《Kindred》Chapter 20 – Miss, Don’t Ask For the Impossible, Please!
Advertisement
But… Somehow I’m certain that it’s not Water.
If it’s not Water… then what?
In fact, I’m certain it’s not liquid nor gas.
It’s… solid.
Is my element Earth? No…
Similar to Earth element, but more specific…
I feel as if small grains are flowing through my veins. Flowing with the blood in harmony.
Small no, not small. Tiny. Tiny grains in large numbers.
Is it… Sand?
As I made my guess, I open my eye and see sand flowing around my hands.
“Awuu!” I really am a Cultivator! And with a rare element!
“You did it, Latifa!” Miss exclaims with a big smile on her face.
I look at the sand coiling around my hands like a snake.
It is pretty. It’s as if the sand is sparkling.
Sooo…… How do I stop this?…
I try to cancel, stop, return the sand back, but without a success.
“Awu? Awu!” I start panicking.
“It’s okay, don’t panic. If you are unable to cancel it, just release it.” Miss says to me.
Release? How do I release it?! Miss, don’t ask for the impossible, please!
I shake my hands trying to get rid of the sand.
Shake, shake.
Nothing is happening, the sand keeps floating around my hands as if refusing to disappear.
What to do?… Go away, please… Y- you are scaring me…
“Awuu… Aa-aawuuu…” I start crying.
Miss, I’m scared. It won’t go away.
Miss grabs my hand and points it towards the window.
She then closes her eyes and concentrates.
Miss, what are you doing?
Then, I feel a hot substance entering my body through my hand.
Crackle.
My hand suddenly starts burning in black flames, but it’s not hot.
Are these Miss’s flames?
The black flames push forward towards my fingertips.
I can feel my hands getting warmer and warmer.

Then, once their reach the fingertips.
Booom!
“Awuu!” I cry in surprise.
The window shatters and half of the courtyard become covered in sand and glass.
“Awwwuuu?!” I look at the scene in amazement.
“Fuuu~” Miss lets out a long sigh.
“See? It’s not scary anymore.” She says while smiling.
Bang!
The door quickly opens and Sophia runs in.
“Miss, are you alright?!” She looks worried to death.
Uhh… I made Sophia so worried about Miss. I’m a failure of a maid…
“It’s okay. Moreover, look.” Miss says while pointing at a small ring on my left pinky.
Ring on my pinky? How did it get there?…
“That’s… Mark of the Element?!” Sophia shouts in bewilderment.
Mark of the Element? What’s that? If it can make Sophia shout like that… Is it dangerous?
“A- awuu?” I ask worriedly. A- am I in danger?
“Ah, I’m sorry, Latifa. I must have startled you.” Sophia apologizes to me.
No, no, no. I shake my head.
But, am I going to be okay?
“Mark of the Element appears only on those who were chosen by the element itself.” She explains.
Chosen by the element? How is that possible?
And if that’s possible why Sand? What could Sand possibly see in me?…
“Latifa, you still don’t understand how rare Mark of the Element is. Owners of the Mark of the Element in Quas Empire can be counted on one hand.” Sophia adds after seeing me gloss over it.
“Oh? So, only a few people have that?” Miss says while playing with a black necklace.
A black necklace..? Since when did Miss start wearing a necklace- Eh?! Miss has it too?!
Eh?! Miss has it too?!
“Eh…? Miss… Is that?…” Sophia asks Miss.
“Ah, this?” Miss says while tugging on the black necklace.
“Yeah, it’s what you think it is.” Miss says indifferently.
“Ahh… I think I’m having a headache…” Sophia says while holding her forehead.
I caught a glimpse of Sophia’s blue bracelet when she raised her hand to her forehead.

The Book of Rune
If you like moderately well-researched semi-medieval military logistics with some fantasy twists, and also conspiracy, and exploration, and violence, and maybe a dash of road movie, hey, Ruen just might be your thing. Plot-wise, basically there's a guy who got fired by Death, a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and a slave general who wouldn't mind retiring but ended up on a mass suicide mission. If you were looking for a less TL;DR version, a guy who got fired by Death meets a kid with pyrotechnic tendencies, and they try to get the guy un-fired while also trying to come to terms with death together (ooohhhh, look, I'm deep). Meanwhile a slave general does something stupid and ends up being sent on a suicide mission, and he tries to wreak havoc and save lives at the same time. The threads come together, I swear. This is a rough draft of a fantasy semi-book that I've had in the back of my head for some time. I've written a variety of short stories set in the world over the past three years, and I finally kicked myself into writing the actual story. Very much a slow work in progress. Occasional violence (okay, well, maybe more than occasional), occasional foul language.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
