《Two Brothers》11: Consequences
Advertisement
"It is encouraged between the Mage schools for the students to create their own Magic Spells.
Copying the skill of someone else is possible but the result will never be the same in terms of Magic Efficiency and the over all result. Only in times of war when there is not time for experimenting that it is encouraged for young Casters Apprentices to copy cat the skills of their instructors."
-Introduction to Magic By Multiple Authors
Jack was sitting in a corner of the Shelter, opposite to where his now feverous brother was sleeping while muttering gibberish about "Cleansing Fire" and "Truth Showing Flames" between other fire related stuff he did not cared about.
He was still in shock about what the pendant hanging from his neck implied. He tried to take it off but the Title Engaged did not disappeared. He rested his head on his knees and tried to think but there was no logical reason behind that Woman's... no, Mermaid's "proposition", it was his brother the one that called them with his music, it was him who played the music as they singed. why would she, SHE, such a beautiful woman... MERMAID!
He screamed inside his head while he put his hands over it while rocking back and forth like a traumatized child. beautiful breasts and being isolated from any member of the opposite sex for weeks has started to play tricks on his mind, it had to be some kind of magic of some sort, it had to be... (breast magic) he cursed his mind for making fun of him.
This was a serious situation, not only he did not know her, but she was a different spiciest all together, they did not speak the same language or at least he thought so, and what is worst... SHE SCARED HIM, somehow he felt like she had a way to see inside of him he did not wanted other people to know who he was. He had done regrettable things. Things he was ashamed off, and he did not desired anyone to know about it.

After they got to this God forsaken land and Figured out the Whole (((systema))) bullshit he thought he could get away from his past, he actually enjoyed nature, that is why his Fishing skill was so high level, all he did back on earth was Work construction and Fish on his free time, the money he earned bought him the peace he needed to keep on living and not end up as his brother a couple of years back when he tried to hang himself after their mother died.
Life is Dark and its scary, but even here nature is beautiful and full of colors, possibilities.
The cold and wet touch of Bosco's snout touching his arm brought him back from the deep corners of his mind.
"sup buddy" with a sorrowful smile he petted the dog who seemed to have grown quite a bit since they landed in this magic world, The dog's eyes shined in the dark.
"wanna go outside?" asked Jack, Bosco's tail wiggled left and right excited.
before leaving he helped his brother drink some water, he was sweating while mumbling about fires and flames talking to him. after putting the clay cup down he was about to get up when a strong grip held him by the wrist, he looked at Brandon who was now staring back at him, eyes as wide as they could get.
"I see you with gray hair, sitting on a wooden chair, four of your grandkids running around the hall playing, you are smiling, the room smells of camomile and raspberries, a woman smiles at you and you from down the room and you seem happy... I see you, young as now, walking on an endless grass field, an army of mounted men charging at you, tears rolling down your face, you smell the air for a last time before raising your weapons... I see you kneeling under a tree, your broken spear in front of you, instead of skin, meant and bones covering your body there is only stone, two dead kids are in front of you, beasts are feasting on their corpses..." Brandon's eyes rolled inside his skull and he began muttering about fire once again releasing his iron grip from his brothers wrist.

Jake fell down on his ass and tried to crawl away from his brother. he did not understood what happened but it was terrifying. he rubbed his wrist, it hurt, he did not knew his brother had this kind of strength, it would probably leave him a bruise.
He "unlocked" the door and put it on the side he went down the river and collected some fresh water to boil. It was almost dawn, and the sky was starting to turn light blue on the horizon. he filled the big clay pot but before he turned around he saw something laying down on the river shore, a small bundle of what seemed turnips or some other root vegetable carefully placed there as an offering or more likely a gift.
His Woodsman skill did not raised any alarms and it seemed like they where edible.
they would have some fish soup for breakfast then.
While the soup boiled he started Flint Knapping some raw obsidian glass he found along the river bank
He needed to get his mind away from deadly attractive Mermaids that tricked him in to getting engaged and feverous prophecies that made no sense.

8 175MARY: The Dreadful
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] "You have to survive, Adam. You have to win." This is not a story starring Mary, because Mary is already dead. She bled out on her front doorstep following a sudden three-day absence. Seven years have passed, with her little brother—Adam—now standing at eighteen years of age. Following his sister's death, he lived the life of a delinquent, wandering the grimy streets of the city of Steeldale. All it amounted to was years of street fighting experience, no proper home and an uncertain future at a second-rate university. Unbeknowst to him, the day before university, he will be thrust from Steeldale into a brand new world. It is a world where a cherry red sky gazes down upon a fragmented continent, on which civilisations from other worlds have been dumped like refuse. The souls of man leak from their fingertips, coalescencing into superhuman powers and horrible fleshy monstrosities. Tribes of refugees clash against each other, attempting to carve out a place in this unrefined space. With no choice, Adam must traverse this dangerous new world, with Mary's shadow following him every step of the way. This is my entry to the April 2021 Writathon. Chapters will be posted as I write them.
