《Unveiling the Arcane》Caden
Advertisement
My brother and I watched the unusual girl walk out of the room without even a glance in either of our directions. It was strange for us to not be fawned over by girls, especially Aiden considering his species. We were even acting strangely considering Aiden actually approached a girl and I didn't rob her blind. She was peculiar and far too alluring to be a normal person. She wouldn't have been able to walk onto campus if she was just a person after all. The wards wouldn't have allowed such a thing. She would have passed right over campus from one side of the ward to the other without ever touching school grounds. I glanced over to my brother and knew we were both thinking the same thing which was par for the course of our lives. We just became very interested in getting to know this new girl.
Sure, the school year had just started but there was no mistaking her for anything but the new girl. Sage had just started school here with a bunch of other students that had been attending the same boarding schools since elementary school. There was no doubt she would stick out like a sore thumb. Though it was doubtful that girl could ever blend in. With that long naturally blonde hair down to her hips and those sparkling bright blue eyes there was no way she could ever go unnoticed. She was beautiful in an almost understated way. Other girls worked hard to make sure they looked good, but I doubted that Sage cared what other people thought about her appearance. That just made her even more attractive and I really wanted to spend more time with her.
"I don't know why but I have a very intense need to get to know Sage better." Aiden interrupted my thoughts, making me smile.

"I want to own her." I gave him the half-smile he was so well known for.
"She's a person you can't own a person. Let's get to science before we decide to stalk her," Aiden said.
His continued conversation about Sage made me pause. My brother was never one to hold idle chit-chat about random topics. If he felt the need to say something, you knew it was important to him. The fact that he wanted me to act appropriately with Sage spoke volumes of itself. Generally, Maddox said more than Aiden and he wasn't even born with the ability to speak. I looked back the way that Sage had left before glancing back at Aiden. "If we start a fan club, I call dibs on being the president. We all know what happens under the desk in the oval office." I winked at Aiden.
He smirked at me as he looked back towards where Sage had disappeared thoughtfully. Aiden was almost acting like he had a whole personality hidden in his body and I wondered if Sage would accept a job to stalk my brother to see if this side of him would develop more. I enjoyed seeing my brother happy and interested in something going on in the world around him.
Sage Fleur was going to become our new best friend if I had anything to say about it. I guess it was an okay substitute for owning her; for now. Hopefully, she would be able to shake things up and make my brother a little more interested in life for once. I smirked to myself at the plan forming in my head while my brother and I headed toward our physics class.

Led by the Beast that watched the Universe till its destruction, he found new meaning. In the new life he created, he began walking a path of blood. He choked a Prince with one hand and beheaded a King with the other. He killed a General ten kilometers away with an arrow and even dragged a Continent in order to get what he wanted. Yet beyond the never-ending river of blood, the core of his heart blossomed as he found himself a reason to live other than glory. Under the bleak life of chaos, blood flowed to nurture a flower, that bloomed to represent himself.

The Black Empress
In a hall, so lavishly decorated, even the vatican would bow down in shame, an army of abominations kneeled, motionless. Each and every entity present could defeat all of mankind, single handedly. And yet, the girl in front of them, they could not stand against. So they chose to follow her instead, forming an army strong enough to threaten the gods themselves. The girl leisurely sat on a throne made of the same black fabric, that reality is painted on, her shoulder occupied by a crow with eyes like molten rock. Oh yeah, she looks like a four year old. Who is she? Why gather an army of such tremendous might? This is the story of a thing, that once was a normal girl, but hasn't been for centuries.

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
