《Legend of the Void Lord》Book:1 CH:2 Wolf in sheeps clothing
Advertisement
After some time passed lucy, started to stir from her sleep, opening her eyes she looked at the ceiling of her room. She was glad to be alive but she was also quite sad as well that her mother was dead, poisoned to death by Karan my father's second wife, and the mother of that dame sister of mine. I'll kill the both of them I swear I'll make them pay for what they did to me and my mother.
As I lay in bed my mother's knight Sir, Charles, walked in with my mother's loyal maids and said. "Sorry my lady Lucy, we need to do, Maid helps her get dressed fast."
I got out of bed and said. "What's going on why are we leaving all of a sudden and why do we have to be fast and where are we going."
"We will head back to your mother's family as soon as possible, The reason being my lady is your stepmother wants to marry you off and I won't let that happen."
Hearing what Charles said I lost my composure for a moment. "THAT DAME WHORE, I"LL KILL HER."
Charles and the maids didn't say anything about that, they just started to get my close ready and Charles waited outside the door for us.
Kathy, started packing my bags, while Loran, was getting me dressed to go. After a few minutes, we left my room and met up with Charles outside, then we head outside where the Pages, Sir, Charles, had trained were waiting with horses and a carriage. I got in but my maid decided to sit up front with Sir, Charles, and the four Pages, walked along, two on each side.
We made our way to the city gate late at night, slow we came up to the gate where the guards were waiting. They didn't even try to check us, just giving Sir, Charles a nod as we passed by. Well, it looks like the guards were on our side; but that probably had to do with the fact that Sir, Charles was their training instructor.
After leaving the town all I could think was, I hated this, I lost my mother, I was poisoned and now I was losing my home where I've lived all my life. I was tired, sick, and fed up with everything, I with a hero could just fall out of the sky and save me from this nightmare. I laid down in the carriage and went to sleep and hoped this was all just a bad dream that I could wake up from.
Suddenly while we were on the road the carriage stopped for some reason, while I was trying to think about why we stopped I heard a loud thud come from behind us.
Sir Charles shouted, "Bandits on the left get into formation."
I leaped up in the carriage and looked out of the window to see what was going on out there. I Could have been more than a dozen bandits out there all I could think was why me, what did I ever do to deserve this and why couldn't I have a hero fall out of the sky like in a fairy tales. I looked up to the sky and hoped for that hero to come and he really did, the sky split open and a man fell out of the sky.

The man stood up and looked around suddenly one of the bandits shouted and then the bandits charged at him and he put what looked like a spellbook and a casting focus into his robes, which didn't make any sense to me because he looked just like a mage, long black jacket with a black hood on. Come to think of it that jacket looked like it was made of leather was that some kind of armor?
Before I could think anymore he changed into some kind of specter, catching the bandits by surprise, he dashes forward at the bandits and attacked them. They stood no chance against him at all as he beat them down with little effort, he moves like some god of war, speed, and strength that I only ever saw from an aura user in the capital; but the thing was he wasn't even using any aura at all. Just how strong would he be if he used his aura.
After he beat back the bandits he turned around and looked at Sir Charles, he said something but I didn't understand what he said. Then Sir, Charles, said to him, "Thank you for your aid can we do anything for you?" and he looked like he didn't understand what was said so Sir, Charles said it once more. Then the man responded by saying, "How about a ride to town if that's ok." Just as he said that the system gave me a quest.
Quest name: He's all mine. Win the heart of the Far Traveler and help Escort him on his path. This is part of the main questline. Reward for quest completion third class guide and next part of the quest.
HOLY FUCK, I can't believe what I'm seeing right now, the main quest is only offered to beings that the system thinks can change the world. Does that mean the system thinks I can change the world, but why now and who's the Far Traveler I'm supposed to guide? Of course, it must be the man that fell from the sky, it's not me that can change the world but him and if I can influence him I can have a say in how he changes the world, that's why the system now thinks it should give me the main questline. I'll do whatever it takes to make this man mine, no matter the cost I need to pay, he will be mine.
I said without even thinking, "Yes, that would be fine please come sit with me," I wanted him by my side right now.
Sir Charles Started to say, "But my lady he."
I cut him off and said, "Charles it's fine to let him sit with me."
Sir, Charles said nothing more and let the man come inside, I could not wait to talk to my hero that fell from the sky. Opening the door to the carriage, he walks in and sat down across from me, I was a little disappointed that he didn't sit down next to me.
I started by asking his name in the noblest lady way I could think of, "So may I ask the good sir what your name may be."

"My name is Caleb Lacuna, my good lady, may I ask what your name is."
Ok got his name now time for me to introduce myself self just like I practiced for so long. "Greetings sir Word, my name is Lucy Casmore Vinhaven, of the Vinhaven house of tessvol province." Ok, I got that out now time to get the important info on him. "I hope this does not come out as rude, but may I ask just how high are your stats to move like that without the use of aura?"
He razed his eyebrow and said "My stats?"
Oh no, I hope he didn't think I was being too pushy asking for information you normally only share with your family and close friends. "Sorry for asking such a question out of nowhere when we only just met."
What he said next made me feel both relieved and shocked, "No it's fine, all my stats are over twenty and two of them are over thirty."
I lost my composure and said, "WHAT, but you look like you are only in your early twenties, how are you already top of the first tier!."
No wonder the system thinks he can change the world, if he's this strong and only in his early twenty's he can make it to upper-tier two or even into tier three if he keeps up the speed.
I started to talk about that useless old man of mine that calls himself my father and about how it took him until he was in his mid fifty's to make it to the same level as him.
Suddenly while I was talking he bent over in pain for some unknown reason and started to sweat. Ok now is your chance to come to his aid when he needs it, placing my hand on his, I said in my sweetest voice. "Sir Word are you ok, your sweating, do you have a fever?"
He looked up at me and a shiver ran down my back as he looks at me like a hungry wolf about to have a meal. Out of nowhere he reaches behind and pulled me in and kissed me. I tried to push him back but he was far too strong for me and then I had a thought, was this so bad if he took me I would be his woman and that would mean I'm one step closer to my goal. Come to think of it I don't have any brothers so if my dad dies now and I take care of that whore I'll be the next lord and with this man at my side, nobody will mess with me. With that in mind, I relaxed and just let Caleb do whatever he wanted with me.
Caleb really made me suffer the whole time, but in the end, he didn't take my chastity, I could only think he didn't want my first time to be in a carriage. I was a little touched by that and now I knew he at least cared about me and wanted me to be happy.
I took a nap on his shoulder and when I woke up he was still by my side. Placing my hand on his chest I could feel his muscles under his shirt, it had been a long time since I felt this safe.
Now was the time to play the damsel in distress, I started to pour my heart out to him I told him everything about how my father mistreated me, how my mother was killed by my stepmother and how she was trying to marry me off.
After telling him all that he said: "Well looks like you come with a lot of baggage, good thing I'm pretty strong, how about you let me carry some for you."
I rubbed his chest and said in a soft voice, "Thank you." Then a system message appeared in my vision.
Congratulations on winning the far traveler's heart and completing part one of your main quest. The reward for quest completion third-class Escort and the next part of the quest. Quest name: Epic loot Part 2 of the main quest guide the far traveler somewhere he can obtain some epic loot. Reward + 10 XP for Escort class and next part of the main quest line As you have obtained the Escort class choose the person you wish to escort, that person will be easier to charm and they will have a greater desire for you, you will always know where they are, what their mood is like, what they are focusing on and if you gain their trust you may look at their stats and the stats of any other women or man they are in a relationship with, you will gain XP any time that they gain XP from your help.
Ok well, that's pretty good for me, it will make keeping him interested a lot easier as well as keeping track of him, which I thought was going to be hard.
There was hardly a question about who I was going to pick as my target. After picking Caleb as my target I could feel his focus on me and that he wanted me right here and now; but he was holding himself back for a better time and place.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
