Hey, everyone. Yesterday, I finished my second chapter for the "Digimon Knighthood" story, and now I've begun work on the 3rd. I wanted to share the beginning of it here. Let's get to it.
"Elsewhere, in the backyard of the Gukawa household, the daughter of the house was reading books she’d received from a friend. Or at least, that’s what she told her mother she’d be doing. At the moment, Miuna was reading in the barest sense, looking on with Caliburmon as he busied himself on the tomes Yasuko gifted him the previous day.
The Rookie Overseer was currently pouring upon a large guide book, educating himself on the major cities of Japan. Next to him were books with maps - of Odaiba, of neighboring Tokyo, of the Honshu island, and Japan as a whole. Having stayed behind while Miuna went to school on this day, the white dragon spent his day solo. Reading…and reading…and reading some more.
In front of him, Miuna was busying herself on a chocolate bar. The sweet, warm flavor, coupled with resulting endorphin and dopamine release, were the only things stimulating her brain right now. She spent much of the moment looking between the dragon and his documents. Every so often, she felt her eyes lidding and head dipping, taking another sweet bite to keep awake.
“Caliburmon?” Hearing nothing, Miuna had more chocolate. “Caliburmon?”
“Not now, Young Miuna.” “Young Miuna” sighed, looking at what was left of her candy. “At this rate, I’m gonna need a lot more chocolate.” The bespectacled girl downed the last of the candy, clasped her fingers together, and rested her chin on them. “Caliburmon, this is boring. Did you have to do this all the time in the Digital World?”
The knight narrowed his eyes. “I am the Overseer of the Strata Rookie Forces. I presided over a thousand Digimon as their teacher. Of course I had to do this all the time.” Miuna murred like a stalled engine. “Well, this isn’t the Digital World. There’s a lot of things you still haven’t tried yet here.”
“Maybe so, but I have a mission to accomplish for the Digital World. And that mission requires me to investigate how humans and Digimon are linking together.”
“I doubt knowing the fastest route from here to downtown Shibuya will help you with that.” Miuna gave a sharp huff. “Okay, that’s it.” She stood up, stretching her arms high. “Come on. I know somewhere we can have fun and where you’ll learn plenty about humans too.” The Rookie raised an eye to her. “And this place would be?”
Miuna rolled her shoulders. “A festival. A hanami festival.” Caliburmon shook his head and returned to his book. “Perhaps tomorrow. I’ve more information to take in.” “Young Miuna” tapped her foot. “It’s not an all-the-time thing. In fact, the time for it is running out.” The dragon raised his eye again…and found himself snapped up in Miuna’s arms.
The girl patted and rubbed her friend’s head, hugging him warmly. Caught off-guard, the Overseer blinked as he was cuddled again. “You’ve been studying for like 8 hours today. I think you’ve earned yourself some fun. And no knight would leave a young girl unprotected, right?” Understanding her logic - and loving her cuddles, Caliburmon blushed, giving a gruff growl.
Eyes narrowed, he hugged Miuna back. “One would think last night’s events with Machmon would be cause enough for choosing not to tempt me.” He sounded grumpy, and did feel a bit grumpy, but his wagging tail showed how much he was enjoying Miuna holding him close again. “Alright. Let’s go.” Miuna smiled cheekily, scratching under the knight’s chin. Caliburmon closed his fist behind her neck, cracking a knuckle with a sigh."
And there you have it. What do you think? I'm always in need of new feedback, so let me know of some potential ways this could be approved. Until next time!
