《Aurora's Sky》Chapter 2 : Aurora (2)
Advertisement
Aurora’s parents haven’t removed the child from the hospital quite yet. The bursts of magnetic energy around her was seen as a real threat to the government. Under Galactic Article #6893294 any attack on public technology was seen as a terrorist threat. This rule was made ages ago when cities became almost entirely made of tech.
Everything had tech : from the solar paneled roads to the nano-machines filtering the nearby air, the walls of buildings, and etc. Government officials actually wanted to take the child away from her parents due to her special unidentifiable power.
However, her father was no measly character. He was the president of the Union Institution of Technology and was himself spearheading the tech that would change everyone’s lives, the creation of artificial intelligence. This position was equal on footing to multiple individual planetary governments combined and no one could stop the influence of tech in their own lives.
So instead they let the galactically-proclaimed genius to his own means and let him decide the future of his daughter. The father decided to leave her at her current hospital, as it was nearby work, the tech there was easily modifiable, located on his estate, and was rather large.
Aurora’s powers seem to have a range of about 15 meters around her. The effect also seemed to expand when she was angry and completely dissipated when she was sleeping. Her mother decided to make a garden entirely made just for Aurora to play around in and built a house specifically catered for her aversion to technology.
Aurora started being able to speak her first words after simply 2 months of being born. Evidently, in place of her non-functioning legs and limited stamina, she received a superior intellect. Aurora’s mother realized this potential in her and had books specifically created and shipped to start teaching Aurora.

Aurora by the age of 6 months was able to read and speak Commons. Her mother was astounded and loved talking to her intelligent little baby. Aurora’s mother then focused on bringing books from every planet. Eventually, a large library was built that would house books and be constantly stocked with new books. You would often be able to see little Aurora being pushed around in her wheelchair by her mother to look at books.
At age 1, Aurora began writing her own diary in secret as a pastime. The diaries were often about the material she had learned that day and what she wanted to do in the future.
At age 2, Aurora was reading about the past and about games. She also read about the current affairs with planets revolting against the Union. She didn’t understand how people could fight and kill so meaninglessly for such conflicts. She hoped that maybe she herself could end those conflicts one day.
Aurora was now the age of 3 and ironically enough had a growing interest in technology. She wished to be able to one day come in contact with technology like her father’s and not destroy it. She wished for the technology that would allow her to move and play freely.
Her father occasionally came by the house and realized the interest that had begun to bud in the girl and he didn’t have the heart to tell her it wasn’t possible with her condition. So instead, he came to teach her about his own work and his progress in creating Artificial Intelligence. This also allowed him to vent his frustrations that he couldn’t express to others. He had trouble in creating a logical approach to how the A.I. would respond in contact with human emotions. The preliminary A.I. had failed all basic human personality tests and eventually broke down due to the logic interference it would experience afterwards. This meant the A.I. could not have contact with humans or it will start breaking down.

Aurora at age 3 worried about her father so she began to study greatly in the topic of human emotions and programming. Along with her father’s own private lessons when he had the time, her knowledge grew at an enormous pace and within a year she had the skills of an average team member within her father’s circle of colleagues. Nobody understood how the girl was able to infer and learn information so fast. Aurora herself had no idea as she simply seemed to remember knowledge whenever it was mentioned. It just sort of appeared in her mind if she thought hard enough about the problem. However, what happened next astounded even her own father.
Aurora equipped with a pen and a book began to write out an equation and code with her own little hands. She would often complain about her cramped hands and tireless nights equal to a number of times her own father would complain about work. When she was 4 and half years old she had finally begun to finish the book that she had written. The book was her gift to her father. She handed the book over to her father and the expression on her father’s face was one of amazement. Aurora’s father then decided to immediately have each book page scanned and translated to the computer.
The results were astounding, A.I.s became able to learn at an even more accelerated rate due to the final added code and had no problems with human emotions. The creation of the first A.I. was witnessed by Aurora’s father and his team and dreams of a limitless future came to them. The miracle code was named the Aurora code and labeled as an achievement of the miracle child born to a great fate. The code would then become the basis of many future A.I.s.
However, in a galaxy far away a war was ignited between humans and they heard the news. THEY heard of the wonder child who created the key code and the creation of A.I.s. THEY heard of the miracle child that was the future of mankind. THEY heard of the mysterious powers she had. THEY heard of the tech-less garden she resided in.

WISH MOUNTAIN
I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be. Still with me? Great! Let's get to it... WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies. The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast. Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time. The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him. Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better? It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be? From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration. So what can you expect? In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can. The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish. If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...

Spell Bound
“It wouldn’t be a lie to say that many of us want to change our lives for one reason or another. Power, money, lust, love, acceptance… loneliness. Empty endless screaming loneliness; that was my reason. Loneliness that just didn’t go away no matter what I did or how hard I tried. Maybe some of you can imagine how I felt, perhaps even felt it yourself or still do. It is a terrible feeling isn’t it? It can be maddening beyond belief. I remember sitting on the floor in the corner of my room staring at the endless white walls hating myself. The loneliness had gotten so bad I would just sit there and cry. I felt so alone, so isolated, so inadequate. Would you run away from it all if this was your life? Would you try to change things? What my dear reader would you do? This is the story of how I ran, how I lived, how I tried to change things and how I finally died. Dear reader this book is the story of my life and those around me. The knowledge I’ve gained, the wisdom I have acquired, my triumphs, my failures, those I loved and those I hated. This book is all that I am and hoped to be. It is yours now, may it serve you well and guide you to a happier future than mine.” Excerpt taken from the journal of Kaden Vos also known as, “The Butcher of Rakan” -- I have been a long time reader and have always wanted to create something myself. I hope you all find this world I am creating fun and enjoyable. As I am new to this, any advice or feedback you have will be greatly appreciated and I will do my best to improve. My goal is a chapter a week, but sometimes it can be a bit tough with work and taking care of the family. Thank you all for reading. -- PS: I take no credit for the new cover, you are an amazing artist whoever you are. I am only using it for a temp cover till I can make something myself.

The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.
