《A Fool's Wish》Chapter 4 Page 7 - Flyer
Advertisement
A few days after that incident flyers distributed in towns, the flyers stated that a group of soldiers had been attacked by a vicious almost beast like man in the woods. A troop of soldiers were now sent by the new king to investigate the incident; more importantly to find out who was behind that criminal act. Reward money is given to anyone that has any valuable information.
When Akilah saw the flyers, she knew it was about her, however she wasn't bothered by it. Although she wasn't certain is that the girls would keep quiet about the incident since reward money was being offered, but even if they did tell the soldiers, she still wouldn't be caught. Akilah figured that she could rest easy knowing that they'll never find out that it was her because she had used a disguise, and in order not to get caught she simply would not use that disguise ever again.
Though the same can't be said for Adara since she wasn't wearing a disguise that day. That did worry Akilah to a certain extent however, Akilah figured that she just needed to make sure that Adara would wear a disguise every time they left the house. If anything were to happen, which was highly unlikely, Akilah would simply uproot their house and transported somewhere else. Although this was seen as a last option since Adara had grown familiar with the place.
There was another thing that was bothering Akilah, she was certain that she had casted the oblīviscor spell on soldiers that would make them forget about that whole incident, thus it made her wonder ‘how was her spell broken?’ and ‘was her spell possibly undone by someone else?’. This led her back to the conversation she had with ladybug about the man said wish to have powers strong enough to last for generations. Meaning that there is a possibility that the person that undid her spell might be descendants of that man.

These thoughts run through Akilah’s head almost daily, but she wasn't that she was nervous or anxious. No, the feeling that Akilah was feeling was more along the lines of excitement. She wanted to see the possible descendants of that man; she was curious. Although she lived a peaceful and happy life with Adara like she always wanted, things were starting to bore her a bit. Peacefulness is nice but four years of straight peacefulness after almost 10 years of savagery tended to make her a bit bored. She simply wanted some excitement in her life, something that she could observe from the side-line, that she did not need to be directly involved in.
Adara walked in after watering her garden and saw Akilah sitting next to the window looking at completely lost in thought Adara had noticed that Akilah seemed to be more lost in thought these days, as if something were occupying her mind. She assumed that it had to do with the soldiers coming to investigate the fighting incident. She didn't know how to approach Akilah about this since she didn't even know exactly why this had become of such interest for her in the first place. Because that already discussed it and Akilah had stated that she would change her disguise and avoid being caught. Clearly something about those flyers were occupying Akilah’s mind, Adara then decided to casually bring up the subject of the flyer and then hopefully Akilah would open up about what’s been bothering her.
“Hey, Aki” Adara said while sitting down next to her
“Yeah, what is it” Akilah responded while shifting her eyes from the window to Adara
“I’ve been wondering about the flyers…” Adara stopped to think quickly of what question she wanted to ask, she hadn’t thought this plan out thoroughly.

“How come they describe you as a beast man?” She finally settled with.
“Oh…That’s because of the aftereffects of the spell”
“Aftereffects?” Adara asked
Yeah” Akilah answered and sighed “When my spells are tempered with or broken it leads to aftereffects. In this case it was a forgetting spell, thus the aftereffects are that the persons memories of that event are now distorted, hence why they assume I’m a beast man.”
‘Broken spell’ Adara thought ‘I didn’t know that Aki’s spells could even be broken’.
“But Aki-”
Just as Adara was about to ask Akilah about how such a thing was possible their magical security monitor set of their alarms, someone was approaching the area of their house.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
