:thumb701648912: in the restricted section.Midnight is the quiet hour, the witching hour,
the hour of sweet dreams and wretched nightmares—
it brings forth the dance we simply cannot get rid of,
our steps echoing in the caverns of the hallows of the
Library, and together we let our feet guide us from
section to section.
Mystery was one we danced in most often, its masked
murderers and thrill seekers a complement to
your secrets and my hidden rooms—we pretended to not
see the clues left for the other to find, to not see
the numbers that glowed from the open pages of left
behind physics books.
We never did make it to the Romance section and
I always wondered what dance we would have had there -
if we would waltz through the European history books,
tango down the South American literature, foxtrot to the tune
of the early 1900's in the sparse music section; and while
you strayed to the rigidity of Non-Fiction, I let myself 
wander past Fantasy and into Mythology.
I was always drowning when I ventured too far in,

Poetry

:thumb698459209: Stuck conflictions I’m stuck.
I don’t know what to do.
I don’t know where to go.
                    But I want it.
I don’t want things to change.
I think I’m happy.
But it’s complicated.
                    But I want to run away.
I’m stuck.
Shaded BeautyLife is quite hard, and has taken its toll.
I cover the marks, and let no one know.
Broken and scarred, both my body and soul.
Make-up goes far, but it’s only for show.
Look like a star, or at least meet the goal,
and shade the dark, fading beauty below.
Skin and PlasticThe ocean salt-licked calluses from my feet,
sand clawed into my knee and
the waves
swallowed my sunglasses (I paid
for all the times I wrote about it as though I’d been there
with skin and plastic).
It was easy letting it throw me, I already know
how to go limp, how to
accept the battering, how to
float to the top playing dead (It shook me
like a snow globe and for a moment under the night sky
things were real again).
I first saw the Atlantic
under the cover of night, and last saw it
running and stumbling towards it,
fists and teeth and all my bruises bared and gleaming
under the pinhole stars (once it was as dark on land as it is
across the water).
Someone thrust a jacket into my hands
for modesty
and I laughed.
On the drive home I pressed my ear to the window.
(I expected to leave the ocean,
I didn’t know I would have to leave the sky).

Pulling Weeds“Good morning, Brother Chris. Your tomatoes are spectacular.”
“Praise be to God.”
“Would you like some help weeding?”
“Thank you, Brother Jacob, I would love some. My knees are killing me.”
“Are they? You always look so content here, working in your garden.”
“I am, in mind and spirit, but the body does have a tendency to complain.”
“The soil is moist with yesterday’s rain. What a pleasure to dig in! Why, look at this worm, as fat as my finger.”
“Let me see. Oh, yes, I call him Percy, one of my favorite little workers.”
“Don’t tell me you’ve named the earthworms!”
“One must occupy one’s mind, Brother Jacob! Though I tend to call most of them Percy, for some reason.”
“Ha ha!”

“Yes?”

my routines are something amiss in that I
cannot stick to them, and I'm still not
too sure how to walk without my shoulders
pulled back, my stride filled with the harsh
taps of my heels, my eyes daring men to come
and test a hand, a turn, a try at me and see
if they can return with no limp or bruise.
(The days roll past with no markings in its
wake—all that it gives is a way to see, a way
to feel, a morning and an afternoon, a dawn and

today a different today; which many yesterdays
is speaking; how is tomorrow a tomorrow
when nothing changes?)
Memories tell me of what has been and, perhaps,
what can be, which is why faces flash by
the random men with their loud voices and
louder egos, baiting me with street corners and
club entrances; they do not know the art of
the prey, but they only see predator here, my body
just another rolling day, and their taunts grate upon

Poetry

Understanding HeartbreakDear heart, I beseech thee
to relinquish thy hold.
Thy lady hath left me,
and my torment is cold.
I tried to drink the tears,
shed for her vagrant heart,
but drowned in my own fears:
Did my soul, then depart?
Should they dig up the dirt,
and throw me in the ground?
Would I still feel the hurt,
with no one else around?
To answer my despair
with death, would be perverse.
To have no one else there
may still, hurt so much worse.
Heart broken, soul attached.

Tears rolled over a smile.
My sadness not dispatched,
but covered for a while.
Sadness dealt with later.
Now I’ll relish in my past.
I thought pain was greater,
than the love we amassed.
The love I knew was true,
so perhaps I was wrong.
I’m glad to have loved you.
From us came a pure song.
What’s better than to know,
someone worth singing for?
When may such harsh of blow
once again scar my core?
To be loved is better,
and the song is sweeter.
Be giver and getter,
and avoid the fleeter.
Purer songs, lesser pai
One Small SparkWhen you start off small
One try is better than none
The idea can grow
With patience and persistence
A difference can be made

You're ok
NO.
Someone's there.
Not anymore. 
Someone's missing.
For just a long time.
People to protect you. 
People to go to. 
There used to be just one.
Wasn't that ok?
Someone you could go to,
Someone you could trust with anything.
Someone you could call when the attacks were too much.
The voice of someone who cared,
Was just enough to calm you enough,
To be in control.
But now?
There is no one I can trust.
I am alone.
The only thing worse than having one,
Is having none.

New Entry to Old Prompt

animal teethi. I found her in the hyper-real
pop art dream, scooping my heart
from the reeds, ditch weeds, she held it
in her hands to dine upon;
she was an animal.
I stopped her.
That heart is poisoned by cyanide
and all the horrible things that passed between
the beast’s teeth. The first thing she learned from me
is that the heart holds
terrible things the same way she held
the muscle
between her fingers.
ii. The barn was painfully red, set back
beneath the painter’s streaks of sunset
on rolling beds of tall grass and wild flowers
and it was beautiful and mine but
she could not stay there.
I promised to take her home.
Every grain of dirt and broken stone
on the earthen road was acute, individual, but they blended
together
the closer we got to her woods
and by the time that turned jungle
I could barely tell trees apart
let alone tease the water
from the mud.
iii. She grew afraid of flesh and cast out the heart
and we spent the days collecting sweet greens,
pale tubers, fruits fermenti

Monteria: Chapter: ImyrveWords were spoken and fire appeared at the tip of a girl's finger. A candle was lit. Its flame flickered rapidly making the shadows inside the room dance in successive wavy movements. Imyrve bore it carefully. Setting fire to a torch nailed to the wall, she felt a gentle rush of warmth wreathing on the skin of her face.Outside an owl hooted. Its voice echoed repeating itself as it sped traveling towards distant places. It was still night out there. Imyrve wanted to have a look at the bird. From the window, she could see but a pitch black world.Out of a leather bag set on the bed she drew multiple items. She upturned a small phial on her pinky. With the sweet smelling substance which was in it, she made half circles behind her ears, tipped under her arms, then traced a line on her belly. On her right hand she put a silver bracelet inlaid with cream colored stones. She let fall a pale priestess's robe on her body. She donned her boots and slid a dagger inside the left one.At daybreak Imyrve left her chamber. As she was going down, a faint light coming from the hall slightly enlightened the stares. The others are awake. She thought.The door from which she entered was at the end of the long room. Beside it, a young fire was cracking in the fireplace. At the other end, was the gate that led outside. On the right, there was a lengthy brick counter. An open view on the kitchen was behind it. The rest of the space was filled with chairs and tables.Her former master Gard was sitting on a bench. His neck turner and his eyes staring vaguely out of the window. He was clutching a cup of mulled wine. Dolly, the young fellow with the soul trapped inside a horse's body was drinking water from a bucket on the floor. He raised his head and looked in Imyrve's eyes to welcome her. She stroked the hair on his back and went to sit with Gard.Seeing that the innkeeper's wife was also present there, she called,"milk and bread and butter, please".Smiling friendly , Gard said,"Good. Eat well. A long day awaits us"."Do not worry Gargar. My appetite is unquenchable even in death".The man in front of her was twenty nine years of age, yet this unending journey made him look well aged. He had dark circles under his eyes and dry cracked lips. His back was now hunched more than ever. All his features showed signs of weariness. Imyrve sensed that now that they were at the last stage of their quest, his anxiety and tension increased further. She was surely afraid of what was waiting them at the end of the road. Be that as it may she was eager and energetic. Her mind was still well balanced.If her judgment was correct Dolly seemed alright. He eats and drinks normally. Even so, she could not always comprehend him. At times he becomes cheery, jumps and runs in every direction and fills the world with his loud neighs. In other days he hardly nods when spoken to, she can not tell if there was a living human soul in that horse.Their journey began when they left the harbor called Boats-Feast in the south western shores of eldariand. Arriving to the east of Marcolon, they crossed the country for it was safer to travel that way, but slower withal. The people that sent them on the quest knew the risks of a voyage by sea. Taking a boat from the Black-Rock, they landed in a small town called the Borders. Now they were in the king's grave inn and soon will be leaving for the Bright Mountains.Imyrve guessed that after nearly a year of travel, it was not unusual that her mates were at a bad state. She felt sorry for Gard though. When she was eight years of age he took her as his first apprentice. At that same time he was as old as she was now. For ten years he had been her master, the only fatherly figure she ever known. She had the sense of being protected and safe around him more than when she had been living with her mother as a child. He was kindly and caring towards her, yet she was not fond of the way he treated people, his gloomy side. He frequently showed aggressivity and mistrust when dealing with other mages and common folk."Another sleepless night ?". Asked Imyrve."I got few hours before my mind was awake again." Gard miserably spoke. "fright and doubt won't leave me be.""You worry too much." She took his hand in hers."our plans were made by the high Masters. Hardly will something go wrong."He ended the talk with a squeeze of her fingers and a gentle,"yes". He drew his hand.It was still dark when they set out. The fresh breeze of the morning made Gard shiver. The sky was purple, sprinkled with blurry pale golden stars. Far in front of them, Imyrve beheld green coated hills and valleys. The road twisted and warped following the reliefs of the highlands. Farther, all sight is blocked by the wall of the Bright Mountains. The so called fiery peaks were grey now. The sun will soon be up and it will become hard to stare long at the summit. She thought.She turned her head to have the last look at the inn. She grew fond of the place in three days only. It was small, clean, and not quite frequented, unlike the crowded filthy places they stayed in during their travel across Marcolon. There was a door in its hall that led to a garden. A great lord's grave was built in the middle. Imyrve savoured all the hours she spent there, listening to the stories of jenny, the innkeeper's wife. Apparently some old king died and was buried in that same spot. The wife told her that the grand sire of her husband's grand sire put up the inn and the garden as a memorial for the lost man.In Monteria, graves were called round beds. This king's bed was grey stone and of circular shape. It was surrounded by a ring of water, all covered with rose petals. There was a miniature statue of a crowned man slaying a bear on it.Even though she already read all about the land when preparing for the trip, Imyrve was well amused by Jenny's tales. The old woman recounted the history of her region in a folkish enjoyable way, mixing the names of this lord and that king, adding made up events here and there.Desiring to know what the Montarian folktales tell about the bright mountains, Imyrve had asked her to give her some accounts on the past of the heights which this country was most known for."Ages ago, the earliest men set out to roam and populate the lands. They found the mountains, a colossal chain of boulders, cliffs and turf. Many massive bright fire stones that held the sun's radiance were scattered on top. The view frightened them. They felt so little before something so big, and the wisest and oldest saw the presence of the gods in these peaks which seemed ablaze from afar. And so Monteria they called the realm they set up later. Mountains of flames in the common speech".Jenny had said.Imyrve knew of course that there was no earliest men. In fact, the same people who traveled from Eldariand to Marcolon around five thousand years ago, came to populate Monteria after. Before that the continent waw overrun with white lions."Through the centuries, few unique people had learnt to master these fire gems to do exceptional things, to produce light and heat, to make hamers shatter the hardest rocks, and all kinds of spells.""Then came kolven the second or Boloven was it, I will ask my husband which was it later. Well, a sage king that gave his court the bidding of making mines under the mountains to extract the material. One of his descendants, maybe this one was Boloven, assembled the finest of these spell makers. That is how the notorious enchanters guild was born. The fiery halls were built and the enchanters thrived on making arms for the royal soldiers. The realm grew in power during that time. And until this day folk say that that line of kings was the greatest dynasty Monteria has seen since the dawn of time.""It was a dreadful night, when the white lions stormed the Mountains to take back what was theirs. Not a mere pack but thousands of them. It was said that their leader was capable of turning into a man. All the guild's heritage of knowledge and artefacts was lost, trapped for hundreds of years inside what has become lion territory."Imyrve had thought that for a common innkeeper's wife living far away from the city, Jenny knew a lot about the history of the land. She also wondered if all the montarians were as same as the old woman.It was nearly noon when their path began to slightly slant upwards. The hill that they were ascending was mantled by a vast field of blood red lavender. Perfectly lined rows of scarlet buchs surrounded them. There was fences separating the road and the plantation. Vertical wooden swords held together by two horizontal poles. Every six feet or so, stood spruce carved ferrets carrying the highest pole in their mouths. Climbing vines with a sharp biting smell accompanied with notes of sweetness, was coiled around the sculpted wood. A buzzing sound filled the landscape. "The kingdom of bees", whispered Gard.A short while after, they reached the top of the hill. Imyrve swept her eyes about the area. Spotting a crouched peasant within the field, she said , "let me do the talking.""Won't utter a word." Answered Gard.Before long they heard, "oi you! This is me lord Dardwick's property and you would better get ...", then he paused taking a long look at them,"oh, me apologies priests, me withered eyes did not recognize the robes.""No harm is done, sir." She reassured."I am no sir," he chuckled, "only a servant""Are we not all servants?" She replied wisely, just as what a real priestess would do. "What is your name, blessed man?""Anvelbe, me lady.""I'm no lady either, Anvelbe.""What is yours then.""Ive.""Might i ask about you business in these lonely parts.""We make godly work, restoring wise circles all around Aysgrath." She said.Getting down from her horse and stepping towards him, she examined him closely. The man seemed old and bended. He stood leaning a spade. His hair was white. The tunic and trousers he wore, were extremely worn. His boots were in a better shape."We were told about one. Set beyond this hill.""All this land is called the kingdom of bees. Past this field you will find a yeffer forest. This same path will lead you inside it. A tower stands amid the trees. The circle is found beside it.""Thank you Anvelbe. We will pray on your health.""Farewell."Ahead of the hill, stretched a grassy valley. At its farthest parts sprawled the golden forest they were heading to.They made it to the edge of the woods after an hour of march. The road split into a two tined fork. One path went on forward in the direction of the mountains. The other ran its course through the forest.Imyrve felt grateful that the old man did not address Gard. Even at his age, her former master had not learned how to properly communicate with others. His life has not been quite an easy one. He had told her all about it. His father had been a powerful and proud merchant. He had been the main trader that Eseryl the third and his court had dealt with. For nearly eleven years he had supplied all the king's feasts with the most expensive wines and meats. Eseryl's wife and her friends had dressed in his fine silks and jewelry. His mother had been popular and well acclaimed and a very close companion to the queen and her daughters. Her advice and views had been greatly praised.Despite the fact that they had been low born and without being members of the king's council, Gard's parents had had control and power over it. When he had been born the midwife deemed him as frail and week, and had said that he would not survive for long. To her eyes, he had seemed too tiny to be a healthy ordinary child. Yet he lived.As a young boy Gard had been sickly and often had needed the presence of a healer at their household. Some years after, it had appeared that the boy had had no interest in kids' games and no skill at sword play or riding. Yet he showed a pronounced eagerness for books and history. And so his mother made sure he got the finest teaching there was“All of that ended once Cerel, Eseryl’s brother, took the crown. Folk had named him the pleasant king for all the wickedness he had done. My parents, especially my mother and her companions at court had shown their disagreement with the way he Cerel ruled”.Gard had told Imyrve.”“A word from his grace and all his opposers were slaughtered, their homes burned and their children enslaved…”Yeffer grew neither in Eldariand nor in Marcolon. Its colors had amazed Imyrve when she had first landed on this country. The bark on its trunk was made of long roughly cracked patches of dirty dark brown. The crown of the tree was thick with golden liefs that made it glow radiantly under the rays of the sun. In summer, elongated fruits with an inky black color sprouted from its branches.The area about them swarmed with yeffer and was flecked here and there with dark spruce. The dirt lane they were following was overrun with thick grass. Bees were whizzing around the flowering trees in masses. The forest floor was carpeted with green short swards. Shaded flowers and fat bogging mushrooms thrived under the shadows of the trunks.They were not very far incide the woods when they heard the burble of a flowing stream. It was as clear as glass and no more than five feet of width. The rill went through the road and made a deep round pool where it crossed it. Its bed was paved with many sized smooth rocks. They traversed it, refilled their water skins, watered the horses, then went on.At dusk they arrived at their destination. The absence of trees made a large square of free space. In the middle stood a great ring-shaped tall tour. Three feet of green bush walls was about it. The top of the building was garlanded with an immense number of mud nests. Grey winged birds with white bellies flitted in and out of their homes.They left the river well behind, yet from inside the walls came a sound of water-rushes. The way which led within was barred by a tall gate of faded silver color. It was made of many swerving metal tongues in the likeness of vines. Its locked latch was located on its inner side, even so it could be reached from the outside. There was a wooden sign on top. These words were inscribed on it, 'Holy garden, The kingdom of bees, 943 AAOSM". (After the appearance of the second moon).Gard passed his hands between the bars and with much effort lifted the latch for it was rustes and has not been moved for quite a time. He pushed the gate with the last drop of power that was left in him then sat exhaustingly where the gate once stood shut. He appeared worn out and pale faced. He breathed heavily."I am going to have a look around the walls." Imyrve said with a high voice as if speaking with an old person."We will have dinner and rest after. Just be stronger for a bit more."The sky was growing dim and the sun was shying away behind the mountains. Murky shadows spread under the trees. For a short while Imyrve stood with closed eyes, listening to the music of the woods; the gentle cries of birds, the sound of the dancing grass, the murmur of the slithering air on tree leaves and far away trunks moaned in a crackling resonance.what an enchanting place!. Though she did not consider herself as a great traveler nor did she journeyed that much, she supposed that Monteria was the most beautiful land on Arath.Since she have been here, she came to agree with the words of the well revered eldariandi poet Doris broken-wing. A crippled boy who grew up to roam all the known lands and seas and to write many widespread common songs. Only few lines of his portrayal of this continent could she recall:Her wild heart which was already aflame,All men desperately longed to tame,Her beauty put all the other ladies to shame,Monteria was the precious maiden's name.The history of the realm this country had once been was packed with struggles and battles, yet its landscape seemed untouched by man's hands, untainted with his befouled work of war. The local architecture gave Imyrve an impression that the buildings blended so well with the wildlife. Everything that commons constructed looked as if it has been part of the scenery since the beginning.She drew a dagger from her boots, pivoted it in her hand so that the blade was hidden behind her arm. She went to do her inspection.Upon her return to the gate, Dolly was uneasily nuzzling the face of a collapsed Gard. She ran toward them. Her companion waw breathing heavily and shivering with fever. She put his arm around her neck and pulled him up trying to drag his body into the tower. She was surprised when she found herself an hour later succeedingly making him a bed and lowering his heat.Outside she found a pale of damp mouldy firewood. There was a good amount. She doubted that the logs were in a great state to produce rich flames, yet the wood burned fine as she kindled it in the fireplace. She put water in a kettle and brought it to boil, then tossed some potatoes and carrots that she got from Jenny for a coppery rofin.(A golden coin is called bin, silver coins are called dins. The copper one is a rofin.)When the soupe was nearly ready, she put few herbs that she picked on the river side earlier that day. Waking Gard, she gave him a warm bowl. "Eat slowly, there is yellow-feire and wolf-tongue in it (Herbs), it will help to ease the weariness". He thanked her. She ate hastily, then went out to take care of the horses.Dolly was chomping leaves from a shrub near the door of the tower. The other mounts were some feet away from him. She took them by their leads and moved to close the outer gate. Then it occurred to Imyrve that she has not yet explored the inside of the walls. There was a stone paved track which led from the entrance to the tower. At either side, thorn flowers spread viciously, entangled and arose high. She walked past the tower, to the rear side of the garden. There, in the midst of the bushes was a pot shaped fountain dubbed with foamy algae. Some feet to the left, a well was dug and built. It was covered by a round trapdoor-like assembled wood planks. Finding a source of water cheered her up. She unloaded and released the animals to water them selfs.Beyond the fountain, a wise circle was laid. Constructed of grey marble. An empty pool was in its centre. This is a modest one. Usually the widows yards had all sort of paintings, carvings and sculptures on them. The folk in Monteria were boastfully proud about their religion. Imyrve realised that once she perceived the costly expenses that were spent on the circles.The skies were almost entirely dark as she entered the tower again. The building was quite spacious. A stair swiveled upwards around a pillar which stood in the middle of the base. Gard, not shivering anymore, was seated near the fire with his back to the wall. She moved past him and climbed the stairs.The second floor was all empty but for a desk. Its top was covered by a mass of letters. Imyrve found a book buried among the papers. The songs of the gods.A drawing of the widow was on the cover. The illustration was framed by an egg-shaped silver chain. The goddess was bathing in the shafts of the sunlight. Her hair fell on her back and shoulders in curtains of dense white silk. Although her face was peaceful and serene, her jaws were tense and tightened. On her lap sat two twin infants.Veya and Vadey, the mother and father of all men. One of her elder children was holding a golden crown over her head. Behind the figures, the world unfolded with all its stars and colors. Imyrve discerned the moons, tiny as pearls, set on the widow's rings. She opened the book on the fourth page.The second song, were the words written at the top of the sheet. She read the verses that were in front of her:Through the wide dark world they flew, Fashioning the expanse as they wish,Yet in the heart of the lady sadness grew,For she could never feel no joy or bliss,And only her mate knew what to do,This curse of futility i can vanquish,To her he vowed,Vowed that her desires will come true,Their gloom and despair he would banish,So many a thing all together he brew,Still what came out could not be but devilish,To end it, all his vigour and power on it he threw,Her wishes, the lady was now compelled to relinquish.The lord brawled with all his might,The strength of darkness was too great,Its strikes shone awfully bright,On the lord it put an extensive weight.His determination for triumph was tested,Chaotic was the music their clash emitted,Space and time were briskly shattered,His doomed destiny the lord accepted.Dominion and control he had no more,The pressure of the blows shook his core,At the devil's soul in despair he tore,Thus their vital parts they could not restore.Light and warmth swarmed the emptiness,Suddenly, a cry of hope echoed widely,The shake its Weight set on the world was endless,The grace of the newborn sun was holy, Rock and water danced in a grand mess,From it, green things sprouted rapidly,Air was made of scents and dampness,Up above, the golden stars burned hotly,Mountains arose to a great highness,Life was shaped into beings slowly,Yet the fading of her mate the lady had to witness,She felt the future in her belly lastly. For a brief moment, Imyrve was filled with a great sense of hope. Then remembering how close to their destination they were, the feeling left her at once. She shut the manuscript and went down to make her bed.

Where Fairies Dwell Part 9Ren’s head felt like it was pounding, and his body felt like it was burning, he looked around and saw his seven attackers start to surround him. Ren’s feet wobbled as he got to his feet, in an instant one of the attackers charged straight at Ren punching him straight in the stomach, sending him flying straight towards another attacker that gave him a quick and powerful roundhouse kick. Ren was back on the ground as the attackers readied their next move. “Ren come on we have to get out of here!”, Noir screamed at Ren as he started to glow Black. Ren mustered up all the strength he could and sprinted past the group, only to immediately stop in his tracks, as he looks down, he saw weird markings all over his body. “Good my seal works.”, one of the attackers spoke, “If you try to move too far away from any of us you’ll stop dead in your tracks.” Another one of the attackers struck his back with a slash of fire leaving a burn mark on his back. As the attackers moved towards Ren, he felt he was able to move again, he then formed a fireball in his hand and as he threw a lightning bolt came down and struck him. “What was that !?”, Noir exclaimed. As they looked up, they saw a cloud hover over them Ren moved away from the cloud but it kept following him, as another lightning bolt came down Ren tried to roll out of the way but he saw that his left leg has sunk into the ground lightning struck him again as he let out a scream of pain as he fell back to the ground his foot being freed from the dirt. Elsewhere in a hallway King Tyrell appears out of thin air, with an angry look on his face. He makes his way towards a pair of doors forcing them open with a loud bang. “Archduke Gard, what is the meaning of this!?!”, Tyrell screamed towards a young man sitting at a desk focusing on a book. “Always a pleasure to see you too, your highness.”, the Archduke spoke with annoyance in his voice. “Answer my question dammit!”, Tyrell responded with anger still present in his voice. “And what have I done this time?”, he responded feigning ignorance. “Don’t give me that. The kid just got attacked by a group of candidates. The interesting part is that these candidates are all children of nobles that work directly under you. You put them up to this didn’t you” Archduke Gard gave a scoff and spoke, “Oh come now, maybe I let it slip over a dinner or two about a promising candidate whose fairy would be very valuable, and I may have also said that the best bet for taking him down would be to team up on him. Even so is any of that so wrong, many other candidates have teamed up for this exam, and none of them are cheating you made sure of that haven’t you.” King Tyrell had no rebuttal against this statement, everything he said was true and there wasn’t anything he could do about this. “Now if you have nothing else to say could you please leave me back to my research.”, Gard asked with clear arrogance in his voice. With anger brimming in Tyrell, it took all he had to leave the room with grace, before teleporting back to the observatory. Back in the exam grounds Ren once again was collapsed on the ground as the attackers readied their final attack. “Ren come on you gotta get up!”, Noir shouted at Ren, but he didn’t move he just stayed on the ground looking directly at his attackers. All the attackers let out a barrage of attacks lightning, fire, poison, rocks came flying towards him. In that moment Ren used the last the magic he had and vanished from sight. All seven of them looked around trying to find where he went, suddenly behind their leader the girl with blue hair Ren putting her in a hold and backing away a several meters. “Wh-what are you doing? Let go!”, she exclaimed at Ren. “Gi-give me the antidote.”, Ren said weakly as he tried to keep his hold on her. “Never”, she groaned. “Ok well hope you like lightning.”, as he said that he directed her head towards the storm cloud above them ready to strike both of them. “Y-you’re bluffing that’ll hit you too. Ha ha”, she laughed at Ren. “You wanna test tha-that.”, Ren said with a smirk on his face. The cloud above them started crackling more and more and suddenly she broke, “Ggh, fine left pocket.” Ren reached into her pocket and true to her word a vial was there, just as the lightning came down Ren released her and moved out of the way leaving her to get struck by lightning, she fell to the ground in pain. Quickly before the other attackers realized what happened Ren took the cure, slowly he felt his strength return and his head felt less foggy. Suddenly one of the attackers shouted as he charged at Ren, “Don’t think cause your not poisoned that you stand a chance.”, he lunges with a powerful punch but with his strength back Ren was able to dodge the attack. “Noir!”, Ren shouted and in response Noir started to glow giving Ren magic once again, using this magic he caused a large roots to come out of the ground wrapping around his attacker and slammed him into the ground and after a second he vanished. The five remaining attackers could only watch as their comrades were both defeated, their gaze focuses again on Ren as they get into a ready stance. “Alright we’re switching to plan B”, one of them shouted. All five of them retreated into the forest area behind them, forcing Ren to follow due to the seal. In the forest Ren continued chasing after the attackers but suddenly one of then released a giant cloud obscuring Ren’s vision. Ren stopped running and tried to look around but to no matter where he looked all he saw was cloud. “Focus on their life energy.”, Ren said to himself as a veil of green light formed around him. Out of the cloud one of the attackers appeared from above going for a fierce downward kick as Ren dodged it the kick struck the ground causing it to break apart. Ren then engulfed his hand left hand in fire and the other he surrounded with ice he gave a several swift punches to the attackers stomach, but the attacker refused to show pain. The attacker tried to step back but couldn’t looking down he saw that both his feet sank into the ground. Ren continued dealing punch after punch until the attacker finally started feeling pain, Ren then delivered a final uppercut pulling the attackers feet out of the ground sending him flying. As the attacker started to disappear Ren thought he had a chance to breathe however from the fog again came another attacker wielding a sword gave fast slash at Ren who blocked it with plant roots. The roots started to glow then exploded catching Ren’s right arm in the explosion. The pain in his arm was sharp but he couldn’t lose focus as the attacker swung with their sword down again, this time Ren dodged it giving him an opening as he charged his hand with lightning then aimed it directly at the attacker causing them to fall to the ground. For a minute they laid there until a light surrounded them and they vanished. Ren’s right arm then started to glow as the burns from the explosion started to heal as his breath returned to normal.A minute passed and finally the fog surrounding Ren started to dissipate as the three remaining attackers stood before Ren. They charged straight at him ready for a combined assault, however all three of them stopped dead in their tracks a with look of fear present on all their faces. Ren was confused then heard a twig snap behind him, he turned around and saw the blue haired girl from before standing right behind him. Everyone could tell something was wrong with her, the whites of her eyes turned pitch black, her hands were stained with some weird substance and in her left hand was an empty vial, and her fairy looks like all the life had been drained of it. That however isn’t what caused everyone to freeze in place it was the sickening aura she gave off as if they all knew that taking a step forward would lead to their death. A hundred thoughts raced around in his head, “How long has she been behind him?”, “What’s with this pressure?”, “Why can’t I move?” He suddenly, “This is like Claire and how she would do this to people”, but the more he thought the more he realized that this was different, “No there’s no magic behind this, is this really just her bloodlust?” Without even saying a word she opened her hand and raised it towards her teammates as three dark vines with the same ooze as on her hands sprang out of the ground and pierced their stomachs. All three of them looked at their stomachs in shock as they start coughing up blood. One of her teammates weakly said, “Rita why?”, that’s all they could say before a light surrounded all three of them as they disappeared. “Keep my out of your mouth you filth.”, she spoke in a cold voice that had didn’t do much to hide her bloodlust....
Where Fairies Dwell Part 8The knights exam has started and all across the trial grounds the sound of fighting can be heard. Some were fighting head on, some were laying traps, and others opted for hiding. Their approaches were different but all of them had the same goal, being one of the 100 remaining participants and becoming a knight. As Ren looks down at the battleground as a fight between several candidates start to take place. Suddenly a candidate leapt straight at Ren tackling him out of the tree before they hit the ground Ren broke free of the guys hold, punching him several feet away, and landing on his feet. After he landed a girl with a sword ran straight at him slashing at him, Ren blocked the attack then jumped back, her sword then started to glow as it turned into several knives that she threw straight at him. Thinking fast Ren put his hands to the ground making a wall of ice catching all the knives. Ren sent the ice wall ramming right into her sending her flying, before she could even hit the ground she vanished. Just then two guys on opposite ends charged towards Ren one with his hands on fire and the other with lightning coming off him. Just before they reached Ren, he jumped into the air causing both of them hit each other instead. In the air Ren focused his magic into the ground as the ground opened up swallowing the two candidates, as the hole in the ground closed up the candidates started to glow until the hole closed up completely. Ren then opened up the hole seeing no trace of them and no blood either causing Ren to breathe a sigh of relief. Just then more and more explosions happened around them as more candidates started joining in the fight. He turned to Noir and said to him, “Let’s get out of here.” After saying that he jumped onto a tree branch and jumped from tree to tree quickly vanishing from the current battlefield.Elsewhere in an observation a group of people wearing goggles sit focused intently on monitors just then they started speaking one after another, “Candidate 265 eliminated.”, “Candidate 1947 disqualified.”, “Candidate 221, 154, and 989 eliminated.” They continued listing off people as Claire and King Tyrell along with their fairies look at their own monitor. “Candidates are dropping one after another as usual.”, Tyrell commented. “These are the small fries, the more skilled candidates won’t drop out for a couple hours maybe even a full day.”, Claire responded. “True but you have to admit this year’s group looks extremely promising I mean when was the last time we saw this much mayhem right at the start.”, Tyrell responded. A smile crept across Claire’s face as she said, “Not for a decade or two that’s for sure.” Just then a little boy in flashy clothes jumped in between them, “Calm down lady we still have who knows how long to go before this exam’s over don’t get too excited right at the start.”, the boy spoke with an enthusiastic and honeyed voice. “Caesar what are you doing here?”, Tyrell asked in a surprised by his sudden appearance. “The archduke sent me you absolute waste of space king!”, Caesar said with a fullhearted smile on his face. Lord Tyrell immediately went into a fetal position, “Come on man can you at least try to fix this ego problem you are the king after all.”, Treven said annoyed at his partner’s childish nature. “Anyway, why does the archduke care about the knights exam?”, Claire continued. “Come now this is a big moment for a lot of people a lot of noblemen’s children are taking part this year.”, Caesar paused for a moment and continued, “Oh yeeeah. Don’t you two have a kid or two taking part this year including the protégé of yours with the black fairy.” This statement caused both Claire and Tyrell to instantly get serious. “I wonder how their doing, why don’t we check on them?”, Caesar said his hand creeping closer to the monitor the two were watching. “Oh, sorry you can’t use this one.”, Tyrell said before punching the monitor shattering it, “It’s broken.” Tyrell said staring daggers at Caesar. “Geez no need to be hostile if you want me to leave just say so.” Caesar starts to head towards the room’s exit slowly facing towards them, “Well I’ll be off now. I just came to see how the exam was progressing.” Before he exited the room he stopped and said, “The archduke gets what he wants always doesn’t matter if it’s money, land, or even people. It doesn't matter that you’re the king.” with that he left the room leaving Claire and Tyrell with nothing but nerves. “Someone get me another monitor!”, Tyrell screamed. “Be careful Ren the archduke’s going to make his move soon.”, Claire said.Two hours have passed, and the mayhem of the exam starts to slowly die down, out of the 3,065 candidates about 1,300 have already been eliminated. Somewhere in the forest biome Ren is seen running through the trees in pursuit of something. “Ren do you have any idea where we’re going?”, Noir asked. “Yes, I need to find a place to survey the land.”, Ren replied. “As it stands right now, we have no information about this area, so the best bet is to find a place high up to see as much of the battleground as possible.”, he continued. “Ok that makes sense but where are we going then?”, Noir asked. Instead of asking Ren pointed in a direction. Noir followed his finger and saw a giant tree that reaches several miles into the sky. “This is probably a bad idea you know that.”, Noir said in protest. “Maybe, but it’s our best bet.”, Ren said. Ren starts picking up speed until he runs at highspeed. As Ren gets closer to the tree suddenly an arrow came out of no where piercing his leg, causing him to tumble as he loses all the speed he had. “Ren are you ok?!”, Noir asked startled. Ren slowly got up as his leg wobbles trying to get to his feet, “Y-yeah I just need a minute, and some magic.”, responded in quite a bit of pain. Noir suddenly started glowing as the cuts and scrapes on Ren slowly started to fade. He then focused on his leg where the arrow hit him and pulled it out slowly causing him to grunt from the pain, until he completely pulled it out. “Look alive someone’s here.”, Ren said to Noir. Ren and Noir then looked around trying to find where their attacker came from suddenly they heard the snap of a branch, as Ren and Noir turn their head they saw a guy emerging from the trees with a fairy indigo color. He had neatly kept blond hair, and rather fancy clothes considering this is a battleground. “Judging by the color of your fairy I take it your Ren.”, he spoke with a voice showing hostile intent. “Yeah, and who are you?”, Ren asked staying on guard for an attack. “Theo but that doesn’t matter just give me the fairy and you won’t get hurt.”, he responded hostile intent growing in his voice. “Never.”, Ren responded showing he’s ready for a fight as Noir glowed Black. “So be it.”, as the attacker said that he pulled on a rope in his hand noises can be heard throughout the forest as a barrage of arrows fly out of the trees at Ren. The arrows came one after another as Ren tried to move around and dodge them despite his best effort some arrows were still able to scratch him. As the arrows stopped raining down Ren shot towards Theo at incredibly fast speed punching him straight in stomach and sending him flying several meters. “Pretty good if I wasn’t wearing a steel chest plate I’d be done for.”, Theo slowly gets to his feet, “Alright time to get serious.”, he then breaks off a branch of a nearby tree, the branch then starts to glow as it turns into a sword. Theo then charges at Ren readying his sword he then swings with a strong downward slash Ren dodges the slash cutting into his shirt and the sword gets stuck in the ground. Theo then abandons the sword continuing to charge forward, only to be met by Ren’s fire he jumps back but not before the fire hits his shoulder. Theo grabs his shoulder in pain as Ren goes in for another attack with a fist of fire. Theo dodges rolling behind Ren he then grabs an arrow turning it into a knife before going to stab him. The knife lodged into Ren’s back as he let out a scream of pain, but as Theo tried to jump back he realized he couldn’t looking down he saw that roots have grown around his legs. “Game over”, Ren spoke holding back the pain. He then placed his hands on Theo’s shoulders and in an instant froze him solid, a moment later a familiar light appeared around Theo, and he vanished leaving behind an ice mold of him. Ren struggled for a moment to get the knife out of his back, then applied healing magic to his injuries. “You good to keep moving?”, Noir asked. “Yeah, I just need to ngh…”, Ren could finish his sentence as he suddenly dropped to the ground. “Are you alright, what’s wrong?”, Noir asked. “Ngh, my head fells like its pounding.”, Ren groaned trying to fight back the pain. “Good looks like my poison’s starting to set in.”, a mysterious feminine voice from behind a tree spoke. “Theo, you did your part, too bad you couldn’t last another minute, but oh well.” The pain in Ren started to get worse as the voice ringed in his head, “Wh-who’s there? Show yourself!”, he screamed. Out of the trees came a girl about Ren’s age with long bright blue hair along with six other people. “I’m gonna make this quick give us the fairy and I’ll give you the antidote.”, the girl in front spoke. “N-never.”, Ren replied trying to get to his feet while fighting back the pain. “Oh well, I wanted to avoid this, but we were given permission if needed. Everyone…kill him.”, as she said a wicked smile that showed only malice crept across her face.
Where Fairies Dwell Part 7In the dead of night in a room shrouded in darkness two men at opposite ends of a table one wearing all black was sitting and sweating profusely while the other chose to stand while baring a cold expression on his face. “I’ll ask you one more time, did I or did I not give you a mission to retrieve a sleeping black fairy from a sleeping boy?”, the man standing asked. “Y-yes that’s, that’s correct…”, immediately the one sitting was cut off. “Oh, good I wasn’t mistaken, so why do we not have a black fairy?”, he asked tone remaining cold. Desperate and scared the man in black explained, “It-it was that doctor she’s protecting the kid, no matter what I did when I was in her presence I-I couldn’t move it was like I was frozen with fear.” The man standing spoke again voice remaining cold as ice yet one look into his eyes and you can see the rage behind them, “So your saying that your fear over a single lady is more important than loyalty to the Quarus kingdom?” The man in black’s eyes went wide with fear and tried to speak but the one standing in the blink of an eye went the man in black’s end and put his hand over his mouth making him unable to talk. “I don’t think you truly understand what happened I directly gave you a mission. When doing that I believed you understood that taking on this mission meant completing it or die trying. Seeing as you did neither the only logical explanation is that you disobeyed a direct order from me the archduke, the one noble in this kingdom that has as much power as the king himself, to disobey me is to turn betray our very kingdom.” Quickly the man in black removed the others hand and spoke with more fear and desperation in his voice than ever, “No your wrong I would die for this kingdom, I would die for you! There’s I wouldn’t do if it meant this kingdom’s future!” The man standing put his finger to his chin then spoke, “Do you really mean that?”, the archduke asked. “Yes, of course!”, the man in black said. “Hmm alright then.”, the archduke said with a chuckle before turning around, “If your so eager… then die.” Immediately the man sittings arms quickly went limp as silence fell over the room, a few moments later the man’s head fell to floor. “Utter waste.”, he said as he walked out of the room. Outside the room a man seemingly a messenger stood waiting outside, “We put together the squad you requested sire.”, the messenger said bowing his head. The archduke smirked, “Good tell them the mission starts in two days.”The next day came and went without incident true Claire’s words Ren and Noir both slept for the entire day. Whether to make sure they were both well rested or to make sure stress wouldn’t overcome them, either way with day of fate here all Ren and Noir do is have faith in themselves and everything they did for the past year in preparation for today. As the sun shined through the window Ren and Noir began to stir to life. Ren looked around and saw a change of clothes ready for him consisting of a red shirt with a black scale pattern, black pants, boots, and a grey and white cloak. Ren put on the shirt, pants, and boots but left the cloak behind, he then went over to Noir and nudged him awake Noir gave a big yawn before waking up. He then looked at Ren and noticed his new haircut Noir asked about his new haircut and dye, to which Ren explained how he woke up in the middle of the night and ran into Claire. “Yeah, I get it this whole thing is stressful for me too.”, Noir responded. “How about we get some practice in before tomorrow.”, Noir proposed to Ren. Suddenly the door opened, “I’m afraid we don’t have time that.”, said Claire walking in with a tray of food. “Eat up you two today’s the big day.”, she said passing the tray to them. “What are you talking about?”, Noir asked. “Well, you two actually slept through the whole day yesterday, so the exam is actually today.”, Claire explained casually. “WHAT!!”, Ren and Noir exclaimed, “How did this happen?”, Ren asked. “Well, you two were stressed so I used my magic to mess with your life force just a bit make didn’t wake up until now.”, Claire explained. Ren and Noir still looked at Claire with a subtle look of shock, “Man life magic is dangerous.”, Ren whispered to Noir. “Alright everyone up to speed now, good so eat up and get ready we gotta move.”, Claire said.Ren and Noir quickly ate their breakfast and left the room grabbing the cloak as well. They quickly caught up to Claire waiting at a balcony room, “Looks like you two are ready, how do the clothes fit you by the way?”, Claire asked. Ren moved his body around seeing how it felt then responded, “Fits great and I can move really well in it.” A hint of a satisfied smile crept across Claire’s face, “Glad to hear it, it’s important for when taking these exams to have clothes that fit you well without hindering movement.” Claire stared out at the early morning sky for moment before heading towards the exit as Ren put Noir on his shoulder and followed. Claire walked through the castle as Ren followed, they went through empty hallways and rooms for what seemed like no end until they arrived at a large pair of doors that when opened revealed set of stairs that spiraled downwards into a dark void. They all stood there for a moment and in the distance, they heard what sounded like footsteps coming from below. “This as far as I go…”, Claire spoke, “…just remember to relax and trust your training.” Ren started his descent down the stairs with Noir still on his shoulder. Ren walked down the stairs for what seemed like ages until finally he got to the bottom which was a flat area with dozens of men and women waiting as well. Ren looked around and couldn’t believe how many people were here, these people were all different in some sort of way from their hair, skin color, or height but they were all here for the exam just like Ren. Seeing how diverse the people here to put Ren at ease knowing that these people were just like him.Suddenly a loud boom came from the front of the room causing everyone to look in that direction to find a pedestal with a man standing on top of it. A purple light started to glow next to him as he spoke with a very loud voice. “Testing, testing, 1, 2, ok. Hello everyone and welcome to the Qarus Kingdom’s Knight Exam, before we begin, I allow me to explain a few things to you. This exam is held once a year and is intended to find the best of the best our kingdom has to offer in order to protect our people. Which is why out all of the 3,065 candidates we only accept the top 100...” As he said that murmurs were heard throughout the room, ‘3,065 candidates…’, Ren thought to himself, ‘only 100 of them pass.’ As he contemplated that another thought popped into his head as he looked around, ‘There can’t possibly be that many people in this room.’ The man at the top continued speaking, “Now let us begin, as some of you may have guessed we will not actually be holding the exam here you all shall be sent to the real exam sight in 10, 9…”, as he started counting Ren noticed a beam of light coming out from beneath his feet as a magic circle formed around him, everyone around him noticed as well, some tried to move out of the circles way but the circle just followed him. “5,4…”, the man continued counting, Ren suddenly realized that he’s seen something like this before when he met the king and realized what was about to happen. “2, 1”, as the countdown finished everyone including him vanished from the room in an instant.Suddenly Ren found himself in a large, forested area surrounded on all sides by large dark trees that seemed to stretch all the way to the heavens. Looking around more Noir pointed out that a few other people can be seen through the trees all of them as confused as he and Ren were. Suddenly a loud ringing came out of nowhere grabbing everyone’s attention. A voice different from the previous one spoke, “As we were saying before here is where you all shall be taking your exam. In order to get a good understanding of your skills, you all shall compete in this expansive area and widdle down the candidates until we have only 100. In this area you will find 8 unique biomes from the blazing desert to the freezing tundra as well as a few other surprises. Now the rules are as follows this exam consists of 3,065 candidates as you know and will not stop until we reach 100 survivors, if it takes a month to do so, so be it. A candidate is eliminated when it is deemed impossible for them to continue, give up of their own choosing, or are about to die, once eliminated they will immediately be teleported out of the area. The only other rule is no use of magic items unless you enchanted them yourself, we have a panel of judges watching you all very closely you won’t be able to hide anything from us.” Suddenly Ren saw something glow in the corner of his eye as he looked, he saw the ground another candidate was standing on start to glow, and in an instant vanished. These people were serious they really do see everything. The voice continued to speak, “Other than that anything goes use any tactic you can think of to be one of the 100 remaining people. And one last piece of advice if anyone feels discouraged about hiding as you think that’ll reflect poorly on your evaluation don’t be, our kingdom is need of many different skills so we don’t value a persons fighting power over their stealth.” ‘That’s a good strategy if it was time based but if everyone just started to hiding this might never end.’, Ren thought to himself. “Alright now let the exam commence ready…”, the voice shouted. Noir looked around saw that two people were staring at them, “Uh Ren”, Noir said poking his partner trying to grab his attention unfortunately Ren was too distracted by the announcement. “Set!”, the voice continued, as Noir looked again around, he saw the glow of a fairy next to each of them getting brighter and brighter. “Reeeeen!”, Noir said again this time pulling on his ear, as he began to glow as well feeding Ren magic. “GO!”, the voice rang out louder than ever, and as he said that it seemed like time started moving at only 1/100 its normal speed. Ren finally heard Noir’s pleads and saw the two other candidates as they fired off their magic at him at the same time. One was a large blast of icicles that flew through the air going straight through trees, while the other split the ground his feet as it rapidly approached Ren and Noir. Without a second to think Ren immediately used the magic Noir gave him and jumped at high speeds out of the way of both attacks landing himself on a branch several dozen feet off the ground. He escaped only by a hair a moment later and probably would’ve failed the exam after the first second. One thing to Ren and Noir became very clear though if they want to survive, they can’t let their guards down even for a moment.
How to Kill a StarHailey always saw herself becoming a famous movie star one day. She felt assured that she had the alluring physique and charming personality to blow away the audience. So why had Hollywood ignored her? Hailey sent in countless video additions to several film studios in her neighborhood, but most of them simply ignored her. The few offers she did receive were background roles in forgettable B-movies. It was all some sick joke. Couldn't the world see what an amazing star she was destined to become? Hailey assured herself she had all the qualities to become a famous celebrity so there was no reason she was so overlooked. Still, she subjected herself to those miserable roles for the sake of building a resume. It was so degrading for her to star in those trashy exploitation films. The scripts were always lackluster and the other actors just phoned everything in. Hailey felt that the producers should be honored to have someone as talented as her in their presence. After years of trudging through several low quality movies, Hailey finally saw her big break. There was a lead role for an upcoming movie that while still low budget, it was part of a franchise that had a significant online presence and several forms of merchandise.  Finally, she was going to shine! She headed to the audition where she gave it her all. She showed the director named Faust her years of practice and performed each line with genuine emotion. For additional support, she donned a revealing outfit that was sure to have the director's eyes glued on her. Hailey thought she'd be a shoe in for sure. It was to her dismay that the lead role was handed someone named Summer Witherspoon. Hailey recognized her from the several community acting workshops she attended. God, was she such a showoff. Always buttering up to directors and giving them little gifts at the end of the day. Hailey was certain she probably slept her way to the top and that made her go red in the face. It wasn't for moral reasons; she was just mad she hadn't done it first. Hailey wasn't going to let this get her down. No. She had something sinister planned. One day she hit Summer up on social media and played nice with her. She told her how estatic she was for her and congratulated Summer for landing the role. The two took to a local coffee shop further chat things up. Summer felt a vein bulge in her head as Summer yapped on about how stellar her career had been and all the amazing opportunities she reveived.  ' Those roles were supposed to be mine,' Hailey thought to herself. ' You have no idea how privileged you are.' Barely surpressed venom flared in her eyes. Once Summer excused herself to the bathroom, Hailey made her move by stirring a pill in Summer's drink. It was a higly potent drug that was sure to have Summer out of commission for a while. Hailey barely suppressed her snickering as she watched the woman finish her drink. The effects were quick. Summer began slurring her words while struggling to keep her eyelids open. Playing the role of a caring friend, Hailey offered to drive Summer home. Such an easy victory. Hailey dropped the sleeping Summer off at her house and made sure to block the director's number from Summer's phone. With Summer being a no show at the follow-up audition,  Faust naturally went with Hailey. Satisfaction shone on her face after her hard earned victory. When Hailey asked when they would start filming,  the director surprised her by announcing that it would happen the following night. She hadn't expected for things to move so quickly but she definitely wasn't complaining. The director gave her the time and address of the film shoot before going on his way. **** Hailey arrived at the shoot the following day with a lump of anxiety growing in her chest. The location of the shoot was a dilapidated looking building with a heavy coat of dirty and grime. It looked far too grungy to be a film set. Did she misread the address? No, maybe this was all for the sake of atmosphere. She was going to star in a horror movie so Hailey figured the director wanted an authentic setting for the film. Still, Hailey wished he hadn't chosen such a sketchy neighborhood. She felt as if some vagrant or violent criminal could pop up from any corner.  Steeling her nerves, Hailey entered the building and felt a chilling wind crash into her face. She clutched her arms as she scanned her surroundings. A heavy layer of dust coated every surface of the lobby. It seemed that the building was an apartment that has long been abandoned. "Hello?" Hailey asked weakly in hopes of alerting Faust. She waited and waited but the man never arrived. She double checked her phone to see if she made a mistake, but no, she was right where she needed to be. 《 Hey I'm at the set. Are you here?》 She texted Faust in hope of finally getting a response. She paced around the lobby several times until she heard the faint sound of footsteps overhead. " Faust?" She muttered almost to herself. " I understand that you're a busy man, but my time is also valuable." A loud thud then reverberated throughout the building, causing Hailey's entire body to flinch. She looked upwards as the footsteps slowly approached the staircase to her left. Hailey neared the staircase in hopes of finally getting the film started with Faust, but what she saw instead made her blood run cold. A man wearing a porcelain mask and a black jumpsuit came charging at her while brandishing a knife. Hailey barely had time to comprehend what was happening before her body took off running. A small part of her hoped this was some weird form of method acting to get her acclimated to the role. She could feel the knife slice away at her back, the blade just barely missing her skin. Her heart beat against her chest with so much intensity that Hailey feared it would burst. She was just about to ascend a flight of stairs when her assailant yanked her arm and threw her to the ground with tremendous force. She felt her brain rattle when the back of her head slammed against the decrepit wood floor. Hailey's vision grew blurry in that moment but she could still make out the attacker raising their knife before plunging it down. Hailey clutched her purse and used it as a shield to block the strike. The blade protruded from the other end on the purse, only inches away from her face. With the attacker temporarily stunned, Hailey kicked the man in the crotch and took off sprinting towards the door. Her hand grabbed at the knob to no avail. The door was locked tight and refused to move.  " Shit!" She cursed her luck before dashing down the end of the hall and into one of the many vacant rooms. She hoped that there would be a window she could escape out off. Using the flashlight of her phone, she illuminated her immediate surroundings only to instantly regret doing so. All around her was a collection of what looked to be mannequins. They were all dressed in ornate darkly colored clothes that contrasted against their pale skin. The craftmanship for the mannequins were impeccable. Their proportions were perfectly humanoid down to the texture of their skin. Except... something about it was wrong. The contorted expressions of fear on their faces was far too visceral to come from plastic. The same could be said for the color of their eyes and the texture of their hair. It was too perfect to be an imitation. With shaky hands, Hailey gave one of the mannequins a pinch on the cheek amd shrieked in horror when she felt the flesh move. " Don't look so shocked. You'll be the newest addition to my collection. " Searing paim clouded Hailey's mind as a knife was embedded deep into her back. Her body went limp and went crashing straight to the floor. The last thing she saw that day was Faust looking down at her with the widest of grins. ********   Somewhere in the underbelly of the city, a black van drove down several vacant streets until reaching it destination. Within the van are several prized goods that will sell for a fortune. The driver of the van parks the van in front of a modest two story home where his loyal customer eagerly awaits him. The driver leaves the van with the product by his side. The customer greets him and hands the man and generous wad of cash. " So what's the story of this cutie over here?" He asked. Faust was all too eager to answer. " Oh, its just the usual tale of a beautiful woman paying the price of stardom. I'm sure you’ll enjoy her quite well.  Hailey sat in a wheelchair, her eyes seemingly devoid of life and her body stock-still. Her hair and clothes were pretty enough that she could pass for a doll. Her lips haven't moved in quite some time, but there was never a moment she wasn't pleading to be relased from her captivity. This was her new life. A human doll that was the star in some man's sick fantasy....
Non Fiction Prose
Against Two Israelisms: IntroductionThis might seem a little odd to discuss when on Odysee I just got through, at the time of writing, with mocking atheists for going after the Flat Earthers and Young Earthers so often. Am I being a hypocrite for tackling a seemingly fringe opinion of a different variety? No, I am not. The big difference is, atheists often exclude any stronger cases within the same overall theological camp they try to debunk, namely Christianity. The multiple Israelism cults seeking to replace confessional and orthodox Christendom have no such luxury in this regard to tackle. Not only that, but this clown world we live in necessitates that the church equip itself with answers while the allure of “anti-establishment” opinions takes paradoxical hold in today's society. The more the establishment makes the opposite sound more reasonable, the more problems like this will persist where just about anything is believed if it seems like an underground view. Before anyone protests that I am simply doing this because I am in what is called either “the Matrix” or the “NPC” crowd in certain circles on the internet, know this: I never even once hid my more libertarian views politically, up to and including hints at the Non-Aggression Principle and Voluntaryism. The concept of a more decentralized society having a better chance at a just and moral people is, and always was, an anathema within both the conservative and “progressive” circles that demand centralized authorities via ballot. If you say that I parroting establishment ideas, consider this paragraph a counterpoint to such accusations. It takes an outcast to understand an outcast, if nothing else. Because of how often such groups of people as these cults get censored, the task of debunking their ideas is difficult for the sheer fact the citations get lost in this current political insanity. For that reason, I will rely in part on sources that I could find from alternatives to the mainstream outlets. It is easier to find them on Odysee than elsewhere, as the site is nowhere near as censorious as most or even all others. This is to my advantage as an Odysee user myself. Until such a time that Odysee goes the way of Myspace (for anyone old enough to remember the site), this will be one of the most reliable sources for heretical or otherwise asinine claims made by non-Christians. This will tie into the Heretical Nazis series promised on Odysee, as it relates to claims of Jewishness (or, in some cases the lack thereof) and how some people try to claim Jesus for themselves along ethnic lines. Among the claims examined will be whether black folks and/or folks of British descent (the latter including myself) can claim to be the true Israel along ethnic lines. Other claims examined will include whether today's Ashkenazi Jews are Khazars, the accusation of America being the Great Babylon, and whether white people can reasonably be called Edomites/Idumeans. By the end of this, I hope to establish that all of these claims and more are false by way of hermeneutics, logical deductions, historical examinations, and other such methods. Vocab Malone and others like him have done much of the legwork in uncovering these cults, so I will rely in part on their work. To give you an idea of what kind of research was done, an annotated bibliography shall be given for each section. Following that is an introduction to the subject for which the annotated bibliography is given. The main body will go over the arguments back and forth within said topic. The conclusion will summarize the arguments for my case and give some ideas on how to proceed moving forward. This is done so that the American church, especially that within the overall Anglican Communion by way of CONNAM and GAFCON, will be better equipped to deal with these ideas and hopefully bring some of these cultists over to our sovereign Lord. It is for this reason that the final product will be published first on the InterPlanetary File Network before hitting the surface web via Odysee. Anyone that wants to view the IPFS original upon completion of this project can do so after installing the IPFS Companion extension on their respective browsers. The extension can currently be installed on either Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, or the Brave browser.

WWW #46 How to Plan a Story(This post was uploaded early on 6/27/23 for subscribers. The public version was uploaded on 7/5/23) Wednesday Writing Weeklies #46 How to Plan a StoryWhen writing a story, there are many ways to start. You can start writing without any direction, you can make an outline, or do all the above and just go for it. When I get a brand-new idea, I usually write it all down in one go. This is how I make sure I don’t forget anything, and I get all my ideas on the page. Next, I build an outline. Today, I want to show you how I come up with a simple outline! The CharacterI always start with a character first. I pick a name, age, and their personality. This can be random, it can have meaning... whatever you like! Character Name: Lizzie MadisonAge: 24Personality: Chipper, thoughtful, overwhelmedNext, what do you think I should pick? You might be thinking about what she wears, what she likes to eat, maybe how she talks... but I want to guide you to something even more important. What does Lizzie want? You can dress your character up and make them very detailed, but what does that have to do with the story? Will the color of her shirt push the plot along? I don’t think so. Lizzie’s wants: Lizzie wants to get a promotion at work. Now, in real life and in a story, the character can’t always get what they want. If it was that easy, there would be no story to tell. For the next question, I ask myself, what is stopping Lizzie from achieving her goal? Lizzie’s Obstacles: A mean co-worker, Lizzie is often late to work, and Lizzie is a klutz. Poor Lizzie, it sounds like she can’t catch a break. Next, I ask myself, what is Lizzie willing to do to get what she wants? Lizzie’s abilities: She kisses up to management, she is a good worker, she will try to revenge prank her mean co-worker. Planning the PlotNow, we know what Lizzie is trying to do and how she is struggling. Let’s look at the details provided above and expand on them. Instead of adding brand new ideas to the story, I always build off of the prior details, so everything feels natural. Here are some questions I came up with based on the above information to help me brainstorm my plot. Why is Lizzie late to work? What kind of klutz is Lizzie? Why is Lizzie’s co-worker mean? What do they do to Lizzie? What is Lizzie’s manager like? What role does Lizzie work? Where does Lizzie work? What prank does Lizzie pull? Then, I answer everything to flesh out these ideas. Keep your answers simple. My answers: Lizzie is late to work because she has to babysit her little brother while her mom is at work. Lizzie often rushes around and tries to get things done too fast (in an effort to perform well) but this can lead to spills and accidents on the job. Lizzie’s co-worker likes to increase Lizzie’s messes. The co-worker (Fred) thinks she is not qualified for a promotion they are both competing for. Fred will spill stuff on purpose and trip Lizzie. Let’s pause and look at my above answers. They all build off each other. For example, Lizzie babysitting shows responsibility. I chose this to make her late. And if she is trying to do well and means well, she might rush around to get everything done at once which can lead to her making mistakes and being a general klutz. If Lizzie is trying her best but is struggling to get a promotion, a potential obstacle can be a jealous co-worker that wants her to lose. Lizzie works at a fast-food restaurant and in order to get back at her co-worker, I imagine she will reverse the tables. Set up a spill or accident so bad that Fred gets reprimanded. Being a sweet girl, Lizzie will probably be convinced into this path or revenge by other co-workers that are her friends. Another important detail is that things never go right on the first try. For example, if Lizzie tries to prank Fred, it’ll probably mess up. This will lead to her situation getting worse and her chances of promotion being lowered. Then she will have to try to recover and figure out how to get out of her situation. Maybe she can learn how to be the bigger person here and know it is wrong to stoop to the mean coworker’s level. To try and try again is important in storytelling. Plan an OutlineFrom only a few questions, we now have a whole story and a wealth of details! When I get to this part of the story, I usually write out a tiny outline focusing on the start, end, rise of conflict, and the climax of a story. Here is my mini outline: Lizzie is running late to work again after her mom gets home from her job. Lizzie arrives at work and slips in a spill. Enter Fred who laughs at her. Lizzie tries to get through the day. Manager announces they are leaving and will be promoting someone to take their spot. At home, Lizzie tells her mom about the job while helping with brother. Next day at work, Lizzie is working with a co-worker friend. They discuss the position and how to stop Fred from getting it. Fred comes in and is mean. Lizzie sets up a prank to get back at Fred. Lizzie launches her prank. Lizzie’s prank fails and the whole kitchen is a mess.The manager punishes all three workers. The next day, Lizzie comes to work earlier than normal and overhears Fred talking bad about her. Lizzie mopes at work. Fred is mean but takes it too far and does something in front of a customer. Lizzie stands up to Fred and defends the customer. Fred gets fired for his actions and Lizzie is apologized to by the manager. Lizzie gets promoted. Does this sound like the most exciting story? Probably not and it is so cheesy! But I wanted to show you how you can simply build an outline from scratch. From here, you can add more details and really flesh out what you want to see happen in the story. If it is a short story, I go ahead and add additional bullet points of information. If this is a longer piece of fiction, like a novel, I’ll split these parts up into chapters and continue to plan from there. ConclusionThat’s about it for today! What steps do you take when planning a story? What questions do you think are the most important to answer when planning? Best, Danni Lynn...
FatTinkerbell Part 19RECAP:In the previous story ( Black Friday Ordeal 1 ).We talked about a plethora of events that had gone down. Firstly, FatTinkerBell and her friend CaptainGirl had woken up too early to work overtime together on that Black Friday of 2019. In the morning they saw the most popular F-BOY supervisor; Robocop. Later in that same morning an incident had taken place where a pregnant woman had fallen from a flight of steps in the parking garage where FatTinkerBell was posted at coincidentally. Later on, as the day went by, several other crazy events took place at that Maze full of shoppers. Robocop seemed to be following FatTinkerBell all throughout the Maze all day long. Unlike ever before in the entire 11 months she's been working with him. Unlike ever before at all. It was Black Friday. and there were several other soldiers from other shifts that were there, that Robocop had to keep an eye on. BUT NO! All his attention once WeedGuy took over .. went on FatTinkerBell alone. Nearing the end of the night, FatTinkerBell saw as CaptianGirl left at 10PM all irritated and aggravated. She was talking on her phone with someone, raising her voice, walking away mentioning WeedGuy’s name out-loud. This is when FatTinkerBell realized something had gone wrong between the LEADERS, between the Supervisors., BLACK FRIDAY ORDEAL 2,

👆 MUSIC FOR THE SEASON IN THE STORY 👆 , | The Following Is A True Story Experienced By The Author |Once upon a time there was three people who happen to be leaders of the group. Those leaders got along just fine. One night the three leaders got together to talk and hang out. It was a special day of Black Friday when these leaders had most of the responsibility on their hands. We already know the traits of these leaders, how they look and how they behave. Ms.FatTinkerbell decided that she needs help and that she would call her team leader; Mr.Weedguy. So as Mr.Weedguy and Ms.FatTinkerbell talk through the walkie-talkies, once the conversation was over.. ,JUST KIDDING XDD!! LETS GET SERIOUS!! XD 😂 😂 😂FatTinkerbell had decided to give CaptainGirl a call after seeing her leave like that. It was taking a while for her to answer, however she did pick up. When she picked up, CaptainGirl seemed to be infuriated and she was talking smack about someone next to her when picking up the phone. It appeared that she was telling the story to her boyfriend in the car. CaptainGirl usually left at 8PM, but because it's Black Friday, and she picked up overtime, she was leaving at 10PM.FatTinkerbell says to her; “Are you ok, you left really fast, I was worried something happened to you ” So CaptainGirl just couldn’t hold it in, and she went; “ Okay I’m gonna tell you, but b--ch I swear to God, don’t tell no one, or I’ll find you ”. She was saying this in a pissed-off tone. FatTinkerbell felt worried about what she had to say. But she calmly responded “ I would never, you know me ”. CaptainGirl trusted her so much, as she’s told FatTinkerBell too much already ANYWAY. The 3 months they’ve known each other.. CaptainGirl had already spilled more than enough gossip and tea, that not trusting FatTink would be absurd. So HERE, is where the story takes a whole new turn. HERE is where things start to change forever. THIS is where the story at the outdoor Maze becomes more interesting.CaptainGirl says to FatTinkerBell, that an argument has gone down between the Supervisors inside the office. FatTinkerBell then immediately assumes that it had something to do with WeedGuy as she saw her walking away mentioning his name. So FatTink asks CaptainGirl if WeedGuy was involved in the argument. And she says that he was indeed involved. So then, as FatTinkerBell kept pushing her to reveal all the details throughout the entire phone call. Basically; it is revealed that WeedGuy was angry at Robocop, and he decided to cuss-out Robocop inside the tiny office in front of ALL THOSE SUPERVISORS. In front of the night Supervisors, the morning ones, the ones above him. In front of everyone!! In front of everyone who wore gold.😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 FatTinkerBell as she’s in love❤️ with Robocop, was 100% intrigued, like never before in the history of ever. ( *.* ). As her love ❤️ “Robocop” ❤️ had been following her and looking at her all day long. This is something she needed to know about… first-hand.FatTinkerBell now needs to find out why WeedGuy was angry; at his Hot twin-brother “Robocop”, and why he chose to cuss him out in front of all the Leaders. So FatTinkerBell kept questioning her bestie CaptainGirl as their conversation went on for 30-minutes Plus. CaptainGirl reluctantly reveals even more information in that phone call. She then reveals that WeedGuy had “yelled”.. “ raised his voice “ at Robocop, as he cussed him out. So basically, WeedGuy wasn't just talking down to him and insulting him, he was full on yelling at him and raising his voice at him in front of everyone. YIKES.. 😮FatTinkerBell asked CaptainGirl why it was that WeedGuy was angry at Robocop. So then CaptainGirl reveals that WeedGuy complained to Robocop that he is micromanaging the employees and overstepping in WeedGuy’s command. When WeedGuy complained to Robocop it was around 8PM at night. In that same convo at 8PM, WeedGuy said something to Robocop and walked away as Robocop and CaptainGirl stayed together in the driveway. So then Robocop yells at WeedGuy from afar saying; “ You have a lot of balls!!”Basically telling WeedGuy that he has balls telling him this to his face. When someone like him could crush WeedGuy. Pummel WeedGuy with his very obvious physical strength. However, Robocop said this to him when WeedGuy was more than 20-Feet away from him.WeedGuy apparently looked back at him, then looked away, ignored him and continued walking away. Then, Robocop was infuriated that he felt the need to blame someone for WeedGuy’s complaint on him. Robocop in that very same driveway at 8PM, turns to CaptainGirl who was next to him and says; “ This is your fault! You’ve been telling him that I micromanage people!! “. CaptainGirl wasn't having it, and she immediately stands up for herself, she defends herself saying: “ I didn’t say sh-T to no-one, and if you believe that, you can go choke on a Dick “ and she too then leaves.Keep in mind that this interaction took place at around 8PM. This is when Robocop decided to walk with the night Supervisor; “Mrs.NightWitch” around the Parkinglots looking for FatTinkerBell. Why was he looking for FatTinkerBell? To flirt with her? To help her with the JumpStart? Who knows! Like we’ve said before, Robocop gives mixed signals or is Bipolar. One day he likes her, the next day he doesn't. One day he follows her across the street to look at her.. Another day he’s writing her up and getting her in trouble. Who knows. Hot Robocop doesn't use his words and language. One day he’s blushing at FatTinkerBell. The next day he’s blowing her off.Moving on. Yes, apparently after telling WeedGuy that he’s got balls from afar. CaptainGirl seconds later tells him to suck a Dick. And 30 minutes later Robocop walks with NighWitch to find FatTinkerBell on the Huge ParkingLots at night, so that he could impress her by doing the Jumpstart for her. Instead of her doing it. FatTinkerBell fell even more in love with him ❤️ after he had helped her with this tiny feat. However, now that CaptainGirl was telling her the current Tea that just took place. She realizes that when Robocop was walking with NightWitch through the ParkingLots. That basically, Robocop was telling NightWitch about what happened moments earlier with WeedGuy. NightWitch is a Supervisor, so Robocop was getting another manager to be against WeedGuy. So then CaptainGirl explains; that after Robocop returned from helping FatTinkerBell.. He went into the office with AngelGuy and NightWitch. CaptainGirl and WeedGuy then enter the office together. This happened at around 9PM- 9:30PM approximately. CaptainGirl was getting ready to leave and ready to clock out, there was already a bad atmosphere after the earlier interaction between them. The " you got a lot of balls" interaction. All the supervisors where inside thee famous office at this point. AngelGuy, NightWitch, the Nightboy who assist the NightWitch, and obviously our 3 main Supervisor Characters, CaptainGirl, WeedGuy and Robocop. Basically all the supervisors at all except for BossBattle who was a morning manager, and chose not to pick up overtime. Basically 6 people in there. People of authority, leadership and certain power. Apparently there was one employee in there who apparently Robocop kicked out. Leaving all the leaders in golden armor in there. So now that all the managers were in there.. Robocop says to CaptainGirl in front of everyone, not to leave yet or clock off, because they need to talk about what happened earlier.This ended up pissing-off CaptainGirl and she ultimately felt confused. Since the issue was between WeedGuy and him. CaptainGirl tells him " Who are you to tell me what to do " and Robocop kept saying that they need to fix the situation that had gone down earlier, and talk about it. This then pissed-off WeedGuy even more, and so now WeedGuy jumps in and says that "This is excatly what he meant earlier" and that Robocop should back off when WeedGuy's on command. Robocop then kept trying to interupt and was telling WeedGuy to " Hold on repeatedly " signaling with his huge veiny hand to calm down. " “ hold on, hold on, hold on,”.WeedGuy then becomes aggravated and he raises his voice and says “NO IM NOT GONNA HOLD ON”. Apparently and allegedly this is where WeedGuy loses it, and he ultimately cusses Robocop out, calling him names. Yelling at the top of his lungs, telling him to back off when its his shift instead of Robocop. WeedGuy, during this outburst tells Robocop that all the employees complain about him. Every last one of them has had something negative to say about him.He says to Robocop that all the employees hate him. No one can stand him. None of them like him. WeedGuy did this in front of ALL OF THEM. Leaving everyone Speecheless. As soon as WeedGuy was done with the speech, with the outburst, WeedGuy storms out and everyone was left silent. Now Robocop completely and utterly embarrassed turns to CaptainGirl and blames her telling her that its her fault that WeedGuy is angry at him. That she has been saying stuff about him to WeedGuy. So now CaptainGirl loses it, she too raises her voice and she.. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE .. she tells him; that he’s making shit up, and that if he believes that.. to again suck a D-K, and to choke on a D-K. And she too leaves after that.,FatTinkerBell was speechless, hearing this hot, juicy, tasty Tea. Gallon of Tea. 😮FatTinkerBell didn't even know how to respond to this story. 😮FatTink just couldn't believe the ordeal that her crush❤️ , the hottest, most desired man around. 5ft'5 5ft'6 short guy, but desirable nonetheless... Brad Pitt there. Danny Zuko there, with his manhood, with his Bravado, with his testosterone. Who has F-KED almost half the Maze of women. Who has F-KED half the young ladies at the HelpCenter. She couldn't believe that he got his ass handed to him by his closest friends at this job."FUCKING HOWWW!!" FatTink wondered. 😮 😮 😮FatTinkerBell didn't know whether to feel happy that this happened, or whether to feel sad for him. But because Robocop is such a lustful, insatiable, std-ridden, entitled, spoiled, F-K BOY, user, cheater, cheated on all his exes, flirts with everyone who is female.Makes all the girls feel special and desired when all he wants to do is pump and dump them all. FatTinkerBell felt happy as absolute F-K that this BRAD PITT Spoiled Brat, got his ass handed to him. Not physically, but physiologically and probably even emotionally as WeedGuy was his number-1 Bro. His nerdy, geeky, Twin-Bro. His undesirable twin-bro, who he told all his secrets to.No wonder Robocop looked all upset or guilty. Or like something had happened to them, or like if they did something. Both Robocop and NightWitch. When FatTinkerBell had went into the office. Everything made sense now. Robocop wouldn't even look up, he was looking downward with his pointer finger covering his lips completely. NightWitch just behaved like normal, looking at FatTink as she walked in.So then FatTinkerBell mentioned to CaptainGirl in this very phone call where all the tea was being spilled... that NightWitch was there sat with him. So now CaptainGirl reveals even more juicy Tea. She goes on to tell FatTinkerBell that apparently, throughout the entire argument the darn NightWitch from Hell.. was basically standing up for Robocop the entire time. That she was defending him or was on his side through the entire ordeal. Basically, it was ( NightWitch + Robocop VS WeedGuy + CaptainGirl ). 2 versus 2. AngelGuy and NightBoy were just on the sidelines watching.FatTinkerBell starts to recall how Robocop and NightWitch were walking together through the parkinglots. Now that CaptainGirl was revealing all this.It all started to fall into place. CLEARLY Robocop went to the NightWitch to tell her what happened earlier at 8PM when WeedGuy told him that he's micromanaging.When Robocop yelled at WeedGuy from 30 Feet Away that he has some balls. XD😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂Now this is where CaptainGirl reveals the most insane part of the Tea. So as FatTinkerBell kept scratching for details, basically CaptainGirl shares a huge detail thatshe missed when telling how the whole disaster began. It all began when FatTinkerBell herself had asked the WeedGuy to come help her find the suspect in the parking lot.The suspect with a stripped shirt who apparently was trying to break into cars. But FatTinkerBell had only asked WeedGuy to come to her aid to show her crush Robocop,that WeedGuy is nice to her and her bestie and its why she's friendly to him instead of Robocop.But as you know from the previous story... WeedGuy didn't actually meet up with FatTink, he kinda blew her off and told her to handle it herself or ask the cops for help.He blew her off through the walkie-talkie and everyone heard him blow her off.So FatTinkerBell's dumb little plan failed but she didn't care, because WeedGuy as a supervisor is obviously busy in Black Friday. And in busy Black Friday, that's a dumb thing to request assistance for. So yes FatTink could care less.BUT APPARENTLY, IN REALITY. WeedGuy was being lazy hanging out with (again) obviously CaptainGirl and Robocop. Robocop apparently had a huge drink on one hand. Basically these three supervisors were being lazy, taking a break hanging out together stood there on the driveway. This is where WeedGuy blows FatTink off, telling her to take care of it herself.And this is where CaptainGirl exposes in this phone call; that apparently:Robocop immediately asks WeedGuy why he's not gonna go help FatTink.Mr.Robocop says to Mr.Weedguy “Are you not gonna go and help Ms.FatTinkerbell?”Or that WeedGuy SHOULD go and help FatTink out. And basically this is what broke the camel's back. And WeedGuy lost it. Mr.Weedguy lost it and he said to Mr.Robocop; “Stop telling me what to do” ,“You’re not the leader of this team”,”I am the leader of this team”, "You keep trying to micromanage, and it needs to stop”. Basically CpatainGirl says that.. WeedGuy felt as if though Robocop is bossying him around, telling him what to do.SO IN SOME WAY OR FORM, FATTINKERBELL DID IN FACT CAUSE THE COMPLETE BLACK FRIDAY ORDEAL.FatTinkerBell couldn't believe everything that has happened. CaptainGirl exposed detail after detail and FatTink would calmly respond with "wow" "that's crazy" "omg". Deep down however, FatTink was just puzzled. Beyond Shocked. Completely and utterly puzzled.And FatTinkerBell tells CaptainGirl; "Damn its all my fault, I caused everyone to end their friendship " however CaptainGirl reassured her that WeedGuy was done putting up with him ALL DAY. It wasnt just FatTink asking for help. It was a multitude of actions and behaviors from Robocop that were pushing WeedGuy to his limit. FatTink asking to meet up with WeedGuy at 8PM, and Robocop telling him to do it, was just the straw that broke the camel's back. The action or behavior that crossed the line. So CaptainGirl told FatTink not to blame herself. That this whole ordeal was due to happen sooner or later. One way or another. It was gonna happen sooner or later, anyway.After almost an hour of phone call, CpatainGirl was ready to hang up since she's a popular Boss-Girl Captain of the Soldiers and other people where phone calling her.FatTinkerBell has recieved more information than she needed. CaptainGirl was absolutely infuriated with Robocop, she could hear it on her loud tone of voice, throughoutthe entire phone call. CaptainGirl kept telling FatTink that she was right about him all along, and how he's literally a piece of shit a-hole. CaptainGirl was mainly aggravated at the fact that RoboJerk kept pointing the finger at her blaming her out of nowhere, out of the blue, for no reason, without proof.Later CaptainGirl hung up and the entire Tea was over. FatTinkerBell felt shocked, but at the same time completely entertained and amazed. Wondering what would happen next with Hot Brad Pitt in there.Later FatTinkerBell was asked to drive for 30 minutes again for someone to take their break. FatTinkerBell now had all this Tea/ Information that ONLY SHE as an average employee had. No other average soldier knew of what had just happened. Only FatTink knew because CaptainGirl is her bestie. By this time most of the shoppers where gone. There was still people around but it was no longer full or crowded at all. All stores and shops were closed now. The parking lots were clearing out quickly. As FatTinkerBell was driving out to patrol she sees Robocop right in front of her trying to cross the street right in front of her vehicle. FatTinkerBell almost ran him over and didn't see him. When he finished crossing in front of her, he meets up with AngelGuy who was right there and begun walking with him. Obviously they must've met up there to talk on everything that has gone down.AngelGuy however; is a sweet 30 year old that doesn't really do drama. So no matter what Robocop tells him to do, AngelGuy won't do anything. He's AGREEABLE, but AngelGuyis too peaceful and uninterested to care enough or get involved. In reality all those Supervisors are above Robocop in rank. With the exception of NightBoy, who's underneath him. So it made sense that Robocop pisses them off with him being all smug, and entitled. Telling people what to do. Trying to act like he's the SHT or above any of them, when its the other way around. He sure has bravado, a thunderous voice of authority. But realistically, ALL OF THEM ARE ABOVE HIM. And NONE OF THEM are as strict as he is. BossBattle, that old creepy man. He's strict, but even he is ABOVE ROBOCOP. This is why all of them were starting to get irritated with him.But back to the story. Later WeedGuy calls through the Walkie-Talkie asking Robocop to take care of something. To assist someone. And immediately Robocop says that hes using the restroom. Basically, now Robocop was defying WeedGuy, and being petty to him.It was honestly funny, knowing what had gone down earlier. And none of the other employees knew. ONLY FATTINK as an employee knew. AND IT WAS, HILARIOUS.Later Robocop left, FatTink didn't see him leave but it was clear that he left a little while later. FatTinkerBell finally saw WeedGuy nearing the end of the night inside the Maze, as she was doing her last patrol. FatTinkerBell was trying so hard to make him expose the info on the ordeal, that she already knew. But WeedGuy was acting all casual and didn't want to tell FatTink anything at all. But later; WeedGuy low-key mentions that they're gonna try to get shitty supervisors fired.😮 " OH, EM, GEEE " 😮Basically low-key mentioning that he wants to get Robocop fired. And since he's besties with the Prince first and foremost. It honestly could be a possibility. King was gone, so Robocop no longer had King as backup. The entire Maze was in need of a King, but there just was no one to cover that position yet. Ever since September and they were now in November. All the soldiers still had no King. They literally only had laidback "Prince" this entire time.Later on as FatTinkerBell's shift was nearing the very end. Coincidentally she sees SnowWhite coming out of the FoodHall where the HelpCenter is located. She was walking towards FatTinkerBell uninvited, unannounced. With her perfect straight, shiny, short, black hair, and her pretty pink lips. In that very moment a customer crosses FatTinkerBell and begins asking her mundane questions of where a shop can be found like always. And as FatTinkerBell begins to answer,.. SnoWhite now next to FatTink, she interrupts FatTinkerBell and she starts to direct the annoying customer to where he needed to go. To get he customer outta their face. SnoWhite appeared too excited and joyful to see FatTinkerBell in this moment. It was clear she knew something about Robocop or about what just happened to him. But it was weird because how could she possibly know so fast if the ordeal took place about an hour ago.,Moving on, so then SnoWhite with a cheeky smile on her face like she just got proposed to. FatTink excitedly begins trying to tell SnoWhite the entire drama that just went down. And immediately she says "Oh you mean that WeedGuy cussed out Robocop??" ...😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮"How tf does this young teen-mom skank, std-ridden teen-mom; know that shit already??? " FatTinkerBell asked herself.FatTinkerBell was left speechless for a good second, but she then replied to Snow saying that, maybe WeedGuy told her, or CaptainGirl did. Obviously because she got along with CaptainGirl as well ( ORRR! Maybe.... because she was now flirting with Robocop and entertaining him. Robocop told her himself. )So then both SnoWhite and FatTinkerBell just started talking about all the details and gossiping and giggling like a pair of HighSchool girls. To be honest, SnoWhite didn't seem so bad and evil and narcissistic, like many women are. Like I said previously. FatTink saw a lot of herself in her. FatTinkerBell just wasn't a young teen-mom. They both clearly, obviously had a huge, gigantic ❤️crush❤️ on Robocop at once. They were in the exact same place. SnoWhite was obviously prettier and more classy than FatTinkerBell. FatTink, as mentioned many times before, dressed very sloppy even on her Soldier Costume. It's the very reason Robocop alongside WeedGuy teased her and bullied her at the start of 2019.FatTinkerBell deep down; understood how SnoWhite felt for Robocop. And even though the competition broke her heart, she accepted that Robocop would sooner or laterdate SnoWhite. Very obviously and very clearly. Many other people were already mentioning that they see both of them flirting all the time. Even though very few knew the story of Robocop + GreenEyedSnake. Sadly not even SnoWhite knew the that story. And she honestly deserved to know. To FatTinkerBell it appeared as though Robocop was simply replacing GreenEyedSnake. Which is screwed up.Moving on however. Now FatTinkerBell's shift ended, Black Friday of 2019 has ended. The night was over at 12-midnight on that beautiful Maze. On Friday, November 29, 2019. Everyone has left. FatTinkerBell couldn't help but wonder why Robocop appears to be interested in her. Yes, interested in Fat, Obese, Overweight, Unhealthy, Unfit, Undesirable FatTinkerBell !! Why would he put himself through all that trouble to flirt or look at FatTinkerBell?? Why??! It makes no sense. This Brad Pitt Hottie. Fit, Healthy, hottie has girls like SnoWhite and GreenEyedSnake chasing after him... and on a Black Friday of all days, he's gonna go and follow FatTinkerBell of all people around the Maze?? WHY??" How does this make any sense at all??" FatTinkerBell questioned.." If you like someone, don't you just go and tell them that you fancy them? Especially if that person is beneath you?? "" Wouldn't it be wayy easier to talk to them, and even ask them out if they're not very appealing and they're low-value in terms of looks and health? "" For Robocop as someone who's very experienced. EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED. If he fancied FatTinkerBell shouldn't he be the very first person to ask her outor ANYTHING AT ALL, due to his experience and his desirability?? "" FatTinkerBell thought.,Imagine you being a Brad Pitt hottie.The Brad Pitt hottie of an entire Outdoor Maze of shops... but you go and flirt with the biggest most undesirable Chick? And not even a Classy HelpCenter chick.. a fat soldier chick who doesn't even know how to do her own hair?? WHAT??Little did SnoWhite know that thee entire Black Friday ordeal against Robocop took place because of 👉 FatTinkerBell 👈. LITTLE.. DID.. SHE.. KNOW. The same FatTinkerBell who was stood in front of her as they gossiped, on that very night. LITTLE DID SHE KNOW. The only ones that know that it all started with FatTink asking for help, are obviously the top main characters themselves. Robocop, WeedGuy, CaptainGirl, and of course FatTinkerBell. SMH.....But this is another thing that is screwed up. Because now it appears as if though, Robocop is actually trying to screw both of his female Soldiers. Lets not forget that SnoWhite started out as a Soldier with FatTinkerBell because the Prince brought her over here when they fired DietCoke. And fired DietCoke, why? again because of FatTinkerBell herself doing something stupid. However, yes It seems as though Robocop is definitely trying to screw both his young female employees as some sort of Ego Boost. If this guy is flirting with SnoWhite and FatTink at once, what does this tell you?? That he's trying to sleep with both of them at once!!He wants both his female employees in his bed at once!!Anyway, The Black Friday Ordeal had ended. The night was over. FatTinkerBell didn't know exactly how to feel about all this. She was upset that Robocop didn't just go up to her and ask her out or something. And instead, was throwing mixed signals, and getting himself into trouble, looking like he's micromanaging everyone. It seemed more like a joke that got outta line. Robocop getting into the most trouble he's been in, ever. Appeared as though it all started from a bad joke that accidentally crossed the line. Like if it wasn't meant to happen. Like it all happened from an accident. CaptainGirl and WeedGuy were his main friends in this job. And just like that, in one night, their entire friendship ended. Completely and entirely ended. Finished. It seemed unreal. FatTinkerBell believed it was obviously some misunderstanding that took place between all of them.Because as much as CaptainGirl told the story detail by detail. There's nothing like seeing the ordeal take place live and in person. How do 3 supervisors, 3 managers who have power and authority, get into an altercation one night, and completely break their friendship???And WeedGuy has been his friend for years. Robocop has been friends with his twin-bro WeedGuy since before FatTinkerBell existed there!!TEE-HEE XD 😂TEE-HEE XD 😂TEE-HEE XD 😂FATTINK HONESTLY FELT UPSET THAT SHE MISSED THE ENTIRE THING, AND DIDN'T GET TO WATCH IT WITH HER OWN TWO EYES, LIVE AND IN PERSON.However!! If Robocop's intentions definitely are to sleep with both FatTink and Snow at once. Or, on and off, and rotate both of them who happen to be his female Soldiers, his young female employees... then maybe, in all honesty, he deserves everything that happened to him that night. Maybe FatTink accidentally caused SnoWhite to get hired here and caused her to meet her now crush Robocop. But she also now caused Robocop to get an asswhoopin' like he deserved. Moving on, and moving forward. It was a mystery as to how these characters are gonna engage with each other and interact with each other in the future. The next event coming up in 2019 was Christmas and NewYears. This is gonna be the very first Christmas and NewYears, FatTinkerBell will experience at this job. Alongside all of them. Alongside Robocop, WeedGuy, CaptainGirl, SnoWhite and everyone else in there who is irrelevant and doesn't matter.What will happen next?? Guess we'll have to wait and see.To read Previous Story ---> BLACK FRIDAY ORDEAL 1 To find the FatTinkerBell Series ---> FATTINKERBELL 2019-2020 , #awareness #barbie #bully #bullying #crush #deardiary #diary #fatgirl #harassment #harrypotter #job #mystory #nonfiction #obesity #reallife #robocop #security #stalker #storytime #tinkerbell #truestory #uglygirl #writeup #mallcop #obesegirl #fatshaming #bullyingvictim #stalkerstory #prettyprivilege #securityjob #bully #obesity #reallife #robocop #security #stalker #storytime #tinkerbell #truestory #uglygirl #writeup #mallcop #stalkerstory #prettyprivilege #securityjob #awareness #bullying #fatgirl #harrypotter #fatshaming #barbie #crush #deardiary #diary #harassment #job #mystory #nonfiction #obesegirl #bullyingvictim #hotboss #workplacebullying #hotmanager #copmall...
Fan Fiction
Cat Bikini Meggy and Jellyfish rejoice a victory by cvgwjames
SFR: Island of The Vampire Squid chapter thirteenChapter Thirteen: The Ink Tide Cruise Sets Sail So much time had passed since he last had a tropical vacation, not to mention it had been a while since he went for a boat rode, let alone a cruise. The prospect of going to Ink Tide Island had Makerboy hooked, and, on the night he started making preparations for the trip, the green-haired Inkling was bursting with glee as he was looking forward to all of it. And one of the best parts, he and Saiko would be spending more time together, and he was going to see some of his other friends, including girls he'd dated in the past. Makerboy made absolutely sure that he had his own tickets, and did his best to ensure that Saiko had a ticket as well. Luckily, she was already covered. Before he went to bed, he double checked his suitcase to see if he had everything the tan-skinned squid needed, from spare clothes to bathing suits and his Splattershot, the latter of which was just in case. 'Do I really need to bring weapons?' Makerboy thought as he turned out the light, 'It's just a tropical getaway. Then again, it's always important to take precautions, especially when you may never know when trouble will arise. I'll pack an extra weapon tomorrow.' Early the next morning, Makerboy took a warm shower, helped himself to a bowl of tasty Calamari Chips, tweeted some friends on Twitter about what he was doing for the next few days, and packed another one of his Splat-weapons before getting his luggage together. Afterwards, he checked to see when the boat would be leaving port Luckily for Makerboy, he had an hour-and-a-half before the estimated departure time. The green-haired squid combed his hair in the bathroom, packed some sunscreen, and fetched his belongings before heading out the door. His heart skipped a beat when he found Saiko waiting by the road leading to the dock, holding a suitcase and winking at him. His heart throbbed with love, and the upbeat Makerboy embraced his pink-haired girlfriend. Arms folded, and the Inkling-human couple melted into the deepest of kisses before they pulled away. "How did you sleep last night, Saiko?" Makerboy asked with a smile. "I thought about you so much, and I dreamed about you." Saiko said, hugging her boyfriend happily, "Thinking about you helped me sleep soundly, because you're the nicest man I've known in my life." "Glad to help you sleep even though I wasn't there." Makerboy kissed the anime girl's hand, "And I can't wait to be out at sea and on the island, this trip gives us the opportunity to be together even more, and we'll have all the time in the world to ourselves with every chance we get... even though we'll also be with our friends." "We'll have plenty of time to ourselves during the trip." Saiko pecked him on the cheek, "I am sure of that. Now c'mon, the ship's gonna leave in an hour." Makerboy nodded in agreement with his slender anime girlfriend, then he and Saiko retrieved their suitcases and bags they'd set aside during their embrace, and resumed their journey down to the docks, breathing the warm air into their lungs, and occasionally waving to a couple friendly faces as they passed by. Port Kelp was quite busy, with workers loading crates onto shipping vessels, and people were disembarking newly-arrived passenger ships after long voyages. Makerboy and Saiko found their transport, the GCS Ink-Tide Opal, on the east side of the dock, and bumped into Fishy Boopkins, who was carrying quite the small briefcase. "Hey, Boopkins! When did you get up?" Makerboy quipped in a teasing voice. "Pretty early, in time to pack, rewatch a Dragon Ball episode, and make my way down here. Looks like I just arrived before you two did." "Any chance you'll let me join the waifu party on the island, Boopkins?" Saiko asked sweetly, "There's no way this anime girl is going to miss out on the anime-related fun, given how very anime I can be." "Don't worry, Saiko. I've made sure you're on the party waifu list." Boopkins winked, he flashed a smile at Makerboy, "And I'd like you to take some pictures of me with the guests, if you find the time to attend the party, Makerboy." "You can count on me, Boopkins." Makerboy saluted with a grin, "Now what are we waiting for, the ship's gonna set sail soon..." "And we're just in time." The trio turned, with the green-haired Inkling setting his sights upon his good friend Alexsey, whom he hadn't seen since the day they got the Kaira Star Crystal, which had helped Makerboy reverse Saiko's transformation curse. The green-haired Russian Inkling was accompanied by his wife Nona Skyang Moskovin, whose tentacles were nice and combed. "Alexsey!" Makerboy grinned, and he stepped forward, "You son of a bitch!" He clasped hands with his comrade, who smiled back, and the two green-haired Inklings did the Dutch-Dillon high-five, hand-grasp, handshake. Makerboy gripped Alexsey's hand tighter than him, then Nona stepped in and said, "It hasn't been THAT long since you two last saw each other." "Sorry, Mrs. Skyang-Moskovin." Makerboy chuckled, letting go of Alexsey's hand, "I was just happy to see your husband, and not to mention that scene in the movie is an unforgettable cinematic moment." "We both look forward to hanging out." Alexsey said with a smile. "Yo, HoW's It GoInG, MaKeRbOy10, SaIkO, BoOpKiNs, AlExSeY and NoNa?" Bob Bobowski walked into view, followed by Rouge the Bat, who was sporting a fancy pink dress and holding the robed hobo's arm while leaning her head against his bandana-clad neck. Bob really had charmed the bat over, and they must've had quite the special night and probably another one after that. "Hey, Bob! You going too?" Makerboy asked with a smile. "WhY wOuLdN't I, BrO?" Bob's face lit up, "RoUgE fOuNd SoMe TiCkeTs AnD yOu TeXtEd Me, sO wHo WoUlD pOsSiBlY mIsS oUt On A bAdAsS cRuIsE tO a SeXy IsLaNd ReTrEaT?" "I was thinking of a vacation with a treasure hunt." Rouge said as she stroked Bob's neck, "And Bob agreed to the idea of us sneaking around, stealing whatever secret loot is stored away on the island, and we get to have all the fun..." She walked up and stroked Makerboy's chin, "And perhaps we can have some fun on the cruise and at the island." "Who knows what's in store, Rouge? But we're all gonna have fun..." Makerboy remarked. "...and we should board now." Saiko took her boyfriend's hand, "As for you and Bob, Rouge, I suggest that you two get a room." "ScReW yOu." Bob retorted as Rouge kissed the former Garo on the cheek. Makerboy and Saiko carried their luggage as they walked up the ramp, and stepped onto the ship, joining Boopkins, Alexsey, Nona, Bob, Rouge, and other people who were on the cruise as well. A Toad in a suit led the green-haired Inkling and his girlfriend to their bedroom, where they would be resting for most of the voyage. "It looks so nice." Makerboy remarked as he looked at a palm tree. "And this bed is very comfortable." Saiko quipped. She sat down on the bed, and pat the sheets, attracting Makerboy's attention. The anime girl crossed her legs in a sultry manner, and flexed her finger seductively. Makerboy walked towards his flame, and Saiko threw her arms around him, pulled the Inkling onto the bed, and kissed him hard. They made out for a minute, then the couple heard the horn blow. The ship was preparing to depart for the island, everyone just needed to get comfortable, and there were likely a few more passengers boarding. Makerboy and Saiko headed to the side deck of the ship, and took in the view of the harbor, watching as ships made port and departed, people came and went, and workers carried out their tasks of managing the dock area. The ship's horn blew again, followed suit by the horn of a cargo ship as it sailed into port from a distant land. Soon, a loudspeaker whined to life and a voice declared, "THE GCS Ink-Tide Opal is setting sail for Ink Tide Island, welcome aboard the Ink-Tide Island cruise. We will now be leaving port!" A couple Inklings on the dock waved as the ship set sail, and the horn blew again. The passengers waved, sending well-wishes to those who'd come to see them depart. Makerboy waved to a couple of people standing on the edge of the dock, and Saiko put her arm around his neck in a gentle manner. The ship sailed out to sea, leaving civilization behind, and one could watch as the mainland and the docks became smaller and smaller until it all faded from sight. Now, it was just the rolling blue sea with the waves passing by. Seagulls flew over the boat, and whales swam by, with a few dolphins leaping out of the water. Makerboy pumped his fist with a grin, and Saiko kissed him on the cheek excitedly. The green-haired Inkling breathed in the fresh ocean air, and moved to the front deck to watch the rolling horizon, ready for that tropical scenery. The green-haired squid whooped and cried, "Bring on Ink Tide Island, baby!"
Beans prevail, Wren's saddest day ever -SMG4- by cvgwjames
MorningAll servants were up before daybreak the following morning after the wedding. Even if she wasn't a firebender who rose with the sun, it was the responsibility of all palace staff to be up before the royal family to do their assignments. However, Aguya didn't even want to leave bed to do her job today. She tried hard to ignore her roommate and best friend Lian's attempts to wake her up, but her friend was stubborn as a lion turtle and kept at it. “Come on, Aguya! You need to get out of bed! If you don't, they'll use up all the hot water in the bath! Plus, you don't need Mistress Sumiko to scream at you! So get up already!”  her best friend implored.Aguya gradually rose and looked at her best friend. In terms of appearance, they're exact opposites. Lian was short, chubby, and had a plain face. Her dark hair came to her chin, and her eyes were a dull brown. “Okay, Lian, I'm getting up already!” Aguya replied as the pair hurried to get their bath before switching into their dark red and gold yukatas, the standard attire of all servants. Aguya quickly put her hair in a low ponytail and ensured she had no makeup left over from the previous evening. Then, she and Lian promptly made their way to the servant's dining hall for a quick breakfast before Mistress Sumiko allocated them their assignments for the day. They were the last to arrive for breakfast, and Mistress Sumiko gave them both a death glare. She valued perfection above all else. Mistress Sumiko was a tall, intimidating older woman. Her features were sharp and hardened from years of supervising all the underlings downstairs. Her golden eyes were noticed in every detail, and her permanent scowl always terrified everyone into submission. Her silver hair was in a perfect topknot, and her long nails were sharp as daggers.There was no merrymaking among the servants, who ate their daily rice bowl before quickly setting off to do their obligations. However, her scowl only increased when Aguya said she couldn't clean the Fire Lord's chamber this week.“What may I ask is your pitiful excuse not to do your assignment?” the intimating woman demanded angrily.Aguya quickly replied, “I'm afraid I've begun my monthly blood this morning. You've said no woman should enter a man's chamber during their monthly blood, especially the Fire Lord's chambers.We can't risk any of us ladies bleeding through our clothes or dripping blood in his Lordship's chamber,” she partly lied. She was due to start her cycle, but not till tomorrow. Regardless, the fierce woman before her dismissed her from her regular duties for the next ten days, as was customary for female servants. Instead, as was customary, she got laundry and mending tasks while Lian was assigned to clean the Fire Lord's chambers. As she hastened to the laundry chamber, she ran into her mother, Suzuki, coming out of the seamstress chamber. “Aguya! I didn't expect to see you here! Shouldn't you be cleaning Fire Lord Sozin's chamber?” her mother questioned. Aguya and her mother looked nothing alike. Truthfully, Aguya didn't look much like either of her parents. Her mother told Aguya that growing up, she was the spitting image of her maternal grandmother. Yet that wasn't here or there. The young woman immediately answered her mother's question: “I'm afraid I started my cycle a day early, Mother. Therefore, I must stay down here and out of sight till it's finished. Are you taking those to the laundry room?” she said, pointing to the large basket her mother was carrying. “If you are, I'll gladly take them for you since I'm on laundry duty for the next ten days,” she replied quickly. A slight tinge of red came to her cheeks. Fortunately, her mother didn't notice. “Yes, I was taking them to the laundry room. If you wish to do it for me, I'm alright with that,” she said as she handed over the basket. Her daughter bowed once before hastening off to the laundry room. Throughout the day, Aguya refused to look at or talk to anyone. She did everything she could to keep herself occupied so she didn't have to converse with anyone else. Ultimately, evening came along, and she could dine in her room silently.Mistress Sumiko's rules stated that no woman during her cycle should be around men if they could avoid it. This was the only reason she ate her bland meal in her bedroom. However, she wasn't left alone long as Lian came storming into the room before slamming their door shut. “Okay, Aguya, out with it! We've been best friends our entire lives! I know you're hiding something! So out with it!” the brown-eyed girl demanded. “I'm hiding nothing!” she responded, but Lian wasn't buying it. “Aguya, quit lying! I know something transpired! I've always known when you're lying or not telling the complete truth. I know you better then your parents! So please tell me!” “Lian, I...”Her chubby friend placed her hands on her hips, “Look, I know you don't have good experiences with most men, given your history with the male population down here. But I'm having a hunch that whatever is bothering you is about a guy. So why don't you spill it already? You know I've kept every secret you've ever told me as you've kept mine. So why can't you trust me this time?” Lian asked as she sat down on the end of the bed. Aguya wished she could divulge what was bothering her. She had always trusted her best friend. However, this secret was so much bigger. She also didn't desire her friend to crack under the pressure this secret would put on her. “Lian, all I can say is yes, it has to do with a man. Yet, I can't tell you more then that. Believe me when I tell you if I told you my secret, both our families could face exile or worse. I'm imploring you not to pester me anymore on this. Please just let it drop, okay?” she begged her best friend. Lian saw the terror in her best friend's golden eyes and knew she was telling her the truth. “Okay, I won't bring it up again. However, I'm here to listen if you want to tell me what's happening.”“Thanks. Here, could you return my dish to the kitchen? I want to turn in early. You know how bad my cramps are on my cycle.”“I sure do. Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes.” True to her word, Lian was back in five minutes. She didn't press Aguya for more details of what was bothering her, but she secretly wished her friend would eventually tell her what was bothering her. They blew out the candle and went to sleep.

Where Fairies Dwell Part 6As the trial continues Ren and Noir are seen running from a dark figure fear in both of their eyes as the ground explodes around them. Desperate to get away Ren ran as fast as he could until he ran right into a tree. Dizzy and disoriented Ren tries to get back to his feet but when he turns around, he sees the dark figure standing there with Noir in its clutches. A scream of agony rang out from Noir as the figure started to crush him until suddenly his screaming just stopped. Frozen by fear all Ren could do was watch in horror as this figure through Noir away then raised his hand towards Ren. Immediately Ren woke up breathing heavily with beads of sweat running down his face and his heart beating out of control. He moved his long hair out of the way and looked around he found himself in a bedroom in the castle waiting for the trial to start in a few days. He then looked to find Noir sleeping on a pillow next to him, he let out a sigh of relief calming down. As he saw that everything was alright Ren laid down and tried to go back to sleep he shut his eyes but no matter how hard he tried he just couldn’t sleep. Being quiet he grabbed a jacket and a pair of shoes and left the room hoping that a walk might help to calm his nerves and clear his head. Ren walked through the hallways of the seemingly deserted castle aside from a few guards here and there. Ren eventually ended up at a balcony and looked out at the night sky. With little clouds the night sky was in full view with hundreds of stars dancing all centered around the moon. As Ren stared off into the vast unknown, he can’t help but let his mind wander thinking about everything that happened in this past year. Finding a new fairy that can use multiple types of magic, having to fight just so he can have a future, all the training over the past year, and now in just a few days he’s going to have to fight again to become a knight. As Ren continued to think about this, the foot steps of a person in heels can be heard walking up behind him. “Well didn’t expect you to be awake at this hour.”, Claire said as she approached the railing of the balcony. “Oh, I couldn’t sleep, it’s kind of hard to with the knights trial is coming up in two days. What about you why are you still awake?”, Ren in a rather tired tone. Claire put her arms on the railing and replied, “I don’t sleep at least not anymore, with the help of certain people my body no longer requires sleep. It’s handy, though all notes on it were destroyed so we can’t replicate it, meaning I'm all alone half the time.” Ren was surprised by this he had no idea magic could work on this level. Ren then asked, “So if you don’t sleep then what do you do when everyone else is asleep?” Claire stretched her back for a second then answered, “I pretty much just run experiments it can get kinda boring when no one else is awake.”, she paused for a moment then stared up into the night, “One thing I like to do when bored is coming out here to look at the stars, tonight’s especially pretty.” Claire’s expression became a tad more serious, “You’re scared aren’t you about what’s going to happen at the trial.” Ren wasn’t surprised by this Claire seemed to have a knack for telling what’s going on in people’s heads. Ren responded, “How could I not be, for an entire year now I spent every moment getting ready for this one day and now that it’s almost here I don’t know what to do.” Claire looked at Ren with a sympathetic look and spoke, “I understand it’s only natural to worry about this I still remember what a mess I was when I took the exam. Just don’t vomit an hour before the exam like I did.” Claire chuckled a little trying to help Ren calm down unfortunately it didn’t seem to work. Ren’s face went grimmer for a second and spoke, “If I fail, I’m going to lose Noir aren’t I?” Claire responded her expression more serious as, “I was hoping you wouldn’t find out but yes. Even if the king says so there are nobles in this kingdom who have the power to rival his word. He and I tried everything but unless you pass this exam the nobles will take Noir.” Ren gritted his teeth and slammed his hand on the railing, “Dammit it’s always one thing after another I thought after the minotaur, I was free but even now I’m still being tested just because of Noir.” Claire responded, “Ren what are you…”. She was immediately cut off as Ren continued, “I’ve had to go through so much sometimes I wished he wasn’t…”. Ren was immediately cut off by a slap to the face by Claire, “Listen here you don’t even think about finishing that sentence.”, Claire said in an angry tone and continued, “I understand that this isn’t fair, but you never take your anger out on your partner. There are already way too many people in this world who do that I don’t want you to be one either.” Ren felt the stinging pain on his cheek as Claire continued, “Our world isn’t a fair one for many people it’s one of hardships and pain, you go through your entire life hoping that once you get your fairy that life will be easy but for most life is still hard. When the one thing you hoped for turned out to be a farce this disappointment for many turns into anger directed at the one who’s supposed to be your partner forever.” Ren looked down dismay and spoke, “You’re right I don’t regret Noir as my partner.” Claire put her hand on Ren’s head and started stroking his hair, “It’s fine. Let’s get inside it’s getting cold out and you can’t afford to get sick now.” Claire starts walking inside with Ren following. As Ren was about to go towards his room Claire said, “Hey before you go let me cut your hair. You have a big day coming up and it might get in the way.” Ren responded a little taken a back, “Uh sure I guess you can.” Claire took Ren into an empty room and told him to wait there while she grabbed a set of scissors from her room. Minutes passed as Ren was left alone with only his thoughts but eventually Claire returned with an entire box of supplies. Ren sat down in a nearby chair as Claire pulled out a pair of scissors and started clipping Ren’s long hair. “I’m not an experienced barber but over the years I’ve gotten the hang of basic maintenance and care.”, Claire responded as hair fell strand after strand to the floor. “It’s weird have someone else cut my hair back home one of my neighbors would usually cut it for me.”, Ren said. “You didn’t have your mother cut it for you?”, Claire asked. Ren paused for a moment the spoke, “I don’t have a mother, she died when shortly after I was born. I don’t know anything about her not even what her name was, whenever I asked my dad, he’d always say, ‘We’ll talk later’.” Claire continued, “And I’m guessing later, never came did it?” Ren simply responded with a simple nod no, “I’m sorry it must be hard not knowing who the woman who gave birth to you was. My mother has been dead for a long time now, but I still had so many precious memories with her birthdays, picnics, rolling around like animals just because, so many memories that at the time seemed so trivial are so important to me, to think you couldn’t experience any of that.” Ren spoke in a quieted voice, “It’s alright even without my mom I had my dad that was there for me.” The next few moments were silent as Claire continued working on Ren’s hair she then reached into her box and grabbed several items and applied them to Ren’s hair. “Ok finished.”, Claire spoke in a chipper tone. “Here, take a look.”, she said handing Ren a mirror. Ren looked into the mirror in disbelief as he sees that Claire tied his hair into little buns and gave him patches of sky-blue hair dye. In fury Ren turned with fire in his eyes to Claire and spoke in mad voice, “Not funny!” Claire tried to hold in her laughter as a smile formed on her face calming down, “What I think you look adorable you look like a pretty princess.”, she said jokingly. A few minutes later after forcing Ren back into his sit Claire was able to seriously fix his hair. As Ren looked into the mirror this time, he saw that is hair was shortened to the average length of a mail and the sky-blue patches in his hair were replaced with dark blue patches. “Still decided to stick with the hair dye.”, Ren said looking in the mirror still. Claire replied, “Well yeah you have a black fairy, and your hair is completely black one, that’s too much black if you ask me one of you really needs to add color to your look.”Ren’s night concluded as he said goodnight to Claire and walked towards his room. He got back into bed and fell fast asleep. As night grew a dark figure is seen standing in the windowsill this person quickly yet quietly makes their way towards Ren, as they reach him, they pull out a knife. As this intruder is about to plunge the knife into Ren, they suddenly freeze in place unable to move. No matter what the intruder tried to do they couldn’t move an inch, suddenly the door to the hallway opened up as Claire walked in with Celti behind her glowing green as she approached the intruder she spoke softly in their ear, “You have five seconds leave or you die. Five…”, before Claire could get to four the would-be killer bolted out of the room as fast as lightning. Claire turned her head to Ren and Noir who was undisturbed by the entire event she placed her hand on both of them and whispered softly, “For the next day sleep, just sleep. You two are gonna need all your energy.”, as she said that green energy sprouted from her hands and onto both of Ren and Noir. After that Claire and Celti quietly left the room.
Where Fairies Dwell Part 5Claire was walking through the hallway of the royal castle holding a clipboard with several papers on them as a man with tough exterior and casual clothes walks up behind her. “Hey there gorgeous what are you looking at?”, the man said to her with a side grin. “Oh, Lowell what are you doing here I thought you were on a mission?”, Claire responded as if she was used to these advances from him. Lowell responded, “I got back last night turns out that lead on that dungeon was a dead end.”, he responded. Claire continued, “That’s a shame but here’s something that might cheer you up the list of this year’s knight candidates has arrived.” “Man, it’s that time already, any promising candidates this year? Judging by the fact that you’re not gushing over the list I’d say that’s a no.”, the Lowell asked jokingly. “We have the typical candidates this year people who have been trained by their parents or knights for two years now. However, there are a few people who have definitely caught my attention.”, as she says that she hands a sheet of paper to Lowell. Lowell reads over the list as a smile grows over his face, “Is it really ok to let so many apply even though they’ve only had one year with their fairies?” Lowell asked. Claire responded, “That was a concern of ours as well, so we had scouts go investigate them and the ones you see on that list have been approved.” Lowell continued, “Looks like I was wrong this year’s candidates are very promising, and what about that kid the one with the black fairy how’s his training going.” Claire thought about it for a minute and said, “As of right now I’m unsure he made good progress I spent the first three months teaching him about the different types of magic but after that I left him to grow on his own.” Lowell looked puzzled, “Why didn’t you have him train with our knights surely that would’ve been better than letting him try to train on his own?”, he asked Claire. “Our knights are only able to use one type of magic meaning they have no experience using other types, I believe if Ren is to truly learn how to use multiple types of magic in combat, he needs to figure it out on his own without outside interference. Besides who said anything about him being on his own.”, she said with a smile.Elsewhere in a dark forest, a wolf-like monster with glowing blue fangs, black fur, and no eyes is seen fighting a giant purple spider with saliva that melts the ground it stands on. The wolf lunges at the spider trying to bite it but the spider jumped out of the way and the wolf’s fangs bite into a tree and almost in an instant the was frozen solid. As the wolf tries to free it’s fangs the spider jumps on top of it pinning it to the ground, the spider then wrapped the wolf in webs then shot poison into the cocoon melting the wolf into a gooey mess. The spider was about to eat the wolf when it suddenly heard a branch snap, the spider looked over to see a shadowed figure in a hood, the spider let out a screech and jumped straight towards the figure at incredible speed, as it landed at its mark dust scattered everywhere. As the dust cleared the spider looked and saw that all it grabbed was the person’s hood. It then felt a tap on its back side and as it turned around it saw person’s face. It was Ren with his black hair long and unkept, his clothes dirty with several cuts on it, and his face covered with dirt, smiling at the spider. He then said, “I win”, as Ren’s hands glowed red the spider suddenly went up in flames the spider cried out until it suddenly stopped and fell dead, Ren then put the fire out. Noir then came out of his pocket, “Spider again, dang it Ren why couldn’t we have gone in sooner and get the wolf.”, he complained. “Come on spider doesn’t taste that bad, and if you really want wolf that bad you still can.”, Ren says pointing over to the cocoon. Noir looks at the cocoon then back to the spider then starts flying over to the wolf. All of a sudden, a roar came out of nowhere as sounds of stomping grew louder and louder towards Ren and Noir, they stared in the direction of the noise when a giant boar came out and ran towards them immediately Noir fed Ren magic as Ren drew a circle with symbols in the dirt then focused magic into it forming a forcefield bouncing the boar off. As the forcefield disappeared he looked over at Noir and said, “Would you care for boar today.” Noir then smiled and glowed more black giving Ren more magic. Ren then put his hands to the ground as the boar turned towards them, but as the boar tried to start charging it found that it couldn’t, looking down it saw roots that roots have grown holding the boar in place. The boar furious then shot its tusks straight at Ren, without a second thought Ren focused magic into his hands catching both tusks. The tusks then glowed orange as they slowly turned into a pair of knives then threw both knives at the boar with blinding speed stabbing the boar right in the brain and killing it instantly.Back at their campsite Ren prepared their boar slowly roasting it over a fire as Noir stared at it with an impatient look. “Man, I’m starving can’t you cook any faster you dumb pig.”, Noir said holding his stomach. Ren still tending to the boar replied, “I think this boar is still upset over the fact that we killed it now it’s being cooked slow on purpose.”, Ren said with a slight chuckle. All of a sudden Ren tensed up and looked off into the distance, “Who’s there?”, Ren asked. Claire and Celti slowly appeared from the trees, “Looks like you figured out how to use life magic to sense enemies coming, impressive as always.”, Claire said. “Oh, miss Claire it’s been a while please have a seat, we were just about to eat.”, Ren said pointing to a spot across from him and Noir. Claire walked over and sat down at the spot Ren offered her. Ren finished cooking the boar then cut off pieces for all four of them. “You two seem to be getting along well now in terms of teamwork.”, Celti said, “and it looks like you both got down proper use of magic.”, she continued. Noir spoke, “Yeah I think we’ve gotten the hang of the five magic types you taught us, but we still can’t use miscellaneous magic.” Claire thought about it for a minute and in between bites said, “That is strange however the a fairy and human using multiple types of magic is never heard of before, so we’ll just have to figure this stuff out as we go.” All four of them continued eating for Ren and Noir who spent months on their own having new company was a welcomed treat. As they finished eating Noir asked why Claire and Celti are here now when its been months since Ren and Noir saw them. “Let me get right to the point”, Claire said, “It’s almost time for this year’s knight candidate exam, originally, I was going to have you wait until next year like most people but after seeing how you’ve been improving, I think you might be ready. That is assuming you two think you are?” Ren and Noir talked in secret with each other for minute then turned bac to Claire and Celti. Noir spoke, “There’s something we need to do first if we can do this then we’ll be ready.”Back at the castle Ren and Noir walked into a familiar room with trees and foliage as Claire and Celti were up in the observation room. Claire then moved her hand over to a red button Celti then spoke, “What are you doing that’s not the same minotaur they fought last time.” Claire spoke, “It’s already guaranteed that they can beat that monster right now they need a real test that’ll show them that they can pass this exam.” Celti continued, “But surely, we have other minotaur’s that can give them that confidence does have to be that one, when we found it, that thing had killed the rest of its pact. Not to mention when we have people train with it the lucky ones come back with only a missing arm.”, she said objecting to Claire’s plan. “This isn’t just for giving them confidence it’s also the best way to shut up any argument remaining that Noir should just be a lab rat. We have to do this.”, as Claire said that she slammed the button down and in the room Ren and Noir are in a blood curdling roar erupted. Ren got in to a readied stance as Noir started feeding him magic. Through the trees emerged a minotaur twice the size of the one they fought last year, covered in dry blood, and possessing four arms each looking like they had enough strength to crush boulders, even among minotaurs this one was truly a monstrosity. The minotaur then roared directly at Ren who did not falter and still had his focused look. The minotaur then readied a swing at both of them but as its arms raised above its head it just fell to the ground. As it fell down a giant hole can be seen coming from its chest all the way to the back. Celti looked where Ren and Noir were and found that they weren’t there Claire then pointed to the opposite end with a look of bliss on her face, as Celti looked she saw both of them and Ren’s left hand was covered in blood. This minotaur who was arguably one of the strongest seen in this kingdom that the best rookies have trouble with, was just killed in an instant by Ren and Noir.
Where Fairies Dwell Part 4Ren woke up to find himself once again in the bedroom in the capital of Qarus. As he looked around, he saw that his left arm was in a cast, “What happened?”, he asked. A moment later he felt a sudden headache as memories of his fight rang in his head. He remembered fighting the Minotaur, using physical magic, getting sent flying, and the Minotaur about to attack Noir. Upon remembering that last part he looked around panicked and saw him on a pillow right next to him, he was unconscious but for the most part he seemed alright, Ren breathed a sigh of relief. As Ren got on his feet, he stumbled a bit then fell to the ground. Ren then saw the door open as Claire this time without Celti, as she walked through, she saw that Ren has awoken quickly walked over to him and helped him to his feet. “Even a Minotaur can’t keep you down for long I see.”, Claire said, she then looked over at Noir then back at Ren and said, “Bring him along be sure not to wake him up, poor guy needs his rest.” Ren looked at Noir agreed then carefully put him into the breast pocket of a coat on one of the hangers, the two of them walked out of the room and started walking down the hallway discussing what happened. “Ren exactly how much do you remember from that trial?”, Claire asked. “I remember the Minotaur, fighting back, and oh yeah…”, he says holding up his broken arm, “getting beat up by that monster and breaking an arm!” Claire chuckled for a second then said, “Sorry about that I did all I could to heal most of your injuries and fix your leg, but your arm was too much at the time I’ll be sure to fix it later, for now we have something to discuss. Back to the fight do you remember what happened next?” Ren thought for a minute then shook his head no. Claire continued, “Essentially after the monster sent you flying it turned its sights on Noir and before the monster killed him you were somehow able to use elemental magic to shield him even though you have already shown to use physical magic.” As she said that the memories came back to Ren, “You mean that wasn’t someone else, I was able to use two types of magic, is that even possible?”, he asked. “Apparently so since you were able to pull it off. But I’ve never seen anything like this before it’s… exciting.”, as she said that a smile can be seen forming on her face as she licked her lips. “But regardless we have a meeting with a very important person to discuss you and your partner.” Ren and Claire arrived at a pair rather fancy looking pair of doors. As they walked through inside was a man sitting on a throne waiting for them. This man had a very aura about him that commanded respect from his stern expression to his rather fancy looking jacket. As Claire approached this man she knelt down before him. When Ren looked at this man sitting on the throne, he remembered seeing his face several times in papers, he’s the newly appointed 25th King, Lord Tyrell Ismail, and immediately knelt down like Claire. “Your Majesty I have brought the boy as you requested.”, Claire spoke. “Thank you and please there’s no need to kneel we have much to discuss.” Following his request Claire and Ren stood back up, while Claire was relaxed Ren was still nervous. The King got up from his seat and walked towards Ren and Claire, “It is very nice to finally meet you Ren I saw your trial against the minotaur you performed better than expected given your experience.” As he says that he extends a hand to shake Claire’s hand, “Really in just a few minutes you were able to learn how to use basic physical magic now that is a real talent.” Claire interjected with an annoyed look on her face, “Sir for the last you really need to wear your glasses especially if I look like a guy from this close.” Ren couldn’t help but chuckle a bit which helped to ease the tension he was feeling. The king grabbed reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a pair of glasses turned to face Ren then shook his hand. The glasses somehow made him look less intimidating like he faces problems like everyone else. The king continued to speak, “Sorry about I find that for some reason people take me less serious with them on.” Claire then interjected, “Do they take you any less serious than being caught shaking the wrong persons hand? Besides I told you all that is just in your head, I for one think they make you look rather smart.” The king continued, “Back to the topic at hand Ren could you please wake up your fairy.” Ren pulled Noir out of his shirt pocket and nudged him awake. As Noir slowly woke up, he looked around confused by where he was, “What happened? Where are we?”, Noir then turns his head to the king, “And who’s the stiff in the glasses?” After hearing this Lord Tyrell retreated behind a pillar and mumbled to himself, “It was all in my head she said they make me look she said. Well, that fairy said I looked like a bug-eyed creep.” Claire then goes over to the king and yells at him, “Sir you are a king how are you supposed to rule a kingdom if you start crying every time someone says something mean to you besides, he never said you were bug eyed.” Lord Tyrell looked at her and said, “Yeah I guess your right alright let's continue.” he then walks back over to Ren and Noir both with a slack-jawed expression on their faces. “Uh sorry about that man.”, Noir said. “It’s alright now back to what I wanted to talk to you about.”, Lord Tyrell’s expression became more serious, “Ren, Noir I would like both of you both to become knights in order to defend the kingdom.” Ren and Noir both were taken aback by this and stood silent with confused expressions. The king continued, “I know it’s a lot to take in but as it stands you two have a rather special power, being able to use multiple types of magic is something the people of this kingdom has never seen before. So, I would like to have you become a part of my order of knights.” Noir looked over at Ren then looked at the king then said, “I’m sorry your majesty but that’s not what we want to do. Ren wants to travel and see the world and that’s something I’d like to do as well.” Claire looks at Ren and says, “While I respect your decision to see the world, I must ask you to reconsider.”, she continues, “Our kingdom is under the threat of enemy forces and you will be very valuable in the …" Lord Tyrell cut off Claire and spoke in a rather upset tone, “Claire we are not a dictatorship our citizens have the right to follow whatever path they want to. Having said that Ren, Noir how about I escort you to the border of the kingdom personally.” Ren and Noir looked at each other then back at the King and said, “Are you serious?” The king continued, “Yes, I will escort you both and once I get back, I will write up the paperwork, normally you need a written document granting you permission to leave the kingdom which is a lengthy but as an apology for the trial I will allow you to skip this step all together. Although I do have one condition if at any point before you cross the border that you wish to return you will join the knights.” Ren and Noir agreed and out of nowhere a red fairy appeared next to Lord Tyrell the fairy spoke, “Nice to meet you all I’m Treven alright let’s get going.” Treven started glowing red as Lord Tyrell started creating a magic circle beneath both him, Treven, Ren, and Noir in an instant they all vanished from the room. Elsewhere in a valley all four of them suddenly appear out of nowhere. Ren and Noir are shocked as they looked around trying to figure out what just happened. Lord Tyrell then explained, “Treven uses miscellaneous magic which I used in order teleport great distances, but enough about that behold...” he motions his hand to the opposite direction Ren and Noir are facing, they turn around and see an amazing, beautiful valley stretched out before them. However, as Ren and Noir continued to look, they see a giant off in the distance fighting a colossal sized bird controlling lightning. Then out of nowhere a monster jumps out of the ground and eats both before being electrocuted by the bird. Ren and Noir have a horrified expression on their faces as the king continues, “The outside world is a place only the strongest can survive and I hate to say it but you two are nowhere near that. That minotaur you fought was an infant that was exiled from its pack because it was the weakest, which is why we use it for training. I’m afraid you both will die instantly if you go out there as is. But if you were to join my knights, we can train you two to be strong enough to survive out there. As you both get stronger you will get to go on missions and see parts of the world most people don’t even know exist. Knowing all of this do you two still want to go out there now.” Ren looked at Noir and said, “He makes a convincing argument, but I won’t do it unless you want to as well.” Noir looked at Ren, then the king, then to the valley filled with monsters that’ll kill the both of them, Noir then said, “Alright you got yourself your majesty.” Lord Tyrell was pleased by this and said, “Splendid tomorrow starts your training you two better get ready!”...

'Je Suis L'amour'"Je suis l'amour" he somberly pontificated behind closed doors as her seemingly disinterested voice resonated through the high chambered metal columns holden to her microphone. Calmly, steadily, words proffered advice for those that listened, ears reeling and stunned, while tongues fashioned silence in the captivating sound of her steeled truth. Previously unknown, this soulful melody now ebbed and flowed with a lyrical fashion from behind a socially invisible face. "Gods fearing pretty, broken porcelain walls only cling together under powder-coated verbal exteriors to provide a temporary shelter when they feel threatened". He laughed. Finally. The house was brought down to its knees, and deafening quiet was only accompanied by tears of understanding and relief: someone had finally given a voice to reason, to rise, to overthrow and reset the unsustainable pattern of an otherwise untouchable time bomb set for an internally destructive demise. It then hit. Always excluded in the real, not only did he feel she was infrequently alone, but realized these prolifically isolating behaviors valued no depth for him or from within...their gods were just as foreign to themselves as to others who also graced these porcelain walls. A brief, temporary moment of pressure satiated the need to justify her frozen words from being dissolved. She turned from the stage and in the quickness of a light change, disappeared into the background. "Ha, pomme. Adam est la pomme. Les mots d'Evie dansent dans le château."

comm story Dark secret government breeding farm hi this is a pokemon story based on dark and erotic setting.the story will be divided into 3 parts.....commission for anonymous.This is a world where each trainer travels the world with their Pokemon, training, challenging gyms, becoming strong to grow their bond with their Pokemon, and then face the ultimate battle against the Pokemon League champion.An organization whose true identity is unknown, hides in the shadow of everyone and the rest of the world.The organization wants to exploit the Pokemon League for their evil plans, selling eggs to create new, super-powerful Pokemon and then manipulating the Pokemon League.At the Pokemon League they conduct experiments and for this reason, every morning material arrives in warehouses that hide strange packages, that is, strange goods that arrive from another unknown country; these packages contain a strange secret formula that is used to transform human beings into super powerful Pokemon and for this reason so much experimentation is done on them.When a human being receives this mysterious egg in his hands, a strange alarm goes off or it produces a very loud sound and immediately afterwards steam or a strange gas begins to escape which completely envelops the human being, thus breathing this substance after a while it circulates throughout the body and so after a while you begin to notice strange phenomena in your body and mind, thus phases of transformation begin in which the body manifests strange changes and then the transformation is carried out successfully.The League then, a scientist shows his experiment in which during these phases the mind begins to have both auditory and visual hallucinations and subsequently other strange mental phenomena are amplified and which cannot be explained.At the end of the transformation, some organizations and terrorist groups wanted to take it over for their evil plans; but some scientists did not agree because they did not know if the transformation had had any side effects, so some scientists wanted to cancel and cancel the experiment, at a certain point some scientists began to disobey the orders they were given, in the end they spray was sprayed on them to prevent them from fleeing and they were given orders that were given against their will.Ash travels with his partner May...In a quiet village the annual festival was in full swing.<> says Vera, << yes I'm coming, how many other shops do you have to show me around? >> Ash replies; before reaching his partner he sees a person he knows << Pikachu that's Misty, let's go and say hello to her, we haven't seen her in a long time. >> In the end Misty joins together with Ash.<> says Misty, so in the end Ash, Misty and May find a place to stay for the night.<< How strange it seemed to me that I saw a shadow, I must have been wrong. >> Ash says a little confused.<< There are only two rooms >> Ash was thinking of a solution.<> Vera replied.At that point everyone went to their rooms, but suddenly strange noises were heard in the house, coming from the kitchen...Strange footsteps approached Ash's roommates; suddenly we heard the sound of a moving vase rolling, it was almost about to fall, suddenly it was stopped by a suspicious shadow.<>……. << Ah sorry, it's just too dark that I can't see anything. >> …….. << Sshhh silence >>.Ash was woken up by the sound of the windows from the strong wind slamming, so he went into the kitchen << I really want a glass of milk, to sleep better >> said Ash, immediately afterwards he headed to his room to sleep.The two still unknown shadows were in front of the door of the two girls' bedroom, at which point Vera was woken up by the creaking of a noise; but at first she thought it was Ash, since she was still sleepy <>In that moment the girls were put to sleep with a handkerchief with some sleeping pill <The sun was rising. Ash was sleeping with Pikachu, but suddenly a strange noise was heard << crashh >> at that moment Pikachu was woken up by the noise << Pika! >> exclaimed Pikachu, who got out of bed and left the room, went through the door of the room to head into the kitchen, when he got there he found some shards of the destroyed vase, but he didn't understand how it broke; immediately afterwards he inspected the kitchen to see if everything was okay and finally went to wake up his coach…….<< Pika, Pika, Pikachu……>>Pikachu tried in every way to make him wake up, but he couldn't, so in the end he used his attack against him, which was the shock thunder that completely burned him until he woke up...<< Pikachu, what's wrong with you >> said Ash, as soon as he woke up.<< Pika, Pika... >> replied Pikachu who was very agitated and took him to the kitchen.<< Ah, the vase broke, maybe it was put in a bad way and it must have fallen accidentally >> Ash replied, heading towards the fridge to have breakfast.<< Come Pikachu, here's your breakfast, I know you like it a lot. >> Ash served breakfast to Pikachu; so he started by putting his breakfast on the table, a glass of milk and cereals << this is the best breakfast I prefer >> said Ash...After that much noise made by Pikachu and Ash, still no trace of the girls, << strange, but are Misty and May still sleeping? In a few hours we should already start going >> said Ash, while he was enjoying his breakfast, he asked Pikachu to wake them up and Pikachu was very happy to go to their room.<< Pikaaa…. >> replied Pikachu, who ran into the girls' room out of enthusiasm, but...Pikachu found himself in front of the room, opened it and suddenly found it empty, which at that point became confused as to where the girls are; maybe they went to the bathroom? Or maybe to get a breath of fresh air and some sun?So Pikachu checked the bathrooms, but nothing happened, he went into the living room, but they weren't there either, he went out of the house to call them, but no trace; at that point Pikachu went to Ash to warn him.<< Pika, Pika >> said Pikachu, he started gesturing very quickly, <> said Ash, so Pikachu took him to the girls' room, so at that point he showed Ash that the girls aren't there.<< Strange that they aren't there, yet their backpacks are still here >> said Ash who at that point started calling them << Misty, May......, where are you? >> Ash called them, but no response, at which point Pikachu noticed some strange footprints with a bit of mud and a strange handkerchief on the ground, who at that point called his trainer.<> replied Ash, who at that precise moment both understood that they had been kidnapped by someone, but it is not clear who or what...<< Pikachu we have to go, there's not a minute to waste. >> said Ash.Ash together with Pikachu went outside leaving their apartment, to head to the nearest Pokemon center……..Ash is inside a Pokemon center, where he was on a call with his mother and Professor Oak.<< Pikachu, we'll be on the line with mom soon. >> said Ash, at that moment he was very upset about the disappearance of his companions.<< Pika, Pika …….. Pikaaaa.>> Pikachu replied, he was in a hurry to go and save them.The screen turns on showing Delia Ketchum along with Professor Oak and Mr.Mime.<< Hi Ash, how is your coaching journey going? What's wrong, I see you're a little worried? >> the mother asked, seeing her son's very sad face.<< Not good, I was refueling for the trip. For now this is not the important thing. >> Ash replied.<< Pikachu, what's wrong? >> his mother asked, seeing that he was sad too.<< Mime Mime >> Mr.Mime was trying to mime something.<< Ash, have you caught any new Pokemon species? >> asked Professor Oak.<< Professor Oak, Misty and May have disappeared >> said Ash, he was very agitated.<> replied Professor Oak.Professor Oak thus begins to warn him of a strange event, that is, that an evil organization that not much is known about them, is presumed to have something to do with the disappearance of his friends, including Misty and May and that their disappearance they were last seen at the breeding ranch.Oak so sends Ash to investigate and do some investigating.Suddenly the video call signal starts to have disturbances.The signal is interrupted due to a fault, sparks and smoke begin to come out; Ash is caught by surprise after the signal is lost.Ash and Pikachu leave the Pokemon Center, then the nurses call a police officer for the car breakdown; So much smoke and sparks begin to come out that the nurse opens the windows, evacuating everyone from the building.Boooooommmm……… the building exploded Ash was thrown to the ground after the explosion because of this Pikachu was injured and a nurse came to his rescue to treat him, so Pikachu recovered in an instant.The trainer together with his Pikachu leave the Pokemon center to head to the breeding ranch.Meanwhile, in another place exactly at the Pokemon League in a secret laboratory they are conducting mysterious investigations with a strange organization that acts in the shadows.

Hello, I'm hoping to get critique on this. It would be helpful and thank you. The World As I Know itAs I stepped into the shower, the week that had just passed flooded out of my mind. The warm water washed away the feeling that at any moment all hell could break loose and replaced it with the feeling of a calm, yet restless environment. I just stood in the water, letting it wash over me. The tranquility set my mind and body at ease. I stood facing the inner wall with the gentle pressure falling onto my shoulders. Eventually, the water turned cold and with the heat; my perception of reality left as well. “Are you listening to me? Hello, Blush? Helloooo?” someone was talking to me. “What?” I responded to the annoying voice in my ear. “Are you planning on sleeping all day?” I felt a pair of arms under my own attempt to lift me up. “Come on. You’re too heavy for me to move on my own.” “That’s a lie. Go on without me, I’m taking a nap.” The sound of a hand slamming down on my desk came less than a second after finishing that sentence. It startled me enough for me to sit up. It was Maria, my best friend, and the only person bold enough to give an honest try at waking me up. She was close to my face which made me jump in my seat. “May, what do you want?” May was her nickname. She’s a sweet girl who likes to be friendly with everyone as long as the first thing they ask her about isn’t the black eyepatch on her left eye. She was always sensitive about that. “I want you to take an after-school club or activity. You’re coming with me and I won’t take no for an answer.” I looked up at her and was about to make up an excuse when someone else started talking. “May, don’t bother with her. She’ll just find an excuse to go home and flake on us again.” It was Rosarie. Her, May and I were best friends before high school when we had a falling out I couldn't remember why but, It kept since just before the school year. She also had a habit of calling everyone “Mis” and “Mister” regardless of age. Everyone aside for those she considers friends. “What do you mean ‘flake on us again’? You don’t even deserve an Irish goodbye.” “Har, har, har. The Irish girl that doesn’t deserve an Irish goodbye? Don’t make laugh.” “Come to think about it, aren’t you Scottish?” “Mis Hamlett, you don’t even seem to know what I am.” “Aww, this is the first time you two talked in like a month. Does that mean that the Super Star Squad is back on?” May intervened. Used to call ourselves the Super Star Squad because of our distinct hair colors. Rosarie was a deep redhead May was bright blonde and my hair was pitch black. We each identified as a star and even took it far enough to have a mantra. “You know what? We can settle this right now.” I had gotten up after noticing that the classroom was empty except for us three. “Blush, you’re jumping the gun.” May’s warning landed on deaf ears. “And how do you suppose we do that?” Responded Rosarie. “You too?” said May. “Same as always; we wrestle. The first one on the ground loses. If I win, you shut up for the rest of the day- no, a week as long as you’re around me except those few times where you actually need to say something.” After enough scuffles with other people, we both realized that if we fought with each other, there would be no end so, the one hitting the ground first rule was decided on to mitigate that possibility. “You guys don’t need to do this.” May was still voicing her opinion. “Then, If I win, you go a day- no, a week without your precious earmuffs. That goes for your headphones too.” She knew my weakness as well as anyone. I was always very sensitive about my ears. They come to an unnatural point at the end, so I always hid them in a pair of blue earmuffs or headphones. Whenever they were uncovered in public, I’d turn red in embarrassment. That’s how I got the nickname “Blush”. “You got yourself a deal.” We moved the desks around and made sure the door was locked so that we couldn’t be interrupted. “Are you ready to lose?” “Please stop,” May interjected again. “That’s my line.” Said Rosarie, ignoring May as much as I was. We were on opposite sides of the room, ready to run at each other. “You guys are making me mad.” We both heard her and didn’t heed her warning. “Three, two, one, go,” We said, at the same time before rushing to grapple with each other. As soon as we made contact, we both fell to the ground. We were pushed over by May and she was on top of us. “Hey, what was that for-.” I started before getting cut off. “You both lose.” She stood up and held out her hand. “Earmuffs.” “What? But-.” “Now.” She was mad. It would be difficult, to say the least, to make someone like May mad but we succeeded. “Ok... Here you go.” I took them off and handed them to her. “Headphones too.” “They’re in my jacket pocket.” She reached into my black jean pocket and took out my headphones. “What are you gonna do with them?” I asked. “I’m keeping them,” she said, storing them carefully in her purse. “What? But-.” “You lost, remember?” “She told you-,” Started Rosarie before also getting cut off. “Shh! Not unless spoken to. By me. You lost too.” “But-.” “Shh!” Rosarie looked down on herself, ashamed. “She sure told you- Oww!” May grabbed me by my left ear. “That actually hurts you know.” I reached for her hand to pull it away. “If you pull, It gets worse.” I didn’t contest her. “You’ll get your stuff back when we’re done finding you something to do after school instead of you just taking naps in the classroom to make everyone think you’re doing something. I care about your future and to hell, if you don’t.” “Heh, heh- Ow!” Rosarie started laughing and was shut up with a pinch to the cheek. “I’m sick of you two fighting and bickering all the time. You’re supposed to be friends so, act like it.” “No, I don’t like being forced to socialize with people like her,” I said, folding my arms. “For once, I agree,” Confirmed Rosarie. “If you don’t get along right now.” May leaned in towards the ear she was holding. “I’ll do that thing you don’t like.” Her whispering in my ear alone was enough to send bad shivers down my spine. “And you.” She leaned in and whispered something to Rosarie that made her straighten up and shake her head involuntarily. “Do I make myself clear you two?” “Yes, mom,” I responded. “Rose?” she looked to Rosarie. “It’s hard to argue with sound logic like that.” Responded Roserie “Now, stand up and hug, got it?” We were both sitting on the floor until she let us go. We stood up, facing each other. “Better yet, shake hands. I don’t trust either of you two with a hug yet.” We reluctantly shook hands and followed May out of the classroom and down to the old gym. The old gym was a hub for many after school sports activities. It was also where other clubs advertised themselves. The gym was more than large enough for at least four different clubs to use at once. There were also dividers set up to split the gym evenly and prevent squabbles. They never really worked. “So Blush, see anything you like?” “No.” “Don’t be like that. How about ballet?” “You made me try ballet last time and I didn’t like it remember?” “No, last time, you flaked on us.” She came close to my face. “Remember? And don’t try that ‘I had something to do at home’ excuse. I checked with your mom.” “Hey, how are you just gonna go all the way to the top on me like that?” “Stop flaking and I won’t have to.” She came really close to stomping her foot. “Ok, how about we start by ruling out anything you don’t like.” “I don’t like anything that involves physical activity or thinking,” I said, knowing that most of the clubs involved those exact two things. “Ok, how about the music club, anime club, or book club?” “Book club still requires thinking.” “Not that kind of thinking.” “Touche,” I said, after a moment of reflection. “Besides, If I wanted to listen to music, I’d do it at home. Same for reading, and have you ever heard of a weabu?” “No, what is that?” “I don’t know but, it sounds like a derogatory term for people who watch anime and I don’t want something else for people to call me.” I knew what the term meant and that I didn’t describe me in the least but I was hoping the mention of a derogatory term would persuade her. “But, don’t you watch anime?” She asked, innocently. “You’re a weabu.” I clearly heard it from Rosarie. I was a split second from turning and slapping her in the face. “Rose!” I hadn't heard May yell in a long time and it scared me. We both jumped. “What did I say in the classroom?” “Not to speak unless you speak to me...” “Right so, apologize to Blush.” “Do I have to?” “Yes.” “Sorry, Ms. Hamlett.” “Is that how you address your friends?” “Blush.” “How’s it feel to be bossed around?” I immediately regretted saying that. “Now, Morgan.” The only time she’d call me by my first name is when she was serious. “Yes, ma’am?” I took a half step back. “You know I love you, right?” I tried to take another step back, but she caught me in a hug. “Yeah so, can you let me go?” I knew what she was going to do and it was too late to stop it. She had my arms pinned to my sides and the position was locked in. “No. You know, I’m trying to help you and you keep fighting me on this. It seems like you need all the tuff love I can give.” While saying this, she lifted me up off of the ground and squeezed. “Now, pick a club or I’m just gonna drag you kicking and screaming to ballet with me.” “Ok, I’ll be a weeb and join the anime club now, will you put me down? This hurts.” She let up and stopped squeezing, but didn't put me down. “Hey, Mighty Mouse.” Someone familiar-sounding came walking up. “I thought I heard a commotion. What are you doing here? I thought you had ballet.” “I’m not going today. I’m helping Blush find something to do after school, whether she likes it or not,” Responded May. “Blush? Oh, Morgan.” He moved where I could see him. “What did you to piss off Maria that bad?” He was a little taller than me with blue-dyed spiky hair and dark eyes in fencing gear. His name was Nile and even though they never really acted like a couple, he and May were definitely into each other. “It wasn’t just me. Help.” “Sorry, no can do. It seems like you made your bed in this one.” “If you’re not gonna help then, piss off- uh.” I was squeezed again for a second. “Sorry.” “Man, you really stepped into it this time, huh?” He looked over at Rosarie. “And why do you have such a long face.” She gestured to her throat to communicate that she couldn’t speak. “Why can’t you talk?” She pointed at me and May. “Morgan, what did you do?” “No, I said she couldn’t talk,” Said May, sweetly. “They were fighting again and I intervened this time. Isn’t that right, Rose?” She nodded and kept silent. “They hurt my feelings so they're doing what I say to make it up to me. Isn’t that right, Blush?” “I mean, you’re kinda forcing me to- oww you’re making my elbows dig into my sides. Why are you so strong anyway?” “Because I do ballet. I have to pick up heavier girls than you.” “I see you took off those earmuffs.” Said Nile, rubbing my head. In less than a second, my teeth were bared and his hand was in my crosshairs. With a quick move from May, He just narrowly avoided missing a glove and a finger. “Now, Blush, what did I say back in the classroom?” “You only said that I had to get along with her,” I said, leaning my head towards Rosarie. “Ok, you asked for it. Gimme that ear.” She released one arm to grab at my ear. I took that chance to escape. I purposely hadn’t been squirming up till that point just in case. I quickly wriggled out of her grasp and made way toward the door. Rosarie tried to block it, but she was too late. I was past her before she knew what was happening. I stopped in my tracks after the door closed behind me. I didn’t have my earmuffs or headphones and I wasn’t sure exactly what would happen if May caught me. That girl really doesn’t know her strength so, I had no choice but to hide in the classroom. When they found me, I was sniffling while covering my ears in the corner. I wasn’t crying up till then but, when I heard the two of their voices entering the room, I started. “Blush, is that you?” Cooed May, carefully shifting toward me. I slowly nodded my head. “Were you crying?” I shook my head. “Did I scare you that much?” I nodded. “I’m sorry, I’m not mad at you ok?” I nodded again. “I shouldn't have gotten so mad at you two, to begin with. It’s just that when I see you two fighting, it gets to me, you know?” I nodded again. “I just want things to go back to the way they used to be. When you two were friendly with each other and not at each other's throats.” She gave me an earnest hug. “Come on. Let’s just hang out today. Just the three of us.” “Alright, I get it,” I said, getting up. ”I’m not a fragile snowflake. I didn’t mean to act like one and you know I hate being treated like one. It’s just that my ear still really hurts.” I showed them my ear. “Oh, I’m really sorry. It’s all red and swollen. Here’s your earmuffs back and your headphones.” “I can’t wear either one anyway because it would make my ear hurt more.” I put them both in my bookbag. “Now, how am I supposed to go home?” “Let me see.” Rosarie was the last one I expected to say something. She moved behind me, took out my butterfly hair clip and gently patted what was a loose ponytail down over my ears. “You look totally different now but, at least, your ears won’t show. Mostly.” “Are trying to be friendly?” I asked, vaguely unsure of the answer. “I thought a little goodwill would go a long way. Honestly, I don’t remember why we started fighting to begin with.” “Me neither.” “I know why,” Said May. “I pay close attention to you two. The reason why you two started fighting is that; Rose, you were always the posh and bossy type and Bluh; you were always a rebellious tomboy with a stark dislike for rules and those who enforce them. You two always countered each other and, I was always the mediator detective there to spit facts and put you both in your place. Somewhere along the line, you two became more at odds than before and I wasn’t there to mediate as much.” “You make it sound like a T.V show,” I said, hugging her tightly. “It’s not your fault, trust me, It’s ours. You shouldn’t have to mediate between us anyway.” “It’s true,” Confirmed Rosarie, hugging the both of us. “If I knew I had a flaw like that, I’d have worked to change that and I’m sure Blush would have as well.” “I agree but, when you put it that way, it sounds like it might be your fault for not letting us know our flaws when you thought it might be ruining our friendship.” I continued. “Does that mean that our friendship can set sail?” Asked May. “I’m the red star, blazing across distant seas.” Started Rosarie. “I’m the bright sun, twirling in every horizon!” Continued May, excitedly. “And I’m-” I started, subconsciously. With me being so used to saying it, the words came out on their own. The other two looked at me, knowingly and I continued. “The void of twilight, mystifying mortals in the night.” “And together we’re the Super Star Squad!” We cheered together. “So, where are we hanging out today?” I asked. “Follow us, we’ll take you to a secret place I have in mind,” said May. “May, you can’t just decide that it’s against the rules.” Complained Rosarie. “Screw the rules. That’s your bossiness getting ahead of you,” I said, “So, where is it?” “It’s a secret, so you'll just have to follow us to find out.” Responded May. “Are you sure that’s a good idea? There’s a reason she wasn’t picked.” Rosarie whispered to May. We were already walking outside and down one of the few deserted streets in the neighborhood. All of the houses were boarded up or in complete shambles. May told me to stay around fifteen feet behind them until we got to our destination. “I can hear you, you know,” I spoke up. “It’ll be ok.” Responded May, giving me a thumbs-up behind her back. “But what if it’s not?” Continued Rose. “Then, she’ll be my responsibility.” “More like our responsibility.” “I see we’re in agreement then.” “Whatever.” She sighed. About halfway down the block, they took a turn towards the back yard of one of the houses. Suddenly, a quick breeze whipped by and I scrambled to cover my ears. In doing so, I lost sight of the two. Continuing towards the house they went behind, I got a strong feeling that I shouldn’t have been there. The feeling made me stop and reconsider if I was going the right way. Looking around, the house was the same but, I saw no back door or any entrance in general. None boarded up or makeshift. It was definitely strange. I was literally fifteen feet behind them and they were gone. I began looking around and touching the outside of the house. I came to a spot in the middle next to an old firehose. The same feeling from before struck through me and I backed off. “Stay out,” I said impulsively. It was like the feeling itself had a scripture or a written form and I ‘read’ it if you will. Getting closer, The feeling got stronger and my ears started feeling hot. I touched the wall and they started burning up. I felt like I was just hit with a bad fever. It scared me and the more scared I got, the hotter my ears felt and the more I wanted to know why I was feeling that way. “Stop,” I said, aloud and the sound of glass breaking came from in front of me A doorway sized portion of the wall was gone and replaced by a set of stairs. The negative feeling went away but not the burning of my ears. It actually felt kind of soothing and made the pain I was still in less noticeable. I followed the stairs down and was greeted by voices down a surprisingly clean hallway. The stairs and floor were both light blue and the walls were stone-grey. There were at least five brown doors on each side of the hall leading to a blue one at the end. Creeping toward the only off-color door, the voices became clearer. “It doesn’t matter. You can’t just bring her here because she’s your friend.” It was Nile’s voice. “Though, It’s not like I didn’t see this coming.” “But she might be able to do something. Even if it’s not much.” This time, it was May’s voice. “That’s not the point. She has problems with authority.” He responded. “We can’t afford someone like that.” “He has a point.” There was a new voice. If it was who I thought it was, I was going to punch him in the face. He had the same authority problem that I had. “You said that the only qualifier was outstanding natural abilities. You of all people should know what she’s capable of.” Of all people, Rose was standing up for me. “True, but she’s not the type to take orders or follow rules. How are we supposed to keep her from becoming a liability?” he replied. “Easy.” said May, “She listens to me.” “Fine, she’s both of your responsibilities then,” Said Niles. “Why me too?” asked Rose, as if she didn’t already expect it. “Two pairs of eyes are better than one. Especially on her.” “Does that mean that I can be a part of whatever this is?” I said, opening the door and stepping into the room. The walls and the floor were the same as the hallway except for the carpet, dartboard, multiple different seats, and tables. “How did she get in here?” Whispered the boy hiding behind a door frame to the left at the other side of the room. It was exactly who I thought it was. His name was Mikael. A cousin on my dad’s side. I’d recognize that pale complexion and blue eyes anywhere. “I saw you go over there dumbass!” I called to him. “I also heard you bad-mouthing me.” “Blush, your ears.” May’s eyes widened and seemingly glazed over. “They’re on fire.” “They feel like they’re on fire- wait, you can still see them?” “It’s hard not to.” Rose pulled out a hand mirror. “Look.” My ears were surrounded in flames and my hair was constantly flowing back even though there was no wind. “That’s really cool,” I said, watching as my hair and the flickering flames went different directions based on how I moved my head. “Hey, Morgan,” Niles called to me and I looked up at him. “Catch.” He tossed a wooden sword at me and I caught it. “There’s a button on the handle. Watch your fingers, press it, and concentrate. The flames should go away.” He lifted himself off of the blue sofa in which he sat and began walking toward the same exit that Mikael took. “You can use that for now.” I pressed the button and a blade extended out of what I thought was a blunt edge. It’s weight increased as well. It came from weighing about as much as a stick to as much as a steel pole. It nearly tipped me over but, I just barely held onto it. The blade turned red and my ears stopped feeling so hot. “Oh yeah, and welcome to the Fury Hunter’s Guild.” He stepped out of the door and left me with May, Rose, and a million questions.TO BE CONTINUED

I am working on publishing a novel. I have everything pretty much in order, yet no fanbase really. Any advice on gaining and maintaining a fanbase

ANYONE WANT FREE CRITS?

So my dastardly brother has decided to make himself of benefit to society by starting a blog wherein he critiques books. He'll mostly focus on self-published authors and beginners rather than doing the works of traditions authors...so basically don't expect him to run around talking smack about George. R. R Martin. Pfft, chicken. Anyway, if you have something that you want critiqued, go ahead and shoot me a note. I'll get it to him. This will be public and might get a little brutal depending on how much he finds, but he won't be mean or derogative and he's actively trying to help. Last thing to know is that these crits won't be book long or even entire chapters worth, he'll pick one or more sections of varying length, edit them and upload.

That should be everything. Feel free to ask questions.
Fare thee well my future friends.

P.S He's been critiquing for several years now, has written several books ( self published) and is widely read so he is somewhat experienced
