January 29th, Sun City International Highschool
The following is a special story never before told...It happened the day the HISTO.RE.A. club was founded...the story of how the Last Shaman of the Ysleta and the infamous Charro Negro met…
It’s early in the morning, the day is very cold because it is still winter. Walking down an empty street, Uriel heads to school. He suddenly stops and says:
“So, how long will you keep following me?” Uriel turns around and looks at the corner of the street. The one who was following him slowly walks to the street revealing her identity. A girl with blonde hair, tan skin and has native american features on her uniform.
“Hehe...so you noticed me...since when?”
“Since yesterday, that serpent familiar next to you is very cautious, anyone would have difficulties to detect it but it was very simple for me.” Uriel replies as he looks at the wall next to him. Immediately, the wall begins to move, revealing a serpent that was camouflage.
“Impressive...not bad for a demon…” Tiwa begins to release mana as she looks at Uriel furious. Uriel, who is confused, asks:
“May I help you with something, you seem to be angry at me for some reason, aren’t you Emma Smith?”
“No...my name is Tiwa…”
“I see…”
“Of course I am angry...Charro Negro...I will kill you right here and now and avenge my tribe…”
“Your tribe?”
“That’s right...I, Tiwa de Ysleta...the last member of the proud Ysleta tribe...will take my revenge now!”
(BBOOOMMM)
Tiwa releases a pillar of mana. "Zuni, Jana, Suma" Tiwa summons all of her spirits. A pillar of yellow manna shines as Tiwa prepares to fight seriously.
“Zuni, Suma, Jana...Fusion; 100%”
“Right…” The three spirits turn into manna and begin to fuse with Tiwa. Tiwa’s outfit transforms.
She now has a black Native Americans style dress with frills at the bottom. White boots, white wrist warmers that all fringes in the bottom, and a red bandana with Native American patterns around her head. She has Coyote ears, coyote tail, wings from her back and a serpent style lasso surrounding her waist.

Uriel doesn’t show any emotion; “Impressive, I take it that you are shaman?”
“That’s right, I was taught the art of shaman by the priests of my tribe...now then, prepare to die…” Tiwa charges straight at Uriel.
(BBBOOOOMMM)
An explosion releases a smoke screen, Uriel comes out of the smoke screen, he looks at his uniform thinking; “Damn it, I don’t want it to get dirty…” Uriel looks at Tiwa and asks:
“Hey, can we do this another time...I want to make it in time for school…”
“SHUT UP...I’M BEING SERIOUS HERE!”
Tiwa charges once again, she tries to hit Uriel, Uriel dodges every attack. “Why can’t I hit you?”
“It’s because you’re attacking with anger...you will never touch me…” Uriel explains to Tiwa, Tiwa gets angrier and continues to attack him.
(PUM PUM PUM)
The multiple attacks form several craters. Tiwa breathes heavily, Uriel hasn’t shed a sweat. Tiwa looks at him furious:
“YOU BASTARD! YOU’RE JUST TOYING WITH ME AREN’T YOU! HAVE YOU NO SHAME!”
“Listen...I don’t plan on fighting with you...I have nothing against you...the reason you’re attacking me is dumb…”
“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU DON’T KNOW A THING!”
Tiwa says as tears come out of her eyes, Uriel notices that and asks; “You say that you are the last survivor of the Ysleta tribe. The Ysleta tribe disappeared almost one hundred years ago..” Tiwa doesn’t reply. Uriel sighs as he thinks; “I must be serious or else, I will damage her pride…”
Uriel then lifts his right arm and begin to chant:
“Yo soy el Jinete, Yo soy el inicio, Yo soy el final, Yo soy El Charro Negro.”
Flames come out of Uriel’s ring involving him around in a smaller dome then before changing him into his “Charro” form.
“So, you are finally getting serious huh…”
“Tiwa de Ysleta, you’re strong, but you have been blinded by the sense of vengeance...and that…”
Uriel disappears from her sight, he appears in front of her. Tiwa's surprise flies back, she tries to attack him using her serpent rope but Uriel dodges it. He jumps above Tiwa and, like a sumo slap, forces her into the ground.

Before Tiwa could get up, Uriel pointed at her with his sword; “It’s over…”
Tiwa begins to cry feeling weak; “Why...I was reborn in this body so I could finally have my revenge against you and that Bounty Hunter and yet, I am so weak…”
“I already told you, you are not weak...you are just blinded...you’re strong...strong enough to make me go into my Charro Form…” Uriel puts away his sword, and continues to speak; “By the way...I wasn’t the one who attacked your tribe…”
“WHAT REALLY?” Tiwa gets surprised. Uriel continues to explain; “You’re saying that your tribe was attacked 100 years ago...I’m only 16 years old, so it wasn’t me…”
“Wait, wait...but I know I saw El Charro Negro that night...and you are El Charro Negro…”
“Well, I am...but you are probably referring to one of my predecessors…”
“No way…You mean I have been attacking the wrong one?”
“I’m afraid so…” Uriel replies, Tiwa feels as if a giant rock falls into her head that says; “IDIOT” Tiwa sighs; “Aww...you know how long I have waited for this...I even trained to get my vengeance...and now it appears that you weren’t the one...but wait…”
Tiwa gets closer to Uriel; “You are El Charro Negro, which means that you are my enemy as well…”
Uriel sighs with his eyes closed, he turns back into his uniform and grabs his backpack. Tiwa also returns to normal. Uriel begins to walk, Tiwa goes after him; “Hey wait...we are not done here…”
“You are not, but I am...besides, I don’t have any business with you…”
“Oh yeah, well, you are after the Golden Key right?” Tiwa asks Uriel, putting on a teasing face, Uriel stops walking and turns around; “So you know about that?”
“Of course, I am also searching for it, and I know that Alejandro Sanchez has one in his left hand…”
“I see…” Uriel turns around completely; “So...what do you want from me?”
“I know you are my enemy, but right now…” Tiwa looks down, her face red and asks; “Could you...and Alejandro...form a club with me?”
“A club?”
“Yeah...you see, I need to keep a watch over you plus I was rejected by the others and I need one just like you and Alejandro, otherwise, I will be expelled…”
“You don’t have any friends don’t you…”
“SHUT UP! SO, ARE YOU IN OR OUT?” Uriel scratches his head; “This girl is a pain…”
“Very well...we’ll form a club just because I need one...okay…”
“Really? That 's great…” Tiwa jumps out of joy. Uriel sees that and thinks; “She’s an airhead...but she is strong...especially because she managed to hurt my right hand…” Tiwa quickly grabs her backpack and runs to Uriel’s side:
“So, how are we going to name our club? I have already cleaned up the messy room that kid Alejandro had…”
“Oh really...well, since we are searching for historical artifacts, we will name it the HISTORY CLUB…”
“So lame…”
“Well, you came up with one then?”
“Mmmm...how about the HISTORICAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION…”
“And you called mine lame?”
“SHUT UP, THAT’S THE NAME WE ARE USING AND IT’S FINAL!”
“Okay, okay...fine, have it your way...Emma Smith…”
“Shut up, I am Tiwa de Ysleta, remember that…” Tiwa smiles and continues walking forward thinking; “I found my new club...yay…”
And that’s how Uriel and Tiwa met...and the formation of the HISTOREA club...A club that will change the world…
THE END...

Touch O' Luck (The Old Realms)
A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war. The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something. The Old Realms series: Touch O' Luck (Finished) Lure O' War (Ongoing) Wings O' Fate First chapters will be uploaded immediately. After that there will be updates every 3-5 days. Cover artwork by @IntheBlackveil All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

Midnight Origins: Arrival
On a lush planet known as Bhar, Verun is now the leading nation in the development of the rivaled schools of Magic and Science. Having brought forth an era of peace and prosperity for themselves through the development of Magitech, The High council was eager to spread their knowledge and beliefs to the furthest reaches of the continent, with the goal of ending senseless conflicts and prioritizing advancements in Magitech and improving the quality of life. This ambition, however, is not without opposition. Most followers side with one school or another, believing it is superior in nature. This conflict dates back to the very beginning of civilization itself, where it is believed by both sides that their gods descended from the heavens, bestowing upon them the knowledge that would bring the world into a new age. And though some took great interest in their differences, others would seek to convert each other through any means necessary. That being the case, The High council, leaders of Verun, had made the necessary preparations to handle threats and attempt diplomacy between the remaining opposers. Talented volunteers were hand chosen to be among the military, tasked with protecting the nation from both internal and external threats. And although non-biological creations have improved quality of life, they are not yet capable of replacing the military. The necessary research and development for such a thing was thought to be decades away, until Councilman Eranor encountered an anomaly in his facility…
