[b]The odd run-in[/b]
Zane would exit from the massive arena mid-day. He was tired, hungry and completely exhausted despite the fact that he had only really been sitting in a chair when he fought Bedlam.
However....he soon would find that he wouldn’t be getting the break he sought so much right now.
A young, ashen haired girl was running in front of the arena, yelling someone’s name. She was sweating, even in the cold Celtic air. She was a metre away from Zane before she put her hands on her knees, panting with heavy breaths.
“Agh...where...did...she go?!” The girl would yell. Zane would then see that this was none other then Lilly Coldbourne, the youngest and one of the only members of the Coldbourne Family.
[spoiler]for Zane![/spoiler]
English
-
"Holy shit, that really you Lilly?" Zane exclaimed as he walked over to his brothers little sister. He hadn't seen her since the funeral of his best friend and comrade in arms, Alex Coldborn. Otherwise known as the fierce deity.
-
Lilly suddenly stood straight and looked at Zane wide eyed. Then, she squinted, before going wide eyed again. “O-oh!!! H-hey...Zane!” Lilly would greet him. “Where...where did you come from?”
-
Edited by Zane the 3rd: 12/20/2017 4:02:02 AM[i]He motioned to the arena behind him, then let out a sigh. It seemed he was quite exhausted, and he had quite a headache.[/i] "Just leaving the arena. Was trying to defend my championship tittle but a guy named Bedlam got the best of me. But hey, bright side is I made it all the way to the semi finals without having my powers of fate."
-
“Well...that’s still really good! I mean most people don’t make it to the semi-finals anyways so....gold star?” She would say jokingly, shrugging by raising her hands up to the air. However Lilly seemed...awfully distracted. She seemed to be glancing around the area, looking for something.
-
"Lilly, you seem a bit more skittish then usual. What's wrong, you seem like your looking for somebody? Is Cain missing"
-
“Huh? No. Well...maybe. But he’s not who I’m thinking about right n-now! There’s this girl...I think she’s like...twelve. Anyways I was walking around and her dad asked me if I could look after her while he got food. I agreed but then...she was gone! Like...seriously! [i]poof![/i] vanished!”
-
[i]Zane chuckled, not because he found Lily's predicament funny, but because his own kids pulled the same disappearing act when they were younger.[/i] "Lily, take a breath and try to relax. Il help you look for her, what's she look like?"
-
Lilly’s eyes lit up as Zane offered his help. “R-really?! I mean...thanks!” She composed herself quickly. “Well, she’s small. Like maybe four feet tall. She’s got some long black curly hair, and wears this purple robe outfit. Her dad wore it as well.”
-
[i]Zane raised his eyebrows when lily mentioned the clothing, the description sounding very similar to the cult he shut down a few months ago.[/i] "Um, she wouldn't be a part of the cult of majora would she?"
-
“Huh? The tokage?” Lilly asked, to herself and Zane. She put her pointer finger to her chin. “Huh...I guess they do dress the same. Y’know, you would think being taken hostage by them would make me assume they were apart of the same people but...hey, whatcha gunna d-do, right? It would explain how she got away so easily....”
-
"Ehhh, they really don't like me. Pretty sure they they want me dead....Kinda killed their God."
-
“Ya but like, so did Alex! And apparently their leader got involved with Diana when she was around!” Lilly said, Diana being her eldest sister, who was killed by Cannon if Zane could recall. “But then again...maybe they didn’t know that she was his sister...whelp! Either way! Gotta find her!”
-
"Eh let's hope that they don't attack me on sight then huh? Where should I start my search?"
-
“WE’RE going to start with the yeast district! Considering she was hungry I’d imagine she would’ve gone over there.” Lilly explained, pointing ahead to a colourful street west of the arena.
-
"There's a whole district dedicated just to bread....You've got to be kidding me...."
-
Edited by Inflatablepants: 12/20/2017 4:42:57 AM“Hmm? Oh, no. It’s like a massive food district. Lots of beef, pork, fruits along with probably a hundred different types of berries and...ya. Lots of bread too though!”
-
[i]Zane stomach chose that time to let out a large growl. Looked like VR fighting took a lot out of the retired Veteran, and it probably didn't help that they got no breaks In Between fights. He haven't eaten in hours, maybe days.[/i] "Well, I hope you don't mind that I grab some food while we search."
-
“Hey, y-you do you, man!” Lilly told Zane with a grin before leading the way. “Alright! Let’s go!”
-
Edited by Zane the 3rd: 12/20/2017 5:31:09 AM[i]Zabe followed behind the ashen haired girl, his eyes immediately locking onto a hunk of meat and his stomach growled again. He walked up to the stand and stared at the different types of food.[/i] "Oh god, so many choices...."
-
“STEP RIGHT UP! THE ANNUAL 2017 HAAKON EATING CONTEST IS STARTING AND WE’RE DOWN ONE PARTICIPANT!” Suddenly a Celtic voice would yell. As Zane looked ahead to his right he saw a long table filled to the brim with slices of steak, and the aroma from them was nigh intoxicating. A large man stood by the table, yelling for a participant, while there was a...massive...abomination....at the long table already. The man was probably 500 pounds, had three rolls of fat on his neck and his arms could only move around like a giant baby’s.
-
"Holy shit....I wonder how he wipes his ass?" [i]Zane chuckled as he walked over to the long table, raising his arm to get the leaders attention.[/i] "I would love to take part in this contest!"
-
Lilly would immediately move to the front of the crowd as Zane approached the table, giggling as he did so. The announcer looked to him, his large beer belly falling over his belt. “Har Har! Excellent! Take a seat opposite from Big Brutus then!” He told Zane, gesturing to the seat beside him. The fat man looked at Zane with sweaty eyes...his lips were pursed like a squished marshmallow and his blond hair seemed to be having a hard time growing with all the fat that was on his head. “Youuuuu. Once I’m done eating these like it was my Sunday lunch, I’mma show you the power of a Celtic eater! HYAAA!” Brutus taunted....horribly.
-
[i]Zane chuckled as he took his seat, setting his weapons aside.[/i] "Ha, il show you not to underestimate the nightingale clan!"
-
“Alright there folks...let’s begin this food eating massacre in 3! 2! 1....EAT!!!” Brutus immediately grabbed two T-Bone steaks from the one hundred that were on his side of the table, and took a massive bite out of them simultaneously. His little marshmallow mouth seemed to unhinge like a snake upon doing so.
-
[i]Zane ignored his morbidly obese foe, instead grabbing two legs of mutton and devouring them almost instantly. He hadn't eaten since the tournament began, so his stomach was quite empty. He continues to devour the food with ease, his stomach quite possibly a black hole.[/i]
