Bottle of Stories (98)

Jayson and Kid went outside to experience the cold morning wind. They strolled around the garden of the resthouse. Jayson watched the people return to their homes or continue walking the cement road. Some establishments are prepared in opening their business again like nothing happened. A sweet hum tickled his ears. It was a young and innocent voice harmonizing with the rustling of the leaves. Jayson knew who it was and he wanted to ask him a question. However, he cannot gather the right words to say, so he sat on the ground and let the grass give him comfort. He waited for the song to fade into the wind. He turned his head at the back and saw Kid caressing the plants. "I met you in my dreams." Kid did not stop examining the different shaped plants. "I was there too so I can see how much you changed." "Why do you always talk like we have met before?" "Try punching your gut. I hope that answers your question." He giggled. Jayson raised his brow an...

"Why aren't you happy? I thought we are friends?" Leivo paused as soon he felt a cold blade on his neck. "Do not come any closer to Rey." Jayson recovered from the curse but his memories are still intact contrary to what Leivo said. "Jayson, no more fighting!" said Kid. "We can't trust him. He might hurt Rey again," said Annie who is still holding her bow and arrow. "I'm sorry, I was just protecting my parents' wishes. Rey, I'm sorry. I realized that I have no control over my actions and Rey's presence alone can release my own desires. I want justice for my family but it hinders me from making any friends. This is all their fault, the Skar family." Jayson did not believe what Leivo said and he did not put down his weapon. "Can you forgive Skars if they apologize to you?" asked Rey. "No, they can't bring my parent's life back. But you are different, we are friends! You should forgive me....

"Did you hear that? Someone just called my name." Annie and Jayson shook their head. He heard the voice again, it sound more desperate this time. He looked for every house nearby but he see no one. "Who's voice is it again? Annie? But Annie is here." When he turned his head, his friends were not there anymore. That's why he felt something off. The voices of his friends are only on his head but the one who's calling for him goes straight to his ears. He tried to find where the voice came from by walking on the streets until he finally went back on the field and saw the guardian of dreams once again. "I'm now allowing you to leave this place, but before that." The guardian approached him. "I want to give this to you." He touched Rey's forehead and his eyes glow brighter. Everything about Rey's family history flashed in his eyes. It was very detailed and it gets to the point where he saw what his ancestor did to Kid up to his...

Annie released another attack for Leivo just to test how strong his shield is. It showed a little crack that gave her a glimpse of hope that she can beat him. She nocked her arrow once again when a strong wind disrupt her balance. She also prepared for this too, as long as she keep her distance she can bring damage to him again. Kid can focus on protecting Annie now that the museum is basically empty. If some unforeseen events happen again, they can easily pick up their momentum and defeat Leivo. "Stop sabotaging my plans! You just want to take Rey from me why are you doing all of this? Guardians, really?" Leivo seems desperate but Annie did not let that stop herself from attacking his magical shield. Together with his ability to control the wind harshly, he let out a request to Kid. "Hey guardian, tell your friend to stop interfering!" "What are you talking about? I'm not a guardian, I'm just a kid," he said while still hiding. "I can't w...

"You look different," OP said as he saw Annie and Kid go out of the room. "I, I don't know what you're talking about," said Annie, not being able to make eye contact. "We are ready to face Leivo! Annie is actually strong. We will beat him together!" Kid said confidently. "That's the spirit! We will help you. OP, do you have a plan?" said Cu. Annie lowered her head. "No, don't come with us. I do not want both of you to get in trouble too. We're just here to say goodbye. Kid, let's go." "Okay." Kid waved his hand and together with Annie they vanished. OP and Cu look at each other, communicating through their eyes, they agreed to get out of that place so they can follow them. Annie and Kid were near the museum but not too close that Leivo would detect them. Annie touched the tree in front of them with Kid so they can use it as a substitute target for their enemy. They went to their position recalled the th...

 "Kid, can I talk to you privately." "Oh, okay," he hopped from the chair and followed Annie's footsteps. Annie closed the door and sat down to equal Kid's height. "I want to go home." "What, you just said..." "Just trust me." Kid opened a path and signal his palm to let Annie go in first. They entered Annie's room and she proceeded to open her cabinet and open her personal box. She got the crossbow she received from Theo long ago. "Now, can you bring me to Theo?" "Why do we need to go to his place?" "I want him to train me. I noticed that Jayson is the only one that can return home with us. So asking for someone's help and bringing them to another world is impossible. But time doesn't change when we leave and return to our world. So maybe, I can train and become strong before I face Leivo and save Rey and Jayson." "Are you sure you want to do that?" Annie nodded at Kid. "...

Behind the Scenes of My Vlog

Image
I do not usually upload vlogs because I am more into making drawing time-lapse and making a UTAU cover. However, when I do make vlogs, it is always for my family, friends, or for my school projects. There is no such thing as scripts for my video because it makes my voice monotonous and unnatural. So if I do not have scripts, what is happening behind the scenes of my vlogs? Do I even prepare before speaking to the camera? The answer is yes! I prepare myself mentally, take down notes when needed, and visualize the flow of the video in the process. Imagining how the vlog will look like helps me a lot because I'm the one who edits my videos. I use zoom meeting for recording because I used my PC which is pretty slow. There will be hiccups when you are not used to talking in front of the camera but I believe that practice helps a person improve. Additionally, if you are a newbie like me, we can always use video editing to remove those hiccups. This image was screenshotted today for showi...
