《That Boy Hare [On Hiatus]》Chapter 25

Vultures. They're vile creatures; they signal death, carnage, and, worst of all, gossip. Three such ingrates were discussing the recent fight between Bo and the chicks.
'Six against one? And the leveret beat them all?'
'Yes. I heard he was being experimented on by the Great Fox.'
'I see...His Time must be arriving soon.'
'Oho! He's pushed it back nearly a century. What's changed?'
'The Experiment, of course. I heard it nearly drained him!'
'Perhaps...'
The three cackled and flew off to tell their wretched brethren what they discovered. The Great Fox's Time was coming. And with it came the Change.
Blood. The sickly sweet smell, the irony taste, the warm, sticky feeling.
Bo wasn't a stranger to blood. He'd fought many things during his adventures; the beasts brought the fight to him and he never turned down experience.
But never before had he seen so much...blood.
The bullies were gone; he'd beaten them black and blue. Now he sat with Lima Bean, watching Michi slowly, very slowly heal Twig. It didn't look good.
Eventually, he let Lima Bean guide him back to the burrow where she tried to distract him with little sparks of mana. But his mind stayed on Twig's battered body.
'Lima Bean,' he said quietly, 'do you think she's gonna get better?'
She paused, looked at him sadly, and then shrugged helplessly. 'I don't know, Bo.'
'Michi's super good at healing, though, right? So won't he be able to fix Twig?'
'Well...he couldn't fix my eyes...'
'But that's because the griffin did something super bad to them, right?'
She shrugged again. 'Maybe.'
'But-'
'I don't know, Bo, any better than you do. Let's just...wait and see, alright?'
Bo didn't want to wait. He wanted results now. He wanted to help! But if Michi couldn't do anything...what could he accomplish? He was a bad best friend. He'd let those chicks hurt Twig while he just stood there. He should've protected her better. He should've done something before they got to her.

Defeated and depressed, he hid beneath the furs in shame.
Lima Bean couldn't get Bo to come out no matter how much coaxing she did, so she gave up and went back up to the surface.
She squinted hard at the surrounding area and saw a small shape being flanked by similarly small shapes up in the falcon clan's nest tree. A black blob was resting beneath its branches.
'Fox?' she called.
'Oh. It's you. Can you tell Bo that Twig's fine now? She won't be able to play for a little while longer, but he can still see her.'
'But...her wounds...'
The old fox laughed. 'Those pesky things? Sure, it took a bit of time, but they were nothing at all compared to my [Mend: Wounds] level! Not even your eyes could withstand it!'
Lima Bean frowned. 'So then why couldn't you heal them?'
'Er...well, you see, griffins have curses on their talons. [Mend: Wounds] can't fix that. So, you know, you're gonna be stuck like that for a while...'
'...You're lying, aren't you?'
The fox jumped up. 'What? Griffin curses are powerful, mouse! You would know nothing of the sort!'
'Oh? Aren't you supposed to be level 256,476?'
'Quiet, mouse! Even I have limits! If you're here to argue, scat!'
'Fine. I'll just go and find some lima beans-'
'Actually,' the fox interjected, snatching her up by the tail with surprising speed. 'We have more training to do.'
'What? But we just trained like...an hour ago!'
'Not good enough! We have to get you ready!'
Lima Bean squirmed in his iron tight grasp. 'Just give me thirty minutes!'
'No!'
'B-but I need my beans!'
'You've done just fine without them!'
'I'll do better if I have them in my system! Fox, you can't do this to me! This-this is cruel and unusual punishment!'
'Hush up and start focusing on sensing mana again...'
Groaning, Lima Bean did as she was told.

The Divine Works
The world was prophesied to end at 2012, on December 12th. It did, in a way, just not the way people thought. On December 12th, when the clocks read 12 all the way across, a new God appeared and demanded the world submit to him. Many years later, the world has changed into what he designed it, with people who are loyal to him and live in the peace he has created. His children and grandchildren create the pantheon.However, none is more feared that his Grandson Aleksandor, the God of Madness. Who's task given to him upon reaching adulthood was to punish the sinners in hopes they may repent and one day be reborn so they may try again for a better life. All his divine life, Aleksandor has known the bitter cold of hate and fear. No mortal prays to him, the evil God. They all, no matter the person, completely shun him. Until Alyson is born. Her life has not been an easy one. Not many know that her birthday coincides on that of the ""Evil"" Gods. Not may know that he has blessed her with a gift. Her parents have done everything they can to make her forsake this God, but nothing has worked. As her marriage day draws near, and the insanity that is her family gets worse, she turns to the one God she knows can hear her prayers, and will answer. But her wish comes with a price. Will it be able to save not only her, but the ""Evil"" God as well, or will they all down spiral into madness?
8 171Death... and me
Rean Faran had never been anything special. Born into a regular family, with ordinary parents, ordinary siblings, etc. He pretty much had a going-with-the-flow life. If there is something different about him, it is the fact that he doesn't care about anything. But it is during his last moments that he feels unwilling for the first time in his life. Unfortunately, it was too late... or so he thought. Later, the Death appears in the morgue to send his Soul into the Path of Reincarnation. But Rean... has other plans!
8 159Empath Magi
Magic is real. And Brand is about to get an unwilling crash course on what it can do. Thrust away from his planet to another unknown, he must quickly adapt to his unique gift if he wants to survive. Emotion magic is rare and unstudied, and nothing like he would have expected. But it is all he has when he finds himself waking up in a lifeless land with nothing but the clothes on his back. The only chance at keeping himself alive is trusting the words of a mysterious stranger. And the world continues to turn, ignorant of his place within it. Age old myths and buried dangers threaten to rear their heads once again. Machinations millennia old are beginning to bear fruition. With each turning era the world’s future becomes darker. A godless land cannot survive on its own.
8 131The Make-Up Game. | larry stylinson
"Go on Lou, just give it a go." ; in other words, Louis' older sister Jade dared him to put on make up and Louis ends up loving it._Larry Stylinson_•I do just wanna day that this book isn't short. When I say that I mean the chapters are long and things don't happen straight away. When writing this book, I wanted to develop the characters before jumping straight in to relationships and drama. I tried to make it as realistic as I could (I was young when I started this book). Just please give it a chance as I'm really proud of this book and really enjoy writing it!!
