Its trajectory was to land on the lower tower in its
path at over a thousand feet away and at the height of four thousand feet. The
area for its landing was a mere two hundred feet in length with a width of the
similar dimension. The figure reached the designated tower before lowering its
body frame to decelerate the landing speed. It then moved it upper limbs
forward with the wings acting like landing flaps. The small jet packs on its
waist belt then kicked in to assist in the deceleration. The figure had stopped
at exactly one hundred and eighty feet on the tower rooftop. The wings on its
upper limbs then retracted but it length was maintained.
“Nani?”
The surprised guard on the edge of the rooftop was not prepared for the
appearance of the silent dark figure. The trained specialist in weapons and
fighting techniques thought he had seen the ‘Oni’ or demon in the ancient mythology. The guard delay to the
presence of the dark figure caused his head to be removed. The extended wings
had transformed into a set of deadly blades at over three feet in length. . The
headless guard collapsed onto his knees before falling flat onto his chest.
That was the first in the evening.
My new year resolution; only post the tale when its completed. That above was inspired....no,it was in desperation after EP VII ( I was devastated by the story line... ) so I penned down a near similar universe with a few 'borrowed' characters ( find them in the tale.. ). At about 40K I found out there was so much more to tell. So the tale will expand to Book II soon.
With that I leave you the lines of Miller's Tale by Chaucer: And Absolon hath kist hir nether yea, and Nicholas is scalded in the towte. This tale is doon, and God save al the rowte.”
Yes, the tale I wrote won't pass the PG13 stamp of approval. If you are wondering what the lines above meant, please watch BIG BANG THEORY S4 Ep 08. And heed my caution, your nether-ye may just winked then.
Cheers
