《Saer Servitude》Chapter 12

"Do you trust him?" Fierlo asked.
"We are going to market and rob a merchant." Saer spoke plan of his own, "Then we will give the money to him."
Fierlo nod in acceptance.
"And then, Fierlo, we will have Calajhan's address."
"Or Tadeas' consideration, at least." said Fierlo.
With heart filled with hope and mug yet to be filled by wealth, the two cut-throats walked into the busy market.
Day time in Pryeg market was light years different from what it was at night.
Night was when rich men visited market while day was for the under-privileged ones. This was why they struggled to find someone who looked wealthy. Street was filled with beggars and thin old men pushing fruit carts which weighed thrice of them.
Almost an hour later, they found a middle-aged man who appeared to be rich. Fragrance was coming from his clothes and the Arabic hat which was on his head denoted nothing other than high class.
Saer had seen no one of a middle class family with such a hat.
"Keep a track on him." Saer told Fierlo when the merchant walked past them.
Fierlo and Saer got in the mix of the crowd. The street was so crowded it looked everyone was following someone who walked in front of them. The casualness served them a fortune.
Merchant had spotted nothing suspicious.
"When do we rob him?" Fierlo was running out of patience.
Saer was worried about it as well.
"We have to take some chance." He answered.
They followed the merchant by coming closer to him. None of them cared how apparent the stalking would be for the wealthy middle-aged man.
Fortune was in their favor because merchant didn’t notice them. People dressed in rags were not something a wealthy sight can give any significance to. Rich man then walked on stairs to get inside a house.

Saer watched the house from down the stairs.
"This must be his house." Fierlo said by looking at the well maintained house.
Then they stepped inside after pushing the door.
Inside they saw men on seats drinking wine and smoking hookah. Some were counting their coins on the table. Not so well dressed cut-throats got noticed by eyes of the rich.
"Your deposit?" a man collecting coins waved at a rich man on the table.
"We are in a bank." Fierlo whispered in Saer's ear.
Fierlo caught hilt of a knife on his waist. A guard standing beside them looked at them with suspicion when he noticed Fierlo's hand movement.
"What are you looking at?" Fierlo said.
All of a sudden, he pulled the dagger out and hit on the guard's temple with its hilt. Other guard wasn’t so lucky. He met its pointy end.
The merchants began wrapping their coins inside the table clothes instead of running for their lives.
Fierlo threw his dagger to a guard who was looking to get in. Dagger flew and jammed straight on his forehead. As the guard fell, he took down others along with him. Saer caught a pouch full of coins without wasting any time and went for the laces.
Gold glowed on his pupils after loosening the laces of the pouch.
Fierlo, now, was picking up fallen coins meanwhile.
"Leave!" Saer yelled and ran out.
Fierlo controlled his urge to get rich and stepped out to the stairs.
Saer stabbed the stumbling guards on stairs. They had not even reached the bottom of stairs when twenty guards charged from the side of the street. This time, they were twice the size of them.
One's sword was taller than Fierlo himself.
With intent of no further killing, the two cut-throats looked to flee. Hitting the busy street, they shoved everyone on their way.
Little did they know doing so was also making way for the guards following them.

Overseer
From the nothingness I appeared. Bodiless, voiceless, ageless, I have only thoughts and emotions to guide me. My one connection to the world lies in the hearts of a small colony of lizards, just on the cusp of maturing. I reach out to them without hands, inspiring them to be more than what they are, shaping their bodies from visions of lost memories. But where do the memories come from? I am always left with more questions than answers. In my lonely shapeless existence the lizards cannot hear my words, and they cannot feel my touch, and I must wonder, do I even really exist? --- Called emotional, abstract, and beautiful by readers, this story is an observational account of a disembodied entity that has the power to influence and change a race of mildly intelligent lizard creatures. Memories of a previous life often serve as inspiration, but also generate questions as to whom the entity might have been before it became an Overseer. (presented in short chapters) (Thank you readers for getting my story into the top 5 ;u; ~

The Patchwork Realms
Athos is a good dog. He likes frisbee, bacon, and his family (SmolFriend, Mom, and Dad). He's not so keen on falling through an interdimensional portal to a fantasy world where floating boxes tell you that you've just been given status as the 'Supreme Exemplar' of your species, a powerful package of abilities that includes human-level intelligence. Sure, being smart is nice but less so when it comes with the need to survive in a land made from bits of different dimensions stitched together like patches in a quilt. A thousand species, a thousand lands, sorcery and super science rubbing elbows, wars and intrigue everywhere...it's exhausting for a good dog who just wants to go home! Note that this is a work in progress with lots of fiddly numbers so I will occasionally need to go back and fix errors, and this might affect events of earlier chapters. I'll try to keep this to a minimum and will post a note whenever it happens. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Smoking Bandits
With a gaze that was hard to describe, Lark stared at his body in the mirror. Not his body as a human, but his other body. Head of a reptile with rows of sharp teeth, a 180 cm tall body that is full of muscles, covered in scales formed green and black tiger stripes. Clawed hands and feet, with a tail strong enough to crush an adult neck. 'Man. . . can I still be called a human?' In the end, with a deep sigh Lark changed his form back into a human. A moment later, he came out of the room wearing a combat dress, tactical belt with shoulder strap, and jungle boots. While inserting a magazine into an AK-102, Lark muttered. 'Whatever, time to hunt Orcs.' *****
