Diaries Of Dark Entanglements: Balance and Power

Our story begins on a planet called Gieă in a Continent called 'Eclispe of the Oceans' where chaos slowly unfolds with its influence slowly spreading into the entire world. This is a paced story that follows multiple characters shaped ruthlessly by desires and passion. A young dragon princess thirsty for acknowledgement, A prisoner breaking free from fate, A shadow who would die for his master, A light without a source and a question without an answer. Some of these special individuals fight for power, some fight to destroy, some fight to save, some fight for freedom, some fight for love, some fight for vengeance and some fight from duty. They all bleed, some of them fall, some grow and some lose sight of their purpose while consciously or unconsciously trying to find one thing,.. Balance. In a world riddled by chaos where 'good people and bad people' have been replaced by the terms 'winners or losers', where greed determines justice and vanity replaces passion, where energies conflicts, wars emerge and ruthlessness gets imprinted by experience into the hearts of even the most innocent and brave heroes. They stand for their desire and themselves with a riddle left unanswered from the very beginning of time,.. "What truly is balance?.." Follow our main characters through their dramatic struggles for answers as the choices they make influences themselves and their world. THIS IS A SLOW-PACED STORY AND THERE WOULDN'T BE LOTS OF ACTION SCENES AT THE BEGINNING BUT AS TIME PROGRESSES, SCENES LIKE THIS WOULD BE MORE COMMON. TRUST ME, THIS IS A STORY WORTH THE INVESTMENT OF READING!.

BREAKFAST WITH UM.. PEOPLE?.. (._.*).

***On Planet Gieă. In the Outskirts of the Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans', Chingford's Academy Male dormitory..

***Navi's Quarters.

 It's been six days since Navi's extremely stressful resumption back into the Martial academy. Although all the numbness from his dream session isn't gone, Navi is able to go back to his normal routine without much problems.

 On a daily basis he takes one martial class, one weapon class and one meditation class.. he devours two big meals(Breakfast and Dinner)with a couple of Nutrient packs, dives through two icy cold showers and hits a night of rest without truly sleeping.

 Things are all but 'super' during the last few days and the intense thrill from his first kill and its dangers is wearing off.

 Things are just too normal and Navi is not shocked to find out he doesn't enjoy normal compared to the chaos and blood from that intense night or to the nasty and painful thrill from his memory-dream sessions. Navi is not at all hypocritical to himself or his thoughts as he openly admits that he is a lover of chaos.

 Comfort isn't addictive in the slightest to his calm yet stone-cold mind-set.

 Pushing himself up from his slumber this morning, Navi remains sitting on his bed with his back against the wall while looking at the golden-orange sunlight that pours through the room's small window.

As usual, his room-mates are still asleep but a bed amongst them is missing a owner.

 Nobody but himself knows the real reason Why and now that he thinks of it, he never even bothered to know the name of that bastard!.

Navi's eyebrow subconsciously raises as this thoughts sneaks in his mind but he obviously doesn't care enough for a ponder as he uses the ladder to get down to the floor. He silently picks up an already prepared bag before calmly using the door to exit the room.

 With a bag in his hand and a calm expression on his remarkable face, Navi casually strolls through the third floor's hallway and straight to the stairs. It takes six small flights of stairs to finally get to the ground floor and after a familiar right turn, Navi enter into a mostly empty public bathhouse.

 Settling at a spot, Navi casually picks a spot and strips down to his boxers. He puts his clothes into the bag he've brought before pulling out a soap and sponge.

 In five minutes, Navi give himself a full soapy scrub-down before letting the running water down his skin.

His ink-black hair hangs down like wet threads in front of his face while reminding him of the overdue trim down he has been postponing. Combing his hair back with his fingers, Navi gets a clear look at his face.

 His dark eye circles are still bad though not as bad as before and the pale pink of his wet lips looks deadly attractive(Not like he cares much). His pale skin has gotten back most of its glow and the white in his eyes are finally clear of their former redness.

 His orange iris stays as beautiful and calm as always and his body is showing developments as he has grown a bit taller with more toning in on his proportions. Taking in a low breath, Navi puts his brush into his mouth while drying himself off with a towel.

 Three minute later, Navi is out of the bathroom and he is covered in a new set of neat and smooth disciple robes.

His teardrop pendant hides behind the layers of his robes and his clothes are neat and tidy. Patting against his chest, Navi takes a round trip back to his room in order to drop his bag but then, opening the door.. he sees someone new in his room.

 Tinkering around the Cabinet that used to belong to Troy, a young man that doesn't look much older than him can be seen putting his stuffs in it while staying in a squat position.

 The guy obviously hears the door open as he immediately turns his head to Navi. Golden-brown hair, light blue eyes, half-feet taller than Navi and an even tan on his warm ivory skin.

 Navi calmly tilts his head a bit while standing still and then he calmly continues to his cabinet to place his bag in it while ignoring the other party's stare.

It looks like he has a new room-mate.

 "Hi!.", The other guy greets in a surprisingly enthusiastic tone that makes some of the other sleeping room-mates turn a bit in their sleep. Navi gives the newbie a short glance before calmly closing his cabinet door as he fully turns to face the new fella.

 "I'm Dennis, you can call me Dean. You're the first person I have met in this Academy that's actually younger than I am so I hope we can be close friends.", Dean says while pushing a handshake and a smile as he now stands just a few steps away from Navi.

 Navi calmly looks into the newbie's eyes for a few seconds which made Troy feel a little awkward but then he gives out the handshake while saying in his very mature voice..

 "I'm Navi.".

 Dean is obviously a bit surprised by Navi cold tone and mature voice but Navi doesn't seem to care as he calmly withdraws his hand and starts walking to the door with Dean feeling a bit of odd chill on his palm from contact with Navi's still wet palm.

 "It's nice to meet you Navi.", Dean finally says as Navi indifferently exits the door before going down through the stairs once more.

 New room-mate or not, as long as his lines are not crossed it's none of his business. He's looking for thrill and not chill and as far as his current goals are concerned, relationships are nothing but distractions as he plans to leave this 'free prison'.

 Walking down the stairs then through the open grounds, he is quick to find the cafeteria. He orders a tray of nutritious meaty foods with a bit of veggie and he takes two Nutrient packs with him as he finds a silent and empty table to lay on.

 He sits down and sweeps his hair back before taking up his chopsticks in his left hand to eat. For some reason, although right handed, Navi always uses his left hand while using chopsticks. He has never deeply questioned why as he already knows the answers.

 Ikita Shi(His possible past self) is left handed and this seems to reflect on him when he uses chopsticks and carries out a few other activities.

 Calmly eating with the best manners yet not-so-right pace, Navi settles some stray thoughts in his head while not at all paying any sort of attention to the less than edible taste of the Cafeteria dishes. Ignoring his tongue, Navi feeds but then he is interrupted but the sound of someone pulling a chair by his side.

 His brows lightly furrows as he looks up and to his side where he sees a familiar figure taking a seat as she settles her tray on the wooden table.

 "Good Morning Navi.", Yuxi greets with a small smile hanging on her face as she picks up her chopsticks before dropping them back as if remembering something.

 "Morning senior.", Navi responds in his usual deep and distant tone while getting a whiff of Yuxi's Cinnamon perfume as she whips up strands of her Curly Copper hair back before packing it up with both hands as she prepares for her signature messy bun.

 Her blush-like freckles over her sandy tone skin looks just as attractive as always and her doe blue eyes glimmers with energy as she laces up her hair with a band before picking up her chopsticks once more.

 Navi nonchalantly goes back into noiselessly speed-eating as the older cute lady by his side also starts to eat but she barely bites into a scoop before she picks up a conversation.

 "..How was your holiday break?, I thought it was the sessions stress last time but you look and sound just as cold as always.", Yuxi says while turning her attention to the eating Navi with a casual smile.

 "It was.. *new*.", Navi says calmly and honestly as he thinks about his first battle, first kills and first win all in the one week break.

 "New?..", Yuxi asks in confusion as she turns her gaze to Navi with a raised brow.

 Still eating, Navi gives small honest nods that doesn't at all help define what he means by 'new'. Honestly, Navi prefers the silence but he respects Yuxi atleast enough to starve her of the cold silent treatment.

 "Navi?!!.", A new yet oddly familiar voice calls out Navi name from the distance while forcing him to look up again at the approaching other party with a well concealed annoyance but a not-so-,well concealed piercing stare.

 Due to the cold stare, the approaching Dean couldn't help but slow his momentum a bit as he finally gets by Navi's table with his happy smile replaced by a more awkward one.

 "Can I pull a chair?.", Dean asks casually while already putting his tray on the table and sitting himself down. Completely ignoring him, Navi returns to his meal which he is already more than halfway through.

 "Are you a friend?.", Yuxi asks with a smile while Dean finally gets a good look at her face and is apparently a little shaken by what he see with pinks appearing on his cheeks and ears.

 "N.. no I'm his mate, his room-mate.", Dean says with a awkward smile as he adjusts himself on his seat.

 "I'm Dennis though you can call me Dean." – Dennis.

 "Nice meeting you Dean, I'm Yuxi.", Yuxi cheerfully says while stretching her right hand over the table with a smile.

 "N.. Nice meeting you too Senior Yuxi, you.. you have pretty eyes.", Dean says while blushing deeper as he respectfully gives a short and respectfully handshake to Yuxi with both his hands.

 "Oh! thank you, you have pretty eyes too.", Yuxi says with a smile that brings out her small dimples as she obviously takes no deep meanings to the compliment.

 Still minding his meal, Navi is soon about to clear out his tray as he noiselessly devours all it has on but he is once more pulled into the ongoing conversation by Dean.

 "Are you two friends?.", Dean asks with a smile as he stirs his meat noodles with chopsticks.

 "She's my senior.", Navi coldly responds not taking his eyes off his tray while Dean blinks twice at Navi's very uninterested tone.

 "Is he always this cold or is it because of me?.", Dean asks to Yuxi in confusion while Navi continues to eat in silence.

 "You're his roommate so I should be asking you that.", Yuxi says while blinking her eyes before slurping on her noodles with the help of her chopsticks as she looks towards Navi then at Dean.

 "Actually, I.. I just moved in this morning. By the way I heard something interesting about the disappearance of the former owner of my space..
