《Priestess Of The Land》Lan's Demise Part 2
Advertisement
Sensing the arrival of more people, Crei walked back to Tria's side while he was reversing his powers. Lan, who was puddled on the ground, still had some life left in his body, as he was begging him to end his life; with the state he was in, he should have already died. What he didn't know was that Tria was subtly keeping him alive longer using her abilities. How can she let him die before the rest of the audience arrives?
Ra was still speechless to find how powerful Crei actually is, and it was not until Crei had returned to normal, that he realizes how foolish he's been and suddenly felt extreme fear for his life. How many times had he ridiculed and disrespected the third prince. Now that he saw the state Lan was in and didn't know what he did to make Crei so furious, but he knew that could easily be him lying there. Ra's thoughts were a mess, he was visibly fidgeting with drops of sweat rolling down his face.
Madame Ashir and Nala have arrived a little later than Ra, therefore they had missed on Crei's release of power. However, as soon as the mother and daughter saw Lan's state, they had both lost their strength, and collapsed on the ground.
"Husband, what has happened here, which Master have we offended?" asked Madame Ashir in a shaky voice. She only saw Crei and Tria, so she assumed the 'Master' had already left.
"..."
Madame Ashir was upset, she could not understand why her husband was not answering her. Nala saw Tria standing on the side with her handsome husband, although she was jealous of her having such a man next to her, she knew of Crei's lack of talent and unlikelihood of becoming the heir.

"Second sister, can you tell us what happened? Why is father not talking?", Nala asked Tria.
Tria ignored Nala, and walked towards Ra.
"Father?", she called out.
Ra, too submerged in his fear, did not see Madame Ashir or Nala arrive, neither did he hear his wife talking to him earlier. It was not until he heard Tria's voice that he woke up.
"T-Tria, y-your f-father is s-sorry, I h-have t-truly dis-disregarded you, and sh-should have n-never left you in t-this place. I-I will go to t-the palace and d-demand p-punishment," he started crying and stuttered out to her, then turned to face Crei, "T-third P-prince, t-this humble official h-has b-been blind and h-has neglected h-his own daughter, I w-would like a ch-chance to m-make amends", prostrating himself on the ground towards Crei. Ra had lost all of his nobility.
Madame Ashir, Nala, and the servants who have followed them were thunderstruck, they had no clue of what was occurring.
Crei did not care about what he was rambling about, so he turned to look at Tria, but she just shrugged her shoulders. He didn't want to drag this any longer, and walked towards Lan, while kicking his body.
"Are you dead yet? If not, apologize." Crei did not forget about Lan, and he knows Tria was keeping him alive.
"Argh!" Lan's whole body was numb from pain, and Crei kicking him made it even more unbearable.
Lan realizing his demand, and since he could not move, just cried out, "Second young miss, no, Princess, please forgive this servant's impudence, and all of my past wrongdoings towards you, even if I was given ten lives, I would never act the same way again."
Lan did not last long after that, Tria had stopped feeding him life essence.

Crei then took Tria's hands, and made their way out, as he was walking past the prostrated figure on the ground, he coldly said:
"Having my wife, your daughter, live worse than an animal, and left to bully by lowly servants, you truly do not deserve to be her father. She is now, my manor's Princess, and from this day forward, will no longer have any ties with you."
Passing everyone, they both walked out of the 'courtyard' looking like two refined beings.
Tria did not say anything, nor did she lift a finger throughout the whole affair. She did not oppose anything Crei did and had saved her the trouble of meddling with these people in the future.

The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.

Tellus Stirs (Previously Earth AA)
The year is 2030. Earth is dying. War, pandemics, overwhelming pollution, species going extinct, climate change, etc. The so-called human race has brought more harm to their planet due to greed; their increased energy needs were on a path of decadence even with their increased technological advancements. Tactical Nukes were already used in conflicted zones in the fight for resources. The conclusion was a deep and frightening hum unleashed deep within the earth, heard by every living creature, and with it, civilization has ended. Those who survived wished they were slain along with their loved ones as the dead didn't have to endure what came after. Others took the opportunity to gain unimaginable power and prestige as a new age began. Chaos reigned as per the prophecies foretold in the past. Those who did not believe knew the signs were actual; these prophecies were no longer popular folk tales. Such titles, the Breaking, the Rapture, the Malhama, and many others, came at a high cost. After all, every city or densely populated area had been hit with natural disasters that encompassed tsunamis, Earthquakes, Firestorms, Typhoons, and hurricanes. Power, food, infrastructure. All of it was gone and what came after was worse as humans were no longer top of the food chain. Yet the imminent destruction of the 21st century re-opened a veil that had kept the world safe from hidden dangers, or maybe it was the other way around. Time will tell. In our story, the Protagonist rises from the ashes of the apocalypse. A desert child soldier nurtured by tragedy and death looking for an escape to fill the void in his heart. By chance, in his hand, he held a blade with immense possibilities.
