“Your scent is so intriguing, I can’t help but focus on it.” The girl spoke as she kept floating around Dallas keeping close to him.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68C8IeROsm
“Please use your legs to walk as opposed to floating, you are causing a commotion.” Jess said looking at The Girl, she looked back at Jess and tilted her head which made her entire body swirl.
“Why? I don’t ask you to use your magic to float, why must I walk?”
“I don’t have magic and it's because you’re disrupting the peace of mind of many individuals we have walked past, they don’t take well to what appears inhuman.”
“I for one feel that is unfair.”
“If you don’t want to walk, how about sitting on my shoulder?” Dallas offered her and she looked down at him, she smiled and sat down on his shoulder.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp6wdcedFp
“This okay Jess?”
“I guess so, Mr. Trigger.” Jess nods and huffs, while walking they hear a familiar voice.
“Good day Mr. Dallas Trigger, along with the lovely Ms Jessica, oh?” Zaibatsu looked over at the girl on Dallas’s shoulder and bowed his head.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyOtLwMxe0
“Pleasure to meet you Ms, may I have your name?”
“Actually that’s what we’re here to find out, we have a need for Zaibatsu The Way Walker. Are we available for such?”
“Of course, right this way.” Zaibatsu walked towards his restaurant and they all entered, walking towards a room he’d step inside and a small coffin would sit in the middle. It was specially printed black and had a red interior with cushioned padding.
“I am not dead, I would much prefer a proper bed.”
“Apologies but in order for this memory check to work a simulation must be met, however I will try my best at a later date to accommodate.” Zaibatsu would bow and motion towards the casket in which she would fold her arms.
“I Refuse. I Demand Something If I Am To Simulate Such A Thing.” She looked around the room and then began to float around, she touched, grabbed and inspected various objects before turning towards Dallas.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7225Lqiex
“You.”
“Me?”
“If I Am To Simulate Death And To Become A Opening For Knowledge I Demand Knowledge In Return, You’ve Piqued My Interest And I Am Coming To Understand What I Smell Is Linked To Your Past. I Wish To Hear Of It While This Happens. Are We In Agreement?”
“Will that mess things up Zaibatsu?”
“Not at all, I can plug my ears if it’ll help Mr Trigger.”
“Dallas- I mean Mr. Trigger. The past is a way towards the soul, we know nothing of this woman, nothing about her abilities, and if memory serves correct she’s a demon.”
“If You Fear Me Harming Him, I Have No Intentions Of Doing So. He Has Been Nothing But Kind To Me And That Is What Drives Me, His Scent Isn’t Pure Yet He Operates As So. My Curiosity Requires This Knowledge, Now Silence Yourself.” The girl glared at Jess and Dallas put his hand up.
“I’m fine letting her know, just be ready, it’s pretty boring.” Zaibatsu pulled over another casket and Dallas climbed in, laying down, closing his eyes and exhaling. Once he exhaled the entire room darkened and skulls began to glow a bright green and blue.

Five Years Ago, Dallas Trigger, Memory File
KA-THOOM!!! CRASH!!! SWOOSH!!! BOOM!!!
Rapid footsteps were heard and soon some guards arrived looking to see demons littering the floors, splattering the walls, and hanging from bits of rock.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJUke7xFaU
"I’ll be back okay?” An inmate lifted his shackled hands and waved back at the guards and a couple other shackled individuals.
CRACK!!!
“Get back in line!” A man wearing armor which was clad in black armor struck The Man’s back with a whip, however he didn’t react in the slightest. He rubbed his head wiping sweat away from it, sighing.
“Don't get your panties in a bunch, I ain’t going too far. You'll see me again sooner rather than later.” He waved his shackled hands once more, looking back at his fellow prisoners, taking steps forward he’d hear another crack of the whip and a sharp yell. Looking back he saw a guy had fallen from being struck.
“Get. Back. In. Line.” The man raised his hand up and aimed it down at the curled up prisoner. He rolled his eyes and walked back into the caverns, squatting down he grabbed a metal pole and started to chip away at the gold with his fellow prisoners. For hours and hours and hours they worked. With the polluted miasma oozing bodies of the demons strangling them for less air than they were already losing but after ages they were done. Tossed back into their cells with barely any food to survive the night, in the dead open, any manner of demons able to attack them.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx2vSu0fBQ
“This is my reward, huh? Left behind in a cell…”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkuMngNZ4o
“I’m gonna be the founder of a revolutionary city! One where no one has to fight…- free from violence…- without fear…”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdMEyxAsco
“Pfft! Yeah, gimme a break!”265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctPmvLyL1e
“I thought I was fightin' for peace in this era, for the better future and all that nonsense. Look where it got me, lazing around, chained up, convicted and talking to myself. What a drag, man..." The Man laid down against the bedding in his cell, which wasn’t comfortable at all but only to others. He frankly couldn’t be bothered to care.
“What is it?” Jess interrupted looking over at Zaibatsu.
“Apologies but I am unable to say, it is part of the confidentiality of Way Walking. The soul is a special place, if its sanctity is violated the person could return as something less of what they were before. Every soul is colorful and potent, the last one we want is a soul painted black.” Looking at Zaibatsu Jess sighed and then proceeded to step out.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8V9UkXmzs
“I shall return, there’s work I need to attend to. How long will this take??”
“A few hours.”
“Then I shall return in one.” Jess left… Alone Zaibatsu stood linking the minds at a center point keeping the desire of what led Dallas to this life he now leads using the piqued curiosity of the woman to try and fix her fractured mind.
