tune

loki picked up the diary and flipped it around in her hands but also looked at the skull and pesticide

The radio started playing on its own.
“Hello Hello! Good Morning! Welcome back to our Bright Morning News with me —~——~—”
“And of course, me! —~——~—”
“And to start off this morning we’ve got not so good news… a local rock guitarist was found dead in his hotel room during a tour. The police have speculated that they might have died of suicide but they couldn’t be sure just yet”
“Other speculations on the internet said that the man might have died of alcohol overdose, more on that at 10. For us, let’s look at more of the happy side of yesterday’s night. A fourteen-year-old saved the life of a lost cat and decided to take care of it”
“Yes, the cat was an Amber Maine Coon, and it was left by its old owner at the large garbage dump”

The radio stopped there. Both of the reporters’ names were censored.

The suited figure thought about it for a moment.
“I would say for as long as it’s been created. At that time, Heaven and Hell didn’t agree on this project fully… for Hell wanted full control over it”

The small figure waved his hand slightly, his other hand still holding onto the small bear. He didn’t seem too scared of Hinata or the Celestial Entity.

The diary Loki picked up had a book mark.

11th November (Birthday)
Evening dear diary, today’s my sixteenth birthday. I didn’t expect much from my friends this morning but I had to change my mind. They threw me a surprise in the middle of Reading and Writing class and the teacher even knew about it. I was happy for once today but… it’s sad to realize that tomorrow’s just gonna be another normal day, nothing new really happened and I don’t think anything new will happen

Tolkalee sighed and shook his head. "I have a hard time believing all of this. Just due to my beliefs though. It's nothing against any of you people." He shifted slightly. "I'm just… well… a Christian, so you could probably understand why I have a hard time with all of this."

“I fully understand you’re point, don’t worry… when I got dragged into all of this, anything was barely believable as well” the suited figure claimed.

"I mean, I believe that this is all here, and that the magic exists, it would be dumb not to believe that considering the fact that I have magic. Okay it's a little more science then magic, but I live on a planet that has magic," Tolkalee explained. "Also I'm here so not believing that this exists would be stupid."

“That’s also understandable… I’m aware that you’re down here for your friend and that he’s already back where you want him to be… correct?” The suited figure asked Tolkalee, still not bothering to face him.

"Yep, he is," Tolkalee nodded. "And honestly, I'm glad that he is, cause if my information is correct, which I'm sure it is, a war has just started back home. So I'll be getting back and going to fight again."

The suited figure laughed a little.
“Great news isn’t it?” The figure said in a quiet tone and started to play his lyre again, this time he played a war song.

Tolkalee gave a short laugh. "Not surprising anyways. Seems like they can't go more than a day without me, before they start something, or someone invades. Absolute children."

“Aren’t we all children of fate… though uncertain of it, we live it day by day and it’s just the fun of life…” the suited figure replied as the song they played reached its climax. The figure focused on getting the long line of notes all correct, to which they succeeded and went back to the calm side of the war song.

"Fate is a cruel thing," Tolkalee nodded in agreement with the figure's statement.

The figure, whilst playing, asked Tolkalee something…
“Are you not curious of who I am…? I’ve been talking to you for a solid ten minutes now and I haven’t heard you ask me about my identity yet…”

"A name is only a name," Tolkalee shrugged. "I would know, seeing as how I have close to sixteen different ones, and no one here even knows my real name."

“Are you a man of secrets? Other than that I’m not sure why one would have sixteen names they go by…” the musician commented, playing another calming tune. This one gave the sense of the forest and nature as a whole.

"Well, really, they are all names that others have given me. Such as Demon Warrior, General of the Wild Warriors, Master of the Arena, Tolk, Hosea, Theodore, William, and so on," Tolkalee explained. "but my reason for using so many different names, is because I have a ton of enemies. And to avoid them, I choose to go by different names."

Loki had felt the truth of the words from the diary and flipped through more pages

The next page of the diary…

12th November
Evening dear diary, today I’ve decided… I might have to leave you blank for sometime. Though it is unwanted, I can’t escape the camp coming up. I’ll miss you and I really hope we’ll see each other soon enough… you are the only true friend I have…

“That… is actually smarter than I thought… though it is confusing when you have many names isn’t it?” The suited figure seemed to enjoy this ‘no-direction’ conversation.

Loki looked at the cover trying to find a name "hmmm… Hey Lychan find anything with the skull and pesticide?"
"not yet still looking" he replied as he picked up the skull

Hinata waved in return.

There wasn’t a name on the diary. It was just scribbled.

The skull didn’t have much of an effect… but the pesticide did. Getting close to it triggered a faint conversation.

“For the last time, I’m not accepting this behavior”
“Yeah, same. For the last time, can I remind you to stop peeking into others’ business?”
“Why… this kid…”
“Yeah? That’s me, so what?”
“More arguing and I’ll have to throw away all those paintings you have”
“What the hell did you just say?! You know that that is equal to throwing away my whole life”
“You’re a medical student, start acting like one. Painting is not going to get you your degree so stop wasting time”

The conversation ended with the sound of a door being shut with a bang.

Loki looked at Lychan in utter shock then looked around to see if anything else looked interesting

The small figure got a little closer to Hinata. They held the teddy bear close.
“H-Hello… m-my name is Gavin Jaxon and I’m one of the next generation of Knights” the small figure tried to introduce himself, despite the shyness clearly present.

"Well, hi Gavin." Hinata smiled.
"My name's Hinata."
