This chapter is dedicated to Lolzer82, he’s been very encouraging of my story and has given me an idea or two (they’re quite interesting) so here it is: I don’t really have any super awesome idea's but instead I can just say that when I have a idea it just ends up with me making you insane... either that or the entire world blows up... your choice. And yes I'm THAT bad at making idea's so if you want the world to end then follow one of my ideas. He wants vikings too. Because vikings are cool.
This chapter is me going insane writing it, so enjoy my insanity, friends :D, trust me this chapter made me go insane... And yes, Sketch is based upon myself so how he acts is basically how I am. (Fun facts yay!)
Chapter Five: What exactly is “Love”?
“So…um….” Vinyl started saying “Oh crap the time. My shows starting soon, do you wanna come Sketch?” You stared at her blankly before snapping back “Uh, yeah ok Vinyl” you got up saying as she walked out the door. “Octavia, we’ll be back later” you yelled before walking out “So where is the place where this is going to be Vinyl?” You asked following her and waving at the few familiar faces you saw on the street as you were walking. “Where I usually have my gigs, a small building down the street they have different forms of music every day and night, tonight is the night I always play” you nodded in confirmation as you both stopped infront of a plain building with no windows or signs.
You start walking in as Vinyl looks backwards and gasps “Vinyl! Hej min vän!” You hear a loud voice call out before Vinyl started speaking “Wille! Gott att se dig, det har varit alldeles för länge.” You just stared blankly as she walked in with a stallion almost twice your size that had a cutie mark of three crowns with a mane and beard that covered most of his face. “Sketch, this is my friend Wille he lives in Stockhoof, he comes here every year when it’s near my birthday I’ve known him since I was a filly” she smiled and said as he looked at you “I nej speak bra Equestrian” he said looking confused as you gave him the same look back. “You see Sketch, Stockhoof is a area that is basically sealed off from Equestria, the ponies there don’t speak quite like us it’s a different language, different customs and etcetera.” You nodded “Thanks for explaining Vinyl, maybe he can teach me some new things.” You finished saying as he nodded and spoke to Vinyl “En vän av yours Vinyl min vän, är en vän till mig. Jag skall lära honom vad han vill veta” he smiled widely and hit your chest as Vinyl trotted up to the stage where her setup was and put on the dark purple glasses you saw around her house everyday “Show starts in five minutes, might as well have some fun while you’re here” she said as you and Wille walked towards the stage as it got dark in the room.
“HELLOOOOO PONYVILLE” you heard Vinyl yelling as the club finished filling up with people as they all started cheering as she began yelling again “LET’S START THIS PARRRRRRTYYYY” she finished as music started playing soft and shiftily before blaring after the bass dropped, something you’d gotten very used to over the past few days. “So, you can understand our language but not speak it, right?” You said loudly ensuring he could hear you as he nodded. “Then can you teach me some basics of it so I can learn it, maybe some of the ways your people act” he looked towards you a moment before saying “Ja. Vän Jag skall lära dig vårt språk” he smiled “Also, when is Vinyl’s birthday?” He looks at you wide-eyed “Imorgon” you blankly stared as he tapped his hoof to his what you thought to be chin. “Tweny-första Sommar.” You facehoofed “You mean tomorrow… The twenty-first of summer” he nodded happily. “I am royally bucked.” You thought to yourself repeatedly “Why didn’t she tell me…” You softly said “Tell Vinyl I went home, I’m getting tired” you said and started walking out as you heard Wille yell “Okej, sova bra vän!” You stumbled back to your house and fell inside “Octavia it’s me….I’m going to bed having a blackout again..” you passed out just before opening the door to your room.
You rubbed your head and felt the blanket over you “Thank Celestia for Octavia..” You mumbled and got up “Wonder what time it is" you yawned and started walking downstairs and singing
“It’s a brand new me
I’ve got no remorse
The water’s rising but I know the course
I’m gonna shock the world
Gonna show that norse
It’s a brand new day…”
You started to finish as Vinyl cut in
“And sketch will see the true me
Noting broke not a bloke and defiantly no things fail here
And though we may cry, we will hold our love high
We've got the keys to our life, grace as beautiful as Azalea's”
You both stared at each other before breaking into song again
“It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the ponies sing
Because we’re gonna fly
Go ahead and laugh
Were a waggish brace
Tell everyone Shalom
It's our brand new day”
You both smiled and hugged each other tightly as you felt multiple pairs of eyes on you and looked around “Oh…Hey everypony” you chuckled slightly and stared as a dark pink pony with straight hair popped infront of you “WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS?! THE SHOW?! NOONE and I mean NOONE breaks into song unless I’m the one instigating it. THIS IS A FANFICTION FOR CELESTIA’S SAKE. Only I break into song” everypony looked at her weirdly before you started to speak up. “Uhm….What..?” Vinyl smiled and started speaking “It’s Pinkie love, her job is basically mutilating the fourth wall, bursting into song, and well parties.” You just stared blankly “Fourth what?” She kissed your nose “Spoilers dear, spoilers.” Pinkie just sprung back to life and hopped around the room humming happily. “Everypony I have an announcement to make” Twilight said making herself heard “I have made a “reservation” for Vinyl’s party and we need to leave within an hour if we want to get there in time to be able to all go to our own rooms and get ready” Vinyl gave her the kind of look you’d expect out of Dash “And where is this exactly Twi?” She said still giving her that look “Canterlot. In the castle gardens.” She smiled as your face just fell grim “MORE TRAINS?” Echoed louder than you could stand in your head “Well everypony, start getting packed trains leaving in an hour” the crowd dispersed leaving you and Wille alone “Wille, are du kommer?” You said choppily as he nodded “Ja vän” and sat down with a small satchel next to him filled with next to nothing.
“Vinyl, exactly how old are you?” You asked and looked at her putting all your drawing things in a same sack you took when you went to see Princess Luna with the addition of a bowtie. “Oh, old enough dear” she said giggling slightly and winking as you blushed “All ready to go?” She finished and got up. “Yeah, just my art things is all I need really” you began saying. “I don’t dress up” you opened the door and let her walk out before following her out. “Octavia, it’s time we get going please hurry up” she hit the door to show she heard you as you heard Vinyl talking “Jaha wille, alla redo att gå till Canterlot?” “Ja, ja, Vinyl jag fascinerat till har denna chans” you heard Wille’s familiar booming voice say “Någon av prinsessorna talar mitt språk slump?” Vinyl sat there and shrugged as Octavia started coming downstairs dragging her cello with her “Why are you bringing that old thing Octy?” Vinyl yelled before even seeing her “Because, Vinyl” the gray mare started “Some of us don’t play with technology to make music it comes from an actual instrument” she sighed and sat down the cello at the bottom of the stairs “Would du like jag to det för you Octavia?” Wille said choppily smiling she nodded and thanked him as he laid it on his back and walked out the door all of us following behind him and gathering at the train with the others. “Ok everypony, get aboard!” Twilight called as everyone rushed inside and you sighed before laying down on the train and looking at Vinyl “It’s ok Sketch, come here” she dragged you closer to her and nuzzled you “It’s just a train, nothing scary about it” she said as you smiled slightly and blacked out next to Vinyl as she slowly stroked you.
“How long was I out” you rubbed your head “About three hours, Twi said we need to get down there in around an hour Wille carried you up here to rest” she said staring into your eyes “Sketch, whats with these blackouts, why do they happen?” You got up and walked towards your sack “Just when I get stressed out they happen, and trains just…” She kissed you “I understand that, but why do you even have them in the first place, what makes them tick?” You sat on the bed and looked at her “I don’t know Vinyl, they just happen and I’ve learned to deal with it” you smiled and started putting the bowtie on “Don’t fret about it.” She smiled slightly “Alright I guess, let’s go then” she walked out the door as you joined her and Pinkie came bouncing down the hall before the others. “Oh also, the bowtie? Really?” You stared blankly at her “What, I wear bowties now, bowties are cool.” “BUT YOU AREN’T THE DOCTOR SILLY!” Pinkie barged in saying bouncing higher “Erm…what?” Vinyl sighed “Love, it’s Pinkie. Don’t question it she does whatever she does because she’s unexplainable…” You sighed “I just want to know about her, she’s so….me.” “Hello, my little ponies” you heard Princess Celestia call as you neared the gardens “And a very happy birthday to you, Vinyl Scratch I have a feeling Luna will be quite happy to see you as always.” She smiled as the three of you entered to see Luna sitting and staring at the sky unaware of your presence “Leave her be Pinkie, she’s busy right now and I would hate to see her mess this up.” You looked up at the sky and instantly realized what she’s doing “Moving the stars….I wish I could create art on nearly a scale as large as that” you just stared in awe for what seemed like hours. “I’ve never seen someone quite so interested in the night sky” a familiar voice said happily before the dark blue hooves were wrapped around your neck “So good to see you again Sketch! And Vinyl!” She quickly switched from you to Vinyl “Happiest of days my friend.”
“And to you princess Luna” she replied “I am very glad to be here on my birthday, I can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be for this day or…” she glances quickly at you with the quickest hint of a smile before looking back at princess Luna. “Anyone I’d rather spend this day with.”
You feel comfortable knowing that you are surrounded by your friends, and pinkie, you blush thinking on how wonderful Vinyl has been all this time, going through such lengths to make sure you had everything you needed for drawing even though you were certain she knew it was a bit over the top and clearly she didn’t need to, you hadn’t believed in love at first sight at all and yet it was so clearly in front of you in this girl and you get really flustered realizing that here you’ve gotten all distracted on Vinyl’s most special of day. But then you realize that it’s ok because pinkie has been nonsensical rambling this whole time and nobody seems to have noticed.
“Oh hey sketch, you seemed pretty deep in thought so I didn’t want to disturb you, what’s up?” you blush even brighter realizing that apparently not everybody was paying attention to Pinkie’s rambling but figure out that since its vinyl she must have clearly known well enough that Pinkie talks a lot about nothing.
“Oh hey sketch what’s going on, what are you thinking about and whys your face all red like that do you have a secret crush on princess Luna come-on tell me TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME!!!” you blush even brighter your face like a furnace feeling uncomfortable about her eagerness on such a topic but thankfully your saving grace Vinyl decides to change the topic before it gets any worse reminding you of one of the many reasons you’ve fallen so fast and so hard in love with this pony.
“Gee Princess Luna the stars sure do look amazing” she said finally allowing your face to return to its normal temperature before you move closer alongside her staring once more in equal awe at them. She’s right despite that she only brought up the stars to change the topic of conversation, Princess Luna always outdid herself with how she placed them in the night sky.
You were really glad to be able to share such a beautiful sight with her on this special day of hers and even more grateful that Twilight’s anti-passing-out spell seems to be so effective so you wouldn’t accidentally pass out during Vinyl’s birthday which would be a totally horrible mess you can’t even begin to imagine how insanely terrible it would be if you accidentally did that you feel as if you’d never live it down. at the very least not for another year unless you accidentally passed out then in which case you’d probably have to wait two more years and hopefully not pass during either of those years otherwise you could end up taking another 3-4 years until eventually you were dead and would never be able to live that down and have been forever a disappointment to her and you don’t… “Hey Sketch you seem to be thinkin’ awful hard there, what’s up partner?” you look around shocked at the voice and realize that the accent couldn’t have been anyone’s other than Applejack’s and suddenly you realize you were so spaced out thinking that the others had arrived and you hadn’t even noticed them.
You quickly blush furiously as a stream of gibberish comes out of your mouth instead of any words that would make this moment less embarrassing, not that you really had any in mind that could have averted such a thing, you quickly shut your mouth blushing even brighter which causes Pinkie to break into another fit of giggles at your expense which only worsens the matter.
Vinyl, your saving grace once more, changes the topic thankfully and asks you how you are doing with the record covers to which you respond that they are coming along nicely and you hope that she likes them as much as you like her the last part kind of slipping out of your mouth as you blush the moment you realize you had accidentally said that out loud instead of just in your head. She giggles at it which isn’t something you’ve seen very often but you take some comfort in the fact that she seems genuinely amused and you don’t take it too harshly.
The other ponies seem to be enjoying the night sky Luna having commented that she tried to make the night sky even more beautiful in light of the wonderful occasion that was Vinyl’s birthday. Well she didn’t really embellish the last part but she did in your mind so you figured that had to count for something, because after all it was your true loves birthday and what a wonderful day it was for you and her. Luna decided that she would give you and vinyl a closer look at her moving the stars around and you were very honored by it thinking that not many ponies got such an opportunity, she even made a special one night constellation of vinyl to commemorate the event though it was very subtle and was only truly noticeable if you looked right at it as to not make everyone else jealous or cause her to get a lot of requests, still though the gesture was appreciated a great deal, it was a truly wonderful thing for her to do and vinyl was greatly humbled by it, another emotion you haven’t really seen much in her, the closer you got to her the more you seemed to see in her and the more you seemed to love her you truly began to wonder about how perfect you two seemed for each other in the sense that you could only imagine that it was something like destiny or fate that you two met as surely something as fickle as luck couldn’t be trusted to such an intricately made thing as this, no clearly Vinyl and your love was meant to be you told yourself, you were convinced that you were fated to be together and that only assured you that you’d never be apart and inside that brought you the greatest feeling of warmth, knowing that with her you were safe and had someone who intrigued you and made you feel special, it was kind of embarrassing how she always had to look out for you like earlier but you are no less grateful to her for doing it, she was one amazing pony and you were amazingly fortunate to have one such as her to be with forever. Or at least so you hoped prayed and any other form of ritual that may cause you two to be together longer, as long as possible even, for surely you’d never want to separate yourself from one such as her. One as magnificent as her.
“You sure do think of her a lot” Fluttershy said, snapping you out of your revere though you realize you only heard it because she was close to you, you had been on autopilot this entire time without realizing it so lost in thought, Fluttershy seemed to really understand you quite well to get that much and you suddenly realized it might be appropriate to respond to her.
“Um… yeah…” you find it funny for a moment that you’re the one being shy given all that Vinyl has told you combined with all that you’ve learned yourself about Fluttershy which has taught you that she’s normally quite timid yet here you are only able to say two words, she’s said four times as much as you so far and while she made a statement all you could do was agree with it, you consider this great dilemma even further before realizing that its only getting worse by you continuing not to say anything so you force yourself to say the first thing that you can think to say hoping that you don’t say anything perverted, rude or anything else to frighten her off…
Thankfully that comes out as “I guess I am, how are you doing Fluttershy? I’m surprised that you came up and talked to me, you usually seem so quiet not that I mind of course I think it’s great to hear you actually speaking you should do it more often” phew, you dodged that bullet, thankfully what you said was actually very polite and not at all what you feared it might have been, you can only imagine how many worse things you could have said than that. “Usually I’m quiet I know but your different because were friends now and you’re supposed to be more open and outgoing around friends according to pinkie pie though I don’t think I’ll ever be as outgoing as her…” Fluttershy said this somewhat despairingly and you frown for a second before coming up with a good response.
“Fluttershy, I don’t think you have anything to worry about, I don’t think anybody could be as outgoing as pinkie. And I don’t think you have to worry if you’re not, I don’t think the world could handle having anybody else be THAT outgoing, you should learn to embrace who you are, because who you are is just fine, especially as long as you can talk to your friends, after all, you don’t want to be good at talking to your enemies and bad at talking to your friends that’d just be weird.”Fluttershy didn’t appear to get the joke you just made as was reflected when she said “But I don’t have any enemies” when you broke out laughing however she quickly realized that you had been joking and laughed along with you either to avoid embarrassment or because, having realized it was a joke, she found it quite funny, either way she seemed to smile genuinely.
“OK everypony, gather around” Celestia said in her always gentle sounding voice as everyone looked up at the sound of thunder. “VINYL SCRATCH MIN KOMPIS, GRATTIS PÅ FÖDELSEDAGEN!” Everyone laughed as Wille called out riding a cloud as he fell towards the ground with a box on this back. “Wille! Säg inte du tog dig tid att göra en prinsessa torte i år igen” Vinyl said as Princess Celestia watched him land “Hej, Wille jag har hört mycket om dig” she said as Wille stared at her surprised. “Va? Oh ja, jag slår vad om att du har” he answered back to her as he sat down the box and a table not far from the group of you. “Everypony,” Celestia began saying “Wille has made a special treat for our friends birthday, it is something that they bake in Stockhoof on special occasions, like Thurseblot, it’s a holiday celebrating one of the gods that they belive in. Unlike the other ponies in Equestria, they don’t see sister and myself as the rulers they worship Odin and Thor.” Wille nodded and screamed “ODEN kan vägleda mig genom mina strider!” You all just stared at him then burst out laughing. “Tack, tack så mycket, Wille” Vinyl said happily as the torches in the garden suddenly burnt out leaving everypony blind in the night “I think were gonna need more torches.” You said as they suddenly burst to life with flames again “Hey, has anypony seen Octavia?” Vinyl just looked over towards you “You’re right I haven’t seen her either…” Everypony looked around for her as Wille started taking the torte out of the box as soft strums of a cello come to your ears “I think we found Octavia” Vinyl said and leaned onto you “Her music makes me sleepy” she yawned as everypony gathered around the two of you before Pinkie jumped out in front of everypony “LET’S THIS PAR-TAY STARTED!” She yelled as Vinyl jumped up bringing you with her “Come on Sketch, you’re gonna help me with the set” she grinned and dragged you over to the turntables where Octavia was surprisingly at playing her cello. “Hey Octavia, we were wondering where you’d gone off to” you said and sat next to Vinyl.
You and Vinyl stayed there for about an hour playing along with Octavia with little interaction at all before Luna came over to you “Sketch, I would like you to accompany me for a certain matter” she said as you blushed slightly remembering Pinkie’s comment earlier about the princess “Ok, Luna just give me a sec” you said telling Vinyl you’d be back soon quickly before trotting off with the princess deeper in to the gardens. “S-Sketch, how have you been lately? With the change of environment new people and everything?” She said slightly blushing “I’m alright.” You said still watching the flowers as they were slowly moving to form different bouquets “Everypony is nice to me and everything, I have a life I never could of dreamed of really” you finished as you smiling and looked at Luna “This garden is very intresting, I’d like to stay here for awhile sometime.” She smiled and looked up at the sky “I wish more people could admire the night for it’s true beauty like you, I think we should get back to the others now they might wonder where we are.” You nodded and started heading back before she tripped over a vine and fell flat on her face, you tried to hold in your laughter but it just busted out as you helped her up “I’m sorry Luna, that was just too funny..” She glared at you before walking off again as you joined back with the others.
“Hey what’d Luna want?” Vinyl said making her way to you “Oh nothing, just was wondering how I was doing, not much” Wille walked up to the both of you “Vinyl, som alltid kommer få ökade” she nodded and tugged you to walk with her as Wille walked towards the table where everypony was sitting at “Thank you for coming, all you” Vinyl said and smiled before sitting down and forcing you next to her. “Grattis på födelsedagen, min vän” Wille said gently lifting the rose off of the pastry and setting it infront of Vinyl as she nodded her head and smiled “Tack wille, för allt.” Wille started cutting pieces of the strange cake for all of the ponies at the table and sat down when he was finished “So Vinyl, how do ya know Wille? Seems a might odd.” Vinyl stretched before starting to talk “His family used to be close to my family, so he’s a good family friend” Pinkie just bounced around the table “Isuredolovecakeitssogoodandmakesmejustsohappy!” Everyone just sighed and laughed at the pink party pony and her bouncing. “Hey Vinyl, I’m going to go and try to sleep, I’m not feeling that well so try and get to sleep at a decent time ok?” She smiled and kissed you “Yes, love.” You walked back inside the castle and down the hall looking for the room you had been in earlier with Vinyl before you finally found it and lazily walked in falling on the bed “How does Vinyl stand doing that all day and night, it’s so tiring…” You yawned and moved up into the bed and fell asleep quickly.
As you woke up you find that there was a tray in bed and it had a note on it, according to said note Vinyl had made you breakfast but wasn’t around, she apparently had to go shopping for some things. You gratefully ate the breakfast she had prepared for you realizing she was a good cook. You realize that she was looking at some of your album covers and you blushed, some of them weren’t finished and some needed touchups but according to yet another note she left she also seemed to highly approve of it which filled you with a sense of warmth that she appreciated the covers you had worked so hard (thankfully not just in your face this time).
You looked at it staring at your work for a minute, it’s not something you really did very often, usually you just started working on another piece after deeming that something was finished but something possessed you this time to actually take a look at the compilation of all the work you had done and are startled out of your sudden obsession by Vinyl telling you that they really are quite good.
“VINYL!? When did you get here?” You said blushing furiously once more in your face again as had become the trend for you. “I didn’t expect you back so soon” “It’s not as soon as you might think dear, you’ve been asleep for quite a while and though that food was pretty warm when you ate it I imagine that’s only because I made something I was pretty sure would stay warm, I received a few cooking lessons here and there because I thought it’d be nice to make you breakfast in bed sometime.” She blushed at this apparently realizing her own rambling though you were too lost in the sound of her voice to notice the embarrassed nature that had shone through the words so clearly anyone else would have seen it from a mile away.
“If it’s alright with you I’d really like to watch you work, I’d love to be able to learn to draw like you, I tried once when I was younger but when I realized I had a far greater talent for music I decided to abandon it and music became my life’s dream.” She blushed and it seemed like she was going to say something more to continue it but then she stopped.“I don’t know I’ve never been really good at sketching with someone watching but I enjoy being around you so I’d love to at least give it a try.” She smiled at your words seeming to hold back an even bigger smile inside as sometimes had been her coy nature, another thing about her which you’ve come to love and endear so very much. “Actually though, on the subject of that I’m afraid I’ve kind of been running out of ideas with the sketching, I’ve had a pretty decent interest in music and I’d be lying if I told you that your music hasn’t captured my interest even further, I think it would really help if I could listen to more of it and learn more about it if you don’t mind.”
To contrast your shy nature she seemed overjoyed at the thought of indoctrinating you further into the world of music, her world of music no less, she ecstatically grabbed your hoof and dragged you as fast as she could to Luna’s study. She overzealously began showing you her sound system and talking about how it worked seeing your confusion she realized first-hand experience would definitely be the best way and wondered why she hadn’t began with that, she realized you were staring at her as she pondered this and put a record on, you were bombarded with loud music and when your ears adjusted you also realized that she was manipulating the record in a way that caused a scratching effect as you had learned it was called from an earlier experience with her she really seemed to get into it and even helped you once you had seen enough of it, not many words were exchanged between the two of you, likely due to the loud music however the romance, at least to you, was still there, somewhere, buried beneath the blasting music that you imagined, should some malicious being ever come to Pony Ville would be strong enough to blast them away thus repelling their attack.
Time seemed to but didn’t really stand still, you realized it hadn’t stood as still as you thought especially when you looked at a clock which informed you of your now obviously flawed assumption that it had just decided to wait up in light of the romantic moment between the two of you. With a blush you realized this certainly had been a date, albeit a unique date not scheduled in any way whatsoever not that you think you could or would ever want to schedule something which would conflict with her clearly spontaneous nature which you wouldn’t trade for anything in the world of course.
Both of you left Luna’s study together, you don’t know if you’ll ever get over just what a wonderful word together is especially when its together with Vinyl, and realized it was way past lunch time and you hadn’t eaten. So you headed back to your room which had its own kitchen inside it (seriously, it’s just a guest room). You looked into the refrigerator and decided that you’d make lunch for the two of you, you pulled out jelly cheese and eggs thinking you could cook a traditional lunch however you got the instinctual impression that she might like something more out of the norm so you put together the skills you had adapted from Celestia knows where and decided to make a cheese and strawberry jelly omelet. She was slightly put off by the idea at first though she wouldn’t dare tell you such a thing, but at the same time a lingering curiosity ate away at her wondering what such a strange concoction would end up tasting like.
When the omelets were done cooking you both dug in and they were amazing she especially seemed to love it she ate it quickly and seemed disappointed when it was gone which made you laugh so you gave her a piece of your omelet, you weren’t that hungry and you could tell she really liked them she was quite affectionate at how you gave her the piece she seemed to think it a bigger deal than it seemed to you, she ate it slowly this time savoring the flavor of it and oddly enough you finished before her this time.
When she was done you gathered up the plates and decided to do the dishes, as was the custom for whoever cooked or so you believed, though she helped, you were at first going to object saying it was your pleasure to do the dishes for her but you couldn’t open your mouth to say it. This was most likely due to two facts, the first being that she didn’t entirely seem to mind and the second being that you wouldn’t dare say something that would put any distance between the two of you especially considering how much you enjoyed her presence so instead you just smiled at her as she smiled back at you, part of you thought this a bit sappy but it was heartwarming all the same especially so long as your body didn’t take this opportunity to suddenly collapse on you however irony is a cruel and fickle mistress and you found yourself passing out despite your desire to not do so, had you not passed out as suddenly as you had you most likely would have cursed cruel fickle irony and fate or whatever else may have been responsible however not having the time to be able to nor the presence of mind to do it, you instead merely collapsed, irony fate and whatever other cruel creature responsible for such a thing having gone uncursed much to your would be dismay if you had gotten the chance to think about it more.
AUTHOR’S NOTES
This chapter is unbelievably long, I wouldn’t have had it done nearly in time without the help of a great friend of mine: Shiftingshadows99. He’s most likely going to be helping me with every chapter from here on out because I love doing this for all of you and making chapters this long alone is kind of difficult for me, but that aside….There are four references in this chapter, let’s see who can find them all. :D (I realize it isn’t 6,000 words but it’s close enough damnit and a message from Wille: Heja oden! Dessutom förväntar sig mer av mig och andra vänner.)
