《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.”

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
