Author's note:Ok so here is the next chapter,hope you enjoy!
"Great,Welcome to our team!"the nutcase responded with a slight delight!,
"I said NO,I won't join you guys!"she turned to the others totally overlooking my denial,
"So does anyone has any problem? "she asked to others,still overlooking me shouting"I am not joining!" as if I am invincible,
"We can't just bring anyone in here like that and ask....."the army guy said while quickly interrupted by the nutcase,
"So it's final I guess!"She said with a sign of relief,
"LISTEN TO US DAMMIT!"we both shouted to which she simply waved a hand and said"But all you guys are saying are negative things and anyways what's the harm?"at her abrupt reply the army guy just shrugging his shoulders as if this was already a lost case.
"No way in hell I will be joining a group of murderers going around calling themselves "HEROES",I said while pointing towards my prisoners"I only wanted to know do you have some sort of prison to hold them in.......ALIVE?",
"Is that guy alive?"the small girl asked with a confused expression,as I looked saw a motionless giant hovering inside the barrier all life less!,OH [email protected]#t! IT;S OUT OF AIR!.
I quickly deactivated the barrier,Butcher dropped to the ground and remained motionless...........or so I hoped,he got up and ran towards me with his fist raised even before I could act he......stopped or to be more correct was once again was inside a barrier which just appeared out of nowhere," Repulsion Barrier "?. while the nutcase said in a her joyful voice "Quite some actor isn't he?"while I was just standing there thinking what if she was just a min late...........
"JUST HOW CARELESS YOU CAN BE?"glasses shouted,
"SAYS THE GUY WHO FORGOT ABOUT THE HOSTAGE THEY HAD OUTSIDE!"I shouted back in reply,

"I........thought you had it in control?"he said while looking away.
"ON WHAT BASIS?"I asked to which he replied"Well you managed take down Butcher as if a joke and well thought you could just make that blue barrier of yours again?",
"I can make only ONE of them at a MOMENT!"I shouted again to which army guy started laughing"That's not something you tell other,that to whom you think to be murderers and have rejected to join,even after they showed you their hideout"he said while looking towards the nutcase!,who pretended to not notice and simply looked away.
"Well if I knew that I would have added that to our plan and also if I were to know how careless you can be,would have never risked a person's life on someone like that!"he said while making that same face he kept making all way here,the "Master not impressed" face!.
"Well at least I wasn't going around slashing people's heads off in name of some hollow justice!"i said while looking towards the one who almost made me vomit by going ahead chopping people off as if they were made of paper.
"What is he going on and on about," PUPPETS " is it?"the lady said while looking towards the nutcase with a..........pitying look,
"Tell me one thing what do you even know about them?"glasses asked me with a straight face,
"Well,people mutated by someone who are also extremely loyal to whoever that is,even going as far as committing suicide if caught.Pretty much modern day mutated terrorist"I recited all I knew about them from net and news,
" " Dreamer ",put room no.4 on screen"glasses said while moving towards the screen himself,
On screen appeared a room in middle of which there is one of those snipers sitting on a chair.......yes just simply sitting on the chair while not moving at all.....while crying and mumbling something it seems?,don't tell me these guys are going to or have already tortured him or anything like that!(Creeps).

"That is one the " PUPPETS "and NO we won't do such a thing,as it will be completely useless.Once infected
by..." Cursed Blood ",it's not only powers what they get but also extreme loyalty towards their mistress which can not be broken at all untill they live!."
"Still waiting for a possible justification on on MURDERING them cold bloodedly that too in style" I asked while looking at the screen.
"Listen to this"he said while pressing a button resulting in a voice being played,
"MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS........",
"what is he................."Before I could complete my sentence glasses interrupted"He will die within within next few hours,it seems that's the price paid for that rapid mutation caused by the " CURSED BLOOD ".George,that's his name,used to be a retired soldier.Family,a wife and two kids,went missing yesterday,with his house filled with crops of his family,tortured to the limit before dying from pain."
I was still staring at the screen while he continued "While police is still searching for his whereabouts as a suspected murder on losse,I took the liberty of looking into his memories," PUPPETS " password was too simple "MISTRESS",in his memories I saw A girl probably in her twenties telling him that she will believe that his faith in her would be equal to the suffering he can bring upon his former loved ones,she kept smiling from ear to ear while he did what she asked while again and again looking in her direction to see if she was pleased!",
By the time he was finished I was just staring at the man who was still reciting that chant which was just........"If you don't believe me I could show you his memories?"glasses said while switching off the sound.
"Don't"I said,turning towards him"Is there no way at all to..........help him at all"I asked,
"We have already tried everything we coud....there is no coming back for them"the lady said looking towards the floor in a low voice,
"There's gotta be some way to help them out,Isn't Butcher here been rampaging for more than a year.............there's got
to be a.."
"My brother"the nutcase interrupted "She told him the exact same lines......"Equal to your faith in me" "she said in a low voice while looking at the screen..........just looking with that same expression she had all this time,a smile on the face and that same look in her eyes...........,
[email protected]#!.
Ok,this chapter was once again I went ahead and wrote on what I felt,but ok it was a bit dark but as the title said"Every fairytale has a dark side!".
(Poor nutcase,I don't like writing tragedies for my stories!.)

Trickster's Tale
Be careful when demanding reparations from gods. They rarely own up to their mistakes. Due to a goddess's shortsighted error, Perry finds himself transported to a distant Universe with new proportions and a different identity. Instead of cowering before the deity, he demands she opens a portal home or provides reparations for him and his bereaved family. Unfortunately, standing up for himself doesn't earn Perry respect. Instead, she curses him with cowardice, limiting his combat and magical potential. Little does the goddess know that nothing can stand in the way of Perry's sheer will. If brute strength and arcane might won't get him the justice he desires, wit and creativity will. Perry's first target? A goblin shaman. Then, the world. And so begins, the bard's ballad. Trickster's Tale (Book 1): Is That A Lute In Your Pocket will release on Kindle Unlimited on the 10th of May.Due to KU's exclusivity rules, I've had to take most of book 1 down.Book 1 Bard's Ballad takes place in the same extended Universe as my other story, The Houndsman. It's set on a distant 'disk', though. As a result, the magic system is unique in comparison and has a harder LitRPG system. While the story utilises stats, it doesn't take them seriously and occasionally makes fun of regular LitRPG mechanics.

The Oath of Oblivion
Rane could draw power from the dead and make it his own. For some, such an arcane birthright would be a boon and a blessing. To Rane, it meant being forced on a path of bloodshed and death based on the whims of his slavers. To commit acts that went against every human instinct he retained. Years of torture and captivity have left his body weak and his mind in shambles, yet he still retains a few, fragmented memories. They hint at a life beyond what his prison and what his cruel masters have allowed him. At a family he's lost, and a promise he's already broken. To escape, Rane will have to face fierce beasts, unhinged mages and the true essence of what it means to be human.

One single truth that no mage has yet to break. Oaths, once sworn, cannot be broken. Under the Arbiter's watchful eye, civilizations rise and crumble. People live and die. The words of the strong become law, and law shapes reality. And that is just the reality Rane has to change. Dark High Fantasy story with multiple alternating POVs.
