The Afternoon Orange light shined into the sky, but as they came through the windows of tracen, they turned a deep black red, as if the End of the World had begun on a causal Thursday. Barely anyone was at they're dorms but the ones there heard a siren's call, a distress call.
"Gimlet! Tanino Gimlet!"
The source of such crying came from, a surprising source. The awkward, Foriegn and yet intimidating, Symboli Kris S. Kris S didnt talk to people much, only talking to those close to her as they understood her best. But even then she felt somewhat uncomfortable in situations, the only one she felt the most comfortable around was. . . Her Destiny.
" That's exactly what I want ---My Destiny "
" ... that is, Tanino Gimlet. "
Her Destiny, Tanino Gimlet was like nobody she had meet before. She was chaotic, essentric and most of all, Confident in anything she did. which included making vows.
" I swear under this starry sky I will continue to be your- your destiny. "
She said what she said with great confidence, knowing full well of what she said.
" Then... I to shall make a vow. Tanino Gimlet, I will continue to be her trial. "
Kris S was attracted to the God of Destruction, she didnt understand why though, she was the complete opposite of what she was. Maybe that was it, If only she could express herself fully. . .
On Septembe 1st, a new chapter within revelations was being witnessed by the world's very eyes.
" —Revelation, depending on the recipient's state of mind, can vary thousands of times, sometimes giving rise to great conflict over its true meaning… "
This wasn't right, she couldn't believe it. But it Kris S watched in Horror, as promises were being broken.
" —I will accept and love this chaos! Shatter the words as you please! Farewell, world, and beloved observers! "
Gimlet had dissappeared for quiet sometime after the Derby, it was odd, it was out of character and to reappear like this... it was unreal.
" Beyond the intoxication, behold my unfading light-- "
But As Kris S saw on the TV as Tanino Gimlet finished her sermon, she walked away, in a limping motion. it was all starting to connect now
She pretended like it was no bid deal. After all, her mission was more Important... right? . . . Gimlet wasn't just her trial... she was her destiny... like how she should've showned... instead of showing Half of what she was feeling.
Gimlet had promised, to be her destiny and Kris S promised to be a Trial... no... no no no No! Kris S had to be there, to be by her side. Kris S wanted to bring peace to Gimlet's chaotic and self-destructive world. So that this exact wouldn't happen... She wasn't fast enough.
Kris S ran down the hall and she came to a stop when she made it to Narita Brian and Tanino Gimlet's Dorm room, the Door was slightly open. And as Kris Opened it---
"Giml- . . . . Gimlet..."
". . . Huh? Kris S...."
Inside, there was only Gimlet. She should've been happy, She should've been comfortable to see her, but Kris did not...
She did not feel a warm comfortably in the room. She didnt see the bold, bright and confident figure standing before her... She saw a manikin with shattered legs, sitting on her bed, a crutch on the side, a fallen off eyepatch and a face covered in Darkness. The only Bright thing about Gimlet was her Blue Dictus Eye that stood out from the gloomy atmosphere of it all.
"Gi-Gi... Giml- . . . that's... not-- thats not true!"
". . . It is... the sadness truth... unfortunately... "
Kris S was scared to talk, she didn't want to seem weak or say the wrong thing.
"How long. . . . . until recovery. . . . ."
"Doctor said. . . . . Until next year"
"That's. . . . Ok. . . Right?--- You'll comeback, Gimlet?. . ."
". . . . . Kris... I'm sorry. "
". . . . What."
This. This shouldn't be real, right? This had to be real, Kris S was sweaty, she was feeling anxious, she bit her lip until it busted open with blood coming out, hoping it would wake her up.
"No that--- That cant be!"
"My Trainer hypothesized that. . . if i were to return, I would be unfit to continue running... I would no longer be at my peak... I'm sorry... Kris. . ."
Gimlet herself was having trouble speaking, her legs were shaking as well, but they were shaking because of how much pain they were In. She did her best to calmly explain, but Kris couldn't accepted it.
". . . . . Gimlet. . . But our rivalry... The vows-- promises? All of- "
"Broken... I know... Kris... I'm sorry Kris... . . ."
Broken. That word, Broken. It couldn't describe half of what Kris was feeling. But Like a shotgun that word shoot towards her and ripped her heart in an instant.
" No... No.... no... "
Kris S shut her eyes as tears began to form, trying to hold herself back. But the Sadness and Frustration were building up. And they released like a Tsunami.
". . . NO! I wont accept this! I will be here with you Gimlet. Until you recover! "
"Kris... There's no point. you'll be hurting yourself more..."
"I'm willing to be here to help you recover!"
"Kris. . ."
"We made promises to each other! We Promised to be each other's Destiny!"
"KRIS S!"
The God of Destruction grew more frustrated with Kris S's persistence, her anger was beginning to outway her sadness and it was beginning to show through her voice. Gimlet yelled, commanding the authority in her room, silencing the Jet-Black Emperor, leaving her in a state of fright.
". . . ."
"Kris... "
Gimlet resented her tone. She cares about Kris S, she needed her to go back on her mission, to achieve her goals. Thats what her Trainer needs her to do. If only Gimlet could care about herself more for her Trainer.
" I'm a lost cause, a Burden... to my Trainer... to my generation... to my... to my destiny... Being here with me will only bring about you're Absolute Destruction... like how It came for me... go achieve, you're own glory."
". . . Gimlet please. . ."
"Forget about me. . ."
"Gimlet..."
"Go find a new Rival."
"No no no no....."
"Go find someone else to Love."
"Gimlet. . . ."
"FORGET ABOUT MY EXISTENCE!"
"I DONT WANT TO!"
The room fell silent at Kris's Cry, she fell down to the ground in front of Gimlet, she looked up and gently grabbed onto one of Gimlet legs. Kris wanted to be with Gimlet, she wanted to help her, to help bring her Happiness, Peace and Joy.... but Gimlet did not feel the same in the moment, she wish she could feel the love that Kris was trying to give her, she truly wish she could. If only she could wish for it sooner.
Kris S looked up to see Gimlet's face looking back, the Dictus eye staring intently. Gimlet raised an arm and placed it on Kris's cheek, she knows it hard... but Kris, needs to accept this.
"Look at you. . . Jet-Black Emperor. how did to come to this?"
". . . ."
" Ah I know why. It was because of me, I was irresponsible with myself and was punished for it, rightfully so... "
" . . . Gim- "
"You deserve better. . . Kris. I am a Burden, I am someone who is not safe around others, not even myself. A God of Destruction."
". . . . Gi-"
"Shut Up"
". . . ."
" The Derby... yeah... I saw you upfront, you're were gorgeous, strong and powerful. A perfect rival... my destiny... that I selflessly took for granted. ...My Destiny... Symboli Kris S... . . . "
" This is, Our Parting Ways- "
As Tanino Gimlet said that, a tear feel from her normal eye, it dropped to the floor, creating a flood of sadness across the space it inhabitants. Gimlet knew this was the only option to do... to save Kris from the pain they she had brought her, she brought to much, if she were to say that, Kris would instantly deny it, but it was the truth.
Kris came back to her senses, let go of Gimlet's Leg and got up, she was breathing heavily, eyes dried, messy hair and a broken heart.
". . . . I'm..... I'm sorry... Gimlet..."
"Do not be.... this isn't half of what I'm feeling either... You're future is brighter. . . Than mine Kris. You know it."
". . . . I'm sorry. . . . . Gimlet... my destiny... "
Symboli Kris S was at the lowest point in her life... she had to accept it for what it is. The sad but but the Truth. As Kris Stepped infront of Gimlet's door, her fist Tightened, making blood come out from her finger nails staping into her hand. She closed her eyes and ran away out of the dorm room leaving the corpse of the God of Destruction to rot... whether she wanted to or not.
". . . . Kris..."
Gimlet turned her head over on her pill and began to wept.
