@Virtuos0Villany

Jack seems to be . . staring at them .

. . . There’s a notepad in his hand .

In truth, he’s trying to get a decent look at them because they look fun to draw .

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

/ now that we’re so back for real reals here is this

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

@niconicocho_

The boy taps them on the shoulder .

“. . . H . . Hey, uh . . Nico ? “

Seems he’s got something to say .

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

The author is . . Face-down on the ground .

. . . He seems to be . . Smoking . Not like, with a cigarette, like. . His entire body is letting off smoke .

. . . Will [ THE READER ] investigate ?

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

Slowly, his body shifts and contorts until it’s returned to normal .

Slowly, he stands back up. Clearly that took a lot out of him .

“. . . I . . there .

. . All better . “

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . . . Right .

. . . . I’ll . . I’ll stop it . Just. . Just give me . . “

He sighs .

He reaches up and grabs all of the strings attatched to his limbs.

In a swift motion, he uses his stone wing to cut all of them at once .

He collapses , as the glow dissipates .

“It is.. overwhelming, nearly.

I’m afraid those are simply limitations im forced to bear with.”

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . . Too . . Much ? “

He steps closer to them again .

“. . I don’t understand .

. . What’s wrong with . . Me ? “

[ᴅɪꜱᴇᴀꜱᴇᴅ @_Blood_nature]

“Too much.. of you.

You should.. stop confusing me.”

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . They are a royal guardsman. . . “

[𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳 𝑰𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑨𝑰𝑹 @FR0STEDFURY]

Well , I’d suggest asking Wynn
again on what they do , mostly
so you know how they work . .

unless they are a busy individual .

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . . . .”

The strings pull taut, and Jack straightens himself .

“. . . . It feels like me .

. . . More of me . “

[ᴅɪꜱᴇᴀꜱᴇᴅ @_Blood_nature]

“Good… it seems to.. strain you quite greatly.

This form is.. confusion.”

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . . . .”

He can’t hold the cloud for very long , so the feeling doesn’t last but a few seconds .

“. . . . I’ve only had to fight someone like this once . “

[ᴅɪꜱᴇᴀꜱᴇᴅ @_Blood_nature]

“Hm..”

They spend quite a hike thinking, seems their verdict.. will be quite late.

They have to feel him first.

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . . I know you can’t see it .

. . So I’ll show you. “

He steps back .

The glow surrounding him compacts inwards. .

Before it expands in all directions , creating a cloud of light so dense it can be felt.

[ᴅɪꜱᴇᴀꜱᴇᴅ @_Blood_nature]

“It.. possibly is, yes.”

They don’t want to pop the bubble- perhaps he believes they understand what he means.

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

/ I FORGOT THEY WERE BLIND SHOOT

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“ . . . I don’t know the limits of it . I’ve . . Never tested such . “

He steps forward, his movements fluid like that of a puppet .

“. . . . I know that it feels . . Powerful . “

[ᴅɪꜱᴇᴀꜱᴇᴅ @_Blood_nature]

Once again, it’s clear they’re blind.. they still see pretty much the same thing.

“That is.. impressive, indeed.”

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“ I mean, I know it works both armed and unarmed, I just don’t know how .

. . I don’t think it’s triggered by anything, I just think it’s like . . A constant thing . “

[𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳 𝑰𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑨𝑰𝑹 @FR0STEDFURY]

I assume it just starts
working when you punch stuff . .

Or maybe when you
wield a weapon ?

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

The author is . . Face-down on the ground .

. . . He seems to be . . Smoking . Not like, with a cigarette, like. . His entire body is letting off smoke .

. . . Will [ THE READER ] investigate ?

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

Six wings unfold from his back . One is made of stone, one of white feathers, one of chitin , one of scales and fluff, one of black feathers and one of an almost owl-ish appearance.

Each of the mouths open simultaneously to speak .

“. . w h a t d o y o u t h i n k ? “

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . Here goes . “

He draws a twelfth symbol, and suddenly he begins glowing again. Brighter than ever, almost like a shroud over his entire body.

But, the light doesn’t fade. Instead, it seems to slowly take a physical form . A form beyond anything Jack’s done before.

*

[ᴅɪꜱᴇᴀꜱᴇᴅ @_Blood_nature]

They’re watching, silent as they usually are

Whatever is happening..

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

Jack steps forward, now resembling something much more . . divine .

Strings rise from his limbs , up past the sky, held by something unseen .

Two rings surround his face. One of eyes, one of mouths.

His limbs are segmented. His arms seem almost wooden, his legs chitinous.

*

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . . I’ve been called that before. . “

He crosses his arms .

“. . I guess it’s . . Not entirely wrong but I’ve been trying to get better about it .

. . . I guess I’ve never been good with the supernatural . “

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“. . . . It’s. . Fine ? “

The author tries not to call attention to it. He’d rather not poke at what could be a sore spot .

“. . . I guess he’s more of a fashion designer than an artificer anyways. Just so happens that he likes to add . . A bit of magic to his creations . “

[𝗞𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘 @Perfxct_Sxn]

—uncalled for.

[𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚂𝚖𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚂𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 . . @LightBearingKid]

“ Yeppa !

. . . Still don’t really know how it works, though - “

[𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳 𝑰𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑨𝑰𝑹 @FR0STEDFURY]

Ah . . That’s a pretty neat invention !
