This one is not a chapter, merely a link to the sequel.

To fill out the word count needed to publish a chapter, I will copy here four of my favourite poems. Two of them are written in Hungarian, my native language, one of them is German, and the last one is Latin. In turn you can copy the gems your native language produced in the comment section, if you are so inclined.
My absolute favourite, the best poetry humanity ever produced from the pen of Zrínyi Miklós, or Nikola Zrinski:
AZ IDŐ SZÁRNYON JÁR...
Az idő szárnyon jár,
Soha semmit nem vár,
És foly, mint erős folyás;
Visszá soha sem tér,
Mindent a' földre vér,
Mindeneken hatalmas;
Ő gazdagot, szegént
Öszveront egy szerint,
Nincs néki ellenállás.
Csak egy van, időtűl
S az ő erejétűl
Aki békével marad;
Nem fél kaszájátol,
Nem sebes szárnyátol,
Üdő rajta elolvad:
Az tündöklő hirnév,
Mely dicsősségre rév,
Az mindenkor megmarad.
NEM IROM PENNÁVAL...
Nem irom pennával,
Fekete téntával,
De szablyám élivel,
Ellenség vérivel,
Az én örök hiremet.
BEFED EZ A KÉK ÉG...
Befed ez a kék ég, ha nem fed koporsó,
Órám tisztességes csak légyen utolsó.
Akár farkas, akár emésszen meg holló:
Mindenütt felyül ég, a' föld lészen alsó.
It would be absolutely great if some time in the future I got to write a historical novel about Zrínyi. Zrínyi is just the best. Have some more stoic philosophy from him!
Obsidionis Szigetiane, Pars Quarta 1-5:
1.
Fut, fárad az ember és kap ez világon,
Véli, hogy állandó boldogságot adjon;
Nem hiszi, tövébül szerencse szakadjon
Markában, s kis édesért száz ürmet adjon.
2.
Kit gyakran szerencsétlenség messzi kerül,
Valaha őrá is nagy usurával dül;
Mentül nagyobb hegyen forgó szerencse ül,
Annál nagyobb kárral és sebességgel dül.
3.
Örül az szerencse ember esésében,
Advertisement
Azért ő elveszi, teszi csaknem égben,
Hogy gyönyörködhessék nagyobb esésében,
Mint juhász kűsziklán kűnek görgésében.
4.
Én tinéktek példát messziről nem adok,
Noha mennyi hajam van, annyit adhatok:
Mehmet bassa esetét jól hallottátok,
Ült magassan s bizott, de lá, lehanyatlott.
5.
Boldog, az ki jóban el nem bizza magát,
De kész szüvel várja szerencse forgását;
Mind jón, mind gonoszon álhatatlanságát,
Látjuk szerencsének sokféle játékját.
Let’s read some light-hearted stuff from Goethe now, in remembrance of Publius’ favourite sibling!
Goethe: Erlkönig
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.
Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht? –
Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
Den Erlenkönig mit Kron' und Schweif? –
Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif.
"Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir;
Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht? –
Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind. –
"Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort? –
Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh' es genau:
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. –
"Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch' ich Gewalt." –
Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan! –
Dem Vater grauset's; er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.
Last, but not least, I bet Publius would love this one from his two hundred years younger namesake.
VERGILI MARONIS AENEIDOS LIBER SEXTVS
Excudent alii spirantia mollius aera
(credo equidem), vivos ducent de marmore vultus,
orabunt causas melius, caelique meatus
describent radio et surgentia sidera dicent:
tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento
(hae tibi erunt artes), pacique imponere morem,
parcere subiectis et debellare superbos.
Well, that should be enough to satisfy the algorithm. It’s fun though, sharing your favourite poetry like that, isn’t it? We should do this again sometime in the future.

The Survivor
Trillion Biggs was your average 26 year old, she couldn't afford college, and when her grandmother passed away, she was denied any of the inheritance; worse, she was legally disowned and required to change her name to not be associated with the affluent family that refused to help her. when told that her accounts would be frozen the next day, she decided to board a week long cruise to give herself the much needed break from all the stress. Little did she know; events were already taking place to ensure the ship never reentered port. ~Image of Elisabeth Fern Image found using Google Images, original Copyright unkown.

The Protector and the Peacemaker
The secret war between the Slayers and Mythics is secret no longer. Porter the Slayer and Sarah the sphinx have, through their unlikely love, become the bridge between the human and Mythic races, and together they hope they can find a way to end the fighting without one side destroying the other. With incriminating evidence against the Master Slayer, Drake Mortoph, there may be a chance that they can disband the Slayers before the two armies reach each other. Mortoph has more secrets than Porter and Sarah realize, though, and he will stop at nothing to keep them from being revealed.

Avatar: Jǫrðsaga
There is beauty in Chaos and serenity in Order. One cannot exist without the other. Each gives meaning to their counterpart, eternal rivals and eternal lovers. It’s a shame only a rare few ever come to this revelation. Most live their lives trapped in an illusion, their path to enlightenment forever cut off. A lie will forever remain a lie, no matter how sweet it is. I will not turn a blind eye to the truth of the world. It matters not what others think of me, be they family, friends, allies, or enemies. They may call me a monster, a devil, a lunatic even. But I will not bend. I will not break. I will not be forced into conformity under threat posed by the child of Order. Because what is Order if not Chaos’ accomplice? There is only one path worth treading, and I will do whatever it takes to advance forward. For I am Sǫlmundr, Lord of the Earth. Avatar series fanfic. The first volume will not have anything canon. I apologise in advance. It will be setting up the mcs background and origins. It’s gonna be between 60 to 70 chapters in length. The power system in the avatar is pretty non-confrontational. You don’t have to fight for resources like in cultivation novels, so the frequency of his evil acts will be pretty spread out. This is a slow burn novel that I hope will draw readers into the world and slowly build up to whatever the climax of each arc is. I can only promise that he will always be a rational, benefits based mc. No harem. There will be love of some sort, but only because I’m literally forced by the power system to include it. Don’t worry though, mc will always prioritise his own interests first and will not let feelings get in the way. Chapter length: ≈ 2k words Updates: Once a week
