《Laughing Jack X Reader》Chapter 30

~**~
About a month had passed since my accident. I still didn't have any of my old memories back, but I didn't really care that much, I seemed to pick up on things very quickly. Well, by that I mean I'm able to attack a flour sack dummy.. I haven't been on a real mission yet, I just didn't feel quite ready to actually Murder a real person.
"Hey! You ready to try it blindfolded!"
LJ and I had gotten really close over the past month. He's been teaching me everything and we're together pretty much 24/7. I would say that feelings are starting to grow, but definitely not 'in love' yet.
"Why do I have to do it blindfolded! In what situation would I use this in!"
I complain as LJ walks behind me, placing the fabric over my eyes and tying it at the back of my head.
"Wellll what if someone jumps you from behind and covers your face. Or someone pepper sprays you. You need to become more dependant on your hearing as well as sight."
To be honest he did have a good point. It does seem very likely someone could try and blind me while fighting for their life. Just thinking of being blinded sends a shiver down my spine.
Oh yeah apparently me doing a blind run is my final test before being put out in the field for a real mission so of course Slender has to come and watch to make sure LJ doesn't lie to cover for me.
"Hey, you'll be fine"
LJ whispers in my ear, to which I then suddenly feel something press against my cheek, making a smooching sound.
He-! He kissed me!
This was the first time LJ had kissed me or done anything remotely romantic. I could feel my heart pounding in my ears, my pulse throbbing in my neck as my hands became sweaty.

Oh god now I'm too nervous!
I take a deep breath, in and out. Breathing slowly and calmly as I listen out for the sounds.
The entire forest was so loud at first I was bombarded with sounds. The trees and leaves rustling as the wind flows through them. The sounds of birds calling out and foxes shrieking.
I try to focus myself, taking one more deep inhale. As I breathe out, the sounds of the forest start to fade. It was no longer too loud to concentrate, it was calm and peaceful. I was now in the zone.
I listen out for my sound queues, hearing a twig snap to my side my head snaps in its direction, listening more as the twigs snapping turn into leaves crunching, being crushed by each footstep, drawing closer and closer, circling round and coming up behind me.
I could hear their raspy breathing the closer they got, I wait till the right moment before I spin around and pounce, pinning the person to the floor, bringing my blade to their neck.
"Good job"
I instantly hear a recognisable chuckle, yanking off my blindfolded, I see LJ laying beneath me with my blade to his throat. A satisfied grin plastered across his face. I felt so happy I had got it right. Jumping to my feet I couldn't help do a little dance. Trotting on the spot. LJ stands laughing as he watches me.
"I did it!! Did I do it Slender?! I done it right!'"
I grin as I face slender, to which his calm static fills the air before he nods his head.
"EEEEEEEE~!"
I couldn't help squeal like a school girl. I got it right and felt so accomplished.
Instantly I run back to the cabin, I just HAD to tell the guys.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

The Fire Within Can Be Scary
In a fantasy world similar to ours, magic worked similarly to physics, with each elemental spirit magic being tied to a state of matter. Earth is solid.Water is liquidAir is gas.Fire is plasma. Four elements, four states of matter. However in the ancient world of Hitarea, "Plasma" hadn't been discovered yet. The people of this world believe that only three states of matter existed, and thus, only three elemental magic could exist. For years, Earth, Water, and Air stood alone as the three main elements from which all others originated. Advanced arts like metal from earth, or Ice from water were only extensions of their original element . . . so what does that make Fire? Fire is powerful as the earth with its mighty explosions, flexible like water as it writhes around in the air, and swift like the wind. All at the same time. Fire, in regards to combat, is the most powerful element by far. This fearsome power is Alden's to master, but this power is a double-edged sword. One shouldn't play around with fire if you don't want to be burned. The fire within can be scary, you know?
