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."
296Please respect copyright.PENANADeQtgQEGX6
Julie shook her head in disbelief "No..."
296Please respect copyright.PENANA4W2FBjY7pc
"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.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAVXEW3KRVm8
"So I guess that I am going to have to kill you fast!" Tora said with a stronger determination.
296Please respect copyright.PENANATFBi5QAkaP
"Now, now, now let's not be to hasty." Trevor shook his finger as white glistening wings appeared from his back.
296Please respect copyright.PENANA2QV5df5920
Tora rushed forward, his body becoming a blur as he moved inhumanly fast. "Your not getting away!"
296Please respect copyright.PENANAYFYkLFYtQV
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.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAJtMOCZ637q
"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!"
296Please respect copyright.PENANA4xOp4XUKs5
Trevor soon disappeared from view and yet still Julie looked up into the night sky.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAcAQyPyKTEl
"We should go." Tora said grabbing her hand breaking her out of her strange thoughts that plagued her mind.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAPBRThEBubV
He pulled Julie forward and they both ran down the burning streets filled with the dead.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAIhdRVc0LEC
"What is happening?" Julie asked. "What happened to Trevor, how is all of this my fault?"
296Please respect copyright.PENANAg0oRE7DGoH
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.
296Please respect copyright.PENANA088HQkThl1
"Where the hell are we?" Julie asked breathing hard.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAgJPJTWZZDy
"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.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAXKYl84fhMT
Tora and Julie sat side by side not saying a word. Julie wanted to go after Trevor, but right now she needed answers.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAj2JYPVGBkm
"What are you?" Julie asked looking towards the white haired boy who sat beside her.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAEBbMcVL9Up
"That's not an easy question to answer." Tora said while scratching his white hair.
296Please respect copyright.PENANA8DIiIoxrx2
"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
296Please respect copyright.PENANApiTIjcyVa1
Tora looked into eyes filled with tears and felt something from deep within that had completely rattled him, something he had never felt before.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAQVNXJmZloE
"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.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAS4g9c6kQY5
296Please respect copyright.PENANAgPNjFCyvpT
Tora averted his eyes, he couldn't look at the girl who seemed to make him weak with just a glance.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAhhggwTZXjg
"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.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAWu0ttSc98k
"What does that even mean!?" Julie cried out.
296Please respect copyright.PENANADaQADIy9Xm
"It means that this world is a lot wider than most people give it credit for." Tora explained.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAAHJSy80ykx
She had heard an answer that she did not wish to here. "What?." Julie asked feeling more irritated.
296Please respect copyright.PENANARxmofKiSYA
"It means that the things you call nonsense, the things you don't even think exist are real Julie."
296Please respect copyright.PENANATXYVvzDEoO
"So you know my name huh? How?" Julie asked, distrust ever present in her voice.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAGeLwnRHoEj
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."
296Please respect copyright.PENANAVEwGK6pPpR
Julie took a step back. "What why!?" She asked.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAgCQ7ZLHsVb
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."
296Please respect copyright.PENANAsJIlX9ek5Y
"One of us, What do you mean? Julie asked quietly, remembering the events that had just taken place.
296Please respect copyright.PENANA5LXovWzZZp
"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."
296Please respect copyright.PENANAzPVTzTpw4Q
296Please respect copyright.PENANAryUYQDEXYA
Toras eyes grew dark and serious. "Let me tell you about the world of darkness and light, and the world in between.
296Please respect copyright.PENANANXQAAWI609
Tora's smirk widened as he gazed at Julie, his piercing blue eyes seeming to illuminate the darkness around them.
296Please respect copyright.PENANAqWnbyF9sm5
"The world of three," he whispered, his voice carrying a hint of mystery. "Our world."
