The Heavens Are Mourning

After seeing her smile, something about her had me on edge, and I don't know why but my body was on the right track as me, because she's dangerous. Yet in turn I don't want it to be true, she seems nice, but also really scary.

"Megan, stop scaring the girl," the one who invited me said shaking her head, and rolling her eyes the other girl clicked her tongue, "I'm just messing with her Elena..."

But Elena shook her head, and looking back over to me she said, "Look we're all friends here," and I get that, but for some reason, I feel like I'm about to be attacked too.

"So you two need to get along, get all this hostility out of the air," she said but then Megan the vampiress spoke to her, "What hostility? We're just having a civil talk! Right?!"

Looking at me, "Yeah," I agreed to deescalate this any more than it could have arisen, "See! You're just going mad, humph!" she pouted actin' all defensive suddenly.

And Elena just laughed? Shaking her head and saying back to her, "Fine, seems like I was overreacting~" but then she grabbed Megan's chin, lifting her head up and getting her to open her eyes, as she then began to say.

"But I'm not stupid neither, so chill, or I'll punish you..."

"Again~" she said with a brief pause, making Her blush?

"How long are we talking~" Megan sweetly said back??

And this was wrecking my mind because it turned from a hostile moment to something I'd see in some novel. . .

But then coughing, one of the other girls said, "Anyways so ignoring those love birds–" she said n I finally caught on to what was happening! Holy crap they're flirting! ! !

I... Can't believe I didn't catch on any sooner. I'm dumb.

Looking away and over to the others, like the two next to me and the one left of Elena, "Wait, so what happened?" I asked to join in on their conversation, to evade... That.

And looking at me the girl next to Elena, I think her name was Beck, Becky? Something with a -cky? Said to me.

Saying, "The Heaven's have begun mourning" but then again, I didn't get what she was saying, the Heavens?

"What do you mean," I asked, and she looked in front of me to one of the girls, "Tell her what you heard from the missionary that you overheard, Trix," she asked her.

And looking right of me to the girl at the far end, turning her head to me she said in a low voice, "Okay, from what I heard, basically the entirety of the 15th continent, Jyuu Yon, just vanished, they called it the work of Darkness"

She whispered but that had me full of questions???

"Wait, so what do mean by... It vanished?" I asked.

And sighing, the girl next to me opened her mouth, "To be honest we don't know?" she said nonchalantly and hadn't seemed to give a damn about the matter untill-

"But if you ask me, things like this don't just happen and I think I have a theory on what actually happened here" I heard her fully and tensed up as this began to get juicy.

Mainly because it was giving me chills down my spine...

"Alright shoot," Trixy said to the girl, I think Maya.

"Many years ago, I heard tales from passing drifters, it's not too important to what they were about but there was this one that stuck out to me, it was about a whore, one from an old kingdom centuries ago, he lived in a brothel and was quite liked by the people all around, and not just for his special services, but his overall personality an–"

But cutting Maya off, Becky said, "What does some man whore have to do about the heavens crying like a baby?"

"I'm getting there. . .Can I finish..." Maya asked annoyed.

Shrugging, Maya continued, "Well anyways, he wasn't just another whore, he cultivated a family at the brothel he lived in and even got along with the owner and also a friend of the owner who ran another brothel, gradually the other brothel owner fell in love with the whore, but she was... How do I say, sworn to the king, I guess she was just a brothel owner out of spite or something for discrimination against her kind because I have no idea why she would do what she did, but either way, back to the story, he fell in love with her too, and just as the two of them got together, the kingdom was attacked, undeads like us who served some Lich, it was a whole thing back then, but she readied to fight, he begged her not to, but she had to anyways, and I guess he followed because when she died, the grief made him bare arms and pick up a weapon, eventually the man whore began to get noticed by a few nobles as he was doing whatever to slay our ancestors and make money, yet despite how I depict it, I think I favor that man, because little did they, the nobles know, that man managed to get the favors of the gods, and I bet he must have slept with one too, as when he was captured by the nobles, he was saved by an angel of the heavens, and regained his freedom, yet the whore felt empty without his other half and moved forward, throwing himself at danger until one day, as he was on the brink of death, he made a deal with the gods and became one of their holiest warriors..." she said but then scratched her head, "Yeah... I don't remember it all"

But clicking back to it, "But it's all true, and that man had lived for centuries! Eventually settling into the continent next to ours... The very same one that was... Erased..."

Hitting her hand together, "Therefore! My theory is that something was released, like demons and fighting with all his powers! He, sacrificing his soul, trapped all of the enemies along with the continent into a rift between the fabrics of space and time, until the battle settles or he... Well, we already know the other part. Or if he dies..." she exclaimed as she had a hint of sorrow in her voice now.

Not really getting it all, I patted her shoulder, "Actually, was he a friend of yours? Maya?" I said asking her and she scratched her cheek, "Friend...Maybe some closer"

Shocking the three of us around her, "What!" the other girl yelled and Becky hit her hand on the table, which had even got the girl left of me looking over at us.

But turning her head, closing her eyes, and being bold, Maya exclaimed, "Alright! I heard a bit of the story from my mom back when I was in her nest, because I had asked about what I heard from a drifter I wanted to consume, and apparently, that man might be my..."

Lowing her head, "Possible but not likely, he's my dad"

Saying that sounded crazier than the story she just told and it had the others going crazy, not just the three of us around her were questioning and asking about it, but the other girls joined in, apparently they heard the story she told and now were jumping all over her about it, which I got, but at the same time, was confused about... Cuz...

Why does it have anything to do with heaven weeping?

I feel like we ended up getting off track with this...
