《The Dark Star Emperors》Chapter 15: The Wave of the Crowd
Advertisement
The school day ended without any problems. It was a very boring day for the three, but they knew what they were about to do. Before the class day actually finished, each one of them left five minutes early, so that they wouldn't miss the three Light Guardians from leaving.
They were also very surprised that they all had the same idea as they stood around in the corner of the exit waiting for the school bell to ring.
"So," Jack asked to start a bit of small talk, "what excuse did you give to leave early? I asked to go see the nurse."
"I asked the teacher to also see the nurse," Yune said.
Mary kept quiet. "What about you, Mary?," Jack asked.
"Me? Oh, I just left. Didn't say a word," Mary replied.
Jack laughed, "Nobody tried to stop you. And you just walked out without saying anything. Hah!"
Even Yune chuckled a bit.
"What's so funny? The teacher was writing something on the board. So, I just walked up and left. I don't think anybody noticed," Mary said.
And when the school bell rang, students bustled the hallways.
The three overheard one of the group of boys say, "Hey. Did you see that girl who just left the class without saying anything? That was so cool."
"Huh? I guess they did notice," Mary commented to the other two girls.
"Yeah," another one of the boys said to his friend without noticing the girl, "It's too bad the teacher plans to give that girl a detention. She was so cool walking out like that."
"What!?" Mary exclaimed, "The teacher said I'm getting another detention?"
"Hey, it's you. I thought you would have went home by now," one of the boys said who noticed her and then walked away.

"Well, I don't see those three, yet. Hopefully, we'll be able to notice them in this crowd," Jack said.
"I doubt it," Yune mentioned, "Let's go up to the rooftop and see if we can find them from a bird's eye view."
Jack, Yune, and Mary all tried to go through the crowds as each one struggled to fight the oncoming horde of kids. It felt like fighting upwards against a waterfall.
However, during their hard trek, somebody grabbed Mary's arm. She looked over and saw her teacher.
"Well, well, well. Seems you're still here," the teacher said.
"Sorry, teach, but I got to go," Mary said.
The teacher dragged Mary away from Jack and Yune who were worrying about their own trouble of getting through.
Then, Mary looked at the teacher with eyes of purple. She stared at him with intense anger and ordered him, "Let go of my arm." A new power swelled up inside of her that she had no idea of.
The teacher wasn't frightened, but his mind fell asleep for a moment. He had no control over himself and let Mary's arm go as if he was hypnotized.
"Oh. Thanks, teacher," Mary said relaxed and then she went back to fighting against the crowd.
He was frozen for a bit. But he felt nothing. His mind was empty, but then as if something clicked inside of him, he woke up.
He looked at his hand and wondered where that girl went, but even he just wanted to get home.
The three made it to the top of the school roof and looked around. They looked and looked, and eventually they noticed three girls happily walking away from the school gate.
Mary, Jack, and Yune transformed themselves and went off into the shadows to follow them.

Dark Lands: The Exile and the Prince
A short time has passed since the siege on Ruined Home has been lifted and as the survivors of the battered encampment slowly begin to rebuild their new home, Aurelius has returned from a failed troll hunt. Yet despite the battered prince’s failures, he has set into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Meanwhile, Iskra has found herself at the helm of a far more favorable position and begins to forge a path that will lead her towards the first steps of a long road of revenge. Author’s Note: This is the direct sequel to the first Dark Lands story and as time goes on I will update the synopsis to help bring further detail about the story. For now however, I hope you all enjoy what is about to be written. Eight Years Arc: Eight Years have passed since Aurelius and Iskra have first met one another, and a lot has changed since then. The vast majority of Aurelius’ family has been slaughtered by the hands of none other than his oldest brother, a man that the golden haired prince had spent the past several years to hunt down and kill all in the name of vengeance. Upon his return, the kin-slaying prince has found that some things have changed during his absence. Iskra, his first wife and love of his life, has proclaimed that she no longer cares about the events that have been unfolding in her former homeland for the last several years and states that she is solely focused on raising her children. Yet it is through learning that the High Elves have taken a keen interest in the once magically-absent lands of Ranislava that Aurelius decides that action must be taken and thus he journeys south to learn more about what his distant kin are up to in such a backwater region of the world. Who he will meet and what he will do will turn the tides of fate, but in whose favor is something that only the Gods will know. (The Eight Years arc is something that was designed to be written in a way where people don't have to feel the need to go back to the very beginning of the Dark Lands story in order to know what is going on or who the characters are.)

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
