"Hic." Sylvie was sobbing as she was being comforted by Ms. Aria on the carriage back home.
"What's wrong Sylvie? Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Ms. Aria asked Sylvie as she had no clue what had happened today.
"Mr. Bergoni wouldn't let me participate for physical education. Hic." Sylvie cried out.
"That's odd. You wanting to participate in that class for some reason. But, I mean, I can see why he didn't want to let you participate in class." Ms. Aria said.
"Why? Why doesn't he want to let me participate in class?" Sylvie said as she looked at Ms. Aria with tearful eyes.
"You suddenly wanted to participate in class. And with your powers, what do you think you will do to the students? He doesn't want to think of the casualties." Ms. Aria said as she hugged Sylvie from behind.
"But! I can control my strength!" Sylvie complained.
"Then the students would be unmotivated if you hold back. They would think in their head, 'She's a monster. There is no way I can go against someone like that. I give up.'" Ms. Aria said as she looked down and gave Sylvie a kiss on the forehead.
"But why would they think like that?" Sylvie asked her.
"Because, they have fear in them. Everyone has fear somewhere hidden in their hearts. It might not show, but they have one. Even you have one." Ms. Aria said.
"But I don't fear anything." Sylvie bluntly stated.
"Wouldn't you fear losing your family?" Ms. Aria asked her.
"I-I… No…" Sylvie replied as she lowered her head.
"That, is what you fear." Ms. Aria said as she started to stroke Sylvie's head.
"Nnh." Sylvie silently nodded.
"It's best you start learning what others feel like." Ms. Aria stated.

"Nnh." Sylvie nodded once again.
…
"Stop right there!" A shout came from in front of the carriage, blocking it's way.
The carriage came to a stop a few yards away from the group of people that were on the road.
"Excuse me sires. But what do you want? You are blocking the way, please move." The carriage driver said as he held onto the reins of the horse.
"We want to check your carriage! We want to look for a certain lady! She beat up a couple of our men two days ago! We are of the Ragestride's family." The man clad in armor said as an army of 50 was behind him with him as the lead.
"We have no such lady here! All I have is a woman and a girl that I am driving home. Please move out of the way." The carriage driver said.
"No can do! Men, search the carriage!" The man said as he indicated for his men to go.
"I am warning you." The carriage driver said as his eyes flashed with killing intent.
"It's merely a carriage driver! Apprehend him!" The man said.
"Well said then." The carriage driver said as he pulled out two daggers from who knows where and charged at the men at an insane speed.
"See you in the afterlife." He muttered as he instantly flashed before the man closest to him and cleanly sliced off the man's head.

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]
