《EverLast(Stopped)》Chapter 3- Burich
Advertisement
A few days have passed and Hector have done the same routine as before. Every now and then, the wagon would stop, and they would eat something, but unlike before Hector would learn a few things from both Rodrick and Night’s Edge. In the past few days Hector has learned that to successfully wield Night’s Edge, one must be like a grass leaf moving through the wind. When an enemy moves back, he moves forward. When the enemy moves forward he moves back, and when the opportunity appears. He strikes.
Through these few days, Hector have also learned a lot of other important things. First, no special weapons will ever have the same name. Its a crime to fake having a certain special weapon, because to a knight, his weapon is his identity. This mean that there will not be another Night’s edge. Second every special weapon posses a special ability, and like names they are always different, sadly Hector was too weak to learn Night’s Edge’s ability. Lastly he learned about the purpose of the knights. To Hector all the knights did was fight demons keeping the continent safe. But Hector was wrong. Rodrick told him that even though the knights do keep the continent safe by killing the demons the actual reason is to protect the princess of the continent. Even though Rodrick wasn't one hundred percent sure about it, its believed that the demons became envious of the princess, for having an everlasting life. So ever since, they have tried countless of times to take that away from her, but were unsuccessful.
“We are here!” Rodrick shouted. Hector quickly looked out of the window. A huge wall was right in front of them. The wagon Hector was in stopped and was in a line behind 5 other wagons. Unlike Hector’s wagon the other wagons where different. One of the wagons was golden decorated with different colored gems, the wagon also had Blood red curtains covering the 4 windows of the wagon, “Seems like a noble is in there.” Hector thought to himself. The others were silver and nicely decorated. There was also another line next to Hector’s line and right next to his wagon was another golden wagon like the one in front of them. Being able to look at it through a side view he was able to notice that the wagon was almost four times the size of his own. As Hector was admiring the wagon, the blood red curtains opened and a pretty girl with blond hair stuck her head out taking a deep breath.

Expressionless Hector looked at the girl. The girl had big green eyes and thin pink lips, her beautiful olive skin glowed in the sun. After taking the deep breath the girl then notice Hector looking at her, and their eyes met. Still expressionless Hector didn't take anything out of the awkward occasion. Her wagon began to move. The girl felt chills going down her spine as she looked into Hector’s expressionless cold silver eyes and begin to smile at Hector as her wagon began to move. Hector notice the girl smiling at him but he was unable to understand what just happened,”Did I do something funny?” he began asking himself.
After a while the wagon was finally able to go through the huge gates and enter the capital, as Hector’s wagon went through the gates the huge wall dwarfed him. “Wow..” Hector said to himself, The capital was huge. Compared to his town this was gigantic, the houses were bigger and the people dressed nicer. A few hours passed and rodrick told hector that they were reaching his destination. Looking out of the window Hector spotted a building that was bigger than the others, in front of the building was a sign that read, “Training Camp.”. “So this is the training camp that Alice is training in?”, to get ready for the tryouts kids were placed in training camps to increase the success rate of being accepted by Skylar Academy. “Why did my father take me to this Burich guy, why not take me here?” he thought to himself as he passed by the camp.
As his wagon was leaving the training camp building behind, there was a field next to it, The field was full of kids releasing their weapons and practicing with them. Many names of weapons could be heard,”Warrior’s Warhammer!”, “Voice of Justice!”,”Curved Gold Shortsword!” some names were weird, but he didn't really pay attention to it. He looked through the kids in search of Alice, but no luck, Alice wasn't there.”Maybe she’s inside.” he thought.

The wagon continued to move through the city, and after a while it stopped. “We’re here!” Rodrick yells to Hector. Hector then leaves the wagon, his body was no longer in pain since he got used to uncomfortable wagon. He looks at the house they stopped in front of and it seemed like a fairly normal house. Hector walked towards Rodrick and says, “Will we ever see each other again?”,”If fate want us to.” Rodrick says smiling.”Now kid, I have to go. Good luck with the tryouts, I believe in you.”he said as he was leaving Hector behind.
Hector waved his last goodbye to Rodrick and approached the house. Hector begins to knock on the wooden door. After a few knocks an old man with a long white beard opens the door and says,”You must be Nolan’s son… Come in.”

Sins of the Father
Tell my story? Now that's an idea. I am called many things: the Lord of Souls, the Shadow of Death, the Undying Dreamer... I sired the Awakened of old. I have turned beggars into kings and kings into legends. I have argued the nature of man with the fathers of philosophy and spoken of gratitude with the first Sage. Since the dawn of my existence, I have walked the path of power with regard for little else. During the Great Trial, humanity's greatest hour of need, I dragged them from the jaws of their self-inflicted ruin for the sake of my beloved. Even now, few know the truth of it all. I am not a saint or a god. I am a watcher, a judge, a tormentor, and a killer. I am the Father. *** This is a cultivation story about an inhuman entity on its journey of power and self-discovery. The Father's story starts in ancient history and ends in a distant future but the majority of will take place in a near-future post-apocalypse setting. That said, the Urban Fantasy and Post-Apocalypse tags will be hinted at but won't come into play until Advent 3.1: The Great Dream. They'll come fully online at the start of the 3rd arc or 4.1 (story isn't there yet).

8 192The Girl with Scales and a Sword
This is the story of a girl who ends up with scales and a sword. Yup. There you have it folks. Slice of Life is the key intended genre. This is literally going to be a running commentary of a girls life, especially as it relates to adventure and action This is going to be a continuous work, as I intend it to be a side project while I work on other books more decidedly, and I intend to rework chapters often, because I want this both to be a break from other titles, and a learning experience. I'm going to be trying to get a lot of people to comment on chapters so I can grow as a writer. So if you want to read, please do! and comment if you feel generous. Just keep in mind, releases will likely be veeeeery far apart. (Note: I try to put out a chapter a month, though that doesn't always happen depending on school, work, and generally how well I'm doing, energy-wise)
