Chapter 33
==========
[The Master]
“Fucking useless, why am I surrounded by incompetent oafs.” The master shouted, startling the other members of the meeting. They said nothing however, subservient should not interrupt the master, speak when spoken too and never interject your opinion. That was the rule for surviving the master and those who didn’t learn it didn’t last long.
“Friar, I want you to make sure you’re heading to Littlebrook when the church sends their delegates. Herald, work with friar to forge the necessary seals to make it happen. Friar, contact me once you’re there, I’ll have work for you.”
“Yes master.” The friar replied taking his leave.
“Herald?”
“Yes master” Herald relplied.
“Good work, with Lady Eloith, the beginning of war looms on the horizon. But we have more work to do. The Garthian alliance is a collection of weak minded fools and a letter in the right place can help it tumble down. I need you to make a seal for the House Baralise to stamp upon the letter. The arrangement will be the same as last time. Do a good job and I shall reward you.”
“Yes master. It shall be done. I will not disappoint you master.” Herald replied backing out of the meeting and collapsing his spell.
The master allowed the frown to fall from his face and a smile bubbled forth. Things were going to plan. Yes, those idiot mercenaries had failed. But they were bandits for a reason and competence and intelligence were not the reasons. Still they had their uses, limited as they may be.
Something was up with this dungeon; a simple dungeon should not have been able to stop his forces. Especially one so new. He needed more information.
“Contact the squire, I need him.”

“Yes master.” His assistant replied, cowering in fear. What a snivelling coward the master thought to himself. He was going to kill the man soon; he couldn’t stand his stink. Cowardice and morals stank to high heaven and the master couldn’t tolerate it.
*** 1 day later ***
“Master” the squire spoke, bowing low to the ground.
“Squire, I have a task for you.”
“yes master?” The squire responded eagerly. The man was a sycophant to the highest degree, it was what made him so useful to the master, he had been the squire for ears now and though the master found it disgusting, it was useful.
“A new dungeon has been discovered, in the Avaltjarn. I think it is time the prince went delving. When the guild starts up there, I want the prince to visit and you must find out everything you can about the dungeon. Can you do that squire?”
“Of course, master, only yesterday the prince was complaining about being bored. It shall be easy to suggest such a course to him, he has always fancied himself an adventurer. The chance to challenge a new dungeon shall be most enticing.”
“Squire?” The master asked, keeping his tone light.
“Yes master?”
“Shut up!”
“…”
“Do your job and shut up! I do not care about the prince. Just do the job and don’t fail me! You know the consequences of failure all too well, are you eager to relearn the lesson.”
“No master.” The squire replied, fear making his words stick and he stuttered in response.
“Good, you may go.”
“Yes master”
Squire left and master smiled again. Yes, he could see it now. His plans were well on the way.

The Caring Dungeon
NOTE: I, as an 'author' am on a(n) (indefinite?) Hiatus. Without getting into too many details, the person who convinced me to write, who was my muse and my everything, is no longer in my life. I think about writing and I get physically ill and ache in ways that transcend the physical. I want to want to write, but I cannot find the energy. Life events, combined with apparently thin-skin when it comes to personal attacks on this platform, make it impossible for me. The messages, comments, and reviews I recieve(d) were so detrimental to my mental health that I've already removed one story from this website. This one remains up only because the criticisms located in this work are about my writing, and not personal attacks.I just felt like I should put something out there for anyone who is thinking about starting this story. It is not completed. I don't know that it ever will be at this point. I have lost my muse.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Not everything in this world is natural, and it's only natural to fear the unnatural. Fortunately for Manning, he was natural. Unfortunately, he found himself to be in a very unnatural state. Manning was trapped inside of a gemstone, called a dungeon core. Luckily for Manning, he found himself capable of using his newly found unnatural power to make a nature filled forest. With the help of Cara, his unnatural roommate, and Ash, his nature spirit companion, Manning dreams of covering the continent with the most beautiful and dangerous forest it has ever seen. His only other goals are to protect himself and Cara, and if he could ever remember, recover his memories. This is my first time attempting to write anything. Updates whenever I can find the energy and desire to write.

Three hundred years ago multiple meteors broke into earth's atmosphere and landed in various places. The meteors change the world. By releasing strange substances into the earth, air, and water the planet started to change. It was not until ten years later that the first batch of superhumans was born. They had abilities that could not be explained. Superspeed. Superstrength. Magic. The superhumans showed the world that all of it was possible. They called the abilities EXO and the people who wielded such an ability, EXO users. They quickly found out that not every EXO was the same. One EXO user had one EXO ability and what that ability was could be categorized into one of three types. Offensive, Defensive or Support. The government was the first to act after five years. Every EXO user must be subjected to whole new laws and they must get their abilities under control. Specialized schools were built all across the world that were made to train them. Under the pretense of saying it was to develop their abilities, the government was actually building an army. Humans were not the only ones to change…

Live by the Sword
--Follow a bandit prone to making poor choices in life. He lives in a somewhat medieval age where steel is king, blood is shed fairly lightly, and weakness gets you punished fast. But that's okay. As long as he has his sword, he'll be fine. Right? --This story is tragic and contains some depictions of violence and nudity. The attitudes of the characters don't represent my views and some of them are highly questionable. Due to these reasons, I've flagged the story as adult content. --I've been working on Live by the Sword since as far back as 2012 and it is my first actual effort at completing a book. Maybe I'll stick with it and there will be paperbacks of it some day. Who knows. Either way, I hope the words I tell give you amusement and perhaps some cause to think. Cheers.
