《(Old) Legion, God of Monsters》Prologue 2 - Awareness
Advertisement
The small girl looked at the scene around her in confusion. Directly in front of her sat a pristine, pale corpse drained of blood, laying in the center of a glowing red pentagram. The dead man had a bandana on his head which covered his hair, two axes tied on either side of his waist and a grizzly beard. Her eyes were drawn to the two punctures on his neck and, as she watched, a single drop of blood oozed out of the wound and began to trickle down the man’s neck. She tasted blood in her mouth as she slowly ran her tongue over her teeth. It was delicious! She paused as she felt two particularly sharp teeth spaced about the same distance apart as the two punctures on the man’s neck.
A breeze ruffled the girls long, black hair. She knew that the breeze was supposed to be cold but she didn’t understand what that meant. She continued her search and found that directly behind her and on her right side were four more bodies. These ones looked a little different from the one in the circle.
First, their bodies were not in pristine condition. They looked like they had been attacked by some kind of feral beast. A man wearing heavy-looking metal armor was missing his left arm and had a huge hole in his chest which was still oozing blood. A young girl with blood-stained white robes lay on the ground next to him, a look of pure terror frozen on her face. Her neck was twisted at a very odd angle. The other two were facedown on the ground several feet away and their bodies were facing the opposite direction. One of them had a big metal disc with an arm attached sticking out of his back and the other guy’s head was on the ground several feet further down the road. The headless guy had a bow in his hands and the guy with a disc in his back wore leather armor and had a dagger resting under the palm of his right hand.

Second, while this fact was rapidly changing for some of them, for the most part, they all still had their blood… a detail that was both somehow regrettable and welcome at the same time to the girl as she licked her lips and caught the lingering taste of blood once more. She shivered in anticipation.
The girl was standing atop the tallest hill in the area. She could see miles of rolling hills in every direction and to the north-east, she could see walls with small lights walking back and forth atop them. She looked up into the night sky and saw three circles dominating the horizon. The leftmost circle was blood red, the rightmost a clear and almost translucent blue while the center was pitch black and only noticeable because it blocked out the stars. Three full moons. She felt enchanted by their eerie glow and a strange yearning to move closer to them filled her body and soul.
She took a step forward and stopped as she felt the air around her begin to hum. She glanced around and saw that the glowing pentagram was becoming brighter. Light began to rise up from the center, tearing apart and consuming the bloodless man’s body and, after a brief pause, she felt the hill begin to shake slightly. All three moons glowed more intensely and a breeze ruffled her hair again. She caught a loose strand and saw that her dark hair had begun to glow as well. She watched as the black slowly gave way to a silvery platinum. She could only look on in amazement and bewilderment as the lights from the pentagram and the three moons filled her body.

Courier
Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.

Sage Fall
Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!
