《Tails of life》Chapter 8
Advertisement
I get up off the living room floor as I looked around I seem to be covered in something wet as a scent of something metallic is in the air. As I sit up the house is dark and quiet as I see a trail of Heading to the kitchen as I get up I start to follow it. As I rounded the corner I see body parts everywhere as I see flashes of images of family and friends screaming as I eat them. I wake up with a yelp in panic as Hoshi looks down at me "are you ok?" As I wake up I was shaking and breathing heavily as my voice is shaky I bark and growl at her it was a nightmare I was eating people I know and love. Hoshi looks at me "it was just a dream I won't let that happen I'll have to train you to control your dreams." Dreams why? "Some monster can control you through your dreams just don't let them influence you. Now for that information, you need to get me food." As I stand up I noticed I was in my fox form but I was smaller as I look at myself I'm about three feet long I look at Hoshi why 'em I so small I'm usually around six feet long what happened? "You used to much magic this is what happens to monster and spirits they get smaller and very weak that's why we don't use it all.
Now I smell food and see it in this glass window thing but can't get it so tell me how to get the food." That is called a vending machine I growl at her you need money. "Wheres that credit thing you used earlier." I have it right here but I don't have hands to get you anything. "You have a mouth you can use to hold it." Why would I hold the thing in my mouth? "You did it earlier in the park." No, I was holding it in my hand I saw it you saw it. "No, I saw a fox holding something in its mouth walking around with me maybe when you walking around on two legs but not when on four." As she came over to me picking me up she put the card into my mouth as she carries me the vending machine "so how does it work?" With the card in my mouth, I growl you have to put me up to that thing sticking out. Lifting me I turn my head and swipe the card. Now just push the letter and number and the food will fall. As she brings me lower she looks at the keypad well what are you gonna get as she looks upset what's wrong. "I can read it" as she says in a low whisper. What did you say? "I can read your people's writing."

As the card falls from my mouth I turn to look at her why did you not say anything before. "We kitsune do not ask for help unless we have no choice." Ok, but you could have asked me if I'm one of you now "I dose not matter who or what anyone is we don't ask if you people offer to help that different the kitsune tend to accept offers." Ok, do you want me to teach you to read our written language? "If you have time then yes." Alright just put me up there as she lifts me to the pad I use my front paw to push the buttons and the food falls.
I feel Hoshi starts to get excited as I tell her to hand me the card putting back in my mouth I repeat the process five more times. As Hoshi carries the food to the sofa I walk behind her jumping on to the sofa. She puts some food down I front of me I look at her how do I eat this without hands? I growl "Just bend your head down and eat like a dog." I can't wait till I have hand again " you'll be able to in about fifteen minutes in about ten you should return to your normal fox size." Well at least I'll be bigger and I walk a little easier as I eat a powder donut.
After eating I was able to turn back to my were form as a door appears and a lady walks through it. "Hello, I'm here to take you to get your monster bands if you will come this way please." As we follow her I grab the credit card and hoodie as we go through the door as we come into a room that has a large u-shaped table with six round balls that look at Metal as we walk up to the I start to hear and smell other creatures.

REND
In an alternate reality Earth, where a mysterious organization of superhumans fights eldritch horrors taking over people's minds, Erind Hartwell, a first-year law student with psychopathic tendencies and obsessive compulsion to follow an inexplicably arbitrary set of Rules, seemed normal in comparison. And that is what she is going for. Society frowned on different—especially her kind of different. Rule #4, "I wouldn’t bother the world as long as it didn't bother me." Unfortunately, the world bothered Erind's normal life. On the brink of death, an entity came offering powers to save her. Left with no other choice, she accepted it, changing into a new form—the first of many that'll help her survive this dangerous world. REND is a twist on the superpowered human genre combined with eldritch horror, but its main emphasis is character development and exploration, as it is mainly a psychological story. REND offers a unique reading experience. If you're looking for something different from the mainstream, then this story just might provide the experience you didn't know you were looking for. Cover is part of a wallpaper art commissioned from CristianAC. Chapter release every multiple of 5 days (5th, 10th, 15th, etc.) of the month. 10 am Central/ 3pm GMT

Cover is found here and all credit goes to the origninal producer of the artwork: https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/847732329833010318/ Note: There is not set release schedule and there likely won't be one. There may be a month's between releases which are only 1000 ish words in size. So I highly reccomend coming back when there is a decent amount of reading material present. There is also no set plan for this fiction and it'll be used to release some stress, improve my writing, and to list down concept ideas possibly.

Conquest of Avalon
Revenge. The Kingdom of Avalon swept across the Empire of the Fox a generation past, conquering the heartlands and leaving the broken remnants to stew in the island duchy of Guerron. This isn't a story of Good versus Evil, of kindly kings doing their best to lift all subjects, or of unvarnished heroes doing battle against evil. Instead, this story is about power: who has it, who wants it, and what people will do to obtain it. It is about the violence inherent in the imperial project and how even the most well-intentioned rulers and conquerors are, still, engaging in systemic violence against those conquered and defeated. Our three point-of-view characters are a peasant turned fire wizard, an excitable duelist with more enthusiasm than sense, and a scheming mage-priestess bent on reclaiming her family's birthright and waging war on the foreign oppressors who rule her home... no matter the cost in blood or treasure.
