Part 8 (END)

“Hey! Rise and shine Mr Octopus!”

He groaned in annoyance and tiredness. 

“Go away...”

“Hey! You said to come to your room when I wake up!”

“Later..”

“Come on!!”

Azul isn’t an early bird when it comes to the weekend. You knew that, but he promised you.

“Okay fine, listen. Once you wake up, go to Ramshackle with me. I got headmaster’s permission to go explore other shops Twisted Wonderland has! And I’m not talking about Sam’s Shop. I’m talking about huge stores and many market places and stuff-!”

“Okay, okay I will. I’ll be there at 9. It’s 7 in the morning, y/n, not now. Geez..” he grumbled.

“Alright, alright. I’ll leave you be. But don’t keep me waiting~”

And you went out.

=============================================================

“Are you ready?”

“Yes I am.”

You and Azul were in casual clothing as you prepared to go into the mirror.

“You two remember to contact me, I’ll bring you back!”

“Thanks, Headmaster!”

Taking Azul’s hand to which he blush slightly at the sudden contact, you made a running start as you jumped into the portal with him.

“Slow down!”

“Okay, okay!”

You stared in awe. This looked like a real town.

Cobblestone pavements, many boutique shops ranging from bakeries to shoes to blacksmiths. Rose bushes and trees along the road together with the street lamps. Cottages and houses of all different sizes, the town brought about a tranquil presence.

“Woah..”

“Hm. So he brought us the Rose Kingdom.”

“Wait! Rose Kingdom?!”

You took his hand again and started trudging to the stores.

“Hey! What are you-!”

“Let’s find Trey’s family bakery, and other things to buy, too!”

“You’re lucky I brought my wallet...”

“Don’t worry, I’m paying!”

He jerked to a stop, which halted you too.

“Wha-”

“Didn’t you spend on going to the VIP room yesterday?”

“Yeah, and I did pay right?”

“You have enough money left?”

“Well, I mean, enou-”

“Forget it I’ll pay.”

“Wahhhh! Hey, Azul! You don’t have to pay! It’ll make me feel bad!”

“Feel bad then.”

“Meanie!”

He sighed.

“Don’t waste your money, y/n.”

You sighed in defeat. “Alright, alright..”

You walked around the wide variety of stores.

“Ooh! Azul, look!”

He turned around to face you as he walked over to you, your eyes glued to the window of a store.

“Look! Isn’t that pendent pretty?”

There lied a pendent with only one of its bead, the center of attention, a white pearl carved into a spiral shell, a small diamond placed in the very middle of it. It gleamed under the light.

“Yeah, it is.”

“Ooh, how much is it??”

You looked down to see the price label.

“Irk?!- $200?!?!”

You sweat dropped and sulked. Of course something so pretty would be expensive. 

“Never mind... let’s find something else..”

Azul glanced at you and looked back at the pendent.

“Alright.”

=============================================================

“Wah! Trey’s family is so nice!”

Finally found the bakery, “Clovers’ Bakery”.

His mother knew who you are since being friends with him, Trey talking about you over the phone with his mother. His entire family welcomed you and gave you and Azul a free drink of your choice. You got hot cocoa, while Azul got a hot cup of coffee.

“This coffee’s not bad.”

“I mean, Trey is a good cook on his own. What makes you think his family can’t do better?”

“Not necessarily.”

“Hmmmm. Anyways~”

You gulped down you drink and ate the last piece of your sandwich. 

“You ready to leave?”

Azul sipped his coffee. “Yep.”

“Alright! Bye Mrs and Mr Clover! Take care all of you!”

Azul stared at your huge cheerful grin as you waved goodbye to the Clovers.

Wonder how you’ll react to see his own family.

=============================================================

“Oh my shit, Azul. Look.”

Azul turned around to see a booth stand, children throwing rings, hoping to get them into the bottles.

“ $2 for 10 rings?? To win an octopus plushie??? That’s like 10 times more than that pendent.”

“100 times.”

“I’m lazy to math, it’s the frickin’ weekend.”

“It’s basic math, y/n.”

“Come on let’s go!”

You dragged him to the booth as the vendor smiled at you both.

“Hmm? Oh my! What a cute couple I see here!”

You and Azul blushed in embarrassment. “Oh, we’re just friends!”

The vendor sighed. “Aw. You’d two would be great together though. Ah well. 10 tries?”

“Yep!”

Azul paid the vendor as she passed him the rings. “Good luck!”

Tossing and tossing, you landed at least 4 rings. But... you only had one left.

“Hmmm I’m scared... One more ring in the get the plushie, but if I didn’t..”

“Don’t stress it, y/n. 10 rings for $2, remember. I can pay for another round.”

“Didn’t you always say never waste a cent.”

That’s true, he’s always been cost conscious, but....

“I won’t charge you or ask you to pay me back, okay?”

“Hmmm, alright! But eh, I don’t want to waste my luck here. And I don’t want to restart so....” you passed him the ring. “I put my faith in you soldier,” while playfully saluting. 

“Oh shush. And you don’t have to rely on luck.”

Azul closed one eye, concentrating. You held your breath as he planned.

Finally, after some meticulous calculation and planning he threw the ring.

It landed.

“YES, AZUL YOU DID IT!”

“DON’T HUG ME LIKE WE WON SOME MARATHON!”

“BUT WE DID!”

=====================================================

“Hey, y/n, give me a moment, I want to get something from a store I saw was interesting.”

“Alright! I’ll wait for you here!”

He got up from the bench he was sitting, leaving you alone.

You looked up to the sky as you licked your ice cream he bought for you in one hand, and another to clutch your octopus plushie.

Honestly, it felt kind of embarrassing to be spoiled by your best friend. Well, at least you thought he was your best friend, you hoped he felt the same way too.

You also felt a bit guilty he’s spending money on you and all you do is drag him to other places. But... you wanted to spend the most amount of time with him and all your other friends as... well... you were going to die. 

With a severe Huntington’s disease, you couldn’t think straight. The doctors in your world and twisted wonderland had been doing their very best to make sure they could manage your condition. You’re afraid that in two weeks time, you wouldn’t be able to walk, because you would forget how to.

 You were scared to tell your friends, especially Azul. You wanted to, but deep down you felt like death would really do each others friendship apart. You couldn’t tell him directly that you have problems remembering and doing simple math sums worse than Deuce.

You hated your incurable disease, but you learn to live with it and find joy in every thing in life the best you could.

The staff of NRC knew this, excusing you from gym classes, giving you extra help on homework, exempting you from examinations. You honestly felt like an oddball most of the time and just wanted to live a normal school life.

You stared at your plushie. What if you forget how to feel too? You don’t want to lose your romantic feelings towards the octopus.

“Y/n.”

“Hmm? Oh Azul!”

“Here .”

He handed you a box and opened it. You gasped.

It was the same pendent you saw early in the morning.

“I- Azul, you didn’t have to buy it!!!”

“Well, I’d be seeing you sulking all the time, would I? And I’ll look like a terrible friend.”

You rolled your eyes and smile.

“Whatever. Thanks a lot though!”

He smiled. 

“Your welcome.”

For now, you wanted to cherish the moments you spent with him.

===================================================

Part 3 anyone???

Or just me trying to get rid of many drafts as possible-

Chapter 2: The Smith

“Dang, that took a bit outta me. Maybe I should go grind some more,” Nathan groaned. “And waste more money on buying new gear? Have you forgotten why we’re here?” “Yeah, yeah, I haven’t forgotten. I just don’t like public places. By the way, are you sure this ‘Legendary Blacksmith’ is here? There are way too many vendors around here,” stated Nathan, squinting into the sunlight. The road was filled with people, yelling, and shouting, and talking their lungs out. Vendors were advertising products, searching for people who buy potions, armor, weapons, food, and other types of goods of the like.The streets themselves were lined with different shades of bright colors that stood at you, calling for your attention. The sun was shining bright, and so an unbearable heat had filled the street, but that didn’t stop those shopping. If anything, it drove them to buy more, for the heat made the smell of everything much more apparent, magic, spices, and perfumes dancing across the wind.    The smell of something caught Sam’s nose, making him drool. He almost floated his way toward a one of the little stalls, before Nathan caught his shoulder. Sam turned around, and looked at Nathan with adorable puppy eyes. “Can I have at least one?” asked Sam. It was a little while before Nathan gave in and sighed. “Fine, but we share. I’ll buy us a whole bag. I am kinda hungry anyways.” Nathan had a bad habit of slouching and putting his hands in his pocket whenever he walks, though he had far worse had habits than that. “Hello? Can I get a bag of these special cream buns?” The vendor seemed to be busy, and did not notice that tall figure standing there in the old clothes. Giving a sigh, Nathan pulled out a box, holding cigarettes. He took one out, lit it with his magic, and took whuff from it. It took about five minutes before the vendor realized he was there, in which case the smoke had spread to the vendor’s nostrils. It wasn’t regular cigarette smoke, it smelled more like a bonfire. The vendor stood up, and brushed dust of his apron, and looking at him in surprise. “You want to buy some of my product? I sell at very good price!” “Really. What’cha got to give.” “Twelve copper per bag!” Nathan thought this over, before flipping a shiny gold coin at the vendor. “Here you go. Keep the change. I’m feelin’ real generous today.” With that, he walked off with a wave, and bag in hand. “Wahhhh~ It smells so good!” exclaimed Sam, “Thank you Nate!” “Heh, you know how much I hate being called that,” exclaimed Nathan smiling. He ruffled Sam’s hair, before going deep in thought. They continued walking on, Sam munching on the contents, Nathan occasionally eating a bun or two, when Nathan had a sudden of moment of realization. And turned away from his brother. “What’s wrong?” asked Sam. “...Welp. I don’t know where we’re going… Shit...” There was an awkward moment of silence, before Sam spoke up, “I’ll go find us a map. You stay here. Otherwise you’ll get lost.” Nathan gave a sigh, before sitting down at the side of the street, waiting patiently. Things like this have happened before, which was why Sam took care of Nathan at times. Nathan had been described as lazy, apathetic, and extremely disorganized. That is where my brother are complete opposites, thought Nathan to himself, as he pulled another cigarette and lighting it. He was calmly smoking, hands behind his back, taking swigs of the smoke that emanated from the small white stick, when someone stomped on his groin. Nathan gave a small, “Oof!” before surrounding the person with flames. “What the hell do you think you’re doing!” yelled Nathan, letting his lazy side slip a bit. His eyes were glowing the power of using his flames, when he realized that he held captive a woman, and he pulled in his strength. He had a odd thing about fighting women. Unless they were a terrible person. Or if they bothered his brother. Then he really will kill them. “Hey, let me through! I gotta go do something, otherwise I might have to pay double the fee!” She seemed normal enough, though her eyes a striking shade of red in contrast to her black hair. Nathan took a deep breath to assert himself, before returning his grin. “Oi, you don’t just step on someone’s twinkie without someone giving you shit about it.” “I did? I am so sorry! I sincerely mean that.” “Ugh, just when the day could not get any worse. And no need for you to apologize. You can help me out by doing me a favor. Me and my brother are trying to go to the smithery, where a supposed legendary craftsmith works. Do you know which and where this smith is?” “I do. But I’ll only come on one condition. Take me with you!” It was really obvious why, considering there were money signs almost quite literally written all over her face. This is why it sometimes sucks to have adventurer as a role. But should I add her in? She does seem pretty generic despite her odd eyes, thought Nathan. He had a tendency to judge people by personality then looks, which made him unable to get a girlfriend. Speaking of which she does look pretty cute. He quickly shook the thought denying what his creator had just said out of his head. “Fine. But what can you do anyways?” “I am a magical gunslinger. Happy to help!” She give a cute wink and stuck out her tongue, making a peace sign over her open eyes. “We don’t need a gunslinger.” She was taken aback, as if she was struck by a crossbolt. In fact she actually started spurting a small stream of blood from her head, as if she had been struck by a really weak arrow. “I’m kiddin’. No need to get so serious about it. Jesus, you’re starting to worry me.” I noted the fact that she respond to anything about my use of Jesus. The deities here are much different than back home, and so people would exclaim Ohar, the star god. It would seem there is a universal system of gods, and that they seem to coexist, but there were a lot of similarities from the cultures of Nathan’s original world. “Really?” “Well, it’s just me and my brother, and we both do melee and mid-ranged magic. In fact he’s coming over here right now.” Nathan gave a small wave, and Sam had come over. “So, have you finally found yourself a girlfriend.” “Dude, you know I’m too lazy to do that. I found ourselves a guide. Meet… Um who are you?” “Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, haven’t I. I am Elizabeth Pyrotechnic, though I prefer being called Liz, and I am a magical gunslinger.” “Hello! I am the great Samuel, ready to bring justice out on evildoers!” “Cut it out, I think she means that seriously.” “I mean that seriously too!” Sam stuck his tongue out at Nathan. Nathan rolled, and turned to look at Liz. She does look like a gunslinger, he thought, scanning his eyes over her body, Though that doesn’t mean she has to keep repeating it over like some broken record. She wore an open long leather coat, wearing a simple white shirt underneath. Over that, she had on a pair of plain tan trousers, and a set of black leather, steel tipped combat boots. She would fit the stereotype, if she wore the hat, but instead, she kept her head open, showing her hair, which was tied in a long ponytail. “Pyrotechnic, huh? Well I guess that’s passable. It does say a lot about your family. Let’s see how you live up to that name.” With that, Nathan walked away. Walking behind him were Sam and Liz. “Is he always like that? Seems somewhat cold to me.” “Not once you get to know him. He’s a cool brother, despite his laziness and terrible habit of smoking.” “Yeah, he does seem to be the type who smokes.” “Oi, you can’t judge me for trying to act like a dragon. I’ve seen you wear that mane a couple times” called Nathan over his shoulder. Sam blushed at this comment. “What’s he talking about?” “Uhh, n-nothing. N-nothing you need to kn-know really.” “Oookay. By the way, how did you get your hair in such a brilliant shade of white?” asked Liz. “Hm, nah, that’s just our normal hair” Nathan responded. “So what, are you guys cursed or something?” “You could say it like that.” Sensing the mood the brothers gave, she decided not to pry any further. She continued to give them directions until they arrived. In front of them was a large coliseum like building, that was filled with shops all around it’s edge. In the center was an open courtyard filled with training dummies, some of which were being used. Overall, it was a breathtaking sight for the trio. Even for Elizabeth, for it was her first time here. “Wait, you’ve never been here before?” “Well, um, yeah?” “So there was a possibility of us getting lost.” “Hey, cool it bro.” “I’m on fire. I’m also really angry.” “Haha, I get the pun. Now let us continue on before the Great Samuel has to frost these two imbeciles.” “Still calling yourself that? It does sound kind of amazing, like you are some biblical prophet.” “Hmm? What are you talking about?” Both brothers responded immediately, “Uh, n-nothing. Just a brotherly joke. Heh heh.” The fact they spoke in such sync was stunning, almost enough to ignore the change in topic. “Anyway, I can’t believe you led us here without even knowing what the building looked like!” “I got you here, that was part of the deal.” Nathan glowered at Liz as they entered in the front lobby. The lobby was just as magnificent as the building itself, gold vines running across the solid black wallpaper, almost as if they were real. There was an elven woman sitting behind a large granite counter. Nathan immediately switched to a formal tone. “Hello miss. I am here to get a commission done by a certain blacksmith who goes by the name of Lili?” The elven woman looked at him in surprise. “We do know of a Fae who goes under that name. Do you mean her?” “Yeah, she’s the one I’m looking for.” “Well do you have the money?” “Yeah I do, thank you very much. Why else would I ask for her?” “Well, there is a reason why she did not become famous.” Liz leaned over to Sam’s ear and whispered, “What are they talking about?” “Have you never met a Fae?” Liz blushed. “N-no, not really.” “Well, Fae are usually aggressive, but masterful craft smiths. Even me, a foreigner, knows that.” “U-um, I haven’t really left the city.” “Really? Wowie, so you’re a city native?” “Y-yes.” “Neat! Though I don’t think Nathan’ll like that. I’ll keep it a secret, okay? Show me around later, ‘kay?” Sam winked. “Y-yeah, s-sure.” Nathan finished up  with the elf, and she led them to a barred door, covered in numerous locks. “You might want to stand back.” The elven woman unlocked the locks, and unbarred the door. It was only after the elf opened the door, when a blur of red rushed out grabbing onto the elf’s leg. “Lacháë? Is dinner ready?” the little red swirl asked. “Not yet Lili, I think I got some amazing clients for you.” “Really?” Sam and Liz were mystified by her cuteness, but Nathan stood unfazed by it. Lili turned to Nathan, and smiled a gruesome grin with her sharpened triangle teeth. This sent a chill down Sam’s and Liz’s spines, seemingly taking back their earlier thoughts about her being cute. “Hmmm, seems like you’ve seen through me?” “Well, living with a little brother like him,” Nathan pointed at Sam, “Causes one to be very cautious of cuteness.” Sam blushed in embarrassment. “I can see your point there.” “Hey, what are you two talking about?!” yelled Sam. They both turned and told Sam to shut up. He complied and scooted a bit behind Liz. “So, the reason why Lacháë here brought us to you,” gesturing towards the elf, “Was so that you could make weapons for me and Sam. I got the money here, so ask for any fee you want.” “Hm, I just need the fee for the supplies, and a slight labor fee, at about 20 gold per person. But I need to see whether it’s worth making. Lacháë here will show us a training grounds. Also, do you want any armor done? You seem very, hmmm, bare, in terms of combat.” Nathan turned to Sam. “Oi, do ya want any armor?” Sam gave a little before saying, “Yes! The Great Sam shall have some wonderful armor!” Quite cutely, I may add, which made Nathan slightly wary after confronting Lili. “Which parts do you want me to make? You don’t really seem the type who can wear that much armor.” “Could I get just a chestplate then? And pants to go with them.” At this point, Lili’s and Nathan’s noses almost bled. Shaking their heads, Liz and Lacháë tsked them, and went off to the training grounds. “So what’re we fighting?” “Why, who else? Me!” she announced with a rueful grin filled with sharpened teeth.
