《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 10: The Truth Between the Wellingtons.
Advertisement
As the strange man 'teleported' me to my 'home' I wondered what Tou and Jennifer thought, if they even noticed what had happened to me. When I was sent, it took about 2 minutes to arrive to our destination. "Well, here you are, your home, Wellington~Sama." He said, and bowed his head. In front of me was a large mansion which seemed about 5 times the size of our school. To think this was my true family? I've never known about them as I was sent at such a young age. Even as a child I didn't need the help of my parents because I was able to do everything myself, I forgot everything about them.
When I first came, I saw that the two gargoyle statues at the front gate move ever so slightly and I quickly jumped up, right at the time they lunged towards me. When they both lunged and missed, they fell on the pavement and broke into small pieces, and just to be sure I watched the pieces for about 10 minutes, all the time where the strange man just watched. About after 5 minutes, the pieces started moving again, and with that I realized without seperating the pieces, it would continuously re animate itself. To keep the secret of my SE safe, when it crashed into a dozen pieces, I myself grabbed the pieces and ran 100 metres away for each piece, which was a piece of cake considering how much Sensei made me run.
When I came back the Old Man clapped. "Well done, Wellington~Sama, but wouldn't it have been better to use your ability?" He said, and I scoffed, then ignored his words. As we opened the gates, another trap came where the iron grills of the gate came alive and chased me like heat seeking arrows. Knowing that cartoon law won't work in this situation, I grabbed a stone (Not my magical stone, mind you) and Smashed it into one of the grills, and it exploded. With that an idea popped into my mind. I then ran towards the direction of a forest and as I ran i grabbed small stones on the pavement and precisely threw it at the arrow and making it explode. I was able to detonate all the grills before I was even close to the forest. When I came back, he clapped again, "You should try to use your ability, Wellington~Sama" and with that I was ever more precatious

As I continued walked towards the door, traps sprung here and there, the walkway turning into quicksand, the bushes spitting acid, the floor having trap doors, and all those things, and with all of them I didn't have to use my stone, and everytime he clapped and asked me to use my ability, but I was confused, that why he wanted me to use my SE so badly? Anyhow, I managed to reach the door of the mansion and without thinking, I hit the bell, realizing it was most likely a trap. I then jumped two paces backwards and obviously, too my surprise, something popped up. First off, the bell was actually an eye, most likely of a cyclops, and then the mansion itself came up, with the doorbell on the chimney. "Who Dares Enters Wellington~Sama's house? State your name puny human." And I told him my name. "We-We-~Wellington~Sama? Is it really you? I thought you died 5 years ago! I can't believe you are alive!" And I was confused as hell. I knew this Cyclops?
After seeing all these events I wondered two things. First off what the hell is this? The power of a Soul Emifer? Or is it magic, a well known thing which is linked to soul emifer's power to an extent. Second of all I wondered what th ehell happened 5 years ago. All I remember was someone dieing, I think that my memory may have been erased or someting like that. I then asked the Manlops (Mansion-Cyclops) who the hell was he, because I lost my memory. "Wellington~Sama! I Can't believe you have forgotten about me! Remember me? Your pet? You used to have me around you all this time! And This mansion? Remember? You made this in such a way only you would be able to survive." I then realised that I did have some painful flashblacks as I triggered all the traps. "Well Sorry, but I have forgotten everything that has happened up until now." and the Manlops seemed even more sad.

The old man came, and said, "Wellington~Sama! First off, don't call me old man, I'm still in my late thirties, and second of all, call me Hazen, or Butler , whichever you prefer. Second of all, I too, am your pet, and I was made from you especially for something like this. I can't go into details, because what you told me, but you did tell me that if I was to lose my memories , but still be alive, to take me to the warehouse , and then activate my soul emifer." I then thought many things. First off, who the hell am I? What the hell happened in the past, and how the hell did I know about the SE back then?
After thinking for a while, I decided to trust them, but before anything I asked them, "How should I trust you?" and they both said, "You told us about your favorite Cereal, which you said no one knows, and that is Cinnamon Toast Crunch!" and with that I knew these two could be trusted. I've only told the people who I trust the most about my lust for CTC, hell I would massacre a country for a damn box of Good 'ol Cinnamon Toast Crunch. With that I went towards the warehouse.
When I entered the warehouse, of course, it was rigged again, but it wasn't a trap. It asked me what my FULL name was, my retina scan, fingerprint scan, and my favorite cereal, and I told them all (For secret purposes I can not tell my full name, so hah , haha ;) ) and the door unlocked. With that I saw pictures of me and someone else, but for some reason they were all torn apart, and horrible memories came back to me. I quickly shook them and at the end it said, "Place Yugrik here, AKA your rock" on a sign and under it was a hole that was the exact size of my rock, aka Yugrik.
I then summoned 'Yugrik' and with simply saying its name, it felt 10 times as powerful. It then sucked in my stone and with that everything around me changed. Hazen or Manlops weren't here and it was just me. I then was sent to a pitch black room, with a door, that was shining. With that, I went through the door and all I saw was Red, Fire, and Death. Then To a sign to my right, it said, "Welcome to The Wellington's Hell Resort! Only people of the Wellington family can come, so congratulations, for being the last survivor, Johnny." My mind turned blank. Who the hell am I, came up to me many times, just who the hell am I? Am I a human, a devil, a demon, a hybrid, a what?! Well, I had no clue so I had only one chance of finding out, by going into the resort and learning more. With that, I felt at ease.

My Intergalactic Boyfriend
Rae is an 18 year old boy, with "Fluffy Cat-Like Ears and a Tail", who is going into his senior year in high school at the lowest point in his life. Rae has been relentlessly bullied and tormented for his entire childhood because of his physical differences. When Rae's last bit of hope for a life with meaning is crushed, the Cosmos decides to send him a guide to help him find his Purpose and grant him Love. First and foremost this is a Science Fiction, Fantasy-Adventure story. The story has a strong "Slow-Burn" Gay Romance sub-plot (Male x Male / Boy x Boy) that is central to the events in the story. (i.e. Characters are not going to fall in love with each other immediately.) You will likely find that the pacing in the beginning is intentionally slower than some other stories. To some it may even resemble a slice-of-life / school-life style story early on. This is intentional and is my personal choice for character developement and world-building, but I assure you there will be plenty of Fantasy and Adventure later in the story. Hopefully, the various mix of elements will appeal to a wide range of readers. This story is published only on: RoyalRoad / Tapas / Wattpad This story is published only under the ScreenName: SpuriousSimulacrum
