-Break-
Talking in the ambience of everything around me, I say, “How peaceful this is.”
Suddenly I feel something soft crash into me, then moments ter I hear, “You three are cuddling up without me!”
“There she is to ruin the day!”
“Sorry Atanta me and Orb were just taking a moment to rest.”
Hugging Suzuka, Atanta says, “I know you wouldn’t leave me out due to mal i, but I am sure Orb would.”
“Yht, that souly like something I would do.”
Draping her body over Cyrus, she says, “See how much of a bully Orb is, save me, Cyrus!”
Suzuka says, “And he is a manwhore!”
They both start to t, “Bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore, bully, manwhore!”
“Hey, stop sndering my name you two!!”
Puffing her cheeks and turning her face away, Atanta says, “Cyrus tell the doggy I won’t be talking to him for the foreseeable future.”
“That sounds perfectly fio me.”
g she says, “I hate you!!!!”
Staring at her, I say, “You are ag a little looser than usual, and your face is bright red.”
Burping, she says, “No I’m not!”
Smelling the burp, I say, “Wait!” Then I grab and smell her body.
Giggling, she says, “That tickles.”
“Just put up with it.” Not only my hearing but my sense of smell is also impeded, but after getting a good sniff I say without the shadow of a doubt that she is intoxicated. “You're drunk.”
Woozy, she says, “grats that’s the right answer!!!”
“Where the hell did you eve alcohol from?”
Flicker in and out of sciousness she says, “Orb your hair is fluffy.”
Throwiowards Cyrus, I say, “She will be of no help in that state.”
Suzuka tapping me on my shoulder says, “Orb look!”
Taking a sed to look at the people in front of me, I notice they all look just as drunk as Atanta. “I thought they were just being their usual rowdy selves but their all dead drunk, who did this?”
Pointing again, Suzuka directs me to a man from Gaia’s sky handing out wio everyone partying.
Running over to him with Suzuka close behind, I say, “I will be back soon Cyrus keep her close till then.”
He nods his head in approval as I rush off.
Seeing the man handing out more wine, I build up rotational energy then drop kick him iomach. When he nds on the ground, I pick him up then say, “Was freezing off your arm not enough to smae seo you dumb bandits.”
“What do you mean?”
“I am talking about the alcohol; these guys ’t ha.”
“But they said they have had alcohol before.”
“The alcohol they made was just from berries they found around. In terms of overall alcohol tent, it is nothing pared to processed wine.”
Suzuka asks, “How do you even know such things?”
Turning my head back, I say, “Capti was a rampant alcoholi his younger days, so he spread his knowledge of wines in his books to me. Now, man, why did you guys do this?”
“We simply thought it would be fine since Sparrow told us it would be ok?”
Dropping him, I grab my head, and say, “I fot about him! Do you know where he is?”
“He is over there talking to the people where her majesty Pine is.”
“Thank you,” I say as I pick him up.
Running towards where he points, Suzuka asks me, “Is Pine a queen?”
“No, it is what they call old dy Pine.”
“Why?”
“Because after my punishment, their souls were broken into pieces and Pi them back together.”
“She sounds nice!!!”
“That’s one of many terms I could use to describe her.”
After seeing Sparrow, I ruo him and say, “What the hell did you do?” Whilst preparing to bunch him.
But I am stopped by a member of Aplos, who says, “Orb don’t hit him.”
“He hasn’t done anything wrong.”
“He is our friend.”
fused by everyone's words, I say, “What do you guys mean?”
With a bright smile, Sparrow says, “Oh Orb I haven’t seen you yet, it is o see you are doing well.”
Seeing his face, a feeling of disgust and disfort wash over my body, “What are you doing!?”
Getting up and walking over to me, he says, “My ge in demeanour is because I have truly awakened and joihe side hteousness like my other friends in Gaia’s sky.”
“Bullshit!”
His right-hand man Kac says, “I guarahat the former boss is a much better person now. Isn’t that right guys!”
The members of Gaia’s sky around us start to speak.
“I promise you he is good now.”
“He has tried his best to help.”
“His is almost unreizable.”
People from Aplos also start to speak up.
“He taught us how to use spirit arts.”
“He’s been going out to buy supplies for us.”
“Do you really think someoh suice hair could be a bad person?”
Speaking up, I say, “Bullshit!!!"
“No, we are being ho.”
“Why would I believe that!?”
“Why did you believe the others have gotteer?”
“Because I ripped their dicks off! So, until I do the same to him I won’t believe shit.”
Walking up close, Sparrow says, “Don’t try and vince him guys, if the time we spent together wasn’t enough to vince him I don’t know what , but thank you all.” When he finished speaking, he fshed a smile to the members of Aplos.
This causes me to take note of the fact that the people who are defending him, are mostly old people.
Feeling a pat behind me, I turn around and see Pine who says, “Orb he has ged. He isn’t as bad as you think and is rather charming!”
My face turo one of shock; that bastard has seduced all of the old people including Pine. Giving him a look of furry, I make a promise in my heart; I will never five you.
Pine says, “And if you hear how he became the way he did you will feel sorry for him, it truly is a tragic tale.”
Suddenly all the people arouart to tear up. “What tragic story? I am pretty sure that anything ing out of his mouth would be utter nonsense.”
Someone says, “Orb why would you say that?”
“Because I have ive 100 reasons to trust him!”
Walking forward, Sparrow says, “It is alright guys, it is perfectly normal for Orb not tive me, but I don’t care as long as my as help you guys.”
As everyone swoons, I rub my head and then say in anger, “SUZUKA, I need you to read this guy's mind!!” Looking around I don’t see her anywhere, so I say, “SHE VANISHED AGAIN!!!”
Running away I say, “I will be back soon!”
Φ As Orb runs off a smirk that I try to hide appears right on my face; finally, finally, I got the upper hand against that little shit.
Ever since he traded me for Atanta, I have been putting my pn in motion, the first thing I did ut on my best act the eime he was gone, I used my smarts and devilish smile to help everyone around here.
It seems that Kad all the rest of my people turning into their little obedient sves made them a lot more open to my sudden ge.
The step was to revive my men, they had beeered and domesticated. I o awaken their souls, their manhood.

“Kac what are you doing?”
“I am just pig flowers for little Sapy’s birthday.”
Hitting the flowers out of his hand, I say, “You aren’t a dad, you’re a scum of the earth bandit who steals from little girls then sells them into svery, and goes out to a brothel with the profits only to create another little girl who you will abandon in a heartbeat.”
With a deluded smile, Kac says, “Oh I have given up on such a life, her majesty Pine has saved and redeemed my soul in her ever-present bosom.”
Smag him, I say, “ you really move on that quickly!? you really get over what that boy Orb did to you!? HE RIPPED OFF YOUR DICK FODS SAKE!!!”
Seeing him get shaken, he says, “I don’t ne-e-e-ed it.”
Smag him, I say, “Remember my brother, remember ass, remember boobs, remember sex, remember the prostitutes, remember the faces of all the g whores you left sihers, remember all the things that your penis allowed you to do.”
Holding his head, he says, “No, no, no, no!!!”
Shaking him, I say, “e back my brother, I need you!!!”
Screaming he falls to the ground thes up saying, “Sparrow I am back, and we are going to make that brat Orb pay for his sins.”
“You god damn right!!”
4 months ter
Sihen, I have turned all my fellow bandits bato their normal selves, which allowed me to increase the scope of my pn. I got them all addicted to alcohol during the wedding, I knew first-hand that people like them would be crushed by the tent of refined alcohol.
I trained my body to be able to trol evei of movements so I could ter Orb’s hearing. Then I used the time we were out gathering supplies to spread more rumours about the fact that people lived in Fimbulwio rouse the market for more sves from Aplos.
, I went to look for more men and support, and after finding a fair few patrons thanks to the rumours, I was able to get some men ready to raid this pce. I nning to do it during the funeral when everyone had their guards down and was drunk but it didn’t turn out that way.
I hadn’t anticipated that Orb would return but God damn am I happy; that face of frustratio on was the greatest thing I had ever since.
But that wasn’t enough it was nowhere enough; I am going to turn all his friends against him. Then I will slowly work my way into his heart, and then at the height of all our friendship I will betray him!
I will sell ead every one of these assholes into svery, then I will torture Orb ead every day. I will take a giant sword and sodomise him and when he cries, I will tell him it is for reform.
Then when he is hungry, I will starve that bastard. Also, whenever he tries to escape I will cleverly intercept and impede his pns, and after that give him a look like he is a pathetic creature for not accepting my reform.
I will make him stantly get sick then when I should be gently nursing him back to health, I will abandon him instead. Then finally when he voices his opinions to be helpful, instead of validating those opinions I will make fun of him instead and tell him to shut up until he cries!!!!!
Sparrow has gone ever so slightly insane.
One of the woman of Aplos say, “Sparrow would you be able to tell us the stain?”
With a face full of shame and despair, I say, “Are you sure you want to hear it, I don’t want to destroy the mood?”
“Of course we do and it would be a great way of inf the people around how you became the way you did.”
Sitting down, I say, “Then gather around all who want to hear.”
Thanks to all those childhood books I read of modern heroes like Warwid a heroes such as Charles I was able to create a heart-wreng story that these isoted people of Aplos wouldn’t know about.
“Now the day it happehe sky was both heavy and light, the air was hot and cool, and my skin was dam dry.”
Suddenly one of the people arouerrupts, with an “Excuse me?”
Looking towards who spoke up, I see a young girl dressed in dy-like clothes and on her p is a girl who looks like she is terrified; are they some of the people Orb brought back with her?
With a kind smile, I ask, “Is there a problem miss?”
“Oh, you see this little one in my arms isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed so could you be very exad on the point?”
“I will. Now where did I leave off, it wa-.”
“Also, could you please raise your voice, it is a struggle to hear you like that.”
Slightly annoyed, I ask, “Do you have any other request, miss no name?”
“I am vat of any other requests at the moment, and I do have a is Elia and I hope we have a pleasant time together,” She says with a smile simir to Orb.
