《The Invincible Hero》Now Available in Laser Vision

Lorne was considered a member of the Wu Di tribe even though he looked like a dragon. He, of course, knew where the hidden Clan's lands were. He arrived near the entrance of the Clan. He hid behind a rock and used his Ridarn vision to spy out the situation. He could hear the conversation thanks to his amazing senses.
Until recently his Ridarn vision hadn't been very useful. Most things on this planet blocked his vision ability. However, thanks to his recent discovery of using his Wu Di energy sensing ability to correct the flaws of his body and how he used energy; he was able to improve his Ridarn vision and make it much more powerful. Now, he could use his Ridarn vision as easily here as he did on Earth. Lorne was extremely excited.
Lorne thought when he arrived there would be a bloodbath, instead, he found the dragons standing back while a Gold-horn Dragon girl was bowing to the Wu Di Clan leader. Based on what he knew about dragons, she should be around seventeen or eighteen thousand years old. There was certainly a tenseness to the air. The dragons were as much on edge as the members of the Wu Di Clan. However, they held their position. It must be the doing of that Dragon girl.
"Curious." Lorne thought.
"Princess of the Dragon Clan, if you mean our Clan no harm then leave. We don't wish to fight you, and we certainly have no intention of forgiving you. Your Clan nearly wiped our Clan out! A simple apology is insufficient to the barbarous acts of the Dragon Clan!" the Clan Chief yelled angrily.
"Leave or fight, we aren't so easy to push around anymore," the Clan Chief said.
"Sir, you are right to be angry with my Dragon Clan, but I assure you my father truly wishes to make amends. The suffering of your Clan happened under the reign of my great-grandfather. Ever since my father came to power he has done everything possible to repair the wrongs done to your Clan. Our Empire is willing to make restitution. We can even restore your ancestral lands to you!" the Princess said.
Lorne was surprised. The girl seemed sincere, but the Wu Di loathed the Dragon Clan; they feared them with every fiber of their being. He would never know how his father convinced his mother to marry him. Even more, how did he convince the Wu Di to let them be together? His father wasn't the strongest Dragon cultivator around. He was pretty average. Lorne was aware of the strength of the Wu Di clan. If they wanted to kill his father, it would have been pretty simple.

"Clan Chief, we would like to prove our sincerity. My father has known of this location for more than three hundred thousand years, but he never intruded upon you!" the Princess pleaded with the Clan chief.
The Princess's revelation shocked and frightened the members of the Clan. If that was true, then the Dragon Emperor could have wiped them out at any time. They were shaken to their core. The Clan Chief, however, just got angrier.
"Listen here, little girl. If your Dragon Emperor was as magnanimous as you claim, then he would continue to leave us alone. Or, he would demonstrate his sincerity by coming here personally," the Clan Chief said.
The Dragon girl seemed surprised. "It's true the Emperor intended to let the Wu Di people be for a while longer. However, things changed. There is a great threat to our Dragon Empire and all of its citizens," the Dragon girl said.
"As I thought. The Dragon Emperor was willing to ignore us until he needed us. Now he needs us. First, he'll try the carrot and if that doesn't work, then he'll use a stick," the Clan Chief sneered.
"Sire, Clan Chief, it's really not like that. There's a threat to all life in the Dragon Empire," the girl said.
After hearing their chief, a look of enlightenment appeared on the face of the other members of the Wu Di clan. Following the clan's enlightenment was anger. The anger and hatred of the Wu Di clan towards the Dragon clan came boiling to the top.
Lorne watched everything very carefully. Suddenly, he spotted something dangerous and flashed from his hiding place. Lorne reappeared in between and blocked two attacks. One attack, from the Dragon Warriors aimed at the Clan Chief, and another attack, coming from the Wu Di side aimed at the Princess.
Lorne stood there between the two camps, not as Ying Xiong, but as a young Gold Dragon boy dressed in a blue and white costume reminiscent of the one he wore on Earth. Lorne never appeared in his true form since arriving on this planet except right after his birth.
When Lorne's parents told him the dangers of appearing as a Five Clawed Gold Dragon in public; Lorne immediately changed himself to appear to be a Four-Clawed Silver Dragon. From that day forth he never revealed his true strength. He did his best to appear to be nothing more than an average Four-Clawed Silver Horn Dragon baby.
Lorne even made his Silver Dragon baby look like a blend of Dr. Longoak from his past life and his parents in this life. The current, true face of Lorne only had a passing resemblance to his parents. All of this was done by Lorne to conceal who he really was, and today he revealed his true self to everyone.

Lorne stood between the two forces looking heroic and mighty.
"Excuse me, I don't wish to intrude but I believe life is more important than political disagreements," Lorne heroicly said. Moral certitude was a prerequisite for a hero. He had to believe in what he did, and he had to believe it was right. Otherwise, what would drive him to act?
If a person didn't have a higher moral code that he held himself accountable to then he was only serving himself. People who serve themselves were called villains where he came from.
Everyone suddenly snapped back to reality. Who was this Gold Dragon? The Dragons didn't take immediate action because they just met a Gold Dragon they had never heard of before.
"Another dragon, just butting in." One of the elders from the Wu Di clan said. The elder suddenly fired a Void King realm energy blast at Lorne, but it harmlessly bounces off his chest. Lorne sighed as he looked at the elder. This man was usually so peace-loving. He was really angry right now. Lorne had never seen the usually gentle and peace-loving man like this.
"Elder Wo, please stand down," Lorne said.
Elder Wo was surprised the Dragon boy knew his name.
"Who are you?" the Princess finally asked.
"Wudi Long," the Dragon boy said.
"Wudi Long?!" sneered Major Fennu, who stood next to the Princess.
"What an arrogant boy," the Major said.
"Perhaps," Lorne said with a smile.
"Aren't you a bit young to be mixed in with adult matters," the princess asked.
"Satchel Page said: Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter," Lorne said.
"Witty." The princess smiled. "I wonder where this Gold Dragon boy came from." The Princess thought.
"Princess, if you really wish to converse with the Wu Di Clan Chief then your sincerity might be better expressed without weapons. Perhaps you should retreat for now?" Lorne asked.
"We're not retreating! These Wu Di demons are being offered a chance at life from the Emperor and yet all they've done so far is spit on the Emperor's good intentions," the Major roared.
"Men, remove this silly little dragon and capture the Wu Di Clan Chief," the Major ordered his troops.
"Stand down Major! My father put me in charge of this mission, not you!" the Princess commanded.
"Princess, we all know the Emperor was only humoring you. You had a chance your way, and now we'll do it my way. You should go back to the ship or I'll put you in time out, for your own protection of course." The Major smiled aggressively.
"Presumptuous!" she yelled.
Just as the Major made a grab for the Princess, Lorne blurred in front of him, floating at eye level, and grabbed his arm.
"You better let go of me, boy, before I get rough," the Major said.
"Major, I think this situation calls for cooler heads, not cowardly hotheads," Lorne said. Before the Major could react, Lorne pushed the commander back by touching his palm to the Major's chest. The commander flew backward, mowing down some of his men. The whole lot wound up crashing into a mountain seventy-three miles away. The Major and his men were all unconscious.
Lorne turned around and looked at the Dragon Princess.
"Pardon me miss, but if I may be so bold, you should make sure your men are under control before coming to talk about important things with the Clan Chief. They already have no reason to trust you and bringing hotheads like that Major only makes things worse," Lorne said.
"I didn't have a choice. My father assigned him to me," The princess said.
"Then you shouldn't have come. You should reflect on your mistakes and find a more sincere way to approach the Wu Di Clan in the future," Lorne said.
"Perhaps you can help with that?" the Princess asked.
Lorne blurred into the sky and turned back to say, "I'm not a politician mam, be safe." With that, Lorne turned towards the heavens and flew away. While everyone looked at the sky in the direction Lorne flew in, he quickly circled around and arrived back at the boulder where he hid earlier. He changed back into his normal appearance as a Silver Horn dragon.
The parties in the conflict today were all puzzled. "Who was that Dragon boy?"
"I don't know who that boy was, but he was right. Your Dragon Clan isn't being sincere." After saying his piece, the Wu Di clan chief and the clan members turned around and entered their hidden clan, disappearing from before everyone.

My Pixie Familiar
Pixies are real. Not only are they real, but are considered pests due to their mischievous nature and love of pranks. Some people think they are magical and making a potion or powder from their wings will transfer that magic to a person. Any good alchemist will tell you that is not true. Most will gladly take your money and make you a "magic potion" though. My name is Jase Fisher and I thought I would follow in the steps of my mother and become an alchemist since I didn't enjoy fishing, hunting, or any of the other trades offered in Beau Ferry, my village. Not only have I been looking forward to being an alchemist, I was looking forward to bonding with a familiar. My biggest fear is not bonding with one of the exciting familiars such as a dragonet. If I can just make it through the bonding process, my life is set. Oh, and not run afoul of any pixie pranks.
8 488How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
