《Black Ice》Chapter 5
Advertisement
2 Year's past by in the blink of an eye. A child was sitting on top of a rock while meditating. A small black bird came by and floated in front of it. The child opened its eyes as it stretched its hand, the bird landing on its hand.
"Little black were have you been sneaking around lately?" The child said while gently caressing the bird. The child had white skin with big fully black eyes, with a mole located in its right cheeck. This child was Heise 2 years later. His pitch black hair had already grown quite a lot as it slowly turned wavy from straight. He got up while placing the little black bird on his shoulder. The bird sat there comfortably like it was its favorite position.
"I guess its time for some training" He said while stretching, the bird still completely still, not moving a cm.
As he finished his stretching he dispeared into thin air as a shadown could be seen hitting a training dummy made out of rock. The dummy disintegrating from the force of the speed. Heise stopped as he wiped his sweat from his forehead.
"Wow fathers martial art technique is really amazing, being able to move around at this speed with just a mortal body is incredible. Although i've already mastered it and i have nothing more to learn its really amazing." Said heise.
Leng Handed him over a technique called [Divine Dodging Crane] Since heise begged him for one. Although his father handed him over the technique he expected Heise to take over five years to completely master this technique since its one of the hardest ones out there, especialy for a mortal body. However Heise somehow managed to complete it in a year. He smiled in satisfaction.
"Heise are you here?" A person screamed. The voice was that of a kid.
"Ah! Guys im here!" Heise shouted back.
2 shadows landed on the ground as the aproached heise. They were both children around the same age as heise. One had Cyan hair, blue eyes with a red crystal on his forehead, as he carried a small black bone like sword with him. The other had green hair green eyes with dark circles, He didn't look that energetic as a sad aura spread around him.
"You were training alone again?" Asked the cyan hair kid.
Heise nodded as he smiled and said "Alastor, Haku how about we spar together?"
Haku smiled as he disapeared and reapeared in fornt of heise. He sheathed his bone like sword as an a sharp sword intent spread in the area. "heh, So you trained the [divine dodging crane] to this extent, well at least with your sword we can even out the fight." Heise said while performing a martial arts attack that he created himself after studying the [Divine Dodging Crane] technique. He called it [Divine Cranes Feathers] as it is a punching style attack that focuses on pure speed.
"Oi Heise that isn't fair!" shouted haku while getting pummeled to the ground by the fists. "Alastor help me out a bit here." He asked Alastor for help.

"Ah... How are you supposed to defeat brother Heise with skill like that." Said Alastor while sighing. As he shouted "Well here goes nothing" He dashed towards Heise, demostrating the [Divine Dodging Crane] technique as well.
Heise smiled at the attempt of Alastor in charging for him as he disapeared. 5 Clones of Heise appeared as they all grinned at the same time. Thanks to his deep black eyes they couldn't tell were he was looking.
The cloes were created through the mastery of the technique, he was able to create them thanks to the incredibly fast speed.
Alastor and haku shook their heads as they surrendered. "Heise you are too much for us to take on" Said haku whith a bitter expression. Alastor nodded at that comment as well.
Heise shook his head as he said "If were were awakened the fight might've gone differently since i dont know what powers ill get, But you two have them already set in store. Haku you are born with a divine bone and you Alastor have the soul devouring hook of your family, so its basically hard for me to defeat you if i have a weak ability."
Haku disagreed with that statement as he angrily said "With your ability and talent for everything, if you dont have an incredible ability then the gods are just bastards that like to fool around."
Alastor agreed while slowly saying " Well that's not the reason we came here today anyway, The village chief wants to see you."
"old master Argus wants to see me? Did you go ask for what?" Asked heise. Both of them shook their heads as they didn't know what the village chief wanted Heise for.
"since that's the case lets hurry, we dont want to make him wait. You both know how he gets when he is angry" said heise while starting run. Alastor and Haku swallowed their saliva as they quickly followed behind him.
The reason Alastor and Haku knew about the [Divine Dodging Crane] technique was becasue Heise taught them it. Although Heise is mentaly much older than them Alastor and Haku were special children displaying the same inteligence as heise at this age. Even other children of the village were much smarter than the humans on planet earth, since all of the kids knew how to speak fluently by the age of 2 and already started training their bodies by the age of 4. They all had incredible inteligence, The average iq would be around 200 for this children when compered to earth's 100 average is exactly double the amount.
Village chiefs house
"So you finally came children. I've been waiting for a while, i was thinking of going to get you myself." Said Argus with a smile.
The 3 children shivered at that smile. The village chief was too scary for them.
"Well enough with playing around Heise come here." Argus ordered. Heise followed behind him while signaling goodbye to Haku and Alastor.
"Chief what did you need me for?" Asked heise.

"Well lets start with basic history, do you know about the stories of our progenitors?" Asked Argus.
Heise nodded and said "Out ancestors are gods that were created from the primordial gods. The primordial gods are beings that were created by the creator."
"Correct but isn't the whole story. You see our planet is seperated into different lands and plains. The current plain that we are located in is called the divine plain and is the biggest plain out of the three. The Nether and The Aether wich are located bellow and above our plain respectively. each plain is seperated into 9 layers. We are currently located in the top Layer of the divine plain." Said Argus.
[Wow that's a quite a lot of space for life isn't it. How big is this planet then? earth is about circumference is about 40.075 km and 6.371 km in radius, i wonder how much of a difference there is.]Thought Heise. "Chief how big is our planet?" He asked.
"Hmmmm... Good question. From what i know it should be around 601.000km in circumference and around 95.565 km in radius." Said Argus.
[Wait! Isn't that just impossible? An exoplanet this big? This is like 15 times bigger than earth's! Life shouldn't be able to exist in this planet, too many coincidences need to happen for a planet this size to inhabit life. This place does really defy the physics we learned in school. The gravity here should've been really weak but i feel like its stronger than earth. The gods really are amazing.] Pondered Heise.
"Well enough of that, lets get into the reason i wanted to talk to you." Said argus as he continued "The reason i wanted to get you here is because of some things that i need to inform you about. You see in the future you will not be able to have an easy ride thanks to the people that are chasing down your father and killed your mother."
"Killed mother? Who are they? why are they chasing us?" Said Heise with doubt.
"I cant tell you the details. If you want to ask about your mother the only person that you can talk to is your father, but i guess he wont tell you anything about the incident as he probably doesn't want you to get burdened with this matter. The only thing that you should focus on is avoiding the people with masks. They have a mark of a half moon on the center of their forhead." Said Argus with a warning tone.
Heise was kind of hesitant with his because he didn't know if it was better to know more about the situation or just listen to the village chiefs words.
"Also I wanted to talk to you about a legend that was told by the gods." Said argus.
"A Legend from the gods?" Asked heise.
"Indeed. The legend States that the Creator Unleashed a barrage of black crystals to the planet, Their location unknown to this date. They state that those crystals are what hold the power of time and space stable in our planet and if they are collected once again The Creator himself will apear and bestow the next level of enlightenment for our planet." Said argus with a tinge of emotion in his eyes.
[Wow such things such as enlightening planets exists? are you serious, isn't that a bit too much?] Thought Heise.
"Well enough of that, That black little bird on your shoulder, Its been a while since i've seen a Divine Creature like this. If im not wrong it's called a Black robin? Hmm no this bird feels different, although it does look a lot like a Black Robin it really isn't one..." Pondered Argus while stroking his chin. (Divine Creatures are the The animals/monsters of this world, it really depends on how agressive or friendly they are.)
"Chief im not sure what it is. It just kept flying close to me and i sometimes fed it, that's all i did but it got really close to me. It has a really strong grip as well. I've been moving at max speed when training and yet it didn't get fazed out or knocked flying at all." Said heise with a questioning look.
"Hmm... Intresting, very intresting. Such an intresting bird. Well let me take a look at my books for a bit." Said argus while heading to his library. He grabbed a book related to Divine Birds as he slowly flipped through it. He pondered while looking at the image of Black robins As he shook his head, Since it didn't feel right to him. He continued flipping until he fell into a page that contained a simillar Bird, however this bird was just a myth. A legend found in the stories.
"HAhahaha.. What a lucky find. To think i would get to see a deity Again. Kid you are lucky, this bird is a Divine Robin. Its one of the stongest birds out there. Even thought it isn't from a race like the phoenix or the 3-legged golden crow, its still one of the strongest birds. Although from what i can see its still a baby. Its mother probably died or left it, since it probably couldn't raise it. This little guys are true gluttons" Said Argus while laughing.
"So little black is that powerful huh? Little guy Im expecting a lot from you" Said Heise while caressing the little black bird. The Bird flapped its little wings as it chirped happily.
"Anyways, you should return to your house, Its getting dark outside" interrupted Argus with a smile "Dont Worry about the matter with your mother since you are too young at the moment."
Heise nodded while turning around and leaving the house.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
