2nd Log: The Wish Shop


The wind gathered making one circle, the sky inside the circle then distorted into a drop of oily water. Fluid spread everywhere along with some debris once the bubble pop up, a blond boy dress in green around 10 years old felt to the ground. Surprisingly, this little visitor manage to stand up on his own, once he saw those unfamiliar buildings and two pale figures in front of him: A young man dress in black clothes and a lady wearing a black dress. 

A cold glare from those red eyes told him, he wasn’t a welcome guest.
His mind had many questions about what happened before but those will have to wait.
He had somehow survived the moonfall, only to arrive at a monster den, ready to tear him apart at any moment. When he took up his arms to defend himself, the pale lad with heterochromic eyes put himself in front of him, arms stretched in order to protect him from his mysterious mistress.

Yuuko Ichihara: “Stand aside Watanuki, he can see the shop hence he has a wish.”

Kimihiro Watanuki: “But Yuuko he is just a child...”

Boy dress in green: “I’m looking for my dear friend, tell me where...”

Yuuko Ichihara: “In order to grant your wish, you must pay a proportionate compensation.
Your compensation will be all the items you currently have, your lineage and your name.”

The child lowered his armaments, answering in agreement to the shop owner terms.
A red grown striped him from his possessions, turning his pointy ears into round ones. 
In front of him there was a scroll with a calligraphy brush, following the witch instructions he wrote his name using blood as ink. From that moment he became nameless.

After taking all his possessions to the shop warehouse, the pale man returned carrying some worn out clothes with a sleeping bag, a vintage mining lamp and a unique seed inside a round glass box. Once he dress up in a modern attire, the lady in black told him open the box. Moving by its own accord the seed pierced his chest, taking root in his heart. Before he could react the wound had healed, without leaving a mark either in his flesh nor in his clothes, however the crystal box was in shambles on the garden floor.

Yuuko Ichihara: “Watanuki clean up this mess after we are done. 
As for you, turn on that lamp and follow its guidance until you reach your final destination.
The seed you now have should protect you on your journey, if you learn how to nurture it. 
Off you go to unknown lands in distant worlds.”

  1 st Log: Vigilo Confido A pillar of light raised up from the ocean floor, enveloping the moon surface. Four craters were aligned in a soft arc, between them a mountain raised itself and bellow a grand canyon was formed on the fly. The moon now had a wicked face, its pale light started to shine on the world. Those unfortunate witness became twisted beyond recognition, morphing into mindless monsters of flesh and gore, ravaging themselves against their former comrades. The flying fortress was no exception, its crew turned against 6 youth who had the Outsider blessing. The leader dress in a detective garb gave an order to his 5 partners, their eyes showed no hesitation when they hear the merciless directive, only answering in a military salute. Against all odds, they manage to take back control of the vessel. This long night was over but soon after, the light of the sun was obscured by the MIST from the sea. The ground became infected by coral reef mixed up with some weird fungus,...

  3rd Log: Phoenix Rising A shinny glow came from a white tree at the center of the fortified walls. Upon one man request all soldiers raised up their weapons, towards the six  young ladies that came out of nowhere. A yellow skinned teenager moved into the fray,  shouting at one of the soldiers with a phoenix wings logo on their uniforms. Olena Kim: “Pete you oaf!, how many times I had to tell you they are immune to the virus.” Pete: “They themselves said they had better antibodies, not immune.  If they ever get infected...” Freesia: “We’ll die and turn to dust, end of the story. My team needs some rest.  Olena... could you show us the way to Sophia?. We’ve a report to make.” A small escort of soldiers guided the young maidens with similar light  green hair inside a well fortified building once used for oil storage,  repurposed as a command center. Some screams and some steel noises  could be heard from a far, as they walked a long corridor. ...

  1 st Log: The Night of Failure The moon was on full display tonight, but few bellow could see its hidden face. A boy dress in green along with his two flying lights was running across the town. The carnival proceed per usual with food stands, street performers and joyful cries. Folks wearing all kind of masks, some were simple others of higher quality. Ever since the boy first arrived in this weird place, he couldn’t shake off the feeling in his heart of seeing familiar faces behaving different, compared to the people he once meet before. His journey in this strange land served as a reminder, even a child can be brave as a hero. All preparations were in place, tonight was meant to break the current time loop. His eyes caught a glimpse of an unusual red mask in a dark alley. The boy froze in place for a second, adopting a defensive stance against an empty corner. Looking around the surrounding inhabitants, he couldn’t feel any ill intent. Time was running out, the green child dis...
