The night air was humid as the hot blue flames mixed together with cool air of the darkness, flames that burned the fractured ground and yet never touched the already destroyed buildings, in the middle of this burning blue world stood three individuals, the only three people left alive.

Julie looked at Tora with tears in her eyes as a unwelcome truth had made itself known to her. "Was all of this my fault? She asked as she glimpsed down at the bloody remains of people she didn't even know, the severed limbs of strangers, recked building, broken windows. "Was all of this really my fault."

"I wish that I can tell you something different." Tora said looking away from Julie. "But I'm afraid I can't."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFOhMCZAsv
Julie shook her head in disbelief "No..."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4swFHTSx6w
"I'll explain everything to you later, right now I have a job to do." Tora brought his burning fist up towards his face as his eyes glowed with determination.

"Can't you hear it?" Trevor playfully said as he brought his hands up to his ears. "The sound of sirens." Trevor began to giggle and soon laugh out laugh. "It would appear that our fight is about to be interrupted." He said with a laugh.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEd0upmYCc
"So I guess that I am going to have to kill you fast!" Tora said with a stronger determination.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTgQgQ4JY6
"Now, now, now let's not be to hasty." Trevor shook his finger as white glistening wings appeared from his back.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn0lhL5AwG
Tora rushed forward, his body becoming a blur as he moved inhumanly fast. "Your not getting away!"
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNELQsgIHLj
Trevor seemed to disappear as he flew high into the sky just barely avoiding Toras attack. He giggled as he looked down at them both.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaZaHLqs3Q
"This fight is far from over, understand that now!" Trevor said flying higher and higher into the night sky. "We will meet again and next time I will gouge out your eyes and eat them as a snack!"
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLOjONNMQn
Trevor soon disappeared from view and yet still Julie looked up into the night sky.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbmKmzrviK
"We should go." Tora said grabbing her hand breaking her out of her strange thoughts that plagued her mind.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcSV6ed9gv
He pulled Julie forward and they both ran down the burning streets filled with the dead.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVc5BfL0nr
"What is happening?" Julie asked. "What happened to Trevor, how is all of this my fault?"
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEObCFYthh
Tora looked back at Julie as they both continued to run. "I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything."

"We should be safe here." Tora said looking around the surrounding area.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Fr3mWmdX
"Where the hell are we?" Julie asked breathing hard.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejD8xW2He0
"At some park, it's the perfect place to talk, don't you think?" Tora pointed towards a wooden bench standing by the side of the stone path that led further into the park.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4tgOSDKHO
Tora and Julie sat side by side not saying a word. Julie wanted to go after Trevor, but right now she needed answers.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLKkAESswL
"What are you?" Julie asked looking towards the white haired boy who sat beside her.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaV0T35U1i
"That's not an easy question to answer." Tora said while scratching his white hair.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHFzwKdWDu
"Well then let me make it easy for you!" Julie yelled standing up exasperated. "The last time we met you talked about Fairy's. You could see the same things that I could..." Julie didn't want to say any more, the very words felt like acid as they left her mouth. "Does all of this have something to do with all of that nonsense?" She said, rising to her full height, her determination evident in every line of her posture. "Don't lie to me and tell me..." She said her lips trembling

Tora looked into eyes filled with tears and felt something from deep within that had completely rattled him, something he had never felt before.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaGa0QimBI
"Was all of this really my fault?" Julie asked, her body trembling with a mix of fear and anticipation, her fists clenched tightly at her sides.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0cLLP8OCQ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m7Kfp4MSD
Tora averted his eyes, he couldn't look at the girl who seemed to make him weak with just a glance.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKbgWMw3le
"To say that it is your fault isn't far from the truth if you look at the situation from a small perspective. But from a bigger perspective that's not the case." He said letting lose a small breath of annoyance.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceHL9LP49n
"What does that even mean!?" Julie cried out.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVUP5Fn8Pi
"It means that this world is a lot wider than most people give it credit for." Tora explained.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHUAisXLH7
She had heard an answer that she did not wish to here. "What?." Julie asked feeling more irritated.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2EOSzl9rl
"It means that the things you call nonsense, the things you don't even think exist are real Julie."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEH8mEF2Pd
"So you know my name huh? How?" Julie asked, distrust ever present in her voice.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT39kX2CoN
Tora stands up and faces Julie, grinning Cockily. "Well I did over hear that monstrous guy say it many times, but I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I have been researching you ever since our first meeting."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gjIFPLXCp
Julie took a step back. "What why!?" She asked.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQodfCLFih
Tora didn't say any words for deep down he felt a certain measure of guilt for what he was just about to say. "I needed to be sure that you where one of us."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUncuASnSxj
"One of us, What do you mean? Julie asked quietly, remembering the events that had just taken place.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfyiilxvOJ
"It's going to be a long story... but please Listen to it fully and quickly." Tora sat down again on the bench. "The hunt is still not over."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICXMYINpup
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCPu4VLPO0
Toras eyes grew dark and serious. "Let me tell you about the world of darkness and light, and the world in between.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpTS897i0b
Tora's smirk widened as he gazed at Julie, his piercing blue eyes seeming to illuminate the darkness around them.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNl9rByKp5
"The world of three," he whispered, his voice carrying a hint of mystery. "Our world."
