《A Wolf's Way》Scheming in silence

Three's POV
Three sighed the boy opposite him, Gale stared at him with a shocked look on his face. "What about my lessons?!?! How am I meant to get stronger if I'm not at school?!?!" Three seemed to grow annoyed at Gale's apparently childish display. "There is no other choice, you and your fellow apprentices being here is a danger to the other students!"
Of course in actuality Three didn't care how many students were injured, or even killed, they were nothing to do with him. The three apprentices, his top three suspects at that, disappearing back home, did however interfere with his plan to find out if any of them had ties to Mervyn's murder.
Unfortunately the order to send the students home came from the Emperor himself. After all, keeping up appearances was important and by "protecting" the students the Emperor was creating a very good show indeed. Gale looked downcast for a moment before turning to face Three with a trembling expression.
"What happens next year? Will the school still be open?" Three sighed irritably. "I don't know. It'll all work out somehow, for now you need to focus on packing. You must be gone by tomorrow lunch." Gale nodded thoughtfully though still retaining his troubled expression. "Will we be safe at home?"
Three resisted the urge to scream "Of course not!" at Gale and just about managed to stay silent. He was an assassin, not a baby sitter and although he was interested in finding Mervyn's killer he had no real interest in the children he taught.
Looking at the injured boy once more he sighed and decided to ask a question. "Gale, did you by any chance see what attacked you before it ran?" Gale paused for a minute thinking back "It was a large silver snake I think." Three nodded, happier, upon getting a concrete description, of course this didn't mean he'd trust it entirely but it was good to have as a reference.

Getting up from his seat, Three turned his back on the boy. "I need to leave, I wish you luck." Gale nodded and lay back on the bed sinking into exhaustion. As Three shut the door behind him, he unfortunately missed the bloodthirsty grin on the boys face, if he'd seen it maybe things would have turned out better....maybe.
Lupos' POV
Seeing the door close behind Three, Lupos let out a grin. Of course Lupos had never been bitten by a snake, but was in fact stabbed by a dagger. However the small wound, paired with the deadly poison on the dagger, as well as Lupos' own "struggle" to overcome the poison helped create the strong impression of a snake.
The fact that the spies had probably figured out that Mervyn was poisoned when he died, helped to enforce the idea of the suspect not just targeting Mervyn but also his apprentices. Lupos smiled, leaving tomorrow was another unexpected bonus as it meant he had an excuse for leaving at the same time as Wing without it looking suspicious.
Lupos grinned and used mindspeak to contact Fenrir "Fenrir did you pass the plan to Akari?" Fenrir let out a small laugh. "Of course, she sent a reply as well." Lupos smiled. "Ok then, bring the reply here. It's time to start preparing." Lupos smiled, things were finally started to come together. Or so it seemed.
Emperor's POV
The Emperor sat on a golden throne, waiting patiently, until a man dressed in black stalked out from within the shadows. "Emperor." said the figure falling onto one knee. "Rise," stated the Emperor, impatient to get the formalities over with. "What did you learn about Mervyn's death?"
The figure hesitated. "Speak clearly Three, don't test my patience." Three nodded. "As you wish. There has been no news on the assailants themselves and even numbers Five and Seven have had no luck during their search through the darker side of society. There is however news of a different kind........."

The Emperor nodded encouragingly. "What is it?!?!" Three pointed behind the Emperor towards an old mam skulking towards the throne. "He was right." The old man trembled with fear, while the Emperor stared at Three in confusion." What do you mean?"
An uneasy air appeared around Three had appeared. "What he saw at the inter schools competition, Fenrir has returned. And, the child who summoned him was Mervyn's apprentice."

Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!

In Z Finite
This is the story of Zarco, a young guy with a magic stone and not much else, and Caelum, a wingless "angel". "Caelum-That's stupid... Zarco-Eh, it is..." Ahem, anyway, a lot of action & adventure awaits them, as they are forced together on a journey in search of some magic stones of legendary power. "Zarco-Liar! We're currently doing a lot more of "trying to survive" than rock picking around here! Caelum-Yeah, that is pretty misleading." Ok, screw this, I am out, if nobody read this story it will be your fault. "Zarco-The hell are you talking about, you're the one who wrote this... Caelum-Since our writer is unreliable, I will finish this. This story at its core is just a fun rump, focused on action, adventure, and a lot of comedic dialogue and exchanges. If you had at least a chuckle reading this then you will probably enjoy the story. Zarco-Yo, thanks for reading till this point, we will meet again at the pages."
