Broken dream.
June 27, Kerning City.
Deluded fools all of them
~~~
Gina did not come back last night, it is a good thing though, I did not want her to tag along with me today.
I never liked Kerning City, and I probably never will, nevertheless I need to go there. As usual, I took a Taxi but today the ride seemed to take longer than usual, maybe because I was in a hurry today?
-Hey you!
-Yes?
-Were here.
-This does not seem like Kerning to me.
-Shut up! Give me all your money or el-
-My, oh my, look at those red stains on your Taxi, well, I guess I will just walk the rest then, thanks for the ride.
I slowly made my way to Kerning, lingering to look at the beautiful Sunset Sky spoiled by the pollution near the city. After a minute or so I arrived at my destination, as usual, it was crowded with people attempting to join up in Party Quests. But here and there you could spot more experienced persons, hoping for a homicidal murderer to come and summon a Mushmom or a Jr.Balrog.
I did not have time for petty games, I sped up and made my way to the Fusion Bar. When I got in, my host was sitting at a stool and scooping a Red Bean Sundae down. Merely glancing at me and nodding at the stool beside was more than enough for me to understand, I sat down.
-Youre late, Leo.
-My apologies.
-And youre still talking like that.
-My apologies.
-You really didnt change a lot did you?
-
-Oh youre such a bother, why did you come here anyway?
-I
need your help.
-Well thats a first, what kind of help can I provide to one such as you? A White Knight seeks help from a measly Chief Bandit?
-
-Just kidding you, what do you need help with?
-You have a lot of connections right?
-Sure do.
-So
do you think you can gather a bunch of experienced fighters to help me fight something, someone?
-Well
most of the people around here would do anything for a big, fat bag of mesos, if youre paying I can gather you an entire army from around the Island.
-Money is not a problem.
-Well, if thats the case then Ill start recruiting, Ill send you the bill later on.
-Alright, what would I owe you then?
-My pay you mean?
-Yes.
-Lets see
usually I charge you around 10 million for services right?
-That is correct.
-Ill give you a special this time, Ill let you go for a kiss on the cheek and a ”Thank you Cyllia”.
-Uh?
-Youre kidding me right? Youre dumb AND deaf?
-No
but what kind of payment is that?
-Consider this
my Wedding Present to you.
-How did y-
-Your soon-to-be bride came by and gave me an Invitation yesterday, lets just say I was surprised, to say the least.
-*sigh*
-No sighing allowed.
-My apologies.
-So
are you paying me now Leo?
-Alright, alright, thanks for the
gift?
-My pleasure, dear brother.
-Thank you Cyllia.
I leaned close to her cheek and kissed her, reminded me of old memories, times long lost
-*sigh*
-I thought you said no sighing allowed?
-Hey, I can do whatever I want, this is my turf.
-But, why did you sigh?
-Just remembering the good old days, before mom and dad died, before you and I were separated and all. I remember I used to run to you when I played in the flowers behind our house. Youd catch me and kiss my cheeks just like you did now and play around with me
-
-Well
regretting the past wont bring anything, lets just towards the future now.
-I agree, but if you ever need me, feel free to contact me.
-Well
if you dont mind then Ill take that offer whenever I need it then.
-Almost time for me to go back now, I hope to see you soon.
-Ill be going now, see you around, brother.
-Bye, sister.
She slipped off the stool and went towards the exit, covering herself with her White Seraph Cape, hiding her Pink Top and Plitz Skirt as she disappeared outside. Five shadows followed her out, each of them nodding a respectful farewell at me.
I have five days left.

Busy right now, going to submit an entry for that Wedding contest, wish me luck and root for me!
And I know I didnt do 7.1 yet, Ill do I when I feel I can take it, so just give me some time, thanks.
P.S.: Cyllia is an entirely fictional character.
Good luck on the wedding. x]
Anyways, the story. When you speak, why do you use, “-“? It’s rather annoying. And hard to tell who is talking.
But good nonetheless.

”-” is usually used for speeches, and I made it hard to tell who’s talking on purpose.
It’s a Diary, remember?
Meh. No, I don’t remember. Dx Dam low memory storage!
It’s right on the title. -.-
But I forget once I read the title.
:] I can tell whose doing the talking! Well, sorta. And what’s the time limit? D:
didnt like this one as much as others
Did you read Part 4?
Your stories are very interesting, I read them all. Even if I know what really happened, I think you did some great work putting it in a story.
Wishing you the best for your Maple life.
