Description: One ordinary night in the Southtowns, a small lad with little to no memory meets up with a notorious figure. However, Igniz treats him seventy times better than he ever treated K'. Interestinng.....
It's a big world.
Sometimes, it is best to take a step forward out into the world, all alone.
It's scary.
The streets of Southtown are normally safe, but there are man hidden dangers that go about. However, one cannot help but to explore the expansive world to see what it has to offer. One of those people who wander about searching for things is a little boy, no older than thirteen.
The left visible eye is widen in amazement as he sees the lights of the lamps illuminate and the vendors selling many things from fish to chicken. Even some fireworks.
He looks lost, but at the same time, awe-stricken.
"...Wow..." It's scary, without holding onto Ingrid's arm for safety and comfort, but he's managing it.
And there's very good reason why you should be scared of the world. People like Geese and Rugal would do anything for power, but there were still men in the world that wouldn't just do anything, they would play god for it. And, for all purposes, it's unfortunate that Sanel would meet this man today, perhaps he would not know it was him, but he would know, surely, that he had met some one.
Among the hustle and bustle of the streets, Igniz is there in China Town, his robe held over his head, gripped about his figure as he moves through crowds like fish through water, his presence unannounced as he moves. And why should it? He was akin to any other man about.
But soon, his presense will be known by some one. Some one that even Igniz could not really expect to deter it to. Looking about towards the many in the hustl and bustle, the illumination of a few lights catch the gods eye just right towards a small boy. Why would his parents allow him to walk alone? Igniz would almost not even let Kula walk alone. Such terrible parenting.
Many fighters can detect strange things. But not the little boy. It is hard to tell when something of great power comes his way. Without the attunement to chi or anything similiar, the boy is actually content with looking at the fireworks under the display. He is actually wondering if Ingrid would let him get his hands on one of them.
When he sees how one of them works.
He is amazed.
He will definately ask Ingrid if he could get one.
But it isn't until he turns around that he sees that ever godly presence of Igniz. For some reason, there is something about his presence that draws the boy to freeze up. The exposed left yellow eye widen, gazing up at the individual.
No words come out of his mouth, but just a blank stare.
Looking about, much of the man's senses tell him alot about people. Their wants, their needs. Maybe he would only imagine these themselves to prove that he was a god, but it mattered not. To him it was real, all of it, real. To be a god was to be sure that you were the perfection walking the earth, and Igniz was sure of that.
But he did not know why a little boy was out so late. A simple unknown knowledge that still floats about the air. But when the boy turns and freezes, Igniz doesn't move. Had he been seen? What the jig up? But there was no jig was there. It was a waltz that Igniz would do with the world. Moving towards the boy, the man in the cloak says nothing, but approaches gently.
"Child," he begins, "Do not be afraid. I mean you no harm. I see you were interested in the firework. Would you like one?" The god of NESTS asks. "I myself take no pleasure in them, but to give it to someone else, I would be more than happy."
Of course, this would be like accepting candy from strangers. Except Igniz doesn't have a van, and fireworks aren't edible.
For the most part, Sanel remains staring in awe towards the individual. At least, until he finally speaks out at the shorter boy.
The little boy, looking quite lost, is giving his reassurance to the little youth. Barely even a month old, memory-wise, the boy's child-like demeanor is examplified by his innocent naivity as he steps a little closer to the man.
He gets a good look at him with that one visble eye.
A smile is formed and the boy cheerfully nods, "Th---thank you!" He beams. He looks at the fire works, "...I never seen anything like these before!"
Raising his arm to give the vendor more than enough to pay, Igniz grasps a hold of the firework. Bringing it down, the God of NESTS simply hands it to Sanel, in the wrapping it came in. "Oh, there are a lot in the world that many people haven't seen or experienced. Some of the fun is finding it out for yourself, and then unraveling it's secret." Igniz states with full honestly.
Igniz looks down towards the little boy. He is just that. A simple innocent boy that has went out for a walk. Amazing. "What are you doing out, walking by yourself today, boy? Do you not have a home?" Igniz asks. Perhaps he is a street urchin? Maybe a traveler?
Ah, so many things. So many possibilities.
As the older man makes purchase of the fireworks, the boy's eyes light up, studying it carefully. As it is presented towards him, the yellow eye lights up and glimmers once more before he hugs it and smiles as cheerfully and innocent as ever. The boy nods happily, the voice chiming out. "Thank you!"
He blinks a moment later, lifting his eyes up before he answers the question, "...Sis told me that I should see what schools are around. I want to learn so much about this world!" He nods cheerfully, then he lowers his head, "... I... don't know much. It's all fuzzy." Hell, the boy didn't know his own age.
His eyes focus around, "So many people in colorful clothes."
Then the eyes focus at Igniz, "There is something .... majestic----" His eyes light up, as if it was a word that he recently learned, "--that's the word!-- Majestic about you!" He cants his head to the side in a curious manner.
Igniz hears him right? Majestic? Well, Igniz could not really fight such an acute observation, but he must deny such things. Especially out here in the open. He is most definitely it, but not to this boy. "Haha. I assure you I am nothing like that, but it is very flatering." The god of NESTS states with a smile, "I'm quite glad I come off as such."
And the boy talks about school. Many schools. "Ah, yes. School. There are many around here. I've seen them, almost all of them as of late. From the large to the small, each and all had their own characteristics. I would urge you to do such a thing, go to one of your choosing and learn about the world around you. I'm very sure you will enjoy it." The god pushes. Was he sure? Not at all. But, still, an education was an education.
He's most certain.
As the man reassures him that he is nothin majestic, the boy remains mindful of the man, nodding once more. Hoever, the boy cannot help but to consider such. There is no other way to describe the man.
"...Sis told me of the schools." He frowns a bit, "I haven't gotten a chance to look around them yet. I had seen so many people around here! It's... neat!" The boy, loss for words, come up with what makes the most sense to him. His vocabulary isn't as developed as most people his age should be, but it's there.
The boy smiles once more, then he considers the customs. Oh! Right! The bow gives a bow, traditional Japanese-style bow. "I am Sanel!"
"Oh, good. You have a sister I see." Igniz exclaims, master of the obvious. "Does she know that you are alone?" He states, mostly serious about the issue. "Oh, there is so much and more you could only imagine what awaits with a little poking about." The god of NESTS exclaims.
Ah, but now the boy continues. Developed or not, Igniz will continue to use the words of his choice. Perhaps he could teach the boy indirectly? "Oh, it most is! School is a great place to get started. Everyone goes to school." The god exclaims with a smile, and upon hearing the name of the boy, Igniz nods. "My name is Igniz. Nothing more, nothing less. But, ah. Who is this sister you talk of?"
Nodding towards Igniz, the boy considers the question once more. As he considers it, the boy offers a frown, "...I suppose not." He kind of feels bad. "But I did tell her that I would go around exploring the schools!" The boy admits. But, at least, wandering the rest of the city alone, however, was something that he neglected to mention.
"Ah.... Yes, sis told me that!" As Igniz introduces himself, the boy nods slowly and he bows again, "Pleased to meet you!" He leans back up with a cheerful look.
"Oh! Sis is Ingrid! She is a nice lady!"
"...She took me in after my brother died." The boy runs his hand over his shoulder. "...I don't remember much about him. Only that he was my brother."
"Ah. An unfortunate action. I'm sure it was unforseen." The god of NESTS proclaims. "But that's besides the point. As sad as it is, you must learn from it, and move on. Feel what you feel, whatever that, and move on." The god states simply, as if he had lost anything precious to him at all. "Still... There is much to learn."
Looking upon the small boy, oh, he's quite maliable. "Ah, Ingrid. I see. Where does she take residence? Where do you live, Sanel?" He asks softly. It truely is something to say for itself.
"However, now you may give her and show her the fire cracker. Perhaps sometimes you must go against the right and proper to get what you want."
Je...sen.
That was his name, right?
The boy pauses, trying to reflect on his brother's name. And his smile. There was that soul-lifting smile that the boy had. But that fades from the thoughts.
The boy turns to face Igniz once more. Where does she take residence and where does he live? The boy was always told to never tell strangers that part!
"Uhh... Sis always says that... uhhh..." He pauses, how did it go. His right hand runs along his cheek, then he taps the chin. As he perks up in remememberance, he looks at Igniz. "Sore wa himitsu desu."
He smiles a little more, "...I want to see you again sometime and talk with you more." He looks at the arm, "I should be going home now, sis is probaly waiting for me!"
Igniz nods understandably. He should be going home to see his sister. Such a man like Igniz could only be truly bad news. "Of course, Sanel. Of course. I shall see you again then, child. Rest well." The man exclaims. Ah, what youths there are in todays world. And soon, they will all be under the hand of NESTS each and every one. The world will be NESTS child, and the god of NESTS will be Igniz.
"Of course. I will see you again soon as well. Go back to your sister then and think of school." The man in the robe exclaims, allowing the boy to leave with the fire works.
Information is work much less than that.
