Foom!

Thoom!

Boom!

“-Awk!”

Smack.

Scrabble, scrabble.

Sylph’s quick hands caught an astonished man as he literally bounced off her impressive physique.

“Sorry about that,” she chirped, setting him back on his feet and straightening his business suit.

She shot him a bright, happy smile, waved, and skipped off, nearly knocking him off his feet again as her formidable mass caused minor impact tremors with each step.

The air shimmered.  Pale sparks of phantom electricity travelled down power lines and street lights, earthing themselves with an unearthly glow.

A sudden, powerful gust of wind blew over an abandoned parasol.  There was a hideous wrenching sound, like a building being torn in two by an angry, infant god, then stillness.

Deep underground, Asura picked up a light blue apple.  She bit into it and shrugged.  “Not really impressed, Doc,” she drawled, “I mean… gimme a buck and some blue paint, I can get as many blue apples as I want…”

The bald-headed man- he was not just bald, but hairless, lacking even eyebrows and eyelashes- adjusted his spectacles, resettling them on his nose, and stroked the point of his narrow chin.  “Asura, my dear,” Ramius said with a faint smile, “you are many things- lovely, powerful, capable- but you’re an imbecile.”

Asura set down the apple and got to her feet.  She was a good foot taller than Ramius, with the characteristic broad shoulders and thick limbs of a warrior of her people.  “Excuse me, Doc?” she said quietly, her green eyes glinting dangerously.

Ramius shrugged, appearing not to notice his peril.  “That blue apple shouldn’t exist,” he explained, slowly, as if to a child.

The blond amazon snorted.  “So?” she challenged.

“So,” Ramius continued patiently, “the only reason it exists is because I tore it from an alternate reality!”

Asura stared at him blankly.

“You don’t get it,” Ramius sighed.  Asura shook her head.  “It means,” he said, “we can finally escape this… this prison!”

This is the teaser for the next chapter of the Sylph saga; if anyone has contact information for debido-san, I would deeply appreciate it if you would ask him to contact me, as I want to use a couple of his characters in this chapter.

Hey, I know this is pretty late, and I don't even know if you even still visit deviantART, but I love your Sylph stories, and I would love to see you continue them some day. This one in particular looks like it's going to get interesting!
