Haze & Chaos - Retaliation Part 6

Previous | First | Next Master Post - Patreon February 23, 2025      Will was hoping time would drag on for him leading up to the week of the first hearing. Preparing for the case was stressful, and receiving letters that detailed what he had to do was dread-inducing given that his team had to interact with Laurence’s as per standard protocol for civil cases. As if to pull the rug out from under Will’s feet, February 23rd had arrived in no time at all. On the other hand, Will was kind of glad that the preparation went smoothly and quickly given that he did not want this matter taking months of his life–he would have just gone and hunted down Laurence if that was the case. Thankfully there seemed to be no sign of danger, allowing Antonio to drive Will and Sam to New York City. Jackson had offered to drive the two, but Antonio insisted as memories from his past life had enthralled him in a grip of inescapable nostalgia.      Starting the day prior, the tr...

Haze & Chaos - Retaliation Part 5

Previous | First | Next Master Post - Patreon      “Why are you guys acting so weird?” Will questioned, glancing around the room. Anton was facepalming, Abraham had a displeased look on his face as he stared blankly to avoid Will’s eyes, and Caelan had an expression that looked like a boss who did not know how to break it to his employee. Quincy elected to remain silent and kept his face buried in his magazine. “Guys, you’re creeping me out…” And then there was the knock at the door.      Anton sighed and shook his head. “Come on in…” He then quickly put his people-face back on.      “Hey, everyone…” a boy’s voice that sounded weirdly close to Will’s said as the door creaked open. The boy in question was strange, and even then that did not fully capture the weird feeling he gave off. His lavender-colored body was sleek, futuristic with segmented and glowing parts, and he looked incredibly fit. Embedded in his chest was an apparently-fle...

Haze & Chaos - Retaliation Part 4

Previous | First | Next Master Post - Patreon      Anton’s office was a cozy, regal-yet modest room that was quite large–and it immediately invoked the idea of someone who was out to learn all that he could to prepare for something he foresaw on the horizon. The top quality carpets were a royal red, the rich brown wood walls were lined with walnut bookshelves and lit with warm lighting, and there was a smell of subtle mustiness combined with a sweet smell from the vast collections of books. The room was also just the right temperature to be warm, but not too warm. Will felt like pulling a book off the shelf and sitting down to read it, but unfortunately all of them had legal matters to discuss. Two men were in the office, consisting of one who was not immediately in view upon entering, and another who seemed quite approachable. Sure, he seemed on the cusp of being elderly and his brown hair was receding, but something about him said that he was still full of energy an...

Haze & Chaos - Retaliation Part 3

Previous | First | Next Master Post - Patreon      Will, Antares, and Quincy meandered around a bit in the upstairs lobby, checking out the paintings and sculptures on display while occasionally catching glimpses of the beautiful snow underneath the brilliant sky outside. Stroking his chin with his stubble scratching his fingers, Will noticed a majestic painting that was clearly set in the northern Roaring Mountains. “That’s Castle Akasterr, no two ways about it…”      This made Quincy stop and walk over, as the painting in question was one of his favorites. “What do you mean by that, Will? Castle what?”      “Castle Akasterr, in the fallen kingdom of Feuerland–Infinity and Ermenrich told me about it while I was in The Unlight. A lot of these paintings feel like moments from the Epoch… also speaking of Professor Denzell, did you guys know he’s a primordial?”      Quincy looked utterly confused, but Antares nodded. “He kn...
