《Demon in Lianzhen》Part 2-1 Rin
Advertisement
The sun was busy casting its morning glow on the western ridge of the valley.
The bustle of people starting their day competed with the ever present sound of
cascading water. Rin wasn't used to taking this path to work, but the thought of taking
her usual shortcut sent the hair on the back of her neck standing on end. A street full of
people was the last place she expected to be attacked. Her heart tried to jump out of
her chest when arms wrapped around her. The weight of another body pushing into her
back and a chin resting on her head confused her. This was more a hug than an attack.
"Rin."
"A-a’te Illiesku?"
"Mmm."
Rin let out a sigh of relief. The Oni-Kai had walked her home last night, the only
payment she had wanted was to store a few things of hers. Rin had readily agreed. It
really wasn't enough. Rin opened her mouth to speak, but Illiesku beat her to it.
"Your hair, the scent is pleasant."
"It's ginger."
"Mmmmm."
"Illiesku?" Rin fidgeted in the girl's arms.
"Yes?"
"C-can you let go of me? People are staring."
The weight and arms disappeared. Rin turned around to talk to Illiesku face to
face. The girl was in her usual grey robe. Her hair parted so her right eye was covered
and her left stared at Rin with something between boredom and affection. Rin bowed
deeply.
"In payment for saving my life. Please allow me to treat you to a [day on the
town]."
The Oni-Kai nodded. "If you must."
Well, that was easy. Rin thought.
After ending the bow, she managed to nervously hold still as Illiesku reached
over to touch her left horn. She couldn't actually tell what the girl was doing, just felt the
pressure where her horn attached to her skull.
"You possess attractive horns."
"Um, thank you."
Illiesku smiled. "You are very pretty."
"Um. We, we're going to be late a-and people are st-staring again."
"Mmm," the Oni-Kai retracted her hand. "Yes, we must not be tardy."
Rin's shoulders feel as Illiesku passed her to lead the way. She followed,
wringing her hands together and trying to keep the correct amount of distance between
them.

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here
