Cherreads

Chapter 4 - Chapter 1-

(Kiro - Standing at a height of 5'11, sun darkened skin with scars etched in giving a tiger-like look, ragged messy black hairy, unkempt and down to the nape of his neck, black eyes showing his constants exhaustion. Muscles that gave a predator type look, matching the many scars carved into his skin.)

Walking in the heat, sweltering and far too hot for a day as dull as this. Dragging his legs through a path, a white t-shirt clinging to his frame from sweat and grime, black shorts and trainers to try cool himself down. he dredged through despite the heat, his car haiiid broken down a little while ago, so the plan was too walk to the nearest kingdom which luckily ended up being Kingdom in the West so getting a mechanic to take fix it would be easy...Damn, for such a high tech world they live in they don't have an easier solution then walking? Pathetic. he was closing in. cobblestone path beneath him crunching, ahead he could see a line of people who had also worked, a seperate queue for those in vehicles or all kinds. He stood behind a mother with a baby in hands...

"Damn...I seriously hate younger chilren...it wont shut up!" Is wat he thought, though obviously Kiro never say it outright because that's just cruel. But, the baby wouldn't stop crying out, he felt more bad for the mother that seemed to be stressing out and embarrassed. When a group of men, around five or six came marching round, clearly intoxicated, laughing and yelling between each other as if noon else was there or their ears couldn't quite work. They shoved in the way, past those who had lined up for a while...Kiro always had a struggle holding in his anger or impulse. So much so he'd been arrested on multiple occasions for things like, Domestic violence and assault. Kiro tried as hard as he could but thought and control are more different than actions. and just as he was about to knock one of them out a women yelled out.

"OI! Get to the back of the line." Kiro looked over, she had dyed blue hair down to her shoulders, a fit athletic body, and a sort off addicting purple eyes that seemed to never let you look away. One of the men whistled, he as tall, blonde, muscly and ragged. 

"wooh! Hey pretty lady, wanna come with my group?" They all collectively laughed between each other. What assholes.

"Mmm, sadly your way not my type, maybe if you had a pair of breasts and was a girl I'd accept but you don't so fuck off, yeah?" That seemed to upset the mans shallow confidence. 

"Don't think we will, god if you had said you were one of those gays I would've burnt you (His magic affiliation was presumably fire.)" His little friend group seemed to try make him feel better by laughing at such a disgusting joke. Though the women clearly able to hold herself held her hand out and crushed his head with a large rock she had summoned, not enough to kill him but enough to make him dazed. 

Crashhhhhh

"Tsk." All the mans friends freaked out and tried to attack her, but Kiro grabbed one of their collars and shoved him to the ground, and seen as he was...looking pretty intimidating at the time and...possibly hurt him quite a lot when he crashed to the ground the men all reluctantly headed to their spot at the back off the line, and the queue had grown so they were much more further back than they would've been if they'd just lined up properly. The blue haired woman laughed, nudging Kiro's arm with her elbow, which seemed to piss him off but he didn't do anything.

"Hey! That was sick!" laughing, she got more in his space. he moved away slightly though she didn't seem to care.

"I'm Mikae, you?" When Kiro didn't answer she took it upon herself to rummage for Kiro's ID.

"Hey-"

"Kiro, huh? Nice name. What you here for?" Mikae handed back the ID.

"No reason...just felt like I had too."

"Why you walking?"

"Fuck...You ask so many damn questions...My car broke down a while ago so I had to move the rest on foot. You?" He watched Mikae nod along before thinking.

"Well, I didn't drive cause I wanted to see if there were any hot women walking I could admire." She smirked. 

"And there were if you're wondering. PFFT!- You're face is heating up!" She was right, Kiro could feel his face getting red, he just walked further into the line. He was nearing the front, Mikae just trailed behind she'd stopped talking but solely because she was flirting with the mother infront with the baby. She'd pushed infront of Kiro but if it meant she would stop talking to him he was fine with it. It soon became his turn,

"ID and passport. Bag off, then step forward into this machine for me please and thank you." The man there never looked up, taking Kiro's ID and passport to inspect it and input it into a laptop, he took Kiro's bag and placed it onto a conveyor for a different machine ahead to inspect. He stepped into the large enclosed high tech gear.

Beep Beep Beeeeeeeeeeep 

Face and eye scanning complete.

Tracker implanted.

No weapons identified.

No dangerous intent.

Free to pass.

"Okay, step out the other end." Kiro listened, his bag had already been inspected ahead. He was free to step through the gates into the Kingdom now. Now, just to figure out why he felt so inclined to come here, it was as if a rope was tugging on him showing him someplace to go, though it was always changing and travelling. It stopped moving for one, and Kiro was in the same country...now just to follow it, though as much as he felt obligated to follow. A different sense of dread followed whenever he seemed to get closer. Time to find out what it is.
