- Hello?
- Hum h-hello, Nathan?
- Ah Patience, thanks for calling.
- Yes well, I certainly.. owe you that much f-for saving my life, al-although Im m not s-sure what you… expect me to…
- I talked to the others and I know there are more of those things out there.
- Those, uh th-things you say?
- You know what I mean. The Eaters? Your flesh eating kidnapers?
- Enough!
- …
- Sorry, habit. Hmm. Ass-ssuming you are.. right, what do you expect me to do exactly? Im… just a nurse.
- Just a nurse huh? By the way I talked to Sarah recently, she said that the doctors are all dazzled by her incredible recovery. They say she should have bled to death before she reached help, and that when I talked to her in the ER she should have been deeply asleep. They were amazed. A real miracle. You wouldn’t know anything about that would you?
- Do not talk about miracles s-so lightly. Faith can d-do a… lot.
- Ah yes, but here faith had a helping hand. Have you noticed anything unusual about you recently? Related to your care of patients.
- . I.. Huh. I d…dont know where you are going with this.
- Where Im going is that there are other eaters out there and they need to be stopped. I’m trying to get a group together. If you can do what I believe you can do you would be a huge help to us.
- I appreciate what you are doing, Mr Nathan, I truly do, but I have a husband and five kids and more patients than I can shake a stick at and I will not drop all of this to go hunting demons with you. I am not a warrior.

- I should have worked on my pitch, I assumed that it would be easy to convince you guys.
- You c… You called Seren too?
- Yes she rejected my offer.
- I am s-sorry Mr Nathan but I c… really can’t… help you. My husband threw a f-fit when he opened your package. I am still trying to ca- to calm him down, he thinks I’m in trouble.
- Maybe he should learn boundaries, that package had your name on it, not his.
- I d’… I dont appreciate your lessons.
- Ok fine, whatever. Just remember that the eaters kidnapped you on purpose and there are still other out there. You do your things and keep this phone at hand for when they come back, ok? Because they will
- I… Yes. I will. Im sorry… Nathan. I can see you really want to help. I will pray for you, but I’m sure the police will protect us if those… Things… come back.
- We both know they are not equipped to protect you against that. Keep the phone at hand. Goodbye Patience.
- Wait! Are they.. Are those things demons?
- Not in the way you mean. If you change your mind you know how to reach me.

Alive?
In the ruins of a once glorious city, a mage awakens. As the sole survivor(?) of the cataclysm that destroyed his entire species, he’s forced to adapt. While learning the intricacies of his new body, he must first carve out a place for himself in a familiar yet foreign world before he can set out to reclaim his heritage. I cannot stress this enough: the character is not human, do not expect him to react like one. I know the hand on the cover only has five finger, but I doubt I am going to find a royalty free radiography with two perfectly functional thumbs placed in a sensible way anytime soon. The rewrite is finished. Beta readers are welcomed and I am still wondering whether I should put the sci-fi tag or not.

The Beauty Of The End
William was abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him. He is forced into a life of crime, stealing just to feed his mother and himself. But that changes when he's given an opportunity to turn over a new leaf in a world of magic, war and tragedy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beauty Of The End takes place in a fantasy medieval world where magic exists in multiple forms. William is a boy abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him, and at a young age is forced into crime just to feed the both of them. But one day he is visited by a knight order who tell him he has potential for magic. Listening to their words, he leaves to start a new life and train to become a mage like them. The Beauty Of The End updates every day and I'm hoping to push out 100+ chapters consisting off, at the minimum, five arcs. Sometimes there might be double uploads to make up for a break I might've taken. I have most of the story planned out in my head and am just writing down where I think the story should go. I have planned up to arc 2 and maybe some ideas for 3, but that's about it. Thoughts and criticism are appreciated, there's obviously going to be grammar and maybe spelling mistakes that'll I'll try to spot and fix. I might occasionally post chapters that explain certain parts of the world, e.g. lore, countries, organizations, species, magic etc.
