Chapitre 55: Chapter 53 Are you a God?
"The who with the what now?" I said completely baffled by what I just heard. I'll admit I don't know many gods from real myths, but I do know about Loki from watching marvel movies. I always liked the scheming bad guys that hide their true strength and the God of mischief scratches that itch. I hope one of them looks the part. In fact, I want to play a little game with myself. Whoever has green clothes and a golden staff wins the grand prize of being the most Loki.
I look with anticipation as the one leading the group steps forward. They were a red head with a pony tie wearing blue shorts and a weird shirt that was cut so the long sleeves and the body were disconnected around the neck. It looked like it could strangling them if someone yanked on it to hard. But I'm not an expert on fashion so maybe its a new style. Looks annoying to take on an off though. Their not that Loki looking so maybe theirs another person who fits the bill.
Next were two black haired tan girls with very revealing clothing that barley covered their skin. They had gold and silver jewelry around their necks and ears. They kind of look like sisters with those outfits but I could be mistaken.
After them was a tall white hair person wearing a white coat and pants with a tattoo on the left side of their face. That one had pretty cool looking clothes with the hole white outfit but just imagining a stain getting on any of it is horrifying. Another four come out after them.
The first of this group with long dyed green hair with long ears and glasses. They were wearing a long white robe that dragged on the ground. They sort of looked like a librarian if you squinted. They seem the most Loki like so far.
Then there was a short dark brown guy with a big beard wearing armor. Probably one of the cities guards. I hope he doesn't recognize us from yesterday.
They had orangey brown hair wrapped in a pony tail and had a red piece of cloth around their neck. That's about as much as I could see from them since they were the farther away.
And finally there was the last person bringing up the rear. A blond girl with a short white skirt. Nothing else was really special about her as far as I could tell. But I can't see that far so I don't know.
None of them really looked like what a Loki should to me to me except maybe the green haired one. I mean crazier things have happened so having an actually God show up wouldn't be that far our now. It would have been cool if a real trickster God looking guy showed up and did some magic but that's too much to ask for I guess. Its probably its just their family name or title like Njord which kind of sucks the fun out of everything.
Oh, there's another one I missed. They looked like a small kid with yellow hair with a fancy sweater vest on just pulled up a chair. They must have snuck by while I wasn't paying attention. If they were ten years older and dyed their hair black they might be able to pull off a Loki look, but that would be in the future.
"Well, that's a little disappointing. Anyways back to what- I" I said as I turn our head back to bell. He's face looked red and drool was leaking out of his mouth. I look away for one second and this guy gets drunk. Syr looked concerned and looked to us and I get the sense we should do something.
"You doing alright bud?" I said concerned that he might be having a stroke. I was about to wave my hand in front of his face before realizing I still have the gun in my hand. I let go of it but I couldn't move our fingers. Better not force them incase theirs's nerve damage.
Blood Stalk seemed to pick up what I wanted to do and waves the bowl in front of him. Either that or they just wanted to do it and Bell eventually he snaps back to reality. He then went over the counter and hid behind the wooden table.
"Sorry what were we talking about again." He said peaking out his head a little looking between us and the Loki table. I could feel a confused look appear on our face as we tilted our head.
"Why are you hiding behind the bar like a weirdo?" I asked while stopping our head from tilting any further.
"Because that's the Loki familia. One of the biggest and most successful groups in all of Orario." Bell said in a quiet voice. As soon as he said that Blood Stalks eyes squinted.
"Ok, but that doesn't answer my question. Why are you hiding like a weirdo?" I said repeating myself.
"Its personal." he stuttered as he looked at the table again. I look over trying to follow his line of site and he seems to be looking at either the red head or the blond girl. "Did they have a relationship? Or maybe its a crush." I said to myself trying to figure this mystery out. Our body shook a little after I said that.
Blood Stalk turned our head back and forth from Bell and the Loki table, specifically the one with the white outfit. I could feel a frown forming on our face as they talked with the others around the table loudly.
"They're a really loud bunch hun. Not sneeky at all." I said still fantasizing them being a secret evil organization or something cool.
After I said that I started to hear something crack as I look down. The veins in our left hand starts to emit a purple light like when we were in the dungeon as she tighten her grip on the empty bowl. I could hear a crackling coming from it and got scared that she was going to break it." Hey relax, everything's fine. Put down the bowl. We can't afford anything already." I said to Blood Stalk as our body shook. The light slowly fading along with our grip. I hope no one saw that or they might start asking questions. Luckily everyone's attention was still on the new arrivals.
As Blood Stalk took her hand off the plate I noticed that an impression of their hand on the bowl. It looked like it was melted into the glass.
"Seriously, I am so confused on what that power does." I whispered since that power should be from Agito but I don't recall anything like healing or crushing power from that series. I can't even check on it since that page is now locked thanks to Sine's meddling.
I look up and see the translucent line still connected to us moving around the ceiling. It was roaming around who knows where doing who knows what.
"That's what I get for telling it to leave." I said to myself while hoping that demon doesn't do anything to bad. It can't interact with anything so we should be fine.
"Telling who to leave?" Syr said from the side and I shuttered. I forgot they were standing there. They didn't question the light so maybe they didn't see it. We should hide the evidence though just to be safe.
"Nothing. Hey, I think I smell smoke from over their." I said while pointing to the kitchen. As made a gasp sound and she looked away. I made Blood Stalk hid our bowl under one of Bells weird fish dishes discreetly. Luckily he was still focused on the Loki table so he didn't notice us.
"Never mind. I'm probably mistaken." I said with a strait face.
"Don't worry, plats break all the time." Syr said with a wink as she turned away. She knew from the start, but why didn't she ask us anything? Maybe she just think its funny.
Blood Stalk turned our head back down and looked at the table. I saw our left hand lift up and down while tapping on the wooden bar. It was slow at first but then it started to pick up pace as the glow started return. "Annoying..." They muttered under her breath.
"Is something wrong?" I asked them since they seemed nervous or concerned about something. She didn't answer as the tapping continued.
"Are you thinking about Allen again?" I asked and they stopped tapping. I think I hit the nail on the head.
"...No..." She said in the most unconvincing way possible.
"You need to let that go at least for now. Well get back at him some day but for now we need to stay low." I said since their was nothing we could do about it now and thinking about it will only hurt her in the end.
"I... can't." Blood Stalk said gripping their left hand as that purple light started to shine.
"Why not? Its just one loss and he's probably long gone by now." I said not able to understand
"Because... he hurt you." She said which made me pause for a moment.
"I... was told for as long as I can remember... that familias are for the weak... for the ones that could never be strong otherwise... But... we lost today... I lost to one today... So... what am I then..?" She said with a soft quivering voice. "What... am I now? What... will I be tomorrow? Just... another failure. Another... useless thing to be devoured?" She said with dread.
"No... I can't live like that. So... I'll find Allen... and kill it. Then... everything will be right again. If not..." She said as I could feel something changing in our eyes. I don't know what it was but I felt colder for a brief moment.
Our head then turned back to the Loki table and the colors around us starts to fade into black and white. "Those... who need Falna's to be strong. Strength... that they didn't earn. People... like them... should have never existed." She said with anger.
"I... will keep fighting... killing... until that is the only truth." Blood Stalk said completely ignoring everything else.
I don't really know what all of their words mean but I can tell that they are in more pain than I imagined. In more ways than physically.
The red head started to noticed us staring and looked directly into our eyes. We started a stare off so intense that who ever blinked first would die in that instant. That flame in our eyes burning more and more as I felt it consume everything in our sight.
"BOO!" Two red eyes suddenly appears in front of us and nearly gave me a heart attack. More color's started to return to my sight as that fire went away. It took all of my will power not to react. I hate that devil a lot but for the first time I'm really glad it showed up.
"I'd punch you if I could." I said grabbing our heart with the gun still in hand.
"FUNNY I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING SIMILAR. By The Way What I'd Miss? i could feel someone's desires flaring down here and it has me feeling great." Sine said while spinning in the air.
"Nothing... happened." Blood Stalk said in a dull tone while turning away and leaning down on the bar.
"Hello their funny lookin." I hear behind me and dread having another person to talk to while this demon is next to me. I turn and to my surprise the red hair from the Loki group standing next to us with their hands behind their head.
"I couldn't help but notice someone was staring at our table for a while now. Got anything you want to say." They said in a round about way. They're tone doesn't sounded as rough as their words.
"I'm pretty sure everyone was when you walked in." I said trying to be casual. I don't know why they decided to talk to us but I have to many things to worry about and I don't need anything else adding onto the pile.
"I guess so. But they didn't have the guts to be so openly hostile with us like that without backing down." The red head said while smiling. I don't know if their being sarcastic or not.
"Say, you look like you have some fun stories. how about you join our table for a chat?" They said which confused me. I think their making fun of how we look. I can't really tell but maybe they just want a clown to laugh at and saw us as an easy target. That seems like a much more villain answer to me but that's might be bias.
"OH MY GOD! Don't Tell Me This Is What I Think It Is? YOUR GETTING HIT ON. my boys are going to become men. Whichever Way You Swing Make Sure Your On Top. EVEN THOUGH YOU LOOK LIKE A MUMMY YOU MADMEN CAN DO IT." Sine said from behind us in support. I wanted to yell at it so badly but I managed to keep my cool. Blood Stalk started to frown for some reason and the red head smile grew bigger.
"No thanks, I'm fine." I said quickly. I don't know the real reason they approached us but it's could be the annoying thing Blood Stalk was talking about.
"BOOO! AT LEAST TRY AND BE SUDUCTIVE! You Could Get A Free Meal And Place To Sleep. don't fail at the starting line. You Could Always Dump Them Latter If They Turn Crazy." The demon yelled into our ears and I tried to tune them out.
I heard a muffled voice behind us as the red head tilted their had down and to the right like they noticed something. The only thing directly behind us is Bell and he's trying to avoid them. I don't really want to go to their table but I also don't want Bell to get caught up in this because of us.
"Now that I think about it, I have nothing better to do. So why not." I said reluctantly getting up. Bell definitely owes me one for sticking our neck out.
"Great, lets head over." They said while grabbing our right arm and dragged us away from the bar. They tried to put their other hand around our waist but I smacked it away. I could feel that devil smirking behind us as we walked.
"Hi, I'm back and brought a friend." They said to everyone at their table. They all looked at us with mixed reactions. Most didn't feel pleasant. I looked at the table and it was already set with tones of food like chicken, fruits, and lots of beer.
"Loki, you shouldn't wander away from the party." The small kid said which shocked me. This one was the Loki. This one.
"Who did you bring over?" One of the girls said as they looked at us with curiosity.
"I don't know yet, But we'll find out." The person that dragged us here said while pulling a chair out and turning it around so that they could lean on it. I don't like the sound of that.
"This one looks like a weakling so don't bother us." The white clothed one said with a annoyed tone. Trust me if I could leave I would but Allen might be outside and I don't want to take the chance.
"You say that about everyone." The other girl said
I turned and looked at the red head and try to picture them as Loki but it doesn't look the part to me at all.
"Your staring at me again. You must really like me." They said in a sarcastic way.
"You don't look like a Loki." I said disappointed in the person that has that name.
"What's that suppose to mean? And chose your next words carefully." Loki said still smiling but the veins in their head.
"I'm just saying if you had a gold crown with horns on it you would have the silhouette down. Your not even wearing anything green." I said while pointing to their weird clothes which made them go silent for a moment before Loki started laughing uncontrollably.
"You had me worried for a second. But to think it was something like clothes." Loki said while grabbing a beer and chugging it. Now I'm curious what they thought I was going to say. They drank the entire jug dry in just one sip which
"So, What's an unregister God doing here I wonder?" She said in a drunken stupor as the table gets louder. What are they talking about?
"You should probably stop drinking. Your slurring your words." I said as they seemed to get drunk off just that one bottle. They clearly can't hold on if this is all it takes.
"Nonsense, You should drink some to." They said trying to push a bottle in front of us.
"By the way, have you guys heard the rumor of the red knight?" The guard looking one said with a serious tone.
Oh no.
L’AVIS DES CRÉATEURS 
Imshocked
Imshocked Hi,
I want to get back to the action so bad again. I sometimes feel like I'm rushing things but other times it feels increadibly slow. Other times I feel like I'm taking to long to write while I'm stuck trying to make everything the sound better and not like a film script. Its realy hard juggiling everything at once while trying to make a story enjoyable to both read and write. Hopfully I have gotten better at it over the 6th mothes of writting this story and. That was one of my first goals and I believe I have succeeded in most places. I still have room to improve though. Specifically the ends of chapters. I can't wait until were back to having cooler stunts and fights.
At the time of writting these notes the word count is 777.
.
I am going to introduce a new slightly original charcter soon and I'm a little scared about the audience reaction to them. They have a different style of speach which might be a little extream compaired to everything else I've written so far.
I want them to come off with a more absurdest humor style rather than malicious but the line will be very difficult to tightrope. Especialy for two words that I want them to say that are bad in a vacume but make sense with context.
They have already been forshadowed but I'm still nervious.
I forgot the 'a' in heard so I have herd like catle instead of hearing. Now I have to go back and fix it along with some Blood Stalk parts that got left out do to time. I also need to fix this chapter at the end. I hate being sick.
Thank you parzzibal_37 and VanillaExodiafor the powerstones.
Thanks for reading abd happy belated Thanksgiving.
Ciao.
