《Vanilla Smoke (Blue Exorcist)》Prologue
Advertisement
A person walked along the sidewalk, searching for a certain place in particular. They were hidden underneath a black and purple hoodie and walked close to the building walls, as if not wanting to be seen. The sun was out, and the weather nice, but for all they cared, it could have been raining, in fact, that would have been better. Their head snapped up at the sound of a motor, then a bright pink limo flashed beside them, and almost hit some guy who was stupid enough to stand in the middle of the street. The limo stopped and the guy yelled at the limo like it was their fault that he almost got hit.
The hooded person smirked, wishing the guy had actually been hit, one less dumbass to give people headaches, but with him not dead, one more dumbass to be entertained by. They stopped and hid in a corner alley to watch the most entertaining thing nearby.
The guy that had almost been hit had black hair, bright blue eyes, and then strangely pointed ears. The hooded figure didn't really care what the idiot looked like, they just wanted to what would happen to the loser who had been standing in front of some rich person's pink limo. The door to the pink limo opened up, stopping the other guy in the middle of his rant. Just close enough to hear, the hooded figure listened.
"Well well well, I see the sun's out." A guy wearing the most ridiculous outfit the hooded figure had seen in awhile, now in a theme of white, pink, and purple! They couldn't help but snicker.
"It's a glorious day for new beginnings, wouldn't you say." The clown continued. The hooded figure scoffed, new beginnings always cost something. The clown smiled at the idiot guy, one eye closed, but the guy didn't return it.

The hooded figure blinked, the idiot was carrying something in a long, red bag. A sword, what else could it be. He was also carrying a duffle bag.
"You gotta freaky car, and if you want me to get in, tell me where you're taking me first!" The guy shouted. Interesting, what would a guy like that have to do with some rich clown? And where would they be going together? They could definitely agree with the first statement though, who drives a pink limo?
"True Cross Academy, duh" The clown answer like it was obvious. Ok....? A Rich kid school. Was that dumbass the fuckin' rich clown's nephew or something. By the confused look on the guy's face, he wasn't.
"To True Cross Academy?" The idiot asked.
"Indeed. You see, I'm the director of True Cross Academy. That's the official title anyway." The clown stated, and the hooded figure blinked in surprise. That clown owned a rich/smart kid school? Geez, they hadn't been expecting that.
"Huh?" The idiot responds the most intelligent response.
"Eloquently said, starting today, you are now a full-time student at our prestigious institution." The rich clown said. With that vocabulary, the hooded figure wasn't' even sure that idiot understood what he had said, let alone survive at a rich kid school like True Cross, even if that clown was the director.
Coming from the opposite direction that the hooded figure was hiding, another guy walked out. He had similar bright blue eyes, though his had more of a green tint to them. His hair was a dark brown and had a pair of rectangular glasses. On his face was three moles, he also carried a duffle bag. He wore a tidy school uniform, a rich kid uniform. He gave the other guy a closed eye smile as he approached, no doubt a fake one, but the guy didn't seem to notice.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm so glad this worked out. This way you and I can stay together." The new guy said. If this guy was going to True Cross too, he most likely had a scholarship of some sort.
"Yukio." The idiot stated.
"Thank you for helping us out, Mr. Faust." Glasses, Yukio, thanked.
The hooded person narrowed their eyes. He seemed familiar.
The idiot and Clown exchanged quiet whispers that the hooded figure couldn't overhear, at the end, another confused look pass over Idiot's face.
"Abante gentlemen! True Cross Academy awaits!" The clown exclaimed with sudden enthusiasm, whirling around to face the hooded figure's direction. They pressed himself closer to the brick wall to hopefully not be seen. The idiot let out a sigh, while Yukio was indifferent.
The two boys and the rich clown climbed into the pink limo and they drove off, leaving the hooded figure there alone. Letting out a sigh, they reached into the pocket of their hoodie and pulled out a paper. True Cross Academy, huh. They looked down on the paper before them, a scholarship to none other than True Cross Academy's special school. They had been going to simply burn the thing, but after that, and with nothing better to do, might as well get away to a sheltered place, to sit back, stalk a bit, and learn new things.
Afterall, it's not every day you see an idiot kid with a sword going to a big school like True Cross being enrolled by none other than the school's director. Things would definitely get more interesting. Shoving the letter back in their hoodie pockets, they walked off to catch the next train to True Cross Town. Best not be late on the first day of school.

The Last Breath
When Yezzu first sent his sons to the realm of men, they brought with them the magic of the gods. They created the three kingdoms we now have today being Dremshen, Ex'ol, and Kantillion. In the five thousand years since the gods left, much has changed. Great wars were fought, Universities were built, civilizations were created. One thing remained after the gods' departure though, their powers. Today, the balance of crafting the three gods brought has shifted. In the beginning, each had the same skill as the other, but the magic that was passed down through the millennia has diminished. The struggle for power that started long ago is coming to a defining moment. Plots of war and assassination are being weaved. Don't despair, for we may yet be saved from the disasters to come. Our hope lies in three young crafters. The first is William Divus, who sets out from his small village into the Dremshen Kingdom to study crafting after his father's passing. His questions about his father and his quest for knowledge drive him. Next comes Ehzahn Obasi, an Ex'olian thief with unparalleled skill. He steals for the thrill, no longer needing the rewards that come with it. He has just achieved his lifelong dream, but he will soon learn how much he underestimated the fallout from his daring theft. The last is Ki Soru, the niece of a powerful duke. She showed promise with crafting at a young age, so she had the best training the Kantillion Kingdom had to offer. Ten years have passed since her lessons began, leaving the king unsatisfied with the results. Her life is upended when her new teacher arrives, revealing a secret kept from her that changes her whole life. These three are our heroes. They were born in separate kingdoms under vastly differing upbringing, but each with their own part to play in the challenges to come. Here begins our tale of mischief and misery with only but a sliver of hope.

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
