over the rainbow

     At least this time it wasn’t necessary her fault that she fell. Not entirely anyway! She had just been admiring the animals through the shop’s windows that she didn’t notice she was standing in the way of passersby.

     There was a voice but when she looked up, expecting to see a young male, she was taken by surprised. The armor was large and bulky but the voice sounded friendly enough that she gave no mind to his appearance. Brightly smiling she scooted over to make room and turned to him. 

Micaiah let out a sigh of relief as she successfully caught the attention of the other girl and prevented what would have surely been a rather unfortunate accident. She let go of the other’s arm before showing off a warm smile of her own.

     It wasn’t the first time someone told her something like that and she slightly flushed. “You’re right!” Giving a nervous giggle she twiddled with the strands on her hair before gazing back at her. “I guess I just had a few things on my mind.” With that she glanced towards the signs again and shivered. So glad she had been around. 

“Are all mortals lacking in back bones these days or is it that you are just weak! Where is the confidence of your species, the drive of a thousand wars that had shaped your mortality for generations! Don’t tell me it is all gone.”

     It seemed apologizing didn’t make him happy either and she was confused in what the right answer would be. “Um..” She was kind of lost for words. 

He makes a long growl that stood out, honestly mortals were tiring to say the least. They made a big deal out of everything and everyone in this world, and the would not shut up about it at all. 

     Oops, that’s right was in a bad mood. Hearing his growl reminded her immediately and she took a few steps back. She didn’t want to upset him more, especially since she wasn’t certain if she’d only make things worse. 

He looks down, anger in his gaze, ready to put the fear of gods into any poor living soul that catched his gaze. But no, there are people who do not deserve that. So he attempts to calm down. And he does. 

“Yes, well… that may be. But regardless, it’s quite refreshing to hear. Fuka, was it? You may call me Zayd! I–” Ah. He’s already beginning to fade away.

     He was gone just like that. She wondered if she’d ever get to see him again or if this had been her only chance. In a city this big and someone with only ten minutes every day she somehow doubted it which only made her more sad. 

Good news.  He didn’t have a debt to work off.  Even better since he was mainly the cause of the debt, so he didn’t have anything at all effecting him.  There was still a bit of an issue.  He didn’t have his sweeping job, and he was broke.  The fact he was merely guessing there was some bounty thing in the city was how desperate he was.  To the point he was chasing a guy down the streets with nothing but food on his mind.  This guy had to be worth something, and he was ready to catch him.  A game of cat and mouse, then the catch.  Once he was done with his game, he reached behind him and…

     Each day seemed to be more eventful than the next but it wasn’t much of a change from how it was back at her home. So maybe that was why she ended up literally chasing right behind him, although she was a lot more slower and nearly lost him. It was only until he stopped that she managed to catch up to him. Why did she chase him in the first place? Well, to see if his wounds have healed up! Judging from the way he moved however he seemed to be perfectly fine. Subconsciously she gave a sigh of relief. 

“There’s no way yet– we’re looking in to this.” He didn’t define who ‘we’ meant, and just continued on. “But to be worried over by a stranger such as yourself…”

     We? Maybe he meant his friends and they were going to help him keep his physical body for longer than ten minutes. It made her sad to think he had to wait an entire day before he could have a body again.

“Er– no, it’s quite fine, Miss. I’ll still exist– but lose my physical form.” He frowned, not having intended on upsetting anyone tonight. 

     Now she was absolutely confused. “Your physical form? D- does that mean you’ll really just fade away?” 

“Like I said– I care little for the actual circumstances.”

     She already forgot about the party or war, whichever it really was.

“A war? Hah! Though, it does seem to be a war between siblings…”

     “So it’s not a war.. but just siblings not getting along well?” 

   “…I assure thee, I am no king.”

     Her excitement fell and she looked a bit disappointed. If he wasn’t the flower, or was it rose, king, then she wasn’t certain what to expect from it. Either way he seemed like some sort of fairy tale creature and that alone put her at awe. 

“It it someone’s birthday, apparently.”
