《Fenrir Rising》Interview Part 2
Advertisement
"Please have a seat." Elenor says as she smiles at Luna. "I must say that your pure white fur looks gorgeous."
"Thanks." Luna says with a smile as she sits down on the chair across from Elenor.
"Now then let's get down to business. Alright, Luna why don't you tell me about yourself."
"I not sure what to say. I guess I would start by saying that I like practicing archery, in fact, I'm getting really good at it."
"Yes, so I've heard. Suriel told me that you're better than most humans at it, that's very impressive for someone your age. Although it might be easier for you since you're not human, from what I've heard you pups have better reflexes and hand-eye coordination."
Luna didn't expect Elenor to be so nice to her. 'So this is why Skoll said it wasn't so bad.'
"Tell me about your brother Fenrir, what is he like?"
"I would call him a loner, at least more recently he has been keeping to himself more. Earlier today he freaked out while we were heading back home. He was right to be worried knowing what we know now, but it wasn't like him to do that."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I....I don't know, there is something different about him. I think he has becomes obsessed with protecting us, like he thinks we can't protect ourselves."
"So you can protect yourselves then? From what I've heard, he I think he just wants to become stronger than whatever danger comes your way. Although, I would agree with you on him being obsessed with it."
"I just don't want to talk about it. I've had a long day."
"That's fair, them how about we change the subject. Your mother Suriel, how do you feel about her situation?"
Luna gets angry at this question. "Her situation? Is that what you want to call this? It's more than a situation, her life is on the line here. This is an abomination, she didn't know that this was going to happen as a result of her actions."

"I understand that, but the fact is she that her actions even if they were unintentional have caused thousands of people their lives. Everyone's actions have consequences, and our justice system makes sure that those who cause harm to others are punished."
Luna crosses her arms, closes her eyes and takes deep breaths to calm down before she speaks again. "I know I can't do anything to stop her trial." Luna opens her eyes, stares at Elenor and furrows her eyebrows. "If you can't show any compassion for our mother then we are done here. Everything that she did, she did for us. She would give her life to protect us, and in this case, she pretty much is."
Luna sits up and walls out of the room slamming the door behind her. Walking up to Fenrir still looking angry, she tells him it's his turn.
"I'm guessing it didn't go well." Fenrir says.
"I don't want to talk about it." Luna says as she stares at the floor.
Fenrir stares at her for a few seconds before walking towards the door that she just came from. 'I wonder what Elenor said to her that pissed Luna off?'
Fenrir reaches the door and opens it. He walks inside and sees Elenor looking at him. "I didn't mean to upset her. I think I went too far with what I said."
Fenrir sits down in the chair facing her. "Let's get this over with."
"It seems that someone is impatient."
"Probably because I don't want to be here. This is all a waste of time."
Elenor senses the change in his aura. "I thought Mortas told you to tell the truth. So either you think this isn't a waste of time or you do want to be here."
Fenrir lets out an annoyed sigh. "Maybe a little of both."
"Are you an attention seeker, or are you just interested in conversing with someone different for once?"
"A little of both."
"Yet you still look bored. What are you feeling right now?"
Fenrir moves his eyes up to look at the ceiling. "I guess I have mixed emotions, I hate the fact that our mother is going to be executed but at the same time, I'm interested in talking to a human one on one."

"Is it interesting because it's new for you?"
"I guess it depends on the situation. Since I know you don't mean us any harm in a little more relaxed than I was before."
"Your siblings say that you don't spend as much time with them as you used too. What happened?"
"I just want to protect them. Our mother told us about the dangers that we could face after we leave home, I just want to be strong enough to face those dangers and to protect my brother and sister."
"That seems noble of you, but I must warn you not to take it too far. What I mean is to not become obsessed with power and ignore the ones you care about."
"If we trained together then I wouldn't be ignoring them. I'd rather they do what they enjoy doing, while I do what I enjoy."
"And what you enjoy is getting stronger, am I correct?"
Fenrir doesn't say anything. He just takes his eyes off the ceiling to look back at Elenor.
"I'll take that as a yes. However, you do realize that the three of you won't always be together. You can't always be there to protect them."
"I know I can't. I just want them to be happy, they don't enjoy training as much as I do, but I can at least do my best to protect them when I can. I don't want to see them get hurt, I feel like it's my responsibility to keep them safe."
"Since they don't like to train as you do, you feel the need to do it for them. Your aura is very strong, in fact, it's stronger than your siblings."
Elenor thinks for a moment to figure out how to word her next question more carefully. "Do you think it was right for us to put your mother on trial for her crimes?"
"At this point, I don't really care. There is nothing that I can do to save her."
"So you want to save her from her punishment?"
"I would if I could, or at least I would try to if I was strong enough. From what I understand your laws and punishment system helps keep order in this country. I agree that our mother should be punished for her actions, but at the same time I would save her if I could."
"How does that make you feel not being strong enough to save her?"
"I feel pathetic, I want to save those I care about from these things." Fenrir stares at the floor and starts to cry. "I hate being so weak, I feel like it's my fault that I can't do anything to save her. She gave everything up to give us another chance at life and I can't repay her for her kindness."
"It's not your fault, things happen in this world that cannot be fixed no matter how strong you are. You need to remember that."
Fenrir doesn't know what to say. He had never broken down like this in front of anyone before. 'She may be right, but I can at least protect people better than I can now if I gain more power.'
"Doesn't it feel good to let your emotions out?"
"Yeah, it does and I feel a little better."
"Bottling up your emotions isn't good for your health. I think you should also spend more time with your siblings, they are starting to get worried about you and you only have so much time to spend with them."
"Yeah, I know I ju...your right I should. I don't know why I stopped spending time with them."
Elenor is satisfied with the answer he gave. ' It looks like I might have started to send him on the right path, I just have to make sure that he continues on it.' "I think that's enough for now. We are almost done here, soon we can start to head towards the capital."

Artisan
Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon. The offending novel is The Artisan by Jon Moremont - obviously a GoT fan who didn't even read the blurb properly and put a wizard on the cover. Just wanted to let everyone know that this book has nothing to do with me, and has no new content. Thanks, and sorry again - LF Superhero Litrpg Skills, level-ups, powers, crafting, and base-building. Releasing a chaplet daily, ~1,200 words. It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high. In the era of the quantum computer, autonomous systems have taken over as the backbone of the workforce. Justin, 20 years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back, and since his government stipend will cover the expense, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new game: A Time of Heroes. Justin has never been that into multiplayer games, but for a full-immersion virtual reality where he can play a Superhero, Justin is definitely in. 'Superheroes and Villains are on the rise in an alternate America of 2020. Forces of good and evil must band together to control the future'. Justin plays Artisan, an alien AI trapped on Earth.Inventor, hacker, and gadgeteer to a team of heroes. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave reviews and comments.
8 202Shade and Flow
In the Wastelands, if you were cursed by Shade, you were destined to be shunned, driven away, even killed on sight; you were a creature of darkness, of shadow, cold-blooded and unwanted. But, if you were blessed by Flow, you were the best humankind could offer, a role-model for any sapients. Loke and Nova were born by the same parents, yet even though they embodied the two faces of the medal, they lived in the same dreadful circumstances, but what would happen if one day the greatest beings of the world decided that the siblings would become their Champions? A Warning: There is an Anti-hero lead for a reason, and there should also be a Y.A. tag, but RR doesn't have it; therefore here it is. So, there's going to be blood, there might be carnage, but there will also be wholesomeness, romance, and affection. But most importantly, there will be Action. About the LitRPG: This novel is a slow-burn, with a lot of character development, yet the LitRPG element starts in Chapter 3 and becomes more prominent as the protagonist evolves his Skill. Further elements appear in Chapter 38. I'm not a native speaker: If you see any typos, please point them out, and I shall fix them as soon as possible. Thank you! Release Days: Twice a weak Release Time: ~ 09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000
8 163Gameworld
Twenty years ago something had happened. The land and everything in it had changed. Magic was real and Technology was limited. New Races arose from the old and everyone was brought to an even playing field. Everyone starts at level 1 and levels up from there. Most folks will choose their class by level 5 and begin to grind out higher levels as they struggle to survive. Omachiw was different, half human and half elf he had been raised by the Elves he had once hunted. With no class and no family, he has become a jack of all trades, trying to survive in a world that had turned into a game. Based in part in the city of Regina in the Province of Saskatchewan Canada. This is a gritty urban fantasy story with horror elements set in a game world.
8 235Different World with Save and Load: A Horror Story
Being strong and being weak is a form of perspective. Are you really as weak as you think you are? Do you really have the power to level mountains and rend the seas? If people tell you are god then you are god, if people tell you are nothing then you are nothing. But who actually sees the whole picture? A not-so-good man (evil) managed to get transported to a not-so-real world (game-like) by a not-so-caring god (lazy). The world uses the all-so-famous “stats”, but he has no access to the so-called “system”. At least he managed to get a cheat from the lazy god, even if it took all his potential. What will a greedy villain with the ability to reset his progress do in a world that is more fake then real with a godlike hero, and a non-caring god?
8 89Song of the Unborn
Let me tell you a story A story about a beautiful song And those who sing it Alright, time for the real synopsis: Song of the Unborn takes place in a bleak and dark universe. The world is broken and unbalanced. Dark creatures roam the lands and the order that once existed as a beacon of hope has crumbled. Kalosýni is one of people who live in this cursed world, but thanks to the efforts of his father, he led a sheltered life. However, an unexpected cry on a seemingly normal night leads to a journey that will lead Kalos, his father and a pregnant woman on a journey across the kingdom of Faacri. UPDATE FOR BOOK 2 (Warning!!! Spoilers ahead.) Book 2, or Throne of the Lords kicks off right where we left off. A dark figure is claiming to be the dark lord, one prophesied to be the bringer of the apocalypse has appeared. But is there truth to the prophecy and how will Kalos, Raymond and company react to all this? FINAL UPDATE: The book is over... the part about Kalosýni. I just have a few side chapters to dump on you and boom, done. Hehe, it's been one helluva ride. ANNOUNCEMENT FOR POTENTIAL PATRONS: I think I'm ready to take the next step with this story of mine. Anyone interested in supporting my ambitious endeavours should follow the Patreon link. What will I be doing exactly? I really want Song of the Unborn to exist in as many mediums as possible and so, after publishing the novel on Amazon, I'm planning on creating a graphic novel version and we'll finally be able to see Kalosýni in all his glory. Well, that's my goal anyway.
