As Fates wheel turns times. [Eu/Shin]

[ritsuko]

As the sound of windows shut, the dark aura following and emitting from the small girl, her hair waving in the breeze with her dress, parts of it being kept down in the metal armor that was on her. She paused, her metallic blue eyes shifting to the fairy tail entrance. Turning her head to face it, she watched everybody play and mess about in it before turning and walking onward. She never really spent much time with them and generally arrived to take missions at night. As she headed towards the hill that steeped down throughout the market place and docks, she stopped to gaze out at the sea as it seemed to crash against rocks in the dark sky. The snow splattered around her, everything silent and mysterious.

Not a word escaped her lips, not a grimace or sign of expression against the cold wind. She moved her hand to her face as a snow drop hit her cheek, the cold feeling falling down her cheek. She looked up to the sky, eyes squinting to avoid droplets in her eyes. Her long silver hair flowing against the stronger wind where the sea crashed, as she turned and walked down the hill - the crispy crunchy sound of the snow beneath her boots, the metal armor chiming and ringing.

In an alley way, she could hear people talking and laughing - an evil discussion between them, clearly ruffians. They caught her gaze, she silhouetted in the darkness and they went to move towards her before suddenly a light flashed in their eyes, or actually fear as they realized she dared no move and wasn't going to fight, but the aura around her stated she did mean a threat and they turned back to their discussion like nothing had happened.
Eucliwood turned again, she headed towards the park where it was more sheltered from the snow and sat down on a bench. Leaning back, she watched some kids play in the snow in the far opposite area of the park.

Rubbing his eyes, Shinzu allowed his long black sleeve to absorb most of the moisture before collapsing his eyes into a squint, a poor attempt at avoiding the numerous specs of snow which would shimmer strongly against the sun as they descended. "Light... Being bathed in it can only cause pain." He muttered to himself before once again wiping off the melted droplets of snow that had collected around his eyes, which ironically were the result of keeping his eyes steady and squinted this entire time instead of wide open, which would have allowed the simple task of blinking to remove the snow for the teen before it would even get the chance to melt.

Feeling rather lonesome, Shinzu had decided to prowl the streets and quite simply follow his nose until something interesting would pop up. This however was made slightly more difficult by the knee high coat the teen had decided to wear on top of his usual attire, something which would make the simple task of walking rather arduous and difficult due to how easy the bottom section was to trip over. Despite the occasional buckling over himself however, is was undeniable that the coat was doing its job of keeping the mage nice and toasty.

Starting to lose himself in his thoughts, Shinzu's thoughts would pop back onto reality as a bright light pierced his retinas in the form of a angelic figure. Walking closer to this apparent deity, a closer inspection would reveal her to be a simple white haired girl clad in metallic armour, such being the source of all the light reflecting off her. "My my, did you perhaps take a wrong turn at the last time period? If it weren't for all the others around us, I would have come to the conclusion that someone had started some sort of medieval war." If mocking the mysterious girls choice of attire wasn't bad enough, the teen would add further insult to injury by poking at her cheek in order to gain her undivided attention.

[ritsuko]

The second she heard Shinzu's voice, her metallic blue eyes whipped towards him. The sight of his finger moving closer to her cheek sort of tweaked a nerve inside her, quickly she grabbed her pen and pushed it down so the end came out. After a few seconds, she stabbed him in the finger before grabbing the notepad and writing down in it.
Holding the notepad up, her metallic blue eyes moved towards Shinzu once again and she drummed her fingers against the notepad as to telling him to read.

On the notepad, there was words.
"You do not come up to someone just to insult and then touch them when the two of you aren't even close." She lowered the pad, to write down some more when she was sure he had read it and dismissed any chance of replying. Holding it up again, the paper had something new.
"Now, let's try that again shall we?" She waited for Shinzu read before lowering the paper down and looking around before back at him.

Her small hand moved out towards him, clearly asking for a handshake and she kept her gaze focused intently on him with her lips pursed in a straight line and her emotionless gaze awaiting his hand to react. No smile came to her lips, no kindness appeared over her face - she was emotionless, or what seemed it.
She didn't even seem to be hiding from the wind and snow or showing any sight of being cold.

[Shinzu]

Shinzu's eyes would lock with the strange girls, causing the image of her deep blue iris to burn into his retinas. Against her pale skin and white hair, they really did look almost mesmerizing. This thought would quickly end however as the teen howled in pain as something stabbed his finger, which a quick look down would reveal to be a pen held by the demon revealing her true nature. "Gah, you little devil!" Taking a step back away from her, the mage would almost snarl as his skin began to flash red around the area she had attacked him.

About to retaliate against her, Shinzu would find himself once again distracted as she began writing something down. "So you're a mute, perhaps?" The teen would then rub his fingers softly against his chin, almost as if he was contemplating his answer deeply. "I didn't really insult you however, you just simply interpreted it that way. Surely I can't be to blame for your inability to take a little teasing." Like a lawyer that had successfully defended his case, the mage would then give the widest grin before grabbing hold of the girls extended hand.

"The name is Shinzu, how about you my lovely lady in armour?" While on the topic of the armour, Shinzu would begin staring at it intently, which for the girl probably looked as if he was trying to use x-ray vision to see right through it. In reality however, the teen was merely analyzing how still her body was, which for the most part wasn't even showing any signs of shaking or shivering despite the cold weather. "Say, aren't you cold in that? Surely you must be freezing."

[ritsuko]

Eucliwood watched him intently as he spoke to her, she just closed her eyes for a few seconds and then sighed before opening her blue eyes afterward.

She pressed her finger to her lips before shifting her gaze towards the paper and noting something down and holding it up. "I'm not mute, I just don't want to talk." She lowered down the paper, and realized he was staring at her, she felt the wind brush through her body, and then listened to his next question.
She wrote down on the paper. "Yes, I am cold." She held it up, before blinking as if it was an obvious question. She lowered it down and wrote on the next page before holding it up. "Aren't you? I imagine it's more painful when you got stabbed." she waited for him to read it before pressing her hands to her lap and awaiting his response, closing her blue eyes slowly and opening them after just to sigh before writing down on the paper once more.
"What are you doing here? I sense danger around you." She held up the paper afterward, cocking her head to the side and awaited his responses.

[Shinzu]

"Not a mute, so then you just enjoy writing for the fun of it?" Unable to think of why someone wouldn't wish to talk when graced by Shinzu's company, the best conclusion he could come to was that she was a budding writer that was practicing her skills by writing down everything instead of speaking. "You're quite odd." He stated in a rather cruel manner at her response to being cold. "Why not consider dressing in something slightly more appropriate for the weather then rather than that tin can?" Sensing that her response was probably going to be something like 'I like my armour', the mage decided to simply drop the subject and carry on.

"Pain? I had already forgotten about that!." As if to prove his point, Shinzu would poke the reddened mark on his hand, which the cold weather had already numbed anyway. "Besides, ever since losing my memories random people seem to be attacking me quite often anyway..." The teen would then focus on the girls next set of questions, one of which being particularly interesting. "Danger? Around little old me?" Pointing at himself with a rather cheesy and childish grin, the mage would almost laugh at the knights accusations, though this would quickly end as his expression suddenly grew slightly more dark. "Then again, I don't know what I'm doing here or who I am. So who can really say? Perhaps I am more dangerous than even I realise."

[ritsuko]

Eucliwood listened to him before glancing down at her clothes. She wrote down on a paper as he spoke about her being odd and held the paper up. "At least I don't wear black and act so strangely." she placed it down and leaned back before watching him and tilting her head, silver hair following her cheek and trailing down the side of her chin and past her neck.

She grabbed the notepad and scribbled down when he spoke about being old. She held it up and she blinked her metallic blue eyes. She held the paper up after having written on it. "No, No. I'm sure I'm older." She lowered it and then listened to him proceed more. More and more paper seemed to pile up beside her.

She wrote down on another piece, realizing the paper was almost finished and blinked her eyes. "You're a mysterious one alright, forgetting such simple things and having memory loss is certainly signs of an obvious amnesiac. I suppose you're a strange and mysterious one yourself." She lowered the paper and turned it over, deciding to finally stop with the taking one piece and not using both sides of the paper.

Her stomach rumbled and she glanced down at her stomach, a sort of blunt expression appeared on her face and she held up another piece of paper saying "hungry."
She looked up at Shinzu, looking rather hopeful despite her gaze burning deep into that of his.

[Shinzu]

"...At least I don't wear armour and act so strangely." He said in a humorous tone in retaliation. Feeling a cold chill seep into his clothing, Shinzu's stance would stiffen slightly as he moved his limbs closer to his body as to evenly share as much of his body heat with himself as possible. "Say, you never did mention your name?" Finding it rather rude how the girl had forgotten to mention her name despite the fact that the teen had so openly revealed his, he felt the slight temptation to punt her gently, however in the end decided not to out of fear of being assaulted by that pen again.

"Hm?" Shinzu asked out of curiosity as the girl mentioned something about being older. Leaning forwards like he was about to kiss her, he instead left his face hanging in the air for a few moments as he studied her features. "You don't look that much older, perhaps nineteen at best?" The moment would then end as the mage struggled to read the essay the girl had just written down on what looked like her last few pieces of paper. "Well such things cant be helped. Besides, it does seem like I am slowly regaining them with each new person I talk to."

Shinzu's attention would then shift as he heard a faint rumbling in the air, which was followed by the girl holding up a piece of paper which expressed in a rather simple term, just how hungry she was. "Fancy some lunch? However, don't think I am paying after how violently you attacked me earlier." With a playful grin, the teen extended his arm outward, like how someone would escort notability. Out of fear of being attacked again however, he did so cautiously so that he would be able to retract his arm out of harms way in a moments notice if needed. "What would you like to fill your belly with?"

[ritsuko]

Eucliwood tilted her head, seeming to of realized that she had in fact forgotten. Her gaze trailed towards the paper and she tapped it thoughtfully. Instantly after, she scribbled down on the paper and held it up. "Eucliwood HellScythe is my name" She lowered it down, just to hold up another piece of paper with the number 190 on it. She lowered it down to look up at him as he leaned away and then stood up, revealing her small size compared to him.

As she heard him ask about food, she trailed her gaze towards the paper and then held it up to him, on it was a picture of some triangle shaped sandwiches. She glanced towards him with interest as she spoke about paying, causing her to put her hand in her pocket and bring out a small brown bag filled with jewels. She waved it around, the small sound of clanging coming from within it before lowering it down and back into her pocket.

As she wrote down on the paper again, she held it up. "So tell me, what did you forget and can remember glimpses of?" she held it up just long enough for him to read it before sliding the paper into her pocket and heading in a direction just to look back and see if he was following, her metallic blue eyes curious if he would follow or head off elsewhere.

[Shinzu]

"HellScythe... My, what a intimidating last name." Although it was hard enough taking the armour wearing maniac seriously, Shinzu just couldn't help but smirk slightly as he repressed a chuckle from escaping his lips at the sound of that rather scary last name coupled together with the girls rather child-like demeanor. If things weren't bad enough, Eucliwood would then proceed by holding up a piece of paper with the number one hundred and nighty written on it.

Pondering over the meaning to this closely, Shinzu would soon come to the conclusion that perhaps she was referring to her age, though he would quickly shrug this theory off as he quickly realized that the mere idea of this was preposterous. "I certainly hope that is referring to how many days old you are because you don't have a single wrinkle on you. Well you know, except that tiny one near your nose." The teen joked mockingly before retreating a few steps away as to avoid being attacked.

Shinzu would then take notice of some triangles Eucliwood would draw on her paper. "Ah very well! We shall have those." Clearly, he was bluffing and had absolutely no clue what she had just drawn. Regardless, a shake of her jewel bag would reveal to the teen that she was indeed willing to pay, leaving him with no real reason to argue about where they were going to eat. "Alright, its your treat." He would say before following her, just to confirm that she was indeed going to have to pay for both of them. While walking on however, the mage would think deeply about the question she had just asked. "I was attacked by Shiva Reese, though that is not why I lost my memories... I remember glimpses of..." With a quick shrug, he would look away from Eucliwood before focusing his attention on the scenery as if to express just how little he wanted to finish the last part of his sentence. "But that would be impossible..."

[ritsuko]

Eucliwood looked towards him when he questioned about her age in days. She counted her fingers silently to assure how old she would of been if she was 190 days. She closed her hand and shifted her gaze towards him, shaking her head slowly. She held up a paper saying years before turning her gaze away and walking away towards the destination shop. Her hair followed the breeze of the wind, pressing her fingers to her cheeks as she seemed a little bothered.

She glanced towards him as he spoke about wrinkles and her eyes moved down towards her nose before shaking her head slowly and shrugged. She wrote down on the paper "Joking as you may see it be, it is the truth. I'm a Necromancer - not a mage. I've been frozen at this age." She held it towards him for a few seconds and then placed it into her pocket with the book.

She looked at each shop, her shoes hitting the floor through the thick, dense snow. Suddenly she halted, her gaze trailing towards the shop beside her. Looking towards Shinzu, she headed in and sat down; placing the bag on the table and just waited for Shinzu to arrive.
As he had insinuated, she will be paying. She didn't really offer to, was just showing she had money. If that was what he wanted, then she would.

[Shinzu]

"Years... One hundred and ninety years..." He mumbled, as if to express just how little he wanted to believe her. She would then go on to explain something about being a necromancer and freezing herself in time. "That's some pretty powerful magic... Especially if you were able to preserve your body for that long. But lets say you did not do that, how old would you be originally?" Still unable to believe that this girl possessed such powers, Shinzu simply said that to humor her along and to find out her 'real' age.

The duo would then head into a shop and sit on a table so that they were facing each other. Not wanting to waste any time in making himself feel at home however, Shinzu squirmed around in his chair until he found a comfortable enough position before focusing his attention on Eucliwood. "I shall have whatever you are having." Clearly having more to say however, the teen would allow a more serious expression to take hold of his face before he decided to continue. "The Deadly Crow virus... What do you know of it?"

[ritsuko]

Eucliwood gave him a look that shown she hadn't been joking. Her metallic blue gaze just shifted towards the paper in front of her and her lips parted to say something, before she closed them and began to write.
"If I hadn't been, I would be 19." She wrote down, passing him the paper before placing the pen back down.

"I've been told very little about the Deadly Crow virus. I've been warned several times to be careful on where I venture has some areas possess more danger towards this virus than others do." She leaned back and pressed the pen to her lips as she thought of what to "say" next.
As she leaned down, she began to write more.
"If I was to sum up my knowledge on this said virus, I'd say it was something to be feared by." As she passed the paper, she tapped the pen against the sheet before adding another bit of writing to the pad in front of her.
"My armor is what holds my magic underneath. As I progress in my training here, my magic will become to seep out more until I wont be able to stop it. I can't guarantee how much more time I have living, but as long as I slow down my training I could possibly become a walking warfare object." She shrugged and added more. "Ridicule all you want, I see it in your eyes like I see the pain from past hardships and love, the pain from wanting what you can't get. I see you more than you realize." As she passed the paper, she glanced towards the waitress and nodded before pointing towards a picture of a white bread that was cut neatly into triangles with lettuce sticking out either side.

The waitress nodded and turned towards Shinzu to gather what he wanted, just to be called back by Eucliwood as she gently tugged at the waitress' arm. Shortly after, the waitress turned and left before returning with the plate of sandwiches.
Eu carefully took one and parted it, just to take out some tomatoes and dice them up before placing them back into the sandwich and taking a small bite.

[Shinzu]

"Nineteen?" Shinzu would squint his eyes as he questioned her statement. Although this was slightly more realistic than being one hundred and ninety, the teen couldn't help but reject how this tiny girl was claiming to be the same age as him. "Did that spell of yours also manage to somehow reverse your process of puberty?" The mage would then sit back and take in Eucliwood's explanation of the Deadly Crow virus, his eyes all the meanwhile growing more solemn as she did so.

"So you see it as something to be feared?" As he spoke, Shinzu would rub his left hand against his back, almost as if he was hiding something under his clothing. "Oh? So taking off your armour would release all your magical power and kill you. But in those few moments, I wonder if you would get a massive power boost... Shall we test that theory?" As if to say he was only teasing her, the teen simply gave her a smile which would be replaced by a rather curious look etched onto his face as a thought popped into his head. "Say... If you cant take that armour off, how do you... You know."

Shinzu would then grin at Eucliwood's next statement. "The pain from wanting what I can't have? All I want are my memories, and every second with you seems to be conjuring new and more clearer images in my head." Rather inelegantly, the teen would grab a sandwich as they arrived before proceeding by shoveling it down his throat like a man who had not seen food for weeks. "Purple crow... A purple shaped crow, that is the mark of someone infected by the Deadly Crow, correct?"

[ritsuko]

Eu's gaze met his, she narrowed her eyes slightly as if something he said had insulted her, but she shook her head and brushed off the bothersome thought.
She began to write once more in an attempt to explain to the male.
"What I know about the deadly crow virus is nothing more than a story passed on from one another. I know not of the true virus, but I know it's something that many people fear. I don't know if it's a sickness or if it's an insanity complex. All I know is that people hide from what could cause this." She passed the paper over towards him before writing more.

"I don't know just what will happen, I just know that the power will get too out of hand until I am able to control it, that's why I don't talk. It hurts my head to talk due to all the emotions I've had to give up. They're still there, just can't be revealed physically like you show your hunger." As he scoffed down the sandwich, she passed him the paper, and then began to note down once more.

"What do YOU know about the Purple Virus, Shinzu? It seems you have a lot of problems on your hand as it is, alongside the ex guild master of Shiva causing problems for you. I hear things, if not from you, by other people. I intake what I hear and see if I can seek out." she glanced up towards him and passed him the paper once more, her lips still pursed in a straight line.
