Φ Walking into the woman’s house, I see it is run down and pletely messy, but more than that it is filled with fabric. The colourful fabric looks pletely out of p the dreary house.
“I present to you my house; I built it all by myself. It might not be the biggest pce, but it has plenty of soul.”
“You should really up all this fabric, it takes up about 90 pert of the spa this house.” Seeing something that catches my eye I run over and grab it. Feeling it I say, “This is the fur of an ats eater.”
“Yes, I got it from one of those wonderbeasts called predasaurs in Fimbulwinter.”
“But how did you even mahat, Fimbulwinter isn’t the type of pce you go hunting?”
“I bought it off a young man years ago.”
Walking in Atanta says, “Something rare like this would be without a doubt be ridiculously expensive, so how am I to believe you bought this?”
“Well, you see when I was younger I randomly came across a stack of gold and used it to buy the pelt.”
Turning to me Atanta says, “How much longer are we going put up with this farce?”
Ign her I go around and look at the fabrics she has, “This is a ridiculously rge colle, and they're all so varied.”
Walking over to me she says, “I have collected them from all over the world, aren’t they beautiful.”
“They really are, how wonderful, this truly is an amazing colle filled with love.”
Hitting me on my back repeatedly she says, “Aww shucks, flirting with a woman my age, what a daredevil you are. But since you seem to uand me may I ask you for a favour?”
“Depends on what it is.”
“Well, it is sort of embarrassing for me to say,” She says as she tots around like a shy girl on her feet.
“Don’t worry, I am exposed to an embarrassment of mankind right behind me.”
As Atanta beings to e, the old woman asks, “ I please have your hair?”
“No.”
“Oh, e on, why not.”
“I don’t give blood, hair, or nails to anyone.”
“Why!”
“When I was younger, I read a book where someone used those things to perform a satanic ritual, so I am going to keep all those things to myself.”
“Do I look like some kind of witch to you?”
“Better to be safe than sorry.”
Stamping around like a child she throws a tantrum then falls on the floor, and screams, “THIS IS ELDER ABUSE, THIS CHILD IS TREATING AN OLD GRANNY LIKE ME HORRIBLY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE LIVED A HARD LIFE FOR 80 YEARS, BUT THIS BRAT IS JUST DOESN’T CARE!!!”
Goio her I say, “Please don’t cry!”
Stoppiears she asks me, “So you will give me what I want?”
“No.”
She immediately goes back t on the floor like a little child. Trying to figure out a way to stop her g I start to freak out, but Atanta goes up to her and hits her with a wrestling move. “STOP BEING A BABY!”
“Orb, let’s not waste our time with this annoying child.”
“Hey Atanta, you look pretty.”
“Wait, what, really, have you finally e to your senses?” Running at her from behind, the old woman gives Atanta a drop kick.
“Orb you bastard, you distracted me.”
“You should have known that I was lying.”
“e on you floozy, you think a cheap shot like that was enough to keep me down.”
“Don’t worry, I have much more!”
“SO DO I!”
As they are about to charge at each other, I get between them both and hold them back, “Granny you at least tell me what you want my hair for?”
“Oh, I should have started with that.” Moving away from me, she runs then dives into the giant mountain of fabric she has, and after rustling around for a while she pulls something out.
Looking closely at what she is pulling out I see it is a scarf, and a ridiculously long o that. She keeps pulling it out and swivels it around to create a spiral on the floor.
“HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU HAVE BACK THERE!!”
Looking at Atanta she clicks her tongue, and then says, “This is a scarf a has been made from all the different types of fabrics I have been able to get my hands on. You see, it is my dream to not only made the lo scarf in the world but the oh the most varied fabrics.”
“So that’s why you want my hair?”
“Yes, when I saw your hair, I knew I must have it on my scarf.”
“I see, you should have led with that. I lend you some of my hair, it has beeing long again anyways.”
Giving me a hug, she says, “Thank you so much.”
“But there might be a problem,” I say freezing the dye off my hair.
“Did your hair just ge colours?”
“Yes, it happens acc to my emotions, so I don’t know if you would still want it.”
Freaking out she says, “My senses were right, I knew your hair would be amazing.”
“I am gd you like it, and just so you know I have lots of other fabriy ship, you could use those as well.”
“Do you really mean that?”
“Of course, I do. Just let me go fetch them, I’ll be right back.”
Walking out of her house, Atanta says, “Now let’s never return.”
“You really are horrible. Don’t you like adventuring.”
“I like having fun, a me tell you my fun sensor has been tellio get the hell out of here, this try is way too intense and especially that old woman, just looking at her I tell she is going to be a drag.”
Putting my hands together I pray, “Oh god, please don’t let me be as irrational as Atanta ever in my life.”
“I heard that!!”
“I hope you did!!!” I say running away, with her closely following behind.

Φ Sitting on a bench with Cyrus on my p, a woman screams at the people who were surrounding me and Cyrus, she says, “What the hell is wrong with you, making a little girl cry.”
Kneeling down one of them responds, “But we thought she was suspicious. So, we panicked and jumped to clusions.”
“So what, isn’t it your job as grown-ass men to work well under pressure.”
Standing up, the men say, “Hey that’s discrimination, being a man has nothing to do with that.”
“Yeah, right now you're oppressing us based on ender.”
“I refuse to let this unfair double standard go.”
Staring at them, she says, “Shut up before I throw you off of mount lock.”
When the men quiet down, she walks over to me and says, “Sorry about their embarrassing behaviour.”
Putting on my mask I hide my fad turn my head away. “It is not like I care what those idiots do to me.”
Grabbing my face, the woman forces my head in her dire and says, “My god who made this mask the craftsmanship is amazing?”
Another woman grabs me from behind and asks, “What are these tails made of, I have never felt anything this soft.”
Women gathering arouart to touch me all over while asking a never-ending stream of questions, I start to feel sick; too many thoughts. Using my tails, I knock them all away and say, “STAY AWAY YOU BASTARDS.”
One of them walking back over to me says, “Sorry for our rudeness, you’re just rather fasating to us, but we were being rude so let me start with this, my name is Jeter Mercury; what’s your name?”
Causally I say, “Suzuka Gozen.”
“That’s a rather pretty name, for a rather pretty girl.”
“Don’t plimerash.”
Another person walking up says, “Your tails as very pretty.”
“They’re my legacy.”
“I heard of those in story books, but I have never e across one.”
“her have I.”
“Me as well.”
Jeter says, “Looks like we are all lucky to meet you.”
All the pliments Suzuka received has filled her arrogaer, so Suzuka says, “Well of course you are lucky to meet me, I happen, to be me.”
All the people around her had ohought; This girl is so easy!
“So would you be able to tell me who made this mask?”
“It was my mother, she loved every form of art from sculpting to painting.”
“Is this really a dragon? Will he steal old and kidnap our virgin daughters?”
“Yes, his name is Cyrus and he is a rather gentle dragon so don’t worry about him.”
“ you tell me how you got here?”
“I took an airship from Elpída here.”
Shocked the crowd lets out a yell. “Like a ship that flies through the air.”
“Of course.”
They all fall on the ground and say, “Those zy bastards in Elpída beat us to it.”
“Do you guys have an issue with them?”
“Oh course we do, those zy idiots in Elpída have speuries moog off of Basileia’s work and dispying it as if it is their own. While we, the people of Skydust have been trying to surpass her perfe.”
“To choose not to expand Basileia’s craft but io show it off what a waste, we will never five them.”
“Well I know how you guys feel, the people of Elpída are mean especially that one.”
“Whie?”
“THAT DUMB STUPID FUCKER IANCU.”
“Ooh, what did he do?”
“Even though we were o him when we first met, he decided to be mean to us for no reason, but you know what he started to be o Orb while tinuing to bully me. I didn’t even do anything to him, and he just keep going. Every time I see him, I want to crush his stupid vampire face.”
“He sounds like the worst. Who wouldn’t want to be friends with you.”
“I knht.”
“Is there anything else b you?”
“Do you guys really want to know about all that stuff.”
The rge crowd says to me, “Of course!!”
“Ok then, where should I begin.”
While Suzuka tio ramble on, she has yet to notice that the crowd around here has nearly tripled in size.
Skydust is a city where all the citizens work nearly all day, and due to this social iions is not on. So, whenever something neens all the story-starved parasites take some time off work to see it.
And unbeknownst to her, the young girl who has stories from tries these people have never been to is the most exg thing currently going on in their lives.
So, people, families, and even the animals around the city came to the bench she was sitting at to hear the girl ramble.
“Maria did y the food.”
“Right here. I wonder for how much longer she is going to go on for?”
“So that's how I saved me and all my friends from the giant Kraken.”
Suddenly I hear rge cps, then looking around I see such a rge amount of people that I freeze up like prey which has just been spotted by a predator.
“Suzuka you really are amazing,” Jeter says.
Receiving the pliment, I fill up with energy and say, “Oh course I am, but don’t you think it is a bit on fair for only me to talk about myself, Jeter you tell me something about your city. Right now!”
Jeter getting up says, “In this try, we all try to perfect whatever form of craft we choose for ourselves, that is ork to what outsiders may say is a bit too much, but we don’t care cause to all of us reag the highest peak of our craft is the most important thing. So we wear oversized clothes to remind us of the size of each of our individual dreams.”
“Nicely said your majesty,” someone says, as the crowd cheers.
“Eh, what did he mean your majesty?”
“Well it is sort of embarrassing since we are a city and not a try but I happen to be the ruler of Skydust.”
Upon hearing this Suzuka’s arrogaer went all the way down and her giant head burst. Getting on my hands and knees in front of Jeter, I say, “I am so sorry that a lowly vermin like me would dare to insult a royal such as yourself, I was cocky and got ahead of myself. As repentance, I shall perform seppuku right now.”
Trying to push my tail through my stomach I am stooped by Jeter who says, “No need for that, even though I am king I really am not any different than anyone else here, so don’t worry about it. In fact, I am sort of embarrassed to even call myself king.”
After he says this, we all hear a loud screech. Looking over in the dire where it came from I see a flock of gryphons, but more importantly, it seems as if they are waving some sort of fg.
Jeter with sweat running down his face says, “Those are from Gevurah.”
