《Pilgrim》The Fearful Angel
Advertisement
Sam jumped at the sight of Evangelos appearing instantly across from him.
“You nearly gave me a heart attack! I wish you wouldn't make such a sudden theatrical entrance...”
“Apologies. I chose the path of discretion.”
Sam thought for a moment on how crazy it would have looked for this rather large angel to come inside through the front door.
“It's okay, don't worry about it. Is something wrong?”
Evangelos showed no sign of emotion. He obviously was very serious about his job, and went about it with a dry, almost robotic personality.
“Yes. I have come with another message for you. Lumen City is in grave danger.”
Sam pushed his plate aside and focused on the angel's message.
“What kind of trouble?”
“The Fallen Angel is hard at work in this city. You know him as Satan. He has tricked many a folk into working for him. Most are ignorant to that fact, and just enjoy chaos, hatred, instability. But, there are others who know exactly what they are doing, and have allied themselves with him.” Evangelos paused and looked outside the window at the rain, which was still falling hard. The lone cook, amazingly, was still asleep on their smoke break.
“One individual in particular, has sold his soul to him in order to come back and finish what he started.”
Sam's heart sank into his stomach.
“I sense that you already know of whom I speak. Levi Lyon, the murderer you presumed dead, is now very much alive, and now more powerful than even his guns could make him.”
Fear seeped into Sam's heart. A fear so insurmountable that he became light-headed, and thought he may faint.
“Fear not, for you carry with you the power of angels, and the heart of a fighter. You must continue the mission that Eli started. The mission that you started tonight when you preached. You are the light of the world, and it must shine through.”

“I can't... I can't do this,” Sam muttered, the fear in his voice now very tangible. “T-tell God that He has the wrong person. I can't do this.”
“You can do this. God has chosen you. He has a habit of taking the weak and making them strong. No offense, of course,” Evangelos said with a slightly embarrassed cough.
“No, you're right. I'm weak. I'm scared. I've only gotten this far on adrenaline and luck. Those muggers from the other day? It was all just a power rush. I can't handle a murderer, I can't face him. He took everything from me!”
Slightly agitated, Evangelos now leaned forward to face Sam.
“God knew how you would respond. That's why He is sending someone your way now, just as Moses had Aaron.”
Standing up from the table, he stretched out his mighty wings, and read from a scroll.
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.”
With that, he rolled up his scroll, and managed a small smile.
“Keep the 'Pilgrim' moniker. We've gotten attached to it.”
With a nod, Evangelos had disappeared.
Sam was alone again, with only the thunder to keep him company now.
Wait, that isn't thunder now... oh no...
Gunfire.

Moonlight
Three powers were discovered and harnessed so that they could be controlled. These powers are required to keep the planet alive, and need human bearers to focus and amplify their individual powers, but at what cost to their bearers? Power over the elements, controlling the flow of time, and dictating life and death are the powers that three young adults wield in Moonlight, but their lives will be changed forever. Moonlight follows the stories of Claire, Jayden, and Seraphine, as they learn to control these powers that desire to consume them. Author Notes: Hello! This isn't my first attempt at writing a story, and it isn't even my first attempt at writing this particular story, but I'm not in any way what I would call "experienced". I decided to upload my writing here because I just wanted to get my ideas out there, and I wanted to get some constructive criticism for my writing from the RRL community. All comments are welcome, but please try to keep them positive and constructive! If you leave a rating, I would appreciate it if you left a short explanation of what you liked and what I can improve on. I'll be uploading each chapter as I finish them, but this is still the first draft so anything and everything is subject to change. The cover art is drawn by me, but I'm in no way married to it. I just wanted something that showed the three magical sources, as I picture them in my head. If you do any art based on this story, send it to me! I would love to see it. I'll stop talking now, I hope you enjoy the story!

Res Publica: Republic Among Monarchs
Leonhard has always questioned the idea of rulership. In this world of endless war and strife, he often pondered the validation of Monarchy and Republic. For the past decade, he had invested his life into studying it. Still, as the son of Patrician Pabio Zieten, head of one of the most prominent houses in the Republic of Iodeal, he found himself obstructed by the duties he must perform. These duties range from venturing into the post-succession war island kingdom, dealing with rivaling houses and even leading troops into the field of battle. It would seem as if he would never get the time needed to discover the way of rulership. But perhaps being involved in such politics would enable him to discover something much more important than he had originally hoped...

The Other - a (man) called Ted
A figure, large and present through time in ways most would not understand. Seemingly uncaring about all except his own principles, the one we refer to as the Other (for legitimate reasons, lest some accidentally call upon his old name), finds his way through life. Though refusing to claim the title himself, this (immortal)'s projects have begun to leave him behind, awaiting some accident to move him back into the world. - - - - - - Initially intended to be a novella, then a project to keep me sane in busy times IRL, this will be considered the roughest of drafts. Also, IRL may prevent me from regular updates after the backlog is done. Tags with a grain of salt, items may be mentioned briefly in story so far, or in chapters already written but not published. Content warnings just in case. Some perspective switching in the first several chapters. Legitimately though, in the first chapters an explanation is provided for referencing to the MC as 'the Other.'
