After about four hours of beating Arthur at the video game, to his apparent shame and Belle’s amusement, I begin to hear someone walking down the hall outside my suite, following which we all hear the doorbell to my suite ring. So I put my controller down, still with a wide grin on my face, before I move the tanuki and walk over to the entrance to look at the camera that shows Allen standing outside while tapping his foot in an anxious manner. I open the door, and his eyes immediately lock on me as he…-

After we reach the bunker where Arthur and Belle are and pick them up, we head straight towards the entrance we originally arrived at before waiting a few minutes. The Fracture then comes to an abrupt end, someone having shattered the core, and along with it, the shield around the building immediately begins fading away in front of us. “Not bad timing,” I mutter as we all begin to walk through the entrance of the outer station and in the direction of Denise’s limo, which is still in front of the…

I just listen to him as I walk, not interrupting beyond simply asking Michael if we can stop over at the bunker where Belle and Arthur are and getting an agreement from him. That would certainly explain a lot. And let me guess, you gave us that special aid in the form of the original five Knights as a balance to let humanity settle into the Demonic Assaults so that we would be able to feed the fae with life force as well? From what history stated, the original five Knights – not the ones we have now…

Oh? That’s kind of surprising. They are demons, so I just kind of assumed… oh, right. I should stop doing that. They would probably treat me like a servant of some sort themselves? I grimace at the hint towards me becoming less and less human. I can’t help but tense up at the thought of getting a tail. Because my ears are already bad enough. What would a tail be like? Not to mention the hell of having to adjust my clothes to a tail… The memory of Julian’s tail ruining his pants flashes…

After dropping off the civilians at the bunker, we continue on through the train station, just clearing out the zombies where we can until we reach the point where they are too high a level for us, where we then change to stalling tactics. Just fighting off the zombies while working together and holding them in place so that any other civilians we missed won’t be in harm’s way. Although if it weren’t for Michael’s being here, we’d all be zombies by now. And he also makes it convenient since he…

I can’t help but feel awkward as I hear the conversation going on in the bunker between Belle, Arthur, Julian, and the kid who knows Julian. Because whoever wants to hear about some kid having a crush on you? Extremely awkward. Although at this point, the number of people online who’ve been raining compliments on me is kind of numbing me to it – a rather normal thing for celebrities of any kind, I suppose. So I manage to block it out with the equally displeasing sound of groaning…

Robert can’t help but complain in his head as he kneels in the corner of one of the bunkers, the entrance sealed shut as the hundreds of people quietly – or as quietly as is possible in a room with this many people – chat amongst themselves, many of whom are worried about their loved ones or pets – in the case of the person talking with the security guard. The seventeen year old boy leans his head against the wall with a sigh. His thoughts are interrupted by the beeping sound of the screen…

I clear my throat before turning to the kid and asking, “Anyways, why are you here?” He points at himself, and I can’t help but add, “Yes, you.” So he answers, “I was here because of my dad.” That has me raising a brow. This makes two Demonic Assaults in a row that he was caught in a Fracture during. “You have bad luck,” I state with a firm nod of my head, convinced of my words before turning around to face Belle again while saying, “Belle, your parents are both currently dealing…

I blink twice in confusion at everything going on right now. Not only the changes to Belle’s appearance, but also the fae that showed up, and the kid that I’d saved not even a week ago being here. What does he mean by ‘little brother’? Also, I feel that strange sensation in his voice that’s in yours as well… Wait, is he a royal fae too?! As a form of answer, Tar appears in the air between me and the others, next to the floating eagle. Or rather, the floating mini-eagle, since it’s much,…

Belle has never considered herself the type to lose her composure. Not when Scarlet pulled those revenge ‘pranks’ on the bullies and left Arthur with the blame, not when she had to watch her mother again and again blame herself for her sister’s death, and certainly not in front of Arthur. Ever. But now? “Can you please focus on the fight!” Belle shouts at the man, or rather, boy in front of her. The guy must be at least four or five years her junior, a high school student at the oldest despite…
