I had a mother and a father, like most children, but I wasn't at all close to either of them. They hardly ever got close to me and I didn't understand why. They did something, at the very least, which was providing me with a roof over my head and enough food to supplement me. But I didn't see them really as my parents, just people that came and went in my life just enough to make sure I was alive. My mother was actually an American and my father was Japanese, not that its important. The only use in that was that I am half and half, and lived in Japan. However, I didn't actually pick up the language much considering that I attended some strange school with all the other English-speaking children attended. I didn't make any friends there. As a matter of fact, I never had a single friend. Though, now I'm detouring from the real subject. I couldn't honestly say that I felt any sort of affection toward my parents, and they didn't give me any such thing. I wasn't concerned with it either, for some reason. I didn't feel like I was missing anything. Then in my younger teen days, I hadn't bothered to really keep track so I'm not positive on the time frame, they decided to disown me. I still have no true idea as to why. I lived in the care of some shelter/hospital thing then, the only place where they had pity and enough room to keep me and feed me. But that was all they did, the same little things my parents did just to make sure I didn't die off on them. From time to time, I would also see my parents checking in with my keepers to make sure I was still surviving. Something was very suspicious about it. They wouldn't actually talk to me. It was a few years after that, maybe a year or so ago from now, that I left Japan completely. I overheard that it was a request that my parent's made and they lied to get me sent away. I supposedly had relatives living in America that I would be able to stay with until I found my own grounds. I didn't actually have any such thing, at least not that I was aware of, but I complied with the secret request and ending up moving part away across the world. When I landed in America, I had very little to my name. I drifted from place to place, finding random one-day jobs here and there, staying in cheap motels or wherever else I could find. It wasn't much of a life, but I lacked much care about it. I had perhaps lived like that for a couple months before I met someone who was honestly very different from anyone else I had met. Most people ignored me, aside from the moments that one spoke to me for the fact they wanted some sort of work done for them. A young woman named Magion, my age actually, but keep your mind in check now. We're just friends. I thought, at first, that she just took pity on me, for she actually invited me to stay at her apartment. And, in that time, she helped me to find a permanent job. I thought that after that she would disown me as well, but she didn't. She allowed me to stay and was a friend to me, something I never had in my entire life. I didn't understand her at all, but I found that her compassion for people was utterly amazing. I'd never seen such a thing in my life. It was then, in the time that I grew very fond of her as a friend-sister type, that I discovered something horrible about myself. Anytime that I was near her after I felt that I honestly cared about her, an unexplainable pain would surge through my body. It was somewhat like an ache or a burn on the inside- like a flame was constantly licking my insides and caused sores that would forever pound in pain. The more compassion I felt, the worse the pain would get and I discovered that it happened no matter who I felt fond of. At one point, the pain was so excruciating that I collapsed from it. However, I don't allow this torture to stop me from being her friend, no matter how much pain it causes. And I still stay as Magion's roommate, to this day some months later. I currently work as a waiter at a pretty big restaurant in the city we live in. I hate my job, I'm not much of a people person, but I suffer and do it anyway. I couldn't allow my roommate to pay for everything, so its the very least I can do to help her out in whatever way I can. Aside from working the eight hour job during the day, I take college classes for eight hours at night as well. I'm currently taking the advanced classes of most of the basics while I figure out what my major is going to be during my next course selection. Am not exactly sure what I want to do for a living yet, as I'm barely just starting to understand and want to find the real concepts of life. Magion here, please don't tell Ark that I invaded this place. I came here to actually clarify some facts about him that he doesn't actually know about himself. And why I know, well its pretty complicated. Lets just say that I did my research. Now then, I'll start at why I actually took him under my wing. The fact of is, I just randomly saw him walking down the street and sensed something about him. I could feel a dark magic radiating from his body, the type that one usually admits when a curse has been cast over them. I naturally hold a great amount of compassion and I could tell the torture that the curse must have caused him. Upon meeting him, I learned a little about his situation and was determined to do what ever I could for him. So, I offered him a place to stay and all that. And all the while, I've been working on removing the curse that causes him so much physical pain. The details of the curse is that its supposed to stop him from loving. Anytime he feels any sort of affection or compassion, at any level, it causes him great pain. Even though he knows something is quite wrong with him, he doesn't actually know about the curse. I'm afraid that if he ever finds out about it, that he'll just give up in finding friends and everything else. Now, to explain what I know about his life. The reason that he is cursed goes back a few hundred years ago. I'm not positive about all the details, but it started with an old ancestor on his father's side of the family. His ancestor fell in love with a powerful sorceress from China, and she did the same in return. However, at one point, his ancestor betrayed the sorceress and ran off with another woman. The sorceress fell into shock at losing her beloved and eventually withered away. However, before this happened, she promised that she'd get back at him for betraying her. I'm not all sure how it happened, but she eventually came back to keep her promise. I believe she was reincarnated because of all the hate she held for him. The only problem was that she waited so long that the man had died long ago. This didn't satisfy her, so she did the next best thing she could do. She went after those in his bloodline, intending to get revenge by cursing the youngest male in the family. When Ark was just a few months old, she set the curse of love and pain upon him. His parents knew, but never told him. Instead they kept as far away from his as possible. It would have been likely that they wouldn't have taken care of him, keeping him alive, but the sorceress told them that if the cursed was ever to die, that they would suffer a much greater fate. But his parents were also very afraid that the curse would rub off on them, hence why they disowned him and eventually forced him to move across the world. Magion? What are you doing here? Oh me? Nothing at all...I just thought, eh, I'd come and say hi. Yes, that's it! So how are you, Ark? Magion... Yes? Just leave. - Friends? - Magion - Ah, well, what is there to really say about her? This Wocky can test my nerves now and again, but I wouldn't trade her off for anyone in the world. No, its not like that. I mean honestly people, is that all you can think about? She's like a very good friend to me, but I only like her in that sense. Despite the fact she is very very odd, she has the best heart of anyone I ever met; I don't think anyone can match up to her. She's also very happy-go-lucky. Even when things have fallen all around her, she tries her best not to give up and always brightens up anyone around her. If it wasn't for her, I have no idea where I would be now; probably lying in some ditch. Sweka - Hummm, this is my other roommate. He joined Magion and I pretty recently. Apparently, Magion was out working when she ran into this fellow. He saved her from the police, its a long story. It turns out that Sweka himself had no where to go, like me, he came from far off. But even farther, he's an alien. And Magion is too compassionate to turn people down, she invited him to stay with us so he claimed the couch. I don't mind him so much, we get along pretty well. He has trouble with a lot of Neopian things, being from a different planet and all. And I often help him and score in some hours of work at the restaurant with me. Heh. If he messes up, though, I'll get fired. But hey, what're friends for? Ribbith - Humph. Well, this guy gets on my nerves like no other. He's much too cocky for his own good. However, I suppose if you dig deep down enough he's got a good soul. He goes to school with Magion and Sweka, when he he goes as her body guard, and they met him there. He has a bit of a rough life that he hides, so they took him in as their friend. Sweka sort of acts like a brother to him, straightening him out some. He stops by the apartment a lot. We invite him to dinner and all that sort of stuff. Ailate - An acquaintance of mine. Actually, Ailate happens to be Magion's best friend from school. I personally don't know too much about him. He's pretty...emotional, though. I don't think he's so bad, just needs to open up his eyes a little more. He tends to miss some things that are right in front of his face. I see him pretty often, he's a common face in the strange group I've found myself in. If I get to know him more, perhaps I'll have more to say. Until then, I'll just go along with it. |
