@Ersa93 Small question, are there any distinctive 'races' of people within Relgas?

2:47 PM...?

The rabbit gave no reaction to the marionette's aggressive action, simply staring at its originator as they set their clauses into the deal... with a small nod the cracks and fragments that encompassed Kousuke's vision seemed to fade in luminosity, instead beating like a heartbeat...

The world around him... had a heartbeat.

The whispers ebbed and flowed with the rhythm, an endless circle of crescendo and decrescendo. An order of operations.

Though it felt like he was looking through a window, a sheet of glass that somehow separated his consciousness from the darked living world that lay there before him.

The rabbit dissipated into mist, billowing down before condensing again on the ground, walking down one of the many halls, looking back to the dealmaker.

"Well? Let's get moving. It's almost time to..."

The deer closed its eyes as the hand came to rest on its face, the question was something it had known the answer to long before the debt collector came to the realization himself.

"That is something for you to decide. The power I bestow upon you is nothing but a means to one of many possible ends, it is up to your actions and decisions to determine if what I choose to give to you becomes a weapon or a tool."

The deer then began to move, past the predator, and toward the stairs. A strange feeling descended upon Fubuki, conflicting. The feeling of being trapped yet also free, of being suffocated yet breathing in the cold and brisk air... A feeling of as if one were looking at the world through a hall of mirrors, each image distorted in its reflection.

The deer turned before descending, eyes piercing through to it's originator's soul.

"Come. Things are still in motion. In order to learn what I have given you, then you must..."

Their body didnt move, it refused to, watching as the shadowy wolf fought the creature, the whispers getting louder in their ears as she raised her hands, covering her ears...

The noise, it was too loud... like being stuck in an echo chamber, letting the sound reverberate and grow enough to make someone's head explode...

"Listen to me!"

The voice cut clearer than the sharpest knife- no.. It peirced the static haze like a bullet straight through her skull.

With a sharp inhale, she looked up, the wolf staring back at them, the creature recovering just behind the creature.

"There's a reason this place is a labyrinth. The fear of being trapped, of being pitted into a corner by your decisions. A winding path that never sees an end, this is the fear, the anxiety of a student, of an apprentice. I need you, as much as you need me, and time is ticking here pup. It's about time, you and the others need to.."

Three voices speak in unison, hearts speaking with one voice together.

Shatter the Veil.

As their vision started... to crack.

The masked man smiled at the albino, finding the little bird's confusion and panic amusing.

"Oh, don't worry. Your former family would be much more... hidden if they had access to this. Anyway, that's not what I'm here for, I need you. Or rather, something else needs you, depending on what you do with this."

With a flick of his wrist, a tattered yellowed page materialized from the blackness, as if he had pulled it from the darkness itself. He placed it down, sliding it over to the boy, a small gray feather falling to rest on the title of the paper...

The contract.

"Go ahead, read it over however many times you need. It's a very simple contract, I just need you to sign it."

2:45 PM...?
♫

_{ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY}

The ethereal emitted a chuckle, its wispy form seeming to crackle, no longer clearly defined, like a chromatic aberration effect. That is before it smiled.

"Ah, but of course... Your hand can't sign anything that doesn't benefit the family, can it? Well, it's bullshit. You know deep inside that you want to break loose, to tear away the chains that shackle you down..." The smile only grew on the rabbit's face, the red of its eyes seemed to glow, to rage with that same fire that burned in Kosuke's heart.

"I know, because I am that fire that burns within you at this very moment. All you need to do is break away, and let yourself run free. So I have a question for you..."

"Do you have the courage to make a deal with your inner demons?"

The rabbit raised it's paw, this time for some kind of handshake. The clinking of glass could be heard at the edge of one's senses, an ephemeral chime as the air distorted and bent around them...

The heat was rising.

_{IGNORANCE FAVORS THE BLIND}

The deer stayed on the ground, and slowly lifted its head, as the area seemed to get colder.

"Little stag... There is more than one way to break a pane of glass." The growled voice utters, as blood drips down now not as drops, but crystals. Fubuki's breath appeared as whispy clouds before him in the cold air, the space around them felt fragile, whereas a single gesture could break the very air that encompassed it. Frost began forming on the tile flooring...

The terrain was changing as a chime of glass rang through the halls like two wine glasses struck together in a toast.

The deer's head tilted, before standing.

"Rage is so erratic in its form... both a weakness and a weapon. What will you allow it to be?"

_{ALPHA AND OMEGA}

Chihiro followed the inky wolf down what seemed to be miles of stretching hallways, eyes flicking to the dark walls as the shadows seemed to dance in the corner of their vision...

The wolf stopped at an intersection, leading off into three different hallways, turning to her.

"Wait here. Something's coming."

A shrill chime rang from the air around them, as glass hands reached out from the walls. Long translucent limbs with jagged shards of glass and crystal reaching out. A head then emerged, there was no face, only a fractured mirror in place of it, reflecting images of things past.

Before she could react it came towards her, intercepted by the wolf, a snarl echoing through her mind. She was frozen with fear, her feet refused to move as she watched the scene unfold before her... the creature's claws shone sharp as blades as it screeched, like fingernails scraping against a chalkboard.

Click, clack.

He didn't understand why he had to do this one personally, but it seemed more urgent than the other requests. They hadn't even begun trusting themselves yet, and now here he was dragging a new one into the mix.

As the door to the cafe opened, time slowed and dilated around the man in the mask. The patrons around him came to a stop, frozen, as he walked straight to the albino kid behind the counter.

With a fluid motion, he grabbed the back of the boy's shirt collar, as the world around them fractured and broke, the space around them shattering into a black void. The boy was released from the dilations hold as he fell into a chair, a table rising from the blackness underneath, the man walking around to his own chair on the other side of the table, leaning his elbows onto the wood of the table.

"You're probably scared, being pulled away like this. Just to confirm, your name is Tohato, right?"

Sample

The windows weren't exactly the clearest things in the world, waves of dust flying past the tainted glass, like ocean waves crashing against the chassis. The desert didn't feel like it was moving, other than the rumbling of the engine below. She knew they were approaching soon... couldn't necessarily say she was very happy about it, or her current situation in the slightest.

Kate sat near one of the many windows, there weren't many people for such a large bus... especially to where they were headed. Her eyes stayed to the bright and hot world outside, the bus didn't have any air conditioning at all. Feels like a fucking oven in here. Though, she figured she might as well get used to this... it was the middle of nowhere in the desert.

She fiddled with her fingers in her lap, her green eyes transfixed to the amber sand as it flew by, spirals looping and interweaving in her headspace...

She was no stranger to stress. In fact, it was like the next-door neighbor, the family friend that always knocks on your door every afternoon asking for a cup of sugar. At least if people even do that anymore. Now it's just creepy.

All she could think about was what would happen to her in this place. Some portion of her cognitive dissonance wanted to say that she belonged here, another said that she didn't. A larger part was guilty for what she did... what it did... The aching in her chest, the stitches she never remembered getting, the neckband- a collar more like -that was snug against her throat...

The bus began to slow, as a shadow was cast among the sand, something blocking out the sunlight, and considerably reducing the amount of pent up heat inside the airfryer that was that transport bus. Her thoughts were drawn away, gaze shifting up.

A wall.

What exactly was she expecting?
