It started with something small like
toss me you eye
and it was her eye he caught
Then he asked for the time
and it was her time he got
He asked for her smile
and her happiness she gave
When he asked for her love
All she could do was cave
When she wanted in return

Life on Kentas|Chapter 6: Heart's Fire
"Nicolaus! Just the man we needed! Seems that NiS favors us after all!" Tyghan almost religiously responded to Nico's appearance, feeling that their worries might just be over now, not aware of the unfortunate news about to be delivered to him. "I'm sorry Tyghan, but that's not quite it. My left arm is wounded and it takes a lot for me to fire a blast as weak as that one now. I'm really, really sorry." Various expressions flashed across the faces of those present. Relief, anguish, self-loathing and contempt was what they were.
"Wh-.. No... SHIT!" Tyghan slammed the ground followed by a quiet sigh from Jeffery. "Grrr. WHAT IS WITH THIS?! Is t
