《Eternal Dream》Chapter 5 - Encounter With The Red Arrow
Advertisement
When I first opened my eyes, my vision was blurry. My head was spinning as I can hardly get up to see what was going on. The land was filled with green trees all around with a scent of blood. I let out a scream as I tried to move my body away only to feel another soft, slender hand near me.
To my relief, it was my friend Aurora who was by my side, still unconscious. I started to shake her gently from her slumber only to be hit in the face.
Aurora quickly got up with a frown, "I was dreaming of food until you woke me!"
I sighed and frowned, "This is no time to be sleeping and dreaming of such things!"
Then Aurora started at me with shock, pointing at me and trying to speak but no words can out. Slowly, she spoke, "Alicia... Your hair is white and your eyes are as red as Lucifer's!"
"You must be joking." I said, but starting to believe her a bit. I looked around and spot a lake that was a couple feet away from us.
I stood up, wobbled a bit, but managed to get on my feet to walk towards the lake and scan my reflection. My hands covered my face in shock as what Aurora said was true.
"This... Isn't happening..." It can't be, can it? I let out a screech as if my life was ending.
Aurora came by my side and patted my shoulder. "No worries. You're one of those 'Twilight' vampires that can't die in the sun. Ku ku ku ku."
I growled, ready to kill my friend for even relating me to that until I froze in fear. Five, green shaped humanoids with sharp teeth were staring at us. Their clothes were tattered and their body were masculine. Aurora turned too with her eyes widen in shock.

The thing that actually scared us, were their weapons which consisted of clubs, axes, and wooden shields. The biggest one in the middle puffed out his chest, "Gobble, gobble, wish has sone nice little girlish for our pleasish boyz."
The other four goblins also had lustful eyes at us. Aurora hid behind me and whispered into my ears, "I have a plan. Alicia, use your famous sword skills while I run."
I turned and gave her a dumbfounded expression, "Do you see me wielding a sword? And when will you be back?"
"Get a stick. Sticks solve everything. Poke them in the eye. And I'll come back, maybe ten years to your funeral."
The goblins started to laugh as they started to creep over us.
Out of nowhere, a knight in shining armor jumped between us. His blond hair flowing as his hazel eyes glared, "You shall not harm my princess."
Aurora looked around, "Who's he talking to? You know what," she yelled out to him, "THAT'S RIGHT. I'MA PRINCESS. PRINCESS OF THE POOR."
I looked at her.
She shrugged, "What? I like living."
The goblins were dumbfounded by their new foe. I, on the other hand, stared at his armor with a sinister expression, "Aurora, let's steal is armor. Ku ku ku ku."
Aurora gave me a poker face then frowned. "How dare you. Why would you steal his armor? Like just his armor? We need to steal his sword too."
So there went out plan. As the knight was attacking the beast, one of them crawled behind us and hurled his ax at us.
Aurora screamed and threw a rock at it, "HEY. PRINCESS IN DANGER. THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT. I DEMAND EXPLANATIONS NOW!"
The sword rang as it slammed against the ax. The knight forced the beast to lose balance as he slashed it in symmetrical. He then turned to us with a wink at Aurora as he kissed her hand.

Aurora gave a poker face as she nodded slowly, "Princess of the poor is also confused."
"RAH!"
He turned as another attacked with a killer instinct. The knight swung his blade at him, and before he knew it, his stomach gushed out in blood as he ripped the sword out.
The rest of the goblins froze as this time, they were fearful his swordsmanship.
"Leetz retreatezz ands has our revenged blonde fuu." the goblin leader grumbled.
They started to make their escape, but before they could take another step, they low voice called out to them. "Think you can run away from me? You better think again. Haha." the knight laughed.
The aura around him started to emit in gold as he charged up with his sword in hand. With one swing, the four goblins' head rolled on the floor.
The blond knight unsheathed his sword into his scabbard and walked over to us with a smile as he took Aurora's hand and helped her out. He bowed as he introduced himself, "My name is James Black son and I am at your service, my lady."
Aurora didn't utter a word. Instead she whispered to me, "I'm too scared. He has a sword. And you saw what he did to those things. We're gonna die. And I haven't tasted the pastries in France yet!"
I jumped in front and spoke for her, "You may address me as Alicia and my friend over here Aurora. We are grateful for your help, sir knight."
Sir James stood up and puffed out his chest, full of confidence, "Fear not as I shall defend you ladies with my life!"
Aurora mumbled, "Before you kill us and take out lives."
Despite Aurora's suspicion, the man looked very kind with his smile. With my eyes on his armor and sword, we gave a sly smile. Thus, our journey in another world begins!

Title Pending Adventures of Jackson and Barbara in another world!
Jackson Ripper is transported with his class to another world. As one would expect, they are asked to fight in a pending war, much to Jackson's distain. But, a month after arriving he is separated from the rest of his classmates and loses an arm and a leg. Worse yet, the person who mutilated him clings to his side. Now, he begins travelling with this walking natural disaster in a strange new world. Author notes: This is a story I started writing roughly two years ago (roughly 2017) on a whim and started using it to improve my writing skills. As such, it's mostly wish fulfillment based loosely on anime, light/web novels and comics. But wait, why post my strange, gruesome dream world on the internet? Because, I have a goal of one day writing something worth publishing. But to reach that goal, I need criticism, suggestion and advice. Plus it feels like a waste to keep this beauty all to myself. I currently plan to release one chapter a week, on Saturday afternoon or evening.

Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
