On the eastern continent of the earth, in a small little town that hardly got any attention, was a festival currently being held in honor of the stars and the meeting of those from the stars. Though it was not a large celebration, held only in the smallest corner of the world were no one disturbed them. In this small town, the joyous moment had arrived and the bells rang. The joy in the air as children sang a choral as they danced about the parading stick figures held up by men who marched and erratically moved, as if to say the creature they portrayed was evil. A dragon that brought fire down upon the town. A sort of play was happening as they marched.
The first spoke of a dragon that came seeking to conquer their world, destroying a large city and millions lost their lives. Then following them was a man dancing as the gallant star warrior who had come to save them all. Behind him was the next line of the story, one that Taiyo cared not to pay much more attention too.
The wounded man sat on the sidelines, sipping away at his whiskey while the parade marched. Normally a cheerful man, Taiyo had been feeling rather dark lately. Having lost his twin spirits, their absence like a gaping wound in his chest. He felt empty inside, even as the joys rang from children who once warmed his heart, now they simply echo emptily in his chest. He kept his eyes on the parade but the lights that danced before him were just distractions from his thoughts.
It wasn't till the sudden intrusion from nearby gunfire did the sword monk's eyes spark back to life once more. He searched for the source only to see a bunch of teenagers who had decided to get drunk and rowdy on festival evening. Punks who wished to seek attention only to spark fear into everyone inside. Children clinging to mothers while they frantically tried to get away in a growing crowd of fearful people. The sword monk didn't raise a hand yet, as no one had been hurt, but the elders of the village were already scolding their young peers.
Yet it was clear the situation was getting heated, as words began to turn into shouts. Taiyo only watched on with half interest, he didn't want to fight again... he had failed back then with Shade and now... now he had paid the price most dear to him. His heart was asunder... he felt devastated on a level he could not begin to explain to another soul. Now he was simply drinking his sorrow away with shouting from angry elders and youngsters.

Serena was enjoying the vacation at the festival with all the new sites to see and food to try! To her it was a wonder land for the young majin that gave her so many experiences that made her head spin. She was enjoying the day thanks to her company spending a bit of money on her so she could relax. She didn't understand all the reasons why but they had explained to her that she had been found out as a hero during the liari disaster. The publicity for the company had then getting job offers and sponsorship from multiple sources.
The truth was Serena didn't care to understand all the details other the then she had benefited the company and they were repaying her. Well as long as she allowed them to use her image or somthing along those lines. But thanks to that she had a nice vacation, extra cash in her wallet and great food. Unfortunately all that was being disturbed suddenly by the fighting between the two groups. With a sigh the red majin got up and stepped between the two groups with a shout.
"" your disturbing my vacation! There great food everywhere and your fighting! ""
One of the youths the leader probally growled at Serena after he got over his initial shock of a loud rambunctious majin interrupting his argument. "" ohh how dare a majin like you say a single word to me! You freak! "" he jammed the gun an inch from her face. Unfortunately this proved pointless as Serena quickly before he could react bite the gun barrel and without wasting a moment reached forward and pulled the trigger. There was several muffled gunshots making everyone freeze. "" bang! Bang! Bang!"" Everyone nearby flinched at every gun shot. Finally the gun clicked empty and every stared at the Majin who slowly let go of the barrel with a mouthful bullets clicking around in her jaws.
"" Ish nahg good ""
The youths and even some of the old timers began to back away from the Majin before suddenly the center of attention Serena the youth leader dead in the eye and began to chew the metal with a grinding noise that made one skin crawl before suddenly shouting boo making the entire group runaway screaming. She kept chewing for several moment before suddenly spitting the bullets all out onto the ground "" yuck! Ewwwwww never doing that again! Looked so much cooler on tv!"" Ignoring the flabbergasted elders and family's she went back to her chair directly across from what looked like a old style vagrant or bum. He did have a cool sword but looked a little…ragged be a good word for the old man.
Pulling up a comic she ignored the whispers around her as she studied the pages intently. Finally a single eye left the pages and stared at the bum for a moment before the other joined its sibling. "" heeeey mister what are they doing?"" Serena turned the comic around to show two adventures from some comic making out on the pages."" Is this something humans do? "" of course this was the first page so Serena had no context to base it off of. So she figured she would ask a local and the bum seemed like the calmest person here.

Taiyo was about to jump in when the girl, a majin by the looks of her, scared them away with a rather comical manner of chewing on metal. Taiyo simply chuckled as he watched her only to lower his eyes back to the table in thought. if the spirits had disappeared, he could go back to where he originally found them and- His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the same majin who had come to ask about a comic book. The distracted sword monk's eyes turned to it, only to lean back so he could see the pictures better. It was a couple, kissing by the looks of it and they were lovers. Perhaps the context was a long awaited reveal of the two in the story, but with no way to tell it was hard to say.
"In cases of love yes. Most species I believe use kissing as a form of affection for someone really special and that they love. It should not be used on friends or strangers, its considered rude and makes people uncomfortable."
Taiyo stated as he looked the girl over, she was a majin alright, but how old he could not tell. Perhaps she had been living away from society and as such didn't develop this sorts of skills.
"Have you not seen people showing affection like this before?"
Taiyo was not going to let a youngster go uneducated if he could help it. While it was a strange topic, perhaps one most would consider inappropriate to a degree, Taiyo was of the mind of helping educate those who wish to learn. He didn't wish to pass judgement not knowing her side of the story first.

Serena was learning a lot about the world recently and by no means dumb when it came to things like the basic skills. Where she seemed to have a problem was understanding the nuances of other people and how they interacted with each other. An example she understood kissing was meant for the one you loved or were married to. “” I have seen it…and it only served to confuse me a bit more. When i read up on it i saw it was a thing of affection with your spouse…then i saw a mommy kissing a kids owie…a grandma kissing a child goodbye.”” tilt her head slightly off to the side The Majin seemed to be watching something behind the monk like person before her eyes moved back to observe the monk.
“” Like that young couple behind you…they are way too young to be married from what I understand and they are kissing”” If the monk turned and looked he would see that some young high schoolers were making out on the little hill above them in a typical high school romance. Of course Serena didn't seem to understand it was rude to stare ether and with eyes as big and bright as her there was no way anyone couldn't tell what she was looking at. And right now she was looking straight at the monk. “” You know ... .i ask you since you looked a little lonely…well now you looked Sad like something was bothering you. I am not the smartest Gumball but feel free to talk if you like. My coworkers always seem to tell me their life stories. “”
Serena was being intrusive and she knew it. But the monk had looked extremely sad, like he had been hurt in the heart much like she had been when her friend had died to Liari or she had thought he died anyway. Being alone was the worst thing she thought as it made you dwell in bad thoughts and never seemed to get any better. “” If nothing else, drinking alone is no fun. Always wanted to give it a try myself…but look at me rambling.'' Getting up, Majin moved to one of the nearby stalls and briefly spoke to the bartender before coming back with a bottle of Rum. “” Want to split it? The bartender said I would not like anything but the fruity kind ...said it matched my fruitcake personality. “” Serena smiled her impish grin at the monk. She knew she was intruding. She knew she was badgering him but it seemed like he needed it and Serena couldn't help but wonder what could bother a man as strong as he KI read.

Taiyo simply smiled as the girl spoke up about the young couple behind him, to which the man simply laughed. His gaze returned to the girl, and she then revealed the truth as to why she had approached. Perhaps in some ways it was her round about way to distract him, but the lose of his sword spirits was akin to having his two arms severed. Never before had he experienced such hollowness, not even when his wife was taken by that awful disease.
"My dear, I believe those young people are attracted to one another. They share a connection of the heart, probably from a long fruitful relationship... If not, then I hope they eventually do. But Kissing is reserved for the truly beloved of ones heart. That incase of a mother kissing their child, their own flesh and blood, their very cells turned to living flesh... That is a bond we can never understand serena, but it goes beyond just love."
Taiyo made it clear that a mother and son relationship was not something to consider inappropriate and the reason for it was beyond their reach.
"But my troubles my dear are my own. In time I will find out how to solve them. I'd rather not bother you with an old man's problems."
Taiyo stated, though it was clear in his eyes that his ache could not be hidden behind that smile. His wife was gone and now his beloved spirits who had eased his pains were gone... Now he felt as a fire with no fuel to burn... He felt empty.
"I am quite proud of you for helping out with those ruffians. You did quite well, Be proud of yourself. Though I hope me saying I am proud of you despite being a stranger has not offended you."
Taiyo didn't wish to make anyone fell odd, he simply wished to convey his feelings of gratitude. As she mentioned drinking, the man would glance at his empty glass before simply smiling and nodding.
"Aye, I'd love too. Normally I'd say no... but today I will make an exception."
Taiyo was nearly on rock bottom here, so a drink sounded lovely despite it probably wouldn't help that much. Still waving affirmatively to Serena and to let the other know he was on board with it.
