The Mirror Looks At Itself, Not Others...

"UNDER MY COAT IS A WEARY HEART, BUT A KIND ONE---ONE THAT WOULD DO NOBODY ANY HARM"

This was written by a top criminal in a letter, a criminal that was classified as the Cop Killer, a very dangerous criminal that WILL kill at the drop of a feather, and his name was "Two Gun Crowley". Probably because he used dual guns as his primary weapon. Like the one in Counter Strike where you could buy it with $1000 cash money.

Yes, this top criminal WILL kill. Maybe it was his hobby. I'm just guessing. LOL. Let me fill you in with a story about this criminal.

One night, he was having a necking party on a country road with his girlfriend (even criminals have girlfriends). If you were wondering how they partied on the road, I was too. They were actually partying in a CAR. SO, a policeman came by and said "Your license, please?" Crowley was silent. He drew his gun out and gave the policeman a shower of lead. That's so generous of him. LOL. The policeman fell down (well, of course) and Crowley came out of his car. Crowley took the policeman's rifle and tested it out on the owner itself. Murder. A murder without reason. Criminal? Crowley.

SO, let's backtrack to the sentence that Crowley wrote in a letter of his. It was written before he was caught red handed by the police. Can you believe what he wrote? He actually had a kind heart? He would do nobody any harm? Can you believe that crap?? Nonsense. He killed without hesitation, and without reason. Yes, although he was a serious bad-ass, he didn't blame himself for it. He was 100% sure he wasn't at any fault. Can you believe such a human exists??

Yes, such a human does exist.

And you are one of them. (LOL. Just kidding) =D


* * *


Have you ever experienced a time when you were in a serious mess, (meaning you and your friends did some trouble and your teacher scolded you guys for it =D) and when the teacher asked you who was the one who did it, you pointed your finger to the friend on your left, and your friend on your left pointed to the one on the left, and continuously until the unlucky fellow on the left end? Ever experienced that? If you have (I can tell that you have, so no use lying), that means your just like this Crowley guy. The only difference is you don't know how to use a gun. LOL. Blaming others for their own doing. That's what humans are. We are never at fault, but it is always someone else at fault.

Not only regular citizens like to blame others, even political leaders love it. Yes, it's fun, because you are never wrong. You are forever right, no matter what you do.

So, do you think this is a good quality for a human to have?

Maybe some people will say "Of course!" because they are actually doing it, and benefiting from it while others despair.

Well, it's NOT a good quality for a human being to have.

Here's a good tip for us people who just love social websites :

Before posting something, think about a few things first, like "Will this post hurt anyone?", "Is this really relevant to be posted?", "Won't this post just make me look immature?" or " Am I posting this because of anger towards someone?"

Okay, let me get this straight. Posting on anger is something so very immature.

Sometimes I see posts like "Nape la org ni x matang2? Ak bengang btol. Asek ak je yg na kne jage ati die. Die tu lgsg ta jge ati ak. Ingat ak ni robot ke? Gi mampos la ko!"

Well, I don't want to LOL, but this is VERY funny. Saying other people aren't immature, but they also are immature. To post something like that. Sigh. No comment.

If you actually WANT to show your immatureness, go ahead and post something like that.

If you actually WANT to release your anger into words and show your immatureness, go ahead.

If you actually WANT to hurt someone in your post, I can't stop you.

This post(wow, it's actually a post too) of mine is my opinion on human relationship. Not that girlfriend boyfriend relationship (Well, I'd love to have a girlfriend. LOL), but it's more to how to be cool with anyone you meet.

Continue, before commenting or posting, think first. Is it really that guy's fault? Or is it mine? There's always a probability that we are at fault, instead of someone else, even though we think it is that someone else's fault.

This is just what I'd like to share. I'm not saying I'm perfect. Even I might post immature and irrelevant stuff. I'm a human after all. Even I might blame others. I'm a human.

Did you actually think we would arrive at Trallyn after crossing the Calm Plains? Well, if you did, you're 100% wrong.

"Where are we, Gunter?" I asked.

"We are in a fisherman town called Wetfish" Gunter replied.

"Well, that's a fishy name for a town," Arawin said.

"So, what are we supposed to do here?" I asked.

Gunter readjusted his glasses."You never listen to what I say. I've already told you we are gonna hitch a boat ride from here to Trallyn. You can't simply get to Trallyn by land. It'll take you weeks, maybe months to get there. I'll try to get a ride for us while you two find an inn for us to stay for the night. I'm guessing the earliest we could get a ride is tomorrow. So, prepare anything for the journey ahead," Arawin and I nodded. Gunter went ahead and disappeared in the crowd. Arawin and I stared at each other for a few seconds, and I started the conversation.

"So, where the heck is the inn?" I asked.

"I don't know. Never been to this place," Arawin answered.

"I know! Let's find a building that says 'inn'. I'm sure that's where the inn is," I suggested.

"Let's," he beamed.

We walked into the crowd. It was a very busy town. I guess this place is like 'if you don't work, you don't eat'. Must be tough. Well, it's the reality of life. You can't simply do nothing and gain everything. Everything has it's price. But, what am I doing? Pursuing someone from the past? Is this the right thing to do? Maybe I should just settle down and have a kid or two. Have a normal life. No need to hold a weapon. No need for violence. No need for killing. Could that be better?

"Hey! Juss! Daydreaming again? Man, You're always like this. Seriously, I don't have a clue what's going on in that head of yours," Gunter exclaimed.

"Sorry. I was just thinking. Oh! There's the inn. Let's go," I said.

As I was just gonna open the inn doors, someone familiar whizzed past me. I glanced back quickly. It was her. The one I saw at Drewood(the previous town). What? This can't be. Is it really her?

"Sorry, Arawin. You settle the stuff at the inn. I have something else to do," I beamed.

I chased after her. She was quite far in the crowd. I wasn't 100% sure it was her, but I had this feeling that it was her. I need to know who she is. I continued following her, bumping into townsfolk in the process."Hey!","Watch it!" and "Are you blind?!" were the words I happily received while chasing this girl. I don't know why I'm doing this. She passed the central square and straight to the shopping district. Shopping? A modern girls hobby. So predictable. Unfortunately, as I arrived at the shopping district, she was already gone. Damn it. Wasting my precious time like this. But, I decided not to give up. I asked the townsfolk if they saw a cute girl wearing a white robe. Some people saw her, and gave the directions, but I'm guessing she already went somewhere else, because I couldn't find her anywhere. Oh well. It's just not my luck. So, I backtracked to the inn, disappointed.

"Why the long face, Juss? Clashed with your girlfriend? Haha," Arawin joked.

"Yeah, something like that. I'm gonna hit the deck. G'night," I exclaimed.

"Oh, yeah. Okay then. Night,"

Finally, a long night sleep. I don't remember the last time I slept on a bed. I hope nobody interrupts my sleep. Then, I felt a sudden shake. Someone is shaking me.

"Juss, wake up! Something's not right. Gunter hasn't arrived yet. Something must have happened to him. I just feel it," Arawin said with a tremble.

"You're just imagining things. Don't interrupt my sleep. I hate it," I replied.

Shockingly, he didn't talk me back. Everything was quiet again. Now to have a good night sleep. I opened my eyes, and Arawin was gone. What the---? What's happening? I sense something bad happening. This can't be. I jumped from bed and fetched my katana.

"This is gonna be a long night," I muttered, and went out through the windows.

Atarashii Sutato (Chapter 5)

This is a continuation from the previous chapters. Sorry that this chapter was delayed for to0 long. I just wasnt in the mo0d for it. If your a newcomer, u can check the previous chapters in this blog o'mines. So good luck reading and plz comment(honestly, comments get me fired up to write more and more..hehe) =p


Continue...


As I landed on the ground, I immediately took my stance. The ground was shaking badly, but there was no sign of any monster or beast or whatever is stalking us(meaning me, Gunter and Arawin). I took a three-sixty glance around me, but still there was nothing. Maybe in terms of education, I lack. But in terms of battle, I can get an A+ anytime. Ground? Shaking? It's so obvious. It must be underneath me. I waited long enough to sense the direction of the beast. It was doing circles around me. I bet he(referring to the beast) is just waiting for me to take the first move. But I'm no fool. Suddenly, his direction was headed towards me. I waited until he was right beneath me, and leaped to the side with all my strength."Heh," I giggled. This wasn't so hard to dodge. But, unfortunately, my luck just ran out.

The so-called beast DID come out from beneath me, but the problem was, it wasn't your normal car-sized beast. It was an over-sized monster truck sized(why the repetition?LOL =p) beast. The conclusion? I got hit by the beast's big body. I got thrown quite a few meters away than where I intended to land, but I managed to land on my feet.

"Woah!" I shouted.

It(the monster) had two long and sharp tusks tinted black. It looked like it could pierce through almost anything. If I was hit by that, well, I don't want to talk about it. It crawled on four of it's feet, but it could also stand on two feet. It's body was well built, like it's been doing push-ups, pull-ups, and all those other body building exercises for the rest of it's life. Ignore the six packs, it had TWELVE packs! On it's back, from the head until the tail, was something you could call hair dyed in red. For the face, it looked like an angry wolf. Something tells me if I didn't take it seriously, I could go to heaven early. Yes, it was the legendary Behemoth. A nasty creature that lurked under the plains of the Calm Plains. Seriously, why do people even call these plains the Calm Plains? I don't get it.

"RAAAARGHH!!" the Behemoth launched it's first attack, the classic, claw strike. I leaped up into the air, dodging it's first attack, but a second was coming right after that. Another claw strike with it's left hand, or feet, or whatever. I kicked into the air and leaped higher, successfully dodging it's second attack. I flipped in the air and kicked the air once again, darting straight towards the head of the beast. The beast opened it's mouth, revealing a blinding light within it. A blinding light? This couldn't be something good. Unexpectedly, it shot a fire blast from it's mouth. Wow! This beast's good!

"Surasshu o Maku.." I whispered. I launched a wide left to right slash, and an overwhelming wind force came out from my sword. The powerful force of wind rushed forward, clashing against the fire blast mano o mano. As the both elements clashed, the wind force sliced through the fire blast like it was just onion skin. The fire blast was cut into two and it dissipated into thin air.

"Raaaarghh..!!" the beast roared in hurt. Amazingly, the wind force flew straight to the beast's head and inflicted a direct hit. That's a touch down for me! Way to go, Juss!

"Heh.. Behemoth or not, nobody's gonna take me down." I muttered.

It's tusks were glowing. The Behemoth didn't just stay still waiting for my next assault, it unexpectedly gave me an all-out assault. It roared heavily, echoing vastly through the unending sky. It's roar was VERY ear-hurting, you know. I bet even Michael Jackson would stop moon-walking after hearing such a roar. Anyway, the beast went thrashing around without any battle strategies. Could it even make a battle strategy? It's a beast, so of course not. I simply dodged all of it's thrashing in a paper thin margin with a smile. After three of it's consecutive thrashes, I landed a clean slash to it's rear legs. The slash was clean but quite deep, because mere cuts won't give any effect to big monsters. I had to do it.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrr..." the beast groaned. Without it's rear legs, it couldn't gain balance of its body. It was done for. Goodbye, Behemoth.

Out of the blue, and I mean, from the sky, I saw a small stone heading towards us(me and Behemoth). Huh? Who's playing stone-throwing in this place? This is not a a place for kids playing stone-throwing. But, the stone was very suspicious. I think like I've seen it before in Final Fantasy 8. Uh-oh..

"Juss!! Don't just stand there!! Run!! It's a meteor!!" Arawin shouted from the jeep.

Now, I know why I've seen it before, and now I know why the beast's tusks were glowing. It was casting that spell. I should have known earlier. Well, it's too late for that. As I was about to run towards the jeep, the Behemoth successively grabbed me with it's claws. Damn it! I wasn't paying attention enough. This is all Arawin's fault, shouting all of a sudden. The small stone that was actually a meteor was coming closer and closer, getting bigger and bigger every second. I may be strong, but I can't take a meteor head on. That's crazy.

"Juss!! Hurry up!! Crimson Hound's waiting!! Don't take too long!!" Arawing beamed.

"Shut up! I know what I'm doing." I exclaimed. "Masamune, let's dance," I whispered.

Within seconds, my sword, Masamune, turned black and was covered with dark aura.

"Justin, you shouldn't be using that.." Gunter said.

In the blink of an eye, I was already free from the claws of the Behemoth, and my whole body was already stained...with blood. The Behemoth's hand that caught me was sliced into pieces. It didn't have a hand anymore. The hand was gone. Without hesitation, a bolted straight towards the jeep.
The meteor? I'm estimating it would land in a few seconds time. Gunter pressed on the gas and went full speed ahead. As the meteor landed, it caused a powerful BOOM in a wide radius. The Behemoth couldn't have survived that. The force emitted by the powerful crash of the meteor was far enough, it gave a slight shake to the jeep, but it barely hurt us.

"Justin, you shouldn't have used that technique," Gunter advised.

"Who cares. I'm the one fighting, not you," I replied.

"Hehe.. It's just like you, Justin,"

I stared aimlessly into the blue sky. The winds were blowing opposite of our direction. The sun was emitting hot rays towards us, like it was staring at us. What is this? Is this a sign? Is it telling us to go back? No way. I must be daydreaming. So, we continued our long journey towards the town where rain never stops, Trallyn.

Atarashii Sutato Characters : Justin

Somehow i thought of drawing the characters of my story. That wouldn't make the character too subjective in terms of appearance. So, the one ure seeing here is the main character, Justin. Yes, he's just ure ordinary swordsman. I made his hair like that coz i like that kind of hair. Seriously. I wish I had that kind of hair. LOL.. Please comment!! =D

Wait! Don't tell me. I know what you're thinking. You must be thinking about the girl I met(well, I didn't actually meet her) the other day, right? Well, tough luck. I don't know a clue about her thanks to my buddies. So, let's move on, shall we?

"Justin, be on your guard. You know it's not safe here." Arawin exclaimed.

"Uh-huh..? Yeah, I know.. We're in THAT place, right? No wonder it's so quiet." I said.

"Okay, guys. While I'm driving, and you both are watching, let me tell you what we're REALLY after." Gunter spouted. Gunter made that serious look on his face, again, and started talking. "I had some chat with the priests in the temple of the previous town. Those priests were wicked! Wow! And I thought only the naughty girls were cute, but the pure ones were totally on the next level! If only I could spend some time---OWWWIEE..WHAT WAS THAT FOR??" I knocked his head with the hilt of my katana.

"We're after the C.H, remember? Not the priests. Sigh..." I beamed. Gunter regained his composure and started talking, seriously this time. "Sorry guys. I got a little carried away by their beauty. Their cute puppy dog eyes. The smooth hair texture they had. The---HEY! TRYING TO KILL ME? ARE YOU??" I pointed the tip of my katana at his throat.

"Yeah, I am. Unless you stop that meaningless talk about 'cute priests' of yours." I claimed.

"Sheesh! Fine! I can't even talk about girls. So what are interested in? Boys? Are you gay? Hahaha.. Ehem.. Just kidding.. Sorry Juss(short for Justin)..Okay, I'll start the business meeting." Finally. He's starting. "The priests said something about a Divine Staff, a so-powerful staff that could like, uhh, destroy aaaa... Well, I don't know. But, it's seriously powerful. But, it's actual use is to open a seal created by the legendary Vivi(It's the name of a powerful black mage. Don't laugh). Nobody knows what that black mage sealed, but it must be something scary."

"So, what does it have to do with C.H?" I interrupted.

"Hold your horses, samurai. I'm getting to that part. So, the Crimson Hound actually met the cute and innocent priests before us and asked them about the Divine Staff. He didn't actually tell them why he wanted to know about the Divine Staff, but it's obvious that he's going after it. His intentions? No one knows. But, it's dangerous if we were going to just let that guy get hold of that staff."

"Wait a minute! Hold on! Gunter, I'm not interested in saving the world or humanity or anything like that. It's too naive. We're just three ordinary travelers from about billions of people. Why would Crimson Hound want to destroy the world, anyway? He lives in it. I just want to know where he is, and get even." I muttered.

"Hehehe.. That's just like you. I don't care too, though. So, he's heading to Trallyn to get more info on the Divine Staff. The priests said so, because that town's a mystical place. Always raining. Weird. Always wet. If you don't have an umbrella, you would be soaked each time you leaved house. The cute priests would also be wet and I'll be there to shelter them from the heavy rain and.." Gunter continued blabbering.

Yes. Finally, I'll be able to meet C.H and get even with him. The last time I crossed swords with him, was 5 years ago. I was still weak. I couldn't do anything. I was worthless. He didn't even break a sweat while I was just a step away from the doors of death. Damn it! Why was I so weak? I couldn't even protect the ones I loved. Mother. Father. I'm sorry. I'll avenge your deaths. I'll kill Crimson Hound for sure. Crimson Hound. The one who ruined my life. The one who ruined everything.

RRRAAAAAAARRRGGHHH...!!!!! Suddenly, our jeep experienced a great tremble. This is no ordinary tremor, this is something much greater.

"Uh-oh, Juss. Looks like you've got a guest." Gunter beamed.

"Hehe.." I smiled. I flashed out my katana and jumped out of the jeep.

"LETS PLAY, MASAMUNE..."

To be continued... How was this chapter? I'm hoping for comment to know whether its good or not. Thanx for reading! =D

"Justin?? Is that you??" the voice of an unknown person entered my ears from afar. I could sense it was just about 10 meters away. Is that far? Anyway, it sounded like a girl's voice, and if my intuition was correct, it sounded like a very cute girl's voice. Is this my lucky day? Get a life, Justin. There's no way a girl would ever fall for you. I turned to the direction where the voice came from, and I couldn't believe what I saw. She was a knockout. She wore a plain white robe, covering her body from top to bottom. She didn't wear any accessories except for a necklace that didn't even look expensive. I'm guessing it may be a memento of her mother or so. No make-up, no nothing. I'm guessing she didn't want to get any attention, because if she did, she would be Miss Universe by now. Hey, what would you do if a super cute girl just called out your name like she knew you since little? Isn't it obvious? Run straight into her arms!

"JUSTIN!! What have you done??!!" Arawin called. Ugh.. Why does it have to be now? Did I mention to you that I had another traveling partner named Arawin? Well, if I didn't, now I did. So no complaining. Arawin and Gunter each grabbed my arms and pulled me away from the scene. They dragged me to a corner behind a ramen shop(why does it have to be a ramen shop?) and started the Q&A(Questions and Answers) game. Hey! I have a date with a super cute girl can't you guys see?? Hey! Wait! Unfortunately, the girl turned and walked away with puppy dog eyes. Lady Luck, where are you when I need you?

"What did you just do??" a question from Gunter.

"Uhh---" an answer from me.

"Don't you realize the trouble you caused me??" a question from Arawin.

"Wait. It's not o---," what I managed to answer.

"You caused a riot and now we didn't even get any information on the Black Hound!" Gunter asked. Wait. Was that even a question? He broke the rule!

"Aaaargh..!!" I struggled and finally broke free from their clutches of evil. I leaped back and reached my blade. Gunter and Arawin took a few steps back. I darted straight towards Arawin and jumped into the air while doing a three-sixty vertical spin, and landed with a downward slash, directly targeting his skull. As I thought, this cheap trick wouldn't harm him. He took a sidestep to the right, dodging my slash entirely. I smiled.

"Heh.. Done showing-off?" Arawin blurted.

"Yeah, I'm done," I answered.

Gunter approached us and filled me in the details. I mean, the information they were able to require from that town involving the Crimson Hound. Sheeesh. Why didn't they say it earlier? First, they abandoned me in the bar. Second, they didn't even help me when I was surrounded by that angry mob. I saw them just standing a few meters away from the scene, drinking water while watching me get my butt kicked. Third, now they are blaming me for starting that huge ruckus. Are they really my friends?

"Okay, about the Crimson Hound, do you guys mind if I call him C.H. instead? It's a lot shorter and easier to say." Gunter spouted. Arawin and I just gave him a sigh. "Great! Okay now, bla bla bla bla.......," Sigh. Gunter talks too much. All I can hear is "Okay now" and "we have to bla bla bla...," After a few minutes talking, Gunter grabbed both Arawin's and mine's shoulders and said with a face full of excitement..

"Next stop, Trallyn : The Town of Everlasting Rain."

What do you think?Was this chapter okay?Comment and I'll see what I can do in the future..=)
