--Book 5 - Wild Side--

Prologue

• Neferteri with Nina, back at Sanbi castle.

  • Neferteri tells her that Eori has been behaving badly, and she needs all the support she can get.
  • Nina says she will do it. She then asks why they are hiding with Nari gel.
  • Neferteri says that it is super secret research, and that other kingdoms will try to steal it. That is why they need to keep it super secret.
  • Neferteri says to keep it a secret from father as well. Nina giggles, “okay!”
  • Neferteri is trying to break her own patterns by becoming even more involved with Nina... She is aware of her narcissistic tendencies, and relaizes she is now repeating the same controlling bs her own parents did, but her conviction that she can do things differently speaks louder, that somehow she can ster the ship back from been so afar from where she designed reality to be...

Chapter 1 - Prey

• Harry 7-A running through the forest. Autumn colors, leaves starting to fall.

  • Harry ran, and ran, and ran some more. He does not remember even how long he has been running. His legs began to feel heavy, his body grew heavy as well. Soon after, his balance became uncontrollable, and he crashed against a tree, and fell on the ground.
  • He breathed heavily, as the queue of pain, all blocked by the pure adrenaline rush, began to dequeue all at once into his mind. His feet, the worst offender, have been leaking blood for a while, leaving a trail behind. Not exactly too recognizable to the eye, as it rather quickly blended into the sea of leaves being carried by the constant chilly wind.
  • Harry brought himself to a sit up, and looked at the bottom of his feet. Sticks, and stones encrusted on his feet like a jewel, a painfully macabre one. He pulled on one, the pain felt like a needle going through the bone, followed immediately by a warm pounding sensation that tickled his feet to no end. The accelerated healing made him laugh, cry, and agonize all at once.
  • One after another, he cleaned his feet, but with a caveat that the healing was growing slower with each one of them.

• Harry 7-A is about to eat a delicious looking fruit that the Bagarisas are screaming at him about. He still eats then pukes his guts out minutes later.

  • Harry walking through the forest, with hand on stomach, looking at a fruit that appears too delicious to be true.
  • Harry eats his fill. He feels amazing. Like no other. He looks around, forest all around. What should I do? Where do I go? He sees the sisters again. He remembers the moment Katsumi kicked him out.
  • A sinking feeling envelopes Harry. He starts walking, but the more he walks the worse the feeling gets. His saliva grows denser, his throat clenches, and his stomach turns
  • Harry holds himself against a tree and pukes his guts out. He feels even weaker now.
  • He spits and begins walking again. Aimless looking at the greying skies.

• Harry 7-A, at the base of a large tree, trying to stay away from the rain as night approaches He has fires on his fingertips. Drawn praying Wozen eyes in the bg.

  • 
  • The cold rain hits Harry’s skin, but if Harry closed his eyes, it felt like ice cubes trying to pierce his skin. The fire on his fingertips is his only salvation, but
  • A passing wind only makes it worse, taking away his concentration, and with it the fire of his fingertips.
  • A cold feeling brings a chill to Harry. He tries to concentrate on the fire again, but he is shaking too much. The bitter cold takes over his mind every time.
  • Harry feels something on his left, he moves his head. “AGRHGHRHHRHGR”
  • A toothy mouth flashed on his vision, bringing him to the ground. Harry felt the warmth again, but of his own blood quickly squirting through his neck.
  • I don’t wanna die! I don’t wanna die! Harry flew his arms around, hitting the beast right in the eyes.
  • The beast jumped back. Harry gurgled blood as he put his hand on his neck. The beast used its paw, and sharp claws at Harry’s gut.
  • Harry felt his intestines eject from his belly, and warm his skin. The sudden throbbing pain of his gut began to fade, and his whole body began to warm up. Harry, with his last strength, put his hand against the beast and screamed—or rather gurgled loudly—as the flame took over his fingers, then flashed through his whole forearm, before flaming out.
  • Harry’s forearm slumped towards the ground, and so did Harry’s head forward, as he. Harry Sanbi, died in the middle of “butt fuck nowhere”

Chapter 2 - Penitence

• Sisters walking on the road as the sun rises. Katsumi pulling the Katsuki.

  • The short haired sister pulls herself away from the long sister and starts walking back.
  • Katsumi grabs her. She tries to fight herself free.
  • “Too late now! Harry’s dead meat! He’s not gonna survive the night.”
  • The Katsuki pulls weak punches on her sister.
  • She takes then like it’s nothing. “Don’t you realize we had to leave him behind! He became luggage the moment he hit the ground hard!”
  • Sister keeps punching her. “One. No! Two. Harry. Savior.”
  • Katsumi holds her hands. “All right. Cut it out! Harry is not a savior. He's nobody like us, and what does nobody do? They save themselves!”
  • Silent tears pour out of her sister as her imprisoned hands calms down. “One. Trust Broken. Two. No Sister.”
  • “What are you talking about? I am your sister! Listen Here! I just want us to be free! Emelia, Arukia, and all the other Red Winga people are full of shit!”
  • The sister hangs her head. Tears fall out as she goes silent.
  • The Katsumi. “There’s no coming back now. C’mon. Let’s go.”

• Sisters sketchy people from Black Magina in egua rideback.

  • Katsumi fights verbally. Triggers the ire of the bandits. They endup drawing their swords after she refuses to come with them to work at a farm, and the bandits realize they are Red Winga whores.

• Sisters fleeing from bandits. Raining.

  • The Katsumi is pulling the Katsuki along, they run.
  • The Katsuki pulls herself away, and stops dead in her tracks. “ONE! ENOUGH! TWO! KILL—ME!”
  • The Katsumi slaps her sister, then pulls her, but she won’t go. “C’mon! C’MON!”
  • The Katsuki resists her sister. She frees herself and starts walking towards the incoming bandits.
  • The Katsumi. “All right! FINE! SUIT YOURSELF!”
  • The Katsumi runs away, she bits her lips in anger as she flees with all the strength she has left, but her sister’s face keeps coming back to her, haunting her. She trips and falls into the mud. Her body strength is waning. She tries to get up, but she feels a sharp thing poking her back.
  • A hoarse voice invades her brain. “I like ‘dem tight!”
  • A thunderstorm roars through the skies.
  • “Hey Fuckface! Can’t you see they are Red Winga property?”
  • “So what? They are whores anyways!”
  • “Red Winga Whores! Can’t you imagine how much info they have?”
  • “And?”
  • “And we can gather information from them you retarded Brunto. Let’s go! I knew I spotted gold.”

Chapter 3 - Payback's a bitch and a half.

• Bagarisas heals Harry #8-A. The Bagarisas all seem lean, thinner.

  • Harry sees Bagarisa kissing him. He pushes it away, screaming. They kinda stink.
  • The bagarisas oinks at hin, as if complaining of the bad treatment.
  • Sounds of animals in the distance, the smell of rotting leaves in the bg. He glances at his shirt, or what is left of it. He sits up against the same tree as before, and touches his body. Everything is back where it is supposed to bem but his even thinner now. As a matter of fact, two of the Bagarisas are also quite lean compared to the rest of them. They healed me! Harry moves towards the underweight bagarisas, and hugs them “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t know!”
  • Oinks of understanding, if such a thing can be inferred, came from the two Bagarisas. The others, including a female one, threw a spell against the foliage above, cursing fruits to fall over, Harry protected his head, and sure enough a fruit came crashing down against his hand, then fell by his groin.
  • Harry rubbed the pain, then picked up the fruit, and was about to jam into his mouth when he remembered his last encounter. He watched the Bagarisa eat it first, specifically that they were just eating the white interior.
  • Harry followed suit, and he almost cummed from how good it was.
  • He, and the bagarisas, stripped the tree of all its fruits.

• Harry with Bagarisas getting ready to sleep, all of them pretty full.

  • Harry feels the comfort of the situation. They stunk, but not so bad anymore. Maybe Harry's nose stopped working, but who cared. Harry felt an amazing comfort and protection. The cold wind now felt like a cool breeze of the A/C keeping the warmth of a cozy blanket just right.
  • One of the Bagarisas stood up. His back lit up on fire. The others realized too, and all seemed to be pretty defensive.

• Two Wozens attack the Bagarisas.

  • In a flash, the Bagarisas, and wozes began attacking one another.
  • Harry saw one of the Bagarises, the same one who healed him, agonize over its death, just like Harry did.
  • A anger, hatred brewed inside him.
  • Harry screamed as he threw himself against the Wozen from the back. With a firm tackle, Harry’s hand lit up on fire and began burning the Wozen alive. They struggled even more.
  • Harry ended up killing the Wozen by burning his hand against its face & mouth.

• Harry 8-A has wood ready to go, with chunks of meat, and fur shoved in a makeshift stick on the side of the fire.

  • Piece of bloodied stone on the side.
  • Harry looks kinda disgusted by the result, but he eats it anyway. He spits fur.
  • The bagarisas want some. He gives it all to them. They clean their plate.
  • Harry. “Can you guys help me out of here?”
  • The bagarisas oinks back.
  • Harry: Wait*. Where would I even go?*
  • Bagarisa oinks some more. They point towards a specific direction. Harry follows them.

Chapter 4 - Unwanted job

• Kibe with his captain guards going through their daily jobs.

  • Kibe. “That’s it. You can all go now.”
  • Captains all standup, refusing to leave.
  • Kibe. “What? We’re done with the city safety debriefing.”
  • One of the captain guards approaches Kibe. “We want you to retire.”
  • Kibe. “Sure. How do I do that?”
  • The whole room goes silent, and look at each other. Murmurs over each other, about what needs to happen, slowly fills the room. A distinct voice, perhaps because it is the only one with confidence, speaks in the back of the room, but does not reach everyone. A sudden sharp clear of the throat, from that same voice, cuts through all the arguments. “According to Sanbi Law, only an apprentice can replace a courtroom scientist.”
  • {JWK} Name
  • Kibe. “All right then, you’re now my apprentice.” Kibe glances at the moving clouds in the distance, then back at the young, confident man. “Now you're the courtroom scientist.”
  • Everyone in the room turns to the new courtroom scientist. He slowly shakes his head. “You’re missing a few steps. First, the 3 others need to approve a new apprentice. Second, a public hair paint must occur. Third. you need to train me to be up to par. Fourth, You resign publicly, then I take over the cargo in a public event too. That one can be the same.”
  • Kibe “Let’s do that then. Let’s go get the approval. Everyone else, just go already.”
  • The young man. “Not so easy. You need to create a letter summarizing all my qualities, and why I am the one.”
  • Kibe groans. “How do I write this letter?”
  • “I can show you.”

• Kibe & Huneo at the meeting with Neferteri, Itagiba, Eiri.

  • They all approve except Neferteri. She drills him with questions. Eiri asks if she suspects Huneo. She says that this is all happening too fast.
  • Neferteri clears her throat. “The law was followed to the letter, albeit pretty hastily. My voting has no bearing on the matter. Shall we continue with the topic?”
  • Eiri looks at the paper, when the jovial guy says “Arranging the ceremony. I would like it to be done in two days.”
  • Itagiba “That soon? But there would not be enough time to advertise it.”
  • Neferteri keeps her suspicious looks, and goes silent. Huneo points at his massive reformation list. “There’s no time to be jerking around.”
  • Eiri then talks about getting a day off to see Coema depart. Neferteri does not like even hearing the name. She just holds her badge, and tells Eiri to not bring Coema here.

• Kibe & Huneo in the ceremony.

  • Kibe. “I’m out.”
  • Guy in the bg. “Man! You suck!”
  • Another person. A strong, tall Darfaries “Yeah! I give you an amethyst If you could suck me as much you did on this job. hahahah”
  • Kibe pauses, almost as if taking a mental picture of the person in question, before heading off stage.
  • The new guy comes in, and makes a long speech. The crowd cuts him off. “Sanbi Shit! Are you gonna talk all day or what? I got a fish to gut!”
  • The new guy skips over several pages. “Thank you all, and—and I hope to earn your trust.”
  • The crowd erratically, but energetically applauds as they look at one another. They are not quite sure of what to make of this Forway lookalike uptight guy.
  • “Just—just one more thing. I will nominate Kibe as my apprentice.”
  • Kibe, walking off in the distance, turns around. He thinks his ears just stopped working.
  • “Kibe is an exceptional guy when it comes to following specific directions, so he would be my perfect right-hand. Oh which I will officially introduce a vote for a position rename as well.”
  • The crowd stares at Kibe.
  • Kibe “What?”
  • The jovial guy smiles. “Pay will be the same as an apprentice.”
  • Kibe shudders as he turns back towards Huneo.

Chapter 5 - Home sweet home, kinda.

• Harry 8-B Fighting with wildlife. Bagarisas participates as well.

  • Fight happens. Harry with Bagarisas seems to be getting the rhythm of each other better. Two Bagarisas die during the fight, then the other revives it.
  • Harry uses the exploding forward power of Bagarisa.
  • A bagarisa heals Harry. Harry cuddles with it. “Thank you! I love you guys!”
  • Happy oinks.
  • Harry then grows unhappy because he was still stuck in the forest.

• Harry 8-B stumbles by an abandoned shack..

  • Near Sundown. Bagarisa finds the remains of someone not far from the shack. Bagarisas chew on it. Harry realizes it was someone.
  • Harry tells the bagarisa to stop. He looks at the clothes, older woman. He looks at the inside. Asks if there is anybody, but nobody replies.

• Harry 8-B Inside the Shack with the bagarisas.

  • Inside Harry uses the fost stone, the Bagarisas all flee to the outside.

  • Harry sighs.
  • Harry sees a fishing rod.
  • Harry goes to sleep.

Chapter 6 - Contract Nullification

• Eori is in the room by herself, trying to free herself.

  • Morika comes into the room. Eori is aggressive when he tries to feed her, and results in violence.
  • He knocks her out, then talks more about how to deal with her. They really can’t, so they drop Black Honey down her throat.

• Eori, Neferteri & Morika. Neferteri is seated right across Eori with the adventurers standing by her. Another seat by Neferteri is empty.

  • 
  • Eori is staring at Neferteri. She has some of the same look as Yacamim/Maiara “So what now?”
  • Neferteri. “Princess—daughter Eori. My daughter Eori. When I stated that Harry was going to be under your care, I meant as in using him as a tool to further our scientific knowledge, and our kingdom into the future.”
  • Eori, “I gave you a fuck load of new Nari gel? What about it?”
  • Neferteri. “Speaking through the contract alone, you are delivering double the minimum required, but this is no longer about the contract between us, this is about your relationship with Harry.”
  • Eori stands up and shouts “I NEVER SAID I LOVED HIM!”
  • The guards step forward, protecting the queen.
  • Eori curls up her fists and seats back, holding back a sea of emotions.
  • Neferteri raises her hand. The guards step back. Neferteri lets the awkward silence envelop the room in a thick atmosphere. “I am the queen of Sanbi Kingdom, but most of all I am the mother of four princesses. I trusted you with an important task despite my reservations regarding your ability to care for others. However, your inability to control your emotions turned out just as unacceptable as Maiara... and Yacamim.”
  • Eori stares deep at her mother, her mother stares back just as intensely.
  • Their clash of resolve is broken, when Neferteri closes her eyes. “Princess Nina, please come in.”

• Nina holds a contract, about to say stuff to Eori with Neferteri’s assistance.

  • // Image: Nina comes into the room holding a contract. She smiles from ear to ear as she climbs up a chair and stands tall, and with a pumped chest, she unrolls the contract and attempts to imitate a guard declaring a punishment sentence.
  • “With the afore—mentioned clause—sules. Queen Neferteri shall terminate the contract, and research funding.” Nina with a pumped chest, she unrolls the contract and attempts to imitate a guard declaring a punishment sentence.
  • Neferteri calmly applauds Nina’s effort. “Thank you princess Nina. Based on y—”
  • Eori feels the end of the line approaching. Tears begin pouring out of her eyes. Her cries evolve to a child caught stealing candy.
  • Neferteri stood up, and hugged her crying daughter. “As queen of Sanbi Kingdom, I hereby relieve you of your research duties.” Tears flowed from Neferteri as a flashback to a dead fetus creeped back into her memory. “I’m sorry Eori. I should have known.”
  • Eori’s scrappy voice follows up “Harry? I love him. I want him!”
  • Neferteri. “The search quest has been created..”
  • Eori. “Thank you. Mom. What will happen to the contracts I signed?”
  • Neferteri “I will deal with them. Nina, Shall we all apply the disguises, and return to the castle?
  • “Yeahhh!!” A crying Nina joins the fray with a group hug.

Epilogue

• Neferteri with Morika, Namia & Posaqui.

  • Neferteri. “Are we in the clear?”
  • Namia “I don’t hear anyone. Go ahead my queen.”
  • Neferteri “Morika, have you accomplished your goals?”
  • Morika “Yes my queen. I finished burying Gabiro’s research.”
  • Neferteri, “Namia & Posaqui. Was it successful?”
  • Posaqui “Yessu! I was able to lay a total of thirty five misdirections for the adventurers.”
  • Namia “Three adventurers stumbled upon where Sinoi was captured, but they did not find any new information.”
  • Neferteri “I appreciate all of your resolve in aiding me in this matter. From now onwards, we will let the quest grow stale, and allow time to heal my daughter’s heart.”
  • Morika “My queen, may we ask what our next instructions are?”
  • Neferteri “Finding Harry & Sinoi. For that matter, I want you three to fully return to your adventurer role, and cast a wide net through the kingdom.” Neferteri hands out a badge from her bag. “However, I am afraid we only have a single badge, and it is for Harry. Furthermore, I will cut my stipend by half. I apologize for the lack of resources, but the new Courtroom scientist is restless on probing Eiri for expenditure information.”
  • Morika “We shall do our best.“
  • Neferteri. “Furthermore, I also want you three to investigate Arukia’s disappearance. The more I ponder on the subject, the more intertwined her actions seem to be. However, put your own safety above hers, for we do not know what her, or whoever controlling her, are.”
  • Namia “I’m terribly sorry my queen. I had high confidence in my findings when I first observed Arukia.”
  • Neferteri. “I don’t doubt your expertise, Namia. Arukia was simply too clever in disguising who she truly was.”

--Book 6 - Sabbatical--

Prologue

• Hiromi & Yacamim in a small bar in the road between Forway & Sanbi

  • They talk about their adventures and exploits, and such. Hiromi cheers when a kinda drunk female adventurer just sits by Hiromi and starts talking “Hey! You two! Wanna buy me a beer in exchange for awesome gossip!”
  • Yacamim “How about my foot on your ass? Huh?”
  • Hiromi hugs the guy and clashes beers “Shhhhh lady! Let the guy peddle his stuff. Alright bud, what kind of gossip are we talking about?”
  • Like a certain missing person that a certain someone is paying ten sapphires.
  • Hiromi makes a circular finger motion to the bartender. The bartender gives a thumbs up. “Lemme guess—a rich merchant’s kid was abducted by Blue Wozens again?”
  • The female adventurer “Not even close, you giant feller! Sanbi Royal posted a quest a few days ago calling all adventurers to find a guy called Harry. I think Eori is on heat or something like that over him too.”
  • The bartender slaps three full beers at the table. Yacamim has an air of doubt to her, but she ignores it as she drowns herself in a large beer.
  • Hiromi looks at Yacamim. “When did your sister become that frisky?”
  • A spit takes blows over the table. Yacamim, suffocates herself, bringing the patrons of this roadside bar to her attention for just a bit. “You fucking cunt. Why would you put it like that?”
  • Hiromi laughs it off “My bad, I guess, but I only remember her being innocent. I guess I haven’t really talked to her in years at this point.”
  • Yacamim “If you laid back on the booze everytime we entered the castle, you would probably remember something you fat cunt.”
  • Hiromi gets serious, “You be drinking too, cut the crap.”
  • Yacamim “Fuck you! You’re the one emptying our home stockpile.”
  • Hiromi! “Fuck that! Fuck you!” he stands up, and pumps his arm, as if calling her for a thrown down.
  • Yacamim sits down in her beer mug so violently, that it dings both the mug, and the table.
  • “Hey you two! Gonna pay for that or you want someone to teach you a lesson?” A large man, not dissimilar from Hiromi himself, but much older, comes from the corner.
  • They approach each other with firsts ready quenching for blood, but at the last second they do the Darfaries greeting.
  • Hiromi “Damm brohta! Haven’t seen you since retired!”
  • “Still living the life? I’m good with adventure. Found whatI wanted.”
  • “For fucking real? You actually found the juiciest pussy of the four kingdoms? Damm, brotha. Proud of ya!”
  • They clash the hands, while further exchanging stories. Meanwhile, a sexually deflated Yacamin rolls her eyes, puts her hand on her pocket and throws a few amethyst in the table as she leaves.

She runs towards the end of the field, a forest at the border inviting her freedom away, when suddenly an arrow pierces through her knees, bringing her down to the ground. She screams in agony as her tore up knee bleeds out. With her last breaths, she crawls towards the end when her body gives out.
  • 

• Katsuki looking at her sister from the metal frame window as she is being fucked by the Black magina field boss.

  • 
  • Maybe add a Wozen Nari Gel mix to her? Make it cute, but signify that the Magina guy is into weird kinks.
  • Katsuki’s eyes as she sees her sister running, then suddenly falling down. She closes her eyes as she feels the breaths of booze and sloopy penetration of the so-called magina boss.
  • She tries to ignore it as she imagines what life would be like if Red Winga hadn’t captured them. Blank. She tries even harder to imagine, but nothing seems to come. Aside a sudden warm, and tingle sensation from the magina boss coming inside her. She feels it all, but chooses to not really feel it. Her mind comes and goes with memories of her life so far, and it has been nothing but pleasing to others.

  • Aurora clears her throat “Princesses?”
  • The princesses let go of one another, and sat down in unison as a blanket of emotions covered in shame swept them both. They look away from each other while Aurora approaches them by the middle. “Princess Eori, you were so busy working on Nari Gels that you never realized Maiara’s accomplishments on eggfly. She is the glue that holds the Sanbi Kingdom team together”
  • Blushy cheeks rose on Maiara. She glanced at Eori. “I’m not lazy!”
  • Aurora. “And everyone knows of your accomplishments as well, princess Eori. I can tell you are simply burned out from your research. Give it some time, maybe travel a bit to regain your mojo!”
  • Aurora puts her hands on the broader shoulder of Maiara. “Maybe cheer Priness Maiara’s tournament on XX?”

  • Both princesses stare at Aurora with a penetrating gaze. Aurora feels like she is going to crumble at any moment. “Princess Maiara, how did you ask for Harry?”
  • The princesses glanced at each other as if they suddenly realized something about the question at hand. Eori crossed her arms. “Maiara asked for a husband that could match her in combat, and Gabiro found someone from the outskirts that apparently had great innate power.”
  • Aurora “So who did he sign a contract with?”
  • The princess replied in unison. “The Queen”
  • Aurora “Can’t you ask her to decide, then?”

  • Sora “That was her without a doubt.”
  • “Hmmm—I guess good that she broke out of her shell, but where did that come from?”
  • Sora. “Love at first-sight?”
  • EIRI SUSPECTED THERE IS SOMETHING FISHY HAPPENING HERE. SHE
  • Eiri “I guess that’s a thing. Maybe all those girly novels rotted her brain.”
  • Sora’s puffed expression tells Eiri something. “Okay! I know you like them too, but you are not screaming out someone’s name out of the window!—yet!”
  • Sora turns her head away.
  • Eiri laughs as she pets Sora’s head. I guess love does make people do all kinds of crazy shit— Eiri stops on her tracks. She was reminded of how pushy Neferteri was to get Harry to sign the contract, and how much money she placed on the search quest. Did the Queen already know Eori loved Harry? But then why—“Oh Crap! Harry & Eori were having a love affair all this time!”
  • A loud gasp came out of Sora. “Then how did she have time to create all those Nari gels when you are this lovey dovey?”
  • Eiri “It’s all about love—of which you lost your chance as he is not coming back for a maid.”
  • Sora reddens in shame.
  • “Still rubs you the wrong way? Then ask him to rub you the right way.” Eiri laughs, but that laugh ends with a sad smile. One of which appears when she is reminded of coercing Harry to sign the contract in the first place. I’m sorry Harry. I hope you decided to flee it all instead…
  • Eiri tells the guard to scort Sora back to the dormitory. Eiri has a few things to talk about with Eori.

• Eori, by herself in her castle tower, looked out at the buzzling Sanbi life.

  • She imagines all the fun she had with Harry. She craves his smell, for his touch, and his obedience. She wants to go back to the house, but now she can’t because Neferteri terminated her contract.
  • A knock on the door disturbs her flashbacks. She glances back, and sees Eiri. “Hey, gotta time to spare?”
  • “I’m busy.” Eori looks back at the city life.
  • Eiri. “All right. All right. I came here to ask about Harry.”
  • Eori turns around. “What do you want?”
  • Eiri. “So what was your relationship with him? Did you break up with him or what?”
  • Eori feels the urge to explode, and smash Eiri’s face after Arukia’s face appears in her mind. Eori turns back towards the window. “Get out.”
  • Eiri. “You know, if you need—”
  • Eori. “GET OUT—NOW!” She throws a pillow towards Eiri.
  • Eiri takes a step back. She hangs her head and walks out.
  • Eori starts crying tears of pure anger. Her anger keeps climbing to the point that she begins fisting the bed with all her might. One after the other, she sees her tormentor’s face, and how tender and sweet it would be to take its life away.

Chapter 4 - Something fishy, and it ain’t the docks

• Maids in Sora dormitory rooms. Everything is clean and girly.

  • Arukia “Did Eori really say that? That’s so sweet!”
  • Sora shakes her head. “There’s something wrong! I know it!”
  • Itanema “You guys only noticed now?”
  • Everyone stops.
  • Sora. “Why didn't you say anything?”
  • Itanema. “‘Cause It wouldn’t really change anything—just connect the dots. It’s that easy.”
  • Sora & Aurora are trying to visualize the dots, and trying to connect them, but they seem unable to.
  • Itanema puts her hand in her mouth. “The walls are saying that there is a love triangle between Arukia, Eori & Harry, and Harry dumped both of them, and disappeared with someone else.”
  • Aurora gasps, and let’s her tea fall on the floor, while Sora is stuck in sheer unbelievability. Their mind now clicks for how long these people were out of the castle, or public eye for that matter.
  • Itanema. “See? I told ya it was just a matter of connecting the dots. Now, Sora, can you put some sense on Eiri, and stop with her Big Momma behavior?”
  • Sora is still finding it hard to swallow, “Then why Arukia never contacted us?”
  • Itanema “Why would she? I would find it weird if she was suddenly not private with her life.”
  • Sora still feels unsure.
  • Itanema seemingly asks a sudden question, but with a decent amount of backstory. “Sora, Don’t you want to go home with your parents?”
  • Sora shies away. She hugs her pillow.
  • Itanema “Fleeing from it all again… It's not working, is it?”
  • Aurora sits by Sora, and rests her head on her breasts. “C’mon Itanema, leave her alone. Sora, no rush.”
  • Itanema. “No rush? Are we planning to live like cooking & accounting school the rest of our lives?”
  • Aurora. “It’s not so bad. I do feel pretty safe.”
  • Itanema disagrees, but does not say anything.
  • A knock on the door disturbs the peace.

• Eiri visits the maids in the dormitory.

  • Eiri “Are you guys abusing Sora?” Eiri comes into the room, and closes the door behind her.
  • Itanema “C’mon now. This is your chance.”
  • Sora shakes her head on the pillow.
  • Eiri. “What’s this all about?”
  • Itanema “argh. I guess I will have to be the villain then—I don’t want this anymore. You’re—”
  • Eiri widens her eyes. She goes on the defensive. “But this is for the better! We lost Arukia”
  • Itanema looks at Aurora, and Sora. Sora, noticing the awkward silence, raises her teary eyes out of the pillow and looks at Eiri, then goes back to hiding.
  • Eiri “I thought you always told me everything! Sora! I don’t want to hurt you! Neither you two! Why did nobody say anything?”
  • The maid's eyes seemed to tail off. Itanema “Because you only believe Sora anyways.”
  • Eiri’s eyes moistened. “Everyone is hiding secrets from me! This is not fair! FINE! Do what you guys want! I’m going back to the castle.”
  • The maids did not know how to respond. Sora looked at Eiri leaving, she hugged her pillow even more tight.
  • The pillow flew to the right, and Sora hugged Eiri from the back.
  • Eiri stood there, silent, or rather, unsure what to say.
  • Sora. “I’m sorry!”
  • Eiri smiled a bit, then contained her smile. “If you are so sorry, then you will come live with me.”
  • The maids in the back began laughing. Sora felt relieved, but apprehensive. “Yes, Big Momma.”
  • Eiri. “Good. You guys are free to go back home in the morning” Eiri turned around “But! The guards will still accompany you for a bit while I figure out this fishy smell.”
  • Sora “Itanema already did.”
  • Eiri. “Really? I’m all ears then.”

• Eiri, widened eyes, having listened to all the maids. Sora is sleeping against Aurora. Itanema sitting. Eiri, thinking strangely.

  • Eiri. “I just can’t believe it. I want to believe it, but I don’t. Hmmmm. It also makes sense as to why Neferteri was so willingly to call a search quest for Harry, and to even ask me to get him to sign the contract in the first place. She loves Eori the most after all.”
  • EIEI SPILLS THE BEANS ON ALL THAT SHE KNOWS.
  • Itanema. “That contract was not for Maiara, but for Eori?”
  • Eiri. “Wasn’t she always on those excursion trips—oh SHE WAS NOT! She was fucking Harry in the down low! Wow! It all makes sense now!”
  • Itanema. “See? I told ya all. Remember how frisky Arukia was with Harry?”
  • Aurora laughed, “The poor guy had just resuscitated, and she was already up in his business.”
  • Eiri. “Actually, this would even explain why Neferteri demanded that all Harry letters be directed through her as well. I really want to tell Itagiba, but if I do so it might just crumble the entire guild.”
  • Eiri stood up. “Girls. This conversation dies here, with us. Do not tell anyone else, or we will be in a world of trouble.”

• Eiri stood in front of the house, with all the maids packed, ready to return to their houses at the break of dawn.

  • Eiri “Remember what I told you all yesterday.”
  • The maids, in near unison, spoke. “Yes.”
  • Eiri called in Sora. Sora clumsy, and girly made her way to her. Eiri wrapped Sora in front of her. “No more secrets, okay?”
  • The maids, in near unison, spoke. “Yes.”
  • “See you all at X for making brunch.”
  • The maids split ways, Eiri hugs Sora. “Let’s go home, and take a shower?”
  • Sora felt a tingle through her body. She blushed red.
  • Eiri. “No wonder you can’t find a boyfriend. When Harry is found, you really should wash his back.”
  • Sora thinks of it, and gets even redder. She starts to walk past Eiri, getting ready to flee.
  • Eiri grabs her. “Ahh-ahh. You’re not fleeing anymore ‘cause you’re mine to play with.”

Chapter 5 - Life is Mutable.

• Harry 8-C fishing in the river.

  • Harry starts to think that this new life is not so bad. He’s free to do anything, nobody hurts him.
  • Something bites, but Harry does not hook the fish in. He pulled in the fishing line, and the bait was stolen. He slaps a new chunk of meat, and swings the line as hard as he can.
  • He has memories of Katsumi & Katsuki. Of Eori, and everyone else.
  • Something bites, Harry sets the hook in, and pulls a fish. The Bagarisas are all oinking. Harry cooks the fish on his hands, then pulls it apart, and throws it for all the Bagarisas. They go crazy slopping it up.
  • Harry looks at the distance. He sees someone coming in a boat pulled by Egua.
  • Harry retreats into the forest with the Bagarisas.

• Harry 8-C, with fishing rod, but no fish, walking back with the Bagarisas. Harry looks at the sun with his hands up,

  • “Hmmm! I guess I will arrive by early night.”
  • Harry walks with the Bagarisas. One of them oinked while bogging their head up/down a certain tree.
  • Harry: “Oh! You guys want some of that? Sure!” Harry uses his power to bring down the fruits. The bagarisas goes to town, while Harry picks it up as well. He opens the shell, and eats. He reminds himself when he has just fled from the wagon, and ate a fruit that made him puke his guts out. Harry laughs. Yeah. That sucked.

• Harry 8-C fighting with a larger wildlife near sundown.

  • Fight occurs. Harry acts as the tank, and the bagarisas deliver a side attack. Harry delivers the final blow.
  • Harry falls on the ground. Breathing deeply. “Oh wow. That was hard.”
  • Harry pulls out a rusted knife and proceeds to chop up the animal. He slaps a piece of meat, with skin facing down on the Bagarisas, then grabs a large piece, and brings with him as well.

• Harry 8-C, finished having dinner late night, with Bagarisas, they all have full bellies. Enjoying the campfire.

  • Harry, laying on the ground, looked at the stars as the fire pushed away the cold chill of the forest.
  • The Bagarisas stand up, and all look towards a certain direction. Harry does the same during the sunset
  • The bagarisas squeal in danger. Suddenly an arrow pierced into Harry's flesh. He jumps back into the house, and hugs the wall as he feels his flesh burning from the arrow within. A crippling sansation spreads through his injury and his body with each heartbeat.
  • Death Squeals come from the outside. Harry pictured the Bagarisas dying.
  • Harry Grabs the arrow, and begins to pull it out with all his strength. More squeals in the distance infiltrate Harry's mind.
  • Harry pulls the arrows with a single swing. Blood splatters all over. He coughs up the blood that filled his lungs, and spits it up as he stands up.
  • Rage overtakes Harry as he screams from deep within his guts.

• Harry 9-A seeing a gastly human figure in the far out. POV Scene!

  • 
  • Maybe a broken mirror on the side hinting the reader the flame on Harry’s head.
  • His vision is desaturated, the colors are flat, but it feels, and sees a weavering gastly flame in the oppressing shape of a human in the far forest.
  • Without a thought to his head, other than the raw, obscenely loud urge to kill.
  • With each step, he feels its hands tickling as a massive fire builds up from the arm and up.
  • The ghastly white ghost takes off running. It feels thrilling! He pursues the target with all the strength he has, until he coks his both arms back and then forward, unleashing a torrent flame that lights up the sky.
  • His ankles give in and he falls on all four. He looks forward, where there is a faintly white figure that is weavering like the flicker of a dying light.
  • Suddenly, a piercing jab plows through his stomach. He turns around and sees a gathly white figure smirking behind him. With his right hand flat, he forced it through that shite smile, and deep into its mouth. He felt a spongy, warm thing, calling to him to be grabbed and pulled, so he did. The smile in the white ghost disappeared, leaving behind a pure agony.
  • Stab! Stab! Stab! He felt the desperation of white ghost as it repeatedly pierced him in the back.
  • An ear piercing scream came out of him. His hand flares up in flame as he hears a sizzling sound come out of the ghost. He no longer has enough fire on him, but he does not let go of that spongy thing as the fire in his hands begins to wane.
  • He tries, and tries to pump out more fire, but his hand is already losing his grip.
  • He falls forward. He breathes deeply, but with each breath he only gets more out of breath. His limp body falls to the side.
  • Another ghastly figure comes into play, carrying a two-handed weapon. It carefully observes him, he barely lifts his heavy hand. He wants to kill this figure, but he simply can’t.
  • He wimps in agony as he lays there, with each breath closer to death.

Epilogue

• Itanema & Neferteri talking

  • Itanema “I did just like I told you.”
  • Neferteri. “And did Eiri’s behavior match my expectations?”
  • Itanema “It did. Now where’s Sinoi? He hasn’t contacted me in weeks!”
  • Neferteri hands her a map containing quite a few X marks around Sanbi, Curoland, Sundeath & Freeish. “Sinoi was helping Harry move around, while closely watching his movements. He disappeared at the same time as Harry.”
  • Itanema grows angry “Why didn't you tell me?”
  • Neferteri. “I still do not know who, or why, would do such a thing against Harry & Sinoi. I wanted to have a conversation with you, but with at least something tangible to inform, but I am afraid I haven;t found anything of value yet.”
  • Itanema “Then issue a search quest!”
  • Neferteri “And place his only possible excuse in jeopardy?”
  • Itanema “What do you mean by that?”
  • Neferteri. “If I do not invoke the clausules of our contract, then Sinoi has a chance of convincing whoever captured him that he has no affiliation to us.”
  • Itanema looks disappointed. She excuses herself.
  • Neferteri. “Furthermore, I foresee Aurora leaking the secret. If that were to come true, I want you to talk to Eori, and pressure her to publicly punish Aurora.”
  • Itanema. “As you wish, my queen.”
  • Itanema leaves. Neferteri. This should further stabilize the situation. Neferteri closes her eyes. Princess Eori. Daughter. Why must you keep acting that way? How should I proceed? How can I speed up the healing?

--Book 7 - Friends in Low Places—

TODO: HAVE SOMEONE IN THE WOZEN PARTY THAT BOUNDS WITH HARRY OVER SOME OF THE STUFF HE STILL REMEMBERS LIKE HOURS BEING 24 HOURS ETC. Something to bond over.

Prologue

• Kibe finds Gabiro’s journal in a pile to the side. Huneo, sitting and working.

  • Kibe “You’re still finding his journals?”
  • Huneo stops what he was working on. “Captain guards raided a personal stash of his stored at Forway scientific school.”
  • // Talk about the teacher's name.
  • Kibe stops and opens the book to glance through. Gabiro’s enigmatic scribbles cover everything. “So did you crack any of his code?”
  • Huneo “Of course not, otherwise we would have made all his research public for the benefit of the kingdom.”
  • Kibe. “I thought so. Good luck with that.”
  • Kibe piles the book back, and walks away.
  • Huneo. “Apprentice Kibe.”
  • Kibe “What?”
  • Huneo. “My guards were investigating what happened on {DAY}, and we crossed through an additional factoid that everyone glanced over: Nobody in the slums knows about Harry.”
  • Kibe “I don’t know either. I lost all memories of that day, and several weeks prior.”
  • Huneo. “I figured as much.That’s unfortunate. Thank you for your time, now proceed ahead with the tasks I was given.”
  • Kibe walks out of the room.

Chapter 1 - Sanbi’s Four Power Players XX, XX 1040 meeting.

• Huneo & Kibe meeting with Neferteri, Itagiba, Eiri.

  • Jovial guy wants an increased allowance to hunt down all Gabiro secret researches as they are all kingdom property. It’s people's money!
  • Eiri “Gabiro would go on field researches, or execute research partnerships”
  • Huneo. “I have enough evidence to confidently say he was using the kingdom's money on private research.”
  • Neferteri closes her eyes, thinking. “Might we know of such evidence?”
  • Huneo. “I gave it off to the captains to look into. Suffice to say, I believe some of those field researches were in fact used to hide away somewhere.”
  • Neferteri nods. “If your assumption is true, then that would be a grave mistake from him.”
  • Eiri. “On the budget side of things, how much are you asking for?”
  • Huneo “20 Sapphires upfront, 5 sapphires additionally per week.”
  • Eiri “Per week? Or weekly gains are around 2 right now! I can do at most 5 weeks of that without putting a strain on our coffers.”
  • Neferteri. “It is as Eiri eloquently put it. You could assign your own guards to hunt down Gabiro’s research.”
  • Huneo fights back. “Those guards are protecting the city already, I need additional resources. I cannot spare ”
  • Neferteri. “Otherwise I agree with a condition, Eori becomes an apprentice as well.”
  • Huneo. “Tsk. The Sanbi laws do not prohibit the number of apprentices. Fine but she will need to obey my orders.”
  • Neferteri raises her badge. “I will not stand between your way and hers. Dear?”
  • Itagiba. “Well, she’s grumpy, but if you think that's the best long-term for her, then sure thing.” Itagiba raises his badge as well.
  • Eiri “I think we should consult with her first.”
  • Huneo lifts his badge.
  • Neferteri “Three against one. It has been decided already. I will break the news to her.”
  • Eiri “Next matter, then—Fanchaki. Gabiro's research into Fanchaki is not panning out exactly as he envisioned. The new fanchakis are juicier, and thicker, but they are now more willing to fight back, and they seem to have more Soul Energy too.”
  • Itagiba. “Are we still profiting?”
  • Eiri “Yes, but I forecast a break-even or loss if the amount of Nari gel stone keeps increasing.”
  • Itagiba “Why?”
  • Eiri. “Healing. The Fanchakis have been more aggressive. Like as if they realized they were being culled.”
  • Itagiba. “Well, I can still spin that as a positive. I vote to just release them in the wild when we stop making money.”
  • Huneo has some grievances, but three against one means he loses it.
  • Eiri, “Next Topic, Harry.”

• Itagiba, Neferteri, Huneo & Eiri.

  • Eiri proposes increasing the quest reward, Huneo refuses. He drills them with questions about Harry, including why nobody can pinpoint his family, etc.
  • Neferteri evades the questions to get Huneo out of her trail.
  • Itagiba covers for Neferteri as well with the same marketing as he gave everyone else.
  • Eiri wants to come out clean, but seeing Neferteri’s gaze she cowered in fear.
  • Huneo buys the answers at the end, but he just does not accept increasing the reward for Harry. He demands budgeting control. Neferteri accepts to promote the idea that she is not tied so closely to Harry. Itagiba goes along, Eiri refuses, but she is outvoted.
  • Eiri holds back her emotions, and continues to the next topic.

• Itagiba & Neferteri talking one-to-one

  • Itagiba. “Hey Nefi, is everything all right?”
  • Neferteri stands up, and hugs her husband. “Of course it is. You are here with me.”
  • Itagiba asks if they are doing the right thing with Eori. Neferteri says something along the lines of occupying her mind. She needs to forget Harry.
  • Itagiba wonders if forcing her into a position is the best for her. Neferteri says she knows best, and she won't let the same emotional outbursts happen to Eori.
  • Itagiba “Maiara learned her lesson, I still think Eori should live and learn. There is a reason we have Forway laws.”
  • Neferteri. “Let me handle her. She will be a shining example.”
  • Itagiba “All right. If you feel so strongly about it, then have your way. Just give them a slack once in a while.”

Chapter 2 - An offer hard to swallow.

• Harry, #9B wakes up in a basement, tied, with a splash of cold water. Clodoveu & Wilson (holding his nose) have buckets of cold water ready to throw.

  

  • Harry wakes up from the cold water splashing him. Water droplets fall everywhere. Hardened blood and dirty murkies the water as they fall of him
  • Clodoveu. “Hey there! Sorry for the water, but we don't want you to set the basement ablaze.”
  • Wilson. “Phew. Did you ever take a bath? My man, you stink like ass! Like an ass left to rot in the sun.”
  • Marcus “Shut up.” He approaches Harry, grabs him by the Hohawk and pulls it back. He points the knife in Harry’s throat, he slits. Harry gurgles in agony as the wound heals itself nearly instantly. Harry pants as he feels weak after he heals.
  • Clodoveu. “Was that really necessary?”
  • Marcus points the knife, ready to slit again. “That was for burning my tongue alive, you motherfucker—who the fuck are you?”
  • Harry seems hesitant.
  • Marcus stabs Harry on the shoulder. “I’m not fucking around! Where is XXX?”
  • Clodoveu taps Marcus in the shoulder. Marcus moves his shoulder away, pushing Clodoveu aside “Fuck off you fag. I am talking here.”
  • Clodoveu raises his hands, then sits down.
  • Marcus looks at Harry, he grips his hands on his Mohawk really tight, he can feel his skin ungluing from his cranium.
  • “Harry.” Harry slowly let out a faint, painful voice.
  • “From Where?” Marcus was short on his response.
  • “Sanbi—Kingdom.” Harry gruels through his speech.
  • Marcus lets go of Harry. “Sanbi my ass. You are a Hifuna beast.”
  • Wilson “Waaaaaaattt! For real?”
  • Harry moves his head forward, it throbes in pain. “Haaaaaa?”
  • Marcus points the knife at Harry’s face “Don’t ha me! You're lying! You two, figure this fucker out while I rotate the Bagarisas. I want to know where that old fat bitch went to” Marcus leaves.
  • Harry pictures his friends, now being roasted alive. Fire surges from his hand, and engulfs to his elbow.
  • Clodoveu almost misses Harry’s transformation, he splashes a bucket of cold water flames out the fire. Harry shakes violently, cold.

• Harry #9B soaking wet, with the two bandits generating new cold water for the buckets.

  • Bandits generate cold water. Harry silently watches them.
  • Clodoveu. “See Wilson? That’s why Marcus does not have any friends.”
  • “For real, what an asshole—” Something clicked in Wilson’s mind. He looked to himself “Hey! Don’t use my real name! I’m not wearing fake skin!”
  • Harry shakes violently as he stares at the two.
  • Clodoveu “It’s fine. By the way, Harry, I’m Clodoveu. Sorry about the Bagarisa, but Marcus is still pissed after what you did.”
  • Harry clicked his teeth narrowly missing his tongue as he spoke, “What did I do? I was having dinner with the Bagarisas and someone attacked me! I—” everything afterwards seems like it was darkness.
  • Clodoveu. “So you don't remember, he? You burned Marcus’ tongue inside his own mouth. That was after nearly sending Wilson to the darkness.”
  • Wilson laughs. “For real, I nearly shat myself.”
  • Clodoveu. “No, you actually did shit yourself.”
  • Wilson laughs more. “Ops.”
  • Clodoveu. “So yeah. You’re not in a position to make requests, but if you spill out everything you know, I would let you join the team.”
  • Wilson “You sure?”
  • Clodoveu bobs his head. “So, Harry?”
  • Harry pictures the Bagarisas. Their happy little smiles. “You fucking killed them! I’m not joining you!”
  • Clodoveu. “That’s too bad. Then I have no choice other than make you meet the darkness.” Clodoveu grabs his weapon, he gets ready to swing while Wilson grabs a bucket of cold water.

• Clodoveu preparing to swing his weapon. Wilson with a bucket of cold water.Harry, with his eyes closed, preparing to die, just like how he did

  • Harry imagines how he died at the hands of Maiara. The feeling, how everything felt hopeless.
  • A hammer strikes the ground. Harry jumps.
  • “You don’t look like someone who wants to die, but I can tell you already did.” Clodoveu puts his weapon aside, and sits down. “You want to know what a Hifuna beast is?”
  • Harry looks at Clodoveu.
  • Clodoveu starts ”If you ever go near Hifuna, you will see all kinds of strange beasts. Most of them are animals we eat, but turned into monsters as they spend their lives out there. A friend of mine went there to loot dead adventurers, and he never came back. But you—I don’t think you are a Hifuna beast—did you sell yourself to a scientist?”
  • Harry grows curious. “Selling myself to a scientist? Is that what people do?”
  • Clodoveu “I might be able to say so. Care to tell a story of how you got this Bagarisa power?”
  • Harry looks restrained. He sees Eiri telling him to not say anything, while putting her pinky out. He looks angry. Harry nods back.
  • Clodoveu opens a bag of snacks. A huge smirk appears on his face as he munches on the snack. “Right on. Tell me every single detail.”
  • Wilson sits down as well, he goes to steal a snack from Clodoveu, when a solid look from him keeps Wilson at bay. Wilson retreats his hand, and looks at Harry. “This better be spicy!”
  • Harry felt like he was frozen, as he spoke everything he knew.

• Marcus handing out Bagarisa meat on a stick. He has a stick right in front of Harry. Harry is covered in a cloth to minimize the cold. His stomach grows. Wilson & Clodoveu are devouring the Bagarisa.

  • 
  • 
  • The tantalizing smell of the freshly cooked seasoned meat, wrapped around corn meal is making Harry’s stomach violently growl. However, the imagery of the Bagarisas, now all dead, make him feel ill at the same time. He turns his head.
  • Marcus. “I wished I had friends this good.” He proceeds to eat the Bagarisa meat in front of Harry. He salivates at the juiciness of the meat.
  • A flame appears on Harry again.
  • Water flies, and wets both Marcus and Harry.
  • “What the fuck is wrong with you, you fucking faggot?” Marcus is pissed from being ddosed alongside Harry.
  • Clodoveu sets the bucket down. “Marcus—”
  • Marcus Grabs Clodoveu by his body hair on his hairy chest. “What the fuck! Don’t say my name in front of this fucker!”
  • A punch from Clodoveu takes off a bunch of teeth from Marcus. Marcus is sent flying across the room. Clodoveu scratches the missing body hair from his chest, now slowly growing back. “Anyways.” Clodoveu approaches Harry and gives him a manly, but comforting hug. Harry feels Clodoveu’s warmth, but Clodoveu’s armpit is now pulverizing Harry’s nose.
  • Clodoveu stands in front of Harry, and puts his hand on his shoulder. “Forget the past. Come with us, not that you have a choice, but we certainly could use your firepower.”
  • Harry feels a sense of being needed, something he hasn’t felt in a long while.
  • Marcus spits a semi broken-teeth as he stands up, bleeding from his nose, and mouth. “I don’t want another faggot on my team.”
  • Wilson raises his hand, a tear rolls his eyes “I’m with Clodoveu. Harry suffered enough.”
  • Marcus leaves the room. “Then you two can suck him off. I don’t fucking care. Kozaku will put a stop to this.”
  • Clodoveu. “Forget about Marcus—He’s always this sassy. Harry, what are you gonna do? Rest in the darkness, or come have an adventure with us?”
  • Harry smiles, nervously. “I guess I have no choice?”
  • Clodoveu smiles. “No, no, no. You have a choice. No pressure at all, but we could even kidnap Eori and have you torture her instead.”
  • Harry feels a weird feeling.
  • Clodoveu. “Or if you don;t want to go that far, then we can just make sure she never finds you again.”
  • Harry agrees.
  • Clodoveu. “Then let us begin!”
  • Wilson jumps up “I call dibs on his hairstyle!”
  • Clodoveu smacks his lips. “And I call dibs on his body gel.”

• Harry #10, jacked up eating chicken jerky doused in black honey. Clodoveu looks interested as he finishes cutting up Harry’s hair. Wilson trying to hold back laughter

  • 
  • Harry felt all his muscles bulge, and I mean all of them. He ate Chicken jerky doused in black honey. It tasted amazing.
  • Wilson burst out laughing. “So that’s the real reason you wanted him on the team.”
  • Clodoveu smiles. “Hey! I like both twinks and Woolies” // Explain Woolies.
  • Harry is unsure. “Can I ask why you gave me the XX Nari Gel?”
  • Clodoveu. “So that you can carry weight for us!” Clodoveu finishes cutting up his hair. “Now it’s perfect! Say, do you wanna go wrestle outside before we take a shower?”
  • Harry looks at Wilson, then at Clodoveu. He feels a chokeful atmosphere coming from the latter. “Nooo?”
  • Clodoveu. “That’s too bad. Wilson?”
  • Wilson shakes his head as he nervously laughs. “Fuuuuck no. I ain’t falling that again.”
  • Clodoveu. “What? It was purely an accident that I got hard.”
  • Wilson takes a step back. “I dunno about that. I’m just gonna go to sleep instead.”
  • Clodoveu “All right. Night!” he turns his attention back to Harry. “So what tickles your brain?”
  • Harry is unsure.
  • Clodoveu. “You know. What type of girl, or boy makes you want to fuck them up, or get fucked all night?”
  • Images of the girls he had experienced come pass through his head, but one stood out. “There was this girl called Sora that worked as a Sanbi Maid. She was pretty cute.”
  • Clodoveu. “What type?”
  • Harry does not quite understand the question,
  • Clodoveu. “You know? Wozefaries, Humans ,etc? Personality, etc! Give me descriptions”
  • // Harry describes Sora in a positive glowing light, then tells the story that happened where Itagiba laid a trap for him.
  • Marcus comes down. “It’s your turn you faggots. It’s fucking cold outside.”
  • Clodoveu “That’s cute. Let’s go stand watch.”

• Harry #10 looks at the moon as he is bundled in warm blankets. Clodoveu by his side inside the house. Clodoveu has the same Nari gel that Arukia used to see in the dark.

  • Harry “So what do you guys even do?”
  • Clodoveu “The usual. Stealing, sometimes kidnapping, mostly against filthy rich people. That’s the Blue Wozens motto.”
  • Harry “Blue Wozens?”
  • Clodoveu shows his proof that he is part of Blue Wozens. “Boss formed this bandit group a while ago when some Forway rich families looked down upon his family. They took advantage of him through contracts, that is until he realized he has a way out.”
  • Harry “A way out?”
  • Clodoveu. “Flee from the contract, and leech off the rich that once imprisoned him.”
  • Harry. “I guess payback’s a bitch?”
  • Clodoveu “A bitch and a half. That’s for—something in the distance. I can’t quite make it out—oh. It’s a Fatupiri. Nevermind. As long as it does not come too close.”
  • Harry “Fatupiri?”
  • Clodoveu. “It’s a big ass snake”
  • Harry. “So that's Fatupiri. Me, and the Bagarisas killed—and ate it.”
  • Clodoveu. “Life is all about eating or getting eaten. Eori ate you plenty of times, but did you ever eat her back?”
  • Harry imagines eating her pussy. Harry laughs “I guess so?”
  • Clodoveu smirks as well. “Lemme rephrase. Did you want to eat her? Do you love her?”
  • Harry feels agony thinking about it. He feels a heart stab, but not from loneliness, but from fear of what she could do to him if she ever found out. “Hmmm hmm.”
  • Clodoveu “There’s your answer. Somewhere in this world you will find the thing you want to eat the most. I already found mine, but he did not want to eat me back. Now I am looking for the second best thing.”
  • Harry understands, but he then goes silent as he thinks of the Bagarisas.
  • Clodoveu notices Harry getting melancholic. “Thinking about them is not gonna bring them back.”
  • Harry “But can’t I bring them back?”
  • Clodoveu shakes his head. “Reviving animals is a crapshoot, just like babies and old people. Worse, Marcus cooked the meat, and you can’t revive something that is cooked. He actually did it on purpose.”
  • Harry feels angry.
  • Clodoveu. “Please don’t lit up right now. If you want to bash Marcus’ face in, just ask him for a duel instead. I bet he will accept no problem.”
  • Harry contains himself. He takes a deep breath.

Chapter 3 - Sanbi’s Second Courtroom Scientist Apprentice

• Neferteri, Itagiba, Eori & Huneo.

  • “I never agreed to something like that. ” Eori, laid-back in the chair with arms crossed, drew everyone's attention, and her mother’s disapproval look.
  • Neferteri “This is no longer a matter of agreeing, but a matter of doing.”
  • “THEN I DON’T WANNA IT!” Eori stands up, and steps out.
  • “Harry.” Itagiba says the word right about the door as it is about to close. He follows up with a smile. “You want to see him, right?”
  • Eori remains stopped at the door. She hides her face.
  • Neferteri lays her hand on her husband's strong arms, then continues. “At this rate we will need to prune unnecessary expenses over the upcoming weeks, and Harry’s search quest is one of them.”
  • “Why?” An aggressive tone, yet sad came out of Eori.
  • “Simply due to the fact that we are implementing Huneo’s strategies to improve our kingdom.”
  • Eori slams the door close, and turns around pointing at Neferteri, and Itagiba. “Harry is your fault! FIX IT!—”
  • Neferteri widens her eyes. Eori seemed to be about to say something she feared she would say.
  • Huneo stands up in between. “THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT THE QUEEN!”
  • Neferteri closes her eyes. Itagiba stands up. “Huneo, it’s fine. We understand.”
  • Huneo “Absolutely not! This is not acceptable! Eori! As my second apprentice, I demand you to apologize RIGHT NOW!”
  • Eori trembles with anger, she lifts Huneo off the ground, and is moments away from doing a free teeth removal—
  • “You are no better than them, princess Eori.” Neferteri opens her eyes, and a cold voice reaches Eori, triggering a flood of memories of her hot blood not being any different than the sisters.
  • Itagiba, “Them? Ohhhh. That’s low.” but it goes unheard amongst the commotion.
  • Eori pushes Huneo away, and stomps out of the room.
  • Huneo organizes himself. “I shall report this violation—”
  • Itagiba let out a sigh. “C’mon Huneo! Give us a slack here!”
  • Huneo. “Absolutely not. I bid my King and queen a good day!”
  • The door closes. Itagiba looks at Neferteri. “He’s stealing my thunder, honey. I think you were right after all.”
  • Neferteri. “I see this as an opportunity to incorporate some of those values to our guild.”
  • Itagiba “And then be like your parents? That sucks.”
  • Neferteri. “Everything in moderation, my dear. There’s a reason I am here, not there.”
  • Itagiba smiles as he points at his beefy arms as he flexes them. “Is it because of these two bad boys?”
  • Neferteri cracks a jovial smile. “There’s more than that. Now, shall we proceed with the day?”
  • Itagiba “You betcha.”

• Eori in her room, breaking stuff up.

  • Eori throws her hand against something, breaks other stuff. She smashes stuff.
  • Tears came pouring out of her eyes. She curls up by the bed, and begins crying. “I just wanted Harry!”
  • Someone knocks at the door.
  • “Leave the fuck alone!”
  • Huneo comes into the room, with a sanbi guard beside him. Huneo looks around the room “You will have to pay for all this damage as well, Princess Eori.”
  • Eori felt a rage inside her, she stood up and began to pace herself towards Huneo, but stopped. The guards had their arrows pointed at Eori’s head.
  • “I received permission to do as I please to guarantee my safety.” Huneo smiles, almost taking pleasure in putting Eori in her place.
  • Eori points out of the door. “Then get the fuck out!”
  • Huneo. “Seems like you did not hear the verdict. I will repeat it then. You are my second apprentice now, so this means you shall do my bidding. I want you to report to the castle lab right now for developing new Nari gels.”
  • Eori. “I’M NOT YOUR BITCH! FUCK OFF!”
  • Huneo. “Guards, arrest her for contempt.”
  • Eori and the guards fight. Eori eventually loses.
  • As Eori is pinned down into the ground, she sees Neferteri peeking through the hallway. “Fucking bitch. You will pay for this.”

• Eori is working for Huneo. Guards by the door. Huneo has a captain guard by him to protect him.

  • Huneo looked through the stockpile that Gabiro/Kibe left behind. He hands a paper to her. “First off, I want an updated inventory of everything here by XX.”
  • Eori. “That’s impossible!”
  • Huneo. “This is an order. Make it happen.”
  • Eori feels the rage inside her, she looks at the guard putting his hand over his sword, and forces herself to not explode.
  • Huneo. “Good! Now where are your experimental journals?”
  • Eori. “It’s all in my head! I don’t write it down for the likes of you to steal it!”
  • Huneo. “Then you will write it all down after doing an inventory.”
  • Eori grabs a bottle and gets ready to throw, but as she is about to do it, an arrow pierces her forearm, shattering her bone
  • Eori’s forearm falls forward, limping with the exposed bone. She screams in pain, agony & rage.
  • Huneo grabs a Nari Refresher and lays on the table, close to Eori. “You’re the one doing that to yourself. Respect me, and I will respect you.”
  • Eori stays silent, with bloodshot eyes as blood flass from her arm with each heartbeat.
  • Huneo leaves. “You better heal yourself and clean up before you pass out and die. Guards, do not let her leave. I will tell Eiri to bring her dinner here.”

Chapter 4 - Soul Balls

• Harry #10, and bandits eating breakfast.

  • Marcus eating Bagarisa jerky seating across Harry. Harry was angry, holding his cup of coffee. Clodoveu sits near the two observing the interaction, while Wilson is unaware of the situation.
  • Harry feels an anger rising from deep within. He wants to bash Marcus’ smirk in like nobody’s business.
  • Marcus meanwhile is savoring the Bagarisa meat while provoking Harry.
  • Clodoveu. “Harry, do you want to duel with Marcus?”
  • Harry looked at Clodoveu, then looked at Marcus. He wants to kick Marcus’ face in, but the memories of being killed by Maiara comes back to mind. The memory of dying again brings a shiver to his spine.
  • Wilson cleans his nose, as his mind is far away.
  • Marcus smiles. “You fat pussy.” He takes a large bite of the jerky, chews and spit towards Harry, pieces of Bagarisa meat, and spit runs down his face. Harry wipes it off, as a flame lits up on his fingers.
  • Clodoveu offers him a cloth. “Your balls right now might be bigger than mine, but they are Nari gel driven, fake as only the balls of your soul truly count.”
  • Marcus laughed as he stood up, and began channeling soul energy to pour water on the fire. “Good luck with that.”
  • Harry cleans his face as the flame disappears.
  • Clodoveu puts his hand on Harry’s shoulder “I’m gonna help you grow your spiritual balls.”
  • Harry “Thanks?”

• Clodoveu flying towards Harry with his first (Like Maiara did), Harry defending himself with an X with his hand . Wilson keeps a makeshift scoreboard as he kinda dozes off.

  • Clodoveu firsts flew through the air. Harry felt anger, power, and a monster from Clodoveu.
  • Clodoveu first made contact right on the X Harry was holding, sending the arms against Harry’s face, and knocking him back.
  • Harry’s vision came in, and out, he felt like puking his breakfast, when he saw a hand extending towards him.
  • Clodoveu helps Harry get up, and hugs him from the side as Harry loses balance. “Points for not fleeing, but your defense was pretty stupid. You knocked yourself out with your own hands.”
  • Harry realizes that’s basically what happened when he fought Maiara. “So that’s when the metal plate hit me in the head!”
  • Clodoveu let’s Harry go “If you can’t match a defense, go for the offense!”
  • Harry. “How so?”
  • Clodoveu. “For starters, stop fearing the darkness.”
  • Harry. “You mean death?”
  • Clodoveu. “Either way. Darkness will come sooner or later, if you let it rule over you know, then might as well just kill yourself.”
  • Harry agrees in the logical sense, but the feeling of dying still feels too real.
  • Clodoveu. “Do you know how many times I met darkness?”
  • Harry shakes his head.
  • Clodoveu “I don’t even know either. Marcus might be sassy, but you can trust that he will bring you back if the boss gives his approval.”
  • Harry seems thinkful. “So that’s why you trust him. Can I ask who is the boss?”
  • Clodoveu smiles “I can tell you all about him, but you won’t believe it until you meet him in person.”
  • Harry “Okay—so, how should I defend myself?”
  • Wilson laughs “Even I know that was a stupid question! Oh wait—”
  • Clodoveu “I knew you would come to terms. Harry, you got the power of a Bagarisa. Nobody else has it! Use it! Abuse it!”
  • Harry let’s the flame take over his hands, arms and head.
  • Clodoveu steps back. “I’m gonna come in full swing this time, you better be prepared.”
  • Harry’s flames swallow, almost as if he is about to explode. Clodoveu crouches, his hand flies close to the ground, then he takes off towards Harry.
  • Harry cocks his arms back, then as he is about to unleash his power, a rock flew from Clodoveu’s hands, and struck Harry dead center in between his eyes, breaking his face.
  • Harry’s flame flared around him, then flamed out, all while Harry fell forward, with blood gushing out of his open wound.
  • Wilson laughed. “I saw that one coming!”
  • Clodoveu gives a thumbs up to Wilson “That will teach him something new.”
  • Harry’s body suddenly gasps, he slowly stands up as he heads pound, as it finishes healing up.
  • Clodoveu hugs Harry from the side. “Anything is a weapon if you time things right. Sorry for throwing too hard, so let’s call it good for today and go back to the den?”
  • Harry nods.

• Harry #10, and everyone else, carrying a bunch of load through the forest.

  • Clodoveu “The den is a ways from here. First we walk to our Wagon hidden Half-day from here, then take that to the next hiding spot before walking on foot for like a Quarter Time-Chunk.”
  • Harry “Are all the teams over there?”
  • Clodoveu. “We rarely see the other teams, as we only come back to the den to report, and grab the next quest.”
  • Harry. “So what was your current quest? To kill me?”
  • Clodoveu “To bring stuff to the old lady guarding the loothouse, but she must have died a few weeks ago after her Fost stone lamp became too small.”
  • Wilson “I smelled her clothes, then searched her, but all I could find was some blood, and pieces of torn clothes. Fatupiri must have gotten her.”
  • Clodoveu. “That’s why we now need to bring back all the goods to the den. Someone’s next quest—.”
  • Marcus. “You fat pusses are gonna talk all day? Fucking Cuntholes! Step up!”
  • Clodoveu ignores. “—will be to find a new den.”
  • Wilson. “Something not as boring would be nice.”
  • Clodoveu. “That’s a lot coming from someone shitting themselves just yesterday.”
  • Wilson: “Nah. I wasn;t shitting myself, I was just lighting my load to run faster” he laughs.
  • Clodoveu takes his statement seriously. “That’s an interesting strategy. Harry, you could use that to speed up your pace.”
  • Harry thinks about it, but shakes his head. “I will pass.”

Chapter 5 - Special Move

• Katsumi plowing the fields.

  • She slowly plows through the field. The sun, the smell of Magina annys her to no end. Sweat drips from her chin as she looks up at the distant forest.This time it will work.
  • Bandit “Hey you! Stop fucking around, and get to work!”
  • Katsumi does not reply, She picks up one flower after the other faster.
  • Bandit approaches her, he puts his hand on her shoulder, and breathes on her ear. “What is your plan for tonight? Gonna try to flee through the window again? If you try something new, then I will do the same, and fuck you from behind all night long.”
  • Katsumi smiles. She looks at the bandit. “So you wanna see my new special move?”
  • Bandit. “Ohh yeah? I will be waiting.” Guard smacks his lips as he stands up and leaves with light feet, as if he had just won the lottery.
  • Katsumi. “I promise you won’t forget it.”
  • Bandit rubs his front. “I’m gonna skip the booze to give you my special ability too.”
  • Katsumi smiles. Shit. I might have pushed it too far.

• Katsumi pinned down by the bandit

  • Guards, on top of her laughing. “So that’s what you can truly do? Pathetic! Try harder!” The guard slaps her across the face then points at her “You should have done a left kick, instead of flailing your arms around. Now it's time for my payment.” The guard lays his hand on her small hips, ready to turn around, when Katsumi puts her hand on his. The guard pauses.
  • Katsumi “I haven’t shown yet what I can truly do. Let me do the work.”
  • Guard. “Finally accepting your fate? All right. What are we doing then?”
  • Katsumi. “Just lay down. Lemme take you to a far away place.”
  • Guard lays down, he has his hand on his sword. Katsumi glances at it, but avoids making it apparent.
  • She gets on top of him, and starts to ride him slowly.
  • She moves her hips slowly. She moans in pleasure, as the guard focuses on her.
  • She moves close, seeking a deep kiss. They kiss deeply.
  • Katsumi moves towards his ear as she moans, but suddenly she bites her neck. Her lower teeth perforated deep on his neck. Blood gushes into her mouth, and down into the ground. The guard tries to kick her off, but she bits down harder, with all her strength. Her hands are pinning his hands down into the ground.
  • Within a few blinks of the eyes, a red sea of blood formed around the bandit, and soon his life flashed away.
  • Katsumi gets up and spits on his face. “See? I told ya it was something special.”

• Katsumi, with the bandits' clothes, in a small cave with a fost lamp

  • Katsumi glances through the pockets, 35 Pearls, and a single amethyst lays on his balls pouch. Katsumi “This won’t even get me by two weeks, let alone hire someone to get her! Dammit! Why did you have to give up everything! We’re so close!”
  • Katsumi has flashbacks from when they signed the contract. She was so eager to sign it, but she now remembers her sister was playing along with her. Katsumi cries. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m gonna come get you!”
  • A howl is heard in the not-so-far distance, bringing a chill to Katsumi. She brings her Fost lamp close by.

Chapter 6 - Walking Heart

• Harry #10, meeting Kozaku, Sitting down, silent, overseeing the bandits.

  • Kozaku. “Speak.”
  • Clodoveu. “Boss, XXX was eaten by wild animals.”
  • Kozaku stands up. A flame arises from his heart, and goes down his arm, following his Darfaries line. He walks down with firm steps. They echo in the large damp room.
  • Harry feels an intense pressure from being around here. He glances at Clodoveu, his usual demeanor remains the same bluntly troglodyte. He looks at Wilson, mostly hiding on Clodoveu’s back. He looks at Marcus, with his arms crossed, almost calling the boss to a fight.
  • Kozaku “Loot?”
  • Clodoveu. “Some of it rotted, but we brought back everything we could. Plus, we found a fourth member”.
  • “Tsk.” Marcus murmured.
  • Kozaku’s arm flew towards Marcus' gut, ripping through him as Marcus was lifted off the ground. He puked his own guts out as he was being taken off the ground.
  • His body fell towards Kozaku, but as he did, a knife appeared on Marcus’ hand and landed right on Kozaku’s top of the head, piercing his brain.

• Kozaku & Marcus fighting

  • Kozaku, with his face and eye twitching uncontrollably, threw Marcus’ body to the side, blood flew everywhere as the body kicked on the ground and splashed on the wall.
  • Harry watched, with his mouth open, as Marcus' body slowly fell back into the floor. He then noticed Kozaku’s face stop twitching as he removed the sword with a fell swoop, with brain matter flying upwards, and raining down everyone.
  • Kozaku stood there, silent, with his body frozen, and his eyes paralyzed, for a brief moment, before a twitch in his eyes & hands broke the silence.
  • Kozaku cracked his neck, and stood face to face with Harry.
  • Harry felt pure terror in his spine. He stood there, mouth opened, reactionless to such overwhelming power.
  • Kozaku “Show me.”
  • Harry looked at Clodoveu.
  • Clodoveu. “Go all out.”
  • Harry, trying as all his might to light up on fire, until his hand weaved in a weak fire.
  • Boss grabbed one of Harry’s hands, snapped the bone, then ripped out from the forearm.
  • Harry screamed in pain as the fire in his hands flamed in/out, bursting through his upper arm, and into his head, filling up his Mohawk.
  • Boss carefully examined Harry’s hand, he smelled it, threw it aside, then looked at Harry’s flames, and how they appeared, and disappeared. He then looked at Clodoveu. “Plan #237”
  • Boss turned back, and headed back to his chair. Clodoveu tapped Wilson on the shoulder “Can you grab Marcus this time?”
  • Wilson gave a cowardly small thumbs up.

• Clodoveu, Marcus (looking pissed as he eats by himself), Wilson & Harry having dinner.

  • Clodoveu bumps his shoulder into Harry “Quite the surprise, huh?”
  • Harry pauses eating his meat. “So who is boss?”
  • Clodoveu. “Well, on XXXX he was … Explain Boss background, and how and why he funded Blue Wozens ... ”
  • Marcus hammers down beer, impatient from the nonstop hearing of the boss. Clodoveu ignores him, and continues “”
  • Wilson cuts off as he stands up and runs out.
  • Clodoveu “I told you to go easy on the fat.” Clodoveu looks at Harry. “You know where the bathroom is?”
  • Harry nodded. “Down the hallway, last door before the exit.”
  • Clodoveu. “Not bad. Just remember that’s not the only exit, and to close stuff on your way out.”
  • Harry “So about Kozaku, why does he look like that?”
  • Clodoveu. “Walking Heart. You never heard of them?”
  • Harry shook his head, not a single mention of it ever came to his mind.
  • Clodoveu. “That’s why he had a flame on his heart. It Looks similar to your flame, but the interface is totally different.”
  • Harry “So he was a scientific experiment?”
  • Clodoveu. “Oh no. He seeked one of those stones in the Hifuna region, and replaced his heart with it. Now he’s not really Darfaries, but more like Walking Flathead.”
  • Harry “What?”
  • Clodoveu “You never heard of them? Were you born yesterday?”
  • Harry laughs. “I only remember stuff since summer, so kinda.”
  • Clodoveu. “All right then, I will tell you more if you give me a massage.” Clodoveu winks.
  • Harry shakes his head, his hands raised up, defending himself as his brain creates a small horror movie of Harry touching Clodoveu’s body.
  • Marcus whispers under his breath. “Buttfuckers”

• Darfaries girl bandit appeared from the shadows with Wozen fur covering his skin, and eyes. Wilson, propping himself against the hallway door, with his hands on his stomach.

  • “Great time, Wilson. Come in and have a seat.” Say the voice of the half-woman, half-wozen that shows up from the darkness.
  • Marcus. “So what’s the plan?”
  • “Slow down. For starters, how’s your belly feeling?” A smirk between the sharp teeth of the girl entrances Harry, he never had seen anything like that before.
  • Marcus props himself up the table, ready to pounce.
  • Clodoveu. “You already lost once today, keep to yourself.”
  • Marcus. “Fuck off. You cunt, get it over with.”
  • The half-lady, wozen moves her hand down her belly, and into her boxers, she suddenly flips out a knife that lands right above Harry’s head, cutting through some of the Mohawk.
  • Harry ducks, and protects his face. He then spies back at the lady putting her hands through her underwear and pulling out a rolled up letter. The lady-wozen “Keep your dick separated from your mind, or you’re gonna die here, kiddo.” She then throws the letter in front of Marcus.
  • Marcus, with his fingers, flicks the letter towards Clodoveu. He grabs it, takes a whiff, and shuggers with an uncaring face as he opens it up.
  • Wozen lady “You losers got lucky this time.” She approaches Harry, grabs his hand, Harry cowers in fear.
  • Harry feels a warm moist sensation on his hand. Her tongue is wide, and her mouth is big. Harry feels like he would disappear in her mouth.
  • She takes out his entire hand from her mouth, and spits aside. “He’s more Bagarisa than human. Boss gave your team a shot, so you better not fuck it up.”
  • Marcus “Just tell us what to do, and fuck off.”
  • She looks at Clodoveu, overseeing the map with Wilson nearby, having no idea what it all means.

• Map of the Hotspot with villages nearby. The goal is to attack Maicon’s warehouse.

  • 
  • Wozen lady. “Your team will invade Maicon’s warehouse in Forkpoint, then bring the looth through the boat to Old village. Your team will split up, with one side bringing the loot north to Fiera’s hut, and the other following the river to Minala. Then you change to a wagon, and pass through Rebula before burning the wagon.”
  • Marcus “What about the invasion? How the fuck are we supposed to do that?”
  • Wozen Lady “The surveyors noticed that there is always a handful of Magina, or Bagarisa Brothers protecting the place. Go quiet, and we won’t have any trouble.”
  • Clodoveu looks at Harry. “Makes sense. Harry, you will become a Bagarisa, and throw a fit to grab attention. Marcus & Wilson will attack them, and fake their bodies while carrying empty boxes to Rebula, while me & Harry go North.”
  • Wilson looks half-dead. “Whatever man, I just wanna die.”
  • Marcus. “Maicon. Does he show up there?”
  • Wozen lady. “A dead merchant does not make money. Kill him, and I will gut you alive.”
  • Marcus “Tsk. Kill one, two more show up. Who fucking cares?”
  • Wozen lady stands up, and slapped the table, almost breaking it. “I fucking care.”
  • Marcus stands up, and faces her, ready to throw down.
  • Clodoveu looks at Wozen lady “If you are trying to fuck him, then I’m sorry to tell you you’re not his type. He prefers a Tolerideme woman.”
  • Wozen lady blushes. “Aww whatever. You got your plan, now get out!” She leaves the team alone.
  • Marcus stares seriously at Clodoveu “Is that what she fucking wanted?”
  • Clodoveu “Oh! Trust me. Totally.” He rolls up the plan. “All right homies. You know the plan, so let’s go to sleep, and leave in the morning.”
  • Marcus “To some good motherfucking bloody money!”
  • They all raise their glasses, Harry follows them, but in his mind he feels unsure.
  • Harry looks at Clodoveu. “Is she like me?”
  • Clodoveu “XXX? Nah. She’s always wearing that Nari gel, and she can’t use Wozen’s interface, but she really wants to.”
  • Harry “really?” Harry lit his hand on fire at will. “I wish I could use the Darfaries interface.”

Epilogue

• Harry, outside with a Fost Stone lamp by his side as the sun rises, Wozen Lady hidden on the tree above.

  • 
  • Harry sees the sun rising above the trees in the forest, but his mind floats around all the people he betrayed. He broke Eiri’s promise, he let the Bagarisas die, now he’s about to steal from someone. Harry feels a squeeze in his heart. Is this what I really want? But what can I even do? I don’t know anyone!
  • Something falls right behind Harry, squeezes him tightly, and lifts him off the ground. The thing takes a deep breath of him, like a fat guy would of a fried chicken he just bought.
  • Harry laughs from the tickles the breath from this thing does to his neck.
  • “You’re just like Desmond!” a familiar voice comes to his ear as it squeezes him. It’s brisky fur rubbing on Harry makes him laugh even harder.
  • Harry’s feet touch the ground again, and he is freedHarry gains steps from this thing, then turns back.
  • Wozen lady smiling at him. “Fost stone only keeps dumb animals at bay—aren’t you cold?”
  • Harry looks at his half-naked self, “hmm. I guess not?”
  • Wozen lady comes closer. “Clodoveu told me all about you. How did the Sanbi scientist make it happen?”
  • Harry. “Who? Gabiro? Yeah. I never met the guy—Eiri was the old one who told me about him.”
  • Wozen lady. “Did they give any details of what they did?”
  • Harry shakes his head. “I also had no memories of anything, so they probably did not bother explaining.”
  • Wozen lady approaches Harry’s ear, and whispers slowly. “If you find out how, I will let you do anything you want”
  • Harry blushes.
  • Wozen lady blushes as well “Not like that! I meant like—like going to other teams! Even working by my side!”
  • Harry laughs. She laughs as well, then puts her hands up, and belly forward. Harry knows that is, so he does that as well. As they touch bellies, and handsome, she says. “I promise it.”
  • Harry smiles, and nods.

--Book 8 - Small Problem--

Prologue

• Harry, Marcus, Clodoveu & Wilson on a wagon by themselves. Wilson picked his nose. Marcus observing around, while Clodoveu & Harry looked forward

  • Clodoveu “So yeah. We’ve been on our own for at least 5 to 7 years before we got poached by Blue Wozens.”
  • Harry “So how did you guys meet?”
  • Clodoveu explains their backstory. Wilson laughs. Marcus stands up and faces away from the carriage, and starts peeing off the road.
  • Clodoveu keeps telling their backstory.
  • Harry. “Freeish kingdom is to the south, right?”
  • Clodoveu “You got it! Actually, you've never been there either? Well, let’s go take a trip there once we get some balls from this plan. There’s this Taco thing that you gonna love!”
  • Harry looks pretty interested.
  • Marcus “We’re close to Forkpoint”
  • Clodoveu stops the wagon on the side of the road. “Let’s wear fake bodies. Harry, you ready?”
  • Harry, “I guess so.”
  • Clodoveu hands him a Nari gel bottle. It has Bagarisa fur, eyes, etc. Harry gulps.
  • Marcus “I’m gonna force it down your throat if you don’t.”
  • Clodoveu. “Give him some time. Some people aren’t good at swallowing.”
  • Marcus narrows his eyes, but does not say anything.
  • Harry takes a deep breath, and eats the jelly in gulps. His body begins to open a fissure as blood, and a white soul flame pours out. Harry screams in pain as his voice lowers, sounding more hoarse, bagarisa-like. Tusks grow out from his face, as one of his arms swallows.
  • Marcus, grabbing his knifes “What the fuck?”
  • Harry gives out a massive shriek, making the forest tremble in fear.
  • Marcus throws a knife right on its forehead. It looks at Marcus with hangryness in its eyes.

Chapter 1 - Side Effects

• Harry #11A, like a wild animal, staring at Marcus. Marcus ready to throw down. Clodoveu protects Wilson, who is scared shitless.

  • Marcus “I’m gonna fucking skin you alive, and eat you you fat piece of shit!”
  • Harry trucks towards Marcus, he tilts his head forward to strike, and squish Marcus like one would with strawberry in its hand.
  • Marcus waits for the last second, then dances out of the way before slashing Harry’s arm open as it passes by.
  • Clodoveu grabs his weapon, and steps forward. Marcus notices him. “Don’t you fucking dare! He's mine!”
  • Clodoveu. “He will eat you. I’m warning you.” Clodoveu is applying Nari gel on himself. Wilson opened a Nari Gel and gulped the entire contents in one shot. Clodoveu “You’re gonna poison yourself with that much Quick Think”
  • Wilson “I can do it!”
  • “Go suck a big fat ” Marcus, meanwhile, takes a Nari gel from his pocket, opens the lid, and dips another knife. He throws it at Harry’s as it prepares to charge again.
  • Marcus steps back, gaining distance. He prepares another knife when he notices a fireball appear in between the tusks of Harry, and quickly speeds towards him.
  • Marcus launched a knife towards, it met midway, and exploded in a curtain of fire.
  • Marcus flipped Harry off. “Fuck—”
  • Something large flew through the curtain of flame.

• Marcus with severed large Harry #11 hand strikes on his face, throat, and chest as he flipped off Harry. Meanwhile, Harry’s 11 hand is healing up. Clodoveu’s arms are twice as big, and Wilson has quick thinking.

  • “I told ya.” Clodoveu grabs his weapon.
  • Wilson hears, and sees everything in slow motion. “Cccccccoooooollllddd Wwwwwaaattteeeerrrrr.”
  • Clodoveu looks at Wilson, his head motion is casting a spell three times as fast as normal. His muscle movements are so quick that is near the breaking limit, his tendons are healing up with each movement. “Then shock.”
  • Clodoveu rushes towards Harry. Harry notices, and puts up a defense in an x formation. Clodoveu looks at his arms, forming an x, then at his lower body. Clodoveu stops midway, and let’s his two handed mace fly towards Harry’s gut.
  • Harry’s large arm moves down, and catches the brunt of the impact. Flesh, bones, and soul fire flies everywhere.
  • Harry let’s out a massive shriek and rushes towards Clodoveu with a fist in his smaller hand. Clodoveu stops it with his hand, noises of bone cracking echoes around. Clodoveu then punches Harry’s gut with his other, then steps back as he evades the large hand now nearly regenerated.
  • Clodoveu shakes his hand. “Not even a dent.”
  • Wilson splashes a torrent of Cold water on Harry. It’s flames go back in/out, then the shite soul flame covering his body grows stronger.
  • Harry’s flame swallows up. It weaves before exploding in a curtain of fire.

• Everything is on fire. Clodoveu has his whole front body burned, his face has the shape of his arm that he used to protect. Wilson is running in the distance. Harry 11B

  • Clodoveu “Uffda. That was pretty good. Ohh? That took out some of your energy, huh? Wilson! Cold Water! Wilson!” Clodoveu looked back, and saw Wilson fleeing for his life in the distance.
  • “Haaaa You dickass. I’m gonna remember that!” Clodoveu prepares his hand, and cracks his neck. “Well, I’m dead either way.”
  • Clodoveu walks towards Harry, who seems cautious of what Clodoveu is doing. It prepared a fireball, and launched towards Clodoveu, he moved his belly aside and his arm up, the ball flew by his arm and belly, burning the skin, and falling to the ground in the distance, exploding, and searing Clodoveu’s back & Hair. They stopped healing. Clodoveu touched his hair. “I’m all out of healing now. Dammit. Well, you asked for it!” Clodoveu flew at Harry, and started throwing one punch after the one, Harry defended a few, but he could not keep up with him.
  • Harry was taking blows left, and right. Bones broke, flesh was torn, blood spilled out, but it was near instantly healed.
  • Clodoveu’s timing began to slow, he was out of breath, he took a step back to take a breath. “Wooo!” He said, looking up to Harry’s hand coming down with full force.
  • Clodoveu’s body froze, then began to fall apart like a cut up ham. Harry screamed loudly, then began devouring the body like someone well versed in gorgin food in an all-you-can-eat buffet.

• Wilson ran through the forest, his mind racing, and eyes blood-shot, everything blurred.

  • Wilson’s body was nearly weightless as Wilson pushed his body to the maximum. Wilson’s mind was working fast, his racing thoughts analyzed nearly every single thing in his vision, and adjusted his pacing. He felt his bones cracking, his joints busting, and healing, only to be burst again.
  • Everything was just fine, that is until his body began feeling light, his thoughts going even faster that he himself could not understand them. His vision blurred, and he toppled himself on something, falling into the forest ground.
  • He was able to hobble his belly up, but his arms, and legs began to move uncontrollably, he tasted sweet, sour, then bitter. He heard Clodoveu, he heard Harry’s screams, he saw everything, he heard everything.
  • His body was convulsing. His mouth clamped shut on his own tongue, with bloody foam forming around his mouth, and suffocating him.
  • Gurgles of the body stopped as Wilson’s lungs filled up. He calmed down, and began to sleep soundly, somewhere within the forest.

  • “Why am I still here?” Eori flat out asked.
  • Neferteri stopped. She did not turn back around. “You killed Huneo. Do you realize your actions?”
  • “I KILLED HARRY COUNTLESS OF TIMES! WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE” Eori sharply replied.
  • Neferteri. “One of them was considered an experimental subject.” She began walking away. “That was until I saw you unnecessarily mutilating his corpse.”

  • Severino “They are innocent people! I told Forway about this farm, and how they were kidnapping, but you guys never did anything!”
  • Takeo “Well, that’s cause you never set the right price!”
  • Severino “Like we have the money!”
  • Takeo “I know. I’m not arguing with you. But you gotta understand our side too. It costs a lot!”
  • Severino “Then what are you gonna do?”
  • Takeo offers his hand up, with a carefree expression “You guys offered me a place to stay the night—I can’t be that much of a backward ass. He holds his badge up high. “Let’s play puzzle! You guys have Black Honey, right?”
  • Severino. “Not much, but the other villages can pitch in.”
  • Takeo “Well—we can look around. This clandestine Magina plantation must be hiding a few treasures too.They are bandits after all.”
