Well, it’s here, and I thought, what better way to start this shit off, then with yet another journal chapter :P

Distortions: chapter 1

Journal entries of Lumos

Entry 11, July 31st, 2012, 11pm

I have decided to begin making my journal entries once a month, so as to make it last longer, anyway, this month, I’ve had some rather large revelations, the “wind reapers,” are, in fact, exactly what I thought they were: assassins. Oddly enough, their morals remind me a little bit of the assassins guild from Assassins Creed 2/Brotherhood/Revelations. In other news, I have been studying the chaos I’ve absorbed from Discord, so far, I’ve only found one utilization: the metal I mentioned before, since my last entry, I’ve discovered some new things about it:
1) It absorbs the powers of the first person to touch it, and can then only be touched by me, or the “enchanter”.

2) The same enchantment can create a great many results with different weapons and items.

3) Up to two enchantments can be placed onto one item, but they must be placed simultaneously.
So far, following these, I have created several new weapons, but naming them can be done another time, for it is late, and I am tired.

Entry 12, Augest 31st, 2012
Ok, first things first, I have begun my training under Stormy Night, one of the more skilled members of the W.R, and my Oc, let’s just say she was a little surprised that I knew who she was, not that I told her how, I don’t want to destroy the world, now do I? Anyway, I said I would get to naming my new weapons, first is this scimitar I made, I gave it all of my powers of light and darkness, (I mean it copied them, stupid) so I guess its going to be AngelBane version 2.0, but I’ll just leave out the V2 part. Ok, next is this bow I guess, it’s the first time one of my items came out made of wood, rather than metal. I tried to jump the gun a little bit, and tried to give it a triple enchantment, using my dark, my light, and Clares gravity. It worked, but I was out cold for two days, and when I test fired it strait up, it sent out a huge beam that destroyed several clouds, and created a hole in the air itself. It is my most dangerous weapon, and could probably destroy anything it hit, so I’ll call it the Planet Buster.

Third is yet another bow, this one I only put dark into, and its arrows seem to go through the dark realm when I fire them, instantly hitting whatever I want them to. I think I'll call it the "WarpShot"

The last one for today is a bit… different, its more of a mutation that I can activate at any moment, it seems to be made of dark biological matter rather than the normal metal or wood, it turns my entire left arm into five black tintacles, These can, like WarpShot, use the dark realm to hit its targets from random angles, as well as from the inside, after all, there is no LITERAL light inside the body, I’ve devised four attacks I can use these for: First, they are very sharp, so they can stab things, obviously. Second, I can arrange them in a circle, a black pentagram will form, and shoot a beam out of it, its nowhere near as strong as Planet Buster, but it cleared a new path through the Everfree forest, to say the least. Third, the tenticles can all form into one huge drill and dig with surprising efficiency and speed. Finally, they can explode and regenerate, this hurts like fuck though, so I don’t see myself using it in the near future, but I still need to name it, I suppose… “Tendril” will work.

PS: It turns out that chaos and darkness are linked, meaning i can convert one to the other. Light and law powers have a similar connection.

Entry 13, September 30th, 2012
Today I met some new people, yes, that’s right, I found more humans, four in fact, and they helped me create more weapon enchantments, their abilities are as follows, their leader, who is a stereotype jock, with short brown hair, has earth based abilities. The one who seems to do all the thinking, who has spikey blonde hair, has control of the air, this is very, VERY useful so far. The other two are a bit odd, one is a girl who always is covering herself up has poison based powers. Finally, there is a guy who has spikey, red and yellow (obviously dyed) hair, he has two powers somehow, fire, and electricity, both have been fun to work with in weapon creating, him on the other hand... not so much.

This month I created a new spear, its brown, obviously, and has powers of earth from the jock, who is named Stan (so creative) and gravity from Clare, who I had to tell Stan to back down and stop flirting with at least a dozen times, anyway, the spear is called the TriQuake. Using the wind powers of the spikey blond haired man, who came up with the code name Ventus, worked with the man with dyed red and yellow hair to create a sword I call Tai Fuu No Me, which means Eye of the Storm, it has water, lightning and wind based powers, obviously.

I also used the poison girl’s power with Shade’s smoke, to create a poison dagger, which, after testing on a manticore, I determined could kill anyone in 5 second after a cut was made, and dubbed it unsafe to use, promptly sending it, permanently to the dark realm, hopefully I won’t step on it next time I pass through, right?

Finally, I created my only attempt at five enchantments on one object, and let’s just say, I lost my left hand, the rest lost nothing, It got the powers of Gravity from Clare, water from Aqua, Fire from Sparky, who is refusing to give his name, and light and dark from me, it can create portals between two places, but they can only exist in spots light is directly touching, I’ve also noticed that only one pair of portals can exist at any time, I call it the gate wand. I also replaced my left hand with a mechanical piece of this metal, enchanted with my light, my darkness, and Sparky’s lightning.

PS: I’ve been feeling odd lately, a bit more… I don’t know… just odd...
PSS: My law powers seem to put limits on things, while chaos breaks any limits preexisting to its activation.

Lumos’ POV

I put down my pen, after writing my most recent journal update, and stretched, as it was now time for my training with Stormy Night. For some reason, the Wind Reapers were more than happy when I asked for them to train me. It was almost as though they expected something of me… Nah, couldn’t be it. I walked outside, conjured and charged my D-board (dark board, dark starts with D, you see?), and took off toward the plains below Cloudsdale. For some reason, ever since my transformation, I’ve not exactly been fond of using dark passageways, and only used them when absolutely necessary. On my way there from my cloud house, I saw Stan, once more harassing Clare, only for her to mercilessly throw him to the side using her gravity. I laughed at the spectacle below as I passed.

Upon arriving at the training area, I was shocked to find Ventus standing there instead of Stormy, upon seeing my confusion, he grinned, and said, “What, you thought you were the only human in the wind reapers? The higher ups decided that it was time you trained with one of your own kind, the rules are the same, no powers, only our own skill.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he dropped into a fighting stance. I sighed, and complied. Immediately he ran straight at me, stopping just short of me, and aimed a roundhouse kick at my head, I lifted my left arm next to my head to block, only for it to go over my arm, and come straight down on my head. I immediately felt something grabbing the back of my shirt, followed by being lifted up, and punched in the gut; I coughed up a bit of blood from the hit. I then lifted my legs up, and kicked him in the chest with both, falling to the ground. This was immediately followed by getting up, grabbing his arms, and throwing him a decent distance, about 12 meters, maybe. He stood up, and grinned, dropping his stance, and walking toward me.

A few feet away, I saw something flash in his eyes, and he threw a punch at me, hitting me right in the jaw. The hit was obviously pulled, as it didn't break my jaw, but it still hurt. I stumbled back, and said "how about we take things up a notch?" and created two rapiers. one right in front of me, and one in front of him, he caught it, and it turned grey, with wind streaks on it. Mine, on the other hand, obtained a black handle and hand guard, a white blade, and white pommel.

"Only the color comes from our powers, they don't actually absorb any of the 'real' power we have." I explained, dropping into a fencing stance.

He dropped into the same stance, and muttered something that sounded like "En guard." This just widened our grins, and then we began again. I tended to try a rapid stab, taking the offensive. Unfortunately, he saw one of my openings, and nicked my arm, causing me to drop my sword, as he swung it again at me, i rolled to the side, and backed away. I then rushed around him, grabbing the blade from the ground, and charged. By this point, the pegasi were flying down from Cloudsdale to watch, most bringing small clouds, and a few making bets

We kept at it for over an hour, with me creating larger and larger weapons for us to use, ending with clamorous. It ended with him Lopping off my mechanical hand, and then disarming me. All happening in under 20 seconds from when i created the monsterous blades. Mumbling 'lucky shot,' I reached down to grab my hand, only to see he had already picked it up, and was holding it out, a huge grin on his face.

I reattatched my hand, and opened my mouth to speak, but suddenly i felt an odd pain in my stomache. Ventus seemed to have noticed my pain, because he put his hand on my shoulder, and said "hey, are you alright, bro?"

I couldn't respond, the pain was spreading to every point of my body, including the tips of my wings (remember, i have four) and a pulsating, multi-colored aura (which I recognized as chaos) was beginning to form around me. Ventus' eyes widened suddenly, and screamed something to the pegasi, who immediately flew away. I then noticed Clare running toward us, suddenly, the aura around me, as well as the pain, all burst away, in one, huge blast. Then all was black.

A/N:And cue the blackout, anyway, I would love it if someone could help me with finding a good cover art for this.
