Chapter 2: Just a Calm Day

Part 1
From Dust Till Dawn was a shop in the city of Vale owned by an old man with his eyes constantly closed who was wearing a green shirt and a brown apron. It was a shop selling a very special material called Dust. Dust was used for pretty much anything nowadays, from weapon ammunitions to airships or androids.

A young man was going out the shop. He was quite tall and he has messy, light brown hair cutted at middle-length with the left side sticked up so that it looked like a horn. He was wearing a zipped dark gray light vest with a hood and a black and blue military pants. Though it was a pretty hot day with a blue, sunny sky he was wearing a dark gray scarf. A voice could be heard coming from inside the shop.

"Thank you again, boy!" It was the shopkeeper's voice.

"You're welcome!" He said of a friendly tone.

He was working as a mechanic and was reparing pretty much anything for cash. As he was putting away his mechanic gloves in his bag he was quietly walking down the street and was waving at some people with a huge smile. He was living here since a year and knew a lot of people. Actually, he has a talent to making friend and he had no enemies. He was humming while looking at the bright sky when he heard a noise coming from an alley near him. When he took a look inside, he saw a teenager with a pink fur coat and a top hat puting a creepy voodoo doll which was the same size as him inside a box with a creepy smile on his face.

The young man thought for a moment and then shrugged.

"(Well, he's doing nothing illegal. No need to pick a fight.)" As he thought that he was going away from the alley.

He was now approaching a small house with a quite huge garage. At the door, he pulled out a key, opened the door and went inside the house.

But as soon as he had closed the door behind him, someone punched him in the stomach and yelled:

"You're late!".

Part 2
"Why did it took you so long! I'm hungry! Hungry!"

The one yelling was actually a girl that looked around thirteen that was wearing a turquoise and black lolita gothic outfit with a miniskirt. On her skirt, purple carps were embroidered and on her left sleeve was a patch with a turquoise carp with a dragon head. Actually she was seventeen years old but no one could tell.

"Geez..." The young man was sitting on the ground with a painful look on his face.

"I already told you again and again to not punch people when you're dissatisfied!"

"But big brother told me to keep training anytime!"

"I'm practically sure that doesn't include punching people like that."

"I don't care! I'm hungry! Hungry!"

"All right, all right. I'll go make lunch."

He sighed.

"(She has the appearance and the behavior of a kid.)"

He was living here with this girl, her twin sister and their "brother" since a year so he was used to this. The two latters were actually out. His friend (the brother) Had go to Beacon Academy with the other sister to talk with the headmaster. The four of them wanted to join the school but none of them ever went to a fighting shool and it was already half of the year. He wasn't sure you could register now. But his friend looked determined when he announced that and he usually trust him. But why did he took the sister with him? The other one didn't stop complaining about her sister's absence.

He really had a bad feeling about this story but couldn't do anything about it.

He suddenly heard the door slamming and turned back. The two were back. The big brother was a tall man with long, dark brown hair and was wearing glasses and an eyepatch on his left eye. He was also wearing a black shirt with numerous tracks of sewing on it and a black pants.On his right shoulder was a patch with a shield surrounded with twelve arrows. The sister looked exactly like her sister except that instead of turquoise and black, her outfit was purple and black and that instead of purple carps she had turquoise butterflies and dragonflies. On her right sleeve was a patch with two purple scimitars with fairy wings.

"Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!" The turquoise girl yelled as she rushed into her sister's arms "You missed me!".

The brother has a serious look on his face but not more serious than usual.

"So?" He asked him "How'd it go?"

"We'll take a test on monday".

"So you did it? But how?"

"You don't really need to know. But know tell me: you went downtown with your slippers again?"

The young man looked at the blue slippers at his feet.

"Well..."
