《Written In Stone》Carson ~ Chapter 8: The assassin
Advertisement
I woke up to the sound of screaming. I cast off the covers not feeling tired at all, as if I haven't even slept. I pulled on the boots and chain mail as fast as I could then while running tied my sword belt and slipped on the ring that the mage had given me last night. I then followed the screams till I came to the source, the queen and her servants. I got a glance of what they were screaming about the king was lying in a puddle of blood with a knife of adamantite in his back. I quickly tried to make a fireball to provide some light and all I got was a little pop and some smoke. ‘That's weird’ I thought, the mage said it would make my control of my powers stronger, then i thought what if the mage didn't want me to have control of my powers maybe the ring makes it so i can’t use them, then it it all came back the mage asking for a private meeting, then he must have stabbed the king and then gave me the ring so i couldn't fight him if i ended come to the realization of the fact that he killed the king. Then I threw off the ring and made a fireball so to better see the king around the knife was a patch of charred skin. I told one of the servants to get the queen to safety while me and my friends investigated. I ran to my friends rooms then as I neared the corner I ran straight into Skylar. “Skylar the kings been murdered, and I think I know who did it” I said then she beat on the others doors as I unsheathed my sword. Within minutes we were ready to fight. “Let's check out the barracks first” i said when we got there the barracks were on fire. “I knew it he made us all rings so we couldnt fight him because he knew if he burned down the barracks we would be the only ones able to fight him.” “So get the rings off and call your animals, because we're gonna fight him.”

The life of a teenage hellworlder
We've all heard of the trope that Earth is a deadly planet by galactic standard; and has thus honed humanity into a ruthless species bent on surviving at all costs. As it turns out, that trope is true. Sapient species that evolve on safe planets develop to be peaceful and compassionate - and the ones that do on dangerous ones become violent and selfish out of need - usually wiping themselves out. But obviously, not every violent species drives itself to extinction - resulting in them being feared and ostracized - including humans. The life of a teenage hellworlder is a sci-fi slice of life story that revolves mainly around Thomas, a sixteen-year-old New Britannian attending a Xeno high school, who befriends a lonely apex predator named Javqua. Getting written by two amateur teen writers, things may sometimes be inconsistent or be confusing - feel free to comment and point out these problems. Gore, profanity, and traumatizing content tags are only for minor events in the story and do not happen often. Chapters are around 1k - 2k words - pretty short, but that's because we're all busy with our own lives and school. Trust us - we would gladly upload 5k word chapters if we could. We tend to upload new chapters every Saturday or Sunday. Please consider supporting us on Patreon!

Jared was convicted of killing three security guards and stealing over two hundred million dollars worth of high security information.

He was found guilty and sentenced to death, which would be done with in 48 hours.

He was being sacraficed as part of the new accords with a alien alliance that had yet to be made public. In truth the person that set him up was actually the woman he loved and the friend he had trusted the most. Neither really cared about him, but he didn't know that and thus fell in to there trap. The fact that he was going to be exicuted so quickly and was tried in a terrorist court stil hadn't really registered with him.

Placed on the northern hemisphere the Sea of Ember is a world of ice and stone, a land of fire and storms.Uncanny tempests sweep across the rocky terrain, rising and spreading ashes from dozens of active volcanoes disseminated everywhere in the continent.However, during winter, sudden snowstorms, almost as lethal as the rivers of magma scorching this plagued realm, turn the land into a literal hell.That's when Lithoniel's journey begins, during the last weeks of Spring.It should have been a hunting expedition, a short trip not far from the tribe's territory.Yet, when the Nightstalker, the tribe's chief hunter, decides to bring them in an unexplored area of the Asp ridge, Lithoniel has to decide if she can be something different from the outcast she had been for all her life.But can a fledgling hunter, an outsider in her own tribe be a leader? Warning: The grimdark tag is there for a reason. This is a dark tale and the author is a sadist. (which inevitably means that the characters are masochists. Well, it's not like they have a choice.)

8 128The Ingress of Dreams
It starts with a hypothesis on the Internet that a dream hundreds of thousands of people around the world report having is actually a shared dream. Details noticed in one person's dream are found to be independently verifiable in another. Once you enter The Dream, you stop having normal dreams. Night after night you fall asleep and reenter the same dreamworld you left, a corresponding amount of time having passed in it as well. With each day and night that passes, the number of people roped into this phenomenon increases until very quickly most of the world's population are sharing this second life in their sleep. This dreamscape quickly develops its own rules, nations, dangers and wars, and fundamentally changes everything about humanity's waking and dream lives.
