Thread: Spirit of the Crystal Shard (HKitten and J)

Brand felt something... How long had it been since he felt... anything? His scattered, sleepy mind tried to focus on what he was feeling. He tried to understand what it was. It feels... good, the youth thought. Yes, good is the right word... warm. It was then that Brand realized how terribly cold he was. He hadn't noticed the cold before, but now he knew that he needed the warmth. He had to embrace it, and draw it in. A blue, glowing cloud emerged from the shard and began to coalesce in front of Noah. Slowly, a human shaped silhouette appeared within the thickening cloud. Then, the cloud seemed to be absorbed into it, finally revealing a blond youth who was about Noah's age. He wore tan trousers and a small gold charm on a leather cord around his neck. There were tattoos up his left arm and he looked surprised. Brand's memories came back to him now that he wasn't trapped in the strange limbo that had held him. He had been in the castle, working late. The Lady Adalheid had come to ask his help. He had gone to her quarters... and that was all. Brand gasped and put his hand to his chest. The powerful, blazing furnace that had existed inside his heart as far back as Brand could remember was now only a feeble spark. When he was small, Brand had sometimes wished to be human like the other orphans and foundlings, but now he felt a terrible emptiness where his inhuman power had once filled him. Now, Brand stood before a handsome youth he didn't recognize, though he did feel a strange connection to him. The other teen's clothes were unfamiliar, but clean and well fitting. The room was unfamiliar as well, but clean and lavishly furnished with well crafted furniture. There was even a magical looking stone that revealed people and carried their words into the room. Brand didn't understand the language at first, but he touched the charm around his neck, and the magical gift given him by his king allowed the youth to understand. He looked back to the other youth. Clearly the handsome redhead was a wizard or a powerful noble to have such a home and a magical wonder at his command. Brand fell to one knee and bowed his head. My lord, he said respectfully. I do not know how I came to be here. If I am intruding, please pardon me. I meant no trespass. I am lost. I don't remember how I came here, or what place this is.

Noah was just staring at the blue glow as it held some mystical power. It was strange at how beautiful the crystal was and it lured him into just wanting to clutch at it and hold it forever. It was then that some strange smoke starts to slip out from the shard. In his shock, the teen dropped the crystal onto the ground and watched as the smoke formed into some weird cloud, which then began to form into a person. Just the idea that this was happening was too much and he took another step back. When he was younger, the redhead had loved the idea of magic. He embraced it and often times, would pretend he had magical powers. Like superheros or mystical creatures. So it wasnt too much of a shock for him to be seeing this, really. He had seen it happen a million times in some weird magic show and trick shop. But this was the first time it had occurred in his house. The boy in front of him just stared at him like he was some stranger but of course, it wasnt like they had ever met. This blonde was shocked to see his surroundings, and before he could speak to say welcome?, this person bowed before him. For a moment, Noah was lost at the words and he glanced around as if to look for someone else behind him. When he found no one, he pointed at himself as if asking me?. Umwhat? Dude, thats not funnyI mean, it was cool and all, the whole magic trick and the poofy thing he made some weird hand motions into the air around him as if he had smoke around his body as well and did a small jump in imitating how he just appeared. Once he was done demonstrating, he just shrugged. Yeahso, what you did was cool, but really. The necklace was barely eight bucksyou didnt have to go through all that trouble just to make me fall for it. the redhead chuckled, giving this blonde teen a smile. Oh, Im Noah, by the way. I go to Perin High School? What about you? Youre likewhat, seventeen, eighteen? Oh, man, please dont be one of my upperclassmen. how awkward would that be? He wanted to make a good impression on his classmates, but if some of them were as crazy as this guy, he wasnt so sure he wanted to meet the rest of them. Noah was about to speak again, when he realized that this guy had crazy tattoosreal tattoosup his left arm. Was this guy some gangster? This cant be goodwhat if he beats me up for not cheering for his trick? he slightly panicked.

Brand was confused. The other youth had traded eight bucks... male deer for a necklace. Clearly in addition to being a wealthy lord, the redhead had to be a very skilled hunter if he considered eight deer to be a paltry price. Brand didn't know anything about a necklace, but he knew what a school was. Maybe a high school was the local name for a place where the magical arts were taught. I am Brand the smith, my Lord Noah, Brand said respectfully. I am in my sixteenth year. The youth suddenly realized that he was barefoot and bare chested, and feared that he might have given Lord Noah offense. Maybe that's why he seems so ill at ease? Please pardon my half naked state, my lord. I was working in the forge before I... Suddenly, the room seemed to be spinning. Brand's limbs felt like they were made of lead, and when he tried to stand, he toppled over onto his back. Brand groaned. I feel so... tired, he said weakly before passing out.

Noah raised an eyebrow at this strange fellow, wondering what he was talking about the entire time. The blondes name was apparently Brand like a brand-name? and he was the same age as the redhead was this year. So they were in the same year? That was strange, because he could have sworn he had never met Brand before, or even seen him once. Now Noah wasnt the geekiest of students, but he wasnt what one would consider a popular student either. But he did get around and he would have at least remembered this boys face. Yeah, I dont really care if youre dressed like--. before he was able to finish his sentence, blue eyes widened as Brand suddenly toppled over and passed out. He panicked and rushed over to the blonde, gently turning him over onto his back to check his pulse in case the other teen had just died or something. Whoa, dudethis is not cool he muttered, glancing around as if looking for help. Who was he looking for, he wondered. It wasnt like anyone else lived in the house with him, since his parents were away for now. With a small sigh, Noah wrapped his arms under Brands armpits and attempted to drag the other male up and to the couch. The key word was attempt . The redhead really wished he had taken weightlifting class, because this dude was all muscles and was rather heavy because of that. He bit his bottom lip and dragged Brand until he finally reached the edge of the couch. Oh my god, what is with this dudeno ones this buff and acts like some medieval freak he groaned, basically dragging bit by bit of the other boy onto the couch. Noah firmly believed that only the geeks and weirdoes of his school were the ones that dressed up and played pranks on people they didnt know in medieval garb, but he supposed he was wrong. Sighing again, he realized that this other boy was out cold any normal person would have woken up after that horrible rug burn he must have caused on Brands back from all the dragging. Sitting down at the edge of the couch and next to the blondes side, he reached out a hand and smacked the other teens chest a few times. Brand was definitely filled out, making him a bit jealous at that. The redhead firmly told himself that he was going to the gym tomorrow. He needed more exercise. Hey, Brand. Wake up. Really, this isnt funny. Youre not some homeless guy are you? he asked out loud to no one really.

Rug burn was caused by friction heat, but since Brand was immune to heat and fire, he didn't get a rug burn. He did feel something smacking his chest. Brand woke, but he still felt weak. The fire in his heart still a tiny candle flame. I'm sorry. I feel so tired, Brand said. Homeless? No, I'm an orphan, but I have a home. I am part of the household of King Wolfgar. I live in Stronburg Castle, where I work in the forge for my king. Brand groaned and his hand moved to his chest again. I feel like the fire inside me has all but gone out. Brand saw a small, dull looking knife lying on the low table close by. He picked it up and held it near his mouth. The blond youth drew a deep breath and exhaled fiery, blue mist that heated the metal to white hotness. Then, he shaped the metal with his fingers and his power, making it as sharp as a razor. Brand frowned weakly. At his full power, he could have imbued the knife with magical sharpness and strength. You see? I can barely work the metal now... what has happened to me? Where am I, Lord Noah?

When Brand finally woke up, the redhead sighed in relief. It wasnt like he was actually worried over a stranger, but it was rather concerning when a person just faints in ones house after playing a trick on said person. Noah parted his lips to greet the other male back to the land of the conscious, when he heard Brand speak about something like a fire inside of him. The teen raised an eyebrow and was about to make a rude comment about how strangers shouldnt speak of sexual fires within them to each other. Before he was able to, however, Brand gently moved to grab the mail opener and looked like he was about to eat it. Whoa, wait, you cant but his words died in his throat as he stared at what the other boy was doing. Blue flame, actual flame like a torch, was flowing out of the blondes lips as if he was some human cross with a machine. What Noah blinked hard and started to inch back and away from the other boy. He was sitting right next to Brand and saw it with his own eyes. There was no way that was a trick, was it? Perhaps it was, but it was so real ! How did you do that?! The teen glanced back and forth from eyes to lips, wondering what Brands secret was. Magic? That was just stuff in books and games, wasnt it? He was sure this was all a trick, but at the moment, he felt so amazed at this trick, he was memorized. His fingers dug into the blondes abdomen unconsciously, having not removed it in the first place. Even though he might have been scratching at the other teen, he was too spellbound by the magic to care about things other than the trick to blowing blue flames that molded the metal object.

Brand felt Noah's fingers press into his abs. It actually felt sort of nice to have this other youth's hand on his bare body. Brand had always known that he wasn't as attracted to girls as he was to boys, but he had never had a chance to find out how good another boy's hands could feel on his body. The young smith groaned softly and the hand not holding a cooling piece of metal moved to touch the hand Noah had pressed to his abs. It's the fire inside me, Brand moved to tap his chest, but in his groggy state, he forgot that he was holding Noah's hand. He drew the other teen's hand over his smooth skin and hard muscles to place it over his heart. Like the heart of a volcano... long as I remember... But now it's almost gone. Like it's been taken from me. Brand's green eyes met the crystal blue eyes of the other teen. Where am I, Lord Noah? How did I get here? What's happening to me? The worry Brand felt was written over his face.

The teen glanced up into Brands eyes when the other male started to speak. He barely felt the hand on his own because he was too distracted, but when it moved and took his hand with it, he flushed red as he felt the heart beat under his palm. His hand twitched slightly, as if about to move completely away, before he heard the small voice from the other male. UmBrandIm just Noah. Youre crazy and delusional well, you came from that thing Noah used his free hand to point at the small crystal on the ground, still connected to the string that made it a necklace. If Brand had truly came from that necklace instead of this being all some really weird magic trick, then what did that mean? The redhead wasnt some princess that needed someone to rescue him and drag him away into a fairy tale life, so that whole idea was thrown out of his mind. Then again, they were both males, so that wouldnt have worked anyways. What are you doing here? I meanyou look like someone from a book or game. Like you were from medieval times. the teen actually chuckled, smiling as he turned to face Brand again and slightly blushing with his hand on the other males chest still. The skin was very warm, despite this fire being gone, and it was smooth to the touch. Muscles rippled under his palm, even just from normal patterns of breathing. It was obvious that Brand was an impressive boy for his age back from wherever he came from, and no doubt he would be here.

Brand didn't understand how he might seem to be from a game, and he didn't know what medieval times were, but he had seen books and a herald had even taught him to read. A book? Brand asked. It may be so. The king once ordered that the tomes of the royal library be searched for mention of something like me. He hoped to better understand my gifts, but I do not think he ever found another like me. Brand really liked the way the other teen's hand felt on his skin, but he wondered if he had accidentally forced Noah to keep his hand on his body. Brand let go to see what Noah would do. You say I came from that little shard of crystal? Brand could see that it looked like a broken piece of something larger. Do you know where it came from, Lor... Noah? Brand felt so drawn to the redhead. He had never felt so attracted to somebody. Brand didn't know of the mystic link forged by Noah's blood. He only knew that he wanted to touch the other youth back and feel his bare skin under his hands. Brand sat the now cool letter opener on the table and reached up to set his hand Noah's shoulder. Are there more pieces? Maybe my fire is in them?

He watched as the other blonde appeared to have been thinking about whatever he was thinking about. This guy was really weird. He realized that even though there was a slim possibility that Brand really was some mystical being like he had dreamed of meeting when he was a kid, Noah was really buying into this stuff. The spark of amazement was back, reminding him of when he use to firmly believe that there was or use to be magic out there. Noah even believed for a moment that Brand was some heroic figure that had been betrayed by those he had trusted the most, and now he was on a journey to recover his lostheat? Whoa, Noah, what are you think? Is that evenlogical? he pondered, glancing down at Brands chest, where his hand was still resting. Blushing slightly at that, he gently pulled his hand back and placed it on his lap. Uh, sorry the redhead muttered, glancing anywhere but the blonde yet finding that it was hard to ignore the hand on his shoulder. Flesh that emitted so much heat and warmth seemed to mold against his shoulder and he actually thought it would have been painful for Brand to move his hand away form him. More? But youre so warm already he found himself muttering, before realizing what he said and clearing his throat. I mean, well. This old man sold it to me. The market is still open for another few hours the teen glanced up at the clock and saw that it was only four thirty in the afternoon. The market would close at eight oclock, so they still had plenty of time. Would you like to go see him? Maybe he has the answers to what yourelooking for? Noah felt a bit silly stating that, but it was true. That place that Brand had mentioned was something that the old man had mentioned as well. Standing up, he felt a strange sort of chill take over him when he suddenly broke free of the others grasp. Brands hand on him felt like it was his source of heat, so when he lost that source, the redhead felt strangely cold without it. But that was ridiculous, wasnt it? Shaking that off of his mind, he moved over to the fallen crystal and grabbed for it. Umdo you want to borrow a jacket or something? I think I have one I can lend for you that might fit. he muttered, placing the necklace on as he moved towards the closet. There were a lot of jackets that were probably too small for a male that was that buff, so he grabbed for one of his older ones, before he had lost a few pounds due to exercise. This should do he mentally nodded, before turning around to hand this to Brand.

Brand sighed softly with a feeling of loss when Noah took his hand away. The blond didn't quite know why, but he knew he longed to stay in contact with Noah. Brand wondered if it was just attraction, but he had been attracted to others before, and he'd never felt such a need for contact. Sorry? But why? Brand said with a confused frown as he sat up, leaving his hand on Noah's shoulder. He still felt weak, but somehow, being able to touch Noah, even through the annoying barrier of his shirt, made Brand feel better. You haven't done anything to wrong me. Brand almost groaned from the feeling of loss when Noah pulled away from his hand. When Noah mentioned how warm he was, Brand's face took an expression of grief. The fire inside my heart is a part of me. There were times I wished I didn't have it, so I could be like the others, but I never knew how empty I would feel. Then, Noah spoke of the man he had bought the necklace from and Brand felt a surge of hope. Yes, please take me to this merchant. Brand stood and reached into one of his pockets. He hadn't expected to need money when he went to work at the forge that night, but he had a few coins, three of silver and two of gold. Will he accept coin or does he only barter? Brand asked, remembering how Noah had said he traded eight deer for the necklace. I have very little though. Brand looked at the offered jacket with wonder. He had never seen material like the garment was made of, and the inside soft like silk. Such a wondrous garment is fit for a king, not a commoner like me, Brand said. Are you sure you want me to wear it, Noah? he asked, remembering to not call the other teen 'my lord'. Brand ached to reach out and touch Noah, but he fought against the feeling. He didn't want to offend the unusual noble.

The teen raised an eyebrow at Brand and then looked at the jacket he was holding. Ehwhat? Its fake silkI mean, I think its fake. This thing was only sixteen bucks when I got it and its usually like, twenty-five or so. Noah shrugged, shoving the jacket into the blondes hands. Put it on, we better go before they clothes. He quickly moved towards the door where he slipped on his sneakers, before seeing how strangely lost this guy was. For a magical being, Brand was certainly one strange person. If he saw magic during his time, then why was he so amazed at what was around him? Just flickers of things that could potentially pretend to be magical, but werent really. He rolled his blue eyes and stepped back towards Brand, before grasping the other teens hand. He aided the other male by placing the jacket fit for a king onto the blonde, zipped it up like a mother tending to a child, before grasping the edge of the sleeve and dragged the other teen outside. It was already five by the time they got out of the house. By Noahs clock, that was at least 25 minutes longer than it should have taken. With just a few hours left of the market being opened, he walked in brisk strides towards its direction. He lived in a fairly close area to the citys inner area, so it was only going to take a good thirty minute walk. While they traveled, he just kept his fingers gripped at the sleeve. It was as if he was afraid Brand would run off at any spark of distraction and cause him to chase after him. In a sense, the redhead was excited that Brand had entered his life, because a small part of him really wanted this to be real. The small part of wishing that he was right, that there was magic in the world, was jumping in joy at just the thought that the blonde was truly magical. Soum he realized that they had been walking in absolute silence. What did you say you did? Back at your umhome? Noah tried to picture what Brands world must have been like. He was so into the whole magical being idea that he didnt even think of the possibility that it wasnt real at the moment.

Brand was surprised when Noah put the jacket on him like a noble's valet and closed the front with a sort of fastener like Brand had never seen before. He stuffed his coins in one of the roomy jacket pockets just as Noah grabbed his wrist and led the blond youth out of the house. Brand had never been led around by the hand, even as a small child, but where he might normally be offended, it felt to wonderful to be in contact with Noah to complain. Instead, Brand moved to take Noah's hand, sighing softly at how much better it felt to be in skin to skin contact again. The blond teen had planned to examine the fastener of the jacket, but then he saw the land outside of Noah's home. It was clear that they were in a city of some sort, but not like any Brand had ever seen. The streets were wide and paved with some material Brand didn't recognize. There were concrete walkways that must have cost a fortune in labor and materials to make. The gutters were clean and there was no stench of rotten garbage and bodily wastes. In the streets there were metal wagons that were propelled by some unseen force. Most of the people Brand saw were dressed in rich garments like Noah, though he saw a few youths who wore ragged trousers, and rode on wheeled boards. Two were bare to the waist, making Brand think they must be commoners. One of them had tattoos on his arms of a sort Brand didn't recognize and bits of metal pierced through his nipples. Brand wondered about their mystical purpose. Then, Noah asked Brand about his work. I am a smith, Brand said. I work metal and fashion things for my king and his household. My fire helps me to make these things, especially arms and armor for my king's army. I also make small things, like jewelery when King Wolfgar bids me to so, or when I am allowed to take a commission for pay. Brand smiled at Noah. It felt so good to be holding his hand. You are a scholar at this high school? Do you study magic there?
