《Luna》Slow and Steady, case 4
Advertisement
Back to the waiting-room. After replacing her cloth with a cleaner suit, Kevi cleans up the blood on her face, covers her scars with gloves on the wrist which tied by a handcuff, and takes a protective goggles on. Now she is able to show herself in the public.
The first problem is that gunshot. Nearly one third of the entire aiport must have heard that, as she estimates. They might find those bodies soon as they see the blood there, and quickly relate it to the "suspect gunner". Luckily they may search the warehouse first, inquire the trailer driver since he was the only one witness there. The process will take no longer than 10 minutes.
On the othrside of the airport, the rest of the police must evacuate the remain passengers because the gunshot has stired a fierce turbulance among the people. Within 10 minutes if it goes well, she must get there and blend herself in the crowd and leave the airport.
Achtung, achtung. This is airport emergency cast. We have found highly-suspected firearm attack. All personnel must leave the building through the nearest path immediately. This is not a drill. I repeat, all personnel must leave the building......
"Did you hear that, bro?" a black teenager tells his friend, "Some terrorists sneak in the airport!"
"What the hell?" his friend replies in extreme tension, "But they just captured someone before......isn't it? Is there more?"
Lots of questions and complaints like that are surrounding Kevi, as she walks forward to the crowded passengers. Such a weird feeling to hear others talking about a criminal which actually refers to her, the girl walking with them, Kevi gives out a wry smile. A thought flashes in her mind like: what if she is the terrorist? What if she really want to create huge damage among the innocent people? No wonder the civilians here trust the governent no more.
What if they know, we have a double agent inside our U.S.S.A?
Feeling a bit itchy on head, Kevi stands there by shock. She puts her hand in her hat, and find her wound is still bleeding, with few blood dropping down through her fingers. She lowers head, wipes the blood away, and walks to a kiosk, gets several tissues to cover the wound.

Suddenly, some phone ring calls near by. Kevi stuns, but soon spots the source: it's a public phone, right beside the kiosk.
"Luna, is that you?" as Kevi picks the phone comes a familiar voice, "God......I thought I lost you, girl."
"Nemo......" no other voice could serve as an adrenalin dose to her now, "Supervisor? Where are you?"
"Watching you right now," Nemo says, "Precisely, through the camera."
Kevi sharply turns her head.
"You're in the control room?"
"They won't make things too difficult for me. I found an excuse to get to the control room, tell them I need to know the situation happens right now, in the name of Level VI authority. Talk about that later, but tell me what happened to you? What did they just do to you?"
"I might be sent to like Siberia just before......They knocked me down, put me inside a suitcase, like they're gonna package me to somewhere."
"Can you identify them?"
"Guess what," Kevi sneers, "Russian, again. This time with a bonus."
"Bonus?"
"A woman, could be their boss, said the U.S.S.A will harbor them, because she knows some high ranked bastard......"
"Are you sure about that?"
"I was faint at that moment, but not lost my conscious yet."
"Did you see her?" Nemo asks, "Or see any feature noticeable?"
"I was in the suitcase......" it's the first time to sense the tension from him, which makes Kevi nervous too, "Ehhh......I guess she has some ache in the throat, her voice was like rubbing the sand papers......."
A long silence from the opposite.
"Bagira," he whispers, "Must be her."
"The one on the photo......"
"That's her voice. Her vocal cord was severely destroyed by torture." Nemo speaks in fast, "Luna, we must rendezvous together. Can you get to the airport metro, about 300 meters close to the exit?"
"Yeah......"
"You must get there. Bagira is a highly respected person among many people with eastern background, some zealots will do everything she orders like a fucking cult. Do not underestimate the danger you are facing now!"
"OK, OK......"

Last time Kevi heard the warning in such level is about Helen Fox, she mocked that and got beaten down and almost killed. She dares not to risk the second time.
"Get a cellphone," Nemo says, "And do not dress like a cleaner. You know how I locate you in the camera? Find other disguise commonly."
Kevi puts down the phone, watches back around. Exactly, she is the only cleaner, even the only staff along the way.
She comes into a wash-room by chance, takes off the cleaner suit and dresses her original cloth on. The purple hoodie is suspecious, but wearing a single shirt outside seems fishy too. She could only expect the police would not disdinguish her fast from the crowd.
"Entshuldigung! Bitte!" Kevi drills through the crowd, with request in German, English and Russian, "Sorry, excuse me!"
"Hey, just watch the queue!"
Someone pushes her on the back, makes Kevi staggers a bit. She can't help holding a gentleman's waist to keep balance.
'What's wrong with you?" the gentleman compliants, without realizing his cellphone being stolen away.
"Do not rush! Follow the queue!" the police doesn't catch the small argument. "Come on! Keep in order!"
Kevi leaves away from the gentleman, picks his phone and calls Nemo.
"So you get it," Nemo says in laughter, "Just catch you in the crowd."
"Yeah, I think......" Kevi stands a tiptoe, but the crowd barricades her eyesight, "I can't see the way."
"Just follow them," Nemo says, "When you get downstairs, there is a cafe called Enkel Wilhelm, get there and you'll find a safe passage behind it. We'll connect then."
One second, he adds,
"And, change a cloth. I'm afraid they've noticed you."
He's right. Three police with scope are standing on the third floor, at her upper left. Kevi heads down immediately. Dozens of shoes are walking across her sight, high-heeled, leathered, sports......and police boots.
They are following her steps.
"Where should I go?" Kevi looks around, "They're everywhere!"
"Calm down, do as I said," Nemo instructs, "I have an idea, but you have to protect yourself because it's out of my control."
"What is it?"
"I'm creating a chaos. The crowd will be in panic, but you probably get hurt among them."
"You can't be serious!"
"I am exactly," Nemo says, "Listen carefully. On my one I'll set the signal. 3, 2....."
With in a flash, the air seems frozen around the hall. Suddenly a gunshot burst out and spread all over the airport through radio.
What was that!
Someone set the fire!
As Kevi being distracted in mind, someone occasionally trips her foot. Fails to stand still, she fells on the ground.
"Stop! Hey, hey! You trample someone!"
But nobody hears the warning. They just keep running and bend their body over to dodge the possible "gunfire", even the police around them are holding the line and maintain the order with all the strength. Those shoes under her sight before, are steps on her body now. Kevi tries to protect her core part, but her body is squeezed like a sardine in can, the weight pressed on her won't allow her to stand up......
Damn it......do something!
As another foot comes to stamp on her face, Kevi catches the ankle, twist it and drags that heavy guy to fall down by another one's back, and then hit the third one's......within a second all the people around her are fallen by chain.
"Emergency! Emergency! Trample Accident! Need first aid now!"
Kevi struggles to open her eyes. The world is bright again. She's alive, just with some tiny scratches on her skin. Anyway, she doesn't have to hide her wound anymore. Kevi watches around, sees a woman with similar size with her lying by side, nearly falls into a coma. She takes off her cloth soon, relace by the cloth from that woman, and grabs her beanie on head.
On the left side, the billboard of Enkel Wilheim is shinning with Christmas theme. That's the place she need to go.
Come on, Kevi......
Gotta move on......Gotta keep moving.
......
......
"Where is the girl! Who gives you the cloth!"
With police secures around, aimming guns at her, the woman------dresses in purple lifts her hands on air, watches them in confusion and terror.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you.

But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
