《Fluffy Tails and Horned Heads》Chap. 19, Escape from the Village
Advertisement
hm. hmm. Who is who...
welp, only real way to distinguish is to ask, right? But since I cant either speak or understand what they say, I suppose...
with a little twitch of the ear, both the villagers, whoever were attacking them and the three Squares weapons were floating in the air above them, out of reach.
Hnng, what is, with, this, wight...!!
heavyyyyyyyyyy...!!
before my mind gave out under the pressure, I quickly stabbed the weapons, which really was only swords, into the rooftops.
Huu, huu, huu... man that was... ah! Now, let's see... wait, what
at first, all of them were, as one could have imagined, confused. But soon everyone just kinda lunged at the three... this, uh...
where are the villagers? Are none of these villagers?? then why were they battling???
perhaps... ah, wait, I don't have time to think, the three Squares are being pummelled to heck and back!
I took a glance at the Wolfman, who looked exactly as confused as I was.
…
ok, my offensive abilities are crap, so, go! Wolfman!!
I pointed my paw (PEKA MED HELA HANDEN) at the group of villagers pretty much kicking the three Squares while they're down. Hm. Kinda feels like I heard something familiar again... eh, must be nothing.
The Wolfman must have at least kind of understanding, as he walked towards the group of villagers.
hm. now that I take a look, the villagers who I previously thought were hiding are actually holding... bows, uh... Safety hazard, I'm taking those!
The bows almost flew out of their hands and landed, according to my amazing expertise, on the rooftops. Hohoho. Soon enough, I'm pretty sure everyone was disarmed. Thanks to me. Hehehe.
Someone might just have noticed I might have been the one doing it, or something, since, well, someone charged at me. They were completely silent, an excellent sneak attack! However, one shouldn't underestimate my excellent sense of hearing! Hohoho, I could hear you a mile coming!

A wall of dirt quickly rose to defend both me and possibly the Wolfman. He looked rather surprised, didn't he also hear the attacker? hm. He should have at least smelled it, come on.
A “gasp” kind of sound came from beyond the wall. Hey, if I can throw sword all around, wouldn't you think I could at least do something like this? Well, this wall of dirt isn't actually that thicc, it just looks really strong. Hohoho.
Soon after the gasp, a knife stabbed its way through the wall. Welp.
Before whoever was holding the knife could have time to dislodge it, as it hit neither me nor the Wolfman, I grabbed it with, you guessed it, telekinesis. Man, I rely far too much on that, don't I... aaah, I'm not really a stoic, so I suppose I don't really have to practise their... ideals and theories... do I? Hrm. Ill just take that as a hard “NO”.
Anyhow, since whoever was beyond the Wall had no weapon and I had a knife + Werewolfcentaur, I suppose its safe to tear down the wall!
Is there anybody out there? The wall quickly disintegrated into a little pile of dirt at the feet of... the Girl from earlier... hm... curious... while I was distracted by merely realizing this fact, she tried to run away. I would have tried to catch her with the dirt, but the Wolfman had already grabbed her with his frankly terrifyingly muscular arms.
The Wolfman made some... uh, “wolf-y noises”. Possibly trying to say something along the lines of “where are you going, little girl?”. Man, if only he actually had a rugged-man-voice...
the Girl looked completely and utterly confused. Just like me.
“S-, släpp mig”
“Uwowowouuuuu.”
so... the Girl said something, probably like “you'll never get me ali-,”, ehem, “Release me, foul beast!” or something, and, it would seem... the Wolfman tried, once again, to speak. Who knows what he said? I can't even guess... then again, seeing his amazing efforts to be able to speak just like a normal person, it kinda inspired me to try as well...

“Hupp hupp one two one two”
…
that sounded like, uh... normal speak...
…
the Girl looked even more confused... in fact, I'm pretty sure she looks terrified. so... I probably didn't make any sort of comprehensible English, did I?
hmm, could it be, that to me, it just sounds like it sounds like that? Kind of like when you hear your recorded voice and it sounds completely terrible compared to how it sounds in your head? But... isn't that too far-fetched?
…
hmmm, in that case, perhaps the Wolfman just thinks he's speaking... whatever Asian language he speaks.
How strange... anyhow, we have a situation on our hands. Well, more like in our hands, well, more like in a hand, well, more like in his hand. We have a situation in his hand. That does not sound as good as my radial thinking led me to believe...
anyhow, we should probably save the three Squares, before they get beaten to death.
Once again, I (PEKA MED HELA HANDEN)-... p-, pointed my paw at the three Squares... I swear, every time I do that I hear something... but its far away and barely audible... weird...
the Wolfman seemed to have noticed this, as he flung the girl to his back and held her in place with two of his four arms. Gosh, he has many arms... but, I guess he'll need them all...
I threw myself on top of his shoulder and secured myself with some top-notch telekinesis. At some point, I will get to level two...
the Wolfman took a light step and basickly threw himself into the mix of villagers pummelling the three Squares, the villagers flying left and right. w-, whoa.
I didn’t realize you were amazing, Wolfman! Well, I mean, I did kind of battle you, but... the past is the past, all that truly matters is the present, so why bother? Ah, this is no time to think! Im pretty sure we could defeat all these villagers if we tried, I mean, we have the Wolfman... but killing is always wrong, even if it means we'll allow them to continue... whatever theyre doing.
Without any seeming thought, the Wolfman threw the three on his back and sprinted for the cart. Huh. Its empty. Did they... I think I might just know what this is. Perhaps, this whole village... gets travellers to help them”defeat” the attackers, and while they're busy, they steal their cargo? Nnnnnnnn
Aaaahhh, that cant be. No way. Its probably just... its probably just that, huh.
Anyhow, seemingly not minding the loss of our cargo, as well as our horses, the Wolfman threw everyone on the cart, took the reins that were supposed to be holding the horses, and ran, carrying us out of the village, around the village, and beyond.
It would seem... that we survived yet another day...
is everyone here?
Me, the Wolfman, Lönn, Bok, Ek, the Girl, wait, what

Kind’s Kiss
MAGIC DOESN'T KILL, NOT BY ITSELF. IT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP. Jessica DeRidder is a substitute teacher and mage in hiding, her daughter Ellen a killer on the run. Their next job lands the mother-daughter team in Hellhole, a small town in the middle of nowhere. All they need to do is their job. For Mom to identify the problem, and for Ellen to... fix it. Easy. Simple. But not this time. The pair find themselves caught in the struggle between the Man-in-White and the Wicked Witch of the West. A mysterious image and the theft of a deadly flower lead the pair to a score of dead prisoners, magical drug dealers, and red-eyed assassins falling from the sky. And somehow it all seems to be related to Ellen's murky past. All Ellen wants to do is do her homework, eat ice cream, and protect her newfound friends (not necessarily in that order). She'll go all-in, guns blazing. But when the smoke clears there may be nothing left but a stranger's past and a lonely future. --- 'Kind's Kiss' is a light, modern-day fantasy, easy on the magic, heavy on the snark. Though complete it is still a work in progress. One reviewer described it as 'Buffy meets Sabrina, as done by Tarantino'. I'm still not sure if I should consider that a compliment or hire a hitman :-)

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
