#i've been to places smack dab in the middle of nowhere

The Sun and Stars(💕)

So, an idea I've been tossing around for the last little while in S&TF has been Nezuko creating her own Breath Style. Specifically mixing Sun and Sound Breathing as the main bases. And, as you can probably guess, this Breath Style is going to be called Star Breathing.

And earlier this week, I just realized the genius poetry behind the three Breath Styles named after celestial bodies(Sun, Moon, and Stars)!

The Sun is the brightest and closest light we have in our universe. Sun Breathing is the most powerful Breath Style.

The moon's light comes from reflecting the sun. Bright, but not nearly as much as the sun. Michikatsu was powerful, but still could never match Yoriichi despite being his twin(reflection). And I believe Moon Breathing is the second most powerful Breath Style, even before the Blood Demon Art modifications.

And the stars are just as powerful as the sun, they're just farther away and we can't see them when the sun is out. But when they do get to shine, they're just as brilliant. Nezuko, being trained by an ex-shinobi and three ex-kunoichi, has been taught skills to disappear and strike from a distance. And despite having a similar potential to Tanjirou, Nezuko is going to be mostly disregarded by Muzan whenever Tanjirou is close by. But Sun Breathing is in her blood, the same as her brother and father.

TL; DR, Moon reflects Sun but not as powerful, but Stars shine with their own power despite being outshined by the sun.

And I think this will especially create a fun parallel between the Nighttime Breath Users(Kokushibo and Nezuko). But I'll leave that for another time!

How’s knob year treating you? Admittedly it’s been a couple decades since I last called PT barracks home. Well, prison was more like it.

El Cid is a great place to be from, but royally sucks ass to be at. The good ol’ Alcatraz on the Ashley as I was taught to call it.

Ah, the Citadel. I am no longer there, due to medical reasons. I managed to wrangle the medical discharge to a personal so I can go back if I want.

I'm at MMI now, so still at a military college, but instead of it being literal prison we are just smack dab In the middle of nowhere AL. Funnily enough, as i type this answer, I'm stuck at a mandatory basketball game.

My time at the Citadel wasn't horrible, I made some good friends that I still keep in touch with, but there was an extreme amount of hazing, for lack of a better word, that was going on.

If I don't get a scholarship to Auburn for flight school or get the internship I'm going for, I might go back as a national guardsman, which would handle tuition issues and I wouldn't technically be part of the corps, so none of the BS. But I've got two years to figure that out.

On a final note, it's interesting to see another bulldog here.

The breaking of the fork caught the attention of the Evoline siblings, Kira was about to ask him if he was okay when he got up and left.

"Wow, what's his problem?"

"Fuck if I know. He was fine before you two barged 'n."

Where does mom find these guys? There's always something wrong with them...

The people around the table getting their alcoholic beverages would look somewhat bewildered by Kefla's sudden approach, seemingly able to tell that he is angry and giving him room to breath. That was until he made his way to the exit, passing Riisovaak and Lokaavkrii on the way there.

"Is that the mortal you've been talking about Rii? He seems to be angered over something."

"Yeah, that's the mortal I've been talking about Loka. Fine looking man ain't he? Got a nice temper to him."

"That temper reminds me of you and not in a good way."

Meanwhile on the balcony, the sudden surge of anger proved beneficial for the Evolinaa being tormented my the destroyers. A short snap the led to her decking him smack dab in the middle of his face. Something that knocked Leviathan out and somewhat surprised Neriah.

"Fuck off!"

"Oh my... I suggest you leave before he gets back up or you shred someone young one."

Though Azura was already leaving, continuing her search for Kefla so that they could leave this horrid event. She regretted caving in and agreeing to bring him here, she didn't regret knocking out Leviathan though.

Come on, where are you?

Azura would think to herself as she shifted through the crowed, avoiding those of her family as she would text her children later to explain the sudden absence.

Did he leave? I don't blame him if he did, this place sucks.

Her internal monolog would continue speaking, she would make her way back onto the deck and simply jump over the railing. Landing on the ground neatly before walking to her truck, pulling out her holo-phone to shoot him a text.

[Azura]- Hey, where are you? I've been looking for you and your nowhere to be found here.

[Azura]- Did you leave?

No, this is not an option of the Kus. The only reason he can store food was thanks to his ability to manipulate time. So, he had two choices now. To tell the truth about this ability or to lie, which he was the worst at. Well, what was the worst that could happen when she learned he could manipulate time? Willing to put his trust into the woman, he decided to tell her the truth.

— The Kus can't freeze the time of something. I can, though. That's the only reason I can store food in it. I freeze it's time after cooking or buying it and if I want to eat something. I take it out, and resume it's time to eat it.

For some reason, when he killed the hideous thing. He felt like he could control time. That he could do anything he wanted as long as he had a clear idea in his mind. If he wanted, he could easily make someone five years younger. Though, he'd probably be seen as a witch and someone to avoid if he did such.

His lips turned into a smile when she clarified that the ring was perfect for her finger. A little gift that would most likely put her in a better mood, he hoped at least. Despite her savage and fiery temperament, she was not a bad person. She was understandably in an awful mood because of her marriage going down the flush.

Not a word said when she was admiring the ring he just gave her. Still, there was the chance that this gift would make the situation harder for her when she returned to her home. Be it her husband noticing the ring or her growing unable to forget about his person. He made a mistake giving her the ring, but it was too late to take it now. He just had to hope she would not be put on the spot because of that.

Eyes blinked when the girl sat right across Kira and spoke to hear in a teasing tone. Consider how familiar the language was, she was someone close to her. Something that was clarified when she called her big sister. How is Aikon doing now? Ever since she left to be trained to become the royal assassin. She had no opportunity to catch up with his big sister. How much had she changed, anyway? It was a shock for him when she accepted to become a neck slicing knife to the empress. She used to be so gentle and warm. She had to mature rapidly because of the pressure she had on her back. But, she was not a failure in the eyes of the old woman. That damn old woman. To think about her brought up awful memories he would never be able to forget.

She did not even bother coming to the burning of his body. From within there was an explosion of energy as his anger began to rise tremendously. The fork in his hand breaking in half which snapped him out of it. Eyes locked on the fork then closed as a long sigh escaped his open mouth. He was his worst enemy occasionally. He was unable to enjoy himself for long because he was too much of a thinker. He would rise from the chair and make his way to the table with a lot of bottle. It did not matter he could not get drunk. He wanted to drink alcohol.

A single glass would be filled with all the strong alcoholic beverage he could get from the table. Then he lifted the drink to his lips to have to think of something else than that old woman not bothering to come see the cremation of her oldest deceased son. This was not enough, one more. The glass was filled with the strong liquid once more and finished just as quickly. It was not working, he couldn't calm down. He was unable to forget it. He had to leave, he needed to leave before he lost the little sanity stopping him from losing his mind.

The memories they flashed through his head so violently. Aikon had not even come to see their big brother being cremated. It was him and some friend he had made. Just what was wrong with them, why didn't they come? Did he really not mean anything to them? Eyes were flickering to golden at an alarming speed. He could feel himself slipping and that was when he made a run toward the exit.

In a flash of gold, he had taken off toward his spaceship.
