This short piece I discovered on my bed, reflecting on the Elemental Guardians RP we have on this guild actually(look for it and join). I was basically out in the middle of nowhere when Elements by Lindsey Stirling started to play on my USB. It was then that I came up with a small, humorous art of work about my character, Zachary.
Zack brushed his hair back. It became almost a habit to do so when he introduced himself. However, he didn’t introduce himself as the infamous Ashtons’ restaurant owner. He instead stated himself, “I’m the Guardian that’s going to unmask Guardian Killers. You can call me lightning.” He felt confident in himself for several reasons… First, he didn’t just hold the lightning element. He perfected it. He wasn’t just someone who would shoot a lightning bolt at people. He used it in strategic ways. He once stunned a GK member by overcharging a metal doorknob. Second, he had his mouth covered, somewhat occulting his identity. Most members of the GK knew him only for his yellow eyes. However, nnobody, as far as he knew, knew his actual identity. After all, nobody would look for somebody well known in parts of the world. Zacharias Ashton was his perfect alibi.
The GK member looked back at him. After a second, he said “Aren’t you Zacharias Ashton, owner of Ashton Zenicotti’s?”
Zack looked stunned. How did he figure out who he was so fast? Was he carrying something on his person that tipped him off? Was this a customer that already knew him? How? "What? No. I'm not even vaguely similar to that guy." he lied. If anything, perhaps, he could convince the man.
"No that's you alright." the man replied once again, "Only he would flick his hair back the way you did introducing himself."
Zack looked back there in shock. Perhaps what he thought of as 'almost' a habit was even more... It was his own personal trademark.
