《Re: Pessimist》Chapter 13: A Challenge
Advertisement
"So... how are you going to get into the dragon's valley?" My sister so clearly doubted my abilities? I think it's high time to show her what a asshole with an enslaved goddess and an magical index can do.
Sophia isn't a slave, Ewan...
Oh Flare... Flare, Flare, Flare... just how in the world did you confuse us?
Now isn't the time for divine arguements, it's time for an interesting and both stupid method of getting into the valley of dragons. I've already gotten an idea which meets those requirements; I will not speak in anything other than song lyrics or song titles.
Why...?
Because this book wouldn't be interesting if he did it normally.
Book? Sophia are you writing a biography of me? If so then please omit all the parts where me and Flare talk about her mensturation periods, because nobody wants to read that.
ONE TIME! WE TALKED ABOUT IT ONCE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T THINK GODDESSES HAD PERIODS!
Yeah... go ahead and omit. If people do want to know why she's cranky for two months or so however--
Ewan, I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about my periods to Sophia.
I'm pretty sure she already knows.
Wait... you guys couldn't possibly be unaware that we're in a book, are you?
I guess I should have expected that you were writing fan-fiction of us. So what are the pairings? Is it me and my sister? I'm pretty sure Flare has already written that. I'm still very sure that Flare is also my sister.
Sophia writes fan-fiction? More importantly; she writes fan-fiction of US?
Theories aren't fan-fiction and what I'm saying is that we're all in a book! All of--
Sophia...?
I think she suddenly had a surge of new ideas for her fiction and decided to write them all down. I am actually curious what the fan-fiction is like...

"HELLO! ALFRED ARE YOU THERE? YOU ARE CONSTANTLY STANDING COMPLETELY STILL AND IGNORING YOUR SURROUNDNIGS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DON'T SAY YOU'RE TALKING TO A SLAVE AND WIKIPEDIA!" I can't believe my sister would so rudely interrupt a conversation like that, then again if she's related to me I'm pretty sure I can expect that.
"I was talking to my Slave, Wikipedia is writing fan-fiction." Now that I'm back in reality it's time I go ahead with the new challenge I've set! Using only song lyrics I will somehow obtain the ingredients I need.
It's been around twenty minutes of us standing outside what looks like an outpost for the Dragons but it's infact the very valley I'm seeking for my materials. The humanoid guards were a bit creeped out by the fact that we've been standing here for twenty minutes just staring at them. They were quite startled when we actually moved towards them and there was of course... a long awkward silence.
"Hello." Well, it's a song. "It's me."
"You're kidding... this kid is the Dragon Elder?" This guard is really good at dropping information for me to use.
"I cross my heart and hope to die." I don't expect for this to work... but if it does then it will be damn good.
"We apologize for our rudeness,great elder!" They bowed hastily and gestured for me to enter the outpost, me and my sister made our way inside and she still couldn't believe it.
So somehow just saying three lines of song ended up with you becoming a Dragon Elder?
I think this is going to be fun.
"Just how did that work?" Sylvia was facepalming, legitmately.
"Dragons are gullibile idiots who believe whatever you tell them." That's what I can tell from this so far.

Or the dragons sensed your incredibly dangerous presence and just believed you because you only an elder would pose so much of a threat, unless of course they know about the power of Void and they don't believe you.
Oh great, you're back. So what is the fan-fiction about?
Is it me and Ewan? Because I am not comfortable having some sort of story like that with him.
You aren't in a position to be choosing men, Midget.
Well that says a lot then, doesn't it?
Yes it does, you fussy paedophile.
It was a journal.
Which you're detailing how you think every relationship will turn out since you have a love for fan-fiction.
Why did you tell us that we were in your journal?
To record your reaction.
For the journal.
Exactly.
"Where are we headed next?" Sylvia questioned, I suppose that is a good question. Where are going next?
"To the leader, since that's where you mostly get all the main quests from."
"Fair point."

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
