《The Coin of Fate》Chapter 10 a stroll into the night
Advertisement
"Life and Death were really happy of how the God project worked!
Each Plane and World increased their life span of bilions at least!
Was it perfect? Nah! It still failed after a while but it bought enought time so that the Two could continue to create for a little longer.
Obviously things couldn't stay put and new problem surfaced!
An Ego turned a hero into a God making it something more... An Overgod. Not only that! Some being learnt how to travel from place to place inside the Plane of Creation, the beings of more advanced Worlds and Planes could learn how to travel to the newly formed ones and conquer them, strip them for resources, obtain slaves for cheap labor or even worse! They could easily become Overgods!"
-Bee May, the faery of knowledge
"Solve a problem and a thousand more will appear!"
Little Wolf was dejected, it was his big day! He finally became a hunter! But then, something bigger happened and somehow everyone seemed to forget about him.
All of the important people were inside the village chief home and the others stopped working to speculate about what they saw.
So Little Wolf thought about what happened today for a while and came to a solution! If they didn't wanna talk about him, he just needed to know everything that happened into the woods so the village had to talk to him!
He needed to speak with the hurt hunters! But Little Wolf couldn't enter into the healers side of the caretakers longhouse! Clumsy Annabelle! She could heal! Without him clumsy Annabelle always got hurt so the angry old woman, the oldest person of the village, the one that knew the healing propreties of all the erbs, mushrooms, dirt and animals in the forest, taught clumsy Annabelle how to heal so that she could take care of herself and from time to time her mother.

Little Wolf ran to the wall around the village and hid into the shadows. He started to control his breathing, his heart beating rithm accelerated. His arms, legs, nails and hairs elungated. The eyes of Little Wolf started to shine a blood red light, he knew father Sidon didn't approve of letting his wild side free but he couldn't escape the watch of the hunters manning the walls without it.
Little Wolf stood still and focused on his hearing, he could hear every beating heart, every breath exhaled inside the village, the words of every talking villager came in jumbled he wasn't good enough yet. When Little Wolf could feel the heart beat of the hunters a good distance away and their breath in the opposite direction of his planned escape point he moved, jumped from the shadow to the edge of the wall, touched with just the tip of the foot and pushed, he flew into the woods, used his clawed hands to stick into a hardwood trunk then scaled it, when he knew the hunters couldn't see him anymore Little Wolf found a branch big enough and started jumping from branch to branch. He knew of a pond a little far away where he could find some sleeping mushroom and bloodcloth moss, if he brought it with clumsy Annabelle the healers might let him inside, so he could ask what happened to the hurt hunters!
His travel speed over the trees was faster than on the ground so, in a little less than a hour he found that pond. While he was collecting the healing components Little Wolf thought about the strangeness of the woods this evening, there were no animals around. He felt their hearts going off like crasy, they were all scared and in hiding. Something big was going on and he needed to know what. Satisfied of his work Little Wolf started his journey back to the village, the silence of the woods were creeping him out so he accellerated a little more, he was still as silent as a ghost but sometimes his ears could hear his movements and his bestial istincts didn't like that, he was the ultimate predator! The unseen threat! The unheard threat! He strained his hearing even more and away from the village and to the east in the direction of the mountains. Little Wolf heard something strange, really strange. He heard bleating mixed with howls and even from so far away he could smell a faint trace of beast blood in the air.

Little Wolf slowed down and with praticed moves snuck inside the village, found clumsy Annabelle smell and followed it. He came to the caretakers longhouse, perfect! In the shadows of the caretakers longhouse Little Wolf was breathing hard and his body was spasming from time to time, he was turning back into the more human form, it was so easy to let go and be one with his wild side but turning back was always hard. Mother Fianna taught him how to be around people, how to not be so scary. Father Sidon taught him how to fight his wild side, how to control it, how to wield it, a sharp claw is worthless if it hurts the people you care about.
Back to normal Little Wolf ran inside the caretakers longhouse, the village chief house was still noisy. He knew that mother Fianna brought unlucky Mary with her as her second so, clumsy Annabelle was alone! When Little Wolf joined her clumsy Annabelle was sleeping so he just shook her lightly until she woke up.
"W-what are you doing here Little Wolf? It's dark outside, you should be at your house sleeping and even better letting me sleep!"
Said a sleepy and vexed Annabelle.
"I need your help clumsy Annabelle, I snuck out of the village to get some healing thingys! You need to give them to the angry old woman and distract her so I can talk to the hurt hunters!"
Little Wolf explained his plan proudly.
"YOU WHAT!?!"
Yelled a now really awake Annabelle.
"Shhh!"
Little Wolf put a hand to Annabelle's mouth
"Will you help me? You will right?"
He pleaded.
"You are really reckless you know?"
Sighed Annabelle.
Little Wolf did his best puppy eyes and clumsy Annabelle snorted.
"Sure, I'll help you. Just so you know your eyes are just too strange and scary to be used in a cute way."
Said Annabelle.

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.

8 133LiNa's Ten-Winged Cultivation
LiNa was just an average teenage girl, who one day got hit by a flower pot right on the head. How “lucky” was that? When LiNa woke up, she was not in a hospital bed but an unknown world full of demons, mythical creatures, endless danger, and…lots of sweet potatoes. Oh, she ended up in the Land of Ruins which was one of the most barren places on this so-called Aniesian Continent, and forced herself to forget the taste of meat. She was on the way to exchange for some sweet potatoes when came across a dead young man. In a crazy blizzard, she used almost every single cell in her body to drag him home, leaving a trail of red blood across the fluffy snow, which later on…he rewarded her with a stick on the head! Right on the same spot where the flower pot hit her. Never have I seen such an ungrateful person! Better not let me see him again! And guess what? He was very much stuck with her for some time, or even....the rest of her life. How could LiNa survive these harsh conditions, babysit that icy-cold-face person, and overcome all the challenges to become a legendary ten-winged immortal?
