———————————————————————————————————— [i][u] June 18, 1888 |4:11 AM| [/i][/u] Departure ———————————————————————————————————— [b][i]“We stayed with Arturo for a week, and then we decided that we should leave, that was yesterday evening. Luckily for us he decided to tag along, as Silas put it. Arturo said he’s visiting a friend of his Paris, he said we should do the same. Silas was a bit concerned about having to travel such a long distance, again. Then he remembered that his car didn’t have any physical limitations on fuel or anything. We’ll be setting off towards Paris at 5:08 in the morning, we should be there by 2 in the afternoon. I’ll see you then, old friend. ” ~ sincerely, Ł[/b][/i] ———————————————————————————————————— Arturo had been on this planet for 1,000 years now. He liked living here, it was peaceful, but something told him that storms were coming. He knew that they’d be here soon. His best bet was to go to Paris and seek out an old friend from ages long past. He would know what to do, these storms had happened before. Yet now they’re happening again, history’s repeating itself. He remembered the stories his grandfather told him before he passed, about the old wars, and how they manifested themselves to mortals in the form of clouds. Sometimes the light won, and other times the dark. Though nothing really happened when either side won. That’s due to the balance that was achieved following those wars. [b][i]”Balance” He thought[/b][/i] That’s what’s necessary, that’s what keeps everything in line. ———————————————————————————————————— [i][u] June 18, 1888 |2:07 PM| [/i][/u] Paris, France ———————————————————————————————————— The Eiffel Tower was a shining beacon on the horizon for a split second. Then it was revealed in all of it’s splendor and glory. Silas decided to get out and take a picture in front of it, then they continued onwards. Arturo was the one driving this time, and he was excellent, probably even better than Silas. ———————————————————————————————————— - [i][b]An old friend[/i][/b] - ———————————————————————————————————— The car stopped near Bois de Boulogne, one of Paris’ two parks. Arturo was the first of them to exit the vehicle, then the rest of them followed suit. The park had two lakes, and a few benches dotted about the area. One of the benches was positioned underneath a tree, it was a very shady spot considering that. Arturo walked towards the bench and sat down. He was very much aware that someone was sitting next to him. “Hello again Kendall.” Arturo said The figure next to Arturo looked at him, his smile covered by his black robes. “Hello again, old friend, what brings you to Paris?” Kendall replied Arturo leaned closer to Kendall, their faces almost touching. “Anarchë.” He whispered Kendall nodded, he understood what the phrase really meant. “Come see me tonight, at midnight, I’ve been busy for a long while. Since the Black Plague, no, since the Dark Ages.” Kendall replied “We’ll see you then.” Arturo replied ———————————————————————————————————— [i][u] June 18, 1888 |12:00 PM| [/i][/u] ———————————————————————————————————— Kendall’s house was very small all things concerned. Well it was more of a shack from what Arturo could see. That was the thing about Kendall, he hid things in plain sight, made the unnatural seem natural. Kendall welcomed them inside, but he told Barichi to go in the backyard. He figured that Barichi had a love for nature, of which he did. Once Barichi was in the backyard Kendall and the others went inside. Inside the house was a kitchen as well as a living room and bedroom. Those rooms were not important to them, what was important was the viewing room. This room looked like a makeshift movie theater, but there was one catch, the projector. There was no projector present, instead there was a scroll with words being inscribed on it. “Take a seat gentlemen.” Kendall barked Luxcious, Silas and Arturo all sat down in three plastic chairs “Thank you for coming here tonight. Now we are all here to discuss the problem at hand. An old threat has returned, storms loom on the horizon. Now Luxcious and Arturo are both familiar with this threat. Silas, my friend, I think you’ll have an easy time understanding this if I assigned music to this presentation.” Kendall said “Maestro! Cue Music!” Kendall shouted [Music: [url=https://dev.invidio.us/watch?v=dG5PhKvrWbA]In The Hall Of The Mountain King[/url]] Suddenly a full orchestra sounded throughout the house, it started off quiet but slowly got louder. Throughout the chaos of the music Kendall spoke about the enemy, who they were and their goals. Most of it was drowned out by the music, and Kendall didn’t even bother telling the Maestro to turn it down a bit. “Well gentlemen, that concludes the little lecture of mine, now off with you! I’m a very busy man, and I have things to do, so go!” He said “Oh, and could one of you check on Barichi please?” He added. ————————————————————————————————————
