Wham!
The hollow king slammed his sword into The Oasis again, and the entire building shook. However, the blade just bounced off without leaving even a small mark. The hollow king shuffled back as he tried to keep his hands on his sword. He looked down at his sword as his ethereal form faded away. The clattered to the ground, and he crouched down. Slowly, he turned his back to the building, and then let out a low groan as he sat down and leaned his back against its wall.
Inside, things grew quiet as the hollow king went back to sleep. Pockets, Death, Sentenza, and Ted all looked around at each other.
"So, was that it?" Ted asked. "Didn't seem as bad as you made it out to be."
"He must be preparing something," hissed Sentenza. "No way that was all he can dish out."
Yeah! He was a huge pain bro. Death shuddered. He's combined himself with someone like me. Uh, I mean like another Death or whatever.
"So he's part delivery boy?" Asked Ted.
Pockets laughed, and Sentenza let out a disappointed sigh.
Hey! Now that wasn't so bad Ted. Death applauded. Pretty good joke.
"Thanks, I tried." Ted smirked.
"Is this really the time?" Grumbled Sentenza. "Someone peek out and check where he is."
"Why don't you check?" Pockets asked.
Sentenza looked down at his bruised body then back up at her.
"Right...oopsie." Pockets giggled.
Death plucked his skull off and with a small grown of the wood, opened the door with his other hand. It seemed all the chains and locks were only attached to the door, and not actually holding anything back. Slowly he stuck his head out and looked around.
I don't...ah! He's just..He's sleeping or something. He's lying against the building, and I can't see his sword. Death pulled his head back in and stuck it back on his neck.
"Asleep?" Questioned Ted as he started cleaning a fresh glass with his rag. "Doesn't seem quite like that much of an unstoppable force to me if he's stopping for a nap."
Sentenza spat onto the ground next to him. "Well he was. I wouldn't trust him now either. Seemed harmless when we first saw him."

For those well-versed in the genre, the story should seem familiar. However for those who are new, the culture and technical terms may be bit alien at first. I will possibly post a glossary explaining some of the details if necessary, but hopefully you will be able to explore and understand the world with me as I write about it.
