"On his way to meet his friends, Herald didn"t dare open his third eye. Not only because it was very crowded and he cannot grasp the idea of looking 5 minutes into everyone"s future at the same time. But also because he cannot bear to know such things that he thought was only G.o.d"s work. His belief clashed with his reality, but one thing Herald always used to do in order to rationalize his belief and strenghten it, is using what confuses him and link it with his already established belief. These occurances can only be explained through spiritual methods and therefore he is now, more sure than ever of the spiritual realm existing, and the more he"ll discover in his new path the more he"ll get more answers... On his way he also thought of the memories he made with his brothers and sisters in the gang, the time where they used to chat everyday for 5 years straight, and how each one gets roasted by all others, how they spent nights together in each other"s houses... It"s not like they dont do that anymore, but it"s gotten less and less frequent, as each one of them was pulled away by his responsibilities in life, something Herald always feared but knew it was inevitably coming." "Nonetheless, whenever they have the opportunity to create new memories, they"re all willing to do so."*Herald arrives to the usual place they always meet up in, and there goes all the gang standing, looking at him...*
"Herald, for 8 years never could hide the big smile on his face, walking towards them in that same place. It warmed his heart and theirs as well. Even when Leon rarely ever admits his emotions."
*Yussein is the first to come hug Herald*, "Babyboiiii!!! I miss you"
Herald, while hugging him and smiling said "Me too brother. As always, its cold and ure wearing half sleeves trynna show ur muscles to get underraged girls looking at you, huh?"
Yussein laughs and says ironically, " d.a.m.n right i am. One stays true to his nature."
"Yussein, just completed 26years old the previous week. Is a strong built man measuring 180cm, short hair, light beard and brown eyes. Everyone in the gang thinks he"s okey looking. Other girls think he"s more than just that. He has a history of being a playboi, but can be very loyal when loving a girl for real. that did happen only twice in his life though."
"The second person to hug Herald was Aylal, Aylal is the first one Herald knew and became friends with of all the gang. Herald and Aylal are as different as two friends can ever be, even in appearance. He"s a light skinned black skinny man, with a little afro, measuring 178cm. While Herald is a white man measuring 175cm with a very long straight brown hair and a full beard.
Yet, they rarely ever have conflicts or fights, due to Aylal"s complete careless and easy-going att.i.tude, and Herald"s mature and understanding one. Allthough Herald doesn"t like anything about what Aylal was and is being still, he ignores these facts because it just happens that both of them built a great bound together. Which Aylal always wanna take to another level, (half sarcastically)."
Aylal, *Hugs Herald tightly and rubs his stomach with his"
Herald says, "Again this... I thought i told you to man up b.i.t.c.h!" and hugs him even tightly.
"Aylal laughs but doesn"t respond"
"The next person is Zeko, 26years old and about the same height as Aylal, a white one this time wearing gla.s.ses, He has a strange style of clothes but suits him very well. Zeko is the second guy Herald knew after Aylal, mainly because the latter was the one to introduce the two to each other. Zeko is known for his edginess allthough he reduced that greatly from the time the gang first started. He never liked most of them at first, but ended up doing the opposite as time went on. Zeko loves Herald more than the others as he knows that Herald was the main reason he is part of the group still. "
Zeko, "Why you"re late, you got me waiting too long i was the first to come here"
Herald, "Yeah what you gonna do about it, cry? hide ur nose?" (Zeko, for some reason always hides his nose in pictures and it became a funny joke when the gang noticed it)
Zeko, "No m gonna bang your momma", they both laughed...
"Next is Inoush, a 22years old girl. is the youngest of all the group, she was 15 when she first joined the chat and knew Herald when she was only a 13years old. For her age back then, she knew stuff that no other one knew at the same age, so she was accepted among them. She has a good relation with all the group members, It is still hard to see her as a grown up woman now but her appearance reminds them all of."
"Herald cares for her deeply since their early days, allthough he was made fun of at the time for doing that by Leon, Zeko and Aylal. Calling him a pedophile. Inoush never runs out of stories about herself to tell and can sometimes be annoying to all of them except for Herald."
Inoush, "My OG!! hug your lil girl she misses you a lot. I got ton of things to tell you about."
Herald, "I miss you more. Yes yes, i"ll make sure to hear about them all Hahaha."...
"Then comes Oumad, Herald"s favorite person to be arround and vice versa. He finds complete peace and comfort whenever they"re together. Oumad is 2 years older than Herald, he knew him back when they both studied in the same university."
" They Never had literally, one problem or fight during the 7 years they were friends. They"re fairly different nonetheless but they both understand and accept the differences. They do meet up on many points."
"They always hug so tightly and for longer times than others, even if they only met yesterday, showing how close and strong their bound is."
"Oumad had a big smile when looking at Herald from afar, but it suddenly faded away as he came up closer, he looked schocked for a second there... then he smiled in Herald"s face when it was time to hug him."
Oumad, "My man!"
Herald, "Myyy man..You good?"
Oumad, "Yes, what about you?"
Herald, "Oh yeah, am fine just a bit of stress these days because of my project and s.h.i.t, you know" and without him knowing or noticing his action, he scratched his forehead and it caused him to hurt his third univisible eye"
Herald, "Ouch..f.u.c.k!!"
Oumad, "Whats wrong Herald? did something hit you?"
As Herald was quickly thinking of an answer, Leon interrupted..
Leon, "Look who"s here! This little b.i.t.c.h you"ve been making us wait again outside and its cold here. what is this type of behavior, so called leader?"
Herald as soon as hearing Leon"s voice burst out of laughter.
"Leon is the funniest guy of all the group, he"s a bit shy and finds it hard to voice his feelings and emotions. The only way he can is to curse and roast the ones he loves. Herald and Yussein are the ones getting the "Lion" share of that treatment."
"But still, he is a 28years old mature man, measuring 170cm, the shortest of all the guys which he"s consistanly being made fun of throughout 8years of friendship.
Leon is Herald"s second favorite guy to be arround after Oumad. his jokes and behavior always amuses him, and pretty much all the gang.
Whereas Herald is Leon"s secrets teller, he trusts him very much and seeks his advice."
Herald, "i"ll consider blaming myself once your hairline considers coming back Leon"
*the whole gang laughs*
Leon, looking serious and pointing his finger towards Herald, "You gotta be careful, you aint winning that war with me!"
Herald, "Bring it on."
They both hug and laugh together, "Been a long time man"
Leon, "Yeaaah, you aint gon believe what am gonna tell you when we"ll sit"
Herald, "Oh really!!"..
Shahzalem, "Bro you ain"t gonna hug me or what?"
Herald looks towards him and say, "..Bro, how can you say that to your bro?"
Shahzalem is one of the latest guys to join the group, 1year and a half after it"s formation.
But he has well earned his place in the heart of all of them with his nice and peaceful behavior, yet crazy and stupid sometimes. aging 24years old, he got a very indian-ish cute face and a curly wavy hair. his clothing taste is a disaster though."
"Shahzalem had many mental issues at first, which explains his weird and stupid behavior sometimes. Being a ruthless bunch of guys, they never sympathized with that and always pushed him to change. And it worked, he completely turned his life arround after 2 years of being with them. he stopped drugs and got himself going in his studies. Now he"s about to be a leftist politician. Something that Herald is the complete opposite of."
Shahzalem in a sarcastic tone, "You"re considering a leftist ur brother bro? you should be ashamed of urself!"
Herald, "Fate can take twisted paths sometimes, one lefitst brother wouldnt hurt much. It is better than having a troubled confused one."
"Herald cares for Shahzalem deeply and was very proud of him when observing his development up close"
Only one person left to greet, and it is Merry."
"A 23years old young lady, skinny, white and cute. Always wearing black gothic clothes, representing her music taste. Which matches completely the taste of Herald, he considers her his music soulmate. Merry was one of the oldest members of the group. and one of the few girls to stay for the long run Early on she couldnt meet the others often due to her family"s restriction, but now she doesn"t face that problem as severly. She"s also one of the funniest females someone can ever come across to"
Merry, Growling "HERALD, HOW ARE YOU!!!!"
Herald answers in the same way, as they both learnt growling back in the day "AS GOOD AS YOUR GROWLING HAS BECAME!!!"
Merry laughs and hugs him, then proceeds to talk about new songs and alb.u.ms she listenned to...
*after some minutes of everyone talking to each other, forming the same picture that was first formed 7years ago.*
Herald notices the absence of some members, "Where is Iscariot,Merria and Miguel ? They"re not coming?"
Leon, "I called them, Iscariot and Miguel are already in the coffee we"re heading to, Merria said she cannot come. Told me to send her kisses to u but i took them for myself"
Herald, "Typical Merria... Okey then, let"s bounce shall we?"
"In the midst of this beautiful warm scene, Herald completely forgot for a moment, all the events that happened to him prior to meeting his friends. That"s how much he loved his people."
"All of them headed towards where Iscariot and Miguel are, each one talking to another about different topics and throwing jokes here and there..."
"Except Oumad, who was walking alone behind them all, with a thoughtful gaze focused on none other than, Herald...
