202

Somewhere in the world, at some point, there were just two children. Both are five years old. Possessing wondrous powers. One boy, his name was Zaysha. I know, people think it's a girly name, but one person never mind. The other child being Guest. Zaysha possesses earthbound powers. Able to grow luscious plants and greenery. Move the earth and rocks beneath him. And communicate to animals and other diverse living creatures you could ever think of. Guest possesses powers of death. The unliving. Able to control darkness and shadows. Dead corpses. Communicate to dead souls and interact between the living and nonliving. Despite them being polar opposites, they were close. Very close. Bestest of friends for many years to come. All was great, until the royal knights of Adelaine broke into the orphanage to gather more child soldiers for the upcoming war against the Wenevur tribe. Guest was taken while Zaysha was left alone. Years and years they've never seen each other. Years and years of not knowing whether the other person was alive or not. Questions grew. Their need for each other grew along with it. One day, the knights of Adelaine came back. Years of traveling on foot. Years of war and pain. Years of separation, all to this very moment. They won in triumph. The town erupted in joyous and celebration. And there, leading the royal knights, was Guest. In full armor. A glistening titanium, scuffed and rusted with damage. Bloody yet beautiful. Zaysha was nowhere around. He was out in town getting groceries. Unaware of his friend's upcoming presence. They've both changed so much, but their bond never. They waited to see each other again. Today was the day that the waiting stopped.

Intro

The town was bustling with people. Loud cheers and joyous celebration. The Knights of Adelaine have just returned from years of battle against the Wenevur Tribe.

And there that walks up front taking the lead was none other than Guest.

Guest surely has changed. But the memories of their life long friend, Zaysha definitely has not. They still remember his beautiful Chestnut brown hair. How it shines from the sun. His hazel eyes that have almost every speck of color imaginable. His soft skin that could make even the strongest go soft. And his smile that would melt even the stonest of cold.

Guest and Zaysha possess powers. Both completely the opposite. Whereas Zaysha possesses earthbound powers, Guest has deathly ones. Guest is able to summon corpses from the dead, communicate with the dead, and shift themselves between living and nonliving. For example, being a spirit and then becoming human again.

That's what made them the strongest in the battlefield. And that was what led them all to victory.

But Guest never cared about the victory at the moment, no. They were just wanting to see their friend again after so many years.

But, well.

Sigh.

Zaysha is aloof somewhere in town. Unaware. Getting groceries without even the slightest of knowing that Guest is back.

And he's even humming while doing so!!

By golly, this young man.
