《Echoes Of Memory》Interlude II

Interlude
We’ll have to begin our preparations sooner than I ever wished. I thought that we could milk another decade out of Vealand in the very lest, but my body is breaking down quicker than ever before. It’s a shame too. I really do enjoy the mountains of Fiell. It’s a refreshing break from the drab coastal capital Vealand once had. I hate the coast. I hate the reminder of who I used to be before we became…before we became we.
How long ago was that? I’m beginning to lose track of time. After so many lives, time ceases to carry the same weight it once had.
But, why, now do I feel like my time is growing shorter with each passing year? I know the need for a new host is something that will never change. But why do I feel trapped? Why am I less me?
Who am I? Who was I before all of this? Evrain wondered.
*****
Carsian was filled with wonder when he read the acceptance letter. Had he, the son of inconsequential fishmongers, really been invited to study the Memory Magics at the Royal Academy of Ke’Ale? How had they even learned of his magic? Even he hadn’t known of his ability. He’d make sure that would be one of the first things he figured out at the Academy.
Carsian would become a great Memory Mage.
No, he wouldn’t settle for greatness. He had seen too many settle for pure existence. Seen too many settle with just being good at what they did. He had seen life pass by on trawlers. He had seen whole lives ebb and flow with the tides.
No, Carsian wouldn’t be like those all too content to have something so insignificant as the whims of fish dictate the life they lived. Carsian would strive for more than just being good at what he did. He wouldn’t settle for something so meager as greatness either.

He would be the best mage to have ever walked the earth.
Carsian would change the world. He would cast his nets and trawl the unseen depths of magic. He wouldn’t just be a great mage like so many others had been before him. He would make magic into his image. He would force it to his will.
*****
“Those doddering old fools. Why do they content themselves with so little!? Memory Magic has limitless potential, but they stubbornly refuse to dive into its depths! They’re like boats, content to float on the surface, but once a storm comes, they sink.
So be it! If they refuse to dive into magic, then they shall sink! And damn them to the depths! They deserve it! Cowardice should never be rewarded. Cowardice is death, and will be the death of Magic. No, I will breath new life into magic.” Carsian thought. He had been at the Academy for three years now.
They had taken him when he was a young, fresh-faced fifteen year old. At eighteen, the resolve he had shown upon his entrance hadn’t dimmed one drop.
It had deepened. It’s depth was limitless like the ocean.
His resolve had been tempered though.
The cowardice of his teachers had tempered Carsian’s ambitions.
Where, when he had first come to the Academy, he’d been excited to share his ambitions with anyone who listened, their constant fear and lack of drive had wore him down.
Cowards, the whole lot of them. Carsian wanted nothing to do with cowards.
They were only as useful to him as the deepness of their understanding of magic. Yes, they may be weak of heart, but one can learn from even the most fearful. Carsian would be a fool to think otherwise.
Carsian was no fool. He was no coward. No weakling.
“Nor will you ever have to be if you listen to me,” a strange voice said.

Grimm Tales: A RWBY Story
Two years after losing everything, two sisters will try to rebuild the lives they one had, as well as mend the heartache left behind through their connection with the many strange cast of characters they meet, and the many strange story's they're caught up in. Grimm Tales is a RWBY fan fiction I wrote and illustrated from 2014 through 2016. Keep that in mind when experiencing the story and the art within it. Also keep in mind that this story is technically unfinished. I put this aside in October of 2016 after completing what you can call the "first season" of what was going to be a multipart series. Even though the entire story remains unfinished, things do end in a somewhat satisfactory manner.
8 100Isekai'd slave
Edward, a regular guy, is transported to another world at the wrong time and place. Slowly, he adapts, paves his way, and faces whatever misfortune awaits. This is my first work. I'm mostly messing around with different themes/characters. The first few chapters are pretty inconsistent, containing most of the rough experimentation, but if you can get past them - I'm sure you'll have a much nicer time. Do not expect anything of notable quality; however, any advice/criticism/suggestions are greatly appreciated. The story won't involve any dark themes, so no excessive violence, rape, etc. Discord
8 67The Necromancer and the Would-Be-Hero

When Hideki meets an untimely end to just be brought back as an undead for an evil necromancer, everything is turned upside down for him. Follow Megumi, the necromancer, and Hideki, the unfortunate hero, on her villainous journey of revenge and destruction.

8 225Behavioural Tutor
Tommy was known as the school's 'Bad Boy', the 'Troubled Kid', the 'Problem Child' and in extreme cases, the 'Psycho', all because he was different. No one understands him, until one day when he gets a Behavioural Tutor and a Therapist. He's had them before, but these people seem different. They're willing to listen to him, to learn about him, but in doing so, realise something is off about Tommy. Is he just a cool kid with an attitude, like Techno? Or is there a secret Tommy's tried so hard to hide. One that would explain his behaviour and frequent injuries.
