《DK (Dropped)》Chapter XI - South and East
Advertisement
It was still early in the night for me as the two warriors changed places.
With a head bow from Ragnar, he wished me a "Good night, Great DK!" as I waved with my left hand to him.
As Caesar took position at the entrance, he spoke to me. "Great DK, do you not wish to get some rest?"
"I am fine, the night is more beautiful to me than the day." (DK)
"It's true, such a splendid night with an alluring moon!" (Caesar)
There was a long pause in our conversation as we were just contemplating the sky.
"I already told this to Ragnar." (DK) "Starting tomorrow, he will focus on hunting bunnies during the day, I told him to not hunt in the night as it can be dangerous."
"Totally agree! It's best for us to hunt in the day, if you wish, I could join him in the hunt!" (Caesar)
"For now, only Ragnar should hunt, due to his wings!" (DK) "Besides, with me sleeping during the day, I want at least two of you in the Hive to protect Cleopatra and help her look after the young!"
"As expected of Great DK! You always suggest the right choices!" (Caesar)
(I still feel like it's too early to rest. Maybe this time I will take my time to check the other areas of my land!)
As I kept my hand on my chin everytime and I was deep in thoughts, Caesar knew something was up.
"Is there something bothering you?" The wasp inquired, worried that he had done something wrong.
"No, no, of course not!" (DK) "It's just that I was thinking about taking another walk trough my land."
"Another?" Caesar again inquired.

"Yes, I took a short one when Ragnar was on his shift." I informed him as I rose up from my spot at the entrance.
"I will be back, but there is a chance it wont be at the time of your shift, so have a good night and I will see you next day!" I told him as I departed
"Good night! Enjoy your walk!" (Caesar)
(This time I will try South, then East.) This was what I decided while descending down the hill.
Trough the forest of massive trees I walked again, around the same distance that I recalled from the North side.
"It seems the terrain here isn't rough like the previous one." I mumbled to myself, taking step after step.
Soon enough I found a new area, different from all the previous ones.
"A lake!" I shouted, it was a lake, a big one.
(I think I will take a look around?)
As I checked the area, walking around the lake and inspecting if I could find something new.
"Is that? Fish?" I wondered at the view of seeing them swimming around.
(Gray fish? Got no idea what they are called, but they are the same size of a bunny!)
It took me a long time, but finally I finished walking all around the lake.
"I saw no possible way for the water to get into the lake, maybe the water comes underground streams?"
Then, with a quick decision I decided to leave, heading towards East.
(I have no use for water or fish, but I bet it will help the wasps in the future!)
I kept walking, wondering about different things, until I reached the end of the East area.
"Compared to the rest of the land, this seems like a waste land!" I shouted while conteplating the view.

The ground was covered either by millions of small rocks or dirt.
Kept walking trough, the more steps I took, the bigger the rocks got.
(White, gray, brow rocks? I wonder if they are worth something?)
"I am no rock expert, but maybe this place has the potential of being a future mine!"
(Looking around, and still nothing but these rocks! Uh, maybe it is time to return?)
But then, I was troubled as I turned back.
(Fuck! I don't know the right direction for the hive from here!)
"Should I follow the path to the lake or try to follow a direct one to the hive?" I tried to decide.
"No! I cannot risk it, it's better to have a longer path rather than a chance of getting lost forever!" With the decision made, I picked the safest choice.
Since I took the long way, I was sure it was not long before sunrise was soon to happen as I finally returned to the hill.
There, Leonidas stood on guard duty, he waved at me as I reached the entrance.
"Caesar went to sleep?" I inquired Leonidas.
"Y-Yes Great DK! A long while ago and I am sure everyone will wake up soon." Leonidas politely answered.
"My apologies, but it is getting late, I must rest!" I told him as I preparing to dig in my grave.
"It, it is okay! Rest well!" (Leonidas)
(Maybe I am being rude to him, but fuck it, I already told the others what to do, besides my first skill should be done by now!)
Underground for the third time, there I was again, getting ready to check my tab skill.

A Prose of Years
For decades, spiritualist Evert Kallstrom and his team have joined in humanity’s millennia-long fight against the beasts. Wielding their weapons and their ki, they fought and killed these great threats to civilization. And yet, despite their efforts, humanity was losing traction in the war. In the last fifty years alone, more cities had been overrun than in all of known history. While most thought the great beasts natural, a few knew the terrible truth. They were the product of a dark lord, who desired neither fame nor wealth nor power. Instead, his sole purpose was the genocide of humanity. While their peers dithered, a small faction of the strongest mankind had to offer—including Evert Kallstrom and his team—set out towards the Deadlands to find and confront this dark lord. After weeks of travel, twenty-one spiritualists found themselves approaching an ancient fortress wherein rested a being known only as the Eastern Guardian. All they found was death. But death has other plans for Evert. Evert bolts awake in his 16 year old body near his hometown, decades in the past. He is confused, poor and weak. But with grit, sweat, and years of experience, he won't let the future repeat itself. That level of strength won't be enough by itself (it wasn’t last time) and victory is hardly assured (he’ll need to reach farther and higher than he ever did), but Evert refuses to squander a second chance. [Other tags: First Person POV, Hard Magic, Faulty Memory] Volume 1 is complete and has been fully released. My current intention is not to write any sequel volumes. That said, I have also released appendices (SPOILERS) that cover the worldbuilding and future story-that-never-was. Comments suggesting fixes for grammar, misspellings, etc. appreciated. Note: If you came here from Candlelit Lives, these stories have nothing in common.
