Chapter 5 : The Blue Danube.
I was standing out in the river about knee deep, my speedo scaring off all the fish. I turned to Yamina eyes wide and said. ”Okay Right hand of the goddess, we’re going to dedicate this river in the name of your mother, I’m going first, we’re just going to wing it, and see what happens. After I’m done you take a turn, when we’re both done, I’ll nod 3 times and on three, we both say ‘So Mote it be!’ Got it?”
“Is it 1, 2, 3, then go, or 1 ,2 then go on 3?” Yamina asked, her eyes sparkling and a smirk decorating her lips.
“Really? A Lethal weapon Reference? That’s awesome, but have you been chatting with your mother behind my back or something?”
“Nah, I’m a piece of her, until I’m worshipped in my own right. I’m still connected to her, so I’m just kind of sneaking in and rooting around. She’s got most of the important stuff sealed off, but 20th and 21st century earth trivia and culture, she left wide open.”
“So basically, she’s teaching you to be a sarcastic smartass?”
“Smart ass sure, but sarcastic, I got that from watching you! I Got it from watching you!” her eyes upon me accusatorially.
I bust out a laugh, and said “Now you’re just showing off, but I love it.” I say my face breaking out in a big grin.
She beamed and said “OK, lets Mommyfiy this River!” flying around my head.
I raised my staff in one hand and my sword in the other and put on my most pretentious voice.
“In the name of the great Mother Goddess, Goddess of Rivers, I dedicate this river to Danu and Henceforth Claim it and Name it the Blue Danube river!” and looked at Yamina.

Who piped up , desperately trying to make her voice sound pretentious, “In the name of my mother, and all of her children, I claim this river for The Goddess Danu, and Name it the Blue Danube”
She caught my eye, 1, 2, 3 “So Mote it BE!!” we shouted, and I shoved the staff down into the sand bottom, like the Best Colonialist Oppressor with a flag, ever!
“Man that would have been so much cooler with a flag, Or a cape… I hope a hundred years from now, when they paint this, I have a flowing Cape.”
“I hope your pasty ass has pants” Yamina muttered.
“What was that?” I said turning towards her.
“Nothing, just muttering to myself.” Said Yamina in faux humbleness.
“That’s my girl.”
I cast identify on the river, my hand outstretched, thinking I really should have done that the first time, I’m slipping today.
We both burst out laughing, Yamina said, “Poor fish” and we lost it again.

City of Champions Online
Having found the tragic truth that an art degree is worth less than the paper it is printed on, Jacquelyn Jones is frustrated with her dead end work as a graphic designer for a marketing firm, finding new ways to try and convince people that this week's 50 cent off sale is actually worth driving to the store. She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
