#2 'Normal Dice' :

As the sun began to set over the horizon painting the sky in twilight colors below was the town known as Ace of Spades. Usually this would be when the town would begin to settle down for the evening with shops closing for business and residents winding down for the night in preparation for the next day. However this wasn't the case on this brisk autumn evening, additional lacrima powered lights were lit and newly acquired sources of light in the form of jack o lanterns used for home decorations for the celebration of the holiday that fell on this specific date, it was time for Halloween festivities to begin!

It was the first Halloween for the newly returned Kite and he was pretty excited to take part in what Ace of Spades had to offer for the night. Scattered through out the town were different stations each assigned to host a specific event for the night ranging from simple fun things such as punch tasting and halloween costume contests to the more fear based activity that was meant to test the courage of whoever would dare to participate.

Kite would enter the town near the Red Dragon Inn using the Guilds specific method of entering and exiting the Guild hall. It was always interesting walking through the two realms and experiencing the differences in temperatures and overall weather. His blue hair moved gently with the wind and his red eyes were looking around the area to see just what was possibly instore for him on this very interesting night. Not really having any sort of objective he would pick a direction and begin to walk that way.

The owner of the local bakery would be sitting just outside her door with a bowl homemade sweets such as chocolate candies and the like. Seeing her out and about still the former demon slayer would approach the bakery and wave to her in greeting, "Happy Halloween Mrs.Weinrich!" the older woman would look up at Kite and would greet him in kind with a light hand wave of her own,"Happy Halloween Master Kite! Out trick or treating without a costume?" she would say referring to his usual black colored pants with the little pouch secured to the hip by a belt around the waist also securing a small cloth lined with what would be some sort of fur and his high collared sleeveless shirt tucked into his pants. Kite would gently smile at her greeting but she had referred to him as "Master" which had long since been accurate. "Please its just Kite. I wasn't a fan of the title when I was the Guild Master." but he would laugh this off in order to rid any sort of tension in the air, "I can't say that trick or treating was on my list of things to do. Just looking to see what sort of fun I can get into." She would smile in response. "Well you will need some energy if that is the case. Here take one" she would say while holding up the basket of various chocolates wrapped in some sort of foil. Not looking to insult her kind gesture he would take a one of the chocolates wrapped in the foil with what could possibly be a vampire bat design to it. Kite would smile but out of the corner of his eye notice that over by a large opened tent a strangely dressed woman was just standing at the entrance, staring at him. It wasn't just the stare that caught his notice but there was a strangeness to her that he couldn't quite put his finger on. Was she a mage? Turning his full attention back to Mrs. Weinrich he would smile cheerfully "Thank you again. Have a good night!" and would walk in the direction of the tent waving her goodbye.

Popping the bat shaped chocolate out of the wrapper and into his mouth on route to the tent he would be not at all amaze by just how good it was. He would have to send people over to the bakery go get some. He would finished eating the piece of chocolate just as he reached the woman who had not broken eye contact. Her skin was of a dark complexion with ruby red eyes that had more of a luster than his own eyes. She was in a dress that had many different colors going down the length of the skirt. "Ah yes, I knew you would come visit my booth." she would say without hesitation or doubt. Kite would cross his arms not letting any real expression come across his face, "Noticed you staring at me plus there is something about your aura that is strange. Do you have business with me?" she would peel back the flap of the tent revealing a crystal ball on a round table covered with a cloth that was as flamboyant in color as her dress. "You have business with me actually. Come enter my booth so that I may read what the future has in store for you." Kite would uncross his arms and put them at his sides letting a small smile form. "I see. You are a fortune teller, and how much for your reading?" he would ask as he entered the tent only to stay standing by the chair for her customers. "No charge at all. You see I foresaw that I would be reading your future tonight." she would take her seat placing her hand on the crystal ball that was on the table. "please have a seat and place your hand on the ball." Kite looked at the ball skeptically as he slowly sat in the chair assigned for him. It was times like this that he wished he was still a demon slayer so he could rule that out as to what she was. Placing his hand on the ball he would see her ruby eyes emit a glow that only lasted about a second or two before returning to normal. "See anything of interest?" he would ask while watching her. She would lean in and whisper "Before the night's end you shall find yourself on the receiving end of punch the and becoming the target of a being of legend that will try to take your head with the crown inherited by forged bloodline not by heritage." Kite would look at her "That makes no sense." he would state with his eyes fixed onto hers. Only a smile would appear as she stood up from the table to open the tent for his exit. "If I told you everything it wouldn't be as exciting." Kite would read the signal loud and clear exiting the tent, "Uh thanks I guess?" he would be genuinely thanking her for her service but was leaving with more questions than answers. "Happy Halloween to the Dragon Emperor." Kite would stop dead in his tracks as he turned to face her but she was gone and the tent was empty. Not a lot knew of his new magic, he was able to rationalize that she didn't say that merely to stir the pot but to make it clear just how much she knew from the reading.

Continuing down the street Kite would spend sometime in his own head repeating the exact way she told him the reading. He only paid enough attention outside of his thoughts to avoid bumping into other people or things along the way. "Step up on and all for Ace of Spade's very own Halloween Punch tasting!" Kite would abandon the focus from the reading and would look up at the man who had used white facepaint to draw a skeleton over his facial features."On the receiving end of Punch huh?" Kite had initially suspected that she had meant he would be punched at, it didn't occur to him that she could have referred to the Halloween Tasting event this year. "Well then. Let's give this a taste."

Kite’s attention was immediately drawn to the area that was designated for the punch tasting activity to be held. Kite approached the stand where the the volunteer who was running the tasting had an old school ink well and quill, jotting down names of those who would be participating in the tasting. “Welcome to the punchchchch…” the teen would start to stutter at the end of the word punch when he saw who it was standing in front of him. The kid was clearly awestruck that None other than the former Sabertooth master was before him, “Oh wow! It’s you! Will you be taking part in this?” the kid’s excitement was super noticeable. Kite wasn’t embarrassed by the reaction but he was about as comfortable with this as he was with being called master still. “Yeah that’s right, ugh what’s your name?” He had a question but wanted to do it on equal footing. “Gregory.” He would answer quickly as if he were responding to a direct order or something. “You can relax Gregory. Tell me about this tasting event how does it work?” Gregory would nod and smile before explaining to Kite how the event works, “Oh it’s very simple. All those that partake in the event will be assigned to one of the six punch bowls randomly. When it begins everyone involved will take a drink from their assigned bowl of punch. Each of the Halloween punches will cause a temporary harmless effect to the taster, with the exception of two of bowls, for the duration of the party. The two that do not have any effect are either a trick or treat.” He would pull over a magician’s hat, “would you like to pick your number?” Kite would smirk, “This sounds like it might be entertaining. Count me in.” He would reach into the hat which was a lot deeper than it appeared and grabbed a ball from the bottom. After pulling his arm out it would be revealed to have a number 1 printed on the ball. “You are at Punch Bowl one. Please go to your table and wait for the rest of the contestants.” Kite would nod and do so taking his place at his table. He could hear some murmuring from the spectators and contestants next to him as he stood there.

As the last person got to their bowl the event runner came revealed himself, in a costume that seemed like a mix between the Phantom of the Opera and a magician. “Contestants it is now time for the Ace of Spades’ Halloween Punch tasting. Contestants please hold up your numbered ball exactly as I do please.” He holds up a ball he holding in a position similar to holding a cup or bottle.  Kite and the other contestants do so as well and in a puff of smoke the balls became cups with each one filled with some of the punch from the bowl before them. “Oh this is amusing.” He would say to himself during the moment where no one was doing anything. “Contestants please help yourself to some punch from your cup.” On cue everyone would take a sip from their individual cups. Kite was surprised by how delicious the punch tasted. He and the others that shared his number all continued to drink from cup happily. He suspected that he and the others in his group must have gotten the bowl that had the delicious tasting punch. Curiosity made him look at the others that were participating. One entire group had a look of disgust on their faces. It was obvious they must gotten the nasty punch. He would observe one entire group’s hair turn completely white. Another group didn’t show any signs of change but they were openly looking around their surroundings either confused, annoyed or curiously. The last group wouldn’t have a appearance change but their voices would be acutely high pitched.  He didn’t catch what the other ones had gotten as a result but it was seemingly random.

The night punch was delicious and the night was certainly festive. He was walking to the next activity he wanted to do with a small bag of candy he had acquired from a booth handing out candy. The music that had been playing suddenly stop as the sound of a loud horse’s cry could be heard in the distance. The sound of a horse galloping could be heard in the town and it was growing closer to Kite. The residents began to move away from the beast as it raced towards Kite’s location. His eyes were fixed on the intruder as he and his mount were more identifiable now. Recognizing the danger this was presenting he would flare his aura to create fiery orange aura. The sound a dragon’s roar could be heard. He didn’t move, just stared down the rider of the horse who ironically had no head. The horse would come to a sudden stop out of shock from Kite’s display. Coming up behind Kite was the man who was the event coordinator for Ace of Spade’s festival “it would seem the fortune teller was correct. Former master Kite. Can you handle him?” Kite wouldn’t break the eye to eyeless contact with the rider. “A being of legend looking to take my head. He has come for me. I’ll be the one to end it.” The coordinator snapped his fingers in response to this making magic swirl around him and the Headless Horseman. The world around them would ripple and distort slightly until area around them altered. They were still in what looked like Ace of Spades still decorated for Halloween but there was no one else there. “Legend or not. You will regret coming for my head.” For the first time a voice could be heard, “You head will be a fine replacement for my missing one.”

The time for words had passed for Kite, talking wouldn’t have any purpose here. The horseman would waste his first move by making a slit throat signal, it was clear that the Headless Horseman was letting that legend go to his...head. Kite on the other hand would be sure to make The Horseman pay for that mistake, “Dragon Emperor’s Roar!” He would fire his breath attack colliding with the rider and his horse. He wasn’t happy with that he got hit by Kite’s first attack. The horse would charge towards Kite with the Rider creating a large pumpkin in front of them. It would slam into Kite causing it to explode making Kite be pushed back. He would grin at the grin from being actually pushed back, feeling the excitement from the battle, his aura would grow immensely with flames streaming from the sides of his mouth and his eyes glowing red, “Dragon Emperor’s Supreme Reign.” He would say matter of factly. The headless horseman would reach to where his head would have been to materialize a Jack-o-lantern full of flames and hurl it at Kite. Putting his hands up he would catch it with his hands Causing it to explode on the spot blanketing the area with fire but only for a moment. It would soon reverse its flow back towards and eventually devoured by Kite. “Dragon Emperor's Supreme Flight!” He would say as The flames would surround him in the form of a long serpent like dragon, taking off at the Horseman. Kite o the dragon shaped flames would smash into the horseman knocking him off of his horse and into the ground behind the horse. It wasn’t enough to finish him off but there was significant more damage done. One more big spell would do the trick. Kite was going to attempt the finish but would be kicked by the horse sending him crashing to the ground. Kite wouldn’t be on the ground for very long. “Dragon Emperor’s Migration.” In a flash of flames he was no longer on the ground but directly above the Rider and his horse. “Your head! I’ll have your head!!” He would reach his hand up desperate for it. “Have this instead! “Dragon Emperor’s Draco Crusher!” He his hand would extend towards the Horseman and from it flames would erupt in the familiar form of the dragon that the flames keep shaping into, and would slam into the horseman incinerating him in the blast. As the horse would start to ash away similar to its former owner and they were both gone. Kite would land on the ground where they were keeping his eyes fixed on where the horseman was just a second or so before. With the threat eliminated the ripple in the area around him would shift and he would shift back to the real Ace of Spades with a people surrounding the area he was. Some were frightened by the appearance of Kite while under the effect of Dragon Emperor supreme Reign, the red eyes and fiery aura streaming from his mouth was something that could be intimidating. He would release his concentration on the spell causing it to flicker away like dying fire. The fortune teller would applaud with some of the others following suit. “Happy Halloween to the Dragon Emperor.” That would be the first time that anyone in public would hear that name. “Happy Halloween Ace of Spades! Let’s get the party started again!” Kite's flames would shape around his face in that of a mask similar to the dragon that appears for some of his spells. The night was young and plenty of events to do.
