《TARGUM: The Architects Of Pride》Chapter 33. Undercover (Still working on it)
Advertisement
Waldorf and Godfrey stepped into the beam that emanated from the preset co-ordinates on the three dimensional image of Agios. Greaves could put someone within a span of where they wanted to be. Waldorf hoped for both their sakes that they would not materialise in a wall. Greaves had said this was impossible. Waldorf thought to himself 'there is always a first time.'
He had gotten use to Godfrey's new face. It was great to be able to walk with him without his friends mind chair. The lack of grumbling took some getting used to too.
They were both excited. An actual trip off Torah without some mindless bot giving them health and safety advice throughout. Was a real adventure. They had serious work to do. Deller was ruling Mangor with a strong will and was close to becoming worshipped. There was no doubt in Waldorfs mind that Deller would soon be making himself a diety. Building images of himself and controlling the people was something Waldorf and The Warden were trying to stop. This visit was more for finding out the way the magic worked and coming up with an idea to ensure it could be managed safely in the right hands. This was more Godfreys job but it tied together nicely for them both to do some undercover work.
They dressed in the manner of traders from nearby Turo. Godfrey commented that their clothes were far too clean and unruffled as they had been replicated as new. Waldorf suggested that when they arrived they should 'roll around a bit in the dirt'. Godfrey smiled at him.
The beam placed them safely on a strip of beach near to the quayside. The buildings of Pride were angular and spacious. It felt so well laid out. Not the crammed together hovels and sheds that Waldorf had seen on vids of Kings-Port. It was a rapidly growing town and was built with the future in mind. After the quiet beach the town itself was a hive of activity. It had a bustle. It had shops selling all kinds of food and drink. People everywhere, running errands, shopping and they all appeared to be happy.

"I think I like this town." Waldorf commented. "It would be a lovely place to retire."
"I think I would rather live at Evans my friend. I thought you were against retirement? It may be a nice place to visit. That inn looks rather tempting. Shall we pop in after our business is done?" Godfrey replied.
Waldorf nodded with a grin. "It has been a while."
Waldorf realised he missed life. It was so nice to be amongst people again.
He continued towards the guild house. He was on a mission. He vowed to himself that he would like to visit more planets and towns in the future. For now he had a job to do.
After climbing the slight slope through an avenue of trees. They came to a large door and pulled a chord that rang a bell. A rather agitated woman in her youth answered the door. The cause of her agitation seemed to be several toddling children pulling at her hem.
"We are here to see Soloman. We are traders." Waldorf spoke precisely. Godfrey looked embarrassedly at the floor.

AOT: Boats
I know, the title doesnt seem to make sense. Its an acronym. For what? Hm. T means True. Up to you otherwise. Oh, right. The acronym actually does have an impact on one of the themes of the "story". At the same time I mixed it up with a reference to the original plan for this when I started, so yay. A double. Well, actually, a triple. Again, up to you. I should also mention that, as the rhyme that starts the story probably tells you, its gonna get kinda disturbing. All kinds of disturbing. Just to let you know.

The Chronicles of Artharian Dagworth
Back in 2020 there were many theories on how the world would end. From the many religions apocalypses, nuclear wars that would leave the planet inhabitable, global warming doing the same, biological weapons getting out of control, viruses mutating into unstoppable diseases to the dead raising to prey on humanity, either due to a virus or just because hell filled up. Also, aliens, from the war mongering kind to the ones so advanced they didn’t see us as more than worms. And of course there was the fail proof theory that the world would end when the sun died. In a bunch of billion years give or take. Althougth some new scientist were discussing if the end would be on the take side, since when the sun started dying things would go haywire on the entire solar system and we would collide with mercury or maybe mars way before the expanding sun engulfed earth. But I digress… Now, those were the mainstream theories that the everyday Joe, who didn’t know the big secret, worried about. So, if you were to ask me which theory was correct I can tell you that I haven’t seen any little green man, at least not from another planet, and so far the sun is still shining, although it’s been only 9 years since everything went to hell, not the few billions (give or take) the scientist predicted, so that one isn’t ruled out yet. These two aside, I'd say all of them. Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at writing. I have been planning to do it for a really long time, and while this is not the one epic fantasy idea I ever wanted to write, I think it's a good one. The plan is to write an end of the world urban-fantasy series. Think a world like Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Iron druid, where magic is real but exist hidden from society meets the apocalypse. It will be written in first person in the Dresden Files style, no plans for other POV for now. As you probally alredy guessed from my style, english is not my first langague, so while google corrector helps, expect grammar errors, and I'd be gratefull for anyone to point them. I plan to write 2 to 3 chapters a week, 2000-4000 words each. Might change as I get more experience and depends on my free time. Cover image from the colections of getwallpapers.com
