《Queen of Monsters》Protea's Diary - II

Mountdawn, 34th of Aluvia, Year 422
It finally happened; I met Prince Galian today!
Before now, I had only ever seen him in paintings and the magical images sent to me from the palace, but now I finally knew who he was.
He didn’t look like I expected him to, but that’s not a bad thing. At least I don’t think so. Obviously, since he’s the Crown Prince, the paintings given to me all exaggerated his good features and downplayed the bad ones. Compared to him, the paintings were all hard to look at now.
We took a walk in the Royal Gardens together. I’d never been there before, so Zephyrine and I had to walk behind him and his guards so we wouldn’t get lost. It was so awkward at first. We just stare at the flowers, the sky, and the ground, and if we k=locked eyes by accident we would turn away from each other quickly. I was so sure that the meeting was going to end in disaster - I’ve heard so many horror stories from my cousins about things like this.
Then finally one of us decided to break the silence. Galian (that’s what he told me to call him from now on) asked me about my schooling. Not a very good start, but it was better than nothing. Then I mentioned this new play my tutor gave me - Widows and Agents - and his eyes lit up like Lantern Flowers!
I had no idea that Galian had such a love for theater! We practically spent hours talking after that; I learned that his favorite playwright is Venture Palmio. A decent man I guess. The Lament of Mala the Younger was a fine play, but I suppose comedies just aren’t for me. But I digress. Anyway, we had a great time today. I almost didn’t want to leave.

But Father seemed troubled for some reason, and so did Mother. When we ate dinner, they kept whispering to each other and looking at me from across the table. I tried to ask them why they were upset, but neither of them gave me a clear answer. Father claimed it was just about business and Mother said they were planning another trip to the Palace.
Johannes hardly noticed that were arguing - thank the Nine. He was too busy bragging about the new sword-fighting tutor he got. I’m sure he’ll be gone by the week though.
I’m not gonna let any of this get in my way though. Galian and I are friends now, and I have a duty to my family. I don’t quite know what everyone means by that last part yet, but I won’t let them down regardless!
Sincerely,
Lady Protea Fynderne of Frostenden

Celestial [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG]
Warning!Profanity, unconventional relationships, drug use, descriptive gore and intimacy. Celestial is a slow-paced and action-packed progression fantasy with elements from the LitRPG genre. The story focuses on the protagonist’s personal growth, violence, sex, exploration and adventure. Follow Zelaria as she embarks on her journey of exploration and adventure, seeking ever greater heights of power. With an affinity for the elusive and mysterious Arcane and a preference for the thrill of close combat she nonetheless chooses to walk the path of a mage. A mage may still use weapons but a warrior rarely casts spells as far as she knows. It’s a logical path for her even if others may call it insanity. What do they know? Most people who choose to specialize in wielding mana tend to pick a mage class aligned with their element. Why become a standard mage, average at everything, when you can use your affinity for fire to become a fire mage and cause destruction with ease? The only problem for Zelaria is that no one seems to know how to get a mage class aligned with the arcane. Approaching 17 years of age she’s still at level 0 while her peers have long left her behind, their classes selected at the age of 15 when they became available. Luck is on her side though as she manages to snag employment as a hauler with a party heading on an expedition to a dungeon abandoned centuries ago. They’re looking for riches and danger while she’s still looking for an answer, one she finds at their destination even if not in the way she expected. Nothing is going to stop her from enjoying all that the world has to offer, not the wish of her parents or even her death. I'll be aiming to upload 5 chapters in bulk every week.

(Chapters are output once a day, unless I am sicck or have a migraine. Once every two days.) Due to being a little too edgy, I decided to reboot in another slightly less edgy version.. 'People fear the unknown, it's classic to fear what isn't known, right? You fear what can harm you at that second. You fear death and betrayal. You fear power that is beyond reason? Why is it that I can't make you feel fear at my name? Why is it that when my footsteps are heard, you don't shat yourself? Does the Dancing Skulls meaning nothing to you?' I slowly take off my mask. Staring the blue-eyed king in the face, watching his eyes trembled and leak.. His lips crack and bleed from imprints. His nose flare out and blood leak out. And yet, in my dark green eyes, I saw no fear.

Mark of the Lash
Born from a precarious relationship between a Drow and his prize, Serena Lash struggles to find her place, and herself, as she fights to persevere through the hardships life throws her way. A story born from a D&D game I am currently a part of. The narrative will follow the events of the campaign as closely as possible, with some events having been tweaked to better fit into a written story. A slow burn, the narrative does skip around a bit due to the nature of the campaign, considering that not everything in the game needs to be written about. This will begin to peter out the further the story progresses, but for the first parts, expect a bit of skipping!
