Into The New World

Today's update is brought to you by the Ballad of Edgardo.

So you're taking the sword huh? Well, we might as well follow through.

O'course you looked like the villain, shoving the hero down so we can take his sword. What ever happened to that Marty Sue anyways? Were you even paying attention? Course you weren't, you had other things to worry about.

The world never really moved, but it seemed to collapse in on itself. The carefully laid plans of destiny have been destroyed in a fit of chaos. The sword's yours now. Hold on to it, you never know when it might be taken from you.

No action goes unpunished however. No action at all...

You can feel it, can't you? The sound of freedom, the feeling of chaos being swept over you, and the sight of madness? You earned it.

​

Somewhere a book closes, and in that moment you wake up once again. The world seems hazy, like the key to the truth has been locked.

You're confused, you're scared, you're- awake.

The light of the sun shines through as you stare at the roof of your room with hazy eyes. You're head hurts as knowledge seems to escape you.

What...was that?

[] Think over it.
[] Fuuuuuuuuuck. School.
[] Yeah, screw this shit. You're going back to bed.

OH MY GOD LOOK! IT'S LATER!

***

You feel your head pound as you try a desperate attempt to remember the dream you just had. To know why you had it. You needed to understand, to be able to finally have an answer.

Though at this point you were willing to write it off as you somehow being really high for the past few days.

Eventually you lose track of your thoughts and your mind starts to wonder to well... Life, The Universe, and Everything. It was a simple answer but do you really know the right thing to ask?

Your mind drifts to your mother. Maybe something happened to make her like this? Maybe, just maybe, you should actually put some effort into getting to know her better?

And what about Kibo? She knew as much about this demon shit as you do. You were pretty much the best of friends with the reincarnated hero at this point, even if you did tend to end up on the other side of her boken more often then not.

You also once again came to the conclusion that her name was silly. You shudder in memory of meeting her parents.

And it is thinking about this (Not Kibo's parents. Never Kibo's parents) that has led you to an answer for the weirdness life had taken.

"Fuck that shit I'm out." You grumble, hopping out of bed and getting ready for school.

You wanted a peaceful life, full of silliness and random that had come before this mess. Screw your past life as a overlord, you were Solaire Astora and by the infinite chaos of the dead man's moon were you gonna have fun!
Somewhere out there in the infinite void of creatures man was not meant to know, a bird like omnipotent figure plucks out it's metaphorical feathers in outrage. Apparently you got the wrong idea from this whole mess. You spin your spiritual head and stare directly into the void before putting your now flaming astral hand in front of your third eye and show it a real bird.

You grin as you fly though the air and land on Kibo's balcony. That leap took a lot of practice but after a few broken bones it was totally worth it.

"Hey Kibo!" You yell, throwing her balcony door open. "Are you ready to praise the sun once more?!"

You barley have anytime to dodge before a alarm clock comes flying at you.

"Go away Solaire..." She groans before sitting right up. "Wait Soliare?! What the hell?!"

She quickly grabs her boken from the side of her bed and swings it at you as you dodge while rolling inside her room at the same time.

You take a quick once over at the manga and trophies neatly placed about neatly around her room, a stark contrast to the homework messily scattered on her desk next to a dusty laptop that had definitely seen better days.

Stupid waste of a Christmas present. You spent like five months allowance on that!

Kibo stands menacingly with her boken in her hands, still in her pajamas that seemed loose and baggy around her frame. She swayed ever so slightly, her eyes still not focused on what she was doing.

And that's when an older, familiar mob of blond hair opened the door with a smile.

"Hello? Kibo? Am I interrupting something..." She begins before she notices you. "Oh why hello there Solaire! Let me guess, jumped from the balcony? It's so sweet of you to visit Kibo every morning!"

A shiver crawls up your spine as you stare at the new comer.

"Mom..." Kibo whines, putting her boken down. "Do you have to do this every time had comes over?"

This women may seem innocent but even the innocent have quirks! You'd rather sleep with the legions of the damned before staying in a room alone with her! The legion of the dammed have no idea wether to take offense or not and simply choose to remind you that you are a branded. You choose to remind them of who was not burning in fire.

Alison disapproves.

This is the time for desperate measures. In fact, panicking is a viable option.

[] Run downstairs and out the door while screaming about crazy people
[] Try and hold out until she leaves
[] Withdraw coolly
