leaning very close to his face. “Your right. You should honestly give up because you will NEVER reach not your brothers or anyone’s legacy not now and ever.” The wartorle says with a confident smirk. -will you really allow this to be the state you are in? You don’t do music just because your brother does it. This was something you were bounded to do regardless of if you had a brother or not because this was something your passionate about is that correct?- “huh who said that?” Jodie looks around seeing no one else but the three in the band room. -I am apart of you I am speaking to you through your mind Jodie. Don’t fight for others fight for what you believe in. If you accept in yourself allow me to help you.” “heh your right.. maybe I won’t reach my brothers legacy. Maybe I won’t even come close. And to be honest who cares if I’m not able to reach others legacy. Trying to be like others just makes me try to be anything other than myself. I will go down my own path and make my own legacy. Others should honestly do the same!” As I finished my speech it felt great and breathe of fresh air like as if I was out of the sunlight out of a shadow as I began to glow and awaken! Wrong side of Heaven! Me unleashing my power did indeed scare the two boys away but I continued to play anyway making my own tune\n\n“Aye Haail.” A squiritle makes his way over to Haail giving him a hug. “Ben?” “Ya, to be honest I was there when I saw you make the speech. It was a very good speech and I felt convinced even however I was scared. And seeing no one else join honestly pressured me so I stayed where I was but that’s no excuse. I’m sure you felt a lot of pressure to go up a crowd this very same crowd that already turned you away and even hurt you but you chose to make a speech anyway. And even though no one joined you still tried to keep cool with it. I felt horrible. Horrible that I wasn’t there. I’m sure if I did something like it I feel I could have someone like you that I can rely on.hell you already done so even though you were hungry you went out of your way to help me and not let me starve instead. I’m going to be there for you for no on regardless if you want me too or not!” “Thanks Ben that means a lot. We’re actually on our way to my boyfriends house right now actually. Oh this is Jodie.” This squritle unintentionally reminded me of.. of my past I would be a lot less eager to be around this guy if it wasn’t the fact that Haail trusted him to the point to where there hugging. “Yep. That’s me.” The three of us reaches up to Bax’s house with Haail leaving a knock once the door opens a taller noivern with black and blue scale pattern embraces onto Haail with the two of them doing. .. kissing not just kissing but like tongues exploring other persons maws mixing in saliva kissing.. this was awkward as fuck. “Oh heheh sorry about that~ I’m Baxster but you can call me Bax Baxxy Sickdude Rawrman or whatever works.” Bax says giving a soft smile and his hand out for a shake. “Sickdude huh” I’ll go with that because this *sickdude* stole my love argh…,” I just look at him unamused as I refuse to shake his hand. “Not a shaker I see Rawr if you don’t mind I’m going to talk to my boyfriend.” Bax gives a soft smile as he pushes Haail away from both ben and me. “Who are these two Haail.” “Both of them are inspired by my speech Bax” “and you brought them here because?” Jodie steps in “We were attacked earlier today. But Haail is a fighter I’ll give you that. We barely made it but thankfully your boyfriend has healing abilities. I’m here to make sure he’s safe because I believe the speech he made all eyes are on deck with the higher ups. Things will definitely be difficult for now on so I’m making sure he’s ok” “is this True Haail?” Haail nods and Bax holds him tightly letting us inside, “you don’t leave my side ok?” “Yes Baxxy” “Rawr~ wowwie what a good obedient boy.~” I’ve never seen Haail blush so hard in my entire life. “I’m here because I owe him one and plus he could use the company.” Ben says as he twiddles his fingers. “So what’s this ability you been referring to?” “I ‘ave a Stansona Baxxy!” “Ya? A what exactly?” “Heh. A stansona is the manifestation of your inner self in spirit form and the power or ability is reflected by who you are as a person.” I go into more into depth like I did with Haail earlier. “That is very interesting. I wonder what mine would be if I had one? But you came up with the name right? What made you think of that?” “Well sickdude, I thought up of it bc sona means as you yourself as and well the sprite STANDS right next to you so hehehehe.” All three just stare at me unamused. “Shut up it was clever in my head ok? Anyway. There’s group of friends I have that I would like you to meet. They have stansona like me and Haail do. I think they might come really handy. But I suggest we be on our way very soon before we get attacked again.” “We’ll leave tomorrow then” Bax tugs Haail really close as we plan what to do next. \n\nEnd of chapter one.\n\nChapter one outro\nhttps://youtu.be/vx-Lzo9NxAQ?si=GeC_lKtivSo799FW\n\n\nCredits\nInspired by Jojo and abit of persona with my own personal spin really. \n\n\n", "description_bbcode_parsed": "Story was finshed in April 2nd of 2024 but finally got around to uploading it

Chapter One Stars and bars
          Driven into madness? Anyone could be driven to that huh? My name is Haail f. Winters. It’s tradition that the family names us after winter related themes, like for example my brother's name is avalanche. I’m a noivern with mostly white fur with a pink stomach spot that goes up to my chin. With grey eyes and purple inner ears colours with light blue chest fur and tongue. Our family has hot pink star birthmarks that are located on the right side of our necks, only those born of our blood line can have it. But mine is alittle different for some reason it changes colours depending on my emotions. If I’m sad it glows blue if happy it becomes orange if mad it’s red etc
etc. but the weirdest part is it’s only our family that has white fur I’m not sure why it is but I have some possible ideas, could it be I’m a mix hybrid or that I was born of the northern hemisphere regions. It is much colder up there and our family is built for such climates. But again it’s only our family that has white fur all other noiverns are blacked fur. It makes us feel.. out of place. It makes me feel out of place. I hate the public.. every time I go outside it’s nothing but shame or how out of place I am or how ridiculous my name is or how I live up north, my fur, accent.. they’ll use any excuse to drag me down. We live isolated and away from everyone to avoid public outlash. But I made the decision to leave my house and be on my own, maybe just maybe I could eventually get people to be accepting of us, if not for me at least let my little brother have the freedom to be able to go to a public school make friends grow up with those people and live a happy life instead of isolation and alone. My family deserves so much more than this, I don’t care what happens to me through this situation I just want better for my family. “I won’t return until there is change, that is a promise. I’ll make you proud!” Giving them one last kiss and hugs goodbye I make my way over to the western hemisphere. With abit of traveling on foot I finally reached the town called norveta (nor-vet-ah) I’m not sure what to expect since living in isolation all my life makes very unfamiliar with everything outside the realm of it. “Hm ‘ere it is, the apartments over ‘ere thankfully are affor’able enough and not too expensive. The amount I ‘ave saved should allow me to keep up with rent for 3 months that would be enough to cover myself until I get a job ‘ver.” When I say small town I mean really small. Everything is just where you need it so it’s very lacking in vehicles. With housing right next to each other, most of the houses look the same one story house with mostly white walls and red roofs and chimneys.(  like a suburban) Once you pass by the houses you'll be surrounded by an area full of small local markets. Ranging from people selling fresh fruits to vegetables. To selling seeds for farming, even places for toys or cards or if you want try homemade drinks or hot dogs. It appears the town has more of a reliance on its local residents than anything really. But if you decide to take a walk left you reach an actual store though it sorta looks cheap. But if you go to the right you'll see the apartment complex. That's where I need to go. Heading over to the apartment complex stepping inside up to the front desk counter. “I’m ‘ere to move into to my room.” “Uh.. did you register online first” “Yes, I’m Haail Weathers” “you’re Haail Weathers??” The guy upfront laughs hysterically to the point of tears. “An abomination like you?? Are you even an noivern? Fuck out of here I don’t want something like you living here.” “But I don’t know where else to go?” “Not my problem.” The person at the counter getting very annoyed grabs me by the arm and pushes me out, having me land hard on the ground. “And stay out!” Slamming the door behind me and locking it to make sure I don’t try to get in. “I understand I’m sorry.” Grabbing my luggage I start searching for a place to stay by soon spotting a bench. I suppose this will be my new place heading over to it making myself comfortable. I’m not sure what to do.. I know if try to go inside a market or store they’ll probably just kick me out like the apartment complex.. I can’t go back. I made a promise. A promise is a promise no matter what. As the day went on my stomach constantly growls at me but I had to ignore it, and noiverns would either stare at me or look disgusted if they happened to walk past near me. “Hey mr!” “Hm” looking down to my left I saw someone young tugging at my leg. Possibly 7 or 8. “You look thirsty please take my bottle of water please take it.” “Thank you so much” taking in a sip the kid happily watches me gulp it down. “Travis! Get away from that.., thing.” A motherly noivern rushes grabbing her child and back quickly away from me “he’s a noivern like us mommy.” “No it’s not I don’t know what it is” smacking the bottle from my hand as it spills onto the grass. “Nonono” getting on my hands and knees trying the best I can to drink the water before it sinks to the ground “disgusting creature” she says before kicking me in stomach causing me to land on my side in pain. Causing me to whimper in pain. The kid rushes over to me gently putting his hands on where I got hit “see where that store is?” pointing east west of my position “there’s a lake up from there with its water being the most purest. Or at least that’s what mom said. Well my mom gave away my name. What's yours?” “Haail Weather.” “Travis!” She kicks me away again before picking up her child. “Stop helping it.” “He’s not a it mom. And he has a name Haail weathers!” As he’s being cared away he looks to me “don’t forget what I told you ok!?” Giving a nod to what he said as I watched him and his mother disappear probably never to see them ever again. Getting up from the bench I carry my luggage over to the lake. “Woah.. it looks beautiful!” Using my bottle to start filling up as much as I can, getting a sip after sip filling it back up. As I was sipping away a squirtle sees me and swims their way over to me soon tapping on me. “Are you a traveler? Please sir you’re bag, is there food in there. Please help me. I haven’t had anything to eat for days. Please.” My emergency rations.. “Go a’ead, you need it more than I do” digging through my bag he pulls out some of my bars inside my bag munching on them. “thank you! Thank you!” “Is there no fish in the lake?” “No, it's man-made. The reason why it’s pure is because there’s nothing inside the lake. I know what you’re thinking though it wouldn’t be as pure since I’m in it at the moment. Or might be thinking why the hell i'm in it in the first place ""ya pretty much ""I bathe in it sometimes I’m not sure if it’s an ability or something but even though I bathe in it, it doesn’t affect the lake at all. I’m positive if you were to step in the lake you would notice right away that it's being ruined.” “Ability? From you or from the lake itself?” “I’m not sure me possibly” “I see, so you've been exper’mentin’?” “Pretty much, *munch* I’m begimin with a g by the way.” “Haail Weathers.” “Oh like the winter weather climate?” “Ya it’s a tradition. With our family.” “Snow puns as a tradition. How fun. I bet they’re pretty nice folks.” Looking at him a bit, taking a really good look at him, he noticed he had more of a younger Demeter. “You seem quite young to be out on the street. Can I ask what happened?” “Oi! I’m not that young, I'm 18! And don’t say that just because I’m short!..My mother passed away when I was really young and never got along with my father too well. At a certain point I couldn’t take it anymore and ran far far away. I reached a lake then swam and swam until I couldn’t swim anymore and my legs grew numb and aches and I passed out and wound up here. I thought I was free and would be safe here but was instead made fun of and was made ashamed of for feeling out of place. For not being one of them. So I stay over here and watch from a distance. After observing this town for a bit I learned about how this lake is pure and all that. It made me feel really bad for swimming in it but that's when I realized something. The water wasn’t affected by me at all!” “I see, wait, watch from a distance? So you watched what happened to me earlier?” “I’m not always watching dude. Plus I was showering. And well testing these waters. But it seems you're in the same position as me huh? Like on the streets and everyone doesn’t care?” “Pretty much. Ya ""I’m sorry that I took your food, now you won't really have a way to eat.” “It’s fine, don't worry abou’ it. I’m glad I was able to help you in some way.” Sitting up then heading off back to the bench. Still empty. Sitting down on the bench staring up at the sky not really sure if it was because I haven’t eaten in awhile or because I was appreciating nature made me very drowsy. Shutting my eyes I felt pretty at ease but I never got that moment to have deep sleep for I was suddenly knocked off from where I was sitting causing me to instantly wake up looking around to see a noivern sitting on the bench disguised. “This is my bench no one is allowed to sit here, especially you.” “Sorry I’ll go somewhere else. Looking around then finding a spot by a tree and put my stuff there going back to sleep. As I slept it began to rain, making my fur super soggy from not really having anything to cover myself up. But I chose to ignore it because there's  nothing I could really do so I just kept trucking through making myself a routine. Staying in the same place as a place to stay and heading up to the lake to have fresh water. At a certain point I started to really be unsure how many days have passed, maybe four or five. I soon came to a deep thought mostly just from my starvation making me grow more and more tired. Eyes half open I saw a group of noivern walk up talking to me I couldn’t understand them clearly. Everything I heard was muffled. They picked me up, taunting me and shaking me around. Maybe they were disgusted with me, all dirty and homeless living in their area, maybe made them look bad so they took out their frustration on me. But I could do nothing but just stare at them. Too tired and weak to really do anything anymore. Maybe I was hallucinating too because I thought I saw a noivern but the areas that should look purple were blue and he wore a heavy sleeveless green coat. The even weirder part was he was attacking them. Causing them to let go of me and everything at that moment felt slow. The moment of me dropping, the fighting happening in the distance it all felt slow and…. Fast for.. some.. reason..
Warm.. I feel warm.. “Warm?” Looking around I noticed I was in a house, a very comfy one yet small. I must've been sat right in front of a fireplace on a big carpet mostly of the colours green and purple. The center being green while it made a pattern of outer layers of purple then green then back to purple again. it felt soft. And I must’ve been in here for awhile for that my fur no longer felt wet and I no longer felt cold. Behind me was a red door. It looked pretty big and there were two windows next to it but both were covered by purple curtains. There’s that colour again. Purple they must love purple. To my left there were two rooms with the door closed. So whatever was inside of them I wasn’t sure. To my right I would stay near the front of the house. There was a small kitchen and a dining area right next to it, so close you could easily walk back and forth to the kitchen and further towards the back there was an area with couches and shelves filled with books. In one of these couches sat a noivern that was reading a book. The same from earlier? So I wasn’t seeing things. This noivern took me in. Carried me to his house while I was unconscious even. But why? “Oh look who's awake. Are you doing ok little one?” I just nod at him, sorta staring at him but not entirely. I was always bad at making eye contact. Placing the book down he sat up walking towards me smiling. He was huge! With his shadow easily towering over my whole body as he looked down at me. Feeling a bit shy. Scared. I look away and try to crawl. He sits next to me and holds me into his arms, softly petting me, putting me at ease. “I'm not going to hurt you little one, since you’re up now let’s have you take a bath and get this dirt off of you.” His voice was deep yet soft, soft and smooth like butter to where you could feel cozy just to hear him tell you a story. “But first take this.” He hands me a red scarf as gives a soft smile. I slowly grab it, not sure how to react from being gifted. Most just take and take from me. This is new..  “you must be hungry. I Made Tuscan Kale and squash Minestra soup. There are plenty made so do not feel bad for how much you take.”  As I try to get up he softly lays me back down “stay where you are at. Be still, You're extremely exhausted. You look like you haven’t eaten in weeks. Gosh.. what have they done to you?” He pats my head sitting up and heading over to the kitchen putting a big portion in a bowl. Once he sat down he began to spoon feed me. Each time the spoon came towards my maw I would aggressively gobble the portion on the spoon down. It felt really really good. And I wanted more and more each bite. I would have my maw open ready for the next bite. “Slow down little one. It’s not healthy to eat really fast. Give time for your body to register and gain strength. The food won’t go anywhere I promise. You’ll be safe and well fed and well rested. You’ll do nothing and relax while I’ll do the rest for you.” Time passed and I went for seconds and thirds even fourths. My stomach just couldn’t seem to fill up. And everytime I wanted more the noivern didn’t complain at all, only smiled and grabbed more for me, going right back to spoon feeding me. I patted my belly to indicate I was full. And the noivern caught onto it really quickly putting the bowl away. He hums a tune as he does the dishes and puts what leftovers he had away in his fridge. I guess he wasn’t hungry? Or was more concerned about me? I’m not sure why, I’m not even important. “Tummy full? Let’s wash your butt up cutie~” he picks me up and as he carried me he patted my back. He carries me into a small bathroom with a good size tub he gently places me down starting up the water flow every so often placing his hands in it seeing if it’s hot. Once he felt that it was he placed me in “agh! Cold! Cold!?” “Oh look, you can speak! I’m Baxster by the way, but you can call me Bax or sickdude~” He gives a smile looking down at me as he pours soap in filling up the bubbles “sick.. dude?” Tilting my head sideways in confusion as he chuckles. “Ya, that’s what the folks used to call me back in the day and I kinda kept it.” “They ‘ade fun of you too din’t they?” He nods then goes back to putting bubbles on me, then begins scrubbing me first with my head to my chest then down to my stomach, he asks me to stand up and he scrubs downwards to my waist then my uh areas. Making me blush a bit as I watch him do so. But he didn’t show any signs of wanting to do anything explicit and actually immediately went to going down to my legs. “You can lay back down. Let me get your feet~” lifting my feet  letting him scrub them but he seems to really enjoy scrubbing tha part of me the most for some reason. Afterwards he cared me into a room the one on the left gently placing me on the bed. I was in a very weak state. It was hard to really speak or move. Not that I really talked much anyway.
“It isn’t fair is it.” Looking up to see Bax looking down at me but more with a stern look and tone It was really off putting actually. “huh?” “The way the public treats you. They act as if you don't exist or an object. Even worse, you're still young and cute. You don’t deserve that. I don’t understand why people act that way but it frustrates me. This world, this system. The way people consider the norm. I can’t stand it.” There’s that word again, I’m honestly not sure why he keeps calling me that. Is there something I’m not seeing or lot’s people aren’t seeing? All my life people look down at me in disgust, even my parents at first.. I just don’t see it. This word. Cute. If I was, would I feel that more people would actually be kind or more appreciative? Maybe? I’m not sure. Does it sound selfish? I just don’t know how to comprehend being called that when I been mostly shunned for my looks or what I do all my life. “To be honest Bax I just deal with it.” “Little one.” “yes?” Bax sits right next to me gently on the bed “If someone leaves the sink running and your the only one that notices,what happens if you do nothing? It overflows. It’s possible that other people saw but did nothing as well. In some situations the best course of action is to do it yourself. If no one else will then it’s up to you to make that change. Do you follow?” “I don’ know how to start Bax.” “You won’t immediately change" is a slow process little one. Or something like ciao!” Sitting up Bax gives a soft smile before leaving the room, closing the door from behind. This generoucity. Where did it come from? Thoughts went deep into my head unsure just how to make sense why a total stranger went far out of their way for me. But eventually I grow drowsy and pass out. My body must have forced it on me since I couldn’t fall asleep. Gotta sleep somehow huh? But somehow I’m not sure when but when I woke up I found myself somehow in a 180 degree from where I originally were sleeping on.I’m not going to question. I was just stressed or something I don't know. Getting a knock at the door Bax comes in caring a bowl of something hot inside I can’t see what it is from where I’m at when it gets closer to me I easily can see what’s inside. It sorta looks like it has chicken broth in it. “how are you doing? I made some Stracciatella soup, It’s good for.. Gosh ruff huh? Or do you move around alot when you sleep?” blushing abit looking away. “Well stay and relax in here, this can be your room for now.” he hands me bowl and let’s me eat. “There’s plenty so don’t hesitate if you want more.” I did end up having a few bowls that time. Same occurred for lunch and dinner. Having plenty to eat and slowly gaining strength everyday being able to move up abit not having him to rely on Bax having to carry around though I’m mostly in the room only out for certain occasions. Even still I didn’t mind or sort of enjoyed it when someone cared me around. I gain enough strength to fully do things again paying back generosity I help around Bax’s house doing dishes or ask for tasks that I could help around and do. “I know there was a original intent that you had in mind coming here to this village. You aren’t forced to live here. But Also you're free to stay here if you please.” “I don’t ‘ave anywhere else to go. But to be honest I really enjoy all you’ve done for me. I would like to stay..” blushing and looking away “with you” Bax smiles giving a pat on the head as he looks down at me. “Rawr. This will be your room then I’m going to take a nap ok? Your free to do whatever you please.” he leaves the room going to the room on the left. Taking a nap in there for a good while, did he just say rawr out… nevermind. while he was sleeping I grabbed bites to eat then proceed to fall asleep myself not actually waking up until the next morning. Only being woken up by a smell, something did smell pretty good, following my nose to the kitchen to find Bax cooking breakfast. “Rawr~ you're up late sleepy head. I made Frittata!” Rubbing my eyes and taking a seat I observe as he cooks. “I don’t even know what that is.” He gets a portion for the both of us handing me over a plate then sitting right next to me. He’s really good at cooking, it’s really refreshing. I went from nothing to someone that cooks good meals. “Did you sleep well?” Looking away, sighing. “No. my body pretty much forced itself to sleep..” Bax leans closer to me full of curiosity “Oh? Is there something on your mind?” I.. think i’m starting to get feelings for him.. Is this selfish of me but I love his generosity and I don’t want to lose it. I never felt someone treating me like this so much.. But love at first sight I never believe in that but it actually happened to me. I don’t believe it. But there’s no way he feels the same about me.. “No..” blushing and looking away. “Puts his claws above mine softly giving a soft smile Are you sure? “I have a feeling based on the way you've been getty around me.” “Um well..” Since his face was already close in front of me as he looked at me full of curiosity like the way a pet looks at a master. I couldn’t help but. I don’t know just pure in the moment or his cute face I don’t know why I was in the moment giving the quickest kiss on his lips. Making Bax react immediately leaning his head back blushing looking away from me “Gosh.” “agh! I’m so sorry Bax I don’t kno-” before I could even finish he grabs me leaning me close to him sinking his lips into mine as his eyes slightly stare down at me. With his tongue exploring deep inside mine taking it in closing my eyes doing the same with my tongue both of our maws connect with one another as we bond in the moment neither of us saying a word but both had the same decision with ourselves. “Bax. Is… is it ok if I sleep with you tonight..” “Rawr of course we can do that every night if you want. But sometimes allow me to do my own thing during the day sometimes.” “I understand.” Bax pushes the plate more towards me “eat your food first hun before you do. I worked hard on it.” “Of course! I love your cooking!” Bax twitches his claws at his ears. “no need to yell Haail I’m right here. Besides, my ears are sensitive.” After supper passes Bax heads to his room gathering up some belongings moving it right into my new room. I observe everything he does in the comfort of my bed patiently waiting for him. Once he seem to be done my tail wags as he crawls his way onto bed wrapping his arms around me. I unziping his jacket exposing his chest fur I gently rest my head on it feeling safe in his arms. “Yknow Haail, I plan to go shopping in a few days. If you want, maybe you could do a speech to the public about how they behave is pretty uncivil if but remember that’s if you want to anyway I know your abit shy and aren’t to comfortable with something so big but, this could really help open up or if there are other people struggling like you they might stand up.” Pausing for a bit hesitant or shocked to try it out. Bax gently gives a kiss on my forehead and I lean up to his head giving a kiss in his lips before hiding my face back into his chest. He chuckles and then covers me in a way that i’m completely covered by him with the help of his wings allowing me to feel safe and protected. Bax Usually stays up late during the night and sleeps during the day so I felt that Bax would be on guard not sleeping leaving us both possibly vulnerable. Though I’m a light sleeper I could wake him up if I felt scared of something… But is it bad of me wanting protection? All these people against me shoving me far down on the dirt not anyone to go to but rely on myself and fight for myself. Is it wrong of me to wanting someone that they value my life that they would do what they can to protect it? It honestly would give me more of reason to care about my life because someone is willing to risk theres to keep me alive. I don’t want them to sacrifice or anything they mean alot so I don’t want to lose them but if they do what they can value my life by doing something to protect it weak or strong it would mean the world to me. But is that wrong? I’m not sure, I feel like it is but also people take and take from me and I don’t ask for much of people or expect much either but is the things I do ask for is it to much? I lacked receiving comfort and was talked down about my life giving the lowest of outlooks on life and the things around me. But having someone I could go to and value me that I can be open to say whatever and they appreciate me for who I am and they value me for who I am and care that they would keep me out of harm. Is that a lot to ask? Maybe it is? But everyone around me can seem to get it while I’m completely alone. But it seems Bax is different. I'm sure he cares about me. It may be hard for him to show it but I’m sure he means every bit of it and as time goes by itll become more natural.  My deep thoughts cause me to pass out. Still unable to sleep properly once again my body took over and caused me to go unconscious tends to happen alot with me huh? Waking up to see Bax still wrapped up around me fast asleep. It felt  reassuring or really felt good to not feel alone and getting that comfort I always wanted. Barely moved to make myself feel more comfortable just to see Bax’s eyes shot open looking directly at me it was sorta scary for a second. “Oh rawr~ look who's up early.” he leans in giving me a kiss. “You must be hunger, let me make you something.” “we still have left overs right?” “of course I can warm some up for you. Or would you like to try my famous breakfast pizza?” “temptin’ but shouldn’t let food go to waste.” “Don’t worry, I can eat quite abit on my own. But come with me let me warm you up some food. After that there's a game I think you might like.” “what is it?” “its called Olah.It’s really fun. After we had something to eat Bax has me follow him over to he living room to having me sit down. He hands me over a controller as he turns on the system flipping the stations until he found the right channel. Sitting right next to me we gamed away for a few hours with Bax telling me about the animations in the game and how the operator dies differently depending on the what gun was used or how where they were shot, even sharing details about the lore and which alien species he liked the most. Days went by until eventually..
“Today is the day Haail are you ready?” Bax softly puts my scarf around my neck as he kisses me on the cheek ready to take me shopping with him. As we head out the door and make our way over to a local market a crowd of noiverns try to buy supplies being sold at the market. Bax tapped my shoulder and points at the crowd indicating now is my chance to try out the speech. He smiles from behind as I make my way towards them but I still keep my distance. … .. “*soft ahem* lady’s and gents.. I’m sure many feel great about the current state you are in if so this message isn’t for you. However, the ones that are in the same page as me. Shunned away feel alone or feel miserable and people go out of their way to push you to the side. Or maybe you see this all unfold but chose to stay quiet about but no full well it isn’t right? Well now is that chance. That opportunity to make a difference and to do something better to not only help the community grow but to be far more welcoming to others. But it doesn’t just stop here. If we really wanted to we could make a significant difference if we spread the word let it grow big allow mayor to see this or even people of the country folks don’t do this for me but for the people around you, around us that truly deserve so much better than this. Step up next to me if you agree.” (Ik for some people Haails strong British accent may be abit hard to read so I made it for in this speech it’s far easier to understand but just know He is indeed saying this in his accent. To where it is understandable for an important moment) The crowd of noiverns remain quiet for a abit not doing anything but only stare at me as I sits there. Some of them laugh and others go back to what they were doing while a small amount take it in. Regardless though non of them step up to me to makes a difference and to be honest.. it really hurt. Once again I failed at something. I can’t do anything right.. “go shopping without me Bax.” “No. You need comfort. I’m going to give you it when we get back to the house. Ok, I can shop later right now you need comfort.” The amount work Bax does for me just to be there for me honestly I don’t understand and can’t fathom. It means so much to me and I honestly cannot thank him enough. As Bax and me make it back to the house I cry into his arms and he holds me tightly I think he was crying to but more because he hates to see me sad and me being sad made him sad. I hate that I did that. I don’t like to be the reason why someone feels sad. “Yknow Haail.. this all takes time. It won’t be instant. That’s very unrealistic.” “How helpful” “love.. it’s a slow progress. But it’s also possible that some people were already moved by your speech but just chose not to do anything.”  “But why?” “Dunno people are complicated. But just wait a few days or weeks hun. Rumors may spread and it could reach out to others. I’m sorry if it doesn’t feel like I’m helping or just pointing out the obvious. But I’m trying ok? Alrighty I’m going to go shopping now ok. But just know It takes time. Think of it as needing to grind to be able to beat a boss in a rpg. The small steps are necessary to make it work on the big things.” He gives me a kiss as he leaves to go shopping. When he gets back I help put stuff away and we cuddle for abit. Weeks went by and it still felt like nothing has changed except my trust for Bax has grown. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Little did I know that rumours did indeed spread and people in different towns and cities actually knew about my speech and were making there way over to me one of them being a toxtricity who went by the name “Jodie! That’s me!” This noivern.. he’s very brave but also he doesn’t know what he getting himself into. Maybe if I make my way over to him and protect him he could he could.. fall in love with me! However the town he lives in is only a rumour so hopefully this trip I’m making over barefoot was worth it. Eventually I do reach a town of sorts and look through the markets seeing nothing. Where the hell do I even begin? I head over to a lake and sit and think where to even look. “Oh? I don’t recall seeing you before. I’m Haail Weathers.” “Bingo! You’re even more cuter and adorable in person Haail!” “Huh I think you’re mistaken” “my eyes could never be this mistaken more than my entire life your your beautiful!” Haail only tilts his head as he looks at me with no words. “Cmon let’s go shopping!” “Do you even know w’ere the store is?”
“Don’t worry Haail I’m actually very familiar with this town I used to live here I know my way in and out from here.” “I guess. Wat we need to go into the store for exac’ly?” “well I’m sure you haven’t been into this store before have you? I’m sure of it by the way they’ve treated you.” Hail just nods at me then looks away from a different direction he’s really not much of a talker but I can still love him and I’m sure the more he’s around me he’ll talk to me for sure! Heading over at the store Haail quietly follows me from behind still not really saying much.I want to have a conversion with him but I’m positive It won’t really go anywhere. Once at the store door entrance I open the door for Haail waving my hand for him to go through. “Thank you” “anything for you Haail.” in the entrance of the store there’s a map on display they made sure to have it right in the middle of the inside entrance so that you wouldn’t miss it. The store is big and in my opinion always felt that the item placement was extremely inconsistent. Though typically theres a radio that plays right next to the desk on the left but It appeared to be static for some reason. It’s never been like that before or at least from how I remember it anyway. “Haail I told you I know where I am going we don’t need the map for directions. Promise you I know exactly where to go.” “I don’t tho, I’m going to keep it with me just in case.” he scans through it before following me from behind. At the front of the store you were introduce to clothes with male on the left female on the right and neutral  in the middle.the main stuff that you most likely are interested in like food, electronic, or toys was intentional put in the back as damn marketing gimmick. On the front left were a section mostly of just candy or crisps. Left mid was right where the toys were with action figures, board games , fake weapons, dolls, etc While in the left back was were all the fishing equipment was just perfect for the man made lake that doesn’t even have anything it. I’m so sure they make so much money from that equipment alone… I’m really surprised they still have that stuff since the last time I checked anyway. They could honestly replace it with maybe more interesting stuff or things that may be far more useful like maybe a music area or at least area for guitars. Especially electric. In the middle front or where your eyes are greeted with first is well the good ol boring clothes. So touching...middle section is for spots for well underwears, diapers and socks/bras and stuff in that nature really. Or you could be like me and go around with nothing. There’s no shame in that. Plus my slit keeps everything covered. Not that I wouldn’t mind it poking out. On the middle right is where the frozen food is. In front of it is the the the fruits and veggies so pretty much at the front right. The back middle end is divide into 5 small sections on the far left a spot for rubber related equipment even tires. The section next to it is where the cds and physical copies of movies sit. In the middle is right where the video games, controllers, and pc parts sit. It’s usually crowded in that area the most however, I’m not really seeing much if any people in the store today which is beyond surprising because it’s usually filled with so many people. The last two sections on the right is where the food is. “Let’s go to electronic section. Follow me.” Once we reach the end to the electronic section all the screens remain static. “Huh what the hell is this!?” “an surprise attack. Since your about to die I can introduce myself to you. I’m nickloius but you can call me Nick my abilities name is “radioactive” A machop explains only in a speedo with his arms on his hips really feeling confident.  “huh” Hail tilting head in confusion. “Ability?” “L-look I think you got the wrong person. We don’t want any trouble.” “hehe I’m afraid you not necessarily you more like the abomination next to you.” “abominat-?.. Hail! Get behind me!” I’m not sure why I did it maybe pre adrenaline something came to me to put myself in front of Haail. I’m going to protect him to the very end. Maybe he’ll love me more too.  “Wha? I didn’ do anythin’ wrong?” “what do you want with Haail?!” An electric bolt flies at me but somehow misses me but close enough to make my fur hairs rise. I have a weird feeling that it was a warning shot. I will protect haail at all costs. It’s been awhile but I call out from deep within.. “Wrong side of heaven! with my whole body glowing and unleashing a power deep inside me this is my ability  I’ll show you what I’m capable of! meet my ability!” The power forms the shape of an electric guitar. Hail tilting his head looking next to me full of curious eyes. “Huh what is that?” “This is a stansona, (st-own-yah) It’s a manifestation of power based on someone's heart and mind from within. However When you it is based on what you truly desire at the moment of at the time of awaken. You so whatever ability you end up having you're stuck with it.It will have its strengths and weaknesses.  But because It’s from within you whatever you get it serves its purpose. Stans are spiritual and can’t be harmed by people only other stansona” “That so huh let’s see how you do against my stansona! Radioactive! Nick begins to glow as electrical robotic cobra with electronic bolt symbol on their head arms and crotch sorta like a kind of crotch armour all big and very visable that you could’nt miss with the eyes glowing a brownish orange and a colour scheme most yellow with orange patterns on the face, chest, abs. The tail is sorta a part of nicks shadow forming out from it with the further out the snake moved away Nick the long the tail stretched out as the stan approaches Jodie. “With Jodie giving off a confident smirk as he watched the stan approach him he firmly grasps onto his guitar as he play a soft tune before hitting hard on the strings with the sound waves so powerful it caused Nick and Nick and his stan causing them to slam hard onto the sleeves behind them!” Jodie narrates to himself out loud.  With the snake being hit by the sound wave first they flew back first with nick following not to far after but his stan was able to grab ahold of nick protecting him against the blast against the sleeves lessing the damage that should have actually been inflicted. “You bastard!” Nick getting up uses his Stan stretch out to reach, tying Jodie around he couldn’t move or even yell. Nick. Smiles big as he squeezes the life out of Jodie taking his time with this not noticing the object on the shelf falling down right down on his back. “With the electric waves that was sprung through my guitar I used the sound waves to hit the electronics from behind you to then bounce back onto you. Depending on how loud the sound is with the mix of how close the high and low pressure travels at it’s distance the closer the object may be the higher pressure may take effect. When sound hits an object some of it abit of it is reflected while the other is absorbed and transmitted throughout that object. With enough of it, depending on how much it could cause an object to move. Like an house shaking from a storm. This is how my stansona works. It controls sound waves to the highest degree however possible to it could hurt me, I am mostly out of harms way compared to others. But in the safe side I can control how far I want it to spread sorta like a spread shot or a slug shot from a shotgun.” Nick smirks getting up and wiping himself off, “I’d admit immediately your Stansona is indeed strong and it would have gave a run for my money too however… every Stan has its downsides and yours… well you can’t fight someone that controls electricity with electricity!” A shock wave forums around Jodie causing to scream in agony while Haail could only helplessly watch a new friend be fried. (Why am I so useless? I cant never be able to accomplish anything without always falling short.) Haail thought to himself -You don’t want to helplessly watch this yes?- “huh whose talking to me?” Haail looks around not seeing anyone around him except for Jodie and Nick. -do you believe you feel more useful if you save your friend? What about your brother or Bax? Do you want to fight for them?- “yes.” -do you believe in yourself that you can do it?- “no. I can’t accomplish anything. When I try to get somewhere it always results in disappointment. I let my family down I let my friends down and… and.. I let Bax down. -Jodie isn’t dead yet. Do you want to help him?- “yes, lend me your power.” -close enough- Haail begins to glow as a creature that looks like an anthropomorphic lizard forms out of him mostly covered in latex with a loincloth and shoulder pads. The lizard was covered by a mask that covered the entire head with a visour making the creature more otherworldly. “I just wan’ to be able to help o’hers.” -Well that’s a good start. Call me. Boston.- “Boston eh? You’re apar’ of me?” -Yes, I been waiting for you to awaken me since you were born. But it is much easier to awaken when under distress.- “since I was born?” -sorry to cut this short but if we don’t do something Jodie is going to die.- Boston picks up one of the items on the ground throwing it at Nick. “Ow! Why do people keep throwing shit at my back!?” He turns around to see Haail and his stansona standing right next to him. “*Whistles* things just got interesting.*Nick uses Radioactive to get nick to levitate as he makes his way towards Haail ready to see how this may play out.

Nick. It’s short for Nickolas. I shortened it on purpose. When I was born it was the name my parents gave me and I hated them for it. Because of this stupid name they gave me it resulted in many people around me laughing there heads off at me and how stupid it sounds. Left and right, even sometimes referring to me to that stupid fat jolly man Saint Nick. At a certain point I felt what’s the point of living to keep pushing forward if this the life I live in? To grow up with everyone pushing Down on you? It’s not fair.. until one day… during school. Young Nick reach stood on his tiptoes trying to reach the drinking fountain just barely able to reach his snoot by the fountain as he pushes the button for the water to pour out his tongue stretched out to let him take a sip. “Well well if it isn’t Nickolas.” “Haha” “how pathetic can barely reach the fountain.” “Get em boys” a group of charmeleons say as they push me down kicking at me as I cradled myself on the ground “hah look at him! Such a baby!” “Loser kick him in the head!” -This isn’t right. People beating down on people just because of their name. With me. I’ll stomp on anyone that gets in the way. Believe in yourself I can show- “ya. Sitting my head up getting out of my cradle position being smacked in the head as soon as I do. Spitting out blood. “Fuck this world and everyone who lives in it!” Unleashing my stansona for the first time using electricity on the dragons to point to where they turned a different colour as filled with smoke. But I went abit further it felt.. good. I kept electrocuting them but that wasn’t enough. I took the lives of everyone in the school then to my parents it felt great. I spent my time doing killing many around me and people stopped laughing. It’s honestly there fault for pushing me at this point. Every single one. As I got older I got hired by people for deeds of hunting people down. I didn’t mind to me honestly it gave me an excuse to kill. It’ll never truly be enough until there is no one left.

Radioactive tries to hit Haail but his stansona pushes him out of his way avoiding the attack allowing him to get up to Jodie. “He’s hurt what do we do?” -stall and give me sometime.- Boston puts his claws softly on Jodie causing them to be able to “heal” Jodie’s wound. “Wha? I can heal?” -we don’t have much time but think of it like this. When you get a cut in your body if it isn’t large enough your body can use blood and itself to heal itself up and eventually that wound would disappear. However if the wound is to large it results in that person bleeding out because of the blood not drying up fast enough to seal and allow the body to heal itself. Our ability behaves just like this but far more enchanced along with a mixture of your ice it allows the body to actually be do it’s part in being able to heal and not worrying about bleeding out. “Haail! Your Stansona it’s incredible you have so much pontental with this ability make great use of it.” Haail shrugs “my stan just heals, combat isn’t the specialty.” “No man you got it all wrong team isn’t great without their defense!” Whistling eachos menacingly from behind Haail with Nick using the power from the electronics and light bulbs leaving the room going dark from behind him. -I need alittle more time to fully heal him.- “don’t worry about me Haail I did my part you can still make it. Get a move on now!”Haail stares at Jodie’s eyes as he nods at Haail. Haail nodded back then proceeds to run to left with nick running right pass Jodie”huh? He didn’t go after me? *ahem* …gaining up to Haail with his stansona Radioactive tries to shoot electrical beams off at Haail with. Him swiftly dodging. Walking past the first aisle” “quit Running Haail just accept your fate. And get your damn friend to stop narrating everything happening out loud!” “Haail says nothing as he keeps running now with him up to the second aisle dives into it just barely missing the bolt from Nicks stan as Haail hits the aisle knocking.. ….” “Well well well look whose on the ground this fight in here. I’m not playing anymore.” Charging up a big lightning bolt right at Haail. “Hahahahaha finally! Even though it turned out you had a stansona you still didn’t stand a chance.!” “Does your power source feel weaker here? Are you familiar with this aisle?” Jodie plays a soft tune that starts to get more loud and bold as Haail speaks away. “Haail flips over revealing many rubber gloves that were actually around him to absorb the fatal blow.” “To be honest. I feel abit lucky. If we were much fu’th’r away I don’t think I would ‘ave made it over ‘ere in time. However. Before we made it over ‘ere I took abit of an look at the map paying attention w’ere the game section is. But also me looking allowed me see what else was a’ound the ot’er aisles. You must’ve been to dist’acted to notice w’ere I was running too. as you tried to charge up the bolt but all the rubberin the area actually was absorbing most of your attack al’eady it was enough to w’ere I was perfectly fine.” “Damn you’re right. I.. my stan.. it can’t really.. it’s useless at this moment. And you feel safe here I know for a fact you aren’t going anywhere. But you beat me fair and square and honourably.” “Honourably?? You tried to kill me! There’s no honour ‘ere….” -Nuovoovovovovovovovovovoovovovovovovovovoovovovovovovovovovo (Jodie tune is at its most intense!) ovovoovoooooooo!!!!- Haail does a rush attack of punches all into Nicks crotch extremely hard causing him to fly really far slamming hard into the aisle with it falling ontop of him. With Radioactive slowly fading away. -Inizio-  “woah that’s incredible! Haail your Stan..what did it even say? I think that was Italian. No one’s getting up from that he’s definitely dead.” “Tbh I’m not sure what HE said but let’s leave now” Haail uses Boston to heal up the rest of Jodie’s wounds. “hold on let me check. Yep his balls are completely busted damn Haail. He won’t be causing anymore troubles heh.” After he got confirmation they both scramble to leave. “Aye the radios back to normal Haail!” “Well ya the effects of radioactive are gone.” “Ya.. no problem here.” The duo get far enough away to where they felt they were safe “who the hell was that Haail why did he want you dead?” “It’s nothing really. People been giving me a hard time since I was born. This guy’s no different i guess unlike ot’eres he attempted to kill me.” “No this is different. Or well I may not know how things have been going for you but this Nick guy.. someone had to have hired him. To put an end to you.” “Huh what for?” “That speech you made became wide spread that I believe higher ups could be hire to silence you. These attacks are just the beginning Haail.” “I.. I need to get to Baxxy.” “Baxxy?” “Ya my one and only.. ahh I love him so much heh.” “Oh. We should have a talk with this…. Baxxy -.-“ “that’s right. He could maybe help. Or protect me.” “Or he could just leave you and want nothing to do with what you got yourself into. If he does don’t worry I’m here for you and you can always be with me instead of th-” “Bax wouldn’t abandon me I trust him. I’m always by his side and he’s always on mine.” Haails so loyal.. agh why did he just have to end up with.. him.. argh.. this Bax… argh.. this is the first and last time I lose to you Bax…

My name is Jodie… my last name I won’t mention because it’s.. silly stupid even. Maybe I should change it. When I was younger I wanted to be in band independent even. But it would always resulted being turned down or cast aside because actually wanted to be like my brother. He was so talented such a legend very passionate and proud from all the works he did. I wanted to live up to my brothers legacy but he would always cast a shadow and I was always under it no matter how hard I tried people only thought of me as the little brother or not the lesser good one. Over and over again. It felt miserable regardless if the shadow was intentional or not.. it gave me a really hard time. “Well well if it isn’t Jodie BanJo haha why don’t we just call him Jojo like his brother hahahaha.” “Quit! I am my own person. Stop treating me like someone else!” The sandshrew and the wartortle stop their laughing and look at Jodie annoyed as both walk up to him at eye level. Leaning very close to his face. “Your right. You should honestly give up because you will NEVER reach not your brothers or anyone’s legacy not now and ever.” The wartorle says with a confident smirk. -will you really allow this to be the state you are in? You don’t do music just because your brother does it. This was something you were bounded to do regardless of if you had a brother or not because this was something your passionate about is that correct?- “huh who said that?” Jodie looks around seeing no one else but the three in the band room. -I am apart of you I am speaking to you through your mind Jodie. Don’t fight for others fight for what you believe in. If you accept in yourself allow me to help you.” “heh your right.. maybe I won’t reach my brothers legacy. Maybe I won’t even come close. And to be honest who cares if I’m not able to reach others legacy. Trying to be like others just makes me try to be anything other than myself. I will go down my own path and make my own legacy. Others should honestly do the same!” As I finished my speech it felt great and breathe of fresh air like as if I was out of the sunlight out of a shadow as I began to glow and awaken! Wrong side of Heaven! Me unleashing my power did indeed scare the two boys away but I continued to play anyway making my own tune

“Aye Haail.” A squiritle makes his way over to Haail giving him a hug. “Ben?” “Ya, to be honest I was there when I saw you make the speech. It was a very good speech and I felt convinced even however I was scared. And seeing no one else join honestly pressured me so I stayed where I was but that’s no excuse. I’m sure you felt a lot of pressure to go up a crowd this very same crowd that already turned you away and even hurt you but you chose to make a speech anyway. And even though no one joined you still tried to keep cool with it. I felt horrible. Horrible that I wasn’t there. I’m sure if I did something like it I feel I could have someone like you that I can rely on.hell you already done so even though you were hungry you went out of your way to help me and not let me starve instead. I’m going to be there for you for no on regardless if you want me too or not!” “Thanks Ben that means a lot. We’re actually on our way to my boyfriends house right now actually.  Oh this is Jodie.” This squritle unintentionally reminded me of.. of my past I would be a lot less eager to be around this guy if it wasn’t the fact that Haail trusted him to the point to where there hugging. “Yep. That’s me.” The three of us reaches up to Bax’s house with Haail leaving a knock once the door opens a taller noivern with black and blue scale pattern embraces onto Haail with the two of them doing. .. kissing not just kissing but like tongues exploring other persons maws mixing in saliva kissing.. this was awkward as fuck. “Oh heheh sorry about that~ I’m Baxster but you can call me Bax Baxxy Sickdude Rawrman or whatever works.” Bax says giving a soft smile and his hand out for a shake. “Sickdude huh” I’ll go with that because this *sickdude* stole my love argh…,” I just look at him unamused as I refuse to shake his hand. “Not a shaker I see Rawr if you don’t mind I’m going to talk to my boyfriend.” Bax gives a soft smile as he pushes Haail away from both ben and me. “Who are these two Haail.” “Both of them are inspired by my speech Bax” “and you brought them here because?” Jodie steps in “We were attacked earlier today. But Haail is a fighter I’ll give you that. We barely made it but thankfully your boyfriend has healing abilities. I’m here to make sure he’s safe because I believe the speech he made all eyes are on deck with the higher ups. Things will definitely be difficult for now on so I’m making sure he’s ok” “is this True Haail?” Haail nods and Bax holds him tightly letting us inside, “you don’t leave my side ok?” “Yes Baxxy” “Rawr~ wowwie what a good obedient boy.~” I’ve never seen Haail blush so hard in my entire life. “I’m here because I owe him one and plus he could use the company.” Ben says as he twiddles his fingers. “So what’s this ability you been referring to?” “I ‘ave a Stansona Baxxy!” “Ya? A what exactly?” “Heh. A stansona is the manifestation of your inner self in spirit form and the power or ability is reflected by who you are as a person.” I go into more into depth like I did with Haail earlier. “That is very interesting. I wonder what mine would be if I had one? But you came up with the name right? What made you think of that?” “Well sickdude, I thought up of it bc sona means as you yourself as and well the sprite STANDS right next to you so hehehehe.” All three just stare at me unamused. “Shut up it was clever in my head ok? Anyway. There’s group of friends I have that I would like you to meet. They have stansona like me and Haail do. I think they might come really handy. But I suggest we be on our way very soon before we get attacked again.” “We’ll leave tomorrow then” Bax tugs Haail really close as we plan what to do next.
