Murim Recurve Chapter 146

"The Stars…" Re'Kha muttered, finding it odd at the sight before her. The stars too were a concept alien to her. She hadn't ever seen them in her world nor had ever come across documents pertaining to one.
It was as if her world didn't possess any stars. Re'Kha gazed at their twinkling figures for some time before she remembered her goal. She sighed, planning to understand them through google later as she grabbed a quick bite before driving her car.
Her phone had been ringing nonstop so she placed it on mute. She didn't even see the name of the caller nor the messages that she had received. For, seeing them would mean a Quest would be triggered.
It might be as simple as returning to her home. But, such a Quest might screw up her plans. That was why Re'Kha closed her eyes and swiped them away before using her phone's functions. Thanks to the information that flowed into her mind, she readily turned off all notifications from all the apps.
This way, no message would pop up while she was surfing the internet for some information. It soon became night, but the roads were still bright enough for her to see with her naked eye.
Re'Kha looked up and noticed the bright radiance emitted from the moon. The twinkling of the stars also added to the brightness, making the night seem less grim than what she had been used to.
In her world, nights were scary. After all, it was when the Sha were the most active. Re'Kha trembled unconsciously when it became nighttime, but the logic stemming from her character made her realise that there existed no such thing as a Sha on Earth.
Moreover, this information was familiar. "Right, I did learn of most of them in my previous explorations. But, I had forgotten them because I lacked enough understanding of such concepts."

"What should I do…" Re'Kha mumbled, "How can I retain all the information I learned here and not forget them when I return to my world?"
As she drove around, Re'Kha noticed some houses located in the wilderness. There was just a small cluster of houses, numbering around 20, followed by vast swathes of lands where crops were grown.
"…Agriculture," The term resounded in her mind. Again, this too was a foreign concept to her. In her world, most of the food resources weren't produced from crops, but from massive trees that were guarded in the settlements and the centre of the cities.
Only when they were that massive were they able to resist the elements and grow. Any small crop planted outside wouldn't survive until harvest time. After all, there were numerous instances of the beasts and animals prowling about. Most of the time, they would destroy any signs of activity on the lands.
It was also the reason they attacked the cities, for, in their minds, the settlements were an act that went against nature. That was why they had never cultivated anything on the vast land that lay outside their cities and settlements.
But here, Re'Kha saw people move about freely over the land and do whatever they wanted without a single sign of threat. Judging by their postures, Re'Kha noted how they were just concerned about their work.
And, there didn't seem to be an enemy that threatened them.
"So, humans here have no threat to their lives. How envious," She sighed as some information related to it resounded in her mind, "On Earth, the only race that poses a threat to humans are fellow humans themselves."
"Such irony," She sighed, "You are all part of one race without any biological difference. But, instead of enjoying in peace, you still wage wars from time to time."

As she looked around her, she laughed, "But still, this world is mostly one of peace. Look, people here have no sense of danger in them."
She then looked at the appearance of her character, "And, the fact that such weak people lead wealthy lives is a sign the world is peaceful."
8:00 PM, Re'Kha arrived at the city of Mysore. She stopped her car at a certain spot and peered through the window, looking at the image of the Mysore Palace, the place she had appeared in her second exploration.
It was the same as in her memories. After a moment of thought, Re'Kha exited her car, locked it, and held the key in her hand. She walked through the place, looking around based on the memory from her second exploration, "There should be someone selling that dish named Chole Bhature around here."
She soon spotted the vendor that sold it, stopping as she gazed at it from afar. She looked at the time on her watch, "It should happen soon."
She then noticed a crying eight-year-old girl walk on the road, having been separated from her parents. The girl stopped before the shop selling the food as she silently shed tears.
"Last time, I found her around this time. And, if nothing else happens, her mother should arrive about now." Re'Kha thought, feeling a headache at the amount of difficulty she faced in locating the girl.
They had been separated two hours ago, and considering the crowd that traversed the place, it was hard finding her. Moreover, the reason she had failed the quest was due to a certain someone that appeared at the scene right before her mother—the character Re'Kha had been playing as back then—could come to her rescue and kidnapped her.
"Just as I expected, she's here." Re'Kha frowned as she made a move, watching a middle-aged lady glance around the girl before noticing that she was really alone. She also ensured to wait for a couple of minutes to judge the time the girl had been alone based on her body language and her lack of energy in crying.
But, before the middle-aged lady could appear to sweet-talk the girl, Re'Kha arrived at the scene, smiling at the girl, "I was searching everywhere for you, Swetha."

The Thaumatist Incident
The towers fell over a century ago, and the Good King united the land. Under his voice the Thaumatists took the knee or took the sword. The University still stands, but for how long? This story is broken up into two parts. Chronologically, the two parts overlap. Part One Emile, a girl with a Talent not seen since the good king's war as she tries to find help to save her beloved father from a cruel accident. Julie, raised in a small farming village on her quest to become someone people will sing about. Part Two Wendel, a recent graduate of the University, an intense school that functions first as a police force to control the use of magic and secondly as an educational institution. Demetrius, a servant at the school who loses his home and his safety. Edits are ongoing. Reviews and comments will only help the editing the process, and I am grateful for any and all input. So, if you have been reading already, Jericho has been removed. It's been brought to my attention that his chapters detract from the flow of the narrative. They still exist, and are still going to be made available at some point in some way shape or form, but for the time being what happens with him and the king in Puissant city will be off camera so to speak.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
