《Observing Death》Beauty
Advertisement
Order is what makes the world beautiful, when everything fits exactly where they are meant to be.
I nod to myself as I rearranged the last piece of book from the bookshelf, finishing the pattern of books forming a gradient. From a warm color to a cold one, the books were rearranged in such a fashion that it exudes grace and beauty. Another work masterfully done with careful planning such that the project achieves perfection.
Aiming my camera at the bookshelf, I took a picture, a new addition to my gallery.
I took my belongings and prepared to go back home, I enjoyed my time at the library. Books separated into sections, further divided by which author wrote them, I see a chaotic order. An organized mess of information that is just enough to scratch my itch of achieving equilibrium.
Walking through the sidewalk, I marveled at the trees equidistant to each other, prompting a smile to emerge on my face.
At my door, I lodged the key into the doorknob and turned it, opening the door and allowing me to go inside the house. Taking my shoes off, I placed them in a box cabinet specifically labelled outdoor shoes, neatly placed right next to a box with my indoor shoes inside.
I put on the indoor shoes and took off my coat, hanging it on a hook just above the boxes. I walked further inside the house and went inside my bedroom, I didn't get a two storey house as the stairs would ruin the symmetry.
Taking my clothes off, I folded them neatly and placed them inside the laundry basket. I placed my camera down at the center of the table and went to the closet to change my clothes.
As I opened the closet door, I was greeted with clothes already in pairs hanged from a clothes hanger, sequenced in such a way that it doesn't tick off my need for order. Grabbing one from the pile, I changed into them and placed the hanger inside a drawer right below the hanged clothes.

Grabbing my camera, I held it in hand as I went inside another room. I turned on the lights to my office where nothing but a table and a chair is present, empty so that nothing will distract me from my thoughts.
In the chair sat a woman, my wife, she was beautiful and every part of her adds to her beauty. I could only watch her from afar before, but now we finally got married.
I had a fight with her when I took her away and brought her into our home which caused one of her legs to bend at the wrong side when she squirmed and fell out of my hands. I held her legs on instinct as I tried to prevent her fall, that was when she broke her leg and lodged it off her kneecaps.
I couldn't bear to see her like that, so disgusting, her foot facing backwards. My goddess can't be in such an unsightly state, I had to do what any man would do. I carried her into my office and placed her on the table, she was crying all the while.
I watched as her eyes glistened with tears, she looked like a fairy and I hate that a part of her was not perfect. I continuously told her to not worry and that the pain will be gone soon. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a cleaver, I didn't want to hurt her so I made her sleep with a cloth covered in chloroform.
I used a new piece of handkerchief to not stain her beauty, I can't believe I have a wife now and she was perfect in everyway, well almost.
I watched her as she limply slept on the table, I spread her legs and used a ruler and marker to measure the perfect size. I wrapped a belt above the mark to prevent her from bleeding out, holding the knife in hand I started on one leg and began chopping.

I ultimately chose to cut an inch above the knee to get rid of the awkward twist in her legs. Her skin felt soft to the touch, I carefully wrapped her leg in gauze and administered first aid. I did the same to the other leg, now she looked perfect once again.
Carrying her to bed, I carefully set her down and covered her with a blanket.
I went back to the office and cleaned all the blood away, grabbing the severed legs and placing them inside a briefcase. I intend to work on them later, I'll try to restore their former looks and then preserve them.
I collected all her blood and placed them in a jar which I will put a label on afterwards. I cleaned the room, sprayed some air freshener and sat down on the chair.
I took out a photo from my pocket, inside it was my wife in all her glory I took off her clothes when I had to perform surgery and restore her beauty. I was dumbstruck by her beauty that I had to stop and take a picture.
I placed the photo inside a picture frame and hid it inside my closet.
Walking back into the bedroom, I stood beside my newly wedded wife and looked at her sleeping face. She looked pale, I mean she lost a lot of blood but she'll get better in time. I smiled with glee and kissed her forehead as I imagined our future together.

The Fabled Islands
Somewhere out there, in the great expanse of space and time, exist the Fabled Islands. Nobody knows how or why they exist, but only that it is a strange and special place that operates under laws separate from the universe. The Fabled Islands are made up of vast floating continents. They vary in size, with some ranging from the surface area of a small planet, to a star. If you look at them from afar, you would find that they are placed in a line. Each island is separated by a vast amount of space, so there is only one way to travel from one island to the next; a gateway on the edge of the island. Each island is governed by strange rules. The only thing they share in common, is that the rules are governed by the System. The rules change vastly from one island to the next, so you must quickly adapt. Tristan was raised on the first island, Fertility Island, and has finally been allowed to become a Brave; a respected profession throughout the islands. Fertility Island is a peaceful island. There are hardly any monsters, the land is fertile, and the people kind. This is the complete opposite of what Tristan wants. Bring on the monsters! Bring on the magical items! I want adventure, loot, and to put my life on the line! Where are the dungeons, caverns, and mountains to be explored? Where is the mythical equipment to be found? The next island? Then the next island I will go! His adventure begins now.

Convergence Series
Eulisses Malinor is a prodigious and somewhat reclusive wizard with an unconventional outlook on life itself. The latter may or may not be related to him shedding the burdens of mortality some time ago. He claims that every wizard that takes pride in themself needs to reside in a tower in the middle of nowhere. It definitely has nothing to do with the Addia fanatics that continue to seek him out. Successfuly, much to his discontent. Ever out to ‘cleanse’ him, or bloody murder him if you'd ask the lich himself. But soon, that will no longer be a problem, as Eulisses has finally gathered every reagent - magical or otherwise he needs. He will tear open and stabilize a miniature Rift, essentially creating his very-own pocket realm in which even Addia’s gaze will no longer be able to reach him. Everything has been carefully planned out in advance, so there is no possibility of failure. You can maybe then imagine his bafflement, when instead of the nothingness of his successfully created pocket realm, Eulisses finds himself in a quite holy looking hall, amidst quite too-baffled looking fellows, in the centre of a gigantic summoning circle - allegedly, he cannot read the runes that make it up - and facing a young and quite fair maiden that stares at him quite wide-eyed.
