Half life in world's end

As the sun begins to set,Sol slowly begins walking away from the air ship port his eyes trained on the latter in his hands,he began to wonder what exactly Basil wrote in it and why did he give it to him of all people

With a resign sigh,Sol entered a near by coffee shop and ordered a cup,he made his way to the end of the shop seating near a window as he retrieves the notebooks he had hidden in his coat,he looks at the first one that had belonged to the original Sol as memories of it began to flash then at the journal in which he taken from the cathedral

He opens it and a hill seemed to fill the entire shop coursing the workers to shiver and check the windows but to Sol it mattered non the less as he began reading

The Journal unlike other pieces of literature in this world was written in English,this coursed Sol to raise an invoice in confusion,"Of course they can all speak English so they won't have a problem reading it but why not write with there symbol based Alphabet unless...."he muttered to himself before trailing off into a whirlwind of thoughts

With the click of the door bell

young woman puts his coffee down and seats besides him her voice high pitched and strangely familiar with a eerie edge

"Are you enjoying your little read"

Sol in disbelief glares at the woman who is revealed to be Bombi

"How did you find me and way do you look like...."he said in a flat voice that belayed his curiosity and annoyances

Bombi now with Bob cut blonde hair,blue eyes and darker skin tone marely smiles at Sol then pinches his cheeks"won't you like to know but answer my question first who's Journal was that is it yours."her eyes sparkled with curiosity

"If it wasn't mine I won't have it."Sol tried responded his voice with a blunt indifference leaving room for questioning and before taking a sip from his coffee and then glancing at Bombi who marely gives him a toothy grin

"Is that it will I guess I'll give leave you with this it's a latter from a guy named Basil it says meet me by the market immediately and do not be late."she purred before taking a sip from Sol coffee

Sol blinking repeatly takes a moment to process this Basil give him a letter earlier today but now a second one appears soon after then without any hesitation he opens the first letter and reads it aloud but mostly to himself

Dear Mr Reinhardt

It as come to my attention that you have studying mysticism for some time now and in light of such I may as well need your assistance with a personal matter that as troubled me for some time,you will receive a second letter giving you the location which we will hold this meeting do not be late

From Basil Thanato

Sol closing that letter raises from his seat and grabs Bombi by the collar"your coming with me."he commanded leaving no room for Bombi to argue and also her protests to deaths ears as he leaves three silver coins on the table and walks out

Moments later

Bombi who was returned to her usual appearance carries Sol on her shoulders as sol reads the two letters with a lollipop in his mouth,he compared the two but finds no clear signs of distress or concern in Basil writing then he looks around to spot him bear the statue of a woman holding coiled by a massive serpent it's head resting in the palm of her head

Sol shouts to Bombi stop in which Bombi throws him into the ground and with a death stare glances at him

"I am never coming with you again I can't believe i had to carry gravel like yourself on my royal shoulders"she cocks her head to the side and huffs

Sol who as Dusted himself off pats her head coursing both of her fox ears to side on end as her eyes widen on surprise

"What does your personality change too but I'm glad to see your back to normal"he said bluntly with a hint of care behind his large mushroomy grin before walking towards Basil who's been silently observing

"You have became popular with the ladies Mr Reinhardt"basil coldly hissed before turning back to face the statue"this here is the statue devoted to the mother goddess of live,some had believed creation itself come from her while others believe she's a devil playing god to sow discord in the world of man."

Sol looking at the Statue marely sighs,he knows very well he doesn't understand anything Basil is speaking about but apart of him recognises the importance of this information

"What do you think Mr Reinhardt surely you have an opinion on such a matter after all you upbringing revolved around the teaches of the evangelist church did they not." Basil questioned his eyes glancing at his former student who seems lost in thought

"Let's get back to the matter at hand"sol coldly respond with a disinterested look in his eyes before locking eyes with Basil who lowers his glance

"I see,as for why I called you here I believe I have mystical powers myself"he stated with a small grimace before looking eyes with Sol once again awaiting his response

Sol chucking nervously with a small sweat rubbs the back of his neck before muttering "I always thought he were scary but even I didn't expect that"he spoke more to himself then to Basil before getting hit in the head by Bombi who growls

"Gravel your sure taking your sweet time"she hissed before glancing at Basil who rubs his chin in curiosity" you were accompanied by a fox spirit I did wonder how was she able to carry you with such ease a friend of yours I belief"

Sol inwardly huffing at the word friend,Bombi was more like a ring master"yes of course she is her name is Bombi"he said the words seeming forced

Bombi her hands glowing and sparking her eyes glowing a bright red as she bares her fangs at Basil and growls"just how can you see my true form, normal humans can't see mysticism or mystical creatures so just want are you."

Basil seeming unfazed not threatened by Bombi hostility marely adjusts his collar before introducing himself with a slight bow

"Good evening ma'am I am Basil Thanato and want I am exactly is why I had call mr Reinhardt here."as he slowly raised his head his eyes now like that of a serpent seemed to stare deep into Bombi soul sending shivers down her spine as the sparks disappear

Bombi her hair seeming to stand in end as she takes a frightened step back,Sol who's been watching the exchance gently holds Bombi back

"Don't worry his not going to eat his it's just he as this aura about him"he spoke as if talking about the weather, bombi blushing slightly at Sol touch side eyes him before huffing to the side

Basil seeming surprised by sol reaction allows a smile smile to grace his face before returning back to his stoicness

Sol seeing the shift in basil looks around as everything seems to freeze and a large serpent like fiend with multiple eyes and arms fly's through the air

Basil his eyes wide with bewilderment his body seeming to trembling at the straight of this creature as he locks eyes with the serpent and like a hammer to the skull he screams out in pain holding the side of his head

Sol looking down on him"what's the problem"he asks,his eyes never leaving the serpent,basil unable to formulate a proper sentence marely others one word voices

Bombi wasting no time throws flowing red cannon balls at the serpent as she tsks in annoyances as she thinks about the disadvantages they in

Bombi mystic techniques revolves around her ability to create and manipulate spheres of explosive energy then launch them at an opponent but without access to her battleship the force in which they are launched is greatly reduced resulting in an lack of power

Bombi Jumping from building to building avoiding the serpent gaping maw groans as she throws more and more exploding spheres at the serpent

"What's taking you so long gravel"she shout while looking at Sol who's seating Basil near a bench without any hesitation sol points at Bombi

Then with an animated voice shouts "will excuse me miss royal last time I checked I don't have any special magical powers"he then unsteaths his revolvers and aims for the serpent's eyes

With a loud click,blackish-red smoke is launched from the recovered as red runes appear on them ,Sol is sent flying back due to the force in which the bullets are fired and the fiend stunned by the attack as the bullets have pierced though it's skull coursing it to fall into a group of buildings

But the fiend quickly recovers and with a look of fierce determination in its remaining eyes it stares at Sol and Bombi

Sol wasting no time retrieves Basil from the bench and begins Running away followed by an equally bewildered Bombi but there was didn't seem right to the two

Sol was gasping for air,his breathing seemingly forced and heavy as he falls down dropping Basil,Bombi circling back behind,stands in front of them both as Sol grabbing her shoulder

"Move...aside...I'm going to shot it again"sol spoke in a strainer voice but with a fierce determination was evident in his eyes his glaze never leaving the fiend that's changing towards them

"What!?"Bombi shout before grabbing sol collar and shaking him back and forth"are you crazy one more shot of those things will kill you" she then growled

Sol marely removing her hand took a step forward almost stumbling to the ground

"So what if I die, I'm marely a foot soldier that's here to keep the real talent company so it doesn't matter if I die now or later so long as people like you survive"he told her his voice seeming to lack the slightest bit of fear

Bombi eyes widening in shock as the runs on her wrist began to glow and she felt a surge of energy coming from Sol then it stuck her,Sol was not ready to die not here of all places

Sol taking aim took on a wider stands placing his left leg three steps forward and his arms just above shoulder height before firing once more

This time he only suffered minor blachlash but the runs of the revolver from a dragon and the smoke become as if a demon as opened its mouth as the bullets now a bright red change towards the fiend

Bombi seeing that Sol aim is off forces all her magic power as she froms a flaming arrow that cracked and sparkled and launched it using her vary hands as a bow

The Tel attacks combine and Pierce through the fiend exercising the beast as both of them fall to the ground
