Earth(s)?

Keuk

Our blades crossed as our feet fluttered across the patented dirt, which crumbled at our landing steps.

Emma’s small stature made it hard to land attacks.

Even if they were wooden swords, I still pulled my punches to avoid a worse case scenario.

Slash-Slash

The wood starts to chip off Emma’s sword until-

Crunch

Inevitably, Emma was reduced to half a swordswomen, as the other half was shattered on the ground.

Wooden shards poked out of the ground.

“I-I’m sorry, brother.” A heartfelt apology full of guilt, guilt led by the idea that she’s bringing down my reputation.

“Nothing to apologize for.” I say, as I teleport Emma’s broken sword into the fire pit, which at this point was overflowing with wooden shards.

Emma stares at me in disbelief at the sight of my nonchalant magic.

I pay no mind to the praise filled eyes.

“I’m heading inside now, Emma.”

“Ok, I’ll keep training!” She yells.

The idea that she’s pushing herself so much for me kind of pisses me off, but I let her do as she feels necessary.

‘Time to prepare dinner’ I thought to myself.

With the lack of parental vision around the house, I’ve been needing to step it up.

‘Ever since Mom and Dad got ravaged by some stray Demon Dogs, Me and Emma’s humble abode has been kind of lonely…’ I place my hand on the door handle, ready to prepare a meal.

‘With the exception of-‘

“Heyyy Emmmaa…”

‘Three Y’s, it’s him...’ I turn around as my hand leaves the door handle, which was ready to be turnt.

“Soooo, Emmmwaaa~, care to join thyself for some Steak~?” The smug but lonely look on that putrid face of Chad’s made me want to curb stomp him.

“U-Uh, n-no I’m okay, th-thank you though.” Emma can’t stand not being nice to everyone.

My teleportation magic activates.

“You heard her, playa. Your 4 second stay was long overdone.” I smirk.

“Wa-WAIT!”

“Give me a second to prove myself this time.”

My face stayed unwavered, as the magic aura fluttered below Chad’s feet, ready to be released.

“Ple-Please Noah, I beg of thee. I’ll prove my worthiness of Emmy through my wealth.” Chad emptied pockets full of gold coins and jewels.

Don’t get me wrong, Chad is most definitely wealthy. His white tux outlined with a gold brim was proof of that. But that’s not the problem…

“Fuck off- You zit infested pus ball.” I ignore his plea, as I wait for the valuables to be safely put on the ground.

The problem lies within the fact that all of his money…

“N-No- Noah please do not hurt thyself!!!”

‘Is his fathers.’

‘He’s also pretty fucking ugly.’

“AAAAAAAHHHHHH-“ Chad’s screams became less clear the further his deformed face was sent back to where it belongs.

“N-Noah, Where did you send him?” Emma earnestly asked a question that had suggested she was concerned for his snotty well being.

“The Sweat Swamp” I replied, as I walked towards the magic aura left after my teleportation spell.

‘Oh HoHo!..’

A shit faced grin appeared on my face, making me look even less human than Chad.

“12 TWELVE GOLD COINS!”

“A WHOLE 3 MORE THAN YESTERDAY”

My face broke into one of gratefulness, as I began to pray.

“Thank you Zit Lord for letting your subordinate donate to our funds directly.” My eyes started to tear from gratitude.

Emma let out a sigh, indication of her concern for Chad, but also the comedic affect my joke left.

‘Hopefully tomorrow he comes with a month's worth of food… claiming it to be his again- of course.’

I turn my head toward Emma, as I smile, still on my knees from ‘Praying’.

‘These last few months have been grinning upon us. I hope it stays that way…’

Sigh…

My eyes close as I stand up and look forward to the future-

-“A FUTURE FULL OF RICHES AND PEACE!”

I declare my hopes to Emma in a satirical sense, but obviously my words hold some merit.

I open my eyes, with part of me hoping my wish has been granted already.

Blink

Blink

‘Huh.’

My face contorts.

‘Huuuuuh?’

Stareeeee—

The stares of numerous people, who were MOST CERTAINLY not there before, pierce me with embarrassment.

‘HUUUUUUUH?!?!’

“Ahem. Don’t know what that was, but…”

A man, maybe 40, standing with a greenish attire begins speaking into a weird device with an amplified voice, from the top of a podium allowing him to look down upon us.

Above me, a weird shaped metallic device which is unfamiliar to me.

To my Left and Right, numerous people, all differing in status and appearance.

Surrounding this all, Hundreds of Men lined up like soldiers, with odd tools at hand, and a similar style of clothing to the man on the podium.

“WELCOME TO…”

My Eyes Widen as the Man continues.

“EARTHHH!!!”

Silence

Ensuing Silence

An Even Longer Continuation of Silence

I take a breath.

Huff

“Uhhh, excuse me-“

“But why would we not be on Earth?”

Aside from the already confused group which I seemed to be a part of, the entire room seemed to have been stunned with Shock.

I’m caught wondering to myself…

‘…Where the Fuck am I?’
