Alone
==========
~~~Early 2013~~~
In a lone mansion on the top of the hill , the basement that run down through the mountain , Ryu and his step sister , Sarah , they would venture around the mansion together whenever they are free from their private lecture.
Sarah-"Big brother !! Hurry , Open the door!"
Sarah was really excited to open the giant iron doors that was right infront of them.
Ryu-"But...I don't know... father forbids us to open the doors.."
Sarah tries to persuade her brother as she clings to his arm.
Sarah-"But..but... brother.. father said not to open the door but he never said anything about not going inside"
Ryu rubs his chin with his hand as he thinks , but then convinced as Sarah look at him with her puppy eyes.
Ryu-"Fine... just a peek and no touching! we have to leave right after okay?"
Sarah jumps of joy as she hug her brother.
Sarah-"Yay I love you so much big brother!"
Ryu walk forward to the door and lays his hand onto the iron door.
from his palm , a dark aura spread across the iron door and suddenly disintegrated the door , leaving a dark pathway in the middle.
Sarah-"Wow...it look like big brother melted the door hehehe"
Ryu held Sarah hand and move through the hole as he release the dark aura from his palm.
Ryu-"Hurry Sarah , the path won't be open for long"
As Ryu and Sarah walk through the door , they saw a white grass field covered with a thick fog as they stood on a higher ground ontop of a stairway.
Sarah-"Wah...so scary.."
Sarah held on Ryu's arm tightly as she look down on the white field.
With no source of light reaching the scene , Ryu began to analyze the surrounding.
Ryu-"*That must be... a Blith fog... that means ...*Pearl grass!"

Sarah looked at her brother and she asked
Sarah-"Pearl grass? Big brother , is that really it?"
Ryu nodded and turns around
Ryu-"Mhmmm , but sadly , we have to leave now before somethi-"
Footsteps could be heard
Ryu turn around and sees his little sister running down the steps.
Ryu quickly dashes to Sarah as she ran and caught her immediately.
Ryu-"Sarah , what are you doing?! It's dangerous , we have to go back , now"
Sarah turns her head and said with a puppy eyes
Sarah-"But.. big brother , mother will be happy if we get her some beautiful pearl grass"
After a times of convincing , Ryu told agreed but he told Sarah to wait for him on the top of the stairway.
Sarah-"Take lots and lots big brother!"
While Sarah was cheering for her big brother , Ryu was walking slowly down the steps as he was being cautious to the unknown surrounding.
Step step
Ryu-"Hmmm... I don't like this place... too quiet ... even for a ruin"
Upon reaching the ground , he notice another door far away , but without caring , Ryu quickly grab some white grass and ran back up the hill.
After making a hole through the door , Ryu and Sarah left the ruin , the hole then disappeared , leaving no hint of trace on the iron door.
Ryu pats his sister head and gave her the grass
Ryu-"Here Sarah , you give them to mother yourself , she will be very pleased"
As Sarah held his arm she looked at him , hesitating to take the grass she asked.
Sarah-"But...what about big brother?We can always split in half or say we got it together.."
Ryu shook his head and smiled.
~~~Nest~~~
Nael-"Mens , get him!"
Twitch
With a slight movement of his finger , Ryu let out out a chained dagger that swim through the eye socket of the skulls , wrapping it around , the skull flew onto his hand.

Ryu-"*Keke , Demons and now humans , they better show me some good magic*"
One of the 10 soldier who surrounded him with a half circle formation charged toward him
Soldier-"Yahhhhh!"
The soldier lift his sword as he run toward Ryu
Ryu was holding the skull on his left hand and with a flick of his right hand finger
Pierce
The dagger flew into the leg of the soldier , causing him to tumble onto the ground and the remaining soldier quickly charged together in group this times.
Ryu-"*Eh...I guess not everyone use magic*"
Flicks
Lucy-"Stop!-"
Lucy loud shout echoed through the nest and the 9 remaining soldier immediately halted their charge with the tip og the chained daggers poking their neck.
Soldier-"....sh*t.."
Ryu looks at Lucy from head to toes.
Ryu-"*She can see my daggers? Oh well I only used abit of my Ki*"
The old man Nael ran behind Lucy as he tries to remain calm.
Nael-"Co..commander Lucy..do something about this thief!"
Lucy walks toward the frozen soldiers who couldn't move because their life was in the line , as she reach Ryu , she took out a golden looking circle badge with a drawing on it.
Lucy-"I am Lucy Frezlia, 4th of the 16 royal commanders , I want to apologize for their rudeness and for calling you a thief"
Lucy tilted her head slightly forward as she spoke.
Ryu-"*Hmm...that expression.. she had a rough childhood like me*"
Ryu recalled his chained daggers and disappeared into his sleeves.
Ryu-"Hmmp , I don't care who you are , next times if you bother me , I will reward you with death"
As Ryu walk past Lucy , he glanced at Nael
Kallia-"Commander Lucy..."
Lucy turned around and as soon she was about to say something
Ryu stops and said
Ryu-"My name is Ryu"
Lucy-"Ryu...?"
After saying his name , Ryu walks toward the exit tunnel.
Right after Ryu left , Kallia went beside Lucy and said
Kallia-"Commander Lucy... what about the skull?"
Lucy-"Kallia , I don't think I will manage to come out alive if we fought against him"
Kallia and Nael were surprised that Lucy , known as the thunder bolt spear was not confident even with the help of Kallia and Nael.
Lucy-"Such a mysterious man....I couldn't even sense his power..."
Nael gulped and said
Nael-"He is stronger than a master fighter...?"
Lucy nodded as they look toward the tunnel they came from.
Kallia-"Commander Lucy! This is bad!"
Lucy looked at Kallia and realized
Nael-"W..What's wrong?"
Kallia-"Th...the army we left with commander Wil is still outside the nest......"
Lucy immediately ran toward the tunnel followed by Kallia.
Ryu-"Ah , I am in a bad mood now.."
Said Ryu as he walk in the tunnel

Almave
Welcome to AlmaVé. First thing you have to know is that it's a tragedy. Nope, not talking about my book yet. It's a tragedy that you're reading this instead of clicking on chapter 1. I did fail speech introductions after all. My story? Right that's what you're here for. My bad, try this: Lilia Hammond is reborn (cliché, but we all know we enjoy it when it's done for a purpose) as Syndra Sanmey. She was a graphic designer who hadn't caught her break yet. She was paralyzed for months before she was offered the opportunity to join a program that would allow her to-NOPE! not virtual reality. The doctors killed her and dumped her body. Tough. In her new world, Lilia has to fight herself to find out who she truly is. With the possibility to cast magic and a second chance at life, Lilia thinks she can really make something for herself. Her goal? Become the greatest artist the world had ever seen. The rub? World is a bit darker than anything she saw on earth. Thankfully, Lilia is getting quite familiar with the darkness inside her and her magic might just be the thing to save the-hey! wait it's not that kind of book. No saving the world. No hero syndrome. Just magic and blood and a bit of crafting. Yup. Fighting. Romance? Eh? What's that? The first arc is Lilia's shift from Earth to creating backstories for the three major characters. It's not funny and light. It's often dark and funny. Ah, I really should have gone through a punk-rock phase. Or goth. Would I look good with black hair? Hmm.. There are three MCs and they are Jackson, Daryl, and Lilia/Syndra. Daryl is currently kidnapped and Jackson just awakened his magic. I don't want to spoil (much) but soon things will be very fun to write. Hope to see you there! Leave a comment even if you're just stopping by so I can say hey! Chapters to be published twice weekly. Check tags before reading.
8 78Bells and Taxes
The territory of Palmetto, ragged and mean, was once the banishing lands for the kings of the Old World. In that sea of hills they exiled their enemies, their upstarts, the deposed tyrants and rebels who came too close. Ancient prisons emptied their depths into Palmetto. Persecuted tribes fled to the refuge of its hideaway valleys. After a century and some, the land of Palmetto had evolved into a patchwork of flimsy feudalism, cult compounds, and grift economies. The merchant princes, having built some gleam of stability, reached out to the Old World's new kings for help in raising the orderly sword of bureaucracy. The event known as the Papercut Revolution closed the First Era. The new dawn rose on The Directory, who took the yoke of power into their responsible hands and began to bring forth their Good Era.
