Snowflake Blade Dancer Astera was going to be a place of new beginnings, or so she hoped. There were many a mystery to unravel and unearth under the promise of adventure, and there wasn’t such a thing as a journey too grand or too insignificant to a woman who’s greater ambitions lay in the matters of wandering aimlessly among the crowds, seamlessly navigating the roads that traversed the neighboring cities like nobody’s business. It had been more of a habit for her of sorts, unable to truly manage the urge to walk, as if something compelled her to keep moving despite being bound to responsibilities. The circumstances have changed, evidently, and though it was unspeakable for her to put off the duty of finding her way back home, her inner being was calm and quiet, as if the storm was only in her head, having passed before it even started. Hence, she found herself situated under the bright and blinding lights of Astera, watching the evening blur into an ungodly mix of vice and beauty, lies and art. It was that sort of day, the kind that’d soothe a rhythmic trance into your old bones; the kind of day where the children were smiling and the flowers were fresh and everything was part of a luminescent picture book. Underneath the large umbrella that shielded her from the rays of the evening lights overlooking the span of blue was a woman, or a girl, with a mop of silver hair and a white hood thrown softly against her shoulders. Hers was the form of uncertainty and doubt, a forlorn expression adorning her fragile features and though her eyes were hazy and unfocused, the cheery blue pigment was reflected clearly in the glass that made her irises. She leaned into the gale to feel the white salt spray that came crashing right over the wooden structure that extended into the sea. Through squinting eyes, she drank the sight of the waves, the roaring and pounding obliterated all other sounds and her mind was awash with exhilaration. Serenity was all that glazed over her soul and at that precise moment, she felt nothing other than peace; as if she could do anything without a care in the world. |

Another day, another storm. The man who had received his moniker for being able to call and tame such things had found himself walking along the beach on this solitary day. What exactly had brought him here, that he wasn't completely sure of. He didn't have much a reason to be here, maybe it was the storm that called him here. Maybe it was this subconscious need to get out of the house for a while. The last few days had been spent tending to the needs of others, and not even remotely to himself, it was something he had difficulty handling. He felt as though he hadn't had any peace. Perhaps that was the reason he was called here today.
He pulled a clove cigarette out of his pocket and placed it up to his lips, snapping his fingers to light it. He took a drag, exhaling a large cloud of smoke followed by a very deep sigh. He took his notebook out of the bag he had with him, perhaps he could get some writing done. Maybe that was the kind of therapy he needed to quiet the storm in his mind, let alone the one around him. The amount of emotions he had stored up inside him would hopefully be quelled if he were able to use them in a constructive manner.
With a few strokes of his pen, he found that he had almost nothing in his head but frustrations, and it was coming through in his writing. That was not something he could accept, this was not the tone he wanted his book to take. It seemed that no matter how he tried to convey his emotions, they wouldn't take the shape he wanted, as if he were being taunted by them. He laid down his pad and pen on a table on the pier he had made his seat on. Jumping down onto the sand bellow walking onto the beach.
He made his way to the waves, electricity crackling around him. He had been pulled in so many different directions, by so many people. None of whom he thought took his feelings into consideration. He let out a scream, filled with nothing but pure emotion, causing black lightning to strike all around him. Creating quite the light show for any onlookers. Each strike more violent until the last, his bellowing only getting louder the more he explored what he was feeling, not caring that his throat was contracting in pain.

Snowflake Blade Dancer Snowflake was no lucky woman, as she herself had an intense belief that involved her accumulative fortune being placed at the very bottom of the probability scale. Granted, however, it seemed coincidence was probably his best asset as of current, as she watched the sky overhead unexpectedly turning gray with pillows of white flocking in the vast empyreans above. Lightning lit the skies in brilliant streaks. Fog embraced every tree, every square centimeter of the ground. Thunder declared itself as some rock star upon the stage. The weather was just perfectly fine a mere second ago, now how has it come to this? – she thought. The townsfolk began scattering away from the pier in fear of the incoming rain as if they were daggers falling from the heavens above. From a distance, a sound akin to that of birds and dancing winds momentarily drew her attention away from the foreboding storm, enough for Snowflake to consider angling her head the other way to see the figure of a man by the beach. Flecks of lightning lit up his body and it didn’t take her long enough to register that the unknown man was thickly surrounded by potent magic. Furious that not only her day—but also the weather—had been ruined, the woman pushed herself upright and proceeded onto the beach where she collected a stray pebble from the coastal sand and threw it right at his head. ”Stop that, ” she bellowed over the roaring winds that silenced her voice. ”That’s your doing, right?” The woman was referring to the streaks of lightning and the crashes of thunders that rained above. ”You’re seriously ruining my day and everyone else’s.” Her gaze as cold as ice and her voice as icy as the winds from the north, she looked upon the man with her white cloak flipping around her furiously. There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes—perhaps she felt as if she had been rather impolite with the man, but it didn’t change the fact that his magic just turned a perfect day into turmoil. |

The storm that was Manzo was quieted without warning, well he took a rock to the face. He fell backwards, finding himself looking up at the sky. It was true that he had indeed blackened the sky on what was an otherwise beautiful day. He lifted his hand to sky and fired off a black bolt of lightning, causing the sky to clear and the sun to shine brightly once more.
Though there was something odd going on around his nose, he felt something warm, and also wet. He put his hand to the area, pulling it back to find crimson staining his hands. Who ever threw that rock had some serious fire power behind them, enough to break his nose with a single rock to the face. While he was in pain, all he could do is laugh at himself. That was just how the universe seemed to be going for him these days.
He laid on the ground staring at the sky above thinking to himself, was it right of him to have lashed out lack that in public, someone could have gotten hurt, he was lucky all he did was ruin their day for a few minutes. He reached into his pocket, blood still streaming from the bridge of his nose, and pulled out a cigarette. He put it to his lips and snapped his fingers causing it to light at the end. He would inhale, then exhale a cloud of smoke quite slowly, wanting to savor every moment of it.
The burn reminded him he was still alive, still capable of feeling. Though at this point he wished that he wasn't, nothing seemed to be going his way, not just in his personal life, but in his professional one as well. "Maybe if I just lay here, the world will pass me by." He said to himself, blowing smoke from his nostrils.

Snowflake Blade Dancer She watched the rock come into contact with the person she’d thrown it towards, as the stranger pivoted his heels, and there it went—the rock pummelled right into his nose. A stream of blood rushed down his nostrils as the impact of the force sent him falling onto the sandy beach with a thud. It wasn’t neither her intention to aim it at his face, nor the strength that was exerted in her arms; thanks to her significant growth in power, that led to quite the ridiculous scene before her eyes. ”Whoops,” she muttered under her breath nonchalantly, to none other than herself as she realised her mistake to tossing a pebble at a stranger a little too late. Rather, Snowflake witnessed an action that left her perplexed. Instead of getting back on his feet, the stranger remained stationary and it made her wonder if she had actually murdered an innocent person by throwing a stone at his face. 1 second. 2 seconds. The woman waited, standing still, expecting for some kind of response and all of a sudden, the figure whipped out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up with a snap of his fingers. Completely bewildered, the woman performed no other action except raising her eyebrow in confusion. What a strange man, she thought. Above her was finally a stretch of clear sky, and though the pale blue colour was inviting in its own right, leering into it echoed nothing but forlorn thoughts, lost in the transition of cloud to puff to nothingness over the short span of a few moments. Hesitantly, she approached the man just to see if she had done any other damage than a nose bleed and leaned above his face, with wrists secured to the back, her feet firmly rooted into the golden sand. A single strand of snowy white hair fell past her shoulder, ”That’s very deep,” she commented on a quote that he’d uttered, whilst examining his face. ”You seem fine—no serious injury.” Quite the rude introduction that she’s made, even after when she was the one who presumably assaulted an innocent bystander. ”Anyhow, apologies for your, um…nose,” her voice had a hint of awkwardness and guilt as she let out a discreet cough. ”Wasn’t really my intention.” |

A face full of loveliness blocked out his view of the sky from where he was laying. While it wasn't an issue for him personally. He wasn't sure as to why she was sticking around after bloodying him. Then again any normal person who injured someone who would probably do the same thing she was doing. Maybe it was he who was the weird one, thinking it odd to check on someone after such an altercation had occurred.
He pulled himself up from the sand, exhaling a cloud of smoke whilst doing so. Running his fingers through his hair, sand falling onto his shoulders from doing so. He let out a sigh as he brushed off the grains from his shoulders. He looked over to the female assailant who was sticking around for the moment. "We since our first impressions have gone so swimmingly might as well give you my name." He stood up, brushing more sand off from his pants before continuing. Manzo truly hated the feeling of sand, it's dry, course, and it gets everywhere.
"Names Mattori Manzo, Blue Pegasus guild." He was going to extend his hand for a shake but then quickly remembered that he had blood dripping down his face, and a little bit on his hand from having touched it. To be sure no one would want to shake his hand with biological material still on it. Manzo snapped his fingers, a small electric current closing up the wound on his nose, as well as cleaning off the blood from his hand and face at the atomic level, leaving not trace behind. "Sorry about that, pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Snowflake Eternal Winter The woman thought about extending her hand to help him up albeit, he seems reluctant to do so, seeing how his hands were blood stained. Good for her, as she wasn’t really willing to hold hands that would dirty hers either. It was quite the interesting encounter they had, so Snowflake might as well do a favour of remembering his name, in case they have any encounters in the near future. She doubted she would remember, but for now she would. ”Oh, a fellow Pegasus mage.” She raised her eyebrows playfully. Hm, a new face, she thought, amused. Certainly, she had never seen him in the guild before, nor did she ever saw any of the newcomers, nonetheless, it was a good thing that the guild was attracting members again. ”Manzo is alright, yeah?” questioned the female, and without bothering to wait for his response she nodded to none other than herself, sticking with what she would address him as. ”I go by Snowflake.” For a woman with little words, her sentence was never more than just a few simple words, as long as it delivered the message. ”Don’t apologize, it wasn’t your fault. I didn’t think it would hit right at your face.” Her hand reached to her hair as she wrapped it around her index finger and fiddled with it: a habit that was most often practiced when she was embarrassed. Well, at least she came up to own up for her deeds and seeing how she had apologized, it would be best if she just simply let the man gaze into the horizon beyond if he wished and she would just return to her daily chores, but only after she produced an awkward gesture of a wave to the man, ”It was my pleasure meeting you.” EXIT |
