《The Dark Star Emperors》Chapter 40: Funeral Rites
Advertisement
Kira's body lied on the grass for all to see. She was left there ripped and crushed in pieces covered in blood. Five black coins were found at the scene. The trees and dirt had been destroyed and ravaged. It looked like the scene of a battle. The police were investigating the crime scene, but it looked like a scene from a horror movie. It was like the whole place was trampled upon by monsters.
They couldn't even properly bury Kira as her body was too messed up.
Kira's parents cried all throughout the funeral as they mourned their only daughter. Harry came and left her flowers.
Anne and Nina sat together as they mourned silently. Both Anne and Nina dealt with the loss of their friend differently. They both initially thought that those other three girls must have done it. When they heard the news, they quickly summoned the shopkeep and paid him a black coin for answers. However, even he said, "Kira was killed by Night Demons."
Nina looked like her whole body was shut down. She couldn't comprehend what happened. How could Kira die like that, she thought. There were at least five Night Demons there. Did she go after them and get overwhelmed. The only thing Nina felt was that she should have been there with her. Kira didn't deserve what happened to her, Nina thought. Her hard shell broke apart as her soul felt like it was ripped in half. She's never experienced such loss before and blamed herself for not being there.
Anne thought to herself and also wondered how something like this could happen. She knew that Kira would have called them for backup if there were too many of them. She wouldn't have just gone in. She was far too careful to just jump into a fight. And she defeated five Night Demons by herself. It was possible, but still she wouldn't have been so reckless. Anne became very angry at the thought of losing her friend. Those Night Demons must have surrounded her and left her no room to escape, she concluded. She clenched her fist and just couldn't believe what happened. It was too unreal to lose a dear friend. And this was the beginning of a terrible feeling swelling up within her. A feeling of hate and anger.

Jack, Mary, and Yune also came, but they stood in the back quietly.
When they approached Nina and Anne, the three girls looked to be sympathetic. Each one of them gave their condolences and left. Nina and Anne didn't feel like hearing that and just ignored them, so the three left without saying another word.

A collection of my Reddit's Writing Prompts replies. This is a cleaned collection of various prompts I have replied to over the years. Some will just have grammar and spelling corrected. Others will get expanded. Some are simple, especially my early ones. Many of the later submissions are a complete short story. Most are just a self-contained story, but I will carry over the existing ideas if the prompt inspires something. Though I hope that some will become more than a simple prompt submission. https://old.reddit.com/r/SilverLuckyScriptures/ Moved over to Royal Roads as the UI is superior for naviation and enjoyment.

Children of the Halo
A thousand years have passed since the signing of the Pact: an historic agreement between the nations of the Pactlands to work for the betterment of the whole. But in recent years, the Empire of Vector has been growing more bold, submitting a claim for the long-contested Disputed Lands. When a young and inexperienced noblewoman ventures into the anarchic territories the residents call the Free Lands in an effort to discover what Vector is plotting, the last thing she expected to find was a City of Wonders. On a fateful summer morning, the Vancouver Island town of Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada finds itself and its very residents thrust sideways from the world they know to the medieval Pactlands: a world ruled by a shadowy council of mages and governed by the laws of steel and influence. Cut off from their own world, the residents of this small cottage town are thrust knee-deep into the political, humanitarian and martial turmoil suffered by the residents of the Free Lands. Staring down the threat of the Vectoran claimant force, the hidden machinations of the High Magus Council, and desperately seeking the allies and resources they need to maintain their way of life, the residents of Ladysmith must use everything they have at their disposal to survive and claim their own place in a world they were not born to. Magic, intrigue and eight thousand Canadians. What could go wrong? Updates every Tuesday and Thursday.

Bear trap (statehumans CalTex)
(This book has nothing to do with furries, otherkins, or irl therianthropes. Both by their own definitions and my own, we have nothing to do with each other. Keep being your weird selves just don't pretend I'm a part of those groups because I wrote this book with animal/human hybrids in it. Any comments trying to talk about furries or otherkins will be deleted because it makes me physically uncomfortable. Therians are ok tho because it's basically the fancy way to say people who have spirit animals)There are two races in this world, humans and therianthropes, which are humans with animal qualities, that can shapeshift into their animal counterpart. The therianthropes, once divided by predator and prey, joined together in hiding after the humans began to hunt therianthropes for sport. California, a young grizzly bear therianthrope, was always curious to see the world beyond the forest he and his people lived within. Texas, a young farmhand, always wanted to catch a therianthrope, believing it would make him the hero of his village after violent massacres and thefts had been performed on it, supposedly by therianthropes.But when these two young men's paths collide, secrets, strange new feelings, and a magical adventure turns everything they thought they knew about the others race upside down.Warnings:- statehumans- countryhumans - the country and statehumans are all kinda just mixed together. There is no obvious separation between state and country, they're all just people - guns- and ships- hunting - idk, vegans?- gay stuff- not super gory, but people do get hurt - maybe death
