wow good to see you too Edna

     THE market district -- it was probably his favourite part of the city since it was always bustling and thriving with an abundance of goods, antiques and amazing foods one wouldn’t even find at the royal palace. Ever since childhood, he had been coming here whenever time would present him the opportunity -- or when he felt like sneaking away from his lessons -- but it was a place he would never tire of. 

     He strolled through the district as usual, waving at the faces he knew so well from when he was younger and he soon stopped upon a merchant that were selling their finest vegetables and fruits, as well as herbs. Of course the person selling these goods was Rose, one of the best merchants in town -- or rather she was apart of the top merchants in town who were known as the Sparrowfeathers. He offered her his usual grin, happy to see her around again. ❝ Hey ! You have a bunch of good stuff here today, huh ? Mind if I buy some apples ? They look pretty delicious. ❞ Rose grinned and warned him as usual, she wasn’t going to give him a discount, even if he was a prince and he laughed, knowing full-well that the Sparrowfeathers traded only for the right price. He then paid for the apples and waved goodbye, promising he would return later to have a chat. Now that he’s acquired his snack ... it was time to explore past the market district. 

     Just as he resumed his steps forward, he found himself bumping into a smaller figure and some apples slipped from the paper bag, rolling onto the ground. ❝ Woah ! Sorry. Are you alright ? ❞ When he met the stranger’s face, he noticed his hood had flew off within that moment and immediately, the silver hair caught his eye. Before he could even process who this stranger could possibly be, his first thought settled upon the fact that he was the most beautiful person he’s ever laid his eyes upon. A pink hue dusted his cheeks and he gazed at him with awe until the other’s eyes narrowed and he quickly ran off without a word, tossing his hood back on as if to hide from the world. Odd looks and suspicious murmurs came his way but it went unnoticed by him.

     Sorey quickly snapped out of his trance as soon as he was falling out of sight. He rushed to retrieve the fallen apples and began to chase him without thinking as curiosity got the better of him. Come to think of it ... he had a silver hair. Surely, he wasn’t part of that clan, was he ? 

     As he chased him down, he noticed people were staring rather strangely the further he went ( scornful perhaps ? )The scenery seemed to become less lively and less refined but eventually, he came to a stop when the stranger suddenly stopped to turn to meet him with wary eyes. With that, another apple fell and rolled at the other’s feet. 

     Ah, crap. He sort of acted without thinking, huh ? He wasn’t sure what to say. ❝ Uh, sorry ... you just sort of ran off so I wondered if something was wrong ... ❞ Gods. He was an awful liar. He let loose a nervous laugh and lowered his gaze momentarily. ❝ ... Are you part of that clan ? -- I’m not here to hurt you or anything ! I just -- I guess it’s my first time seeing someone with silver hair so I got curious ... ❞  

     “So that’s what Seraphim are within this world...” Ain trailed off, legs idly crossed one over the other as he sat ‘pon a manifested ball of light. 

     Nothing like the Seraphim he knew existed beyond the visage of mortal domain. Those who existed in far more powerful ways than he himself. By comparison, his existence had been a very frail one. Something that could blink out within an instant, should he stray too far from his only source of energy.

     This world was a curious one, the energy sources seemed considerably more stable & even the ability to purify demons was at their disposal. It was truly an ideal one, by many comparisons to the one which he had traversed & grown stronger in.

     His expression is pondersome. Despite the forces of light having a significant upper-hand in this world, Ain can sense a certain equilibrium, as the rise & fall of one’s own breath. Both light & dark would constantly war without end. Such was merely how the worlds had been created & was likewise how they would end. 

     If hope for a lasting peace was something they strove for, then they would be striving ‘til the world itself ceased. But that was half the fun, wasn’t it? The journey was what meant the most, Ain mused. & to feel as much as one could, before that very end. 

     “At first,” Ain started, a soft smile finally finding it’s way ‘pon his lips. Gentle. Genuine. 

     “I thought you might be an envoy such as myself. I can tell the similarity in our existences by your energy. But the rules here are different, I see.” 

    He allows vivid green eyes to slip shut, something of a sigh escaping him then. 

yeee Saens was part of my final musics exam i honestly could listen to danse macabre for eternity sdfghgfdsdfg

i had this tape of the animal carnival ballet and the aquarium was so trippy i was like nope nope nope nope but ye it make sense to be in fantasia tbh

Oof, I never knew that’s where it came from tbh, my family has never been too big on classical music. So here I am going through stuff and finding a lot of old nostalgic tunes I forgot about.
