 { Of Cultenean and Atlantean Blood }Where do your loyalties lie? - - - - - -Valkyrie bought a small roll of hard, dry bread to save for her lunch later. She stopped by the local well and filled her water pouch with cool glistening water that tasted fresh. As going by routine, she visited the news board to see if there was anything interesting going on around town. "Bleh. What a boring place. I wish it were night time already..." The young woman began reminiscing about her last exciting evening. Oh how she longed to get on the track again. But it was dangerous for someone like her to be in the public eye for too long. Once a month she participated in one of Mecha's big races. She loved to feel the wind blow through her hair and the electricity of thrill she received from the sheer speed. Valkyrie was a huge motorcyclist at heart, and that wouldn't change for a long time. Instead of sitting down on the curb, she rested on her arms and pulled her legs up from behind her so that her back arched and her legs dangled above her head. Then she watched people pass her by and give her strange looks as she rested in that position.I choose to follow my own path.

Then, something caught his eye. A lady. This lady was standing, or posing, in a very .. Unique .. position. She was resting on her arms and her legs were pulled up from behind. People gave her a strange look, but Feint just stared.
He went on a snack stand and bought a drink for himself. He wondered if the woman that he met on the streets was still following him, he hoped not, but he had nothing he could do. He can't just push a lady away, but he could find the courage to fight them away. Feint tilted his head and wondered if he has seen her before. In the royal capitol? Or just here in the city? That was a mystery to him.

{ Of Cultenean and Atlantean Blood }Where do your loyalties lie? - - - - - -As Valkyrie continued to people watch, a young man caught her eye. Or rather, the fact that he was staring at her caught her attention. He obviously wasn't from around this part of Cultan, but she could tell that he was Cultenean. Smiling to herself, she pushed up on her arms and walked towards him on her hands. Mira tilted her head up to look at him as he was very tall, unlike herself who didn't even stand five feet tall. "Hello stranger. What brings you to such a town as Mecha?" In all honesty, Mecha wasn't exactly a tourist friendly town. There were so many thieves and ragamuffins that could easily pickpocket from an unsuspecting person. Though, judging by the air he gave off, he coulr probably take care of himself.I choose to follow my own path.

Hmm .. " Feint said as he wanted to get this woman's attention. " Well, I came from above, falling from the heavens. Here, as a mission to meet a woman like yourself. " Feint said, in an accent that was quite different. The accent sounded Australian, so to say. Though, that would be in the real world, here in the world of Forsena, nobody would know what they could describe this accent as.
Feint looked at the girl and smiled. " I live here, of course. " Feint said, giving a small giggle. He was obviously joking around with the first one, but if he continued on, one would think he was a Seraph. A race that was somewhat angelic. Feint looked at the girl and wondered. " Well, what brings you in this part of town? " He asked her, with politeness.

{ Of Cultenean and Atlantean Blood }Where do your loyalties lie? - - - - - -Valkyrie gave Feint a weird look at first, but it passed quickly. Her legs came tumbling forward and she stood up properly, barely reaching his shoulders. "I live here of course," she said plainly, imitating his tone. She wasn't trying to be sarcastic like usual, but it was half true. Though she didn't live in the residential area, she still spent all her life in Eldrenor. What Valkyrie found most strange was that this boy didn't know who she was even though he lived in town. But that could be considered a good thing too. At least they would have a chance to meet in even circumstances, unlike everyone who already despised of her due to her race.I choose to follow my own path.

{ Of Cultenean and Atlantean Blood }Where do your loyalties lie? - - - - - -Giggling, she nodded twice before turning on her heel and taking exactly three steps away from Feint. Valkyrie turned back to face him, but not before manipulating her body to do an illusion*. "Let's just say my presence isn't exactly welcomed in this peaceful city." She emphasized the word peaceful and rolled her eyes at the same time. She wondered if he would ask why, but it wasn't exactly his business right? Not that she would mind telling him in the least. Almost everyone in town already knew. One more person didn't really matter anymore.

" Feint said, giving her a smile as he took a sip of the drink that he had bought on the snack stand. " Want some..? " Feint asked. The drink was really refreshing. It must be a special Mecha drink.
Feint looked over to the snack stand he had bought it at. " I can buy you one, yeah? " Feint said, smiling at her. Working numerous time in the local club here in Mecha really paid off. Feint smiled and took another sip from the straw of the drink. " Well? " Feint asked, waiting for her reply and smiling the same time.

“ Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud. ” →INDENTA distant yet light clanking noise could be heard in the distance, despite the number of people gathered in the City Square to gossip, shop, or simply hang-out. The cause of this armor was a soldier, walking nonchalantly past groups of teens and adults resting in cafes who curiously glanced at him. His armor, black as night, laced with blue steel at the edges shone brilliantly in the nice, sunny weather. A soldier's armor is a symbol of his pride, his work. Erich never passed up a moment to polish the metallic suit whenever he wasn't fighting or breaking up a small riot in one of the Culten's bars. The clanking continued as Erich moseyed along the streets of Culten, passing awed and fearful eyes as he went. The city square was a relatively peaceful area within the grand country. Mecha wasn't much of a war-supply town, but more resembling the slums of a wealthy location. There were illegal acts committed commonly around the city, with most of the action occurring in the shadows, behind the army's eyes. Of course, Erich was aware of the disgraceful crimes that happened; he was the general, after all. He was the one who ordered attacks on any drug-dealers, gangs or thugs, even killers. Of course, no one really knew what the general looked like; he rarely ventured into the slums himself, yet that doesn't imply that Erich doesn't know how to get the job done.
→INDENTThe real reason why Erich had brought himself to such a lowly place? Well, someone had asked to meet with him. And of course, she had to pick the place where she felt most comfortable. She just had to pick Mecha, didn't she? Very fitting for a... Although his thoughts trailed off, his feet carried on, moving his body covered in a shiny alloy casing through the crowds of adolescents. Whenever a smart-alec youngster thought it funny to "rough-up" the "lousy guard", namely Erich, by throwing rocks or shoving him ever which way, Erich had half a mind to set them straight with a light smack-down. No, he was better than this. He simply deflected the incoming projectiles with a flick of his lance, the 7-ft pole of durable steel that loyally obeyed his commands. Except once, where the spear had "accidentally" sent a stone right back into the kid's face. The thought made Erich chuckle in a low tone, before he continued on his way. After a minute or two, Erich spotted the woman he was arranged to meet. She appeared to be dazzling, maybe even seducing another man with her skillful movements. Gymnastics was never a hobby of the general, simply because it required a nimble and flexible body that he did not have, or ever did have. Without pausing or halting his little march, Erich strode up to Ms. Flexible and Mr. Romantic. Upon closer observation, the man seemed to be flirting with her.
→INDENTWith a plain gaze and a robust voice, Erich addressed the two. “ Excuse me, Valkyrie. ” Without awaiting an answer, or rather, before allowing this female a response, Erich continued. “ I'm here, just as you asked. Please address me as ‘Erk’ for the time being. ” It would be easier this way, unless someone recognizes his position. Considering this town is home to criminals and those that Erich himself had tossed in jail, it would be dangerous for even someone of his skill to be seen. Now, the soldier awaited a response from Valkyrie, standing erect with his lance perfectly perpendicular to the ground. The woman was fairly attractive, obliviously lean due to her elegant movements. As for the man, he didn't strike Erich as 'intelligent', but more laid-back. Rather... suitable for the surroundings. It made Erich slightly uncomfortable not knowing what this rendezvous was about. Well, considering Valkyrie, it could be something of the utmost importance, or some trivial matter. Having been her friend since childhood, she often called him out to "give him a breath of fresh air", as she called it. Regardless, he maintained a professional posture, despite Valkyrie's attempts at making him relax. "A soldier must always be alert and on guard", Erich had told her. Which was his motto, his way of living. In fact, the only times Erich ever takes his armor off is to sleep or bathe, even then he's in a private location with his lance laying in reach. 「 XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO[■■]XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO」

{ Of Cultenean and Atlantean Blood }Where do your loyalties lie? - - - - - -Valkyrie shook her head. "No thanks, I have my water. And I didn't do anything per say." She paused before continuing, debating whether or not it was worth the breath of air to tell him a little bit about her past. But the fact that she was so short should have hinted to some sort of abnormality about her. "What do you think about Atlanteans," she asked gently, not wanting to prod at a sore spot, especially considering the history between Culten and Atlantis. Right at about that time, the distinct sound of metal against metal captured Valkyrie's attention. Her head perked up and her eyes immediately sought the sound's source. "Erk!!!!!!" She welcomed him with a warm hug as usual. He was one of the few that accepted her from the very beginning. "Isn't it nice to take some time of work and just relax? Besides, it's not like you have much to do nowadays. You'll see. Fifty years from now, when you're an old fart, you'll thank me for making you have a life outside of..." Again, she trailed off not wanting to say to much that might put her friend in danger. But despite the odd conversation stopper, the young woman's lavender eyes shone brightly in the sunlight as she giggled openly, enjoying teasing her old friend.
- - - - - -"Oh, by the way, I'm Valkyrie and this is Erk, my bestest best friend in the entire universe," she said to Feint. "Erk this is..." Her voice trailed off as she realized that she had yet to learn the stranger's name. "Ehehehe... Actually, I don't really know his name." She peered at the tall blonde figure curiously. "What is your name?" By now her neck was staring to get a little sore due to the fact that she had to tilt her head towards the sky in order to look both the tall gentlemen in the eyes. She grabbed onto Erich's arm and swiftly swung herself up to sit upon one of his shoulders. He was a strong man and a few extra pounds wouldn't make a difference. She wasn't worried in the least about him toppling over since he was always alert and ready for anything. Or so he claimed... "Whoa!!! So this is what it's like to be a hundred feet tall! Why must I be so short...?" She knew very well why, but that was the past and it was near impossible to change history. And anyways, she liked her size and body. It let her do things most Culteneans couldn't like fit into a kitchen cupboard.I choose to follow my own path.

{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx F e i n t ; C o n c u r s o ; [ C u l t a n e a n ; C o m m o n e r ] ; xxx“ I'll Be The One To Hold You, Love You, And Kiss You .. Perfectly. ”super" Atlanteans are just like Cultaneans. We, both, are not humans, nor are we monsters. We have our own perspective about life and how we live, which causes people to dislike each other, which will lead to something that should be feared. War. " Feint said before the metallic noises came. The armored man that just came had interrupted their conversation, but the girl seemed to be happy seeing the man. Feint watched the girl change personality from being serious, into a happy go lucky person. Was this normal to people from this city? He has certainly had an .. Unusual .. time here in Mecha. First, a woman was trying to molest him earlier, and now a personality-changing person. How awkward.
Seeing this man dressed in armor, his first guess was, of course, the Military. He could either be a General or the Lieutenant General. What kind of Prince would dress in that get up anyway? Feint did not want to give a bad first impression, he apologized quickly for not introducing himself earlier to the female, but now he shall. Feint slightly bowed towards the armored man and to the girl named Valkyrie. " Feint Concurso, is the name. " The blonde said as he looked back up and stood up normally once again, looking at the armored man, named Erk. " It is a pleasure to meet you two. " Feint said as he looked towards the girl as well.
Another prediction he had come up with was quite unusual. Feint was thinking that the two was a couple, but he reheard earlier that the two were ' bestest best friends in the entire universe ' So, that should be a doubt. Feint looked away from the two quickly to check whether the woman that was following him earlier was near. She wasn't. What a relief, the person got on his nerves and he would have probably started something that wouldn't be quite best for this moment. " Well, it seems that you two are about to discuss something private. I will take my leave.. " Feint said as he turned around and looked back one more time towards the two. " I hope to see you two once again, Erk and Valkyrie. " Feint said, with his usual accent and gave them a smile. " Pardon me. " The young commoner said as he started to walk towards the snack stand he was at earlier.

Down the long street of Mecha was a young lady walking down. The young lady had a wondered face on her head. She wasn't walking fast at all. And as she walked, her head was down looking at the ground. Walking like this, the girl could ran into something. But this young girl had walked down these street so much. She had nothing to worry about. Her mine mine was running off at and it was only about one thing. Or should she say one person. The person was no other then Feint Concurso. This was the man she had ran into early and had a little fun with. Seeing the reaction on his face didn't look like it though. Yuki didn't mean for him to feel such a way by it either. That was just how she got to know people. See to a girl like that. She couldn't just come to someone and say "hello". That was just no fun for this young lady. But this man made her feel like she had hurt him or something. And that was the least she wanted to do.
She was still walking with her little head facing the ground. She wasn't worried at all about a gang or thieves coming up to her. She may look like she couldn't handle herself. But this little girl grew up on these street and didn't have nothing to worried about. Most of the people here knew her. they also knew how she acted too. And last, what powers she had. Most knew she wasn't a person to play with. When it came to dangerous matters. She passed many store with people bagging her to buy something. But this fine young lady didn't even notice. Her mine was blocked by what she had done. But deep inside she didn't feel like she had did something. She got closer to the two people that was ahead of her. But she wasn't paying attention to move out the way of them. If she wouldn't move quick. Yuki would walk right into them.
Right now she was in a weird state. She didn't hear nothing, nor saw something. She was in a deep mental thought that she had trapped herself into. The big tight boots she had on, made a kind of "dump" sound as she walked. The sound was load enough for people near her to hear. She walked and walked, and walked. Until she had ran into the young man that was holding the girl on his shoulders. The right side of her face had skinned up the guy hard armor. Yuki hand quickly came up to hold her face. Then she slowly backed up. She hadn't really got what happened yet. But when she finally looked up, she knew all. Now she stared the guy right in the face. Her right side was very red now. Her first thought was to yell at the soldier. But she knew it was her who ran into him. With her left hand still holding the right side of her face. She lift her right hand and place it on the side of her face too. Her big eyes watered up a little but she wasn't about to cry. "Oh sorry Mr...." She said. But she had paused when she saw the young girl on his shoulder. She stared at the two and wondered what was they doing. But she wasn't going to let that stop her from saying sorry. "Oh. My bad to the two of you. Sorry miss if I almost made you fall. And Mr. soldier I'm so sorry. You don't have to put me in jail for this. Do you??" Now it made her think. She saw a lot of messed up soldier in her life time. And many would go her in jail for this. They will make up a dumb thing. But she wouldn't let that happen. She would run if she had too. Even though she not a runner. Yuki back up four steps and got ready to run. She didn't looked like she was about to though.

“ Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud. ” →INDENTDespite his training in the military, Erich could never prevent his surprise to Valkyrie's welcoming... gestures. They were usually loud, and quite abnormal. This encounter was no different; she bellowed his name for the world to hear, so that a few teens turned their heads in a mixture of amusement, annoyance, and curiosity. Erich tried to maintain his straight gaze, lifting an arm to hug his good friend Valkyrie. Now, he knew he wasn't getting old or anything, but perhaps it was just his female friend that was getting more agile. Before his arm could wrap around her, she swung herself up on his shoulders. Before, this had earned a few uneasy steps from him, making him fall over once before. But now his body remained still, contrasting the image of the happy-go-lucky girl around his neck. Her petty statements regarding his boring demeanor were easily blocked out. After all, Erich had suffered through a hefty sum of years with her. “ Or maybe one day you'll realize how being carefree can lead to... mistakes. Despite the peace, a soldier should always be prepared for action. ” Maybe it was this sort of attitude that kept Valkyrie trying to pull him out of his duties. However, she was somewhat right: there wasn't many things for Erich to do anymore. “ Enjoying the view up there? ” Erich asked, he himself amused at his companion's zest.
→INDENTNow Erich's attention shifted from the hyper girl to the man that was flirting with her earlier. At Valkyrie's second performance in which she lifted herself unto his shoulders, Erich noticed that the man seemed to be both uncomfortable and in awe. His speech was admirable, containing no racist hints or hatred to the Atlanteans. Few people like this existed, with many of them having their own reasons as to their lack of despise. The blond did not exactly address the armor-wearing soldier, but more or less observed the metal plates. It was highly doubtful that he would attack, but the possibility remained open. Blinking once, then once more, Erich nodded at the blond man for his introduction. “ Yes... A pleasure to meet you as well. ” Upon closer inspection, the light-haired male didn't appear to hold any sort of office or post, yet he still held a weapon. Not uncommon, anyway; many people these days carried some means of attack either for self-defense, or for more... dark purposes. In any case, the reason behind the weapons didn't involve Erich, so no questions were asked. Not like there was time anyway, for the man who called himself Feint Concurso dismissed himself quietly and left without further statements. Erich had concluded for the time being that Valkyrie simply met the guy, seeing as how she had asked for his name. And odd fellow, that one.
→INDENTAlong came another surprise, which, ironically, was another girl. The girl appeared to be young, barely halfway through her teenage years, if at that. She bumped into him carelessly, and covered her face for it had collided with his armor with some force. Erich turned his head towards her, the wings on his helmet poking Valkyrie, who remained on his shoulders. His surprise quickly turned to confusion, as she apologetically backed away, afraid of being thrown in the slammer. “ Jail? ” The sturdy man asked. Why would such a consequence be used for a small accident such as this? Had the street police been abusing their authority? Even if they haven't, Erich will soon find out. “ No, do not worry about that. It was my fault for standing in the way. Hurry along, before another guard gets involved. ” Even though he had refused to punish her as the other guards would, she still appeared to be frightened. On the verge of running. Erich thought. Perhaps it was this sort of thing that Valkyrie had called him out for. The soldiers, becoming lazy due to their sudden drop in duties, had begun to take out their energy in despicable crimes of their own. As if to ask a question, Erich raised his head to glance at Valkyrie.「 XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO[■■]XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO」

{xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx F e i n t ; C o n c u r s o ; [ C u l t a n e a n ; C o m m o n e r ] ; xxx“ I'll Be The One To Hold You, Love You, And Kiss You .. Perfectly. ”superFeint looked at the girl that bumped onto Erk, the armored soldier. It was her again! Has she followed him here? Well, that didn't matter. Feint was about to leave anyway. He threw his drank at a nearby trash can and released a small sigh. He had nothing else to say and do but leave without any good byes. Feint's sky blue colored eyes looked up at the cloudy sky and released a sigh. Well, time to leave and go to the Royal Capitol. Feint thought to himself.
Feint looked back towards the soldier and the commoner and started to walk away. He knew that they would all meet again in the future. That was sure a possibility. Should he apply in the military? Or stay as a commoner for now. He did have fun being a commoner, but he should start to get serious in life. Some things need to be changed, some things need to be welcomed. New things.
