=The Start of Something New=

------------------------------------------

“Oh? What’s this?”

The lean teen bent over the flower, tapping the end of his pencil against his chin, he hummed, “Memoria subridens…never seen one out in the open like this before...” He quickly jotted down some notes in his notebook of the golden flower, before a shadow, that was not his own, enveloped the plant he was observing. The plant seemed to shrink down and reach for the light from his fiery head, not liking the darkness.

“Excuse me, sorry to bother, but this Memoria subridens doesn’t seem to like you blocking out the natural light, could you back up a bit? I really need to catalog this…”

“Oooh, soooorrrrry, I don’t want to hurt the “flowers” feelings pahaha!" A loud oinking laugh sounded, “Who are you talking to anyway all by your lonesome runt?”

“Oh, no one in particular,” Blank said, teetering on his heels, turning around to look at who cast the shadow, “just to whoever is willing to listen.”

“Hey look Wan Wan, the nerd is talking to a flower!” the stumpy boar like monster laughed, as a rather fluffy looking dog monster came up next to him. His tongue was lolling out of his mouth, and he had quite a derpy look on his face, “arf!” he responded, making the mohawked boar oink loudly again, “your right Wan Wan, he’s such a nerd!”

“Nerd?” the white fire monster blinked, he stood up to greet the two monsters, “what’s that?”

The dog and the boar looked at each other, before a sly smile crossed their faces.

“Arf arrrf!” Wan Wan answered. 

“Ooooh, thanks for the input.”

“Yeaaahhh!” The boar sounded, “Your suuuucccch an intellectual- maybe you can help me with my home work sometime?”

“Sure-“ Blank nodded, “what would you need help with-?“

“Reading,” he snorted, putting a hand over his mouth, Wan Wan handed the Boar a piece a paper with some writing on it, “Can you read this for me?”

“Hmmmm….Oh yeah, it says “I am a moron-“

The dog and boar howled in laughter, “He’s so gullible! Now, can you teach me how to talk to flowers as well?”

The two thought they were real funny, but Blank was just confused, not really understanding what was going on, “You see, they don’t actually talk? And I don’t understand what you mean by gullible-” Blank began, but he was cut off again by the Boar, “There is nothing interesting about a random yellow weed; they are all over this place!” The dog then shoved Blank to the ground in a swift motion and the boar ceased the chance to place a hoof down on the other monsters face, pressing him into the cold stone, “But since you think this one is so special, I think you can teach me how to speak its language. Now- If I remember correctly, you were talking to this flower just a minute ago, so go on, teach me how to speak flower-if you can't, well, we might just have to dust ya-"

“The only one that's gonna be dusted is you two."

“Arf? Huh?” The two delinquents said in unison, as another fiery figure stood before them on the cobblestone path.

“Arf?!”

“Yeah! Where in the hell did you come from?!”

The figure didn’t answer, and just kept advancing towards the pair, which made them uneasy, “Why aren’t you saying anything?! I asked you a question!”

“FWOOP!”

The Boar Monster was suddenly thrown back from what felt like a gust of sharp wind, making him land on him bum.”Uuuggghhh,” the Boar moaned. Wan Wan quickly went to his fallen companion’s side with his tail between his legs. “Arrrrffff…” He put two paws on his friend’s shoulders to help steady him, giving Blank the chance to sit himself up.

"We are all monsters here…all we have is each other,” the purple flamed teen finally said in a calm manner, at the two bullies, “so stop this brutish behavior and get out of here.”

Shaking his head to make the dizziness go away, the boar gawked at the unknown fire monster, “…Your kidding right?”

"Do we really need to result to "human" behavior?” Despite his calm demeanor, his hair told a different story. His purple flame sparked as white lightning like bolts danced around his head, “Hurting others is for them, not for us, so please, just go.”

”…..” The two monsters exchanged awkward glances at each other, clearly taken aback. Worst part was, he was right, and the other creatures knew it.

“Unless…you want to fight, then by all means, try to make me your punching bag.” The unknown monster raised an open palm to the bullies, “I have yet to try out my newest attack, and what you got was just a little breeze-“

“EEEEWWWWWWWWWWUUUUG,” The two exclaimed in unison, waving off the two flame monsters.

“No-no thanks! Actually, we have to go, right Wan Wan?”

“Arf, arf!” the other apologized, sweating buckets; he kept bowing quickly at Blank as a way to say sorry. “We won’t mess with you again, we promise!” the two then quickly hurried away, leaving the two boys behind.

“…Very interesting…” the white flame monster hummed, before a hand reached down to his level, to help him up.

"Are you alright?" The other spoke, helping him off the ground. The teen picked his notebook and pencil off the cold ground, and offered it back to him.

“Alright? Oh yes yes-thank you,“ the white fire monster seemed to be distracted as he quickly snatched his belongings back. He started circling the purple flamed teen with a hand on his chin, muttering to himself, “fascinating…very fascinating…”

“I saw them bullying you, and I just couldn’t stand by-and….what exactly are you doing?“

Blank had the other fire monsters arm in hand and outstretched. He did not look at his savior once in his face as he kept examining him, “Bullying? What’s that? And how did you dooo that?”

“Uhhhh, what?” a sweat drop rolled down the other teens face, “they were being mean to you, they had you pinned to the ground-!“

“Mean? Oh no, you got it all wrong, they were helping me!” Blank smiled, now making the other open his clenched fist and separate his fingers, examining his palm. He quickly let it fall back down to the purple fire monsters side, and now started patting his sides and zooming all about the astonished boy.

“Helping you?”

“Mmmhmmm yeah that’s correct.”

“Helping you.”

“That’s what I said.”

“By…smashing your face…into the pavement…”

“Eeeeyyyuuppp-you’re quite unique…what exactly are you? Can you show me the WOOOSH thing again?” He made a movement with his arms, as if he was flowing air.

“Now, hold it-would you-“ The purple teen was trying to pull back his other arm, clearly getting flustered from being touched so much, “stooppp-“ Finally getting his body back, the monster rubbed his head, for once, he actually felt worn out, as the white flamed boy started to write notes excitedly in his notebook. “It’s alright- I am done with the examination for now-but now, I have to ask you some routine questions.“

“…For now..?”

“Why are you so purple and glowly?”

“You can’t just go around asking a monster why he’s-“

“How old are you? What are you? How did you control the air like that? Can you-“

“Hey hey HEY!” Wait a second! Slow down-!” The teen said, exasperated. He then sighed in relief, as the white fire teen went silent, “first, before I tell you all of that, can I at least known your name first?”

The white fire monster stopped writing in his notebook, and looked at the other with a curious stare before speaking, “Blank, my name is Blank.”

“Well nice to meet you Blank,” the purple monster smiled, reaching out his hand,” I am Nova, nice to meet you.” Blank grabbed it, and instead of shaking it, went back to examining, trying to pull off his black finger less glove, which just made Nova’s eye brow start to twitch. ‘Is this kid for real? There is no way he can be-but he is! Gah, he’s different from the other monsters I have come across over the years…and how he’s with me, he is sure to start trouble with other monsters….and they may be worse than those bullies-“

“Now can we talk about you?” The voice broke Nova’s train of thought, “Oh, of course, as long as you tell me a few things about yourself as well-come, we can walk and talk about it, okay?”

“Hmmm…Alright!”

“Good…”

‘I guess I will just have to keep him out of that trouble…will I? Ah man, I hope I won’t regret this later…’

------------------------------------------

I haven't wrote a long story like this in a long time huh?

Oh look, Blank and Nova's first meeting! Thank you Ashley-Chan1 for helping me figure out what the heck was going on in this story! She basically did a short outline of what was to happen, I just wrote the details and stuff XD Hopefully, I got your characters personality right!

STORY TIME. The line "Oh, no one in particular,” Blank said, teetering on his heels, turning around to look at who cast the shadow, “just to whoever is willing to listen.” is actually a line I said one time, I was talking with a friend, before I turned around and saw she was not listening to me at all, and a random stranger who was in the same room asked me "who I was talking to." and duh nuh, added it, because I thought it would be something he would say Just a way to make it sound like we are not talking to ourselves~

I am very proud of this picture~ I have not really made a drawing with detailed gray scale colors like this one ^^ The perspective is a little awkkkwaarrrdddd but thats how I drew it and I couldn't figure out how to fix it sooo yeah

Both Nova and Blank I guess attend the same school~ Blank got Nova out of his usual routine, so he is the first monster he has ever really talked to!

NOTICE! Blank and Nova are NOT their final names! These characters are still in their early development stages, so the both of them do not have final names yet. Nova and Blank are just code names for them so we don't call them ???? and Flame Head
