《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》More Quests with Blackie
Advertisement
Entering the guild, I looked at the quest board for any interesting or new quests. However, it seems that there were only old quests. So, I decided to go slay some monsters. After choosing the quests I felt were easy and quick to finish, I took the copy of the quests and jumped on Blackie. With a screech, Blackie took to the air and we headed south towards the desert. The first quest is to slay some Cyclops. From the map, I can see that this a Cyclops Hill in the south. Remembering how Cyclopes came and attacked Chogan's home, I decided to help the Taurens vent some anger.
Minutes later, we arrived at Cyclops Hill. Looking down, I see a group of 10 cyclops warriors marching north. It seems that their target is the Tauren Village.
"Hmph, not on my watch." I snorted as I urged Blackie towards the group of Cyclopes.
Blackie dove towards the Cyclopes, scattering them. As Blackie flew towards each Cyclopes, I took out my skinning knife and beheaded each Cyclops. After finishing off the band of Cylcopes, I removed an eye and stored it in my bag. Then, I looked at the corpses and burned them to ash.

After finishing off the 10 Cyclopes and collected the Cyclops eye, I headed towards the Ant Nest. Upon arriving at the nest, I scanned the surroundings and chose the furthest one from the rest. Using the method I used previously, I made an encirclement around the nest with firewood. Then, I poured alcohol on the firewood and on the nest. Then, I cast fireball that is made of Flames of Wrath onto the nest and the firewood. Fire spread out and continued burning. Ants started pouring out only to get caught in the fire. Blackie took out the stragglers and escapees. After minutes have gone by, all the ants were killed and the nest was burned to the ground. Finishing up, I jumped on Blackie and we flew towards the north to North Mountains.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the North Mountains. A battle was going on between a Wyvern and a Firebird. Approaching closer, I heard the conversation that the two battling beasts were exchanging.
"Your kind killed my son!" The Wyvern roared. "Admit it you cowardly bastards!"
"Hmph! Where's your proof you fake Dragon?!" The Firebird snorted.
"There were flame marks all over his nest! Other than you vile creatures, who else can it be?"
"Flame marks? Hmph! You wannabes are so stupid compared to the real Dragons. Just because there's fire doesn't mean it couldn't be those adventurers."
It seems the two are fighting over the deaths and destruction that was caused by me and Blackie a few days ago. I sent Blackie a mental message and told him to use the tactic we did previously. With a nod, Blackie charged towards the two fighting monsters. As we neared the monsters, we separated from each other. I jumped towards the Wyvern and Blackie rammed towards the Firebird.
"Who are you?" The Firebird growled as it winced in pain.
"Uncle, you don't remember me?" Blackie asked with a evil grin.
"Y-you...you're supposed to be dead!"
"Blackie! Kill him, don't let him report back to the Firebird Patriarch!" I shouted.
With a nod, Blackie charged towards the Firebird. The Firebird snorted and charged forward as well. *CRAASSSHH!* The two birds collided with each other. But, Blackie was stronger and pushed back the Firebird. Then, he reached towards the Firebird's neck and smashed the Firebird into a mountain. While, they were fighting, I crashed the Wyvern to the ground. The Wyvern's legs were broken from the landing and could not stand up. Jumping off the Wyvern, I cast a fireball at the Wyvern. The fire spread quickly and endlessly until the struggling Wyvern burned to ashes. I looked up to see how Blackie was doing.

Blackie was faring better because he was stronger. The Firebird was thrashed around under Blackie's throws and was soon battered to exhaustion. Collapsed, its flames seem to be dimmed significantly. When a Firebird's flames dim, it represents that their health is diminishing and it dies when its flames are put out.
The Firebird looked at Blackie and growled, "You won't dare!"
"Hmph." Blackie snorted before stomping on the Firebird's neck, breaking it.
After Blackie killed the Firebird, he grabbed the corpse and placed it at my feet. I stored the corpse into my storage ring. Then, I jumped on Blackie and we flew back to the guild. I submitted my successes.

Binary Soul
So let's say there's this girl. A young girl who happens to be a highly-trained, psionically-gifted, nanite-infused, genetically-enhanced and emotionally unstable assassin that doesn't know the concept of 'mercy' or 'holding back.' Let's say she and her imaginary friend miraculously pass through the borders of reality into an alternate universe, crash landing into a world of swords and magic aboard a starship full of high-tech wonders. Now, let's also say the first person this borderline psychopath meets happens to be her doppelganger - a highly gifted mage who happens to have a few problems of her own, like a bad temper or a bad habit of chronic self-delusion. With me so far? Good. Now, what's the on the agenda for these two different people who happen to be the same person? Settle down, start a family and thoroughly enjoy life. Maybe get married and have some kids. How about befriending a violent alcoholic or defeating an ancient evil being? Perhaps kill a few dragons and wreck a city along the way. Anything can happen around the city of Runetap, after all. It's a place where bizarre and strange things occur on an almost weekly basis. The people living there have long abandoned silly things like common sense or minding the details. A giant flaming UFO streaks above the city in broad daylight? That's just another Tuesday. The City Guard even had the form for that, so believe me when I say this. It's your loss if you mind it. This is the light-hearted and fluffy tale of Ellie and Kira as they forge their own path of absurdity and crazyness across a world that often makes little sense. Loosely inspired by the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett, even though the author hasn't actually read any of them. Contains yuri, mature themes and the author's personal views on several subjects. Explicit content is kept to a minimum.Does NOT contain slavery, rape, drugs or any other similarly heavy themes.
