《A Side Villain’s Ballad.》012 Thinking
Advertisement
Neidr had been through a lot since he got here, he smiled as he looked at Cito's body. His eyes lit up and he said,
"Finally, some time to think."[Neidr] Ever since he came to this world, he had experienced nothing but strife. Although, he had to admit that everything up to this point was his fault. He had thought himself clever, trying to escape to Rotham as quickly as possible. He had left a note, but had done nary another thing. After all, how could he explain the changes in his personality to his family? Neidr assumed after some time in Rotham the changes would explain themselves away. He could act however he liked here anyway, nobody knew the previous owner of the body.
Neidr just needed to do what he was best at now. Skirt by with nary a consequence. He had never had many grand ambitions, so being a noble was a welcome surprise to him. Especially the rank, the lower, the better. Who would fight with him for a backwoods territory? All he had to do was graduate this school and go back to live the rest of his life in ease.
However, Neidr scrunched his face. The death of Cito Mors was problematic. Although, that old fogey told Neidr and Arrieta they were the last to arrive, Neidr knew the truth. The protagonist would be transferred into the school shortly. It wasn't that the grumpy ol d man was trying to lie to him, rather, he didn't know. Higher ups had pulled some strings to pull this kid in. Well, that wasn't important.
Cito Mors was supposed to be his foil. The protagonist starts out naive, but his roommate Cito Mors cures him of that. This character was a huge factor in the increasingly gritty personality of the protagonist. Now, he was gone. Neidr stared at the corpse and began to think, would the protagonist's path change because of this? Then his mind circled back, Cito Mors was the Protag's roommate, right? Then...

'Won't the protagonist be rooming with me then?'
"Goddamn it."[Neidr] Neidr shook his head, it wasn't time to be thinking of such trivial things. Although, Rotham was lax, it wasn't really kill your roommate lax. If he disappeared, they wouldn't look into it, but don't make it obvious. Neidr proceeded to stomp and crush Mors's bones. Bored, Neidr began to hum a tune using the backdrop of crunching bones as a beat. Only satisfied once it felt as though there were no more bones to break, Neidr emptied a bag, and stuffed the corpse into it. Zipping it up, he made his way back to the portal. Aside from his thought about how to deal with the future, Neidr was in a relatively good mood as he walked down the aisles with a bag hanging on his back. His footsteps felt light, and he had the urge to sing, but that was soon sucked back into his subconscious.
"00960, I've been lookin' all over for ya!"[Arrieta] Neidr stiffened for a moment,
'who the hell is looking for me?' Turning around, he saw Arrieta's familiar face.
'Shit, woman, don't you have better things to do than track me down? I'm kinda busy.'
"Ah, Arrieta, how is the Academy treating you?"[Neidr] She squinted her eyebrows for a second, but then broke out in a smile,
"Real good, you?"[Arrieta] Neidr responded automatically,
"Good."[Neidr] Arrieta slapped his shoulder and said,
"I was kinda rude last time, everthin' happening, forgot to ask yer name."[Arrieta] Neidr threw a casual glance at her, and merely replied,
"Oh, is that so?" [Neidr] Arrieta furrowed her brows again, but then smiled,
"Yep, yep, so, what is it?"[Arrieta]
"What is what?"[Neidr] Arrieta stomped her foot on the floor and yelled,

"Your name, what's your name, dammit!?"[Arrieta] Neidr couldn't hold back a chuckle at that outburst, he calmly responded,
"You didn't have to yell, just ask next time."[Neidr]
"I did and you know it!"[Arrieta] Neidr gave out a low chuckle and said,
"My name is Neidr."[Neidr]
"That's a weird name."[Arrieta] Neidr rolled his eyes at her and said,
"You asked."[Neidr] Arrieta ignored him and changed the topic,
"Whatcha doin?"[Arrieta] Neidr half wanted to annoy this girl further, but didn't really want her hanging around too much.
"I'm going to Rotham to throw something away."[Neidr] Arrieta tilted her head, and said,
"You don't have to go that far."[Arrieta] She pointed towards a trashcan in the hallway. Niedr's lip twitched,
"It's quite personal for me, I don't want anyone to see. It's embarrassing."[Neidr] Arrieta threw on a sly expression and said,
"Oh, what is it? Love letters?"[Arrieta] Neidr threw a contemplative glance towards her and said,
"Yeah, something like that, but there is metal too. I'd like to melt it."[Neidr] Arrieta's face turned red and she said,
"Aren't those important memories for you?"[Arrieta] Neidr contemplated for a bit and said,
"They were." [Neidr]Arrieta nodded her head as if she understood and run up in front of him. She waved at him, urging him forward and said,
"Follow me, I know a good place."[Arrieta] Neidr decided to oblige the girl and followed her for ten minutes when they came across a circular room. It had eight entrances and only a deep abyss like hole in the center surrounded by a small fence. Arrieta ran forward, grabbed the railing and looked down. She said in a low voice,
"My roommate showed me this, it's super-duper handy for getting rid of things.
"[Arrieta] Her arms started to shake , but she continued to look into the pit. After a moment of silence, she turned around with a smile on her face and said,
"At least that's what I was told. Apparently, the school has cast a continuous fire magic in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the tower, but that's just hearsay."[Arrieta] Walking up the hole, Neidr could feel the heat. Looking down, he could see the scorched black walls that descended thousands of feet, ending in a dark blue fire seemingly trying to eat its way further into the abyss. Neidr smiled and threw the bag into the pit. He looked over to Arrieta and said,
"Many thanks, I owe you a couple of favors now. Ask for anything within reason and within my capabilities." [Neidr]Arrieta puffed up her cheeks and said,
"That wasn't very smooth, what a ladies man you turned out to be."[Arrieta]
"It wasn't supposed to be."[Neidr]
'Oh, I said that out loud.'

WISH MOUNTAIN
I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be. Still with me? Great! Let's get to it... WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies. The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast. Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time. The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him. Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better? It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be? From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration. So what can you expect? In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can. The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish. If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...
