A Fallen Foe

Hello, hello, hello my dear~ I am Varg Norden, but please just call me Varg. Oh you've never heard of me? Hehe well, not many have.

Zaniel shot the crazy boy with a bitter smile, still following him. “Ah, but who says I don’t enjoy life~? Life is great. My books are great. HOME sounds great right now. So,” Zaniel held out his hand, “I won’t ask again! And I know a boxer who will surely kick your ass~!”

[thedarkpuppet]

"Hmmm.... nope you don't have the look in your eyes. The look of a truly free person. Nopity nope. Home sweet home it's where the heart is and right now you're heart's dying by conformity and society. I'd prescribe two doses of fun and real enjoyment of life." Varg laughed a little bit and stopped suddenly. He moved quickly and put his face into Zaniel's. "Bring it on sweet heart~" 

[fiatlux7]

[fiatlux7]

Zaniel was honestly intrigued. “But why? Isn’t that a little stupid unnecessary if you’re so well off? Nevermind. I don’t care. Just give me back my books - unlike you I’m not a bum and I go to school. We’ve been going the wrong way, anyway.”

[thedarkpuppet]

"For the adventure! And to…

[fiatlux7]

Zaniel lifted his eyebrows. “Wow. Well, Varg, as much as I would love to play pretend and go on adventures with you, I’m tired and really don’t have time for children~” he held out his hand. “Now can’t you give me my books since you already know where main street is?”

[thedarkpuppet]

Varg laughed at Zaniel and smiled. "Oh no you're along for the ride now! Besides I would hate to contradict you about being a child." Skipping still in the wrong direction Varg looked up at the sky. "Zanny you gotta enjoy life while you got it ~"

Zaniel was honestly intrigued. “But why? Isn’t that a little stupid unnecessary if you’re so well off? Nevermind. I don’t care. Just give me back my books - unlike you I’m not a bum and I go to school. We’ve been going the wrong way, anyway.”

[thedarkpuppet]

"For the adventure! And to get away from my annoying ass brother~ Not that he didn't follow me anyway. Nope nope nope. 'sides I do go to school sometimes." Laughing, Varg continued the wrong direction. "I know~ This is your punishment for purposely telling me to go the wrong way."

Zaniel smiled bittersweetly, stuffing his hands in his hoodie because he was too tired and too short to start swinging punches at this guy, tall as he is. “You, Varg, are an ass~ And… let me guess. Alcohol? Drugs?”

[thedarkpuppet]

"Ah I get that a lot, my dear Zanny~" Varg smiled and continued walking backwards. "And I assure you I'm completely sober right now and well, most of the time. Only addition I've got is to peppermints." Varg laughed happily. "Ever think that maybe some people chose to live on the streets?"

Zaniel halted mid-step. Zanny… “Definitely not.” the blonde snapped, a little too quickly. “If anything, you can either call me Jack or Zaniel. Preferably Zaniel.” Jack Zaniel Carlisle. His parents thought it would be funny to name him Jack Daniels, but misspelled Daniels on his birth certificate, and so ever since he decided he was more of a Zaniel than a Jack. But this was kind of freaky, he thought as he started walking again. How’d he get so close to his name? “And you know, instead of bothering poor, tired citizens, you should be looking for a job and get some nicer clothes.” He stated offhandedly.

[thedarkpuppet]

Varg laughed a little bit. "Wow Zanny was pretty close to your actual name. Jack? Nah, you're forever Zanny in my book now!" Varg wondered how he had gotten so close to the other's actual name and he could tell that Zaniel was surprised as well. It was odd. "Looking for a job, eh? I don't need one. And buying nicer clothes would be a waste when these still fit and keep me warm."

Varg spun out of reach. “Oh where are my manners~ I’m Varg. It’s nice to meet you. What’s your name?” Varg started walking in the direction Zaniel had pointed in.

[fiatlux7]

"Varg~ What a nice,"

Stupid. “name~” Zaniel replied happily-faked, begrudgingly following after Varg. “Unfortunately I have no wish to be acquainted with you so if you can so kindly give me back my books, please and thank you~!”

[thedarkpuppet]

"Hm well if you’re not gonna tell me your name I’ll have to make one up for you." Varg skipped along in the direction Zaniel had pointed, knowing full well it was the wrong way. Varg turned around and looked at Zaniel while walking backwards. "Zanny! You look like a Zanny."

[fiatlux7]

[fiatlux7]

Zaniel moved to grab his bags back, smiling sweetly. “Oh, I would love to walk around with a smelly weird bum like you but… uh, how about—”

“No.”

[thedarkpuppet]

Varg spun out of reach. "Oh where are my manners~ I'm Varg. It's nice to meet you. What's your name?" Varg started walking in the direction Zaniel had pointed in.

[fiatlux7]

[fiatlux7]

Oh great, a weird homeless guy. Zaniel instinctively shoved the guy off his shoulder, smiling pleasantly but with not-so-pleasant thoughts in his head. “Oh, sure!” He beamed, pointing in the opposite direction of the weirdo’s destination (because he was feeling particularly moody that day, and felt that anyone who crossed his path should have just as bad of a day as he did.) “It’s that way! Just keep walking straight and you’ll find it eventually!”

[thedarkpuppet]

Varg laughed as he was pushed off and scooped the bag of books out of Zaniel's hands. "Oh no- I'm terrible with directions. You tell me to go that way and I end up going that way!" Varg said point in random directions. "Can't you show me the way? I'll carry your books and then give you money to take a cab wherever you're going. 'Sides walking with someone's a lot more fun."

[fiatlux7]

He walked down the street with a heavy bag of books over his shoulder, tired from a hard day of work. After he was constantly bothered by the little kid who lived next door with the weirdest name he has ever heard, he was harassed by a usual customer who ate way too many subs for a healthy male and seemed to have a mission to make Zaniel’s life miserable. Thinking back on it, Zaniel probably ruined his life in some way. He seemed to be notorious for twisting people with words. Or maybe he just had a thing against short people. 

Turning the corner, Zaniel spotted a guy and—for a second—he thought he saw an ice wolf beside him. He blinked the image away with a frown. Stupid dreams… making him see things that aren’t even there.

[thedarkpuppet]

For a second Varg swore the boy who just turned the corner had wings made from fragments of light, but then the boy shifted and it was gone. Strange, but no stranger than usual. "Ah just the person I was looking for! Or well, not really, but you are a person and I was looking for a person in general so... I suppose you are who I was looking for~" Varg said with a grin. 

Varg moved right beside Zaniel and slung an arm across the other's shoulders. "Would you be so kind as to direct me to main street?" Of course this was probably weird. Varg looked like a dirty street rat. He was actually extremely well off, mommy and daddy died when he was young and he inherited all of the money but he didn't care to spend it on things like clothes or a house, in fact it was all sitting in a huge bank account.

Zaniel’s smile looked strained. “We’ll be out in a few minutes. If I’m not out in five, then you can come in.”

[thedarkpuppet]

Varg looked a little suspicious. "Hmmm... Okay, but I have to stand right beside the curtain."

[thedarkpuppet]

[fiatlux7]

"Oh, right." Leah shot Varg a sly look, malicious intent hidden beneath them, before tilting her head at Zaniel. "What is it, your highness?"

Zaniel motioned to a room concealed by an ominous curtain. “The usual. Plus a little something… Extra.” Leah nodded in understanding, skipping behind the curtain and motioning Zaniel to follow. Zaniel turned to Varg. “Be a good boy and stay here, will ya?”

[thedarkpuppet]

Varg felt a chill go down his spine at the sly look. There was definitely malicious intent hidden behind it. After all, Varg was trained to see when someone wanted to hurt him or hurt someone else.

Varg looked at Zaniel for a moment before shaking his head. "Oh no, what if she tries to hurt you or something. How can I guard your body if it's allllllll the way in there behind a curtain?"

[thedarkpuppet]

A simple story with a simple assignment. He was the newest bodyguard, servant, plaything of some royal brat and in exchange he'd find out every bit of information on the royal family someone else just as rich and pompous was paying his organization to get. A simple an easy job. After all once he had all of his information he'd be able to kill the royal family. Of course, the brat didn't have to die, but typically he enjoyed finishing a job completely. 

Walking in, his shoes making no noise on the plush carpet, he stopped in front of the royal brat he was there to entertain. Bowing, Varg smiled a little and said, "I'm Varg Norre. I'll be your newest bodyguard."

Why yes you do.

Varg’s demeanor changed suddenly. “There’s a lake to the south where drownings happen. Sirens are normally around there.” And then he was back to normal and smile. “To the south then!”

Shaun gave Varg a confused look, but followed him anyway.

[fiatlux7]

Zaniel snickered at Shaun. “Guess you don’t know.” He laughed, but didn’t clarify for the ice sage. He didn’t completely want to piss Varg off.

[thedarkpuppet]

Shaun gave Zaniel a look. "Don't know what?"

Varg just laughed loudly and said, "Oh Zaniel, always a kidder." And then gave Zaniel a look that said if Zaniel told Shaun he would find a way to make his life a living hell.

[thewinterlord]

[fiatlux7]

Zaniel hufffed, but decided it’d be better to say nothing. He s irked smugly at Shaun, however, before standing to his feet.

[thedarkpuppet]

"Don't think I don't see that smirk Zaniel." Varg said calmly. 

Shaun snatched up Zaniel's weapon and took to walking on a specific side of Varg, carefully ignoring Zaniel's aura entirely so he wouldn't have to deal with it.

"So where do we think the siren wandered off to?"
