You don't have to blame yourself for something you didn't do...

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 28

That's...nothing you could have been responsible for! It's not your fault that those...evil monsters blew up your planet, it's THEIRS!

[ Vis sounded angry, though not at Magic. The anger was felt towards the ones that destroyed the planet. It just felt so...unnecessary. Needlessly cruel. ]

〝 It’s my fault because they…they were after me to begin with, they were looking for me and because they had no lead, they…they destroyed everything in their path.

And I failed to use my own power to save everyone… 〞

❪ The guilt hung over him like an overcast cloud. ❫

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 27

I'm sure it wasn't..! I mean...you don't seem like someone who would be responsible for that...

[ But then again, what did Vis know? He only just met this person...call it optimism. ]

❪ A small sigh, it happened so quickly. From being told to evacuate his own home to the whole planet and everyone in it being wiped from existence. It really hurt. ❫

〝 I’m…to put it bluntly, the last of my kind. I feel like it was my fault. 〞
⠀

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 27

T-the entire planet..?
I...I'm...sorry.

[ Vis was shocked. An entire planet being destroyed like that, it must be so...devastating. ]

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 27

|| this new job is likely gonna keep me busy up until later in the day. but it's fun. I think this suits me well.

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 27

R-right sir. I'll train as hard as I can!

[ He gives his uncle an optimistic thumbs up. This gives him more incentive to train harder and get better. In the event he does have to fight those monsters one day, he needs to be ready..! ]

〝 Well… 〞

❪ Turning off his tablet and fidgeting with the buttons, an apparent frown growing upon his face. ❫

❪ A small nod, turning back around the tablet and looking through a few more images before coming across his planet. Turning back around the tablet, showing Vis as he spoke up. ❫

〝 This is how my planet looked, it had a nice balance between nature and technology! 〞

❪ Past Tense… ❫

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 26

That's...a LOT.

[ Vis is having a hard time really comprehending the sheer size of everything. He's just blown away by the sheer scale of space. ]

Can you show me your planet?

❪ The screen seems to be see-through, so Magic was able to see what Vis was pointing at! He perked up, having a smile. ❫

〝 Oh! That’s a Galaxy. Galaxies are a system of millions or billions of stars, followed by gases and dust. They also house countless planets! 〞

[ Vis leans in, looking at the strange "slab" in front of him. His eyes glow up with wonder when he sees what's on it! ]

Woah! That's cool..!

[ Pointing at a galaxy. ]

What IS that..?

❪ Happily showing him a few pictures. ❫

Nice to meet you Magic!

[ His first alien encounter AND he made friends with it! This is off to a better start than he thought it'd go. ]

So, uh...I've never been to space before. Is it really pretty and sparkly and stuff out there?

〝 I understand why you’d be nervous. My name’s Magic, nice to meet you Vis! 〞

❪ Relieved and happy he’s believing his words! While aliens are indeed mysterious, he’d hate to leave the other guessing his intentions. ❫
⠀

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 25

That's a relief...I was kinda nervous for a second there.

[ Now that he's getting a good look at him, he doesn't look all that hostile...maybe the fact he was an alien was what spooked him. They're so mysterious. ]

My name's Vis.

[ ...Vis, upon hearing this, stepped out slowly from the tree. He didn't have his sword and shield on him, which made him a bit more defensive. ]

Are you from space..?

❪ And even if he were to be concealed, Magic would still know he’s there, funnily enough!

The little alien tilted his head, slowly making his way over as he spoke up. Not only did he look otherworldly, his voice had an interesting effect to it. ❫

〝 Oh, I don’t mean any harm. Honest! 〞

[ Once spotter, Vis quickly ducks further behind the tree...which proves ultimately useless due to the large point of his helmet. ]

[ He's never seen this sort of creature before. It looked like an alien...so he's just being a bit cautious. ]

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 25

I've always wanted to wear armor like this...

[ He runs a gloved hand down it, feeling the worn and torn metal. ]

But it's always been too heavy for me. My uncle looks so heroic wearing this kind of armor.

I just wish I can be as strong and brave as he is, someday...

' He turned to glance at the young knight glancing over at the armor in amazement, causing a low chuckle to sound from the anarchist. '

〝 Its, actually my first set of armor you're looking at. Had some rough years getting started in it. 〞' He stated, reminincing. '

VIS ORNITIER. @stalwartmagus.bsky.social · Aug 24

It's a nice home!

[ His eyes focus on the armor like a guided missile. Almost immediately he goes over to look it up and down... ]

Woah..! This armor is pretty cool!

[ Being a knight, or knight in training, rather, he focuses a lot on knight-like things. Armor, swords...you know. ]
