Current Graduation has happened - I am no longer a teacher. Won't have to work 12 hour days + weekends anymore, so maybe I'll actually have enough time for hobbies.

Teacher update: I feel like a villain from a cartoon. The laughter of teenagers gives me migraines, and I no longer feel guilt when giving bad grades to kids that sleep through my lessons.

I think I know what Skubli's favorite song is...
Kishi turned to look at Lomen as he gave his response, making sure to keep an eye on the boar, who was facing away from them and devouring the berries greedily.

"Should be fun. It is important we each play around with different positions and find our own fighting style. Be sure to position yourself in front of a tree or large stone. Although the tusks may be scary, they can also be broken or stuck into a tree. If you desire being the bait you can take my shield. If not I will tie it around you or myself as armor. I would prefer to be the bait but I will not stop you if you believe you would be the better bait."

"If you are sure you can dodge him, I see no problem. I Just... Make sure you don't get hurt."

"I'm not sure what I would do if you... ya know. Be careful."


Kishi quickly spotted a tree that covered the clearing. With dexterity that was much more advanced than the days prior, Kishi silently climbed to the top of the tree, before resting on a branch directly over the gluttonous boar. Kishi carefully retied the knot of his spear, making sure that it was very tight, and tensed every muscle in his body.

The bark of the tree felt unnaturally rough, and the leaves covered the branch like a blanket. If Lomen was successful in distracting the boar, he would have a very easy job of finishing off the creature.

Thoughts of Isurta's death and the goblin corpses filled his mind. He could see himself falling off the branch, breaking his legs on the hard and unforgiving ground, and being devoured by the giant monstrosity. The fear returned.

The boar in his dream left him as nothing more than a skeleton, bones picked cleanly. And then, it charged for Brother Lomen, impaling him cleanly through it's tusks.

A strange calmness laid over him. He was going to do everything in his power to not miss. He wasn't going to die here.

Not while he still had people who needed him.

Kishi waited for Lomen to begin, and prepared to deliver a Precise Strike.


Will write up a post sometime soon.
Kishi slowly came to, when he realized that Zectoll was no longer around. Presumably, he went into the cavern in search of something. Kishi turned towards the two graves before vomiting in his mouth. The bile was horrid, and it took several seconds for the foreign liquid to return to his stomach. A strong acidic burn spread throughout his mouth, and nearly distracted him from Lomen's words.

"I am going back out to hunt. If either of you want to join me you are welcome too. If not I will be heading out while their is still light in the day."

Kishi stopped his movements. Once again, the rage returned, however it came back as a fiery vengeance rather than an icy anger. The though of death made him realize how much the creatures of this land had taken from him, and the thought of killing them filled Kishi with a disgusting sense of joy. Once again, he donned his fake smile, and he responded to Lomen.

"Of course. There is still time in the day, after all. You can lead us this time, I... don't really feel in the mood."

Kishi began to follow Lomen as he made his march into the dark forest once more.




The path they had taken had been completely different from any that Kishi had taken before. Then again, considering he has only been hunting twice, this was not saying much. He was about to ask if the two of them should turn back, before a thumping on the ground silenced him. Standing 1-2 dozen feet away was a furry creature that was the same height as Kishi, and far more muscular. The flesh of the creature was incredibly taught, and stretched tightly across it's body. A single kick was likely to break his bones, and Kishi refused to think of what the creature could do if it struck him with it's tusks. However, the beast was also far larger than any other that Kishi has encountered thus far, and was more than capable of feeding multiple goblins. Whoever slayed this beast would be the envy of the entire cave. Kishi, however, was too focused on the tusks that were nearly the size of his arm. Soon, the voice in his head chimed in, giving Kishi a name for the creature.

Stamp Boar

Kishi silently maneuvered himself behind a bush, before thinking of a plan to fell this creature. Surely he could keep the beasts attention, but the biggest threat were the tusks. They could easily disembowel any goblin, and both of them were no exceptions. The airstrike was effective in it's last employment, but it was quite dangerous. Deciding to take the aggro, Kishi listed out his plan to the goblin beside him.

"Here is my plan: I'll go in for a direct assault and, while it's distracted, you jump down from one of the trees. Since you don't have much reach with your horn, jumping down is much better than being the bait."

The usually light tone of voice was not present in Kishi's remark. Instead, a cold, slightly anxious voice stood in it's place.


The restaurant was a quiet, rather small Italian place, and was quite hard to miss in the crowd of people. Despite the vast number of visitors, the restaurant was nearly entirely deserted, save for a few people here and there. The transaction with the woman behind the counter was disappointing, as she could barely speak a word of English. This led to Kurt's usually weak attempt at flirting to fail even more than usual. A sigh and several minutes later, a large plate stacked with so much pasta, bread, and garlic that it could give someone a heart attack just by looking at it arrived at his table. A tense minute passed by, before Kurt grabbed his fork and ran it through the heaping pile of pasta.

Or, he was about to, until the message "Nothing's ever mundane in Mundin!" echoed throughout the plaza.

Kurt was well aware of the infamous motto. Every single day, he heard the same repeated, cliched message, usually more than once. It followed nearly every address to the public, and it was always there whenever there was an event. Kurt's instinctual rolling of his eyes at this message was overridden by the realization that the celebration was about to begin. Quickly putting his food into a container, he threw money to the waitress and made his way to the square.

Kurt shoved his way through the throng of people, after realizing that it was much more effective than waiting for people to move out of the way. He drew very close tho the stage, to the point he was close enough to smell the same cologne that made the prime minister infamous. Hoping to see one of his squad mates or, hopefully, Ken Black, Kurt donned his famous shit-eating grin and waited for the speech. Beside him stood a man in glasses with a short hair cut and facial hair, wearing very nice glasses. Kurt made sure to keep his eyes peeled for anyone he knew.

A light chill passed down his spine, despite the relative mildness of the weather. Kurt gently fingered the combat knife he kept sheathed at his side at all times, before moving his hand away. There was no telling what would happen if people realized he brought a weapon here. Then again, considering the fact that some people could literally shoot knives out of their hands, maybe it wasn't so bad to have a weapon.
Will post sometime today.
