《Blood Control》ch 13 Azure Black 6
Advertisement
I stole another dagger from another soldier, and now with a dagger in each hand. I used Blood Control Shadowless Twin Dance making my body move elegantly with the 2 daggers. This time Luke was on the defensive, parrying my Blood Control Shadowless Swipe with his metal gauntlets from my 2 daggers. Yes with this, I have a chance of beating him!
“ YOU ARE A ROTTEN ROYAL LUKE!”
“ Shut up traitor!”
I tried taunting him several times during our battle to get him to become careless but it didn’t work. The longer the fight went on, the more blood I lost which was making me more tired. In the end, Luke managed to appear behind me in an instant and landed a heavy punch to the back of my head. My skull cracked and I almost blacked out. But my anger from all my past abuses wouldn’t let me faint here. I took a gamble. Which was to pretend to be knocked out on the floor.
“ Wow, you are one strong woman. You sure do know how to fight, who taught you? Oh that’s right you are knocked out. Soldiers arrest that woman. We will take her back to be interrogated.”
"YES SIR!"
Luke turned his back against me. I used my last resort Blood Control Shadowless Throw. The dagger went flying to the back of his head and it shot through. Luke was dead. HAHAHAHA I bet he didn’t expect me to throw my daggers at him. Good thing I didn’t reveal my throwing ability during our battle. If I had another dagger, I would have used it and he would have known. So hiding one more ability from him was my saving grace.
I looked around, the soldiers were all shocked that Luke was dead. To be honest, I don’t know if I can kill all of these soldiers in my current state.

“ SOLDIERS SCRAM BEFORE I KILL ALL OF YOU!”
The soldiers were startled and looked at each other before they all fled. Heh, looks like the soldiers do care about their own life.
I didn’t know what to do anymore. My revenge against Crow has failed. My friends were all dead. Well, at least I managed to kill one of these rotten Royals. I took a deep breath. I carried my friend’s corpses to the backyard where Crow has buried the girls. Then dug out a grave for each of the 4 friends who joined me in my failed revenge. Tarra, Vale, Yuki, and Yuno I’m so sorry that I am such a worthless friend. After paying my respect for them. I decided that I must survive and find Crow. This time I will torture and kill him for good.
I looked around the manor to find any clue where Crow could have gone. There was nothing. I went to look around in my former room. Someone has broken into my locked drawer. Upon opening up the drawer, my bottle of bleach was missing. Wait why would someone steal this from me? Did Luke and his soldiers take this? The bottle of bleach was given to me by King Black, to effectively hide me. Bleach was a banned substance in this kingdom. Nobody must know that you can dye your black hair blonde with this. It was also unheard of for royalty to hide their black hair. After all, every single royalty in this kingdom had black hair. They are all proudly displaying the fact that they are a rotten royal. So it was unlikely for Luke and his soldiers to know of this.
I had a sick feeling that somehow it was Crow who took this bottle of bleach. He was completely different on that day after all. The only way to know is to find him. But where could he have gone?

After trying to find clues for an hour at this manor. I gave up. I better also make my run for it too. So I picked a random direction and started running. Wait, the first time Crow changed and cried, he ran off to that particular ‘forest’ in the distance. Could he have run in that direction? I stopped and ran back towards the direction of that ‘forest’, running to find Crow first. He probably thinks he is a fugitive now. If the other side finds him first, I wouldn’t be able to finish my revenge.
I ran for 3 days. I lived off rabbit and fox meat while spending most of my time running further and further. I only spent 1 hour each day sleeping. Making a fire was super easy too when you are strong and can create high friction between 2 pieces of wood. At the end of the 3rd day of running. I decided to take a break in the river to wash up.
What if Crow chose a different direction to run in? I started feeling sad that he was never going to be punished for his crimes. Hmmmmm, he did have a 3 days head start after all. And I’ve been running for 3 days now. So it should have been 6 days of running if he ran that much. I guess I need to increase my speed if he really did run in this direction.
It wasn’t long until I saw a shabby house deep in the forest with a huge lake. I saw 2 people there. They look like they are training. One of them was Crow, and another person was an old man. I grinned. I knew I was smart to pick this direction. They both haven’t spotted me yet. Crow should not know any blood control skills, and he was still an idiot fighter when I fought back at the manor. This will be an easy kill. However, I do not want Crow to die so easily. Perhaps I should torture him for a long long time.
I needed to recover from my injuries from Luke as soon as possible before attacking Crow. So I used Blood Control Blood Regeneration to replenish lost blood faster.

Cary Simms: The Fairy Mushroom Forest
From a young age, Cary Simms knew that she wasn't like the other boys her age. She didn't know why or how that was, but it seemed apparent to the bullies of her school. They would often call her names, chase after her after school, and beat her up when they could catch her. Her only protection, besides escape, was in the words of the Good Book. But that was before she stumbled into the supposedly haunted house at the end of her street. When a mysterious ring and a drawing on the back wall of the post office opened up a whole new world for her, things quickly went from weird to scary. At a new school, in a new world, surrounded by people who had access to magic, all Cary could think of was how to escape the witches that had her trapped there. It was only having her best friend by her side that gave her any comfort at all. ***This is my first attempt at a middle grade book, and would appreciate feedback. Please note, this is a second draft, and might not represent the final product.***

8 95The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
