Corvus sighed and then smirked,"that`ll be the 'grim defence',besides its the only one left standing...".
Tiamat sighed and moved away from the happy group, without anyone noticing. She moved back to the beach and climbed up the large rocks with Geo right behind her.
"have fun you guys,but theres only one person I want to spend time with right now,I`ll see you around",Corvus walked out of the arena,"where would Tia be...".
AdamS: Well...I'm
gonna treat my new family to dinner! C'mon!
AdamS ran up to Redwaters,
Firemaker, and Rini. Mitch flew quickly after him. Kenkaku slowly walked with
Henry in his arms.
Tiamat sighed
looking out over the ocean. On this very cliff she met Arthur for the first
time...and it all seemed to finally sink in...all the bloodshed all the
war,loss, death, and sorrow.
She sighed deeply.
"Geo...do you ever think
I can ever move on?"
Tia heard a sigh behind her and looked round to see Corvus standing in front of her,his eyes up in the sky.
T.A.X decided to
continue his journey for the past, but wanted to see what was going to happen
next before he did. Maybe someone in the town might know something about his
past that will give him a few pointers of were to look.
That said, T.A.X
decided to wander the town.
Rini was the first to hug AdamS, as soon as he ran up to them. FireMaker shook hands with the young boy. Fu Fu first nussled up agaisnt AdamS leg, then Kenkaku. Redwaters stood by and smiled. It was nice that everyone was getting along so well.
She looked at him
then followed his gaze, looking back to him.
"Cor...?"
AdamS: OK, now that we're all accounted for, let's go to not only the fanciest, but the last, restraunt in town!
Rini: Yay. A party.
Kewl.
Redwaters: Calm down. Lets not get too excited. Don't want to wear
yourself out now, do you?
FireMaker: Aww, come on. Loosen up. This is a
time to make merry. Lets go get drunk.
Redwaters:...haven't changed a bit
have you?
FireMaker: Nope. Both EarthMover and I have be dying for a
drink. No pun intend of course.
"sorry,just still trying to get used to some things...",he sighed and closed his eyes.
"Like?" she brought him down beside her.
"like...Setsuna...like my future and now my past...its just a bit overwhelming right now",he kissed her fore-head and sighed.
She nodded and
nuzzled him.
"least it's over."
"yea...I`d say we should go back to the others but...right now I`d just rather sit here with you",he smiled and kissed her,holding her close to him.
She nestled close
to his chest.
"I might stay here....I don't really have a home other than
what Adam offered..and I don't want to intrude on him and his new family...even
though he said I wouldn't be."
"well in a way,we are a family,you,me,Geo and Joe..we might not be a real one but in a way we`re a family,it wouldn`t be hard to find somewhere to live either...",Corvus put his hand on her head and gently stroked her hair.
She nodded
gently.
"I'm so exhausted..."
"okay we`ll head back to the ware-house in a bit",he kissed her fore-head and held her tight to him.
As they walked
along the street, Firemaker stopped a moment. "Hang on, wasn't there one other
person with us?"
A head popped out from over the side of a half-collapsed
building. "Sorry, old habits die hard." He leapt off the edge and landed next to
them on the street. Smiling, he added, "I'm in for the party."
FireMaker: The more the merrier. (Whispers to Author) Thanks for talking some sense into my wife. Sometimes she just goes off without thinking more deeply.
"would you mind if
I also joined you in your celebrations?",the group turned to see Might walking
up behind them,for having a skull as a head he seemed to look extremely
kind.
---
The wind swept by the cliff face Cor and tia were
sitting but neither stirred,eyes closed and holding each other they had fallen
asleep.
---
Joe meanwhile was doing what any bastard would
do,"lock up youse alcohol pumps cause Joes gonna git plastered
baby!".
Redwaters: Please
do. I owe you much for what you have and will do for us.
FireMaker: Like
I said before, the more the merrier.
Might bowed his head," I owe you all much more though...you can even feel the different atmosphere we have right now,can`t you feel it,peace and quiet,people regaining the lives they lost so few days ago".
Redwaters: Ye..yeah. It seem that my family has been on a long trip somewhere, rather then being dead. I just have to pretend that they will return from their long journey to where ever they might be.
India moved down
beside Arthur with Sokuro in her arms.
"anyone mind if I tag
along?"
AdamS: Yay! More
people for our party!
Mitch: Calm down, kid.
Kenkaku: Hmm..
Henry:
Mou?
Kenkaku: Well, Henry, I think your views of the theory of
interdimensional time travel by way of the 5th dimension are very intrigueing,
but I'd have to disagree.
Everyone looked at Kenkaku.
Kenkaku:
What? Just because he's a cat and can't speak English, he can't have scientific
views?
Everyone continued to stare at Kenkaku and Henry.
There was a laugh. And another. The group turned, and the laughs seemed out of place, like they just didn't quite fit with the voice that carried them. Arthur kept laughing, and to everyone else it sounded strange. He leaned over onto his knees and laughed and laughed. Adam began to grin, then chuckle, and finally he burst into laughter as well. Even the most stoical of the group was no match for the ensuing onslaught, and soon enough they (other than Might, who was content to stand to the side and grin) were simply standing in the middle of the street, laughing at Henry, laughing at Kenkaku, laughing at each other in general. In that moment, what was left of the tension, of the stress and fear and worry, was released and they had not a care in the world, if only for that moment. For Arthur, this meant that he could finally stop thinking ahead, stop planning, stop brooding over his future, and simply live in the moment.
India smiled at
them all, chuckling in her own right.
-------
Geo nudged Tia and
Cor as it began to rain.
Corvus opened his
eyes wearily and looked at the sodden spikes of hair in front of him,"...alright
Geo we`ll get moving..".
---
Might watched as a few passers by
ended up laughing as well,even though they missed the joke,'at last'.
Tia looked at him
tiredly and got up a bit wobbly.
"Alright Geo....okay...I'm up."
The wolf
wagged his tail.
--------
India smirked at Might, even though he
was just a skull she smiled at him. He seemed so loving and caring. Holding out
a hand to him she smiled.
"Hi...I don't think we ever properly
met."
Might took her hand and kissed it like an old gentleman,"I am Might Shicama,the reaper and spiritual guide to these amazing people of Arianna".
India
smiled.
"I'm India Passionflower, Light Realm warrior protecting all who need
it." she looked at him for a moment.
"I have to say this...but the way you
look...like a reaper, however you love every being in Arianna. It strikes me as
weird."
"hah thats in doubt due to the way grim reapers are protrayed but although I may have to gather the souls of these people...my children but I also lead them to where they belong,I have seen generations of people live and die,I watched their lives,some evil but the ones who were good and genuine people...it just made me realise what wonderful beings they are,I love each and every one of my children".
She nodded and
looked at him.
"Indeed...I do see how you love them
all...amazing."
"hah thank you but no,the thing that is truly amazing are these peoples resilience,look at them,they lost many loved ones and mourned but they know to recover they must rebuild and start afresh,thats the main reason why I chose not to leave this place....sorry for my ramblings,shall we continue oh and the felines grasp of the afterlife is very well informed".
Henry:
Mou!
Kenkaku: You don't have to be smug about it, Henry.
Henry:
Mou...
Kenkaku: ...Ah hell, go crazy!
Henry: MOU!!
Corvus pushed open
the door and the couple sat down on the edge of the bed as they listened to rain
hit off the roof of the warehouse,Corvus gently kissed Tias fore-head,"get some
rest...".
---
Might pulled back his hood to show the full skull
and took in a deep breath,"ah the night is young let us get moving".
Henry: Mou! Mou,
mou mou, mou mou! Moooou! Mou mou!
Might: What did the kitten
say?
Kenkaku: He said "Okay."
