《Dark Chronicles》CH 45 Frost & Flame pt 2
Advertisement
Frost and Flame continued to lead me through the streets.
"So Frost,Flame where are your parents"
"We don't have any parents"
"What do you mean you have no parents"
"My brother means that the people who gave birth to us are not around"
So their orphans I wonder what happened to their parents.And who takes care of these kids.
"Then who takes care of you"
"Sister Trish"
"Sister Trish, who is she?"
"She's the really nice lady who takes care of us and a bunch of other kids without parents"
"So do you know where your parents are"
"No,We asked sister Trish once where our parents were and she said we were left at the orphanage at a young age"
"So where is your orphanage"
"It's around where you found me and my us,sir"
"Really isn't that I pretty dangerous,"
"It can be at times,but if you know where and who to avoid you can get by,sir"
It sounds like these kids have had experience with those thugs before.Maybe I can help get rid of those thugs after I'm done with my match today.
"Mister were almost to the wall"
"The wall,what is that?"
"It's what separates the slums and better parts of the capital, also known as the nobles district"
As we continue,the building begins to slowly disappear until there are none left only an empty plain and a dirt road.We continue to walk on the empty dirt road,we soon reach the wall.
It's huge it casts a massive shadow over a large section of the barren land in front of it.Ahead of us are two massive steel and wood doors guarded by several squads of men in dirty armor.
Frost and Flame continue to lead me towards the wall until one of the guards stop us.
"Entry is 3 silvers each"
"What 3 silvers last time it was only 1 what happened?"
"The nobles didn't like little shits like you entering their streets so they upped the price.Don't like it go somewhere else"
"It's alright I will pay for us"
I pull the account card from my pocket and summon 9 silver coins from it,And pass them over to the guard.The guard quickly straightens his posture and put's on his most humble face.
"Open up the gates you lazy shits.If there is anything else you need most esteemed lord just ask it of me "

"No there is nothing else"
The guard runs off to join the others that are standing around.
"Mister, you're an imperial lord"
"An imperial lord what's that?"
"There incredibly powerful people that everyone fears because they are the right hands of royalty"
"No, I'm not an imperial lord"
"Then how did you get that card only imperial lords can have those"
Fuck that prince.
"A really annoying person gave it to me"
The gates begin to open up with a cry of rusted steel.We walk past the gates.
Once I'm past the gates I see exactly what I saw in the slums, barren land, and a dirt road.
"Yes we made it past the wall one more time I'm so happy"
"I know brother now we can once again see how the nobles live"
"You guys really want to see the nobles district"
"Yes, sir we can't wait to see all the food of noble,and the clothes, all the cool toys.Mister"
"Stop calling me that I told you my name is Kaito so start using it"
"Yes Miste-, Kaito"
"Let's go ,Kaito I really want to look at all the fun stuff come on, come on"
"Alright let's get going"
It doesn't take us long to reach the buildings.Frost and Flame still after five minutes have their mouths hanging open.
" Are you two going to close your mouths"
"Yeah, Kaito's right I'm going for the food"
Flame runs off to the closest bakery,Frost is still standing near me eagerly looking at a nearby bookstore.
"If you want a book go get one"
"I don't have any money to buy one"
I summon a gold coin from my account card.
"Here take this and go get a book"
"A Gold coin I couldn't"
"Don't worry I have a lot more so go get enjoy yourself"
He takes the coin in his hand like it's a precious bird.I see tears start to swell up in his eyes.
"Thankyou Kaito"
Frost runs off into the bookstore.I find a nice place near a little fountain.I watch Flame run from store to store looking at food,toys you name it,I look over at the bookstore that Frost ran into I see him through the big window out front looking through all the bookshelves.
Once Frost is done picking his book he pays for it and leaves the store.He sees me and begins to make his way over to me. But before he can reach me, out of nowhere two kids came out and start harassing him.Both look to be nobles, one just seems to be talking to frost while the other bigger one pushes Frost around,At one point it get's so violent that the big one pushes Frost onto the floor

I get up to deal with this, but before I can reach them Flame has come out of nowhere and punched the big one to the floor and is now ruthlessly beating him.Once he's done with the big one and lands a few good more hits onto the other one.He grabs ahold of Frost's arm and pulls him over to me.
"Damn rich brats think they can do whatever they want.Kaito I think Frost might be hurt can you heal him."
"It's nothing brother really I'm fine"
"Just let Kaito heal okay brother"
"Ok"
I healed all of his little scraps .
"Okay now then what happened"
"Those nobles were saying I couldn't afford a book like that and that I probably stole it,but when I showed them my change, but they still didn't believe me so they started shoving me that's when Flame showed up and stopped them.I'm sorry Kaito we probably caused you more trouble"
"Don't worry about it I would have done the same thing as Flame so how about we go get a bunch of tasty food before my match at the stadium then you guys show me the rest of the way.Sound good"
"I Like the sound of it"
"Ok"
Flame showed us to a really fancy and nice outside cafe.We each got a crepe and a fizzy drink.Flame was wolfing them down like no tomorrow,while Frost was eating while reading his book.
"Frost what's your book about"
"It's a book about this mage named Mic and how he traveled the world fighting and then cooking all kinds of exotic animals.It's supposed to be based off a true story."
"It sounds interesting, tell me how it ends once your finished"
"Will do"
We continue to eat in peace until.
"There they are, father, the thief and the kid he beat me up"
I turn around to see the same kid from the bookstore with a stocky man the bears some resemblance to the kid next to him.Behind them was a group of city guards and even some butlers with armor plates on.
"So you're the little thief and the brat who hit my son I will make sure you suffer for what you have done"
"My brother didn't steal just go ask the shop owner"
"Oh really because I have the shop owner right here."
I short old man walks out from behind the guards.
"It's true that boy stole that book from my store"
He points over at Frost,who is now clutching the book in his arms.
"NO THAT'S A LIE, MY BROTHER DOES NOT STEAL"
"You can say whatever you want kid but that doesn't get rid of the facts"
The chubby man and Flame start to get into a screaming match.Soon a crowd forms around us
"Kaito can prove that my brother paid for it, he is the one who gave him the money for it"
"Oh yeah and where is this Kaito"
"That would be me"
I stand up from my seat and walk in front of the chubby man.
"So you say that you gave the kids money to buy books but where is the proof we have the owner of the store and my son to back up our side of the story, but you have no proof on your side."
"This is my proof"
I pull the account card from my pocket and hold it up for everyone to see.Everyone fall silent with a shocked expression on their face
"I used this card to give the kids money so they can buy things.Is this enough proof for you"
"You're an imperial lord"
"You didn't answer my question is this enough proof for you"
"Yes, yes, of course, it is great lord.My son must have been mistaken"
"But dad you said we could get away with framing them"
"Shut up child"
I turn to the bookstore owner who is shaking from fear or old age I don't care which.
"Old man are you sure the kids under my care stole from your store or could something else happened"
"My memory, yes my memory is bad it was my mistake please forgive me, lord"
"No harm if you want I could use my magic to fix that memory of yours"
"No, No, my great lord not necessary, thank you for offering"
"Well then if this matter is cleared up me and my young friends here must be going.Frost, Flame collect your things I will pay."
"Yes Kaito"
"Ok Kaito
I walk over to our table and summon 10 gold from my card and place it on the table.The crowd splits for us to leave the little incident.Once were far enough from the crowd the boys start talking again.
"Wow that was incredible Kaito you showed them"
"Thankyou Kaito I'm really sorry I caused you so much trouble"
"You didn't cause me any trouble Frost it was all those assholes so don't give it any more thought.Now are we close to the stadium"
"Yeah where really close we should reach there soon"

Call it a Mission
Palantine and Co. is an unusual company that does its work in an unusual field. But it's attractive enough to out of work Gary Bellamy, and offers decent pay and a good benefits package. But there are a few things a little strange about the local office. The CEO is perpetually out of town, apparently in search of ‘Enlightenment’. His co-workers are involved in research and investigations involve the likes of Bigfoot, ghosts, walk-ins and other supernatural phenomena, for who its not quite clear. It all seems a bit dodgy to Gary but again, good benefits package. Ephram Palantine is having problems of his own. His search for Enlightenment hasn’t been going all that well, has lead down some rather bizarre rabbit holes. It's about to get a lot worse. The employees of Palantine and Co. are themselves hoping their new hire is exactly what they need. Otherworldly phenomena is on the rise. A seven year old girl has gone missing in northern Michigan, and they are sure it involves something that happened to Gary when he was a boy, thirty years ago, not to mention that there have been sightings of same identical dead man on a Lake Erie beach now for several decades. Some might call what Gary and his co-workers are about to get involved in to protect humanity from a world whose borders with other realities are fraying at the edges, incredible and perhaps even insane. Some might call it a mission.
8 95Illusory
There was a girl whose feelings changed the world around her, and with every step little smoke clouds emanated from her feet. Her soul pulled right out of her chest like a long, blue comet with a tail, and swirled around her body like a protective blue flame. When she walked in a tight space the very metal itself around her melted and shifted so that she was walking in a cage of blue light, a cage of her own devising.

Izuku Midoriya was a college student, just trying to get his teaching degree. He had been living in the sam duplex house for a year now and hadn't had any problems with the elderly woman who lived below him. She was a quiet and lovely neighbor. Until she died. Sike, I'm not that terrible guys. She just got put into an assisted living thing. Which meant the bottom floor was up for rent and it didn't take long for Izuku's landlord to find a new tenant, or tenants. Katsuki Bakugou and Shoto Todoroki were the two guys that moved in below Izuku. They were also in a band. A very loud band. Izuku was close to going crazy with all the noise he now had to live with and the two wouldn't quiet down, even after he asked, multiple times. Eventually, Izuku listens to them practice so much, one of their songs gets stuck in his head. He takes out the trash, not even realizing that he was singing it softly to himself. Until the two boys hear him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Izuku threw the bag into the dumpster on the side of the house, softly singing the lyrics that were now stuck in his head. "Hey, that's our song." A voice said from behind him. Izuku snapped his attention to the two guys sitting on the stairs of his front door. "It's stuck in my head because neither of you seem to have common courtesy to practice somewhere else." Izuku snapped back, not wanting to deal with either of the arrogant males.Shoto seemed unfazed by his attitude. "You've got a nice voice." He mused. Izuku eyed him suspiciously, not trusting his compliment. "Thanks I guess." He muttered. "Wanna join a band?"
