《Still as Water》Prologue - Life is Never Simple
Advertisement
In a sealed room somewhere, there was a middle-aged man in gray robes, sitting on a blue platform that looked like an altar in the center of the room. Surrounding it were four glowing white pillars inscribed with magical texts, projecting a small dome of light that seemed to isolate the area from the outside.
"I need to make sure nothing will go wrong during the procedure."
On the altar, there was a small stand with a floating blue crystal on it, big enough to fit in one's hand, with his eyes were fixed on it, periodically he would check on small fluctuations, as if there was a great amount of gas or liquid churning inside, he would close his eyes and put his hands on it, they would glow a faint red as if they were burning while he interacted with it.
"Excellent." he grinned, "The water crystal is in great shape, as usual, the elemental barrier is working properly, the room is sealed, the time has come for me to find balance."
Once again, the man held the crystal in his hands, but this time, there was no red glow, but a suction force seemed to come from his own body, liquifying the crystal and slowly absorbing it, his hands and arms were coated in a deep blue, and it kept spreading through his body.
"The absorption process is a bit tough, I have to suppress my fire energy during all of it, but this is far easier than what is to come." he appeared calm even though he had drops of sweat on his still normal forehead.
A few minutes later, the man was completely blue from his head to his feet, so he came to a full stop and adjusted himself into a crossed legs position.

"Here it goes, meditation."
As the man entered a deep trance, one of the pillars started to glow a purple-ish color, and the texts around it started crawling around, with energy from the barrier accumulating at the top, forming a finger-sized purple projectile, floating, it seemed to adjust itself in the direction of the man.
A deep voice sounded in the room: "Hahahahaha... trying to steal from me, are you? Even with this little, I can still kill you!"
The light bullet went forth with great speed, straight to the man's head, but he wasn't able to notice since his entire person was focused on the task at hand. The light bullet hit his head, the man suddenly opened his eyes and screamed in shock, but he quickly fainted on the spot, still covered in blue.
"Tch, still alive, hm? But no matter, there are fates worse than death."
As the voice vanished, the pillars returned to normal, and everything calmed down, while the man remained unmoving on the ground.

A Grand Journey
A journey of a lifetime should last a life time. Melphis Hargold would happily spend as much time moving from place to place as possible. It was a simple calling, but quickly becomes not so simple. Mel loved breaking trail, moving away from the beaten route to find something new or interesting. Of course, a very signifcant part of the time that leads to problems as well. But with his class and skills, he should have no problems wandering around to his hearts content. This story has a loose plot, mostly focused on exploring novel locations and the simple pleasures of traveling. If your interested in reading about strange locations and meeting even stranger people, Melphis's travels will not disapoint. The first few chapters will be a bit slow as he goes from place to place without going anywhere too extraordinary. This story will be more of a slow burn tale rather than a fast pace power crawl. I hope you enjoy! Schedule will be Monday, Wednsday, and Friday uploads.

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.

Arden, planet of a billion souls, has been destroyed. A solar body, known only as The Dark Star collided with the world, shattering it. Through the actions of ancient heroes, and the sacrifice of the Gods, life found a way. Floating through the black sea of space, orbiting the destructive beauty of The Dark Star is Shatter, a coalition of continental rocks, surviving as best they can. Through magic and technological advancements, the fractured remnants of the planet have been made halfway habitable. In addition to shattering the prime material plane of Arden, The Dark Star’s destructive force also fractured the planar system, collapsing ancient barriers and forcing the wild elemental and chaotic magics of the planes into conjunction. The Kingfisher, helmed by the enigmatic and powerful Captain Thunder and her miscreant crew, do odd jobs to survive, operating outside of the law. One such job takes them to the shard of Evergreen, a fragment of planet covered in brilliant forests and the capricious and deadly faerie folk who call them home. Unfortunately, while the job seems simple enough from the outside, it quickly embroils the crew of the Kingfisher in a dangerous storm. Can Thunder and her crew keep to the sidelines when war is brewing around them?
