Clarity on all ends.
Ladus was silent, a resonance of sorrow and grief encompassing the town for what it experienced at the moment. Contrary to the generally beautiful setting it once was, its compositions were darker, not evil, but void of joy, brightness, happiness. It seemed like a great tragedy had befallen the town, but it wasn't the case for the residence of the townspeople, they rather lived as they regularly did. The darkness only applied to what the town once was, the exteriors nearer the desert which included Gandu's laboratory, the Doctor's residence and other older structures that came with the dawn of the town. Gandu's laboratory wasn't empty, it was occupied by the gang, including Doctor Enitan who had all returned from what was a terrible day at Aterista. The general mood was gloomy, not one person, not even the comic relief personalities trying to light up the place. Everybody just sat, respectively reminiscing on the massacre at Aterista and how they had barely won the elves, almost los
It's over.
Aubrey hovered in the sky beside Tolek, watching them as Tolek raged. The sky rumbled with thunder, an effect of hers following her master's command. "Child, destroy them. Every one of them. Let none live!" Tolek commanded. Like a mindless robot, she sprung towards them with Zeddicus standing in her way. "Audrey." He spoke, but was cut off by a blow from her, crashing him against a tree. The tree cracked with some bones in his body, creating a painful sound that hurt both him and the earth. She did not stop, she pushed further, blitzing towards Colleen. She couldn't react fast enough as an unstoppable force crashed into her, throwing her metres away from the spot she was on, leaving a trail on the earth as she skidded through it. "Audrey, stop." David spoke weakly. She looked at him, then turned, seeing Zeddicus was starting to rise. She made for him, moving at the same speed she did earlier. Before he could react, he felt her palm breeze against his shoulder, and something tackle
No More Secrets.
"Well… Brett. Took you long enough to catch up. So, let's talk.… Friend." Bill relaxed on the chair, slumping his back slowly. Brett rose, his skin reddened with anger. He stepped towards the man and stopped, towering above his resting form. The air in the room was tense. Sarah watched with peculiar curiosity while Scar just stood, seemingly interested with the turn of events. He expected it, anything that had to do with Brett wasn't exactly milk and cookies. Brett finally broke the silence that flooded the room. "Why, Bill? Why?" He found himself asking, although he knew the answer already. Yet, he wanted to believe that his friend had other reasons for what he had done. Bill instantly rose, grazing past Brett and stopped on the wall. He placed a palm on the wallpaper design, tracing the spirals bit by bit, then he spoke. "You know what the smallest unit of life is?" He asked, turning to face them. Then he continued, "Data. Raw, untapped and unfiltered data." He paused for a s
Confrontation, more confrontation.
Bill walked outside the apartment, quietly followed by Scar who eyed him suspiciously. Scar was a man around darkness, he was one around the worst of the worst and he could feel all that from the man before him. His suspicions heightened the moment he asked to talk to him outside, away from his daughter and friend. However, he was going to give him a listening ear. Judging ahead wasn't a known quality of his'. As Bill's feet softly pressed against the concrete pavement on the sidewalk, he stopped. And scar followed right after, stopping at the base of the stairs. Both men stared into each other's eyes. One trying to read the other's mind, the other trying to communicate. Bill knew he made the call for both of them to be out, and he finally decided to speak the words he intended to."Brett told me you're her father. Her biological father."Scar nodded, "Yes.", noticing the smooth transition of indifference to sympathy on Bill's face. "I'm sorry you never knew your daughter in the fir
Safe spaces, mental blocks and final plans.
Silence washed over the darkness, creating a soothing effect. David's eyes were shut as he was afraid to see whatever it was he was inside. His previous experience with his family hadn't done him any good, as the words, "You don't belong here, David." Kept ringing in his head like that new song played in a loop. He was afraid, his mind was shredded into bits, and his heart pounded faster than the regular. He knew he had to overcome this somehow, but he still shut his eyes. Even the bravest and most powerful of men understood the power of fear the moment they tasted it. Suddenly, it felt like the scenery changed and birds chirped across the land. He felt the familiar chirps and slowly eased his firm clasp of his eye lids, allowing the sunlight to flood his vision gradually. He finally opened his eyes, welcomed by the sight of Ladus, his home in the gaming world. He got up, wondering why he was there, knowing he was already home moments ago, even with a terrible experience. He also no
Seventeen Years Later
"Dad?" He asked, his whole body jolting for a split second as he tried to register his presence. His father was alive and he didn't bother checking on him. He reached out to hug him."Please, stop. It's enough for you to torment me everyday with your presence. Now you're feigning affection for me." Brett replied. David drew back realising his father thought he was seeing another hallucination of his. He could see the redness in his eyes that indicated a chronic lack of sleep. He reached out to him, brushing his fingers against his face. He was real, his father was real. "Dad, I'm real. It's really me." He responded. "You say that all the time son. Please. I'm begging you, enough with the torture." He could see the sorrow in his father's eyes. "Dad. I'm being honest with you." He grabbed Brett's hand, using it to slap his own face. The latter drew back, his expression now one of surprise mixed with joy. "How the hell are you… When did you come back?" Were the words he managed to
